Presidential year, and the people are
scrutinizing the history Of the Demo
cratic party since its advent on March
4, 1912. 1t is hoped TO excuse an un
necessary tax oy removing it after it
has taken more than one hundred mil
lion dollars ont Of the pockets Of the
people. Furthermore, the tax is sim
ply going to be shifted around and
those who are now paying the tax di-
rectly will hereafter pay it indirectly,
because taxes which are levied on one
set Of citizens, or one group Of manu-
facturers, is bound 10 be prorated
among al! the people in one way or an
other.
Besides avoiding, or trying TO avoid
the war tax, the Democrats have COW
cred up the heavy deficits in the
Treasury by fictitious statements. The
daily Treasury statement is genuine
piece OF modern fiction. 1t shows ;
net balance OF more than one hundred
million dollars, whereas, instead Of there
being working balance there is al
actual deficit. II is, Uf course, anus
ing to assume that the people are fool
ed by this kind Of work. The repea
OF free sugar has been accomplished a
quietly as possible because Of tn
promises made that it would reduc
the cost Of living. The second hall c

Increasing Imports Decreasing ReVenuI

illCitdSiIB illlpUit ueLledSIIIs hS'e"uS
The statistics for the eight month end
ed February, 1916, show that foreign
ers sent to our market nearly one mil
lion dollars worth Of goods daily more
than came in for the some period end
ed February, 1915, also under the
Democratic tariff law, During the
1916 period we imported 81, 29l, ,OOO,'
900 worth Of goods. During the 1915
period we imported Sl,056, 100000
worth of goods, or S235, 900, 200 less,
During the period ended February
1918, under Republican law, the value
of our imports was Sl,246, GOO, 900, or
S45, 10000 less than the period just
past. But the world was then at peace
and the goods that came in under the
Republican law produced revenue
which enabled us to run the Govern
meut efficiently and give US a good
surplus. We took in customs reve-
nues for the amount Of about S223,OO-
0,000. During the eight months end
ed February, 1916, the customs rev.
enues fell to sl32,OO0,O0O, or S9l,-
100000 less than under Republican
law although imports were considerably
greater. Mr.. Underwood declared
that his bills provided rates OF duty
which would create active competition
OF foreign with American made goods
and which would so encourage impor-
tation that we would have ample reve'
nues. See how it worked out. We
are getting the goods, but not the
revenue. Mr.. Underwoods theory was
all right from the Democratic view
point, and so was Darius Green:

Adjournment is looking farther of
than ever and, il the Democratic lead
ers in Congress are TO be believed, it
is the fault OF President Wilson.
Where it looked week or two ago
as il the present session might end
near the first Of July. it now appears as
though it would be nearer the
first OF October. Men high in the
councils Of the Democratic party, state
that President Wilson is SO insistent
for certain legislation, that notwith'
standing the fact that he has been told
tina, it will take until fall to pass it,
that he will not yield and let his pet
measures 20 over until next winter.
II is even being stated that he bobS
up every lew days with something
new he desires. The fact that Cong
ress has been practically marking
time since December lst, is now said
to be largely due to the fact that with
the constantly changing mind Of the
President, his party leaders have beer
obliged 10 sit around and wait anC
see just what he really wants.
Another straw vote has been takel
this time in New York by newspape
and the dwindling strength Of Wilsol
from that OF four years ago is agaii
shown. Twenty nine men are record
ed for Wilson this year, whereas,
the 320 who made reply, no less tha
seventy.seven confess TO having SUP
i ported him in.

Heard at the National Capitol

Senator John w. Kern and his col
league OF recent appointment, Senator
Tom" Taggart, and Representative
John A. NJ. Adair, who is the Demo
cratic candidate for governor OF Indiana
at the coming election, have recently
been in Indiana, where they attended
the state convention oi their party
All three are candidates for reelection
the choice of two senators being due
to the recent death Of Senator Shlvely.
1t was not a happy trio that set out, or
which returned. 1t is stated that they
realize that the voters OF Indiana have
had enough Of Democracy and that all
are extremely anxious over the stu
alton. The positive indications that
Indiana is to return to the Republican
column has not only given these can
didates, but also the Democratic mem
bers of Congress from that state, a
political chill.
II confess am somewhat surprised
to see some Of our New England com
mercisl bodies endorsing the so-called
Rainey tariff commission bill, which
lis the administration measure" said
Congressman c. A. Sulloway OF New
Hampshire. They baye failed to
realize what it means. A tariff com
mission appointed by President Wilson
along Democratic lines, means moth
ing to protection, because the De
mocratic party does not believe in pro-
tecting American industries. What
the Wilson tariff commission will stand
for is a tariff for revenue only. This
tariff commission will not attempt tc
foster, protect or develop American in
dustry, but will expend its time and
energy to produce a tariff that viii
raise a certain amount Of revenue, re-
gardless of what happens TO industry.
From gossip that is prevalent here
this commission is to be headed by Z
college professor, who is long on theory
and short on practice. Unless tarif
commission is named which believes
protection, it can be but little les
than a farce so far as industry and pros
periiy are concerned.

Anyhow, She Didn't Say Rough

Sometimes there's run on a certain word as there are runs on banks. At present "tweeds'' is one of these. II you're a writing person, be sure to dress your hero in them. At any rate, toss the word in once in a While, Just to show that you know all about that sort of thing and are con- Vcrsant with the kind of men who wear tWeeds instead of mere clothes See how niftily Katharine Fullerton Gerould turns the trick She hap pens to be writing of Honolulu in a -1Onthly magazines:
 The business man of Honolulu dresses as the business man in New ork dresses--tweeds, starched neck gear, and all.7
 This might get by were 1t not for the fact that just the person who doesn't wear tWeeds is the New York business man, not once in five hum dred cases. And still less do the folks i'll the balmy city of flowers. You can see slathers of soldiers in khaki, and some Chinaman in Tapping cotton trousers, and no end of Hawaiians, Japanese, and Am mericans-including many "bUsiness men''-in cool Palm Beach cloth" and linen and flannel, and even in serge, cheviot and wor- sted. But "tweeds"-never! Why, if a man in tweeds should pass along the sun-drenched streets of Hawaii, sculptured King Kamehameha would turn upon his pedestal to see.

A Negro Colony.
(From the Christian Herald. )

A committee representing 800 negroes of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Wash ington and some southern cities who have organized the Peoples Civic league, is negotiating with the Santa Fe railroad for the purchase of 10000 acres in western Kansas, on which to establish a farming colony, which is to be exclusively negro. Only negroes now farming or those in cities who wish to farm will be admitted to the colony. The deeds to the land will prevent, in perpetuity, it's resale to a white man and the charter of the colony will provide that only negroes snail hold office. Negro teachers will direct the aim of the young idea in the colony Churches will be given ten acres apiece as sites, but only one church of any denomination is to be admitted. Kansas now has a similar colony established twenty years ago. in Graham county. It is a prosperous, law biding community.

TRIES TO QUIET
BABY, STILES
IT TO DEATH
Says She Feared Others Would
Hear 1t and Learn of Her
Disgrace.

NEW YORK, April 21.-There has
been nothing but trouble for Bertha
Lays since the baby arrived. Bertha.
who was 20 when the baby came on
October 20 last, was living with her
parents In Brooklyn. according to the
story she told Magistrate Mcguire in
police court the other day.
Then her parents sent her out in
the world TO hide the disgrace" she
said. Bertha had never worked. and
she had no money. But she faced the
situation as best she could, and with
her child In her arms set out to seek
life anew.
No Employer Wanted Her.
But the baby was handicap. No
one wanted to employ girl with a
baby in her arms. She got n fur
nished room, she said, and hid the
baby away, and the next day she
found job In shirtwalst factory
In WILLIAMSBURG Bertha didn't dare
let any one know about the baby.
Every morning, when she went to
work, she tucked 1t away in little
crib she had contrived, fearing all the
while that 1t would cry and she would
be found out.
Then. on the night of January 3,
she said, the child cried loud and long.
She tried to comfort 1t. but she hadn't
had much experience with babies.
Nothing she did seemed to relieve
the infant. Finally, in her despera-

would hear the cries, Bertha covered
the baby's head with clothing to stine
Its cries. At last 1t was still, and
Bertha took away the clothes. Then
she found the baby was dead.
Haunted by Fear Of Discovery.
For a week she watched over the
little corpse every night, and in the
daytime she hid 1t away in bureau
drawer and went to her work in the
shirtwaist factory. She was always
haunted by the fear that some one
would open the drawer and find the
baby. AT last she couldn't stand the
fear any longer, she said. and so she
moved to another room! She carried
the body Of the child along with her
in suitcase, and when she went to
work the next day she hid the suit
case under the bed.
But the landlady. Mrs. Crones, be-
came suspicious that all was not well
in Bertha's room. and she called in
the police. The found the baby's body
in the suit case and then they arrested
Bertha for murder.
