SOME TARIFF FACTS
RECORD OF BOTH GREAT PoLIrI.
CAL PARTIES.
Republican Claim That Downward Re
vision Has Adversely Affected the
country's Industries Shown to
Be Without Foundation.

In the campaign of 1908. both great
parties promised downward revision
of the tariff.
President Taft allowed this pledge to
be broken and signed the Infamous Aid
rich bill-which was revision up
ward, not downward, and some Of
whose schedules he admitted we're in
defensible.
This breach of faith split the Re
publican party and started the lnsur-
gent movement, which eventually be-
came the Progressive party.
In the campaign of 1912, the Demo-
cratic, Progressive and Socialist party
platforms all promised downward tar
liz revision.
These three parties polled 1874. 400
votes. against 3,4S4,958 for Taft and
high tariff. In other words, the vote
In favor Of downward tariff revision
was more than three to one.
The Democratic and Progressive par
ties together polled 10,412,626 votes,
or almost exactly three times as many
as were cast for Taft and high tariff.
Under President Wilson's leadership,
the Democratic party did exactly what
1t had promised to do and what three
quarters of the American electorate
had voted for--it revised the tariff
downward.
There is not the slightest evidence
to show that this downward revision
of the tariff caused hard times in any
degree. Hard times were present when
Wilson was inaugurated. The country
never had recovered from the ROOse-
welt panic of 1907, and the big inter
ests which were fighting tariff revision
and financial reform did all in their
power to keep times hard as means
Of regaining political control. They
succeeded for a while, but they failed
in the end, in spite of the shock caused
by the war; and today the country is
more prosperous and its prosperity is
ON frmer foundation than for more
than dozen years past
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-01-27
Work Cut Out for Wilson.

On all big international issues Mr..
Wilson will find in most instances that
the Republican leaders will stand with
him, but there are other issues which
will necessitate a lengthy and tedious
fight before they can possibly be adju
dictated. International subjects will
logically occupy Mr.. Wilson's time at
the opening of the session to the ex-
clusiOn of almost everything else. He
must take up the submarine PROPOSE
ton. always vexatious, the restriction
of trade on the part of the allies, Brit
aims attitude on the mails, the posi-
billty of peace and of world league
to enforce it when it comes, and he
must deal with Mexico. and it is like
dealing with rat In trap in this in
tance.-Memphis Appeal.

Rural Credits and Prosperity.

1t is believed by experts that an era
of high interest will follow the cessa-
ton of war in Europe, or even appear
before the war ends. Europe will need
money to rehabilitate itself, and will
pay high rates for it. The establish
ment of the rural credit system in the
United States may come just in time
to save the farmers of this country
from financial stress.
The utilization of the farm lands in
the United States up to 80 per cent
of their true value win vitalize every
business In this country. Real estate.
banks, building operations, transporta-
ton facilities and every activity Of
production will expand as a result of
the unshackling of the resources Of the
American farmer.
The year 1917 should be the most
prosperous in the history of the Unit
ed States.

Cotton Imports and Tariff.

Under the Wilson tariff for revenue
only the 1914 imports instantly become
excessive, and many a New Bedford
textile man lost his job and walked the
street because his product was dis
placed by cloth or yarn from Europe
Winthrop l.. Marvin Of the Home Mar
ket club, in a letter to the World.
From the time of the enactment of
the Wilson tariff up to the outbreak
of the European war there was neither
an Instant nor an excessive jump in
imports Of cottOns. There was an ac-
tuaI decline in imports of the finer
cotton goods In which New Bedford
specializes, and practically no increase
at all from 1912 In imports Of all cot
ton manufactures.

|: KENTUCK|AN
FOR 1917

The Kentuckian on Jan. l, 1917, rounds out it's
18th year. Under normal conditions the year 1916
" uld have been year of unusual prosperity but
as the public is aware the exorbitant and unprece-
dent price charged for News Print Paper cut a
Leep hole in the profits of all newspapers and many
unable to stand losses were put out of business.
The Kentuckian enters the new year with print
paper that cost S54 ton at this time last year now
costing about $40 for the same amount of paper
not as good. How long these conditions will con-
tinue cannot be foretold.
Many newspapers have advanced rates but in
order that the circulation may not be lessened by
higher price Kentuckan i'll still be sent for
$500 a year, the old price. 1t will be necessary
though to adhere rigdly to the cash system, since
more than S1.00 must be paid in advance for the
paper upon which we print 156 papers and the cost
of printing leaves but little profit out of the second
dollar. We are asking our old subscribers to stand
by US in this crisis by renewing promptly. Adver-
tisers will also be asked to pay slightly higher
rate for space which is all newspaper has to sell
outside of it's subscriptions. We trust the adver-
Using public will see the reasonableness of this
step.
All papers not paid for will be Stopped Don't
Let Yours Stop
The Price VIII be the same as heretofore,

An experienced commercial secre-
tary makes a short cut to the
solution of the difficulties that stand
in the. pathway of the work of his
community, and even if he is unable
to reach the solution or accomplish
it, he at least quickly arrives at
sound conclusions. 1t is so for it
is his business to fathom these pro-
blems. While his associates and the
men who make up the club member
ship are busy with their own affairs
and give less thought to these pro-
plems until they are brought to
their notice, the executive secre-
tnry makes them constant study.
That is why we are SO frank and
blunt and plain in presenting these
questions, Offering solutions and
urging the membership and citizen
ship to cooperate and respond
quickly.

Let us give one humble illustration
of what is the matter with Wash
burn. Washburn will not eat her
own bread. The housewives would,
if they could obtain this homemade
product from their regular grocers--
but the grocers refuse to handle the
bakery products of two good, first
class home bakery plants. These
retailers who make heap of noise
about the women of Washburn going
across the Bay to buy goods which
is dead wrong of course will not
put on their shelves the product OF
Washburn's two home bakeries. Now
a city that will not eat her own
bread, cannot hope to attain much
commercial and industrial success.
There is something wrong. Patronize
home industries first, always. That
is but one instance of great many.
We should have wholesale grocery
and keep that money at home and in
the local banks.

WHEN the three Chequamegon
Bay cities--Washburn, Ashland and
Bayfield, begin pulling together--re-
suits can be expected. This was
demonstrated this week when repre-
sentatives of the three cities appeared
before the Wisconsin Railway COM
mission asking that the Omaha COM
pany be compelled to furnish better
rail service, between Ashland ,
Washburn and Bayfield,.
The Omaha company put into
effect less than a week ago about as
rotten train service as was ever
handed out to three promising cities
and it did not take the Commercial
Clubs of these places long to enter
their protest in such strong man.
ner that hearing before the Wis
consin Commission was scheduled
and held on Tuesday of this week.
The three cities had kick COM
ing and they presented their case in
snch an able manner that new train
service began on the Omaha line
this morning.
1t has demonstrated that when
these three cities pull together on a
big project results can be accom-
plished. In some instances even
cities, located as are the three or
Chequamegon, must forget their
differences and pull together for the
good of all.

STREET CROWDS IN MOVIES.
Strategy Used to Keep People From
Spoilinq the Effect.


Street crowds are VIGOROUSLY diff
cult to handle for the movies. They
will never do what you want, and even
when you are sneaking them there is
always some smart Aleck in the fore
ground who insists upon looking into
the camera and cracking his foolish
face.
On one occasion Donlon wished to
get close up picture Of crowd look
ing skyward. 1t was to be used as a
cut-in for an aeroplane story. To hire
a lot Of extras might have cost a cou-
pie Of thousand dollars, so he took
chance of getting what he wanted with
out paying for it. Knowing the psy-
chology Of crowds, DonlOn took three
cameras downtown, where he set one
on the sidewalk for the purpose Of TAX
ing a closeup profile of the crowd he
was to assemble, one in a second story
window, shooting straight into the peo-
pies faces, and one on top Of the build
ing, also shooting down.
When all was ready DOnlon stood in
the middle of the street with mega
phone and began to call directions to
one Ben, wlO stood on top Of the build
ing. The crowd assembled immediate
ly and, seeing the cameras, began, as
usual, to rubber right into them. Then
DOnlOn called out:
"Is Ben ready to Jump"
And Ben called back: "Just min
ute. Ed. I'm a bit nervous. Wait till
that yellow car gets by. I think I'll
try for the top Of that big Pasadena
car. It's wider"
Back and forth they called excited
warnings and directions, and the
crowd was right on tiptoes. They
didn't know what was going to happen.
but it promised excitement. All this
time the camera men clicked that fool
crowd into celluloid immortality.-Roh

COMFORT IN THE HOME.
A Mans Notion of How the Rooms and
THINGS Should Look.

A young newly married man COM
planned recently that he almost dreades
ed taking a friend home to dinner be-
cause his wife, every time she expected
company, imagined it was necessary to
scrub the house from garnet to cellar
and polish every bit Of silver ON the
sideboard
1t made him uncomfortable all day
long to think Of his wife giving herself
this wholly unnecessary trouble.
"Of course, man likes to see his
home looking nice when he takes an
old chum into it-and of course the
chum does too" he said. But I'd be
far happier if could convince my wife
that house can look tidy even if it
hasn't been gone over that very day.
II like the books to look little dis
orderly. You get the feeling that
they're being read all the time, and
that's what books are for. And like
the music on the piano to be trif1e
disarranged. 1t looks as if we really
sang the songs, and it gives a room
that cozy home feeling that fellow
loves. What If the curtains aren't just
even in every window? Things ought
to look as if they were touched and
were used and enjoyed. If the sofa
cushions are dented you know some
one has leaned against them. Isn't that
what. they're for? But il they stare al
you in a prim row you're a brave man
if you dare to put your back against
them-much less your tired head!
'And when fellow comes home al
night he usually has d tired head"-
