Judge E. H. Gary, head of the
United States Steel Company,
, celebrates the coming Of the new
year by issuing an address to the
American people upon the state
Of their affairs.
A perusal.ot Judge Gary's do .
umeut indicates that he has de
voted some time and study to
Washlngton's memorable address
to the American people. The
head of the Steel Company speaks
from equally as lofty height He
warns the American people againsl
"extravsgapce. incidence, waste,
indifference and stupidity" He
instructs them in regard to the
grave errors they have committed
in lowering the tariff aud in franz
ing the income tax. He assures
the investor in Steel common that
things are we'll with him, but he
lrus bis country as a whole tha'
walk warily to continue
his approval.
Ssry Is a &aa Of aabbiilliittss
but, like many others. he does not
seem to be able to grasp the fact
that we had a little election in
this county few weeks ago
The American people elected
Wood row Wilson as their chiee
executive and adviser. Judge
Gary, we believe, supported Mr..
Hughes. He had right so to do.
but the people preferred the other
man. Therefore, in matters per-
tanning TO the income tax and the
tariff no reason exists 10 cause it
to be believed that Mr. Gary's
advice will have more effect than
that of the President Post.
