FIGHT THE COMMON ENEMY

EOfzl NE OOmk1ON ENEm
Owing to the war with the common
eney, a protocol has been agreed up
on between the Democrats and Repub-
Leans of Russell county. At this
time the county officers are about
equally divided between the two par
ties and it was hotught best to permit
the Democrats to retain the offices
now held by them and the Republi-
cans to retain hose held by that par
ty. During the coming year we need
every particle of energy We can mus
ter in order to win the war and it was
thought best to elininae any political
campaign this fall. There VIII like
ly be two or more candidates for
some of the offices now held by the
Republicans. In this the Democrats
have no interest and that party will
nominate their candidates for the Of
fees now held by them. The Demo
Gratis viii have no contest for the
nominations so far as we have heard.

aluminium Price Fixed by Govern


ment
In a Washington dispatch it was
stated that a maximum base price of
33 cents a pound for aluminium in
lots of fifty tons or more of the IN
got, 90 to 80 per cent. grade, was
fixed by President Wilson on May 20,
under an agreement between pro-
ducers and the War Industries
Board.
The new price was effective June I,
and will continue until September l,
Producers of aluminium agreed not to
reduce present wages; to sell their
output to the Government, to the pub
lie and to the allies at the maximum
base price; to keep aluminium out of
spectators hands and to maintain
production to assure an adequate sup
ply for the duration of the war.

Tariff Next in Importance to Winning
of War

The next important matter before
the American people is the Tariff. We
are perfectly safeguarded at she pres
ent time because we have no competi-
tors and no methods of transportation
if there was a chance for competi-
ton, but we have a Free-Trade Tariff
ON our statute books and it is far
more dangerous to this country than
Germany is, because this particular
Tariff has in all the making of inter
nal disorders, perhaps rebellion, once
the great world war ends, as Amer
lean labor is in the saddle and it is
going to be difficult task to unseat
it.
So long as we are Protected from
foreign competition there is nothing
to fear, but once England, France
and Germany return to peaceful pur-
suits, we are going to be the one
country looked to, to furnish the
money in exchange for goods, to re-
habilitate the civilized world. We will
have the money all right, and it rests
with the high paid wage earners in
this country as to whether wage or
labor at a small percentage of the
present wage in competition with Eng
land, France and Germany. Just one
law putting up the bars high enough
to equalize wages will settle the ques-
ton.
