Our Duty to Our Own People

When peace returns there will be
a world struggle for raw materials
Germany, England and France will
scour the world for raw materials to
supply their industries. The United
States is now near the head of the list
in the supply of cotton, petroleum,
wool, iron ore and copper and many
other things. Why permit other ma
tons to take our raw material, trans
form them into finished products and
sell them back again to US? Let US
do our own transforming, employ our
own labor and find our own markets
at home first, then abroad. Protect
all American industries and encour-
age them to be independent of all ma
tons, as to capital, labor and raw ma
terial. We now make dyes as good
as Germany. After the war, Protect
the industry.
Withdrawal of millions of men
from the field of production has
made and will make a scarcity of
food. It is suggested by the Free
Traders that America join a league
of nations to divide the food among
all where it is needed. But is it not
our duty first to our own people? Pro-
lection in a broad sense, means care
for and defense of, our own first. 1t
is cardinal principle of national
hfe.-American Economist.

Industry After the War


But for the fact that American in
dustry is so busy getting the country
ready to go to war, we could keep
every wheel turning producing some
ting for export, and perhaps we might
make business alliances that would
prove of lasting good all over the
world. But our first and foremost
desire and duty is to amply supply
home consumers, and then South
America, and afterward as much of
the rest of the world as conditions
warrant.
The Free-Traders are booming
Canada and Mexico as excellent fields
for trading, advocating against To-
calizing American industry. This
seems to be the line adopted for af-
the low Tariff interests, presumably
to afford free hand for foreign
manufacturers to use the United
States as dumping ground. But
the motive is also thinly yelled that it
rs easily barred, and our industrial
captains are much denser than we
credit them if they fall for such bun
comb.
Right here in our own big United
States we have a business of S25,-
000,0O0,000 annually in normal
SiAAACO1 4SlSG Will 11l GLIO
world at war, we did an export bust
ness of 3,60O,00O,00O of which sew
enty per cent. was war business and
not worth copper in times of peace.
American industry after the war
should first supply America and then
seek other outlets. To do this and
maintain a high wage, Tariff Protec-
ton is absolutely necessary. Eng
land, France and Germany will neces-
sarily put heavy tax on imports in
to those countries, and it would be
fine indeed, for them to dump here
under Free-Trade and get a few bill
lion extra dollars to help pay the cost
of the war.
From the way we are spending
money now it looks as if we would
have some troubles of our own, but
We have the great advantage of hav-
ing the most prosperous nation on
earth with our industries carrying
peak loads and labor paid top prices.

Court Holds Paper Liable for Adver-
Using Contained

Newspapers can be held account
able in the courts for the contents of
the advertisements they carry. Pub
fishers assume all risks in PERMITTING
to be published advertisements con-
tanning attacks against a candidate
for Office, or against any other per-
son, when false and damaging, al
though paid for as advertising and
signed by various individuals.
This was the decision given recent
ly by the supreme court of the state
Washington in remanding for rtial in
in the superior court an action
brought against the Aberdeen,
(Wash.) World, by n. D. McKillip,
who was a candidate for reelection
as county superintendent in a recent
election. The suit was dismissed in
the lower court and McKillip ap-
pealed.
McKillip's chief opponent for the
Office to which he aspired was one 7.
W. Bibb- The advertisement he
complained of accused McKilIip of
waging a campaign of Islander and
lies" against Bib and was signed
with sixty names McKillip was de-
feated for Office and later sued the
paper for damages to his character
and feelings.
The supreme court holds the ar
ticle ibelous if sustained by evidence
and as not privileged because of be-
ing published as an advertisement
and at the instance of others.

A Protest

The Kansas City Star has often
given Hays City good notices. The
Topeka Capital and Journal have Civ
en- Hays City many notices that
have done the city much good letting
the outside world know what is going
on here. The Salina Journal, owned
and published by J. L Bristow for
years, has published every article
sent to it about Hays,-the Golden
Belt, the Round Up, the Normal
School; any doings In this city has
had its articles, even to over a col
umn lenghth keeping Hays and its
dolngs, before the public and on the
map. Every line printed has cost
the owner something for setting type,
Tor space and for the paper used; vet
the owner of that paper, Joseph L.
Brlstow, who has been a United
States Senator, in public position for
years, and now again a candidate for
United States Senator on the Repub-
ican ticket, visited this city last
Saturday evening, but at the request
OF some Hays people, Mr.. Brsitow
was asked not to try to speak in
Hays 1t seems hardly possible that
my American citizen should not be
allowed to talk in Hays, putting the
town back in frontier days, when
the cowboy and baudy women ruled
the town. If Mr.. Bristow returns the
compliment and orders the Salina
Journal not to allow the words fEHays
City" at any time to appear In that
paper, maybe our city that is trying
to push ahead, will know where to Law
the blame, and pull their hair for
their short sightedness- To most
people 1t looked like little potatoes.

Each customer converted to the
electrical method means just so much
coal saved. If every householder of
moderate means were to recognize
the facts given above, and cook cleo
trically, 1t would result in an average
annual saving Of over three tons per
family.
Add TO this argument your perso-
nal experience and opinion of electric
cooking; its cleanliness, safety and
reliability and a successful campaign
Is inevitable

Cooking a prominent factor IN the

BristOw Blames Politicians; The EIe-
ments Also

Hays, Kas., April 21.-Joseph l..
Bristow5 candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for United States
Senator, issued a statement here to-
night, declaraing that political oppo-
nents were responsible for denying
him the use of hall in Ellsworth and
that a hard rain prevented a street
meeting. Mr.. Bristow did not speak
here, as had been scheduled.
Mr.. BristoW's statement says:
Some political opponents at Ellis
worth prevented my friends from OBJ
tanning a hall for me in the after
noon. A hard rain prevented me
from speaking in the street, as was
the intention 1t Is not the first time
that such tricks have been tried in my
political contests in Kansas The
rain, not the political opponents, pre-
vented my speaking. Up to this time
l have made twenty-four speeches in
this campaign I intend ITO make
hundreds of others. l hope that all
the people may have an opportunity
to hear what 1 have to say, and judge
me by the justice, truthfulness, and
patriotism of my remarks. The man
who objects to the people knowing

HANGING ICE MAY PROVE DANGEROUS
 UNLESS REMOVED

The danger that might come to people who get in the path of falling walks was illustrated recently at the rear of the Bergman Hotel. A huge mass of ice, the product of several days thawing, and freezing, fell with such force from the roof of the ho- tel that it went clear through the roof of the stable in the rear.
 Luckily no horses were in the barn at the time or more serious damage would have resulted. It behooves folks to look up and out when they pass places where the ice is massed
