WASHINGTON, Dec, 2O.-Hopes Of
emergency tariff legislation to benefit
the farmers at this session Of Congress
went glimmering to-day The Senate
Democratic Steering Committee. after
q conference over the House tariff bill
decided that the bill should be referred
to The Finance Committee and be con
sidered in The regular way by the full
membership.
Significance of this decision is nore
serious Tor emergency tariff Legislation
than appears on the surface. 1t prob.
ably means that no such legislation car
be passed at the short session OF Con.
grcss, ending March d.
While Senator Simmons. ranking
Democratic Senator on the Finance
Committee, and other prominent Demo

would be any flbustcr to prevent 8

Others Of the Steering Committed
talked in like strain.

Republican leaders in the Senate said
this afternoon that the Democratic
Steering Committees decision would
result in blocking all tariff legislation

added that the only legislation which
the farmers would get in way Of emer-
gencE seliet action would be the restor-
alton Of the War Finance Corporation
provided President Wilson did not veto
it As 4 matter of fact. they expect
him TO veto that measure.

Support Of the tariff bill in thS

Overwhelming sectional vote that
forced the passage Saturday Of the bill

The special committee headed by

protected in it, "he kept us out of
peace"
The attitude of the Democratic
leaders in the fall of 1916 seems
strange as you think Owe the his
tory of that period. They knew many
things that the people did no know.
They knew the treachery of the Ger
man government, how it had per-
meated all the United States with
their dirty spies, and was in effect
making war on the United States.
Persons of at least average intelli-
gence. who knew the real inside,
should have known in October 1916,
that the United States was almost
certain to be drawn into the war.
Knowing the real situation, it is
inconceivable how the Democrats
could have tried to win that election
on the basis of hopes that could not
be fulfilled. Instead of holding out
the prospect of peace. the party
leaders should have been getting
ready for war that was inevitable,
and should never have allowed the
country to drift into a frightful strug-
gle wholly unprepared.
Some people say that this has no
bearing On the present contest, since
Mr.. Wilson is not running for Office.
But the winning of an election by a
shallow argument, the falsity of
which was promptly proved, has Gre
otol n Iann faoJ;nr Nf raca-tn,anf II
will lead the people to beware of
promises that can't be fulfilled.

THE CUNNING
EVADER

The American voter Is not deeply
interested In the support Of Candi-
date Cox by the Scripps papers OF in
the exemption from military service
of the Scripps young men.
But the American voter is vitality
interested in knowing the character
of men who seek the Presidency of
the United States; and the Scripps
incident throws some light on the
,ethical inwardness of James NJ.
Cox.
Two years ago. when Mr.. Cox was
running for governor Of Ohio, ii was
charged by the opposition that he
had been largely responsible for the
exemption of one. If not both, of the
sons of rich and influential news
paper owner. Mr.. Scripps. To this
charge Mr.. Cox made the following
reply:
II never spoke or wrote a word to
the President, the secretary of war or
to any draft board asking the exemp-
ton of Mr.. Scripps, any one in his
organization or any n else"
Could anything ring more in ear
nest, more conclusively. than that?
Is ii a wonder that the statement of
Mr.. Cox was accepted as a complete
denial of any part in the Scripps
case?
Mr.. Cox spoke the literal truth. so
far as we are aware, when he de-
clared that he never addressed the
President, the secretary of wal or any
draft board in behalf of Scripps or
any one in his organization. But he
did not tell the people at that time, or
at any other time, that he had written
on behalf of young Scripps a let
ter addressed to Mr.. Earl Martin of
the Scripps organization; a letter
containing such a hearty and power
full plea for the exemption OF Scripps
junior that Mr.. Martin FASTENED to
file 1t in Washington, where it could
have the most effect.
Neither the o~verruling of the local
and district CONSUMPTION boards by
President Wilson after Cox's letter
to Martin was filed with the war de-
partment nor the merits of the ex-
emptions themselves is a matter, as
we have said. which highly concerns
the American people just now.
But what do the people think of
the wonderful e~vassve qualities of
James NJ. Cox as they are reflected in
that cunning denial?

''HE KEPT Us
OFT OF WAR

Among the famous sayings of his
tory, a high place should be given to
the bunk handed out by the Wilson
supporters of 1916, that he should
be reelected. because "he kept US
out OF war" That notorious phrase
elected Woodrow Wilson. and it
plunged this country consequently
into a sea of troubles due TO eXtraya-

Can the Republican party afford
to win on a lie?" is the latest going
the rounds Of the Democrat press in
Nevada, referring to the league of ma
tons. After the Democrats have
noted the vote November 3 they'll
know the Republicans wouldn't take
such a chance, because what the men
and women OF America are going to
do TO the Democrats for their 1916
lie OF He kept us out of war; will be
plenty. If Democrat leaders are of
opinion lightning will strike twice in
the same spot if they can put over
another in "He will keep us out of
war" they are badly mistaken, for a
promise once broken will never again
be accepted as sincere.
