THE WORLD ON HARDINc'S ELEc.
TON

The American people wanted a
change, and they have voted for u
| change.
They did not know what kind of
change they wanted, and they do not
know today what kind of change they
| have voted for. All of the restless
ness and discomfort bred of the war
has finally found expression in the
ballot box. and the result is Warren
G. Harding.
Mr.. Harding is a well-meaning,
amiable man who has shown during
the campaign no understanding what
ever of any of the real problems of
peace and reconstruction. His politiS
cal career has been without distinc-
ton of any kind whatsoever. He has
been simply a republican politician of
answering regularity who has taken
up any policy agreed to by the party
leaders and supported it with fidelity
and such ability as he could COM
mand. Whenever there has been a
division in the party councils he has
followed the line of least resistance
with a marked preference for extreme
conservatism.
The day he was nominated for pres.
ident he was the choice of the renub.
licans OF no state in the Union. Even
in Ohio the republican voters had III.
vided at the primaries and he was I'M.
able to obtain a united delepatio,
from his own state. Had tho orast;,,,
OF MS nomination been submitted IN
the rank and file of the party tbronph-
out the country it may be doubted -
ne would have received 400 ooO voto,
out of 100000 Yet in spite of tbis
pitlful lack of popular support he wa.
named for president by the republican
bosses and he has been elected nra.,
aent because he was the republican
candidate.
Nominally, therefore, Mr.. Hardins

| Permit me to make few citations
Sweet potatoes formerly were drag
on the market at 90 cents per bushel;
they now command a price from 40
| to 60 cents per peck.
A farmer recently told me that he
disposed of his entire crop, shipping
TO an Atlanta firm, and received net

Cane strip formerly sold for 40
cents per gallon; it is now more than
that much per quart.
The price of eggs, butter. fowls, and
meats of all kinds bear about the same
proportion as to prices
Choice cuts of steak are beyond the
pocket-book of the average consumer.
1t has not been long since that | met
a farmer who was wearing a new pair
of shoes. On being asked if the price

he replied. Il just sold COW hide for
more than formerly got for cow, hide

goods, if one pleases.
| am wearing an ordinary suit of
clothes that pulled me for $50 that in
former years would hardly have sold
for $25. A So hat now depletes ones

Do we want the government to come
to the further aid of these manufac-
turing profiteers?
A protective tariff means simply a
tax to permit profiteering.
In its last analysis it is a scheme
to rob Peter to enrich Paul
In our government every tub should
be made to stand on its own bottom.
Equal rights for all; special privi-
leges to none, it seems to me is the
correct theory.

Why" it asks, further embarrasS
the federal government by the added
complication of another Pacific state
running amuck.'
This agitation against the japanese
threatens to plunge us into a wal
with Japan.
Judge Thomas Burke says there IS
dynamite in the japanese situation
He is one OF the most prominent and
most conservative citizens of Seattle
We quote the following from his
pen:
what cause have the Japanese
given for the Incorporate and furious
agitation carried on against them in
California?
Are they disloyal TO the govern
ment? No.
DO they break the laws OF the
state or country? no.
"Are they lazy, shiftless or vicious?
No
Are they dissolute or Incorporate?
No.
Are they disordeiy, quarrelsome or
turbulent? No.
Are they unable or unwilling TO
earn living for themselves or their
families and thereby become charge
upon the city, county or state? No.
They have done us no wrong. They
obey our laws. They live quiet, decent
and orderly lives. They have never
failed in their duty to their neighbor-
hood, to city, state or country. Dur
ing the German war they were loyal
to America. They contributed liberal
ly to every call of the Red Cross and
subscribed to every liberty loan fully
in proportion to their means. They
are intelligent, industrious and thrifty.
In short in all the qualities that go
to make good and useful citizens and
good neighbors the Japanese will COM
pare favorably with the people of any
other nationality.
These people came from a country
which the United States two genera
tons ago by earnest solicitation drew
from seclusion in which the people
were leading contented and happy
lives in their own way, molesting no
other people and themselves happy
and contented.'
Suppose that we, who are called
"bigoted and benighted,' were to deny
the negroes in our midst the right of
the ballot and in addition deny him
the right to the ownership or the leas-
ing of lands, what might we not be
called by the Cedar Rapids Times and
the Holmes of that section.

WHY A PROTECTIVE TARIFF?
Recent Sales of Fruit and Groves
Cited as lllustrations-Permit to
Profiteers
Ocala, Fla, October 81, 1920.

OCdld, Fla, OCTOBER Il, lSZU.
Editor Miami Daily Herald:
In the issue of the Metropolis of DC
tober &c find an article from Mr.. VIM
Roger, citrus grower. who contends
that the east coast grower needs a
protective tariff, and yet in the same
issue of your paper you state that the
Flagler grove of 20 acres has just
been sold for $4,000.
With such prices prevailing it does
not occur to the average consumer
that a protective tariff is needed.
Mr.. John M. Cheney, of Orlando,
who is ambitious TO succeed Hon. Dun
can u. Fletcher in the United States
senate. is also going over the state
with the same siren note that the re-
nublican party must be put in control
of the government in order to have
a protective tariff. Like Mr.. Roger, he
said that the orange growers of Flor
ida needed protective tariff, and yet
while he was speaking an orange
grove was sold in the vicinity of his
home for $4,000 per acre.
1t seems to me that that is price
enough
Last season some of the growers in
this county got as much as $1,000 per
crate for their oranges.
A high protective tariff necessary !?
At no time within the history of this
government have farm and horticul.
