THE WAY IT WORKS

In these days Of economic pressure
and conflicting theories justice re-
quires that all facts procurable bear
ing on a question under consideration
shall be presented. 1t has been stated
that under the new schedule of
freight rates the extra cost OF send
ing pair Of shoes from Boston to
Key West is only 81 cents. In order
that the public shall not draw the in
ference from this statement that the
cost OF pair of shoes will not be in
creased any more than the small ad-
vance in freight tariff named. il is
only fair to explain. says a oontribu-
tor to the New York Times. that "thc
manufacturer who makes that pair OF
shoes will have already paid an in-
creased freight tariff on the leather
which he buys from the tanner; an
increased freight tariff on the cotton
goods that line the show: an increased
tariff on the thread or Irvine used in
sewing the shoe together; an increase ]
tariff on the lumber that goes to make
up the box in which the shoe. with
other shoes is shipped. and if the
manufacturer buys new shoe machin-
cry he has to pay an increased freight
tariff on that before he can install it
In his factory. The same is true il
he builds an addition to his factory
and brings in lumber and brick and
stone with which to build it. All
these are elements that must be
counted in the cost of the shoes. In
short. there are one hundred and one
things which add to the cost of the
goods by reason Of freight increases
before the goods reach the consumer"

cox AND HIS MUSH

Cox's charges of reckless and nm
warranted excessive campaign expen-
ditures by the Republican party has
not fallen flat. No. indeed II is still
alive and kicking. kicking with a
mighty back kick.
STOPPING from the elevated plane
that presidential candidates should
follow. Cox has degraded himself in
freely INDUCING in typical ward po-
litical fight. a mud-slinging, petty,
groundless policy with no foundation.
Sensational as his charges were, they
gave Cox wide publicity. But even
sensations must be bolstered by real
ism and Cox has miserably failed. to
produce the goods TO back up his at
tacks
In the meanwhile. Mr. Harding, in
a digni6ed and becoming role, has
refused to become partner in the dis
graceful policy Cox seems bent on
pursuing. He is studiously devoting
his time to the international and do
nestle problems of the day. his every
utterance marking him for the states
man that he is. His words are given
attention. his voice has a wider and
wider appeal.
In his younger days. Cox published
yellow" newspaper. revelling in
sensationalism and so frequently at
lacking various interests in Dayton
that he was called upon occasionally
to defend libel cases in Ohio's courts.
Although his paper. The Dayton
News. has long ago forsaken that
policy, it becomes increasingly evil
dent that Mr.. Cox still retains the
characteristics which prompted him to
publish it. p
His method of conducting a presi-
dental campaign. if il is typical Of
the Democratic candidate, leave much
to be desired The United States

fairs as he has the presidential race.

Thots of Gums and
Many Other Things
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Lear Mr. Editor: So
We boys have had the worst luck.
The kid found dandy little gun down
at the second hand store for only two
dollars. He talked gun steadily,
chance or no chance, for nearly .
month. One day at dinner dad said,
Take two dollars of your own money
and get that gun quick" That after
noon we killed lot of English spar
rows. We worked like towheads-I
wonder what they are-for a few
days SO we could have Saturday after
noon to 60 frog hunting. We got a
lot of the biggest croakers in Indian
creek. big, green, striped fellows with
legs that looked foot long when
they jumped. Two frying pans full
OF these same legs, Drowned just
right; got US boys up in time for Sum-
day school that Sunday morning
Anyway. the kid can't eat enough At
one meal to last him through till the
next, so he is always ready to eat.
Maybe l am too.
Now, here comes our bad luck:
We were swapping the gun around at
sparrows and everything when it back
fired and nearly put my eye out. II
burned my face pretty badly. We
don't want to shoot the gun ourselves
any more, but dad says we can't take
it back to the second hand store. He
says some one else might lose an eye
and it would be our fault because we
know about the gun. We will bury it
some night at midnight. 1t Is sure
rotten luck. Hundreds Of big, fat
bull frogs sitting around over there

Farmers Will Ask Two Big

CHICAGO, May Recognition for
farmers will be asked of the platform
makers of each of the two great politi-
cal parties at their June conventions
by representatives of the various farm
organizations. This action was de-
cided on to-day at the closing of the
twoday meeting of the National Board

The main points which farmers will

Right of collective bargaining by ag-
r1cultural interests. as set forth in the
pending Capper-Herman bill.
Conservation of forests.
Payment of the war debt through d.
rect taxation on "those best able to
pay" meaning corporations and per-
sons who acquired great wealth during
the war.
Reduction Of the high cost of living
through elimination of the middleman
Legislation against corporations and
individuals acquiring great tracts of
land, as means of reducing farm ten

Federal control of the packing in

Arrangements for more elastic cred

Wants Wet Plank
Democrats Cannot Afford
to Leaue 1t Out, Says
N0tiOnalCOn,n,itteen,ar,
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BUFFALO, May 12.--Norman E. Mack,
publisher of "The Buffalo Times" and
Democratic National Committeeman
from New York, said to-day that while
perhaps the Republicans could afford
to leave wet plank out of their plat
form the Democrats could not afford
to do so,
There is no plank that is SO neces-
sary in the Democratic national plat
form thls year as a real wet plank"
said MIR. Mack "The Democrats Of
New York, so far as | have been able to
discover, want no sidestepping or
cam oufaging about this business They
amendment to the Volstead act that
will make it easy for the plain people
to buy beer and wine.
Il am not now advocating a restora-
tlon of the corner saloon. | doubt if
there is any considerable demand for
that. But on all sides there are mur-
murings from the laboring men that
they want their beer.
at may be that the Republicans can
ignore this demand, because the drvs
are mostly in the Republican party.
But the advocates Of personal liberty
IL the matter of drinking as we'll as
III olHeI lhlHSS, nave become used to
looking to the Democratic party to
fight their battles. They now look
to the Democratic National Conven-
tion to make good on our long pro-
fessed devotion to the principles Of
personal liberty.
II en- firmly Of the opinion that
there is nothing that will give the
Republicans SO much concern and moth
ing that will make the Presidential
race a real battle as much as the adop-
tion by the Democrats of clean-cut
wet plank. l have talked with Repub-
licans and they one and all admit that
if the Democrats give the people what
they want in this respect, the Repub-
licans will be badly split, and perhaps
lose the election"
Mr.. Mack believes that the powerful
states like New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and the New England states, by
standing together, can force the adop-
tion of wet plank against the opposi-
tion led by Colonel Bryan.
