DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION

Thousands of unsorted checks, paid
to soldiers as compensation, have been
found in a room in the treasury de-
partment, where they were stored af-
ter cancellation and payment. This
legacy from a former administration
will act as a further delay in the set
tlement of the claims of many veter-
ans. The law requires that every claim
must be accompanied by all the papers
in the case, which means that these
checks must be sorted and attached to
the other documents relating to the
same claimant. 1t is estimated it
will take four months to straighten
out the tangle left by the democrats.

FREEDOM OF ACTION.

The London Times takes an opti-
mistic view of the treaty between Ger
many and the United States, but says
the allies should not be left "to do
the drudgery Of execution of peace"
Quite likely the United States will
help, as it has helped ever since the
aTmistice, but everything done by the
United States will be of its own free
choice. The dominant note of the
peace treaty is that the United States
retains complete freedom of action
from the league Of nations or any
other foreign influence. 1t is believ-
ed that we may have representatives
on the various commissions created
by the Versailles pact.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

by 1922 ,462, 622. In Cleveland's in
augural address of 1899 e declared
he was going to have the tariff re-
duced, and the New York CONNER
cial Bulletin, free trade paper, COM
menting on the address said, s"labor
may be expected to yield its quota of
concessions. Those who have taught
working men tha a reduction of the
tariff does not mean a relative reduc-
tion of wages have adulterated a
great reform with very paradoxical
doctrine" Wholesale and jobbing mer-
chants Immediately ceased buying
American goods and made ready to
buy European goods. This closed the
Amrican miPs and threw labor out of
employment. The effect of the Will
son-Gorman bill which was passed the
following year is one to which the
democrats do not care to refer. It
turned the country over to the repub-
licans in 1897.
The republicans have always con-
tended for a tariff which would meas
ure the difference in cost of produc-
tion at home and abroad, the bulk Of
that cost going to labor and designed
to maintain the American standards
Of living. The American Federation
of Labor endorsed that stand at its
Buffalo convention only two or three
years ago and the fedration has pref
ty good ideas of what is desired by
its members. AS for the farmers, the
first thing the republicans did on
coming into power in 1921 was to
pass the emergency tariff law, farm
protective measure pure and simple.
And that bill had the support of the
southern farmer as well as of the
northern and western. The Under
wo6od law placed farm products on
the free list.
Prosperity under the democratic
administration was fertilized with the
blood of European millions and the
less said about it the better. A panic
was on in 1914 when the great war
broke out, and a great many men are
idle today as an aftermath of demo
cratic legislation.

ANSWERING OLD STUFF.

Washington, Sept. IA syndicated
editorial recently made its appearance
in some of the democratic papers of
Pennsylvania declaring sit has al
ways been the cry of the republican
party during political campaigns that
the great financial panics of the coun-
try came under low tariff bills" and
holding the reverse to be true, ''the
great panics Of 1873 and 1893 came
on the country when republican tariff
bills were the law of the land" The
editorial charges that "the republican
party believes in a tariff for capital
only. The Democratic party lays
tariff burden justly and equitable dis
tributed and falling lightly on the
shoulders of the people, while the
Republican party lays a burden of
taxation heavily on the shoulders of
labor and agriculture and gives the
bounty so raised into the pockets of
the favored manufactures" There is
considerable more gibberish to the
same effect, closing with the admon-
ition that the farmer and the labor
ing man should never forget that the
greatest prosperity which they ever
enjoyed was under a Democratic adj
ministration, and that the law under
which this prosperity came was a
low tariff Democratic law drawn by
that illustrious statesman of the
South, Oscar Underwood" Were it
not for the reference to the Under
wood law, one would think the edi-
tOrial was written in the days Of the
Wilson--Gorman tariff law.
The reference to the panice Of 1873
and 1898 are unfortunate for the con-
tention Of this free trade editorialist.
In tue first place a tariff law went
into effect August /, 1872. which made
a general reduceian Of 10 per cent
and greatly enlarged the free list
This was at a time when we had
not recovered from the effects Of the

were on a paper money basis with

1875, the 10 per cent reduction was
repealed and in 1879 we returned to
specie payments. In the meantime oul

"The American people believe in a
square deal, and always have. Where
there is lack of full information, the
people may act unwisely, but that is
no fault of theirs. The wisest man
who ever lived would make mistakes
if compelled to act without full knowl-
edge of facts. But give the people of
the United States a fairly good un-
derstanding of the issues involved and
the facts on both sides, and they will
reach conclusion as sound and as
fair as would be reached by a COM
mission composed of selected men
who, very likely, would be influenced
by prejudices which do not actuate the
average citizen.
Our assertion that the people can
be trusted to decide fairly a question
submitted to the forum of public opin-
ion is not a mere ipse divit, nor an
attempt to flatter the average citizen.
There has been demonstration which
justifies the confidence we have ex-
pressed. A few years ago there was
enacted in Missouri what was known
as the "full crew" law-an act sup
posed to be in the interest of railway
workmen and against the interest of
railway owners. 1t provided for the
employment of not less than a certain
number of men on a railway train
the number varying with the length
and character of the train. The rail
way owners asserted that the number
required by the law was unnecessary
ThS -spokesmen of the railway work.
ers got the law through, nevertheless
and it was submitted to a vote of the
people under the referendum.
The railway managers were scared
They thought the people would lool
at it that way. Just what their >lint
of reasoning was, no one can tell, but
the "full crew" bill was overwhelm
ingly defeated by popular vote
Probably some voters opposed i
because they thought it unfair to the
railroads. Others opposed it becaus,
they figured that ultimately the in
creased cost Of operating the roads
would be passed on to the shippers
to which class they belonged. Blu
whatever the line of reasoning, tn,
bill, generally agreed by well-inform
ed men to be unwise, was defeated
by the people. Which shows that then
some eight or ten years ago, the vot
ers of Missouri would be trusted
and the census reports do not indi
cate that Missouri is any more intel
ligent than the average American
state.

the Ango Japanese alliance" He decl-
ares that because Japan faithfully |
adhered to the alliance during the war
Great Britain cannot now refuse the
Japanese request for its renewal: He
says that had it ont been for the
fact that Japanese ships chased Ger
man raiders in the Pacific, Austral-
ian and New Zealand troops could
not have been transported to the fight
ting front in the 9arly days of the
war.
"It is very instructive to learn from
the British premier at this time of
the valiant services performed on the
seas by the Japanese navy. 1t is a
historical fact that the notorious Ger
man raider Emden, that did so much
damage in the Pacific was cornered
and sunk by an Australian warship.
1t is also a fact that the German
raiding squadron under Admiral Won
Spec was attacked off the coast of
Shili by a British force of inferior
strength and came off victorious, only
to meet another British squadron at
the Falkland Islands and suffer dest-
ructiOn. 1t may be that the existance
of Japenese navy had a psycholog-
ical effect on the German Pacific
raiders, but history is silent on any
blows struck by the japanese in rid
ding theseas of those pests.
"If Mr.. Lloyd George is so solicit
GUS about aid renered by the Janpan-
ese to the allied cause why does he not
give some consideration to what
America contributed to the success of
the war? If the renewal of the Anglo
Japanese alliance is to be granted be-
cause Japan helped the allies, is it
not as reasonable for the United
States to favor dissolution of that
alliance because of what the United
Staes did in. France?
"Mr. Lloyd George attempts to
reassure US by saying that the rem
} ewaal does not mean that we are to
, continue an alliance Of this kind on
any point against anyone else, and
J certainly not against the United Stat
es. Of course not Nobody suspects
Great Britain of scheming with Jap

THE PEOPLE AND REFERENDUM

''Has the time arrived when it is
safe for a railway to rely upon the
goodness Of its cause in the forum of

Times, which is democratic in it's poll
tics but not so democratic in it's ideals.
The answer to the question is easy.

The Opening of a Lily.

The comparatively rare instances in which the motions of plants, such ss the opening of buds into blossoms, occur during a single brief period of watching, always give much pleasure to the onloOker.
 An English botanist, who has spent much time in India, tells of a species of lily, Crinum augustum, which in an Indian garden opens with uncommon swiftness. Just after a shower ef rain in the evening he saw the pink striped buds of one of these lilies, each about four inches long, on the point of opening. Passing the plant shortly afterward, he was surprised to find the blossoms wide open, and in 20 minutes more the petals had curved themselves backward like rams horns In an hour the points of the petals had swept over an arc of at least eight or nine inches.

WHEN FIRE SWEEPS PRAIRIE
Man and Beast Suffer Alike Under Clustering Heat, and the Prayer
 for Rain Goes Up.

Hot sunlight, winds as hot, as shimmerlng heat which distorted ob- jects at a distance and made the sky line a dazzling, wavering ribbon of faded blue; and then the dull haze of smoke which hung over the land, and, without tempering the heat, turned the sun into a huge coppery balloon which drifted imperceptbly from the east to the west. and at evening time settled softly down upon a parched hilltop and disappeared, leaving be- hind 1t an ominous red glow as of hidden fires, B. M. Bower writes in Lonesome Land"
 When the wind blew, the touch of it scared the face, as the smoke tang as- sailed the nostrils. All the world was a weird, unnatural tint, hard to name, never to be forgotten. The far hori- zon drew steadily closer as the days passed slowly and thickened the veil of smoke. The distant mountain drew daily back into dinner distance; be- came an obscure formless blot against the sky and vanished completely. The uOLlHOI NLOuNhSu hpoh across the river, moved up to the line of trees along It's banks, plotted them out one day and impudently estab- lished itself halfway up the cOulee.
 Time ceased to be measured accur- ately; events moved slowly in an un- real world of sultry heat and smoke and a red sun wading heavily through the copper-brown sky from the east to the west, and a moon as red which followed meekly after.
 Men rode uneasily here and there, and when they met they talked of prairie fires and fire guards and the direction Of the wind. and of the faint prospect of rain. Cattle. driven from their accustomed feeding grounds, wandered aimlessly over the still-un- burned range and lowed often in the night as they drlfted before the flame heated wind.
