THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

From the Houston Post.
 The Birmingham Age Herald speaks of the rehabilitation of the democratic donkey" Too early for that. The first thing will be for the devilish repub- licans to de-oat him. Then will follow. perhaps, virulent attack of Bryanitis. After that, we propose to put h.m through @ process of recuperation and then move upon the devil and all his repub blican works.

By Shakespeare. Under the greenwood tree
 Who loves to lie with me-
 And turn his merry note
 Unto the sweet birds throat Come hither, come hither, come hitherl Here shall he see
 No enemy But winter and rough weather. Who doth ambition shun
 And loves to live In the sun Seeking the food he eats
 And pleased with what he gets- Come hither, come hither. come hithsr9 Here shall he see
 No enemy Put winter and rough weather.

Fordney Emergency Tariff a Freak

TT1HE Fordney emergency tariff bill N passed the two houses of Con. gress without the approval of either It got the votes, but they were cast with an avowal that the bill is not meritorious. It is the product of in- sincerity.
 Nicholas Longworth, republican was honest enough to say that he did not approve the duty on cherries and apples and he charged that democrats did not oppose the duty of two cents on lemons because James M. Cox said something in their favor while cam- paigning in California.
 Alluding to the ease with which items got into the bill, MT. Long worth said:
 senator said that constituent
 had a bee and that therefore a
 tariff should be imposed upon
 honey. That was the way some of
 the duties were inserted in the
 bill.
 The republican tariff barons of the east were beaten at their own game. From the furthermost recess of the Pacific slope and hooks and corners of the south and the southwest the fellow who wanted America to pay a higher price for his product through the shutting out of those of other na- tions by a prohibitive tariff raised his voice and the sound was a raucous one that none could escape.
 If New England products were go- ing to have protection, why not pea nuts, oranges, cherries, honey, cot ton, graphite, sugar, phosphate rock :? Why favor one section more than an- other? Wall up the entire country against the products of all other countries and practice living at home.
 New conditions and necessities and new world relations have arisen. The old-fashioned tariff wall mason finds it difficult to adjust himself to the new rules of construction. The emergency tariff act is his confession of incapacity.

pure foods and drugs of the state de- pertinent of agriculture was impor- tant in itself. It was of still greater importance in putting the makers and merchants of fraudulent feed on notice that Alabama is not to be a field for their exploitation.
 Very recently cotton seed meal in Madison county was seized because the officials of the department de- clared it did not analyze according to the representations under which it was sold. Frauds of this nature strike at the very existence of sue cessful farming. Punishment for their perpetration cannot be too severe.
 The farmer is not chemist, he has no testing tubes. He would be pow erless in the hands of interruptions hidhClo OI 1CI LlllAtIo anu luihClo OA feed were it not for the specialists of the agricultural department watching out for his interests.
 Speaking of the seizure of fraudu- lent foodstuffs last year, the state department of agriculture says:
 Our work is growing more ef-
 fective every day in that the char
 acter of the various manufacturers
 and their goods are becoming bet
 ter known.
 The outcome will be that manu- lecturers will see that the goods which they make and sell come up to requirements. It is another of the hundreds of instances where the farm CT owes his welfare to the chemist, the testing tube and the laboratory.

- T F Glimpses of Russia Under Soviet Rule

A COMMUNICATION from A J A Sack, director of the Russian information bureau in America quotes bolshevist officials and news, papers to show the narrowing condi. tions in Russia as result of the mis. management and terrorism of the soviet government. Among the hon. orary advisers to this bureau are some of the most distinguished citizens of the United States. Bolshevist sympa- thizers may charge that the Russian information bureau is simply sending out propaganda to hurt their cause but in this case the testimony is of fered by bolsheviki themselves and is incontrovertible.
 For instance, the official bolshevist 'Ivevestia of December 2S, 1920, quotes from Trotzky's speech before the eighth congress of soviets, in which he stated that about 54,OOO versts Ca verst being equal to O.66 of a mile) of Russian railroads are destroyed, so that only the central part, about 15,000 versts, remains intact. Three thousand bridges and 16,O00 telephones and telegraphs have been destroyed, and we have about 61 per cent of sick locomotives.
 As result of the breaking down of the transportation system famine in central Russia is becoming worse every day. Thousands of peasants
 are starving and cattle are being ex- terminated because of lack of fodder 1 The condition of the working men under the red dictatorship and en-
