If the republicans in congress expect
tc enact tax law that will not meet
the opposition of the democratic party
they are doomed to disappointment.
No matter what they do the democrats
are going to criticse and denounce.
They therefore should decide upon what
in their judgment is the best course
and then put it through regardless OF
all opposition in and out of congress.
The country is expecting action and
the republican party is committed to a
revision Of the tax statutes. The soon
or the work is finished the better VIII
it be for all concerned.

Nearly everybody now realizes that
war brings defeat to all parties to it.

Germany the vanquished. or France the

United States was on the winning side
it's financial losses would perhaps, II
everything were taken into considera-
ton. reach at least $4,000, 100000. and
possibly more. Then in the face OF all
this, facts which practically everybody
admits. can there be any doubt but that
the civilized world will find better
way than wars to settle the differences
between nations? There must be an
other way found or civilization Will
surely perish from the face OF the

The quickest way to eradicate the

the average American community is to
give that community a dose of the real

TO get excited when some socialist
makes a public address on a prominent
street corner. Let him or her spout
to their hearts content Converts may
lie made. it is true. but little social
ism in actual practice will make more
converts the other way. Down in
Davenport they know all about it and
even the rankcst socialists in the town
ere leaving the party in disgust. A few
years ago the socialists elected city
council and all city officers The social
lists got in a wrangle and made fools
of themselves. or rather revealed to
themselves that they were fools. AT
the very next election all the socialist
candidates were defeated and the hold
overs have resigned. Let the socialists
atone. They will hang themselves as
soon as given opportunity. Their

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.

A few years ago we heard much talk
about the freedom of the seas. That
was one of the famous fourteen points
that were so popular just before the
meeting of the Versailles conference.
"Freedom of the SEAS" it may be pre-
sumed. would permit nations citizens
to do anything out upon the seas be-
yond the three mile limit that was not
violation of law Of the nation whose
flag the ship was flying. However that
NAV be, wouldn't it be just as well for
Uncle Sam to enforce the law against
'.the launches that are flocking out to
get whiskey from English or any other
ships as it is to ask the other nations
to stop such practices? If the United
States cannot stop this thing right
under its own nose how can 1t expect
Great Britain to stop it three thousand
miles from. the seat Of the British gov
ernment!

RECREATION.

Iowa Falls Citizen: There is a
phase of recreation, rest, and outing OF
which few people ever think. There
are two separate and distinct ways OF
recreat ting. One is productive, directly,
and the other is largely non-productive
in itself, except as it may later increase
effectiveness A man may recreate by
sitting in the back yard and smoking
a corn cob pipe. He may fish or swim
or play marbles or play golf or play
ball or camp or rush away to the lakes.
He may 20 to some fashionable summer
resort and dance and parade in high
society. However, ilr uil of these ac-
tivitics there is no production, no di-
rect service to society. The other meth
cd of recreating is to secure rest
through another line of work. Babson,
the noted statistician, takes his recrea-
ton in productive work on his farm.
He says: Il prefer to make my own
recreational activity productive and en-
joyable at the same time" OF course.
in the matter of recreation everyone
will follow his tastes. However, always
and forever. in the end the man who
gives the greater service to society will
be the more successful. This is the
basis of our civilization. TO believe
otherwise is to accept the doctrine OF
communism and /. w. W.-ism.

GEO. E. ROBERTS AGAIN.

1--WE no longer need a high tariff
to bar out foreign goods while our own
industries are being developed. What
we need now is the opportunity to go
out and compete in the worlds mar
ets."-Geo. f. Roberts.
The Freeman-Journal never liked
that word thigh" in connection with
the tariff. We quite agree with Mr..
Roberts that high tariff-that is one
higher than the needs of protection de-
mand-is not what this country wants
But we do want adequate protection
tariff duties that compensate for the
difference Of cost in this country and
abroad. True, I'VE do not need tariff
now to bar out foreign goods while our
industries are being developed" but we
do need a protective tariff to enable
industries already developed to operate.
When the republican party was called
back to power on March 4. 1897. VIC had
well established industries i'll this
country, but they were lying dormant
because of the blighting competition
of the products of cheap labor of the
world under the democratic tariff
enacted during the administration OF
Grover Cleveland. Protection was not
then needed for the creation of new in
dustries but it was needed to permit
the factories lying dormant to start
their furnaces and FORCES.
Of what avail is ''thc opportunity to
go ont and compete for the markets OF
the world" when our own market is
surrendered to those with whom We
would have to compete? How can the

try the suggestion was scorned with
contempt. 1t was held that your Uncle
Sam was not going to be collector

are we would get our money years

Isn't it just as much an interference
with personal liberty" to enact a law
permitting only three per cent alcohol
in beer as 1t is to enact law prohib-
iting beer with more than one.half per
cent alcohol? What's the difference so
far as personal liberty is concerned:
Yet the fellows who complain of their
divine rights being assailed by the
policy that permits the latter would
feel all right about it if intoxicants
were permitted to be sold under any
circumstances that would enable them
to get drunk whenever they felt like 1t.
