Nadison-Of all the deaths Of chill

one-seventh are caused by diphtheria.
In Wisconsin last year, diphtheria
killed one person day. The years

was 1873 for every 100000 people-the
highest since 1910. In January this

durable. 1t occurs most often in chill

REPUBLICANS PASS
FORDNEY TARIFF BILL

The Republican protective tariff
bill, estimated by Chairman Fordney
j to raise around S500,000,000 in reve-
nue. annually, was passed Thursday
/ night by the House by vote of 289
to 127-precisely the vote by which
a Democratic motion for elimination
of its American valuation provision
was defeated. Seven Republicans
voted against the measure, while the
same number Of Democrats supported
it.
Oil, hides, cotton and asphalt stood
up against a determined fight to tan
them and remained on the free list.
The Longworth dye embargo, first of
the five contested schedules to go be-
fore the House proper for a separate
vote, and backed by most of the Re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee. was thrown out,
200 to 1893.
Forming and holding a flying
wedge, and aided by Republicans not
satisfied with all the bills provisions,
the Democratic minority made the
most of its chances and won on each.
The ways and means committee lost
out on three of the five amendments
laid before the House.
There was not much chance of im-
posing a duty on hides and cotton
after the House, in committee of the
whole, had defeated amendments car
rying compensatory rates on their
manufactured products. When the
oil amendment was reached there was
such a shout of noes that roll call
was not demanded. A moment later
Chairman Fordney, trying to make
himself heard above the din which
prevailed during three hours of vot-
ing, announced that sentiment in the
committee of the whole against tax
ing asphalt had been so overwhelm-
ing that it wasn't worth while to 60
through the form Of calling the roll.
Just before the time came to pass
the bill, Representative Garner, of
Texas, ranking Democrat on the
ways and means committee, stepped
to the front with the expected mo-
ton to send the bill back to the franz
ers with instructions to strike out
the American valuation and reciprocal
provisions. This was where the Re-
publicans and Democrats divided
squarelv on the whole tariff issue,
although they had split widely ON
some of the earlier votes.
1t probably was the first time since
wartime days that the House found
itself with such quorum on the eve
of vote. Closing the long wrangle
over the bill, Chairman Fordney
brought Republican members to their
feet by declaring it would bring
greater prosperity to the country
than it now enjoyed.

COMMITTEE
PREPARES FOR CAMPAIGN

The Democratic National Commit.
tee has inaugurated what is known
as the Preparedness Campaign 1921.
"a and invites the cooperation OF
Democrats throughout the nation
The measure of success of the cam
paign will depend upon the response
it receives in the way of financial
contributions from the rank and file
Of the party.
The Democratic National Commit
tee wishes every Democrat in the
country, men and women, to have and
to feel an interest in the campaign
to restore our party to power, be-
cause the committee is working in
the interest of the party as a whole
and for the general good of our
country.
To carry on its preparedness cam
paign the National Committee must
nave adequate funds. 1t can not APP
neal to the interests enjoying special
privileges, as the Republicans do; it
can not ask few Democrats of large
means to bear more than their fair
proportion Of expense; it must there
fore make its appeal direct to the
great body Of Democrats who make
up the party, who give it its victories
and control its destiny. You are one
Of that great body of Democrats It
is your party as much as the party Of
any other Democrat, rich or poor, of
whatever station in life.
It is not necessary to remind Dem
ocrats of their duty to their party or
their country. 1t is only necessary
on occasions to point out to them
the ways and means by which they
can perform that duty.
Whatever contributions you are
ling to make to the Democratic
Preparedness Campaign 1924 will
be of double value if made now, be-
cause the great opportunity Of the.
party is in the present, when the Re-
publican party is making a record
of failure all along the line.
No set amount is asked from any
one person, but only such an amount
as is within their present means and
inclination, large or small. Contri-
buttons will be promptly acknowl-
edged.
The time to lay the foundation for
success in the next congressional and
the next national campaign is now.
Checks and money orders should be
made payable to Wilbur w. Marsh,
Democratic National Com
mittee, AL Woodward building,
D. C.
Preparedness is one-half the battle.

THOSE FENCE ROWS

A gentleman who had occasion
recently to visit several nearby coun-
ties, and who seems to be of a rather
observing turn of mind, was in this
office day or two ago and stated
that our crops in Upton county are
the best that he has seen. He was
much impressed with the fine pros
poets for corn and with the good Gull
tivation of all crops.
His only complaint was that there
are so many fence rows that are
grown up in weeds, briars and bushes
that one can not see the good crops
from the road.
Now, there is no doubt that fence
rows of this kind detract much from
the beauty and value of our farms.
They also shade the public roads and
keep them muddy many times when
they would otherwise be good. Roads
like the Covington and Randolph road
that run in an east and west direction,
with bushes, and even trees, growing
all along the south side of the road,
are shaded too much of the time to
be kept in good condition.
Now that the crops are laid by,
why not get the fence rows cleaned
off, beautify the farm and help the
roads?
