President Wilson is said to favor

The Frecman-Journal is opposed to

the people are opposed to any such
proceeding. However, the acceptance
Of German bonds in lieu of the debt
Belgium owes us is not cancellation
Of that debt. 1t might turn out that

the people of this country, we believe,
are against the policy of taking Ger

nations debt Belgium may pay even
if Germany does not, and She is quite
sure to pay if Germany pays her.

AND THEY CALL 1T SPORT.

An American reporter recently visit
ell Monte Carlo and sent back word
that the so-called sport which is now
drawing the biggest wagers is the old
live pigeon shoot.
The tail feathers of pigeons are
trimmed before they arc sent out from
the traps. This prevents them from
NAL king rapid escape. The American
visitor says that about ninety-nine out
of a hundred of these pigeons are kill.
ed before they get three feet into the
Dir. We presume that the Monte Carlo
"sportsmen" attribute this to their
superior craftsmanship.
We are inclined to think that the
slaughter of the pigeons would be more
acceptable. in Monte Carlo than it
would be in Iowa. Another good way
to improve the sport would be to tie
the pigeons to the limbs of trees
Des Moines Capital.
Such sport as that is on a par
with turning fox loose that has been
kept in captivity so long that it is
tame, and then watch the dogs manglc
it The poor defenseless little animal
doesn't know which way to turn and
doesn't make much Of an effort to get
away. Yet full grown men will some
times watch such performances and
call it fun. The picture shows occa-
sionally give illustrations of fox hunts
in England or elsewhere and the fox
stands about as much chance for es'
cane as Gov. Cox did to being elected
president last fall There is a pack OF
hcunds-dOzens of them-tO chase the
fox and these are followed by dozens
of men and women on horseback. Such
performances may please some movie
patrons, but this writer has heard
dozens of cOndemnatiOns of such shows
and nary an endorsement. The aver.
age normal person doesn't enjoy any
sort of so-called sport where the vic.
tim doesn't have good chance of cs'
cape. The film producers ought to cut
out such scenes, also the ones where
horses or other animals are treated
roughly.

protective tariff law-but protective
tariff law. Build the wall just high
enough to keep out foreign made COM
petitive goods if our manufacturers
and producers sell at fair profits. If
they undertake to demand tribute, as
they will if they can get it, allow for
eign goods to seep over the top of
the wall. A tariff rightly adjusted
will protect the American consumer
from extortion and at the same time
give the American producer who is
willing to do business upon fair
margin the preference of the domestic
market
This talk INDUCED in by free traders,
near free traders, exporters and i'm
porters, aided by democratic partisans
who arc against protection because
the patty has always been against it
ever since the days Of James Bucha-
nan, Jefferson Davis, John G. Calhoun,
John Vallandigham and Thomas A.
Hendricks, is only camoutlage, resorted
to to brighten hesitant republicans in
congress who lack the courage Of their
convictions. This is not the first time
at the end of democratic administra-
ton that the country found itself
foundering upon the rocks. The same
condition, was nrnSent at fllo close of
the administration Of James Bucha-
nan and Grover Cleveland. However,
when the policy of protection was re-
stored it aided greatly in bringing the
country back to normal conditions and
return to- that policy will be Of ma
terial benefit now. Protection is not
! cure-all, but it is an aid. If the
American producer is given preference
| in the domestic market it will help.
Last year we imported between So
DOC, 100000 and $G,OOO,0OO,O00 worth of
goods and wares, large part Of which
could have been produced here, thus
giving employment to our own manu-
facturers and producers.
1t would be better for this country
to give the allies a receipt for what
they owe us than to permit them to
close our factories and shops in order
| to give them market for cOmpcti-
tive goods.

AN AGE LONG DELUsION

"If humanity of the present day

Rivalry between nations and commu-
mites and individuals is right and prop
er, but such rivalry should not be OF
! a nature that results in killing PEG
pie, burning property, looting towns
and country. and broadcasting pesti-

Divine Providence never provided for
iany such thing. 1t was the devil
that did that
| Divine Providence doesn't prompt
the individual to murder and steal fOl
personal gain and the nation that muir

duty, just as the individual is, but il
is never the duty of the nation or the

Militarists and war mad peoples like
Won Tirpitz like to saddle the respon,
Isibility for their peculiar ideas upon
Divine Providence and when they
force war they seek to excuse their
course by some connection Of words

plenty of ways for nations to indulge
