SOME OF THE RESULTS OF PUT.
TING PRESIDENT WILSON IN A
HOLE

Joseph w. Fordney. the Republican
Chairman of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, in a recent debate
on the Revenue Bill attacked Presi-
dent Wilson for taking over the rail
roads during the war. When asked
why he voted in favor of having the
President take over the railroads, he
made this reply:
II voted to put the President in a
hole, and we did"
The Lodge, Fordney & Co., combine
voted, not to help humanity, or their
country, but to put Wilson in hole.
In that respect the combine was emil
nently successful Wilson was put in
hole all right, and so was the coun-
try.
When the movement to put Wilson
in hole was commenced, this was
the most admired, the most favored
nation in the world. Today those con-
ditions are reversed.
Today the Department Of Commerce
chronicles drop OF over $4,000 1000 900
in the country's foreign trade for the
fiscal year 1921 as compared with
1920. Estimating our population at one
hundred millions. that would be a
drop equivalent to $50 for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
In wilson's policies there was help
full friendship for all mankind. Why
should foreign nations trade with this
country after it had put Wilson in
a hole for being their friend?
Today there are more than five mil
lions Of men out of employment in
this country, because the business OF
the country s>down at the bottom OF
the hole along with Former President
Wilson.
Present conditions are not largely
chargeable to the war, but in large
measure are the result of change
from humane policies and from legis-
.lation favorable to the masses.
Wilson was not put in hole for
nearly two years after the war closed,
and during those two years this coun-
try enjoyed an era Of exceptional pros
perity.
Today shiploads of our grain are
being sent from Chicago to Canada to
find a market in that country, a.
country that was in the war three
times as long as this country, and
yet is enjoying liberal measure of
at the present time.

ROBERTS SAYS WE SHOULD NOT
BUILD A TARIFF WALL
AGAINST CANADA

I'VE ought to be working IN the
closest harmony with Canada in
stead Of building up a wall against
her goods. Last year the balance
of trade with Canada was $780,
900, 900 in our favor. Canada has
got to send US goods in order to
pay her debt to us. She can't do
it otherwise, and If we put a tariff
wall against her so that she cant
sell to us, then she won't be able
to buy from us. She will have to
do her buying from some country
where she can ship goods in return

ROBERTS SAYS FARMERS VERY
FOOLISH WHO THINK A TARIFF
ON THEIR PRODUCTS WILL
HELP THEM

1.-THE farmer is very foolish to
think a tariff on his products will
make better market and higher
prices for him. For years we have
had to seek an export market Tor a
large part of our grain. That being
so, what do we need of tariff to
keep out foreign grain? The tariff
on hides would not bring a penny
to the farmer. He sells his cattle
on the hoof at so much per pound.
tariff on hides would not raise
the price to him He does not get
Maid for the hide but for the pound
weight of the cattle."-George E
Roberts.

THE POISON THAT KILLS NATIONS

Capital, like fire and water Is use
full when used in a proper manner
and in reasonable quantities. AS long
as capital is the servant Of business
it is a good thing. When it represents
stored wages it is great thing. When
it is concentrated in the hands OF a
few and dominates in business af--
fairs it becomes a national poison.
When darkness settled over Egypt
and she lost her place among the
great nations of the, earth three per
cent Of her population owned 81 per
cent. of her wealth. When Babylon
went down two per cent of her popu-
lation owned all the wealth. When
Persia bowed her head, one per cent
of her population owned all the land
When the sun of the great Roman En-
pire set in despair 1900 men owned
and controlled all of the then known
world.
President Wilson, with the history
of the world in mind, favored heavy
suxtaxes on the incomes of the i'm
mensely rich. A man with net yearly
income of $1,000, 100000 is now taxed
81 per cent, or s5S3,51o.0O But after
that much is taken by the government
he still has s416.4s0 left. Why should
any man want a larger income than
the present law gives this immensely
rich man? Is not large income a
menace to the State? Why does our
present congress want to cut such
a mans taxes down half? This last
question calls to mind the words Of
the late William Shakespeare when he
had one of his Hamlet characters
say; There is something rotten in
the State of Denmark"

HOW TO HELP THE FARMERS

Every farmer, and everyone else fol
that matter, knows that in one brie1
wear the farmers of the country have
been more previously afflicted by fall.
ing prices than ever before in a single
year in the history of the country. Nc
one will deny this statement. This
disastrous change has been largely
brought about by two changes, name
~:
1. The shrinking OF the country's
money supply.
2. The tariff walls which the pres
ent administration has erected and Is
engaged in erecting.
II Congress really wants to help
the farmers, all that is needed is to
redo some of the things that have been
undone since the election of Mr.. Hard
ing as president.
1. Let congress stop the deflation
and provide for moderate initiation
of the currency.
2. Let congress stop the destruc-
ton of our foreign markets by the
erection OF high tariff walls. Our sur
plus farm products can not be sold in
countries where tariff walls prevent
the people of this country from buying.
We must buy where we sell.
The deflation policy of the present
administration is heartless and de-
structiye. 1t is wanton disregard OF
the financial changes wrought by the
war. Before the war private money
loaners, many Of them farmers, made
loans to their neighbors and helped
them to finance their undertakings.
But the war practically ended that
kind of loans. Individual or private
money loaners have almost ceased to
exist, because they were called upon
to buy government bonds, and an
swered the call They are now the
owners of government securities in
stead Of private notes and mortgages,
They are now unable to make loans
to their neighbors, or help to save
them from bankruptcy.
AS an agency to assist in the bor-
rowing of billions Of money, the gov.
eminent had to initiate the currency,
and now, without paying its debts
or returning in any way to the arter-
les of business the billions it bor-
rowed, it is engaged in the deflation
of the country's money supply The
Federal government borrowed from
the people of this county hundreds
of thousands OF dollars, not single
dollar of which has been repaid, and
now, when our business is burning at
the stake for lack OF money, the gov
eminent is enforcing scarce money
policy.

ROBERTS SAYS TARIFF ON WOOL
WON'T HELP PRODUCTION, BUT
WILL MAKE CLOTHES COST
MORE

"The tariff on wool won't make
us produce pound more of wool in
this country. Our wool production
is more likely to decrease than in
crease through the sheep grazing
lands being turned over to other
purposes, as has already been the
case in New England, and the east
ern states. We don't import wool
because we can't raise it. But be-
cause we won't. But the tariff will
make clothes cost more to the Ameri-
can people. George E. Roberts.

ROBERTS SAYS WE CUT OFF OUR
EXPORTS WHEN WE CUT OFF
0TR IMPORTS

1.-THE long and short of it is that
when we cut off our imports we cut
off our export trade and then what
is going to happen to our merchant
marine? 1t is remarkable policy
to be planning to spend two or
three hundred millions of dollars
on our merchant marine and at the
same time be planning to cut off
our overseas business. What do
the tariff makers think our ships
are going to carry? Do they expect
other nations to call on our ships
to do their carrying trade and put
their own ships out of commission"

ROBERTS SAYS WE MUST BUY
WHERE WE SELL

South America owes us huge
sums and does a large trade with
u.s. We have spent many years and
much pains building up our South
American trade. She is one OF our
best customers. But what she buys
from us she has to pay for in goods.
We must buy where we sell. 1t Is
the only way our debtors can build
up credits to pay US. We can't
drive them to Europe to establish
their credits and expect them to use
those credits to pay us."-George E.
Roberts.

the Supreme Court Of Illinois in pass.
ing upon the will of the late Clifford
Cherry of Oswego.
In its dCci ion the court affirmed
the action of Judge Adam CliffC Of
the Kendall county Circuit Court, who
overruled a petition of Attorneys Pei
fer and Wing, lawyers for Mrs. Ruth
Cherry DeFrates guardian of Cherry's
child, Lillian Emmeline, years old,
to have the contingent remainder
clause stricken out of the will.
Cherry who died Jan %, 1917, lel.
a will giving his wife and child life
use of his 100000 estate, title to the
property going to the children of his
child" In the event that his child
had no children the will directed that
the estate be distributed amOng
Cherry's heirs. At the time the un-
usual document was drawn Cherry's
child was about 2 years Old
Soon after the death Of Cherry suit
was filed in the Kendall county Cir
cult Court at Yorkville in the interest
of the child to break the will of the
father. This suit charged that at the
time the will was drawn Cherry was
Of unsound mind. Mrs. Cherry con.
Sidcred one of the most beautiful girla

ricd Cherry was suing hcr husband
for divorce at the time of his death.
While the suit contesting the will
on the ground that Cherry was in
sane was pending in the Kendall
county court Mrs. Cherry, now Mrs
Roy DeF'rates, retained Attorneys Pet
ier5 and " ing, and, as guardian of her
child, brought an action to have the
contingent remainder" clause Strick-
en- out of the will in order to have
immediate possession of the estate
vested in her child. 1t was set forth
by her lawyers that it was against
public policy to tie up the estate be
yond the lifetime of the child, but
Judge Cliffc held the will to be legal
Attorneys for Mrs. Cherry appealed
to the Supreme Court, with the result
that tho higher court handed down a
decision affirming the action Of Judge
Gliffc.

THEY CONSIDERED IT
A PRACTICAL JOKE

a number of young men with two
Ford cars and dummy dressed as
a man, secured a great deal Of en-
joyment last night by dropping the
dummy off the first auto, into the
path of the second machine allowing
the wheels of the car to pass over
the man" The victim would then
be hurriedly picked up and rushed to
a hospital" while pedestrians were
casping at what they supposed to be
fatality. The dummy was drop
ped in front Of a woman's machine on
Madison street causing the lady
whose car struck it, and who was the
victim Of the misplaced humCr to
scream so loudly, that her cries could
he heard for blocks.
Residents of east ottawa who wit
messed one of the accidents sum
moned the police and ambulance, but
when the officers arrived, Fords, men
and even dummy had vanished and
could not be located.
