 h Memory of WaIker HorreH A schoolmate from our midst is gone, His voice is forever stilled, But God knew best and called him
 home,
 Though left our hearts with sadness
 filled.
 We miss him, yes, we miss him, We miss him from everywhere, But we must not yearn for his return, For he knoweth not care. Sleeping silently in the grave, Where each of us must lie, We sadly mourn for the dear Walker, Though each of us must die, He's paid the debt we yet owe, How heavy the debt, it seems, Though cross the rolling pillows of
 life, Where the heavenly mansion gleams. He's safe from every sorrow and care, With angels bright on the other shore, While our loss is heavy to bear, From grief he's free forever more. In peaceful stiffness he awaits His loved ones there to meet, Oh, what meeting at the gates When they each other greet. Twill then be ''Home, Sweet Home"
 to them,
 Their joys will be complete. When one and all around the throne, They kneel at Jesus feet. To the dear ones left behind, With you we sympathize. We know not why God took from you The boy you idolized. So sad to know Walker is gone, Gods will, not ours, be done Just leave 1t all with Jesus now, He'll comfort you while alone. As school-mates true we mourn for
 him.
 Though our loss be heavens gain, From us he's gone, forever gone, But sweet memories still remain.  Sweet memories of the days gone by, | When school days brought rich joys. So happy and gay were each of us. Each of us girls and boys. And earthly farewell is not so sad, Ii our sins all are forgiven, 50 let's watch and pray till the judg-
 ment day, And meet dear Walker in heaven. Where farewells never, never come, Where God OCT us His watch will
 keep,
 Where beautiful mansions will be our
 home,
 Where eternal life will be so sweet. (Written by one of his school mates,

GREATEST MERCHANT FLAYS
TORDNEY TARIFF

In response to inquiries from Cham
bers Of Commerce and business men,
John G. Shedd, president of Marshall
Field & Co., the greatest merchant in
the world, has this to say Of the Ford
ney tariff bill monstrosity:
1t is vital that Congress be made to
understand that law that prohibits
our buying products Of foreign manu-
facture will make it impossible for.
Europe to purchase our surplus farm
products, raw materials, etc. Europe
can only pay in ts-products; it has not
the gold.
"This tariff bill now before the fin
ance committee of the United States
Senate contains many provisions de-
structive to American business, and will
impose upon the consumer the burden
Of higher prices. Chief among it's OBJ
iectionable features is the so-caled
"American valuation PLAN"
"The merchant who must buy his
wares six months to a year or more in
advance and be compelled to make such
purchases with no idea Of what some
American expert or manufacture thinks
should have been paid for the goods is
not only placed in an impossible posi-
ton, but is actually prohibited from
trading in foreign goods. It is my
Judgment that this particular feature
of the Fordney tariff bill will be so
destructive to the revival Of American
business that forceful protest should
be sent to Washington.
"On the other hand, if poor judg-
ment is used in framing the laws on
these three great questions (tariff;; tax
alton and transportation we will no
doubt stumble on through period Of
uncertainty, business stagnation and
unrest -

OLD SHIPPING BOARD RUN BY
REPUBLICANS

In the discussion Of the present Ship
ping Board scandal, efforts of partisan
republican senators to place the blame
for the condition Of the Board s affairs
upon democrats and a democratic ad.
ministration were completely frustrated
by Senator Fletcher (Dem., Fla:,) in his
masterful way Of exhausting the facts,
figures and logic Of the subject with
which he deals. He reviewed the his
tory Of the shipping board and the leg
islation relating thereto and effectively
cntrovertcd the attempt being made to
create the impression that the shipping
board is wreck with a view to abolish
ing the merchant marine.
He showed that the large expendi-
lures and enormous contracts were
made under the craftsmanship Of
Charles Piez and Charles M. Schwab,
with j. H. Rosseter as director Of
operations. He emphasized the fact
that all three of these men were Re-
publicans and contributors to Repubh-
can campaign funds. He called atten-
ton to the fact that there was no
shipping board from December 6, 1920,
until June 8, 1921, because the Senate
madesby President Wilson.
Therefore, said Senator Fletcher,
"the claim that democratic shipping
board must be held responsible for al
legged waste and extravaganza and
crookedness and graft must be consid-
cred in connection with the fact as to
who were the men actually doing the
work resulting in this alleged extrava-
gance and inefficiency and incompet-
ency and worse.''
Of Chairman Laskcr and his em-
ployment of men at exhorbitant salar-
les, among other things he said:
eve find that Mr.. Lasker begins his
work here by inviting three men, two
at $4,000 a year each and one at
$4,000 a year, three men at $4,000 to
begin with, to have charge of opera
lions. j. H. Rosseter could take all
three of them on his knee and teach
them their A. B. C.'s in marine trans
portation.''

UNCLE DUDLEY'S COLUMN
Where Are Our Brains?

Recently, the government contracted
with England to build a giant dirigible
for our navy.
It collapsed on it's trial trip and
nearly fifty American and English air
men were killed.
Life paid the penalty of faulty con-
struction.
We can understand the why's and
the wherefores Of faulty construction,
but We can not understand why we
should have dirigible built in Eng
land at an expense Of two million dol
lars, when it could just as well be made
here at home.
This sort Of thing seems especially
aggravating when we think Of the five
or six millions Of men out of employ
ment in this country. It may be true
that none of these men could build OIL
rigibles, but the money would be kept
in circulation at home, and every little
helps.
Are we deteriorating in constructive
ability?
Must we admit that England, with
the best of her manhood under the sod,
is even yet able to construct dirigibles
where we can nOt9
Where are orr brains, anyway?

Horned & Co., Austin packers, was
given an indeterminate sentence OF

guilty in the district court here to a
charge Of grand laceny growing out of
his defelcations as Official of the pack

He entered a plea of guilty to two
separate counts, one charging misap'

sentence of not to exceed 10 years
and on the second maximum Of five
years, the sentences to be cumulative.
1t was stated by A. w. Wright, at
torney for Thomson, that an agree.

charges preferred would be pressed
against Thomson, and the action,
therefore, writes "finis" on one of the

Presidential Speeding

Through the means Of a national con
ference, the president hopes to secure
action that will speed up industry this
winter and relieve our six millions OF
people who are now unemployed.
We commend the action Of the presi
dent. May his reach be long and his
punch hard, to the end that it may bear
much fruit.
We trust he will not cease his activ'
ity until every man has a job, until
every back is we'll clothed and every
larder we'll filed.
1t is inconceivable that in this land
Of plenty there should be SO many who
have nothing.
If the president will start the speed
ing others may lend a hand.
Don't be surprised if England gives
in. Don't be surprised if Ireland
backs down. Don't be surprised if
they compromise. Don't be surprised
if they fight it out to finish. Don It
be surprised at anything. Only the
Lord knows what the end will be over
there.
No matter what may be accomplished

DEMANDS OPEN DOOR
American Government Outlines
Position on Mandates.
Safeguard for Missionaries as Well as
Business Men Said to Be Re.
quired in New Note.

Washington-The position of the
American government on the question
of mandates has been set forth more
cially in reference to those Of Glass
"A" and ''B" in a new note to Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan, and
through some of them, it is under
stood, has been submitted to the meet
ing OF the Assembly of the League of
Nations at Geneva for consideration.
Announcement was made at the
State department that the note was
dispatched last week, but no intima-
ton was given as to when it would be
made public, if at ALL
1t is understood that the note was
forwarded after inquiries were re-
ceived from some of the powers as
to the American attitude toward the
"A" and "B'' mandates for their
guidance in possibly considering the
allotment of some of the former enemy
territory at the Geneva meeting.
AS eagly as May IL, 1920, the Amer.
lean government had taken strong
stand against the setting up of any
special privileges in mandate terri
tory especially! as involving the oil
lands of Mesopotamia and the cable
privileges of the Pacific islands of zap,
the latter claimed as "C"" mandate
by Japan.
In this most recent note, Secretary
Hughes is understood to declare for
equality of treatment If all nations
and persons in trade and residence
and concessions in all mandate terri
tories, not restricting the claim to any
particular class, such as Mes0pOtamia
or zap, but applying it to the three
classes-"A" embracing those like
former Turkish territory which can
be Professionally recognized as: indie
pendent; "B'' including those like Cen:
trail Africa to be administered under
conditions providing equal opportuni.
ties for trade; and i &C" those like
Southwest Africa and the Southern
Pacific islands 10 be administered as
integral portions of the territory of
the Mandate country. H.. :
In making it's claim for the t.open
door, in all mandate territories, the
American government is understood to
have in mind the providing of SUI
ficient safeguards for American mis-
sionaries as well as American bust
ness men.

Mexico City--The signing of a
treaty with the United States is
neither possible, convenient nor nee
essary, and is contrary to Mexican
constitutional precepts, in that it Gre
ates special privileges for Americans
according to that portion of President
Obregon's message to congress dealing
with foreign relations, which was read
in the house.
President Obregon in his message
declared the conditions imposed by
the United States prior to recognition
for the signing of a treaty were "un-
justified" and that Mexico asked for
recognition only on the ground Of "its
legal and governmental ability to full
fill it's international obligations"
Prolonged applause from the mem
bers of the congress and the specta-
tors in the gallery greeted President
Obregon's declaration that it was i'm
possible to sign treaty with the Uni

There was a demonstration also
