ton was the plainest and most en-
phatic reputation of the Harding adj
ministration yet given. This is shown
by a comparison of the results in the
case of Governor Nestos, who was OPP
posed by the Non-partisan League and
won and in the case Of Senator Nc
Cumber, who was opposed by Nom
Partisan League candidate and lost.
On state issues the Republican candi-
date won victory; on national issues
the Republican candidate went down
to defeat. 1t was reputation also
in a Republican primary of the Repub-
lican profteers' tariff bill.
The defeat of Senator McCumber is
made more complete and instructive
, by the facts that he had served TWEEN
ty-four years in the Congress, had
risen to be chairman of its greatest
committee where he was the spokes-
man of the reactionary Harding adj
ministration, and successor of the late
Boise Penrose. Moreover, it is report
ed, his primary campaign was backed
by ample funds and special effort
was made by the reactionaries to "put
him over". The result was anticipated
by the Democrats and the leading
newspapers of the country. They
realize that the country is losing con-
fdence in the Harding administration
and is Disguised with the do-notning
Congress. The North Dakota result
was another repetition of the hand
writing on the wall whenever the re-
dictionary Republicans sit down to a
political BelShazzar's feast: "Mene,
meme, tekel upharsin," which being
freely translated means: "This is a
Democratic year."

Harding, Roosevelt, Wilson and thu
Coal Strike.

Goal strike.
The most surprising feature of the
coal situation, without entering upon
any discussion of the merits of the
controversy, is this:
With the average householder not
knowing where or how he is going to
obtain his winters supply, with va
rious industries not knowing how they
will obtain fuel to keep their plants
in operation during the winter, with
the situation deadlocked between op-
orators and miners, with conference
in session to try to arrive at solu-
ton, President Harding delivers a
characteristic milk and water speech
to the conference and resumes his va
catiopal diversions.
No one would deny President Hard
ing the boyish delight he apparently
experiences in freeing himself from
the arduous cares of his high office
when opportunity offers. But there is
time fo1 work and time for play.
When the general interests of the
public are threatened it is time to sup
press the playboy instinct and to deal
promptly with the matter at first
hand.
The surprise comes, therefore, when
President Harding's method of deal
ing with the acute coal situation is
contrasted with those of former Pres
idents Roosevelt and Wilson. The
question naturally arises, would either
of them in such critical situation
have delayed so long and then dealt
with the matter in temporizing man.
ner and have left Washington at such
time? Would they virtually have
said, "Let Herbert and Jim do it," or
would they have taken command of
the situation themselves and pressed
it to a solution? We know what
they did under similar circumstances
President Harding owes a duty to
the public in effecting just settle
ment of this coal controversy-in any
event to protect the public interest,
The coal situation is another test of
his administration. AS the Boston
Herald (Rep,) says:
"The coal operators are not on trial
The United Mine Workers are not on
trial; Warren G. Harding, President
of the United States, is on trial in this
conference"

A Democratic Competitive Tariff VS.. a
Republican PrOhibitive Tariff.


While the leading Republican papers
of the country have reflected the
Democratic opposition to the profit
GERS tariff bill, a small section of the
Republican press--the morons of Re-
publican journalism-have sought to
defend the infamous schedules of this
bill by the counter-eharges of free
trade and free-traders brought against
the Democratic tariff policy and the
Democratic spokesman, respectively.
No more convincing answer could be
made to this than the fact that the
tariff revenue under the present Sim
mons Underwood act is greater for
the fiscal year just passed than was
the revenue under the Payne-Aldrich
act, heretofore the highest in the his
tory Of the country.
These papers defend the exorbitant
rates of the Fordney McCumber bill
on the theory that the people will be
willing to pay still higher prices for
the things they buy, providing the
mills and factories are opened up
and labor employed, ignoring the over
shadowing fact that the mills and the
factories as well as all natural indus
tries would be working full time under
the present Democratic competitive
tariff if the producers had a foreign
market for their products and if the
American market had not been i'm
paired by the economic collapse Of
Europe following the defeat of the
peace treaty and the reconstruction
program of the Democratic admins
tration after the armistice.
The essential difference between
the Democratic and Republican tariff
policies are, that the Democratic tar
if, with duties so levied as to insure
revenue for the government without
doing injury to or discriminating
against any legitimate business; the
tariff policy of the Republican party
as expressed in the Fordney- Met Cum
Der tariff, amounting to an embargo
With the increased cost put upon the
necessities of life, coincident with the
liquidation Of labor, it makes it i'm
possible for the laboring man to ex-
istj for the farmer to market his sur
plus products or to find an adequate
market at home for his normal do
mestic production. 1t means further
depression Of industry, further lack of
employment, further decrease of gov
eminent revenues from all sources
and continuation of the commercial
isolation, which is largely responsible
for most of the country's present ills.
Still Dazed over McCumber's Defeat.

Power Plant May
Be Erected Soon
In Ozark County

The Mountain Grove Creamery.
Ice and Electric company is
planning to erect a dam across
North Fork river, five miles be
low Double Springs in Ozark Co
for the purpose of establishing a
hydrOelectric plant. A survey of
power site and transmission line
route was completed last week
aud engineers who made the
survey stated that the site Offer
I'd exceptional opportunities for
Il power plant.
The Mountain Grove company
originally planned TO build the
transmission line dire city north
from the power plant, through
Ozark, douglas and Wright coun
ties to Mountain Grove. The
route now being considered runs
east from the Friend mill site on
Noit tin Folk to the Howell county
line, following the ridge Grim
met and on northwest to Willow
Springs, Cabool and Mountai n
Grove. This would give the com
ijany a direct line to thes"points.
The company has already re
Ceived permission from the co
lnty court Of Ozark county to
construct the hydro electricp'ant
on North Fork and to build IA
transmission line across that
county. The county court of
Douglas county also has granted
a franchise for the transmission
