Uncle George.

Uncle Sam is mest decidedly In the

'eral consent the center Of the stage.
All eyes. occidental and oriental, are
turned to him. -
If he is In action. What is his OBJ
ject, and what will be the effect? II
not. why is he inactive. and when
may action be expected? !
AS is evident, the world would
change the name Sam to George. It
wants George to do It. If mohey is
necessary for any purpose, let George
contribute it. His wallet is crammed.
If some delicate question between
two nations. or among several. needs
arbitration, let George. arbitrate it..
AZ he Is not. "out for the, stuff, -
whether one thing or another. his
decision will go" He is both level
headed and unselfish.
II new homes for great numbers Of
people in distress are needed, let
George open wide his inviting gates.
His is great empire, and there. is
still plenty of room. And then. from
long practice he has acquired the art
Of handling strangers in distress who
have embarked on a hess venture. :.
This is all quite nattering. but nat.
terry is sbmetimes dangerous. Let
Uncle Sam take action. or. withhold
action. as his constitutional limiea::
tions permit. He has money. but none
to burn Or throw to the. birds. He
has troubles enough of his own. shd
does not care to shoulder those Of
Others. And while there Is still plenty
of room in his empire. he. Is, reserving
It for the right sort Of people. =. y
Let Uncle Sam decline the new
name. The one with wh.chehe was
christened should on no account be
abandoned. Uncle Sam II is, and
Uncle Sam it should remain

The Tariff and 1924.

Occasional mention In Congress OF

measure Is still in the minds Of legss

democrats, and still defended by those
who put It on the books. 1885,.

and. while business conditions will no,
In that time be such as to: give the
