THE MAN FROM MAINE

OF course the negro welcomes the
deal" Under the false statements
Of certain agitators, who are working
to bring about race riots, the negro
will welcome the IDEAL" This bill
win give him the opportunity in large
cities to hide up dark alleys and in
crowded buildings and shoot up inno-
cent men, women and children on the
streets with United States courts and
marshals hundreds of miles away.
want to say as Republican that
there is no deal or bargain made by
the Republican party to pay off any
alleged debts to the negro by the
passage Of this anti-lynehing bill We
as a party owe the colored people
nothing, and for one | refuse to be
politically blackmailed. (Applause.)
Mr.. Hersey scathngly refers to his
fellow New Highlander, "the Hon.
Moorfeld Storey of Massachusetts,
who is attorney for an organization
Of agitators known as the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, an organization whose
work is to stir up the race question
in the south and to induce the ignor-
ant negroes to believe that they are
the victims Of imaginary wrongs at
the hands Of the whites and that Con-
gress can stop all lynchings." And
his peroration, in the words that fol- F..
low, is worthy Of the best traditions
Of eloquent craftsmanship;
Since the DAYS of Blaine and Grady .
the sons Of the Blue and the Gray
have fought side by side ON land and
on sea, first to liberate the slave Of .
Spain. Then next the soldiers OF the
North and the South, forgetting par !
tisanship and sectionalism, have
borne the old flag of the fathers to
triumphant victory on the blood-red
field of France, and while | am speak
ing to you together the sons Of the
Blue and the Gray sleep side by side
ihder the peoples of Flanders Field
only yesterday the path Of the pres
dent was strewn with flowers by the
people of the south Never was this
lation more happily united Here in
he capital of the nation we have &
'een spending the past two months
With the great leaders of the civilized 6
world. We have been irving to dem J
nstrate how beautiful it is for ma
ions to dwell together in unity. i
In the afterglow of these happy /
christmas hours through which we S
ave lust passed, when our hearts cry I
ut Peace on earth, good will toward 4
len,' it is no time to enact thas mon c
trous law that can have no other "
feet or result than to fan into h
ames the expiring embers of race y
nd class hatred and bring back again G
} the beautiful southland the awful 4
errors of those davs of darkness 0
nat followed the Civil War. God help 0
S as Republicans to forget the doubt s.

ork together north and south, east h

WHY PRIMARY SYSTEM HAS
LOST ITS POPULARITY

The chief charge against the pri-
mary system of making nominations
for Office, as that system pertains in
this state and many others, is not
merely that it is cumbersome, expen-
sive to candidates and state and in
capable of awakening. interest on the
part of the voter.
For these conditions are really but
insignificant compared to the larger
allegation lodged against the system
now in vogue. That sin is its inability
to serve the public welfare.
1t is too often means of an un-
known man riding into political power.
It makes wise choice of candidates
difficult, and sometimes impossible. 1t
demands that the aspirant to official
hOnors neglect his business and at
great inconvenience and expense to
himself and his friends enter upon a
canvass whose outcome cannot be ac-
curated forecasted. While this latter
requirement is an embarrassment to
the Office seeker rather than the peO-
pie, on its face, it actually harms the
public in a greater degree because it
deters many good men from entering
official life.
Then, too, the primary plan as now
generally employed does not accom-
plish the end which it was chiefly 6e-
signed to serve. 1t is no safeguard
against trickery.
The early proponents of a straight
primary election" to determine the
choice of candidates for public Office
saw in their minds all unfit men stink
ing from such a contest. 1t was be-
lieved that no opportunity for cOrrup-
ton at the polls could exist. The
dream of the pioneer pleaders for the
present primary system was that it
would make the good citizen a power
for honest political rule, and that he
could never be overthrown.
No such results have come in Miss
ouri from the use of the primary NOM
mating system. Aside from bringing
to printers and publishers
and sign painters and multiplying the
number of paid workers in a campaign
there has been little actual benefit to
the cause of good government. On the
other hand, much harm has been suf-
fered Dy rue interests of the people
in their political life.
The reform of the primary system
must come. Its sensible development
is now seen to be pecessary-its need !
ed changing from a machine suppos-
edly self-0peratlng to i system IN |
which the brains and experience of
party leaders will be called upon to
serve the public. The primary sys-
tenn as now employed does not DO this.
It is too easily captured. moreover. by |
those skilled in political cunning.--St.
Louis Times.

his relief that the taxes be reduced
The outstanding feature of the new
tax law written by the special session
Of the Republican Congress was an in.
crease Of $500 in the tax exemption
OF the head Of every family who re-
ceives an annual income of $4,000 or
less. In addition, his exemption foI
children and dependents was doubled
from 5000 to $4O0. These exemptions
embrace practically all those on a
wage or salary. It includes over 4. =
100000 heads Of families in ordinary
circumstances. In addition, the new
tax law repealed altogether the
nuisance" taxes which working men
had to pay on everything everywhere
for everything they bought. It also
repealed all transportation taxes
which were levied on all goods shipped
by freight or express or parcel post.
Such taxes were added to the ultimate
cost Of goods and, in the long run.
were paid by the working men. All
told, the new tax bill lifted from the
shoulders of the working classes of
this country over 100000, 900 a year
According to a report issued by the
U. S. Department of Labor June, 1922
the retail cost of living was gradually
reduced from March, 1921, to the time
the report was issued. The living costs
in no other nation in the world were
reduced during this same time.
The sum and total of one year OF
Harding's administration, so far as il
affects the working people, has been
the elimination Of the problem of un-
employment except in those industries
affected by strikes; reduction of taxei
paid by the working classes in a sun
aggregating nearly a billion dollars.
the restriction of immigration; a gen
eral program of lessened public ex
penditures which insures still further
reductions in taxes; an increase Of l.
per cent. in the value Of Liberty bonds
millions of which are held by wage
earners and men on salaries; a grad
uai reduction in living costs.
Milford chronicle., 1922-10-06
q. 8. REPRESENTATIVE EVERETT SANDERS
ONDIANA), MEMBER HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

According to estimates given out by
the American Federation of Labor at
that time there were between 5000, 900
and 100000 wage-earners out of en-
ployment when the Republican ad-
ministration came into power March
4, 1921. This industrial depression
began early in the summer of 1920.
The immediate problem before the Re
publican party was the return to nor
NAL conditions.
The underlying cause of industrial
depression was the prostration Of agri-
culture brought about by the radical
curtailment of agricultural credits by
the Democratic administration. The
American farmer buys 40 per cent. Of
all manufactured PRODUCTS. His des-
perate circumstances compelled indus
tries to curtail production and turn
men into the streets. The Republican
Congress Immediately restored agri-
culture to a healthy condition. The
farmer entered the market again as a
buyer of manufactured goods. The
ranks of the unemployed began to
decrease.
All the time the coal and railroad
strikes were called there was a great
er demand for laboring men than there
was a supply.
One of the most important contribut-
ing factors to the improvement of the
unemployment situation was the early
enactment by the special session of
the Republican Congress of the re-
strictive immigration law. This was
demanded by the laboring people of
the United States. It's enactment pre-
vented the incoming of hundreds of
thousands Of immigrants who would
only have increased the ranks of the
unemployed and added to the indus
trial distress. The previous RepubH-
can Congress had passed a similar law
but it was vetoed by President Wilson.
The Republican administration came
into power finding the burden of taxes
very heavy. The working man had to
bear his share. It was essential to
