c. D. OF A. TO GIVE
CARD PARTY TONIGHT

Beautiful prizes, charming sur
roundings and congenial society are
the attractions offered by the Cath
olic Daughters of America at their
progressive five hundred party, which
will take place tonight in the X. of c.
clubhouse. Refreshments will be
served, and those familiar with the
layishness of the entertainments
given by the Daughters and their well
merited fame as hostesses will not be
likely to miss this party.
The K. of c. clubhouse, with it's
many windows and delightful veran-
das, should prove especially appeal
ing as a setting for a card game be-
cause of the sultry weather which
prevails. as there are few places
where even the most confirmed card
iens may find such an opportunity to
enjoy their favorite pastime during
the summer season and yet remain
comfortable.

Losing his grip while painting the

noon, Preston Tucker. Is, youngest
son of Charles Tucker. well-known
mechanic about the city, fell 25 feet
10 the cement pavement below and
apparently was only slightly injured.
That he was not killed instantly is re-
garded as remarkable.
His only injuries consist of a cut
about the lip and lacerated eye. No
bones were broken. nor is it thought
that he suffered any internal injuries.
according TO attending physicians.
Tucker had just resumed work af-
ter the noon dinner hour when the ac-
cident occurred. Persons passing
around Church Circle were startled to
see the body of the young man plung-
ing to the street. In the fall, Tucker
struck against the side of the Hart
Building. The force OF his fall, thus
broken. is believed to be responsible
for the fact that he was not fatally
hurt.
Tucker was picked up and placed
in an automobile and hurried to Emer-
gency Hospital. He was entirely con-
scious and talked with the physicians
while his wounds were being dressed.
The physicians were considerably him
dered in the work of examining his
body by the fact that he was be-spat-
tered with tar paint.
The general condition of the injured
man is such that he was able to leave

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TARIFF,

The clans are gathering in large
numbers in the highways and political
byways of Washington at the call OF
the tariff chieftains, and before long
we may look for the appearance OF
the cloven hoof. That the tariff re-
form is to come in the way of protec-
ton and higher schedules there can
be no doubt. The important matter TO
be considered is who is to be pro
tected? The manufacturers can be
trusted to look after their own inter
ests, but it is to the interest of every
body that the welfare of the farmer
be conserved. President j. r. How
ard, of the Farm Bureau, is awake to
the seriousness OF the situation, and
there ear be no doubt he will prove
himself a potent factor in this bust
ness of fixing up the country's system
of duties: but farmers as individuals
must remember that to be strong
President Howard must have united
support. No set of politicians dare
fly in the teeth of the united voice of
the farmer, Hobbies to the contrary
Notwithstanding; but if that voice be
divided, then anything may happen.
There are many agricultural products
that we have in surplus, and in these
America must meet world markets.
First in Importance corn. Leg
islation that will prevent dumping
will be of great benefit to the Ameri-
a farmer who always has under his
nose a map of Argentine.
The farmer is bound to suffer to
some extent from high schedules be-
cause high tariff on the things he
buys will more than offset high tariff
on the things he has to sell. Certain
ly there should be insistence that no
schedule on the manufactured prod
ucts of agriculture should be higher
than on the raw products that come
from tilling the soil.

A PLEA FOR UNDERSTANDING.

Perhaps the besetting sin of the
average American is his imperfect
knowledge of economies. He Is q
splendid business man individually,
but nationally he knows little, and
consequently many times the govern
mental factors that decide our fnan'
cial policies operate without either
the guidance or the check of public
opinion. This is a more serious mat.
ter than might appear on the surface
Henry Ford, for example, suggests
that the government issue money
backed not by the gold reserve, but
by the power in the great rivers. 1t
is contended that the security of pow
er is more stable and beyond doubt
a more certain asset than metal. On
the other hand, we find the gold wor-
shippers who insist that the yellow
metal is the only basis of national
stability. Gold production, of course,
Is quite limited, footing up at most to
a few hundred millions. But also 1t
is a fact that the water power of the
country is not an asset until 1t is har-
messed and put intelligently to work
When we come to consider the pro
duction of national wealth on which
all credits must be based, we find that
the farms of this country last year
produced $12, 1856, 900, 900; SO that this
ignoring of agriculture, this turning OF
the public mind aside from the real
American fundamentals means thai
the powers that be are "monkeyine
with a buzz saw" playing fast and
loose with the heart of the nation
The sooner a basis of understanding
be reached between the government
financiers and the agriculturalists, the
better will all of us be financially
and nothing will bring the dawning OF
the day sooner than the pressure oil
public opinion, which in turn can
make itself felt only when there is in
tenigen1 understanding of our eco
nomic structure.
