yet the democrats were as quick as
anybody else to recognize the serious
ness of his error. 1t is easy to under
stand why Wilson should be opposed
to Reed, but when the former tries
now to bring about the latter's defeat
the public is inclined to regard the
effort as little short of revengeful
tactics--and not many votes will be
swerved into the Wilson column

SAMESE TWINS
OF TRADE.

QFrom speech by Senator Under
woody
l saw a cartoon in the paper the
other day which showed Siamese
twins fastened together by nature
for life, their bodies grown together,
their hands tied behind their backs,
marching to the block of the execu-
toner, who stood there with his red
gown and his mask on his face, pre-
pairing to execute the one called "Im-
ports" and some one rose in the audi
ence and said, "These are Siamese
twins. Kill one and you kill the
other"
So it is with our imports and our
exports today; they are Siamese
twins. We cannot export our goods
to foreign countries unless we are
paid for them, and VIC cannot re-
ceive any pay unless we allow some
products from other countries to
come in here. Therefore when we
seek by this bill to kill importation
entirely on every competitive prod
uct, as you do, in the end you are
going to kill exportation, because
there will be nothing to pay for the
exported material.

WISCONSIN THIS YEAR.
The Washington Star thus sizes up
the national political situation for the
democrats.

The Washington Star thus sizes up
the national political situation for the
democrats:
"How strong is Wisconsin in Mis-
souri,? The question is of interest,
and is interesting the politicians,
outside the contest in that state for
the democratic nomination for United
, States senator.
Like this: If Mr.. Reed is de-
feated, the Wilson influence will re-
| ceive the credit, and the Wilsonians
in other states become perky and con-
fident. The argument will be that
Wisconsin is coming back, and the
effort will be to spread it as far as
possible for effect in 1924-to bring
| if possible the democracy in every
state under Wilsonian management.
eff Mr.. Reed wins, the argument
will be that Wisconsin cannot make
the rifle" and check generally to
| Wilsonian activity and propaganda
will follow. Anti Wilson democrats
everywhere will draw longer and freer
breaths.
In Mississippi Mr.. Va I'd a m a n
shows desire to return to the senate.
He lost his seat largely through the
influence of Mr.. Wilson. then in the
White House and the master of his
party. Success for the Wilsonians in
Missouri will hearten the Wilsonians
in Mississippi, and Mr.. Vardaman will
feel the effect on his campaign.
"In Georgia there is no senatorial
test this year, but in the next contest,
wisconsin, if meanwhile it shows
revival elsewhere, may be factor.
Governor Hardwick, it is understood,
will not be happy until he regains
| the seat in the senate he lost, as Mr..
Vardaman lost his, through the Will
son influence. His election to the
governorship was an exhibition of the
decline of the Wilson power in the
state, and he and his friends want to
keep Wisconsin, at least so far as
Georgia is concerned, on the toboggan::
"The Missouri campaign is hot, and
! growing hotter. Mr.. Reeds friends
are of opinion that in his recent clash
with Mr.. Wilson he scored heavily,
and they are expecting him to score
again before and at nomination time.
If Missouri democrats are like those
of Texas Mr.. Wilson is likely to do
more harm than good by making fire.

A FUNDAMENTAL
TARIFF PRINCIP AL

Few men in Congress are as we'll
qualified to discuss the principles or
the DEATHS of tariff taxation as SEN
ator Underwood, another of the tariff
law which has been in effect since
1913. The following eXcerp from a
recent speech on the pending bill lays
down fundamental principle which
is worth bordering by everyone inter
ested ia equitable and just taxation:
Il belong to that school of thought"
said Senator Underwood, (which be-
lieves that the Legislative body, has
no constitutional right might go
further and say no moral right-to
use the taxing power of this great
government for the purpose of build
ing up fortunes or tearing them
down. | am as much opposed to the
idea of so levyng tax under the
guise of protecting American indus
try, so the great mass of the Amer
lean people must contribute out of
their pockets money to build up a
special industry, and make few
rich, as | am of extending the power
of taxation so far that it confiscates
the property of the individual and
accmplishes by the power and force
of taxation what the communism of
Russia has accomplished by a red
flag"
