Great Democratic Leadership on Tariff.

The old Spanish proverb, "lVs a
waste of lather to shave an ass"
would seem to apply to the effort ex-
pended in criticising the pending Re-
publican Tariff bill, because it is abb
solutely certain that the bill with lis
multiplication of iniquities, taxing
everything from the safety pin in the
newborn infants abdominal bandage
to the tombstone in the cemetery,
will be passed.
The Democratic analysis OF the var
ious schedules, however, are justified
by the fact that the people are en-
titled to know and to understand the
size of the mountain of taxation and
the ~indefensible policy under whish
it is levied.
No other tariff bill has been SO
thoroughly analysed, dissected
yiyisected so far as the debate has
proceeded as this ~indefensible measure
and the indefensible policy of protec-
ton responsible for it. The Demo-
cratic Senators who have been most
prominent in exposing the weakness
es, inconsistencies, fraud and down
right robbery in this p%rofteers' tariff
bill are perhaps the best equipped ano
most experienced men to deal with
this subject that have ever sat IN
either House or Congress-Under'
wood, Simmons, Pomerene, Jones Of
New Mexico, Robinson, Pitman
Hitchcock, King, Fletcher-one nigh
include a large majority of the sitting
Democratic Senators.
On the other side of the ChanbeI
there seems to be but one man, Smoo
(Rep., U.ah)-veteran stand patter
reactionary advocate of the theory o
special privilege-whose theories o
government in the matter of taxation
seem to include the benevolent de
potism of Frederick the Great ant
the policy of levying tribute practices
by the feudal barons before Magn;
Charta.

Watson Fools Hoosier G. o. P. by "Con-
cealing" World War.

Senator "Jim" Watson, who out in
Indiana passes for a statesman, is
certainly sly and foxy when. it comes
to making a keynote political speech.
He told his ellow-Republicans at the
Indiana Republican State Convention
that the previous administration had
created "a mountain of obligations
and then he showed them that Mr..
Harding was conducting the govern
ment for much less money. The
Senator's foxiness came in by con-
cealing from his hearers the fact that
the Wilson administration had been
mixed up in some kind of war.
Senator Watson seem to think that
q Republican administration is entitled
to credit for conducting the govern
ment on a slightly cheaper basis in
time of peace than a Democratic adj
ministration did in the greatest war
of all history.

Shortage in Bonus Will Amount to
S6,184,500.

The shortage in the state bonus Tor
former service men OF Missouri will
amount to Sc, 1s4, 500, according to an
estimate of the State Bonus Commits
sion submitted to Governor Arthur
NJ. Hyde Tuesday.
The estimated total number OF
claimants who may be entitled to the
bonus is 166 900, according to w. A.
Raupp, chairman of the Bonus Com
mission. Federal government figures
credit Missouri with that number OF
persons who served in the World
War. However, it is assumed that
not all of these will claim the bonus
and that some of them will be dis
Qualified for various reasons.
However, up to'June 5, 1922. a total
of 1923, 45O claims had been received by
the Commission, and they still con-
tinue to come in at the rate of nearly
two hundred a day. Reflections to
date are running less thon 1 per cent
and it is estimated that at least 49,
600 valid claims will have been re-
ceived by December 81. 1922, the date
fixed by law as the time limit for the
presentation of such claims.
The aversge amount paid on suef
claims, based on the first 10, 900 claims
is S146.10.
II the estimated total of 145, 00l
claims is reached, taking an average
of STAG 10 per claim, the total amour
required to pay all claims will be $22,
1s4,500 or ST, 1874 800 more than TIT
amount available, the $15, 900 900 vot
ed by the people last August.

In Memoriam.

Again our hearts are touched when
on May 9th, 1922, that s'stiIl sweet
voice" whispered, come, and took
from our midst Randall John Wesley
Orrick, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Or
rick of Graniteville, Mo-, aged is
years, one month and 20 days. He
professed a hope in Christ in January
1922, and lived daily in close touch
with God. He submitted wholly to
Gods will. expressing the desire to
suffer longer if God wished him to
suffer; to die il it was Gods will; or
if it was Gods will for him to get well
he was willing to live for Him.
With a word of cheer he always
greeted us and his suffering was borne
likewise. A young life, in youth and
in purity, as of q fresh blossomed
flower Just picked from the stem-stis
hard, tits not for us to understand
why-yet we know He doeth all things
well. The flower that is sweetest and
fairest in the end is killed by the
frost.
Funeral services were conductediby
Bro. Chas. L. Ferguson at the M. E.
Church, interment occurring at the
Middlebrook cemetery.
He leaves a mother, father and two
brothers. With them he left that
sweet assurance and remembrance
for them not to worry about him.
What a consolation to know that his
soul is with God! Think Of him not
as an earthly form but of q beautiful
spiritual life. Der Heavens golden
streets how sweet the strains are
telling of that new life where Randall
now is dwelling.
In silence he suffered,
With patience he bore,
Till God called him home
To suffer no more.
No more he'll feel the cares of earth.
He now is laid to rest;
In our hearts there is the longing
Oh, God, new hope place In our
breast.
Teach us in our great sorrow
To trust within Thy love;
SO when our tasks are ended
We all may meet above.
A FRIEND.

Brewster for Congress.
piedmont Journal Banner,

piedmont Journal Banner.l
Responding to a general demand over
the 18th congressional district that he
again be the Democratic candidate for
Congress, it has become known that
Hon. Arthur T. Brewster, of Ironton, has
decided to make the race and that the
formal announcement Of his candidacy
will be made soon.
The Democratic congressional nom
inee in the years 1918 and 1920 and de-
feated in the nationwide Republican
landslides of those years, Mr.. Brewster
had some hesitancy in asking for another
nomination. But for the past several
weeks, Democrats in all of the counties
of the district, who realizing that the
defeats of 1918 and 1920 could in no-wise
be charged to Mr.. Brewster, and appre-
ciating the valiant and able campaigns
which he made in those years, have been
insistent in their demands that he again
| consent to make the race. For as lovers
of fair play and a square deal, they know
that his races of 1918 and 1920 were
hopeless to him, as they would have
been to any other Democratic nominee,
and this year when all signs portend to
a Democratic victory and the redernp-
ton of the 18th congressional district of
Missouri from the mis- representation
that it has had for the last four years,
they look to Mr.. Brewster as the logical
candidate.
The 18th congressional district does
not possess a man who can more ably or
who will with more honesty and faithful
ness to his responsibilities and duty,
represent it than can and will Mr.. Brews-
ter. There is not a man in the Demo
cratic party in the district, who has con-
tributcd more in time and effort to Demo
cratic success than has Mr.. Brewster.
Though fighting an uphill fight in the
campaigns of 1918 and 1920, Mr.. Brews-
ter carried on and in view of the results
generally all over the, ept;Te country, the
Democratic vote in the 18th district can
be considered a most favorable one. 1t
is a significant thing that Mr.. Brewster
ran We'll with his ticket in the various
I~counties of the district and the failure of
the Democrats to elect can be attributed
to no weakness of his. By all rules Of
politics he is entitled to and should have
the Democratic nomination for Congress
in the 18th district this year.

In Mernoriam.

Deep sorrow has overshadowed a
home. A shining light has gone from
it's midst, and left vacancy which
never can be filled. Mr.. Elvy Will
liams has gone from earth, and those
to whom he was so dear can see his
face no more. They can only go to
the silent tomb and there reflect that
the cold ground has covered all that
remains on earth of that dear m to
whom they have SO often gone, for
advice end comfort.
The subject of this sketch was born
December 2, 1897, and departed this
life May 18th, 1922, aged "a years, 5
months and % days.
During his we'll spent life, he was
an exemplary man, and all who knew
him loved end respected him. He
seemed to be one of the few men who
had no enemies.
In the year 1920, he was united in
marriage to Miss Ef1e Charlton, with
whom he live most happily during the
remainder of his life; and she who
had been a blessing to him while liv-
ing watched over and soothed him in
his dying hours; to her time must
bring the soothing balm.
Mr.. Williams was injured by a train
in st. Louis. He was in a truck and
the train ran into the truck and killed
two men and two were wounded. Mr..
Williams was taken to the hospital
Thursday where he died that night.
He had just left his home near Vulcan
two weeks ago.
He was brought back and his body
laid to rest in the Sutton Cemetery.
Rev. William Sutton conducted the
funeral.
He leaves his parents, wife and
child and brothers and a host Of
friends.
May God bless his wife and child
and when he calls them home may
they be ready to meet him where they
will never part again.
Sadly missed by all who knew him.
His friend,
MYRTLE REED.

Stategic Retreat To
 Shorten Extended Front

An interesting phase of the Last Battle of Bungn Run took place early yesterday when Gen. Tennison executed a successful stategic retreat in the face of a superior force to shorten his lines and strengthen his position.
 After thoroughly entrenching in q series of dugouts along the heighths running through the church and Tabernacle meeting, he turned his guns on the circuit court and forced Gen. Von Rogers to retreat after his trenches and barb wire entanglements were smashed to pieces by one of the heaviest artillery poundings by shells filled with high explosive church members ever seen on this front. After Generals Rog- CTS and Cochran had withdrawn their battered armies to rest up replace their lest equipments. the armies of the state and eoun- ty opened q heavy artillery fire with their long range guns using deadly gas shell filled with bad checks. which quickly killed his credit, They then moved up their lighter field guns and laid down terrific harrage of bill collectors behind which the army of deputy sherifl's went over the top and marched in overpowering numbers with tHe grim determination to captufe the entire Bungonian army Or leave their bones to bleach among the peoples. Just as they start ed to signal for the. barrage to cease so they could surround the Bungonians and march them to the prison camps. Gen. Bungo laid down dense smoke screen, be- hind which he successfully re- tired. The advance detachments of the sheriff's forces have not yet got in touch with Bungo's s rear guard. but the intelligence department of their army believe he has shortened his lines and is now occupying.a strong position beyond the llindenburg (Okla. ) Line. Bungos Run.
