We in California in the days I'M
mcdlately preceding the Civil War,
and although he disclaims having
taken any leading part in the stir
ring events that led up to Califor-
mas being kept in the Union we
knew for sure that he was a good
second.
Judge Hartman now, at nearly,
if not quite ninety years of age, is
living at Ann Arbor, Mich, where
he served his city and state with
distinction for mAhy years, loved,
honored and revered.
This story would not be COM
plete without mentioning Mrs.
Robertson who was a granddaugh-
ter of the Rev. Leonard Worces-
ter, Peacham's first settled min
lister. Her father, the Rev. Samu-
ell A Worcester, went from Peach
am as a missionary to the Chero-
kae Indians in northern Georgia
and Tennessee in 1925. He first
settled in Brainerd, Tenn, where
Mrs. Robertson was born in 1926.
When the Indians land was stolen
from them and they were moved
beyond the Mississippi, the Wor-
cesters went with them, and in
1850 she man led Rev. VIM. S.
Robertson, a missionary to the
Greeks.
In the course of time Mrs. Rob
ertson was given the degree Of
Doctor of Philosophy in recogni-
ton of her knowledge Of the Greek
language and literature-the first
woman in America to receive this
honorary degree. Her daughter
Miss Alice Robertson, is now Rep
reSentative in Congress, going
from Muskegee, Oklahoma. Dean

in Thetford, VT, is a second cou-
sin of Miss Robertson.
Among the boys of my day who
have gone out from "the old town
on the Hill" none perhaps better
deserve mention than George b.
Mcclellan Harvey.
Our Ambassador to England
When not far from seven years
of age | well remember the day
when the word came down "the
road" that Dune Harvey's folks
had a boy, and that boy was
named George b. Mcclellan, be-
cause our neighbor Harvey held
the opinion that Little Mac" was
the greatest soldier the world had
even seen or probably ever would
see. Georges father was of Scotch
ancestry and his mother was
daughter of Sine Varnum, one of
the famous athletes of his day,
specializing in wrestling.
| well remember of hearing it
said that he and Capt. Seth Wiley
Wrestled together on every possible
occasion from boyhood during all
tEeil active lives, but could never
settle as to which was the best
man. Not so with George He al
ways knew who was the best man
and never failed to assert it.
The boy grew apace and had
the usual number of scrapes that
fell to the lot Of promising boys.
Three things were quite noticeable
about George--long slender fing-
err, big round eyes and a head un-
usually high above a pair of very
large ears.
AT the village school | remember
nothing in particular in relation to
HIM. But at the Academy he dis
closed abilities well above the av-
eraQe, and if he had had will to
apply himself, | always thought, as
student, he would have been

do not now recall what his marks
were, but according to my recol-
lection lack of application made,
them just fair. y
In our debating society at|
Peacham Academy when George|
took any part at all it was always
a leading one-he would never
play the game for the sake of the
game.
At about eighteen years of age
he left town to become reporter
on the Springfield Republican.
However the Springfield Republi-
can type of mind did not long,
York was then sought, then Chill
cago, then back to New York,
where he became manager of the
then New Jersey edition of the|
New York World. in which capaci-|
ty it has been understood, that he,

in some way, was instrumental, in|
assisting William C. Whitney overI

then let in on some of the deals |
by which the juice was squeezed
out of number of electric roads
in the towns round about New
York, and it is understood, profit

Since that time his career haSI
been more or less of an open book. p

tration."
The republican campaign Is a cam
paign for support OF this record and
Of these policies.
The democratic campaign Is a cam
paign for their population and for
the injection Of more Of the spirit Of
progressiv,ism and the square deal
into government.
II the result of the election is a
sweeping republican victory congress
and the administration will be en-
Couraged to continue in the present
path, and the next two years will be
even more reactionary than the last
two have been.
If, on the other hand, republican
maiorities in house and senate are
reduced substantially, the election will
be interpreted as a warning that these
policies are not approved by the peo-
pie. and that the present admiuistra-
tion, if it expects success in the presi-
Dental election OF 1924. must bring
itself closer to the popular will and
the common interest Of the people.

tariff. That would be q foolish idea,
for the domestic output Of sugar has
not yet been increased by one pound.
- And yet we predict that even
before the new crop Is gathered and
before any new sugar is on the mar
ket the prospective increase In do
mestic sugar will materially lower
prices. The same thing is true of
wool and to even a greater extent"
Let the farmer think about that.
The farmer. with the idea that under
the tariff he will get higher prices,
increases production. The result is
bigger supply which will reduce
prices. That's what the organ of the
tariff bloc says. What. then, does
tho tariff on wool and on sugar do
for the wool grower and the sugar
beet grower?
The tariff wall people didn't talk so
frankly before the farm district con-
grcssmen voted for the tariff law, but
it's perfectly safe now to get the far
mcrs used to the idea that there will
be not even a core for them.
The St. Joseph observer., 1922-11-04
EVEN 10 CENT STORES ARE hit

II only those with money in their
pockets werc held up by tho robber
tariff, that would be enough to raise
a howl about, but it picks on the poor
with the brutality of bandit who
hits his victim over the head because
the victim is broke.
st. Joseph merchants have raised a
cry against tho injustice of this price
hoistng. They are helpless to pre-
vent increased prices as are the peo-
pie who must buy.
Now comes J. y. Monian, general
manager of the Woolworth 1O-cent
stores, to add his voice of protest
against an extorrionate tariff that is
forcing prices in his stores upward.
Mr.. Monian so.s retail prices on
some lines will soar as high as 200
per cent. Some articles will hsve to
be withdrawn from stock because they
have gone up so high. Spoons that
have been selling at two for 5 cents
are soon to he 10 cents. Buyers OF
kitchen and table utensils, brushes,
gloves, hose and the many articles
displayed, In the 1O-cent shops are to
pay toll to the barons who directed
the passage of the tariff and who de-
feated the bonus.
If the people know which side their
bread is buttered, can they support
an administration that Is hand in
glove with profitecrs? The tariff
alone is enough to condemn republi-
canism as now represented at Wash
ington.

THOSE COTTON BLANKETS YOU
HAVE

on your bed you may, IL you are not
heavily endowed with this worlds
goods. have a pair of cotton blankets
made by New England mills OF cheap
cotton imported from India, this sort
Of blanket having been in universal
use for a long time. The cotton is
woven into a coarse cloth which is
then passed over rolls with needlc-like
teeth. This process tears up the sur
face of the cloth and gives it soft
finish.
BY the Underwood law. recently re-
pealed by the Fordney- -McCumber act,
these cotton blankets were subjected
to a nominal tariff tax of 10 per cent
Even at this low rate only a few of
these blankets were entered at the
custom house, and the government
derived but little revenue therefrom.
The Fordney- McCumber law gives the
eastern manufacturer a tariff protec-
tion several times in excess OF the old
rate, thus destroying what little COM
petition remained under the Under
wood law.
These blankets are made mostly by
the Beacon Manufacturing company
OF Connecticut. Sanford G. Kelly,
members of the Boston Stock Ex-
change, who deal in the securities Of
this company state that IN the year
1920 the company charged off from
its inventories an amount equal to its
outstanding average capital for that
year. Even then it showed a profit
after deduction equal to the amount
OF it's entire outstanding preferred
capital, After charging off 1000. 900
from it's liquid assets, 1t showed a sur
plus Of net-quick assets amounting to
s1,SOO,oQ0. Or 50 per cent more than
lts combined preferred and common
stock.
People who buy these cotton
blankets. and that means all Of us
want the manufacturer to prosper
but they naturally resent the pros
tltutlon Of the principle OF protection
to serve the selfish ends OF Its bene-
| floiaries.

Republican legislation comes high.
Under Governor Hyde the general as
sembiy cost the people OF Missouri
$45O,5OO. Under Governor Gardner
the cost was only $269. .9OS.51. III
other words the Republican legisla-
ture cost nearly twice what the DEM
ocratic legislature cost the people. II
you, Mr.. Taxpayer, approve this high
cost legislation which increases your
taxes, then by all means vote the Itc-
publican ticket. But If you want to
change back to the good old days 81

so as to render them non-taxable, 1t
may be assumed that it has equally
protected the remaining income by
large Investments in tax-free securi-
ties. and. Instead Of paying 500, ,OOO,-
600 tax annually on this enormous
income, as was generally supposed, 1t
may have been shaved down to per
cent OF that amount"

not be warranted in all of his infer
cnces but he makes an earnest plea
for publicity with reference to in
comes.

IL JUSTICE TO ST. JOSEPH
MERCHANTS

Just few days ago Joseph w.
Fordney, the apostle of protection,
made speech to a number Of manu-
facturers at banquet in Chicago in
the course Of which he said;
ANY merchant who will state to
the public that he is compelled to ad-
vance the price of his goods because
Of the increased duty provided in the
new act (the FordneY- -MCCumber
tariff is dishonest and untruthful"
Joseph w. Fordncy is one of the
authors of the infamous new tariff.
He was among those who predicted
that the emergency tariff would aid
the farmers. lie comes now to de-
clare that the new tariff will bring
prosperity. That is old stuff
But Mr.. Fordney's statement that
merchants who declare prices Of COM
modities will be advanced because of
the tariff are dishonest and untruth-
full, casts a positive reflection upon
the merchants Of our own St. Joseph,
for three weeks ago this paper in
tcrvlewed the heads Of our leading
stores relative to the effect of the
tariff upon the prices of their goods,
and the unanimous reply of those bus
mess men-men Of high standing, men
whose integrity is unquestioned-was
that prices will be higher. The retail
merchants produced letters from man
ufacturers and importers who stated
that certain articles had already ad-
vanced. The substance Of the inter-
views with them is such as the follow
ing:
"It would be absolutely foolish to
attempt to say that tho Fordney-Mc-
Cumber bill will not increase prices
Next spring will see mems apparel
and women's suitings advanced In re-
tail price from 10 to Is per cent"
MEMS work shirts have advanced
just recently 10 per cent in price"
Gloves in comparatively short
time will be selling to the consumer
at an increase Of from Is to 20 per
cent"
A summary Of letters and kilograms
from manufacturers and importers to
one merchant indicated there would
be an average advance in clothing
prices next year Of 10 per cent.
Any merchant knows that most inn
ported goods are now bought at in
creased prices imposed by the tariff.
Though the full effect Of the tariff
will not be felt until next year, 1t is
going TO be felt. The merchant IS
compelled 70 add the additional
charges being made by both import
ers and manufacturers. They are
helpless and quite unable to escape
| higher prices when their present
! stocks are depleted.
In Justice to our merchants and to
merchants throughout the country,
this paper denounces the insinuation
Of Mr.. Fordney Apart from increas-
ed prices imposed and to be imposed
| by American manufacturers. the in
creased tariff rates on imports make
| 1t clear to any child that prices on
such articles will be higher.

LET THERE BE PUBLICITY

Wisconsin has a Republican con-
gresham, Frear, who seems to feel
that the Immediately pressing ques-
ton IS not whether the taxes on such
concerns as the Standard Oil company
Is reduced or abolished. but whether
the taxes already provided for be col
lected In a letter to Secretary Mel
lon, Mr.. Frear asked the secretary
whether he had invoked Section 220
Of the revenue act Of 1921 (which
provides methods for reaching holders
of surplus when held for the purpose
Of escaping taxation" The various
Standard Oil companies have recently
declared enormous stock dividends,
the New Jersey company having, II is
reported, voted one Of 400 per cent.
Mr. Frear's Idea Is that all this H.
nanclng by this corporation and other
large corporations is for the purpose
OF escaping taxation. The courts have
held that stock dividends are not m
come in ths sense that they can be
taxed as such. 50 It may be that Mr.
Frears Interpretation Of the present
popular policy is the correct one, Mr.
Frear says in his ietteri
IF the income tax Is right IN prfn'
