1T is not the Republican policy TO
Iegislabe for any privileged class" de-
clares the party's publicity associa-
ton.
This undoubtedly is true of the
party, but so much can not be said
for some of the leaders. These, just
now, are engaged in trying to put over
tariff bill the sole beneficiaries of
which will be the manufacturers. and
a ship subsidy bill for the sole benefit
of the ship owners.
1t is urged by these gentlemen that
scarcely a product that is manufac-
tured abroad but can be imported into
the United States and sold at a price
that will soon put American producers
out of business" If this were true we
should be ashamed to acknowledge it.
But it is not true. 1t is the old story
that had been dinned into the ears
of the American people, especially at
the time OF an approaching congress
election. for half a century. Mean
time we have had high tariffs, low
tariffs and varying tariffs. with new
err, however, a ship subsidy, yet the
country has not been overtaken by
commercial disaster. On the contrary
it has forged ahead and prospered as
has no other country in the world.
For the proposed increased tariff
duty and ship subsidy, the people of
this country would be compelled to
pay. without receiving any CORE
spending benefit. Already they have
paid for the construction of a fleet of
merchant ships. They will not will
ingly pay for their operation. They
have paid in tariff duties for the
building UP of American factories,
which now are able to compete with
any others in the world and they Will
not willingly pay more.
If leaders in congress succeed in
saddling these burdens upon an IN
willing people the entire organization
will suffer for it at the polls.

There is in process of formation in
ST Louis an organization designed TO
curb the powers of the federal gov
eminent by means of an amendment
TO the constitution. The particular
point of attack is declared to be the
governments ability TO tax the states
1t is the old question of state rights
settled by the Civil war. revived in a
new guise. Even tho the orga IMITATION
should succeed in preventing the levy
ing of direct taxes in the states, it
could not stop the collection OF indi-
rect taxes by means OF the tariff and
similar agencies. When situations arise
which the states are unable to handle
they are quick to call on the federal
government. Doubtless they will be
compelled TO accept the bad with the
good. The St. Louis organization
probably is intended primarily to af
ford good paying jobs for its officers
and a small army OF organizers. The
country is full of schemes of that sort.

for music.
Imagine an intense evening, say ten
years from now. The walls of the
room would be a screen for color
harmonies played turnout the evening
by an expert operators at a color
organ. A pianist at an ordinary must
cal piano would accompany the must
clan. Perfume breezes. melting from
one scent to another, would be waited
thru the room by electric fans. A
taste organ of the latest assortment of
bootleg harmonies would be operated
by the guests.
Thus, would all senses, except
touch, be provided for. Perhaps
sameple of nutmeg crater for piquant
contrast, could be passed around. This
may seem a fantastic picture. But,
remember, the color organ is here.
The perfume keyboard is ready for a
master composer. And in ten years?

Oh, SO long are twenty years!
Twenty years TO work and wait,
Twenty years to battle fate.
Twenty years to fame to climb.
Seems too long stretch of time.
When at last success appears,
Swift were all those twenty years
And their many hardships seem
But the passing Of a dream.
