coxEY NOW MOTORS

Jacob S. Coxey. who gained fame
by leading an army of the unemploy-
ed from Ohio to Washington many
years ago, was recently fined for
speeding in his auto. Soon after his
Washington escapade, Coxey got
down to business and made a lot of
money. The same energy and organ
izating ability that enabled him to
form and lead his "army" also made
it possible for him to accumulate a
fortune. Almost any agitator who
has the ability to agitate successfully
could, if he would, establish an in
dustry which would furnish employ
ment for those he is trying to make
dissatisfied with industrial condi-
tions.

MERCHANT MARINE VERY
ESSENTIAL IN TRADE

Washington, Dec. 12.-"One thing
is as certain as death and taxes"
says the Republican Publicity Asso-
citation, through its President, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne. Jr., And that is
this: Tf the Democrats Of the SEN
ate should succeed in killing the
foreign trade, particularly the export
side, will record terrific slump.
And the moment the figures are
made public the Democrats party
will turn right around and blame 1t
to the protective tariff. A tariff bill
which protects agriculture and does
not protect manufacturing soon des-
troys the domestic market for the
products of the farmer. A bill which
protects manufacturing and does not
protect agriculture soon sows the
farm acreage to wild mustard, Cana
dian thistles, and Johnson Grass. A
policy which protects both farm and
factory, but places the work of deliv-
ering their purchases and products in
the foreign trade in the hands of for
eign shippers ties the hands of both
so far as that trade is concerned.
1--WE have had ample experience
with every one of these situations
We saw Japan squeezing the last
drop of blood from Pacific Coast
shippers during the war, when
Japan had a monopoly of the Pacific
trade. We saw Great Britain writing
up the rates for all the traffic would
stand in prewar years with Ameri-
can trade; and Great Britain took
full toll of us for transportating
troops to Europe during the war We
saw farmers at the mercy of foreign
competition after the war. and before
the emergency tariff law was passed
by the republicans.
IF the Democrats in the Senate
balk the ship aid bill it will mean
that the $3,000000,000 which that
party saddled onto the people of this
country to pay for a merchant marine
completed too late to function in the
war, and which is now costing $780,
OOO, 900 annually to function, will have
been practically thrown away. II Great
Britain, Japan. and other maritime
nations again get control of our
freight transportation-say 80 per
cent of it-they will be carrying close
to six billion dollars worth of our
goods coming and going, and since
the average cost of transportation is
reckoned at s per cent of the value
OF the goods. on the average. that
means an annual cost to us Of $780,
000,0 0U This does not take into
consideration the obstacles which
! foreign trade competitors who also
carry our goods will interpose to
handicap our export expansion.
Ship aid is as necessary as tariff
protection. Without both we would
have a one-legged nation in the for
eign trade .

FARM AND BUSINESS

E. T. Meredith, formerly secretary
of agriculture, undertook to tell some
fundamentals of the relations of bust
ness and farming in an address before
the New York Advertising club last
month. Among other things he illus
trated the connection between de-
depression in agriculture and business
failures.
By chart he showed that there is a
relationship between the average
yearly farm production and the aver
age yearly number of farm failures
to prove that when agriculture drops
the number of failures in business in
creases and that when agricultural
production swells the number of bust
ness failures decreases.
Mr.. Meredith also undertook to cor,
rect a mistaken notion on the part of
many people that the farmer receives
practically all of his annual income
in a few months Of the year. From
government reports he showed that
the farmer seldom receives as high as
10 per cent of his total annual in
come in any one month of the year.
He attacked also an idea harbored
by manufacturers that in times of ag-
ricultural depression the farmer is
unable to purchase any of their pro-
ducts. Printers Ink, New York
quotes him in this regard as asking
the question: Does large railroad
system, when business is off or the
road running at loss, if you wish,
stop buying rails, paper, pencils. and
all other kinds of supplies?" Then
he said: Agriculture, like the impor.
tant railroad. system, in good times
or in bad times cannot go out of exis-
tence." Necessary purchases, means
orders amounting to more than ten
thousand million dollars per year for
supplies of all kinds

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
(From the Charleston News and


Courier.)
We do not believe that the people
of the country in general want to see
immigrants pouring into the United
States in thousands at this time. A
plentiful supply of cheap labor might
help certain industries just now. but
only yesterday we were in the midst
Of serious unemployment crisis
There are other considerations, more
over. more important than those OF
a purely Industrial nature. We have
not been able to absorb and properly
assimilate the foreigners we now
have, and until we have done this
or any rate learned how to do 1t, we
had better not add new hundreds Of
thousands to the number of the un-
assimilated.

Adelbert P. Gibney across the face. There was a roar, as of an explosion in his ears, and he fell forward on his face. He had a confused notion that when he fell the post came with him.
 For nearly a minute he lay there. semi-conscious, and then something warm, dripping across his face, reused him. He moved. and found that his feet were free, though his hands were still bound to the post, which lay ex- tended along his back. He rolled over and glanced up. Captain Scraggs was shrieklng. By degrees the bells quit ringing in the commodore's ears, and this Is what he heard Captain Scraggs yelling:

The orioinaI of "she.~

One of the quaintest sights ever seer in a London salesroom was witnessed a few weeks ago when the collection of Oriental antiques gathered by the late Lord Amherst was put up for sale. There were hundreds of Egyp- tian gods Seated cats, with rings in their back and scarabs engraved upon their foreheads, hawks and geese had their place among the deities. There was also a very fine sepulchral figure of a woman in mummy form in sycamore wood painted white with eyes in black, described as ga mummy with pleasing countenance." This woman was named "She" as being the original of Sir Rider Haggard's heroine Mummif1 ed birds. fish, cats, and calves were offered. An Egyp- tian woman's toilet articles, thousands of years old, were also offered and many other similar things.

Planet Without Oxygen.

According to the spectrOscoplc studies made at the Mount Wilson ob- servatory of the light received from Venus, no oxygen-absorption lines are found. This indicates that there is no oxygen or water vapor in the outer atmosphere of Venus, and furthermore that the reflected light of the sun must have penetrated to a consider able depth.
 It therefore appears necessary to att tribute the great brightness of Venus to some other cause than that of high reflective power of water-vapor clouds. and this apparent absence of oxygen must be considered in connection with speculations as to the conditions of the planet.-Popu1ar Mechanics Mag aZine.

 "Hooray," yelled Mr.. Gibney, and dashed at the post which held Captain Scraggs prisoner. He struck it pow erful blow with his shoulder and Scraggs and the post crashed to the ground. In an instant Mir. Gibney was on his knees, tearing at Scraggs' rope shackles with his teeth. Five minutes later, Captain Scraggs' hands were free. Then Scraggs did like service for Gibney.
 gie II were bursting around them every second or two, and it seemed as If they must be killed before they could make their escape.
 As they tore along through the jungle path Mir Gibney's good right eye (his left was obscured) detected two savages crouching behind a clump of coco palms.
 "There's the king and Tabu-Tabu,' D yelled Scraggs. Let's round the beg gars up."
 Sure" responded the commodore 'WeIl need 'em for hostages if we're to get that black coral. We'll turn 'em over to McGuffey."
 'Td better ease up a minute, sir," said the mate to MT. McGuffey. 1.-The guns getting fearful hot"

 McGuffey once more sat down on the cabin venti1ator. He pointed dumbly to the beach, and there, pad ding off to the Maggie IT,. were two naked cannibals and two naked white men in a canoe. Five minutes later they came alongside. McGuffey met them at the rail, and he smiled and licked his lower lip as the trembling monarch and his prime minister, in re- sponse to a severe application of MT. Gibney's hands and feet, came flying over the rail. MT. Gibney and Captain Scraggs followed.
 I'm much obliged to you, Mac" said Mir. Gibney, striving bravely to appear jaunty. "One of your first shots came between my legs and cut the rope that held me, and banged me and the post I was tied to all over the lot. A frag- ment of the shell appears to have taken away part of my ear, but I guess I'll recover. We're pretty we'll shook up, Mac, old socks, and a jolt of whisky would be in order after you've put the irons on these two can nibals."

Why do
 women like
 pipe smokers?

We asked many women. One satdS cBecause a man who thinks things out, does them and goes all the way through with anything he starts gen. orally smokes a pipe if he smokes at all-and nearly always he does smoke" '.
 Another replied: "A pipe smoker is more of a home man, it seems to me. There Is no better picture of content ment than a man smoking . pipe in his home after the days work is done:
 "He is more honest, more reliable. more manly" said another-but she was rather young.
 "Pipe-smolers are not 90 jumpy and fdgety, so nervous as non-smok- CTS. They're more easily contented," was the opinion of one woman.
 There were many reasons given by the fair ladies; some of them not very powerful from 8 logical viewpoint. The significant feature of the uues- tionnaire was that the great majority of the women admitted that they do like pipe smokers.
 And just to show that woman is not the only illogical of the two sexes, we asked a number of men why they liked the tobacco they smoked. One said it was strong enough for him. Another said it was mild enough for him-and they were smoking the same brand. All of them had some more-or-less indefinite yeason for Ek- ing certain tobacco, but putting that
