i Everybody Damning the Tariff.

| The McCumber Tariff bill, which is
the Fordney bill with 2,057 amend
ments, drags it's weary way in the
Senate, daily arousing new opposition
and antagonism from men Of all
shades OF political opinion; from the
Republican, Independent and Demo-
cratic press, from business men, in
Guiding manufacturers and importers;
from farmers, and almost every ele-
ment possessing intelligence and with
any understanding of economic prin-
ciples.
The constitutionality of the provi-
sion delegating authority to the Exc
cutive to fix rates has been attacked
by such great constitutional lawyers
as Senator Walsh (Dem., Mont.) and
Senator Pomerene (Dem., Ohio, and
by one Of the foremost authorities on
the tariff, Senator Underwood (Dem.,
Ala.,) but the Senate has already
shown its contempt for the Constitu-
ton by confirming Senator Smoot
and Representative Burton as memr
bers Of the War Debt Funding Com
mission.
There is scarcely schedule in the
bill that is not subject to attack in the
nature Of an exposure of special pri-
vileges granted to the big interests.
The Packers Trust is we'll provided
for. The Payne .Aldrich bill put one
and half cents pound on all fresh
meat. In the pending bill it is three
and half cents pound on beef and
veal, with lamb at five cents pound.
Swine now on the free list, Is given
the rate ne-half cent a pound and
fresh pork also is on the free list at
three- quarter cents a pound. Sheep
are taxed at 80 head. But there has
besn no change in the rate on cattle
on the hoof which the packers import
from South America, and frozen
meats are barred from competition.
These are typical of the protection
afforded the big interests.

The London Underground railway
was the first of all railways to travel
exclusively underground, 1t was
opened for traffic January Q, 1868, the
terminus at that time being Earring

porary writer described as "a family
vault on large scale, with series
of hip-baths introduced into it diagon
ally for light and ventilation. The hip
baths are lined with glazed tiles and
to keep their resemblance to their pro
totype, we find the leakage drained of
at the lower end into a vessel some
thing like soap dish. A dense fog
filed the place when | was there. and
as the people waiting for their trains
We're seen wandering up and down the
platform one might have imagined
them ghosts Of the great unwashed
condemned to linger in sight of those
layatories they neglected in their NOR

Murderer Free; Victim Still Dead.
tst. Louis Times.

~
The freeing of Samuel A. Cheatham
from the Mis- souri, penitentiary after
he had served but 10 years of a life
sentence for cold-blooded murder is
difficult to reconcile with present, de-
mands of justice and the needs of
society.
Cheatham's crime had in it nothing
of excuse. The slayer was mentally
sound, possessed of a good education,
acquainted with the requirements of
living, and accustomed to the best
of environments and associa tions.
He went forth to rob-armed to kill if
resisted. He slew the shopkeeper
who hesitated to obey his commands,
then coolly hid the body and pro-
ceeded to loot the place. Young in
years, Cheatham had the methods of
the most hardened criminals.
To be sure, powerful influences
sought his liberation. His prison rec
ord was good. He is expected to
make use of his freedom in fitting
himself for useful career. But his
victim is still dead; the sorrow brought
to that victims family is unassauged.
1t is not easy to believe that justice
has been satisfied in this case.

Increase in Salary Demanded, but Not
Paid.
fEminence wave,

B. M. Smith, of the north part of
this county, was here last week and
while here filed his account with the
county court asking for more salary
as prosecuting attorney. Smith was
elected to this Office last election and
has been drawing pay since January,
1921. He claims additional pay on the
strength of a law passed some time
ago increasing the salaries of prose-
cutting attorneys. The court refused
the account and continued the case
on the grounds that he had not proven
to it that he was entitled to more
salary or that he had rendered SER
vice.
Mr.. Smith spent several days here
last week. 1t was his first visit to the
county seat since the closing of the
March term of court. Current River
got pretty high while he was here
and it delayed his departure for home
somewhat. He will most likely be
down again at the adjourned term Of
circuit court in this month. Smith
has been drawing a little over 800 90
a month and now asks for 500 90.
The court allowed him $91,67 for his
April salary.
There are people who would like to
know just what is necessary for a
prosecuting attorney to do to earn
his salary since the office is placed in
a strictly salary class.
The action Of the court will prob
ably determine what is equitable in
the matter.

Another Muzzle for the Press.
lFron Liberty.

While we are not in the least in
favor Of betting and gambling, we
believe that the anti gambling bill
which is pending before the United
States Senate is really an antipress
measure and aims q direct blow at
the freedom Of the press, and there
fore ought not to be passed. We
agree with the Washington Post in
the following comments on this bill:
In opposing the the bill befose the
Senate to prohibit newspapers from
publishing betting odds Or anything
about wagers won Or lost, Postmaster
General Hays pertlnently calls atten-
ton to the sstrong tendency Of late'
toward additional curtailment Of the
freedom Of the press; and 1t is mat.

fears, the credulity, and the selfish

Perhaps no better definition has
ever been given of the trend of these
times, and coming frem the source it

the day-it is entitled to and should
receive the earnest consideration of

OF Judging the significance of present

From Alabama this propaganda is
going to cross over into Tennessee,
thence to other states, until finally we
will see presented to the country a

programs"

How the Republicans Save Us Money.
missouri state Journal.

missouri state Journal.)
In January the President announc-
ed to the country that through eco
Monies effected by the administration,
there had been saving for the first
six months of the fiscal year, of $780,
10000. Certain members of Con-
gress we're unkind enough to demand
proof Of these savings, SO on Febru-
ary resolution was introduced in
Congress asking for details. Now,
after delay of three mouths, we
have those figures in a report from
Director OF the Budget Dawes. The
document abounds with such state
ments as ga part Of these reductions
are simply postponed expenditures"
the sums named represent reduc-
tions some of which are realsavings,"
etc, etc.
Small wonder that Representative
Byrns calls the report "budget bunkn
and demands to know where Director
Dawes gets his claim for q saving OF
$4,000 on the the 0salaries of Com
gressmen." Small wonder that the
House and galleries roared with
laughter when attention was called to
the fact that Dawes claimed saving
OF 81 800 authorized to be paid to the
widow Of the late Senator Proctor, the
reason forsuch "saying'' being that the
widow Of Senator Proctor Is dead and
there is no one to whom the $7 500
could be paid.
Itwould be rare administration
and rare director Of the budget who
could not "saven in cases like these.
And yet the administration goes be-
fore the nation and has the audacity

HaIcyon DAYS.

According to old mythology Alcyone,
or Halcyone, the daughter Of Aeolils,
married Ceyx. Ceyx was drowned and
Aleyone, on learning Of his fate, threw
herself into the sea. The gods were
moved by the tragedy Of the young
lovers; they brought them back to life
In the form Of halcyons, Or kingfishers'
ana they decreed that for the seven
days from December % to December
20, the sea should remain calm while
the seabirds built their nests upon IT.
Those seven days, the last Of the year
are therefore, called haIcy0n days,

The Serpent's Slime Touches Hyde.

missouri State Journal)
Not much has been heard of Arthur
M. Hyde in the last few days. The
Goldstein scandal has been of such
great proportion that little else poll
tical has been talked of. 1t should
not be forgotten, however, that the
Governor occupies his own small
niche IN the scandal; that the Gov
ernor himself, has been touched with
the slime of the serpent. Here is his
own statement: "I did not indorse
Goldstein for appointment as Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue in st. Louis,
but did agree to it." And then the
Governor goes on and attempts to
explain that because he did not APP
prove of Goldstein's connection with
St. Louis municipal and state affairs,
he was willing to see him given feds
eral job carrying powerful patronage.
In other words, Governor Hyde,
because he was opposed to Goldstein,
looked with favor on his elevation to
better job. Goldstein, had he been
confirmed collector, would not have
made the race for denomination for
Circuit Clerk in st. Louis and stood
fair chances of receiving a mighty
fine licking from the hands of the
same voters who, once before, had
soundly trounced the "Courthouse
ring" The federal post offered Gold
stein long tenure of security and
fine chance to build up new ma
chine; the race for denomination
presented possible defeat. And yet
Hyde, according to his own confes-
sion, agreed to his nomination for the
federal post although he did not ap
prove of it.
What kind oflogic is this, Governor?
Is this sample of the clean politics
Of which you love to pirate? When
one Of the machine politicians you
profess to hate gets in dire trouble,
is it your habit to fight him by assist
ing him?

Important Piece of Road Neglected.
tFarmington Times.)

Harrington Times.)
The Times desires to again compli-
ment the st. Francois County Court,
as we'll as the road overseers of this
county, on the really excellent condi-
tion of the roads in all parts of the
county. Perhaps never before were
the roads throughout this county in
such aplendid condition as they are at
present, Immediately after the pass
ing of winter. There is one strip of
road, however, or rather several small
pieces of road in this county, between
Middlebrook and Pilot Knob, that has
evidently been overlooked, and is in
very great need OF repair.
The writer has but recently learned
that any part of that road is in this
county, butit is really fact that that
section of road winds along the
boundary line between this and Iron
county for several miles, first in one
county then in the other, and perhaps
it is this very condition that has caus-
ed that strip of road, important
though it is, to have been neglected,
as it will require the united efforts OF
both st. Francois and Iron counties in
order to put it in proper repair. 1t
would be useless for either county to
repair their parts of that road with
out the cooperation of the other
county, in order to secure finished
product.
The facts are, however, that there
are perhaps two or three miles OF
such road, perhaps mostly in Iron
county, that is in greatest need of re
pair. In many places its very founda-
ton has broken through, leaving it in |
condition for rapid deterioration, and |
even now, with heavy rains, such |
places are calculated to make an auto
mobile, or even team, hesitate be-
fore entering them. Comparatively |
little work on such scars would now
repair them, but if they are permitted
70 60 for while longer without at
-ention the work of restoring them
will be much greater.
The Times would suggest to the |
County Court that it wonld perhaps |
% good idea If they would get in
ouch with the Iron County Court
with the idea of corporation in the
'epair of this road, which is very
important and much travelled high
way. The Iron County Court would
doubtless be willing to cooperate in
'uch reconstruction, as that road is
u great Importance to that county.
This road, from Pennington to Mid
ilebrook, all of which lies in this
county, is in splendid condition, and
t places needless handicap on such
EXCELLENT work to have almost i'm
,assable barriers thrown into it on
ne other end.

Stirring Up Resentment.

In an editorial Chattanooga Daily
Times, under the caption, Sunday
Blue Laws for Alabama we find an
excellent article that goes to the root
of this whole compulsory Sunday OBJ
servance question. The editor claims
that the present movement in Amer.
lea on the part of certain class of
legal religionists who favor drastic
Sunday laws In the hope OF bettering
conditions in the world, is really MAX
ing things worse. He says:
ssInstead of bettering the sentiment
of the classes who thus regard Sun
day as having been made for man and
not man for Sunday, this legislation
is going to create sentiment and ac-
centuate the feeling, already acute, of
revolt against arbitrary and oppres-
isive laws put upon the country in the
past ten years.

OF Columbia University, New York,
speaking to the faculty Of that insti-
tuition the other day, called attention

public that the hour Is approaching
when there may come serious mani-
festation Of popular disregard of con-
stituted authority. He spoke of the
