WOMEN AND THE TARIFF

Women have another probIem-the
tariff. \ big Chicago department
sore announces that the new tariff
bill will bring advances of from 10 to
10 per cent in many things that women
wear. Gloves that have sold for from
Sl.5O to 50 will be raised according
to this merchant, 50 to $50 Dress
goods and toilet articles are sched-
ulcd for advances, merchants contend.
Silk hosiery is another article that will
cost pretty penny more under the
new tariff. And the merchants are
just little worried. With long skirts
the girls are buying n few pairs of bet
ter grade cotton hose to wear around
home" they explain.
IF these high cut shoes are worn
with these long skirts, I'm afraid it's
good night to silk hose" said the head
of the hosiery department of one of
ChicagO's largest stores.

SJESCWPT@E

Every Democrat in the land has his
face to the rising sun and is marching
on. full of hope. The Republican adj
ministration of national affairs during
the past eighteen months supplies us
with all the ammunition we want, and
If we present the facts of Republican
Inconsistency and broken promises
earnestly and fearlessly to the Amer
lean electorate our cause will be sus-
tanned. Every sincere Democrat in
the land is confident of success and all
the signs of the times point unmistak-
ably TO Democratic victory in the bat
tie of the ballots Tuesday. Well in
formed Republicans do not attempt to
deny that the administration of ma
tiOnal affairs by their party since its
return TO power in March, 1921, has
been miserable record of broken
promises, inactivity, inattention and
unreliability. but they say that such
record should not he charged up to the
President, that it has been made by an
inefficient Congress in spite of the eff
forts of the President to get something
done and that the Harding administra-
not Democratic argument but the argu-
ment of the Harding admirers grant
ed that the argument is true. leaving
out of the question what Roosevelt or
Wilson would have done with such
Congress, it constitutes the best rcaS-
on why the Congress should he retired
and Il new one take its place. because
the Republican candidates for Con
gross I'm this campaign, in West Nir-
ginia, at least, are the same who in
part compose the present Congress and
who, as the President and his friends
claim. helped tie up the wheels of gov
ernment and Of business for more than
a year. Shall Senator Sutherland and
Representative Reed be allowed to
continue to impede the efforts of their
President and to block the attempt of
n country To get on its feet after n
most disastrous crisis. or shall they he
retired? The answer to that question
is in part up to liberal and intelligent
class of Republicans, but it is to
greater extent dependent upon the ac-
ton of the Democrats on next Tues
day; if they desire a change, if they
are dissatisfied with the manner in
which affairs have been conducted
since March 1921, if they are not con
tented with business affairs, with the
cattle market the wool market, the
money market, they must go to the
polls next Tuesday aud cast their
votes. The Deity helps no one, who
does not help himself if Democrat
does not go to the election he has no
right hereafter to blame his misfOr-
tunes upon the Republican party
Congress, or anything else; they will
he the result of his own inaction. An
intelligent electorate in North Dakota
has already defeated and retired Sena-
tor McCumber, the author and sponsor
of the McCumber- FOrdney bill the
'Robber Tariff bill we have the OPP
portunity in Calhoun county to help re-
tire Sutherland and Reed, who also
participated In the passage of that
bill, but they cannot be retired unless
the voters go to the polls.

'Of the two evils, always choose the
lesser That maxim is as old as hu
lnanity. The Republican chieftains
are basing their Congressional cam
paign upOn that principle; of all the is
sues which might be brought to the
front, they are compelled to choose be-
tween those which are bad for them
and those which are worse. SO it is
that rather than rest the issue upon
Tie merits and dement's of this Re
publican Congress, they choose rather
to fight upon the issue of standing by
the President" Small and shrinking
as is his popularity, they think it better
to take a chance on that than to rest
their case OH the do-nothing record of
tie Congress. SO now the President
has been induced to write letter to
MOndell praising the record of a Con
gress which even Republican leaders
have repudiated in language almost too
strong to print. Weeks, a member Of
Hardings own cabinet, declared that
Congress had sunk to a new low record
for achievement Wood, Republican
Congressman from Indiana and chair
man of the Congressional Campaign
Committee, said on the floor of the
House i'm q speech that the people
everywhere ARE giving us hell" With
testimony of that sort coming from the
inner circle of rcactionism, is it any
wonder that the campaign leaders
would try to hide the Congress behind
tive skirts of the President, even though
the skirts will be both short and mar
