In this connection the recent state
ment of Elisha Ice. vice-president Of
the Pennsylva MIA, is recalled. He told
n correspondent that the electrifca-
ton OF tho Pennsylvania between
New York and Washington would come
much sooner than most people antici-
pated. He said his statement was a
guess and that nothing along that
line had been determined by the rail-
road company. but he was confident
that electrif,cation would come at a
comparatively early date.

veloped by the new company Will be

food products and cotton which they
often sold at ruinous prices, while
they bought their manufactured
goods from the North or from for
eign countries. That policy kept
the South impoverished. The want
of factories limited the market for
the products Of the farm. With the
establishment and extension of man.
ufacturing industries and the conse-
quent building up of a larger town
population, there will be nearer,
more constant, a more dependable
and a more profitable market for
the products of agriculture. These
are facts which no thoughtful
Southern business man will ques-
ton. Yet his representatives in
Congress oppose the protective tar
if which helps to build up Ameri-
can manufactures, and propose in
case the Congress shall once more
become Democratic, to repeal the
protective tariff recently enacted.
This should be kept in mind by
every Southerner when he goes to
the polls in November. The voter
who wishes the South to be self
reliant in industry and who wishes
to keep in his own section of the
country money heretofore sent OUT
side to purchase manufactured
goods, should take care to mark his
ballot for a candidate who is ex-
pressly and unqualifiedly pledged to
the support of tariff policy which
will insure the stability of those
factories already established in the
South and constantly add to their
number.

PEANUT POLITICS
BY OUR SENATORS
Man Who Flatters Himself With
Thought That He Is of Presi-
Dental Size Resorts to
Ward Politics

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The
people of the west who are now be-
ing deluged with copies of a state
ment by Senator Robert L. Owen,
charging the defation procedure
upon the Republican party, should
be interested in reading a con-
flicting statement made by Senator
Owen in 1920. Speaking in Sep
TENDER 1922, Senator Owen says:
1.-THE responsibility Of the Repub-
lican party for the great industrial
depression we have suffered is
thoroughly well established and
must be acceded by every man with
an open and just mind who loves
the truth first and party success
second"
On November 16, 1920, long be-
fore the Republican party had come
into control of the national adj
ministratidn, Senator Owen adj
dressed letter to M. l.. Requa of
1870 Broadway, New York, in which
he said:
"The great central banks of
America and the Federal Reserve
banks have been debating credits
for the last twelve months. 1t has
resulted in debating the market
price of government bonds, crushing
the price of many sound securities
and bringing some commodities,
like wool, down to a price below
the possible cost of production.
The effect of defation is shown on
the deposits of individuals in the
banks of New York City which
November IL, 1919, were &c.
313,9998,000; while on November
10, 1920, they had been reduced to
$4,916,375,000, a loss of deposits
in New York City of about ST.
1000, 900, 000."
Thus, over his own signature, in
November, 1920, Senator Owen de-
elared that the defation had then
been going on for twelve months
when a majority of the Federal
Board were Democrats and a Demo-
;ratic Secretary of the. Treasury
vas Chairman of the Board and an
'ther eminent Democrat was Gov
,rnor of the Board.
Now for the purpose of party
advantage, and in violation of the
ruth, Senator Owen declares that
he responsibility of the Repub-
leans party is thoroughly well
established

Necktie Party Needed
The most brutal assault that has
been recorded in local police re-
cords for many years took place
early yesterday morning at a ID
street house when Florence Brooks
was slashed across the face with a
sharp edged weapon, probably a
razor, the cut extending from the
cheek bone, through the mouth to
the point of the chin, completely
severing through the cheek. Nine
or ten stitches were necessary to
close the wound, which bled pro-
fusely and nearly resulted in a
toll of life. News of the assault
was at once communicated to the
officers and the country hereabouts
was secured all day yesterday for
one w. j. Higgins, who it is said,
is accused by the woman of doing
the cutting. Details of the occur
renee are lacking, but it is said Hig-
gins had recently threatened her
and sometime ago he was found
guilty of beating the woman and
was heavily fined, serving out part
of the time in the county jail

There Il Hope -
Hope, a small town in British
Columbia, is the scene of great
excitement as a result of the re-
ported discovery of immensely rich
gold ore about eight miles away.
William Bradley and John Viking,
who made the discovery, but who
refuse to give the exact location,
brought in a sample of ore that
assayed $3.50 in gold and silver.
The prospectors say the vein is 10

the story, according to the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal-Press

pector told a DIR. Cox Of the dis
covery and gave him a map showing
where it was, in consideration of
medical treatment. The Chinaman
returned to China and DR.. Cox

papers fell into the hands of

There are four separate surveying
crews. in the field and the surveys
are being rapidly completed. Par
ticularly gratifying is the survey
over what is known as the Thou
sand Springs summit, the line hav-
ing a safe margin under a two per

out expensive grading. The maps
are to large extent completed and
the company will soon be in posi-
ton to let its grading contracts.
The townsite of Riverside has
been surveyed and plated and will
be filed in the immediate future.
Reports that contract has been
let for grading are not correct.
However, several large contractors
have expressed their desire to bid
for the work, and such is their con-
fidence in the success of the road
that they have stated their willing
ness to take large proportion of
the contract price in the stock of
the company.

There is an insidious movement
under way to bring about the APP
pointment of Eugene Mayer, Jr. as
the successor of w. p. G. Harding
as director of the Federal Reserve
banks. 1t is to be hoped that the
attempt proves futile. Mr.. Harding
is Democrat, appointed by DEM
ocratic administration, and as he
has proven to be about the only one
of the many subalterns of the Will
son administration that was really
qualified for the place that he filled,
it is right that he should be held in
service as lone example for the
Democrats to point to with pride.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Harding
has proven his worth to the country
and he should be retained in SER
vice. He is qualified, square, and
above all, has the courage of his
convictions. Eugene Meyer is not
big enough to fill the place in the
highly acceptable manner of Mr.
Harding; and he is identified with
interests that are inimical to the
good of the vast majority of the
people of this country. To instate
Meyer in the place Of Harding
would be most grievous blunder

to the state job-holders on a re-
cent occasion: "You birds have
got to get down to brass tacks and
do something towards retrenchment,
SO that We may enter into the cam
paign and show the dear peepul that
We are great little economizers. +"
This was a jolt, you understand,
that plainly indicated that the gov
ernor had general idea that it
would not hurt to lop off a few
salaries of some of the many para
sites that are fattening at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers and it
caused some of the statesmen" to
keel over with nervous prostration
but they rallied and with, alta,

minutes later the bunch rounded
together and it was unanimously
agreed that crazy people wouldn t
be able to do anything more than
loudly yelp, to which none would

to do under the circumstances, was
to cut down on the appropriation
made to feed the nuts in the bug
house. And that very thing was
done!
