TARIFF THE GOAT

Sugar is selling around $40 hundred and the
tariff is blamed for the price.
As matter of fact tariff is playing no part in
the present cost to the consumer but it is saving
him hundreds of millions year in taxes which
the foreign product must pay to come into this
country.
When sugar goes up to point where the for
egner could knock off his tariff and still sell su-
gar at profit, it is no protection to the beet SUI
gar industry against price cutting by the for
eigner In other words, if the price of sugar IS
81 a hundred, the foreigner can reduce his price
to Sc. pay his tariff and still sell sugar at a
profit He does not do this, however, because
he does not have to as the price of sugar is set
by the law of supply and demand. The tariff
merely protects the American sugar when the
price is so low that without it the sugar indus
try would be wiped out.
If the price of sugar stays at the present flg-
ure it will mean many millions of dollars extra
for western sugar beet growers when the har-
vest comes in next year. If the price OF sugar
does not stay up so that the beet farmer can
make some money, it is going to be impossible
TO secure the raw material that viii enable the
factories to pay him price that will encourage
beet production. It cannot be figured any other
way-Douglas International.
The above from such staunch democratic
paper is Indicative of a conscientious awaken
ing The cattlemen and sheepmen of this state
fully appreciate the benefits of protective
tariff-it has been thoroughly demonstrated to
themIb by actual results.

HOW THE DOLLAR woRsH1ppER SUFFERS

You hear of buy more copper" buy bale
of cotton" "buy more bread, "buy more meat,
and buy more most every old thing and help the
producer, but you seldom hear slogan of "buy
more advertising and help yourself. Apparent
ly every selfish interest feels that the newspaper
is just free omnibus for all hands who wish to
Jump in and ride to their destination without
even thanking the driver. The Sun has never
had much patience with the buy more" drives
selfish business interests have had the nerve to
pull on the public. Show the old general public
how they can use your product at profit and
old G. p is with you. Pleading poverty and beg
ging the public to use what they don't want or
need is disgusting example of the street corner
CRATER with tin cup.
Suppose. we should plead: buy a half a dozen
copies of The Sun each week and help the news
paper business" People would laugh at our beg
gerous plea that they waste their money on what
they did not need and could not USE Adver-
tising "Buy More" Just as a begging PROPOSE
ton isn't American 1t lowers the dignity of an
otherwise honest business and is disgusting
pedantry.
We are willing to admit that The Coconlno
Sun is a good paper, but we want the people to
want it and use it because they need it, not
merely because they want to help worthy bus
mess enterprise.
No business is a real business that must beg I;
a real business is a business that does business
because it sells service where service is needed.
Even worthy service must advise the general
public where it can be found and must keep it up,
for strangers arrive hourly in most progressive
places.
Drives and propaganda so prolific in late
years, are due for slump. The people are now
demanding facts and figures for funds squan-
dered. They demand results instead Of accept
ing pitiful stories from over-salaried singers of
suffering.

GoMPERs, THE POLITICAL LABOR ARTIST

Sam Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has the magnificent nerve of
his whole race boiled down in him. He is dem
ocrat. always was a democrat has done all in his
power at all times to swing the Federation of La
Dor, evdemocratic candidates, is against any and
all republican doctrine; had the keys to the back
door Of the White House during Wilson's admin
istration, and now with his super-Hebrew nerve,
warns the republican party to take no action
relative to the American labor situation of which
HE does not approve. In spite of all this long
nosed money hunter has done the laborlng ele-
ment for in past years while playing the game OF
the democratic party, regardless of the actual
honest interests of honest labor, the republican
party has been the only party that ever gave
labor-real labor-dollar for dollar on sound
basis that would carry on if labor would carry
on despite the activities of chiefs who only
hoped for more trouble that they might spend
more of Iabor'S money helping themselves as ex-
alted officials in sweatless jobs, while Ignorance
and sweat were paying for their official ease
and luxurious comfort

THE SMALL TOWN PAPER

The following interesting editorial was clipped
from the Sunday Ell Paso Herald:
Speaking of the 81 newspapers of Arizona,
Major George H. Kelly, state historian, says
they have performed well in aiding the growth OF
the state and will continue to be prominent
factor in our future development. And so they
have
'"They have prompted the building of schools,
the laying of pavement the building OF roads,
the construction of dams, the settlement OF land,
the development of industries, the building OF
homes, and the encouragement of tourists and
homeseekers to come to their various localities.
ITO do this in the form of news and pictures
they have given literally of their space, every
inch of which has dollar-value, and have spent
their own money besides.
1T has been a labor of love with hardly the
slightest expectation of direct profit for them
selves
and this is true not only of the newspapers
of Arizona, but of New Mexico and west Texas
as we'll. And the sturdiest helpers OF ALL con-
sidering their limited means, are the cheerful,
brave little papers of the small towns. All honor
to them. One wonders if their people appreciate
them at anything like their full worth"
The last sentence of this editorial above con-
tains a sermon.
Ofttimes the editors of small town papers
overhear sighting remarks concerning their pa
per. Sometimes the remarks are made openly.
Notwithstanding these remarks and apparent
lack of appreciation the small town newspaper
must always be cheerful, must always boost =
boost without ceasing.
When the solicitor comes in with wofully
small amount of advertising, the paper still must
boost Boosting in newspaper costs money and
is worth money to the town. The merchant is
the one who profits most because of the boost
ing, but quite few merchants dislike to bear
their share of the burden.
If the newspapers in small towns were to re-
fleet the attitude of some of the merchants, par
ticularly when these merchants are approached
for advertising the editors would be hanged for
high treason

IT'S A SAD OLD WORLD

Bang! And another would-be should-be or
has been husband bites the dust, as Amelia calm
ly hips her weapon and wipes her lipstick on her
boot.
Again Amelia weeps at the cruel hand if the
law places her under arrest charged with having
poisoned mere half dozen or SO of husbands,
as she counts up the money CLEANED from the
hull bunch, mere pittance for all her painstak-
ing planting of Seeding husbands. e
Again all old maid weeps as Cornelia, the IRON
faced, returns from the cremation of her fourth
and last husband, exclaiming "She's had hus-
bands to burn while I've had none"
1t is indeed a sad world.
An aged youth of rs has been made the sub
ject of close scrutiny merely because he had
eight swives-all scattered about the country be-
yond what he felt was the fowl limit, but his
chickens came home to roost. He was kindly,
loving man. While the law says you should love
your fellow man, there appears to be no section
which includes women, especially if you attempt
to attach them in formal way.
What the country needs is more laws against
lawlessness.

JUST REMEMBER 1914

When you have feeling of sympathy for
Germany because of French occupation of the
Ruhr and may be inclined to think France is
dealing harshly with Germany, just glance over
these figures which are not propaganda, but
taken from official reports:
"At Tanlines in one day, August a. 1914, 500
persons were shot. At Louvain on August 23,
1914, 213E persons At Arschot, $50 persons.
Throughout August, 1914, there were continu-
GUS nassacres by the Germans in all the little
villages of the Province of Luxembourg close to
the French boundary. At Ethe $50 persons were
shot, among whom were 80 mothers of families
and 20 children. At Tintignies, 128 persons At
Rossignol, 1112. In these several villages the
number of persons shot exceeds one-tenth of the
population"

THE PENALTY OF DECEPTION

They were finishing up their we'd

course, paid visit to the casino.
For some time they stood hesitat-

II must risk one five-pound note.
Do give me one and will put it upon
the. number of my age"
The husband was inclined to be
skeptical, but, after much grumbling,
he handed over the note, which was
deposited on No. "a. No. 20, however,
proved to be the lucky number, and
the bride gave gasp of depsair.
Serves you right" said her hus-
band, "if you had told the truth you
would have won."
