Tariff Ceases Being
a Paramount Issue.

Every indication is that Tor the
present at least, the tariff on foreign
made products will cease being 4
campaign issue. For the past IS
years the tariff has been important in
campaigns between major parties, the
democrat party taking the revenue
only or low tariff side and the repub-
Iican the high or protective tariff side.
Upon this basis bitter campaigns
were waged. The republican party
has always been successful in captur-
ing the farmer vote on tariff issue
and in consequence, except when
splits occurred was generally victor
ious
Here is the way a modern republi-
can politician sums it up:
Il favor reductions in the tariff ana
in some instances, favor absolute
free trade, particularly on lumber,
being one of the chief commodities the
farmer has to buy.
1.-THE theory OF protective tariff
was all right in its day 1t was de-
signed to stimulate the building up OF
American Industries and to create do
nestle competition but through the
creation Of combinations and monop-
olies, domestic competition no longer
exists.
1--WE need millions added to our
population so there will be no sur
plus of agricultural products. Addi-
tional population will help to solve
the farmers problems. When there is
no surplus then the farmers will get
what their produce is worth. Tariff
on farm products amounts to nothing
nc long as there is surplus
The foregoing is interesting because
it indicates a sympathy for the farm
er and his problems. Whether our
farmers will continue to stand by 4
protective tariff in view Of what has
transpired in the past three years is
an interesting question. Regardless OF
the soundness Of a protective policy
as pertaining to manufacture it has
been quite evident that high tariff
has not helped the farmers.

A Coolidge Motto.

Above the fireplace in the Coolidge
home in Northampton is a framed
verse which the President has adopt
ed as his life motto. The verse, which
might have come out of a Mother
Goose book of jingles, is this:
A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why can't we be like that old bird?

THE GOOD OLD DiRT-ROAD DAYS

THE GOOD OLD DlkT-ROAD DAYS
"A Farmer" writing to Clark Me
Adams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
signs as follows for the good old days
and bad old roads:
I'VE discovered too late that bad
roads are what we wanted. You have
no idea what the difference is out in
the country. Formerly we lived a
quiet life and called the farm our
own. The country road enjoyed
place in our affections. Dust meant
the approach of a friend. 1t is moth
ing like that now. There is roar OF
traffic upon the road, and dust as like
as not means that somebody is COM
ing to steal your watermelons. AS
predatory a horde as ever marched
with Caesar or Sherman Oyerruns the
country. and the farmer dashes from
one front to another trying to protect
his property. ] know one man whose
fruit is so close to the road that he
has to guard it with a shotgun. IL
YOU have a piece of woods you almost
have to build an electric fence around
it to keep the Italians from locating
a still in it. One seldom sees a farm
err in the country any more. Every
body is from the city, and the farmer
is hiding out. You don't know what
night a car loaded with gunner is go
ing TO leave a body in your corn patch
and it is no trouble at all to take your
potatoes out of the ground if you
aren't looking. When | think OF the
good old days of dirt roads and isola-
ton | could bawl like baby"

Roche went out to telephone for his
men and BARLEY walked over to the

looking out at the view.
He placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Pelt, you have a good deal Of work
to do today. 1 want you to find out
all you can about the men who were
at the poker game. Then you must
see that man Lawrence and get his
story. Find out why he stayed be-
hind the others. If you have any
time left, you had better look up in

burglary of last year."

that if the postmaster would give me
the addresses of the men who had been

the list was that of the editor of the

Arriving at the newspaper office, I
found the man 1 sought just going

that 1 had come to ask him some
questions about Slyke, he invited me
to lunch with him.

small dining room found a table to |
ourselves When 1 mentioned the list |
of names, he told me all that he knew. |
A few men, mostly old friends, met |
every week or so to play poker They |
went to Sykes usually because as
he put it, "Slyke had more booze than |
the rest of u.s." The games were
friendly affairs and the stakes low.
When I asked him If Mr.. Lawrence
stayed after the others had gone
home, he replied that he had and that
him to remain, though he did not
