The Benedict
By BERTON BRALEY

by YIN DIlALh1
Sometimes, when 1 think of my
bachelor days,
When l was as free as the air,
Without anybody to question my
ways,
Or ask me the why and the
where;
heave just a wee little bit of a
sigh,
For days tht are pleasant to scan.
cut quite swath in those seasons
gone by,
But now-Im a Family Man.
And then" 1 consider, my soul
was my own;
did what 1t pleased me to do.
My cares of today we're completely
unknown,
My frets and my worries we're few.
No wife and no children for me to
support,
l roved with the bachelor clan,
All then I was truly a free-handed
sport,
But now-Tm a Family Man.
Yes, often think of those days with
delight,
When l was a bachelor free;
But when / come home from my
labors at night,
And find my kids waiting for me;
And Mary is there at the door with
a kiss,
The same as when wedlock began
I chuckle, TN life nothing's better
than this,
Thank God, I'm Family Man"

DOES TARIFF

Il ASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Why

NV is your rent bill so high?
- Why is your pocketbook
emptied by high costs Of food when
the farmer is facing bankruptcy be-
cause of low prices he gets for the
very same products2
The farmer and The renter may get
a chance to learn just what part the
tariff plays in these questions.
In all the farm States west of the
Mississippi River the farmers will
soon be given schooling in the tariff
If the research division Of the Fair
Tariff League carries through its
program. One million copies of the
story of the tariff are to be circulated.
if this plan is carried out.
Shows High Costs
Through Government statistics the
league shows clearly the tariff bill is
taking $4,000, 900 year from
American consumers The farmer is
getting a few millions out of this,
while New York financial interests
and highly protected manufacturers
are getting most of the remaining
billions. The consumers, including the
farmers, are paying in high rent costs,
nigh clothing costs, high food costs.
They are paying through the sugar
gouge, and SO on.
This undertaking Of the league Is
one. Of the most stupendous tasks Of
this character ever attempted.
Builds Up Problem
Incidentally, this work Is building
up a hard problem for President Coo
lidge and the Republican leaders in
Congress They want to dodge the
tariff gouge In the next Congress, but
this school plan will tend to make
1t difficult. The consumers and farm
ers may want to know more. and the
more they learn, the more they may
demand relief. And to give relief will
not only show up the pluPderers in
public life, but those in private life

are particularly priced because they
come in big amounts.
