AS usual the Democratic idea of
prosperity is to plunge the country in
to free trade, close the shops and
factories, admit deluge OF foreign
to producers who have no means Of
getting the money wherewith to pay
for the imported goods.-Omaha Bee.
When, by reason OF the low wages
and the financial situation in Europe,
European manufacturers are able to
undersell American producers, 1t is
shown very conclusively that we are
yet protecting this market from the on
slaughts of foreign goods.-Manu-
fatcurers Record
The McAdoo point OF view seems to
be that it was perfectly proper for
him to accept Mr.. Doheny's money
for the use OF his influence with the
Wilson dministration-until the pub
lie found it out-Fort Wayne Senti-
mel.
Bergdoll is more than draft dodger
and deserter. He is a type of the
most contemplate creatures who ap-
peared in the United States during
the war, and type made more lOath-
some by his wealth-Chicago Tribune.
Here's a crumb of comfort for the
taxpayer. Since 1920 the Shipping
Board has dropped about $500 en-
ployees, effecting an annual saving in
salaries of more than s7,O00,00O.-
Boston Transcript,
Sometimes we have felt that the
taxing system is all wrong. We are
taxed on what we save. Why wouldn't
it be better to tax us on what we
spend; the more we spend, the higher
the rate Marion Star.
DIT. Leyermore has compiled a list
of fourteen things the League OF Ma
tions has accomplished. He ought to
make 1t fifteen and include the s50.-
900 it brought him from Mr.. Box
Kansas City Star.
We just knew Jake lannon's name
would be drawn into this Teapot
Dome thing sooner or later The
Senate Committee had exhausted all
live subjects-Los Angeles Times.
Let us hope that the announcement
that the Mellon tax rates have heen
voted back into the bill means that the
Senate Finance Committee intends to
get action-St. Louis Times.
Mr. McAdoo expressed himself as
very greatly gratfied and surprised by
the vote he got in Georgia. It was
just like getting money from-er-
home.-Portland Oregonian.
The people will judge Congress by
what it has accomplished as the ma
tional legislature, not by what It has
done as grand jury-Omaha Bee

While Danny and Nanny Meadow

But little people like Peter Rabbit,

NEWS LACKING HERE.
Vera Cruz Reports Follow Delay of
Federal Advance.

The State Department lacked today
any advices from it's consular lepre-
sentative at Vera Cruz indicating
that port had been r"occupied by de
la Huerta insurrectionists. Although
Consul Wood was said 10 he in con-
tinuous communication With the de-
partment, he had not reported any
important change in the situation
there since the rebel forces evacuated.
Work of restoring the railroad from
Vera Cruz to Mexico CITY. torn up in
places by rebels, and engagements be-
tween construction gangs and rebel SYM
pathizers along the line. was cited by
department officials as possible exp!ana-
tion of the delay by Obregon military
forces in taking control at Vera Cruz.
1t is understood that there have been
movements of small rebel attachments
in the Vera Cruz area recently. Since
there is no federal force in the city, the
rebels have been able to move about at
will.
