PEPPER IS

lFLA O6TVIC6 W IIJeT.
XVII ASHINGTON, May 15.-If the
IWI Republicans nominate Presi-

Pennsylvania for his running mate,
they'll be naming for the vice presi-
dency an out-of-doors lover without
an equal since Colonel Roosevelt's
day.
Senator Pepper is an athlete, for
his age. at least, and he looks one.
The Pennsylvania is big man, but
there's no weight about him. He's
about six feet of solid bone and
muscle.
In his college days he went in for

FavOrs Free Tariff

The other method proposed and
sponsored by the opponents Of the
McNary. Haugen bill is that the
tariff be reduced and open the mar
kets Of the world to the farmers
products as well as the products of
all other industries. The farmer will
then buy his binders. mowers, wag-
ons. plows and harrows, clothing.
building materials, rents etc, in a
cheap market This is the natural
method, and neither the farmer nor
any other person can have a just
cause for complaint. unless it be
from scarcity and high-priced labor.
r. such condition OF labor should OK,
list. then it is the duty of the Gov
eminent to remove by legislation
some of the restrictions in our inn
migration laws and permit a suffi-
cient number of laborers to enter
our ports so as to restore competi-
ton in the labor market. The farm
er can then employ his labor on his
farm in proportion to his income.
But some one will say. that this
will not do for the reason that it
viii reduce the price of labor in all
the other industries as well as in
the farming industry. My answer
10 that is that the laborer is already
suffering from high prices of what
he has 10 buy.
The manufacturer can run six or
nine months in the year and satisfy
the home demand and during the
remainder of the year the laborer is
out of employment with high prices
and high rent to pay, a condition
far worse than If he had steady en-
with low prices for what
ne has to buy and low rent for the
home in which he lives.

S THERE such a thing as
| Tammany Hall, in politics?
IL Governor Smith to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, there en-
phatically is. The man who sue
ceeds Charles F. Murphy as leader
of the New York county Demo
cratic committee will need to be
member of the Society of Tammany
if he expects to last more than
week.
What is the secret of Tammany
Halls success in politics? Governor
Smith says it is merely that there
are more Democrats in New York
than Republicans. Which is beside
the mark. of course, since the ques-
ton is why does Tammany Hall
maintain it's hold over the Demo
cratic party in New York and how
does it use the Democratic party to
Keep itself in power?
Organization Is Answer
TIE average New Yorker answers
the question by saying: "Organiza-
ton He means better organiza-
ton than the Republican party has
and better organization than indie
pendent Democrats can effect. This
is the fact. Pressed for further ex-
PLANTATION, the New Yorker tells You
that Tammany is on the job every
day in the year, whereas other po-
ltical organizations are idle except
in campaign time. He tells you also
that the Tammany men look after
the poor. that they make a practice
of knowing all the voters, and that
they take care of their own These
are all valid reason and only need
celebrating.
In 125 years of New York polit-
ical history there has scarcely been a
two-year period without Tammany
scandal. Tammany has not become
synonymous with corruption in the
American. mind without due cause.
Tammany in the past has meant
graft and bribery, incompetence and
dishonesty, immortality and crime. In
the later years of Murphy's rule, it
is said, there was little to complain
of in this respecl. Since the admin
istratioa of Mayor Mitchell set a new
standard for the city. that standard
has not been allowed to slip back
appreciably. Murphy, perhaps, saw
a light in his declining years and
compelled others associated with him
likewise to see it. Yet the public
revolt which put Mitchell in Office
was against a Murphy-contre lied
Tammany, a Tammany as vicious
and corrupt in it's influence as ever
it had been.
Public Hard to Arouse
New York City, by its very size
and the nature Of its population, is
set apart from other American
cities. 1t is difficult to interest the
average citizen in public affairs. It
is difficult to obtain public opinion.
The possibilities for corruption
and graft have been reduced. The
police have been taken out of
politics. The saloons are out of
business. The public service corpora
tions no longer furnish vast cam
paign FUNDS. Civil service is a par
tial fact. But Tammany can still
get its vote out on election day.
That comes from looking after its
own.

OF what is rice paper made?
From the pitch of a tree fatsia
ara!ia papyrtfera), grown in For
mosa. The pith. from one to one and
half inches in diameter, is opened
out with a sharp knife and then
pressed fat. From this, when dried,
the best artificial flowers are made;
it is also employed, chiefly in China
and Japan, for pictorial designs
highly colored.

Growth depends upon the food and
care, but the average goldfish grows
two inches the first six months, and
three to four inches during the first
year. Not more than two fishes
should be kept in a gallon of water.
How tall was Napoleon 1?

been various measurements given,
but this is considered the most
creditable as it is that given by his
chamberlain, Bausset.

Writer to The Times OPP
poses McNary-Haugen
Bill
To the Editor of The Times:


Ct HE farmer is suffering from a
panic which has continued
with but little, if any abate-
ment for the past two years and
longer, and it is pretty generally
conceded that when farming indus
try suffers all other industries feel
the effects.
Many remedies have been suggest
ed as a panacea for the farmers ills;
legislators have pondered the sub
ject; tariffs have beeIi increased on
the farmers products-all to no sub
stantial benefit, and his products
still decline while prices of what the
farmer has to buy remain the same
or steadily increase.
If prices can be unnaturally raised
by means of the tariff, then why is
it that it does not raise the price
of farmers products? This is OBJ
waited in the case of the manufac-
turer by limiting the output of the
factories, by combination and there
by producing a scarcity of his prod
ucts. This the farmer can not do
on account of the great number of
farmers and the diversity Of his
products. Hence, the farmer must
sell in an overstocked and unprotect-
ed market and buy in a protected,
limited and highpriced market.
Two Theories Advanced
Two theories have been ad-
vanced by our legislators in Con-
gress, one represented by the ad-
vocates Of the McNary- Haugen bill
whereby the Government us to Duy
the farmers surplus products at a
fixed price and then sell the same at
whatever price and wherever q mar
ket can be found either abroad or
elsewhere. This method is I'M
natural, unjust and inequitable and
puts the Government into the bust
ness Of fixing prices on one class of
products and not on another class
CT products. This method might do
for an imperial ana mighty cen
tralized form of government where
the government is supreme and the
people only subjects. but not in a
republic form Of government where
the people are supreme and the
Government subject to the will of
the people.
