WHAT KEPT HIM DOWN?

In Des Moines the case of laborer who has
seventeen in his family and earns $3.50 day
is attracting attention. The family includes him
self and wife, twelve children and three grand
children. The man works, brings home his $3.50
and manages to get enough bread and potatoes
to feed the hungry mouths most of the time.
Now what are you going to do about that?
Of course the man is deserving, any man who
works every day and does his best to support
a family is deserving and deserves help But
he can't earn in competition with other work.
ers of his kind more than his $3.50 per diem. It's
too late for him to learn to do anything else. AS
the father of twelve and grandfather of three or
we are not informed to how many
grandchildren he may 'have-his nose must re-
main on the $3.50 grindstone. He and. his wife
are out of the picture of the future.
1t may be remarked, however, that he gave
too many pledges to fortune" without having
made any proper preparation for redeeming the
pledges. "A man with twelve of those pledges"
and $3.50 per day preparation does not do
much in the way of redemption. He can't. He
would if he could-now. But it's too late. He's
a hard working man, probably an honest man,
also deserving man. But he's up against it
and must remain so. Help? Certainly he needs
and should have help How? By public charity?
By removal of the children to institutions How?
You tell 'em.
What kept the man down? Surely not lack
Of opportunity, for the bitterly poor are the ex-
ception and not the rule in this country. Hun
dreds of thousands, millions Of men, who
began poor have attained comfort and safety for
their old age. There are no general conditions
that make men poor. The man who has not
fitted himself to command his share in the COM
petition and who multiplies himself twelve
times is bound to be poor, however deserving he
may be otherwise.
No, conditions in this country do not make
for bitter and hopeless poverty 1t is out OF the
ordinary home that the successful men and wo-
men come. No, there is no stern and savage OPP
preston and denial in the conditions that exist.
Otherwise hopeless poverty would not be in
frequent. And it is not without shade of GER
tainty that successful effort may come out of the
home where seventeen are living on $3.50 day.
The desire for betterment grows in such soil.
The man with a family of seventeen to sup
port and with $3.50 preparation is like man
who has never learned to swim and who has
before him river to cross that must be crossed
by swimming. -Marshalltown Qa.) Republican.

WHY SOME POOR PEOPLE ARE POOR.

TT HIS is a story of stockings. Some peo-
pie may think it explains, at least
helps explain, the mystery of why some
people are poor and others are rich.
business concern in Washington discover
ed cheap way of making silk stockings with
"runs" in them as good as new. That looked
like valuable idea for every woman knows
how common an annoyance it is to have new
pair of silk stockings spoiled by single run in
one of them.
This concern has machine which picks up
the dropped stitches and puts the stockings out
looking like new.
To introduce it's idea, the company wrote to
a thousand working girls, offering to mend a
stocking for each free of charge Only eight
took advantage of the offer. And if you think
that was because working girls don't silk
stockings, you don't know the working girl.
Next the company tried thousand house
wives members of families with small means,
and only six out of the thousand responded.
You see the company started out on the as
sumption that it must look for it's trade to peo-
pie who because of their small means, need to
study economy.
After those two failures the next thousand
letters were sent to different class entirely:
to society matrons, wives of diplomats, senator's
and men of wealth. Immediately business start
ed humming, and it has been humming ever since.
Women of wealth not only responded to the in
vitation, but told others about their experience
and thus brought in more business
Some of us ought to find moral in that
story if we search hard enough.-Duluth Her

TARIFF AND FARM RELIEF

The farmers of the second congress
sional district arose in their might and
ousted j. T. McCleary, the high tariff
stand-pat congressman, and elected a
democrat pledged to tariff revision
downward. Congressman Clague is a
republican but he is for the McNary-
Haugen bill because it gives the farm
er the protection that the tariff gives
to industry. If the president again
vetoes the measure, will he join the
proposed assault on the high tariff sched-
ule to bring the cost of manufactured
products down to the level Of farm
prices ?-Springfield Advance-Press.
That is a fair question. While not spokes-
man for Congressman Clague we will venture
the opinion that he WILL NOT join in any assault
on the present tariff as whole Congressman
Clague knows, does every other man who
studies the subject, that the present tariff sys-
tenn is of inestimable benefit to the farmers de-
spite the fact that it is not effective on the pro-
ducts of the farm produced in surplus.
The American high tariff policy is the foun-
dation stone of the American standard Of living,
and the American standard Of living in turn
rests upon steady employment Of labor ut high
wages. Remove this foundation stone and the
American standard Of living will disappear, be-
cause steady employment at high wages will not
be possible if American labor is forced to COM
pete with cheap forgein labor and its much low
er standard of living. Reduce the buying power
of American labor and you will reduce the SELL
ing power of the American farmer in exact pro-
portion.
Talk about protection for all or protection
for none" is the silliest kind of chatter The tar
if is directly effective today on everything the
farmer produces except those things which he
raises in excess of the needs of American con-
sumption, and even these things it 10 effective
to the extent that it forces competition to pay
the existing duties to enter this market.
There can be no question about the need and
tho justice Of making the tariff effective on ev-
erything the farmer produces, If way to do 30
can be devised The farmer is entitled to full
protection and IN proportion to that enjoyed By
labor and industry. This is so elementally fair
that there is no room for argument. But when
one begins talking about helping the farmer BY
running someone else, when the farmer win have
10 share IN such ruin, then such friends of the
farmer" automatically become his enemies.-Ln-

the third is the split top which helps the bread to

it a better flavor and texture.
