THE OIL SCANDALS.

Mr. Smith in his Helena, Montana,
speech last week took the Republican
party severely to task for the So
called oil scandals. There is no ques-
ton but what a number of crooks
got into government departments dur
ing the Harding administrator, ard
all such should be in jail. A party,
however, cannot be indiscei because
a few dishonest men appear. TIE
facts are that the courts have pre-
ceeded in the Usual ana regular way
to deal with these men and also with
the oil lands. There has been no de-
lay in justice. The guilty men are
either in Jail or are on their way
there. All of the oil lands In ques-
ton have been restored to the gov
eminent and the incident is closed sx-
cept evidently tcr political purposes.
There has been a complete house
cleaning. 1t is far-fetched indeed to
attempt to correct the candidacy of
Herbert Hoover with the incident. No
man in public life has such an un-
blemished record as has Hoover. He
handled more than one billion dollars
in his war work and there never was
a breath of suspicion or scandal; in
fact, his achievement was so out
standing and so splendidly admins
tered that every American citizen has

THE TARIFF.

Statements regarding the tariff pro-
lection given northwest farm products
usually refer to pounds" or other
small units, and this tends to keep
us from realizing the full value of the
tariff protection the Republican party
has given northwest farmers.
For example, the present tariff duty
on butter is 12c per pound, but this
amounts to $40 per ton.
Some idea of what this tariff pro-
lection, which by the way is a direct
bonus to dairy farmers, means in
comparison with the tariff on other
products will be understood better
when it is kept in mind that the tariff
on pig iron is only SLIP per ton
Few farmers in Minnesota produce
less than a ton of butterfat per year
and those who do produce a ton of
butterfat on their farms in one year
receive as direct cash bonus practi-
cally this $40 in full.
The history of butter tariffs is in
teresting and should be kept in mind
by dairy farmers.
Administration placed a tariff protec-
ton of $120 per ton on butter.
In 1909 a Republican Congress and
The Democrats, coming into power
in 1913, reduced this protection to $50
per ton. This benefited the pur-
chasers of butter down East but it
took $40 per year from the income Of
almost every Minnesota dairyman
In 1921, less than three months
after taking office, the Republicans
put the tariff rate back to $3.50 per
ton. About year later they boosted
it to $160 per ton. Then when i'm
ports of butter from Denmark and
other foreign countries kept coming
in, President Coolidge in March 1926
by executive act boosted the tariff to
$240 per ton, where it now is.
If the Democrats, led as they are in
this campaign by a man whose chief
local constituency is made up of
butter consumers, thought that $120
per ton protection in 1913 was twice
as much as it ought to be, what will
they do about the present bonus of
$240 per ton, which is just double the
one they slashed in 1918.
Can a dairy state like Minnesota
trust them not to repeat their raid
on dairying2

HOOVER AND THE GERMANS.

John F. Vogt, former president of
the German Club of Chicago, in a
statement given out the other day
said:
1.-The German people in this country
can never forget that when the world
war was over, and the civilized world
was full of hatred for their late enc
mics, it was Hoover who organized
the food supplies and with hundreds
of ships loaded with food, broke the
allied Gordon of warships blockading
Germany to feed millions of starving
women and children in Germany VINO
were innocent-no matter who was
responsible for the war"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-10-05

and should not be held responsible
for his acts.
Recently Senator John j. Blaine of
Wisconsin remarked, while the Senate
District Committee was considering a
new pistol law" that professional
salvationists were the cause of too
many laws, creating crime after
crime, heaping sin upon sim"
We will not have crime reform until
our laws are simplified and enforced,
and criminals are given their due as
ravagers of society. Passing more
anti-pistol laws restricting law-abid-
ing citizens and infringing on their
constitutional rights to own small
arms, will not reduce crime or
restrain real criminals who can as
conveniently use knives, hatchets,
axes, clubs, poison, etc. Such laws
make more laws to break"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-10-05

should be sufficient for every man in
Minnesota to cast his vote for Herbert
Hoover for President. Hoover, the man
of action when action is needed. The
man selected by the powers that be,
Democrat or Republican, to take
charge of intricate matters and bring
them to a successful head The man
who made you eat war bread in order
to feed the soldiers and the starving
or other nations. The man who figur-
ed that war bread was better than
nothing, which you would have had in
plenty had not this man of action and
farsightedness used his efforts in your
behalf. Hoover, can and will, also set
tie the waterway question to the sat-
isfaction of all-not AL He knows how
and at the head of the nation will be
able to supervise and accomplish
things in the usual efficient Hoover
way.
Whispers have played part in
every campaign from the time of
Washington. Such campaign is not
new in American politics. What in
f1uence it will have on either Hoover
or Smith nobody knows. The gossip
is an abomination. To whisper and
gossip scandal about your neighbor
most viscious member of any COM
munity is one who will spread scandal
Gus gossip which tends to destroy
somebody's character 1t is certainly a
sneaking thing to do to whisper Wis
cious charges against two men, one of
whom will surely be president of the
United States. If you know anything
about any candidate which will unfit
him for office, don't whisper. Come
out openly and say your say.
The anonymous gossiping slanderer
is not confined to any party recently
spoke a down-state paper. Wrong
again, says Bayne in the News rib-
une. This fellow is always of the OPP
posing political party In our party
he would be a patriot inbued with the
spirit of helpfulness and fearlessness

WHAT MIR. SMITHS STAND ON
IMMIGRATION REALLY MEANS

In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Smith, democratic candidate for pres
ident, state that if elected he will use
the powers of the presidency to bring
about a change in our present immi-
grafton law so that the immigrant
quotas are based on the census of 1920
instead of upon the census of 1890, as
they are at present.
A good many people do not realize
what this proposed change means.
The demand for this change comes
from the representatives of southern
European countries, our population
from these countries being general in
the large cities, particularly in New
York City where there are more than
two million folks of southern Euro
pean birth or descent. The present law
is designed to favor immigration from
northern European countries, and 1t
does. Under its operation IS per cent
of our immigrants are now from
northern Europe and only Is per cent
from southern Europe.
The basis proposed by Mr.. Smith
would exactly reverse this ratio.
Here are the changes it would make
in immigration from leading coun-
tries: a.
Germany-It would decrease the
number of immigrants yearly from
51,27O, the number now permitted to
enter, to 28,705.
England-It would decrease the i'm
migrants admitted yearly from 3d.
OO7 to 29,152.
Ireland-It would decrease the an
nual admittance from 28,560, as at
present, to 14,576.
Scandinavian countries-It would
reduce the quotas more than one-half.
But notice what the change pro-
posed by Mr.. Smith would do for
Italy and Russia:
Italy-It would increase the quota
from 3,845 to 32,315 per year.
Russia-It would increase the quota
from 2,248 per year to 25,161 per year.
Mr.. Smith has been elected COVER
nor of New York four terms entirely
by reason of the huge majority he has
received in New York City with its
large southern European citizenship.
He has always been beaten in his
races for governor by the vote in New
York state at large.
AS further evidence that MIR. Smith
and the whole Tammany organiza-
ton in New York City is against any
restriction of immigration from SOUTH
ern Europe, it is interesting to note
that the % congressman from New
York City voted unanimously against
the present immigration law passed
in May, 1921, while the rest of the
members of Congress voted for it by
more than five to one. Mark Sulli-
van, well-known Washington news
paper correspondent, in commenting
on that vote said:
"One may say that Tammany New
York and all America outside of New
York differ on the broadest possible
ground on what America is and what
America of the future ought to be"
The is much in this statement of
what MIR. Smith intends to use his
power as president to do to change
our present immigration law, to give
every citizen of Minnesota serious
food for thought.

The notion that it is harmful to eat
fish and milk together has no founda-
ton in fact. Think of the many ex-
cellent creamed fish dishes, and fish
chowders made with milk, that have
always been eaten without ill effect!
A small pan that fits into the top
OF the teakettle has many uses. 1t
serves as double boiler for small
quantities of food to be cooked or re-
heated, and will be found handy for
melting shortening.
Cook spinach for 10 or Is minutes
only, in just the water that clings to
the leaves after washing it through
several waters. When it begins to get
tender, chop it very fine and season
with plenty of butter or cream.
1t is unnecessary to remove food
from a can as soon as it is opened
For reasonable period the food may
safely remain in the can. Transferring
it to another container only means an
other dish to wash. If the can was
safe while the food was shut up in it,
it is still safe.
Starch does not taste good unless it
is well cooked, hence it is advisable
to cook cereals until the Starchy flaw

sidered necessary to cook them for
several hours before they are given
to children. Many of the package
cereals now on the market have al

them need only very brief cooking

When making jelly it is not neces-
sary to heat the sugar before adding
it to the fruit juice. The only reason
for heating it is to shorten the time
of boiling the jelly. If the juice is
boiling hot when the sugar is put in,
the boiling process will only be check
ed for a minute or two by the addi-
ton of the cold sugar. It is then
boiled rapidly until the jelly stage is
reached, which should be in from to
10 minutes or even less.

INSPECTION REVEALS FIRE
HAZARDS.

A warning in time is worth needing.
To some people there is handwriting
on the wall" in the warning in the re-
port of fire hazards rendered by the
Fire Prevention Bureau of a large
mid-weStern city.
For the month of June, the Bureau
made 4,401 inspections, finding fire
hazards to the number of 1865. Pre-
dominating in this total were bad
heating units and rubbish, divided as
follows:
FlueS, ................... Soi
Furnaces, stoves and hot plates, So
Heating appliances, ............. 6
Stoves and smokepipes, ........ 20
Total heating units bad, ...... 480
Accommodations of straw, trash, rub
bish and waste paper constituted fire
hazards to the number of 545.
Since these two classifications con-
tanned the greatest number of fire
hazards, it is very probable that they
caused the majority of fires suffered
by the city in the past, according TO
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's. It is also likely that SINH
Lar state of affairs exists in most COM
munities.
Let all take heed, therefore, and COR
rect such conditions. Rubbish, the
largest item, requires attention con-
tinually; it should not be allowed to
accumulate at any time or any place.
This month, particularly, heating
units should be inspected and unsafe
conditions corrected Soon cold wealth
er will require the use of these units
and if the warning is not needed there
will be many destructive fires.

They probably already know it but the High schol basketball team will have it's work cut out if they anticipate holding the city title this year in the face of the crack City team now in process of forma- ton.
 City team aspirants were out in full force last evening and though there were many old faces there were also a bunch of new ones who, judging from expertness and ability displayed, are going to make the former regulars hustle to win a shirt.
 At this time the nfames of the speedy athletes are not available but the fact remains Dr. Roberts, coach, has "oodleS" of excellent material to whip a cracker-jack five into line. Instead of having @ number of mediocre teams in the field there will be two snappy ones, the High school and the City.

Ralph Easy Labor Batter Calls for Neuu Series of Raids Az
YANKS BREAK EVEN:
GIANTS WIN TWO

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 (UP).-The
upward rush of the Philadelphia
Athletics came to an abrupt halt
today when the Philadelphia club
dropped both games of a double
header to the Washington Senator'S
and lost full game in their pursuit
of the league-leading New York
Yankees.
AS for the worlds champions,
themselves, they are not particu-
larly happy over the outcome of the
Labor Day ball games, for the best
they could get was an even break
with the Boston Red Sox, and it took
four pitchers and a lot of luck to
bring about the single Yankee VIC
tory.
The Senators won two games, 6
to 1 and 5 TO 4, and dragged the
Athletics back to a place two and
one-half games behind the league
leaders.
The Yankees gained a full game
by their even break with the Red
Sox, and needed it. Bill Carrigan's
crew battered four New York pit
cheers for fifteen hits in the opener,
yet were beaten, 8 to 7. In the sec
ond game, Ken Williams homer in
the ninth and the relief pitching of
Morris, who was rushed in to stem
belated Yankee rally, gave the
Sox a to 8 victory.
The st. Louis Cardinals were
given setback in the National
League race Monday when the Gin
cinnati Reds rallied behind Eppa
Rixey and Adolph Luque to win a
oouble-header, 6 to and s to 2.
By winning a double-header from
the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 to and
8 to 3, the New York Giants ad-
vanced to within four and one-half
games of the Cardinals.
The Pittsburgh Pirates routed the
Chicago Cubs in two games. winning
16 to 1 and 6 to 8, dropping the
Cubs to four and one-half games be-
hind St. Louis.
Cincinnati ended a five-game los
ing streak by winning from St.
Louis, 6 to 5, in an extra-inning con-
test. A single by Critz and double
by Purdy produced the winning run
with two out in the eleventh inning.
In the second game the Reds scored
