THE TARIFF A LOCAL ISSUE.

The dispatches tell that the Senate Finance Committee has decided to eliminate the tariff placed logs, lumber and shingles by the House of Rep resentatives. The House put tariff these items under pressure from Washington Oregon some of the Southern States and other sections of the country where people and capital employed in the timber. The Senate is mpelled to its action by pressure from the prairie States and else where that people interested in cheaper materials for building purposes and from those interested in holding the Canadian trade for the United States.
 It would be difficult to find better illustration of the truth of Gen Hancocks statement that the tariff is local issue. It has been nearly fifty since Gen. Hancocks declaration cost him the Presi- dency. From a political viewpoint 1880 was Demo- cratic year. The Democrats had swept the cleo tions in 1874 1876 and 1878. They had been cheated out of the Presidency in 1876 by the seating of Hayes in spite of the circumstance that Tilden had been elected by decisive plurality of the people Thousands of Republicans realized the injustice of the cheating and ready to make amends by voting Democratic in 1880. They would undoubtedly have elected Tilden that year by a tremendous majority if the Democrats had possessed enough political sense to have nominated him. But the Cincinnati convention accepted his word, too readily many people thought. that he did not want the nomination and gave it to Winfield Scott Hancock, of the most popular, capable and suc- cessful of the Union Civil War Generals He seem- ed to be a sure winner Then, in one of his fortnight discussions of the issues he bluntly said the tariff is local issue" He declared that ones position the tariff usually depended upon the location of his residence. His opponents quick to say this talk proved that he was ignorant about economic questions. and times were too prosperous for people to take chances with an ignorant execu- tive so Gen.

More or Less True

The honeymoon tunes out when he begins to give her the impress sion he's glad they're married SC he can quit spending money or her.
 The only reason many a flapper isn't going around with the whites of her eyes painted green and the iris a gorgeous red is because the eyes are one part of the female oi the species Nature has made it inn possible to ruin that way.
 If man always refers to his wife as mother it usually means she has been darn good wife and he's reached the age where he begins to appreciate the way she's kept him from making a fool of him. self.
 Some brides can hardly wait fol the honeymoon to check out so they can quit handing out baloney and start in telling the poor fish what they really think of them The only difference between some women getting ready for bath and for an evening party is that they don't take off quite all when they are getting ready for the party. Persons who are unsuited to each other ought not to marry but the heck of it is getting married is the only way a good many of them can find out they're not.
 A girl may be as pretty as a pic ture, but that won't make a man happy if she isn't any more capable of getting meals and alarming socks than the picture is.
 Father gets sore because son thinks there always is room in his roadster for one more flapper, and mother gets sore because father thinks there always is room in the ash tray for one more cigar butt.
 The only thing that puts daugh- ter in as bad humor as having to help with a sinkfull of dishes is spending an evening with a tight wad boy friend.

5000 Leaders Replies
S0L0M CALLS FOR PROOF

Albany, N. T., Jan. 22.-(R0-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt today faced the posi-
bility Of being asked by the legisla-
t,rre to produce proof Of q statement
that I feeling was prevalent after the
last election similar to that which
fuiio~edAths thskt Of the presis)ncy
In the Tilden caseS
A resolution inviting the governor
to produce such evidence was intro
duced BY Republican assemblyman,
Richard B. Smith, Of Onondaga
county. The resolution said that Gov
ernor Roosevelt's statement 'chal-
lenges the honesty Of the election Of
Herbert Hoover, and casts cloud
upon his right 10 assume the office of
the president of the United States on
March 4th," and that "the plain i'm
port Of such statement Is to cast
reflection upon the methods en-
ployed by the supporters Of Herbert
Hoover In the last election"
Criticism Of the governor was made
In the resolution for giving the in
fluence Of his office to the statement.
based on what the governor said was
an expression Of opinion Of his cor
respondents.
The resolution said 1t was the duty
Of the legislature to enact legislation
to correct conditions such as were
charged. Governor Roosevclt's .state-
ment said, in connection with the
feeling prevalent after the defeat Of
Governor Alfred E. Smith As Demo-
ocratic presidential candidate:
This clearly expressed feeling can
only be compared to that which fol-
lowed the theft Of the presidency In
the Tilden case. Bigotry, ignorance
Of democratic principles, the spread
by unspeGkable and un-American
methods Of the most atrocious false
hoods, unfair and improper pressure
brought to bear upon workers In spe-
cially favored Republican industries,
false claims for the prosperity Of the
country, and kindred propaganda.

The statement was issued BY the
governor recently, after he received
replies from 5000 letters sent to
Democratic leaders in various states
