GRUNDY,S AMAZING THEORY

The attitude of high-powered industrialists
toward the country whole has never been put
frankly and more brutay than by Joseph R. Grundy,
the Pennsylvania hghtariff lobbyist in his testimony
before Senate committee.
Grundy, vexed because the wishes of Pennsylvania in
dustry being blocked by coalition of western and
southern senator's declared that agricultural states
which lack large manufacturing interests and are
sequenty rather cool toward extensive tariff increases
backward" and ought not to have much repre-
sentation in the Senate industrial states like Penn
sylvania.
The small states, said Grandy, haven't any chips IN
the game, and ought to be content to keep still when
the tariff is being discussed letting their brethren from
the big manufacturing states settle matters for them
Grundy has long been known as the country's lead
ing exponent of high tariff. Apparently height
would be too great to suit him. His views consequent
ly, not especially surprising They worth MOTTO
ing however, in that they express viewpoint held by
a good many powerful people.
This viewpoint is that industry is all-important. Div
idends must be protected, at matter what cost. No
is competent even to discuss such matters except
one who has large industrial interests.
Such attitude, of course, is utter negation of
democracy Our country founded the theory
that human rights all-important. If Grundy is
right our whole democratic system is wrong.

"Now, how would you like to

I'll over his big, Fat, furry face.
"A sliding race!" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggiy. "Why. a sliding race Is

"True enough" agreed the bear.
"But | don't need snow or ice for M

deeper into the woods until they

was no more slippery than any dirt

was well wet, Mr.. Stubtail sat down
on it, gave himself a little push and
down lie slid as ricely as a rolling

getting wetter than ever. But he
wanted to do this to make the clay
slide even more slippery, and next
time he came doHn whizzing.

to Uncle Wiggily. SO the rabbit
slid down the bears slide. But, not

bought large rtd one and took it
out to the woods with him.
"Now," said Uncle Wiggilv t.
the toy, who had II painted, smiling
face, very comical, "well see who
is the better jumper"
But before he could start there
was a rnstling in the leaves and Mr..
Lengears was going to hop away,
thinking the Bob Cat had gotten
cut of Jail, where lie had been sent
for wearing the Police Dogs uni
torn aai trying TO play Il trick on
Mr.. 1ongears.
But lie resting in the dried
leaves was made, not by the Bob
Cat, but by Big, black bear. How
ever, Uncle Wiggily wasn't at all
afraid of the big. black bear, for
it was kind Mr.. Stubtail, father of
Neddic and Bcc!lic, two animal
children who were very fond of
Uncle WiggiIy.
"Hello, Mr.. Stubtail called
Uncle Wiggily.
"sIello yourself." answered the
jolly bear gentleman. "Who is
with you:"
''No one" answered tie rabbit.
81 heard you talking to some one,
l am sure, just as l shuffIed up"
growlcd the bear. He didn't groyl
because he was crcss, but because
that was his war of talking. "I
heard you speaking to some one."
For a moment Uncle Wiggily was
puzzled and then he laughed and
said:
ooh, ! was talking to the jump
ing jack toy brought with me.
He and | are going to have a jump
ing race to see who does the bet
ter"
an watch you," offered Mr.
Stubtail, sitting down on a log.
So Uncle Wiggily jumped from
here to there and little farther
than that, perhaps. But the jack
just jumped up and down betwcen
two sticks, where lie clung with his
