But the fact remains *— —and it has been pretty well impressed upon the voters in { » the industrial regions of the nation — that prosperity has j been maintained in the United States more consistently es under the Republican high protective tariff than under the Democratic low tariff. : G. It is not argued that the high tariff system is perfect. trans Doubtless there are many inequalities. This situation was city} recognized by the Republican Congress in enacting the present tariff law, when it provided for a commission to ised ascertain the difference between cost of production abroad era) and at home at various times, and gave the president the wher power to alter the tariff. President Coolidge raised treat! the tariff on some agricultural products; it is predicted that ras he will lower the tariff on sugar. For the first time in the tored country’s history it now has a flexible tariff, made possible to at by the Republican party. The Republican platform says: Wi “We reaffirm our ‘belief in the protective tariff to extend Mand needed protection to our productive industries. Without the tende ct maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will inten need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad, and with lower standards of living. pane “We believe that the power of the President to decrease part or increase any rate of duty in the Tariff Act furnishes a safe- at th guard against excessive dutics to be adjusted after a hearing Wask that they may cover the actual differences in te cost of pro- duction in the United States and the principal competing coun- ° Th tries of the world.” eae The Democratic platform on which John W. Davis stands, will on the other hand, reaffirms the time-honored Democrati sehoe principle of a low tariff. state The tariff is not operative against every condition that mr obtains abroad. Within the last two years, when the Ger- Erne: man mark depreciated vastly, when German workers were sumn being paid a few cents a day and living in squalor, Germany ete could still produce goods, pay the tariff and undersell Amer- 4 ican manufacturers with their better paid labor.

THE RETURN OF OUR COWPUNCHERS (Little Rock Arkansas Democrat) American cowboys who took part in the rodeo in London have returned, but they are not the same cowpunchers that they were when they left home for Wembley to give the Britishers a taste of “Western life," we are told. In- stead of the movie outfits which wore upon their arrival in these cowboys returned wearing snappy cloth carrying canes and even wearing monocles. Which proves the old contention that “there ain't no tellin’ what some folks children will do.” Pic- ture, if you can, a cowpuncher of the type so luridly described by our writers of the purple sage, saying to the foreman of “Dead Man's Ranch": “Bring on your bally ‘oss and blime if I tail to ride the bloomin’ chunk, may ¢ spend the rest of ny days ridin’ a tram!"

I have-come to the conclusion if any explanation is ever made to you, I shall have to make it. Now I want to apologize for her act in writing that letter to your husband. Ido not ‘think Leslie, that Alice really realized what she was doing. Surely she would not do it because of those trumpery pearl beads. I have come to the conclu- sion, however, that in her great love of dramatizing herself she wrote this letter to your husband for the adventure jin: it. On the day after her hysterical outburst before your mother and myself, I found her in the summer house crying as though her heart would break. She had a vial mark- ed poison at her mouth. I snatched it from her just in time. She told me that in a spirit of fun more than anything else, she wrote your hus- band the letter telling him to ask you about the necklace. She said she had no idea that John would be so silly as to take the let- ter seriously. I tried to get her to tell me just exactly what she wrote in the letter, but she had already forgotten. Her whole explanation was incoherent in the extreme, for she was sobbing hysterically all the time. At last I succeeded in calm- ing her, but she seemed to think she could not stay in her father's house any longer. “Take me eway, Karl, take me away,” she pleaded. “ I don’t want to stay here, | want to be alone with you. For some reason my fam- ily don’t understand me, no one loves me but you. Even my own mother takes Leslie's part all time.” [did the Of course I knew that she not understand what she was so I promised to take her immediately. away She was a pitiful little creature, Leslie, and would not be pacified otherwise. I told her we would be married immediately. Poor child! I am very sorry for her. She has such an imagination, and she plans not only her own life but everyone else’s out completely and then she is very disappointed and unhappy when it does not turn out just the way she thought it would. She tells me she is sure you will never forgive her, but she loves you greatly, and it is breaking her heart. I wish you would write her, Leslie, and tell her that you forgive her. I know that you are even big enough to do that. I think she.should be back where her mother can talk to her. I never realized before what a strange dis- position my wife Alice has, She now has the peculiar idea that she wants to go on the stage—says she must have something to do when I get tired of her. With her tempera- ment, I cannot allow her to do that. I shall rely upon your father and mother to talk her out of it. I hope by this time that you have explained the whole thing to your husband, and are happy and con- tented again. I expect you will never wear the pearls again, but I would like to have you keep them and give them to your daughter, if you should have one; if not, to your son’s wife. If you wish me to write to Mr. Prescott, I will do so with pleasure. Let me hear from you soon. Sincerely, i KARL. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

LIST OF NAMES -- Now, L ALREADY HAVE THIS FING SVE GOT 4 FINE UST OF NAMES MySece!! SO KESGP GOING UNLESS You ITS A SKUNK, NEVERTHELESS By Albert Apple Everything is complicated, to a scientist. Celebrated Professor A. S. Eddington tells an audience (and the ex- planatory parentheses are our own): a “Take the simple act of my mounting this platform, which is apparently solid. I place my foot on'a platform that is traveling 19 miles a second (with the revolving earth.) _My body, which apparently moves easily, is sus- taining (atmospheric) pressure of 14 pounds per square inch. I am hanging head downwards into space. A wind of ether at terrific speed is blowing through the interstices of my body. And the plank on which I step is not solid, but composed of millions of electrons which are constantly bom- \barding the soles of my feet.” i Nevertheless, we hasten to add, all that’s happened is that he has stepped upon a platform. A scientist, seeing a certain little animal, will say: “It’s Mephitis Mephitis, a common mammal, allied to the weasels. It can eject a very offensive secretion produced in two peri- neal glands.” 8 An ordinary man, pondering all this, would say: “Never- theless, it’s only a skunk.” Science has a tendency of complicating the simple. That’s what science mainly does — takes the simple, ex- amines it and finds out how complicated it is underneath. Plain water, to a scientist, is two parts hydrogen to one part of oxygen, in combination. Of course, he doesn’t know what hydrogen or oxygen is, so where is he much better off than before he knew it by any name other than plain water? Admittedly, scientific analysis leads to progress. But isn’t science making life too complicated? Isn’t it responsible for the widespread tendency of the people, to view the simplest situations as if they were complex? The truth is right under our noses, but we fail to see it because we're looking for something hidden, mysterious, complicated. With this attitude, of expecting to find things complicated, we approach economic, political and social prob- lems that are as simple as A-B-C to any one with common keys a week or two before Thanks- giving,” said Mister Coon. “So it looks that way.” “Say, Corn, I got a swell idea!” ~ whispered Cobby into his brothers ear. “Just gimme your ear.” “My lands! Isn't that the ber- ries!” giggled Corny. “Oh, my!

It is taken as an omen of a long run by the superstitious performers, be- cause the famous mystery play, “The Bat,” enjoyed a long run in the same theater. Ordinarily it would be in- terpreted the same as rats leaving a sinking ship. Xavier Scharwenka, a Polish com- poser, 75 and interested in music, re- cently sailed from New York after a several months visit here. “How did you like jazz music?” he was asked. sees Dubiously he shook his head and confessed he never had heard “that sort of music.” a The police are searching for a.man wearing half a shirt.

Paris Finds Tourists BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer London, Sept. 6.--Somehow these Europeans who look forward to our coming and separating us from our money, can’t help emitting a‘ little sneer out of their system every now and then. The other day a Parisian newspa- per spoke of the thoesands of Amer- icans who were spending part of their summer holidays in Paris. Then it added this gracious and pretty thought: “Many of our guests belong to the middle classes who formerly did not furnish many tourists in Europe. But the cheapness of French francs compared to American dollars has changed all that.” Every: time they look at the map of the United States, British theatri- cal managers are filled with appre- hension and British actors and ac- tresses with anticipation and hope. There is a reason for this thus- ness. Salaries for Thespians have never been as high in Britain as they are in America, And with dull business in the towns, the theaters have been having a correspondingly hard time over here. This is in con- trast with the success of many good shows over in the United States. And golden tales have filtered back here about the fat pay envelopes —Stephen Hannagan. From Middle Classes drawn in New York by Nelson Keys, Beatrice Lilley, Gertrude Lawrence, Lupino Lane and other London stage favorites. The result is that every time a New York producer hits ‘is burg, his table is filled with notes, letters and cards seeking an oppointment to talk business, lany of the very best and clever- est men and women on the British stage are elbowing each other in their eagerness to come over where the big audiences and the big salar- ies are. “Tell me your name and I will tell you your age.” A French journalist announced this not long ago to Parisian women and © sent a scare into the hearts of many of them. But it wasn’t as sericus as it sounded. He had simply doped out that every generation has its favorites in the Christian names it gives girl babies. Hence you can usually -ap- proximately tell a woman’s age. Thus, he says, most women named Martha, Helene, Marguerite or Lucie are in their thirties, Those named Simone, Colette, Denise are now fin- ishing their school studies. While in the primary schools and the kindergartens there are the wo- men of day after tomorrow—named Monique, Nicole, Jacqueline. _ MANDAN NEWS Poultry Show Awards’ Made Frank Milhollan, Bismarck, was the winner of the poultry display sweeps at the poultry show at the Missouri Slope fair, dividing honors in the individual champion birds with many exhibitors.
