It is pleasing to note that Sheridanites have come to regard politics as oné thing and friendship as another thing, and they are not sacrificing polit- ical principles for a matter of old acquaintance- ship. They see no good reason to help place a Democrat in the senate of the United States, who, when opportunity offers casts his senatorial vote in favor of the things in which they do not believe and to which that cannot conscientiously subscribe. From time to time the Kendrick campaign boom- ers have reported leading Republicans of Sheri lan, county openly supporting Kendrick in opposition! to their own party candidate for the senate. It}; would be strange, indeed, if in the circumstances, | there would not be here and there a Republican who) had been a neighbor of Senator Kendrick for thir-; ‘ou by et The Tribune ty years or more who would not vote for him out of pure friendship. The same situat reversed, exists in the case of Mr. Monc-'!. There are many individual Democrats who will vote for Mr. Mon dell for reasons similar to those which induce Re publicans to support Senator Kendrick. Republicans set up no claim that Democrats are flocking to the Mondell standard by wholesale. Far from it. They have no wish to deceive themselves or the public by any such cheap insincerity. The small amount of voting by avowed Republicans} and Democrats for the opposition candidate will} be negligible. As the campaign advances party men and women will line up for their own as they have in the past. Senator Kendrick’s hope, and only hope has been ‘trom the start, to encompass his election by the aid of Republican votes in such numbers as to over- come the normal Republican plurality in the state. This is a hope in vain. No reason exists for Re-| publicans deserting their own candidate. Mr. Mon-}| dell has been faithful and true to his constituents. Has served them ably and well for a longer period} than almost any other member of the house of rep-| resentatives. There is nothing in his record to alienate Republicans and there is everything in it to attach Republicans to him. | Word comes from Sheridan county that since| news of the Non-Partisan performance at Doug- las, in which Senator Kendrick was endorsed by that conglomeration of disgruntled disturbers, Re-| publican friends who contemplated a compliment | ary vote forthe senator, had about faced and would} vote the straight Republican ticket as they should and let personal friendship slide. Now when Democratic boosters for Senator Ken- drick, go abroad over the state proclaiming that an County Republicans are supporting Ken- ididacy, take no stock in their vaporings. ve is all wréng. The era SST } Sample Falsehoods PING and retailing interests continue to wage nationwide .propaganda against the en-| actment of an American protective tariff. Although they offer many excuses for this attitude, the real motive back of their fight against the enactment of such a tariff is the fact that it would reduce their extortionate profits which they are now mak- ing on goods which they import at a very low price and sell to the American public from 200 to 2,000 per cent profit. One of the most vicious pieces of propaganda be- ing put out by a metropolitan concern of this char- acter is a letter which has been sent by a New York firm dealing in suitings and cloth for men’s clothing. It has also been sent to a large number of consumers. The fact that it is being so widely distributed to hundreds of merchants who have never had any dealings with this New York con- cern clearly shows it is being distributed not for business reasons but for purposes of political prop- aganda. The letter is vicious because it is false in| every particular. It is as foliows: “G men: “We feel it our duty to notify all of our customers! that if the proposed tariff on raw wool is passed,| the retail price of men’s all wool suit of clothes will go up about $4 and un overcoat abont $7.50 at retail This would meaa a curtailment of your clothing business, and we feel that you should be made! aware of the facts. “The senate is considering a tariff on raw wool of 33 cents on the clear content of the pound. If} adopted this will mean .» 83 per cent increase over} the high Payne-Aldrich tariff, which ex-President| Taft characterized as ‘indefensible’ “Tt will cost the American people about $350.000,- 00 a year. And this to protect the raw wool in-| dustry with a total annual outpnt of only $65,000,-| 900, | reason is th after it bas + the wool cealer, the a at this 22 cents grows to $1 a passed thronch the hands of spinifer, the cloth manufactur. | ed to the pric \* Che Casper Daily Srisune : er, the clothing manufacturer and the retailer, after bas added his overhead and profit. * . * . . - “The only thing that will modify the bill is a widespreau protest. If you will write to your con- gressmian protesting agamst this useless extravag ance, and if you wili run one or two advertisements in your local newspaper letting your customers know how much this wasteful legislation is going to cost them, you will be protecting your own busi- ness, and-you'will be doin, your duty towards your community.” There are sor» retail merchants who have been misled by this tissue of falsehoods, paid for and circulated by those who have a selfish interest in defeating a tariff because they are making hun- dreds of per cent profit on imported articles. Re- tail merchants so deceived have written or wired) their senators or representatives in accordance With the instructions in the letter. Senator Frank Willis, of Ohio, received a telegram from a retal merchz.n* in his state who had accepted as the truth the New York propagandist’s falsehoods regara- ing tariff on wool and the price of clothing. To this telegram Senator Willis repiied as follows: “I have your wire protesting against proposed turiff rate of 33 cents per pound on scoured con- tent of imported wool and stating that if this rate of duty is provided for the protection of the farm- |.ers’ product the prices of suits and overcoats will be increased from $3 to $5 “If any guch increase in price is contemplated by manufactyrers and retailers of clothing, con- sumers ought to understand that there rot the slightest justification or excuse for it in any tariff rate in the pending bill. “Under the present law the tariff on grease wool is 15 cents per pound. Ordinarily it takes three pounds of grease wool to make a pound of scoured wool, therefore in effect the present duty on a pound of scoured wool is 45 cents, the proposed rate is 12 cents per pound less than under the existing law. pound is adopted—a rate of 12 cents per pound low- er than the law now provides—retailers propose to increase the price of woolen clothing $5 per suit. “This state of facts suggcsts an interesting query, viz: If retailers and manufacturers increase the price of a suit of clothes $5 because the tariff on a! pound of wool is decreased from 45 cents to 33 cents how much would they mark up the prices of their suits if the rate were reduced still further? “Yhe mere statement of the case shows the utter folly of claiming that a reasonable protective tar- iff on the farmers’ finished product, raw wool, nec- essitates any such increase in prices as your tele- gram indicates. So far as the tariff on raw wool has any effect on the price of woolen clothing, manufacturers and retailers ought to lower the price of suits to some extent to correspond with the decrease in tariff rate on raw wool from 45 cents to 33 cents per pound. “The unfairness and absurdity of claiming that the new tariff rate on raw wool justifies an in-| crease of 85 per suit of clothes is shown in another w About three poun-ls of wool are required, scoured wool, to make a woolen suit. The total nowt of the tariff on raw wool if it were all_add-! xf the suit would be only 99 cents. Yet it appea from your statement that because of a mere pc ility of inerease in the price of raw wool on account of a tariff not to exceed $1,! it is proposed forthwith ¢o increase the price $5 to! the purchaser of the suit. “This proposal to increase the price of suits is out of all proportion to the increase which the tar- iff on raw wool would justify and is in harmony with the practice which is being followed by im porters of raising prices unconscionably on their imported wares. For exemple; fable knives that cost abroad 2.75 cents each are retailed here at 30 cents, an Increase in price of 991 per cent; ladies’ gloves that cost abroad 27 cents per pair are retail- ed at $2 per pair, an increase of 627 per cent; straw hats that are bought in England for 69 cents are being sold in the market here at $4, an increase of 479 per cent; razors costing 21 cents in Europe are ‘ being sold here at $5, an increase of 2,281 per cent; linen napkins that cost abroad $12.20 per dozen are retailed here at $65 per dozen, an increase of 432 per cent; and yet these same gentlemen who have been making these immense profits are filling the country with misinformation relative to the effect that the new tariff law will cause great increase in prices. “As a matter of fact, the misinformation regard- ing the proposed tariff on wool and its resultant effects on the price of clothing is only a part of the propaganda which is being disseminated through- out the country by importers and international bankers who have grown rich out of the tribute they have exacted from the people under free trade laws and who realize that the raising of wool in America to supply our own needs will deprive them of an important source of their excessive profits amounting in some cases to more than 500 per cent. These gentlemen some of whom I regret to say, seein more interested in encouraging industry abroad than of fostering it at home apparently have no con- cern over the lamentable fact that under the free wool provision that obtained before the present em- ergency tariff went into effect the number of sheep in Ohio decreased to 2,102,000 in 1920, while the! number of sheep in the whole country declined from 64,000,000 head 20 years ago to only 35,000,000 now. “Free trade in wool has almost ruined the sheep industwy in this country. Free traders believe that we should Jet the sheep industry die and make our country dependent upon Australia and Argentine for its supply of wool and mutton. This is fine for the importers but bad business for the American people. Free traders argue that we should buy our chemicals from South America, our cloth from England and France, our butter from Denmark and so on indefinitely. If this policy is to be pursned what are the people to do who are now producing these commodities in this country and are capable! of supplying the home demand?” An Original Supporter OHN BROOKS of Mineral Wells, Texas, brother the Tribune at his far away Texas home and is pleased with it. He writes: “I am very much sur- prised to receive such an up-to-date newspaper, pub- lished in Casper. Yon are entitled to great credit for producing a newspaper so -perfect in all re- spects.

Jenney's expeditionary route of the jpreceding summer. At the Custer stockade, near the present site of Cus- ter City, South Dakota, and along French Creek. we left several groups already settled for the winter and ventured into the unknown but cup” posedly richer gola fields to the north ward. * We four partners had laid In a six |months’ supply of miners’ and sol ders’ rations at Denver and Chey enne, except fresh meat. On the way up from the railroad we had been eat- ing bu‘talo and antelope and we knew|* With that pride which presages r that the hills sheltered plenty of black and white tailed deer, Ovc~ the divide we at once struck Spring creck, reputed to be the best prospecting stream visited by Jenny. Ten miles down we found several pros. pect holes offering some encourage ment, so we made a midday camp and found a meadow! half a mile wide washed by a considerable stream that debouched “into Spring areek, with plenty of spruce and jack pine at hand, After dinner we looked over the land, voted to move in and Palmer's, Guich was born. Everybody rejoiced. The tired horses rolled in tho belly deep sun cured grass. We had fuel, water and protection from the northeast winds and were a half mile from the only road, but out of sight from it. Noth- ing bothered us except the inevitable snows and ice of Dakota, Wa had a wall tent, two axes, a four foot cross- cut saw, hatchet, plenty of picks and shovels and a keg of assorted nails to work with. ‘Two of the party were expert ax- men. Another killed a couple of black- tails—mule deer—before dark the next day. I snaked in the logs, which were quickly notched. Shests of slate were got out for the chimney and stiff clay dug for mortar and floor covering. We used a pair of horses with lariats to parbuckle the logs after four tiers had been rolled or lifted by hand. A section sawed out of a log in each cabin prepared the way for a canvas covered window. We cut up parts of the wagon bodies to make doors and two worn bootlegs provided the material for the hinges. Rude benches and dining tables were made from split punch- eons. Poles and balsam boughs were first class materials for bunks; upon our wagon sheets. The roofs were spruce boughs and overlaid with clay, AND REMEMGER WE'RE made of straight poles covered with) THE FRIEND OF THE HOMESTEADER and the soft soll floors’ were vigor-; ously tamped with moist clay. There was no union labor—no car. penters, plumbers, gasfitters, brick sand or cement men to piacate in the construction of two very satisfactory cabins, which were our homes for nearly six months. Before the first real snowfall we moved into them, happy and care free. On December 23 I made, T think, the first washboard used north of Fort Laramie. Tukirg a two fggt piece of pine I split and hewed off sap and heart until I had a slab afoot wide and ax inch and a half thick With a pencil I drew lines across the slab half an inch apart; then with saw and:pocket knif I notched out a fairly, effective washboard. My fellows did me high honor and that washboard worked practically three-eight hour shifts for the next few days. fail IY attempted a Christmas “ple. Thinking to surprixe the boys I sug- gested that one of the partners who had been a hotel man take a saddle horse and bear our Christmas gree! ings to a nelghbor down the gulé and in some way I managed to get rid of the other two. Then I brought out the dried apples, sugar, baking pow- der and, of course, flour. Having no butter I used deer fat. With this abundant material I built a ple entirely satisfactory to my eye and hid it pending the return of my mates and the approach of the dinner hour. Later I learned that dried ap- ples were usually subjected to a pre- Uminary cooking before being incorp- orated into a pie; also that a tin cup full of venison lard was a little more) than one pie required. So any credit I gained by means of my washboard fell before the gibes of the more expert cooks. —GBORGE W. STOKEs. New York. Deserves a Rest whet se Piling up in the neighborhood of five hundred bills on the doorstep of the Senate, {s the way Mr. Mondell ex- pressed the manner in which the mem- bers of the House of Représentatives took leave of absence from Washing- ton in order to enjoy a very much needed and a very well earned rest from legislative duties. These bills referred to include some of the most important ones now before Congress and it is the hope of house members that they will be speedily acted upon and finally passed in the Senate. The House has labored faith- fully upon these measures for many months and while the Senate is en: these we placed sweet sweiling mat-; gaged In considering them, they will tresses of hay and covered them with| enjoy a few weeks rest and try and get acquainted with the needs and the problems of the home folks.—Baggs } By aZ ‘WITH YOu FRANK The Fundamental Issue “The issue of theplacardatEmpori... has been spectacular,” noted the Kan- sas City Star. “But it ought not to be allowed to obscure the fundamental issue of the right of the people .to transportation, Porarily in abeyarce, atvéntion may oneé more be directed on the splendid fight Governor Allen is making to en- force the industrial court act and maintain the essential service of the railways. “On this point there can be no two opinions. William Allen White, while differing from the governor on the ‘4 question of the placard, says in the Emporia Gazette tha: Henry, Allen has been ‘brave and patriotic’ in adminis- tering the law as he interpreted {t. Also the governor has been effective. “Troops have been used, where it Was apparent that their presence Would be likely to prevent trouble. In each case there have been protests from the towns which felt that the presence of the soldiers would reflect upon their reputation for order. Polit- ical opponents naturally selzed the op- portunity to represent the governor as an autocrat and oppressor. “In the face ‘of all this opposition and uproar Governor Allen has. gone ahead with the matn purpose of keen. ing the railroads running, and giving tha necessary protection to the men who were willing to work. Because of his firmness, known courage and his ability to keep his head he has been remarkably successful. The pro- tection has been afforded so far with- out ‘disorder. Kansas has been fortunate in hav- ing the administration of the law in this great industrial emergency in such Sompetent: hands.” Looking Backward I am one who has reached the stage at which the limit of life appears. Most of us believe there is another life to come but have not fully ac- cepted man made revelations. We grope in conceptions because the finite cannot fathom the scheme of the infinite. Most of us hope for an- other life as an addendum to this one, which in the main course and conclu- sion is unsatisfying, and we therefore feel ourselves entitled to a supplement in compensation for that experienced. Reaching down to fundamentals, the candid one in retrospecticn must make admission that we are largely the architects of our own misfortune.
