This was just ore month before election. The Democratic party, taking ad- vantage of the short time which the Republicans had before election to explain their bill to the country, played a trick on the voters. It is known in political history as the tin cup trick. It was Tale: dere was to be a tariff onstin plate, the sreends and supporters built for him when wey endorsed bum, is that of the Nonpartisan Icague at the Douglas convestion. |. Jt will ve recaied that Mr. Kendrick |his pleasure and gratification over the endorsement ut twe Douglas conterence, and it must therefore be assumed tnat he subscribes to its platform. ‘That platform favors public ownership of railroads and coal mines. it opposes government co-operat with the states, or as they call it, ~“muvching government dollars.” It proposes to take frum tne courts the power to declare unconstitu- tional the acts of the state legislature. It favors the initiative, referendum and recall, including, we assume, that of judges. * Che Casper Daily Cribine Mickey (Himself) McGuire. | | Mr. Kendrick’s managers co-operated in calling - | this convention, dominated it from the start, anit | sought on behalf of Mr. Kendrick the endorsement he received.

That is trutnfal advertising. ‘fhe other kind, the false and iis leading kind, made so deliberately, is of no profit) to the candidate or party using it and more often reacts against the party than it imposes upon the) reading public. Fe | | Take some of the matter appearing in the Dem-} ocratic weeklies of late in the interest of Demo- cratic candidates, appealing to class prejudice. The} purpose designedly to make it appear to the poor man that Senator Kendrick yoted for the excess! profits tax in the revenue bill and Mondell against it. That the former's vote was i, the interest of the poor man, and the latter’s vote in the interest of the rich man, | To convey any such impression the writers of this advertising deiiberately falsified the record in the case. | | Senator Kendrick did not vote for the excess profits tax at all. The bill came to final vote No- vember 7, 1921. He is recorded as not yoting, as cat be ‘readily learned by reference to the Con-| gressional Record, Volume 61, Page 7524, first ses- sion of the Sixty-seventh congress, | The record also discloses the fact that Mr.| Kendrick is recorded as not voting eleven times | out of twelve that same day. | On the one and only occasion upon which he did vote that day it was for an amendment to exempt certain Missouri securities from taxation. The excess profits tax was purely a war meas- ure, and was repealed along with such other bur-! jdens as the transportation tax and other nui-| jsances, and to carry into effect the declarations |of the Republican ‘platform, which policies re-| ceived at the previous election some 7,000,000 plur-} ality votes of the American people. The most bewildering proposition in this Dem-| ocratic advertising is that if Senator Kendrick deems the excess profits tax so vital now why did the not vote for it then. Is it possible that he |was following a habit he seems to have contracted on occasion when decision is to be made, and|/ was paired.

But they have never been able to point back to the operation and results of any protective tariff and show that it brought about the conditions that they said it would bring about. oR pi Things He Stands For S LONG as his party was in power, Senator Kendyick, up to the very last, remained the champion, the proponent and the defender of the | Wilson administration—ail it did and all it stood mits he is still for the League of Nations, and in this particular and many others he still stands as the defender, or at least the apologist, of the Wilson administration.

Prices of things will be doubled, if we have the iff.” rot course, they didn’t sell many tin cups, bu that was not the object. They fooled many un thinking people, and had some influence in elect- ing Cleveland with his free-trade administration, which brought on the greatest panic this nation has ever known. , The Republican party is now going before the people with a new tariff bill—the most scientific tariff bill ever formulated and the first one ever based on the findings of the tariff commission. — The Democratic party, wishing to defeat it, i: reviving the tin-cup tactics, planning to fool the women. They believe ihat woman is a soft, gullible creature, over whose eyes they can easily “pull the wool.” Woh They are pretending there will be a big rise in prices “on account of the tariff.” It reminds us of the “on account of the war” graft which we have just been through. We cannot believe our sensible American women are going to be deceived. Without knowing all the technicalities of the tariff issue, they have learned to have confidence in the Republican party with its protective tariff policy and practice, They know that*we have had almost fifty years of Republican- ism and protective tariff since the civil war; and that during these years we have grown to be the richest nation on earth.

CRITICISM of the newly. enacted protective tariff, Democratie publicity mediums and cam- ign speakers are offering nothing new. ° The violent denunciations and exag; tions | |which are made by the free trade outfit t ry have been made by free traders every time a protective) \tariff was under consideration. | | The last protective tariff to be enacted was tho! T'ayne-Aldrich law. It was before congress during! the summer of 1909, passing the senate July 8, of| that year and becoming a law August 5, 19097 Dur jthe months it was under consideration the editorial | columns of Democratic newspapers were filled with savage onslaughts upon the dill nnd woeful! prepictions as to results should the bill become the law. As a sample here are some of the expressions from the New York World of that day: | “It is safe to. say that this bill means nothing! less than ten billion dollars in taxation in one way} or another.” | “Moloch. himself was bet Httle more cruel than this modern Mammon of protection.” ‘ “Cost of living will go up 25 per cent.” “Tariff burdens are making the public round- shouldered.” | “The law will burden beyond calculation of hu-| |man intellect the struggling people of this country.” | “The bil} is a blow at the American home, the |American breakfast table, and the American) woman.” | “No greater or more unjust burden in the guise jof tariff was ever laid upon a free people than that contained in the proposed bill.” “To the American consumer the tariff bill dou-| bles the price of one of the prime necessities of life—sugar.” ‘The tariff on wool will make clothing higher.” Clothing will be increaed in price by 25 per cent |to 100 per cen | Does not this sound natural? 'pai variation? Whatever variation there is, is im the |direction of moderation. ‘As, for example, the World charged that the Payne-Aldrich bill would increase the cost of living ten billion dollars. This! is three times as much as the free traders claim the present tariff will increase the cost of living. | Yet, as everyone knows, the Payne-Aldrich law did} not increase the cost of living at all. Neither will {the present law. present tariff law will increase the coct of living 10 per cent. Mr. Babson is. very conservative as! compared with the New York World’s prediction in cost of living 25 per cent. We are hearing today the same story as was then told in the World about the protective tariff being a blow at the American breakfast table, rob- sugar, while the price of wool is now also predicted |to be a certain forerunner of a rise in the price of | clothing. ‘There was no justification for any of these wild “| raga Are not these) same charges being made today with scarcely any| Mr. Babson recently raised the alarm that the) 1909 that the protective tariff would increase the} bing the American woman, raising the price of! Counting Ancestors. Explanation of the apparent mathe- matical failacy of a person having some trillions of ancestors fifty gen erations back. Perhaps the following Will ald in straightening the puzzl Let us assume that thirty families, each consisting of a father and mother and their children, coming from separate villages and belonging to @ strict and clannish religious sect. emigrated to a renfte and unsettled land, and there established a commu- nity, discouraging all intercourse with the outer world. ‘ ’ Suppose that an average of five chil- dren from each family married and reared families of their own. If the same ratio of children were born to these secenty-five couples, and the same average of five children to a family married, there would be 188 fourth generation would have eignt grandparents, and the 940 collectively would have 7,520 grandparents, or about 125 times, more ancestors than the original settlers. If the community kept itself clear from outside intercourse and all mar- were confined to the original strains, a child of the tenth generation would have mathematically 2,048 an- cestors, nearly thirty-five times the original sixty. From the foregoing !t is apparent that the original thirty couples would be the founders of seventy descending strains each in the tenth generation. The child of this generation is entitied mathematically to his 2,048 ancestors, but by reason of the complicated in- termingling of the lines of descent through marriage the original ‘sixty |parents became eventually the first ancestors of every being in the en- |tire community. What is true of this hypothetical community 1s true of the world at llarge. If one were to go into the ancestry of the people of any nation it would be necessury to go tack only a few generations to uncover a dupli- cation of ancestral lines that would soon reconcile the mathematical fig- ures with thi A.

John Paul Jones Editor Tribune: Wili you kindly an- swer the following question in to morrow’s Tribune: Did John Paul Jones, of Revolution- ary fame, ever have a battle at sea with a French man of war or a French ship of any kind? John Paul, Jones was born 1747, at Arbigland, parish of Kirkbean, county of Kirkcudbright, Scotland. Son of a Scotch peasant named John Paul. Sent to sea at an early age in the West Indian trade.

Set- tled ‘n Virginia 1773, became a plan- ter anc assumed the surname of Jones In complianée with the condition of an inheritande of property of his brother, William Paul, from a beno- factor med William Jones. At tl outbreak of the Revolution he espoused the cause of the American colonies. Was consulted by the Con- tnental congress concerning the or- ganization: of a navy.

Then as captain commanded in turn the Providence, Alfred and Ran- ger. Harassed the British coast and captured the Drake off Carrickfergus, 1778. Was idle for a time in France.
