Wants Lower Tariff Senator Underwood wants to be president of the United States. It is a laudable ambi- tion and we think he is the best active candi- date ef his party now in the field.

Some of the ablest presidents we hava |ever had were sadly lacking in what we often call “personality Mr. Underwood is best known through the tariff measure for which he stood sponsor while chairman of the ways and means com- mittee of the National House of Reépresenta- tives. Many of his admirers had hoped that he had experienced a change of heart and that he was ashamed of the measure which proved to be such an incubus on the prosperity of the country.

Register complaints before 8 o'clock More Vital Importance | Now that the flurry over the award of the} ok peace plan prizes has died down, public | faterset pain oS to anothcr matter of vital importance to the welfare of the United States. A national election is before us and questions of grave import, questions involving the pros- perity of the country for a term of years, ques- * tions involving our relations to other nations, uestions involving perhaps the very perpet- | tity of our poviennent are to be determined by | the results of that election. When the issues are so° grave, it behooves every American to take his part in determining the policy of the ‘national government. And yet there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of vot- ers who are likely to stay away from the polls. | After having neglected their privilege of voting, nay, more, their duty to vote, these same individuals will be loudest in complaining if governmental matters do not go to suit them.| Failing to exercise their own prerogatives, they will complain because, through that neglect, rhaps, the wrong administration is ushered Tito power. My Lady Nicotine The cigarette seems to be conquering the world. Fifty billion manufactured cigarettes were sold in the United States in 1923 and no count can be made of the millions or billions that were “rolled.” Per capita consumption of tobacco increased 22 per cent in the last two years. There was an increase in the output of cigars, smoking tobacco and snuff, though ~ cigarette production showed the greatest. gain. Many men are letting the pipe go out and rolling a cigarette. Many are laying aside the cigar and taking up the cigarette. New smokers, boys and girls, begin on the cigarette and gen- erally stick to it. Nine billion cigars were made in the United States last year and more than three hundred and fifty-nine million pounds of smoking tobacco were sold, a great proportion of which went into the home-rolled cigarette, but the old-fashioned pipe got its share. Over thirty-séven million pounds of snuff were sold, and it is not clear whether all this went for “snuffing” or whether some of it was used as insecticide. There was a decline in tobacco put up for chewing, and this decline has con- tinued since 1897, which was the peak year for chewing. The plug and the quid are passing, but the. cigarette, cigar and pipe are, burning nearly everywhere, although “No Smoking” signs are becoming more numerous. It is es- -timated that there are thirty million users of tobacco in the United States. ‘ The figures are stupendous and to many persons alarming. Adjournment Members of congress are said to be worrying more or less for fear they will not be able to finish their work and adjourn in time for the national convention in accordance with well-es- tablished tradition in favor of that course. Recent history indicates that they may have ground for worry; for although no trouble was experienced in getting legislativo work out of the way early in June 1920, Congress was in ses- sion in September 1916, and until the last week in August 1912. President Wilson’s insistence upon carrying through his legislative program together with everybody’s worry about the war accounts for the long session eight years ago; while twelve years ago, President Taft had Congress on his hands all summer because a Tjemocratic senate and a Republican house could not agree on a tariff bill. On the whole, it will be better if Congress manages not to follow the two exceptional ex- amples of eight and twelve years ago, but goes back to the old practice which enabled the coun- try to fight out its national elections over a per- iod of forty-eight years without keeping one eye on Washington. An election is enough to think about without a congressional sideshow, and it is desirable that. both parties go to the country with their legislative records complete and ready for consideration early in the cam- paign. A Democratic Angel Ed. L. Doheny, who has a pot of money, is ® generous angel, not only for an old-time friend but for ‘the Democratic party, of which he is a leading member. A mere loan of $100,000 -to an old friend means no more to him than his $250,000 gift to the Democratic national campaign fund. In 1916, when Woodrow Wil- son, with the California vote was reelected by a bare margin, Doheny, of California, was cred- ited with beifg the heaviest contributor to the Democratic campaign fund. In gnition of the generosity of the Democrati arty’s ange’ “Mr. Doheny was placéd in nomination for the Vice Presidency at the 1920 conyention at San Francisco. Doheny, who was a delegate to the San Francisco convention and a member of the platform committee, yas proposed as a running mate to @6x hy a speaker who declared him a “great patriot to stand beside Cox to make the fight for humanity, and as one who “can reach | spite of regenerate, if we are to believe his own words. This is what he is reported to have said on Jan- poe 23, before the University Club of Akron, 0. “The tpriff which bore my name represented considerably lower rates than are now in effect, but under it there was prosperity in business of all sorts. The present rates should be sharply reduced.” We will admit that there was business ac- tivity in the United States during a portion of the life of the Underwood tariff but that ceva tivity was not due to that tariff but came in| it. Within a few weeks after t enactment of the Underwood tariff in 19 hard times. began. Manufacturing plants shut down because of the foreign competition result ing from “the considerably Jower rates” of duty, and unemployment, want and suffering followed. This suffering was ameliorated only by “bread lines” and other forms of charity When the war broke out in Europe a period of increased activity followed, but it was far from being “prosperity.” In fact, it was a period of suffering to a large portion of our people. Many were thrown out of their usual lines of employ- | ment and were forced to do work for which they had no training or fitness. Some made money. but the war period was by no means a period of healthy prosperity. Leaving, for the moment, the consideration of the war period, there is no one who does not know that after the close of the war and its proximate effects, a period of such employment followed as this country has never before known. According to official statistics issued by the bureau of labor, there were at one time more than five million idle workmen in the United States and this was under Mr. Under- wood’s boasted tariff. He is welcome to all the satisfaction which he can get out of that situation. The voters repudiated his tariff by a majority of seven million, and it was not until after a protectionist administration was again in charge of the government that unem- ployment ceased and prosperity returned. Public I hope that tn all that relates to personal firmness, all that concerns @ just appreciation of the Insigni- ficance of human life, whatever may be attempted to threaten~or alarm & soul not éasily swayed by opposi- tion, or awed or intimidated )by menace; a stout heart and a steady eye that can survey, unmoved and undaunted, any mere personal perils that assail this poor, transient, paragement compare with other men. There is, however, a sort of cour- age which, I frankly confess it, I do not possess, a boldness to which I dare not aspire, a valor which I can not covet. I can nét lay my- self down in the way of the welfare and the Happiness of my country. That I.can not, I have not the cour- age to do. I can not interpose the power with which I may be in- vested, a power conferred, not for my personal benefit nor for my agerandizement, but for my coun- try’s geod, to check her onward march to greatness and glory. f have not courage enough. I am too cowardly for that. I would not, I dare nbt, in the exercise of such a trust, He down and place my body across the path that leads my country to prosperity and happiness. This is a) sort of courage widely different from that which a man may display in his private conduct and personal rela- Personal or private courage tions. Virtue s totally distinct from that higher snd nobler courage which prompts he patriot to offer himself a volun- ary sacrifice to his country’s good» Apprehensions of the imputation of the want of firmness sometimes impel us to perform rash and 'in- considerate acts. courage to be able to bear the im- amiable and offensive in private life, are vices which partake of the char acter of crimes in the conduct of public affairs. The unfortunate victim of these passions can ‘not see beyond the little, petty, contempt- ble circle of his own personal in- terests. All his thoughts are with- drfwn from his country and con- centrated on his consistency, his firmness, himself. The high, the exalted, the sublime emotions of a patriotism, which, soaring toward heaven, rises far above all mean, low or selfish things, and is absorbed by one soul- transporting thought of the good and the glory of one’s country, are never felt in his impenetrable bosom. That patriotism which, catching its inspirations from the immortal God, and leaving at an im- measurable distance below all lesser, groveling, personal ipterests and feelings, animates and prompts to deeds of self-sacrifice, of valor, of devotion and of death itself—that is public virtue, that is the noblest, the sublimest of all publig virtues. ~—Henry Clay.

But a war period itself was the best possible proof. of the value of protection against the competition of foreign products, for the exigen- cies of war practically destroyed foreign. com- petition. It did more than a protective tariff ever did, it absolutely shut out competitive pro- ducts. It increased domestic production,. not only to supply our own needs, but also to supply increased foreign demands. It afforded ab- solute Protection. At the heart Mr. Underwood knows and must realize these things, but he is desirous of a nom- ination for the Presidency at the hands of the free-trade party and naturally he has to stand by free-trade policies, especially such as have been enacted into law under his own leadership. Really, we cannot understand how so able. a man as Mr. Underwood can believe that the tariff which bears his name was a good thing for the prosperity of the people of the United States. The Home Markets _ While foreign trade and foreign markets are important and are stoutly promoted by inter- nationalists, export corporations and the De partment of Commerce, nevertheless it frequent- ly dawns upon the minds of these gentlemen and writers in their behalf, that the best and surest markets, after all, are the home markets. It is boasted that our export trade in 1923 was something like $4,000,000,000; yet it is sel- dom recalled that our domestic trade in 1923 was approximately $50,000,000,000. That was the volume of manufactures, and farm products sold and consumed in the home markets, What better argument in favor of protecting the home market could one ask for? ‘What If? > Just-supposing, to please the several political groups in Washington, that the bonus bill was passed, the Mellon tax reduction proposal was defeated, the tariff laws were repealed and the railroads and leading public utilities turned over to the politicians for government operation. The bonus would add in round numbers from $2,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 expense, rejection of Mellon’s proposal would continue a useless $300,000,000 tax expenditure annually, repeal of | the tariff laws would do away with $500,000,000 | annual revenue now secured from this source, while the railroads in less than two years’ under government ownership piled up a deficit of nearly $2,000,000,000. This would make a pretty good start toward doubling our present exces- sive tax bill. Think it over, Mr. Voter, for you mix your own medicine when it comes to paying taxes, Present Day Movement The ultimate result which will come if we con- tinue along the path we are now treading and which is peculiar in our system of government, is the destruction of the states or their feduc. tion to a condition of inanition through the ab- sorption of government functions by the cen- tral government at Washington.
