The Man of Courage It is purely a question of right and of protect- ing the interests of the whole people and of playing personal politi That is the whole question of the bonus in a nut shell. That in- cludes the mception of the bonus bill, its pas- sage by the congress, its veto by the president and its repassage over the president’s veto. The president is consistent with the declared policy of the people and the Republican party, to bring the expenditures of the government within its revenues, to adhere firmly to the budget sys- tem, to exercise vigilant economy in all branches of the government, to the end that the burdens of taxation may be lifted from the people. The president in this case is a gentleman of firmness and courage. He holds that the interests of the whole people are above those of any minority group or interest. In fea rlessly performing his duty to the people, he no thought of his personal interest nor of his political fortunes. On the other hand the congress is a traitor to the people. Has stultified itself by passing a Jaw that in no respect answers the require- ments that will one day be due the former sery- ice men, not as bonus or reward, but as actual recompense for service to the whole people in time of war. The day of adjustment is not now, and will not be at hand until the whole people have had some of the burdens of war and waste lifted from their shoulders, and have had time and opportunity to reconp some share of. the substance that has been wrenched from them by reason of the necessities-ang wastes of the war. The president stands the defender and the protector of the interests of the people. The congress holds to the mistaken theory that an ll-considered and faulty law thrown as a sop to elean honorable and patriotic defenders of the flag will win the votes of the great body of former service men. It is pure fallacy, pure pol- i demagogy. It shows the depths to which an American congress can descend to enhance political fortunes. No American citizen, worthy of the title, has ever denied or attempted to evade the justice of the obligation on the part of the people to the former service men. No government on earth has been more liberal in its consideration for its defenders. It was not a denial of justice on the people’s part. It was an unwillingness, at the moment to increase obligations upon them- selves and their neighbors that well might deferred to a more suitable time, and a better financial dé The president interpreted the will of the people. The congress floundered in selfish politics. The president’s fearless states- manship has served to direct greater attention to a pettifogging congress. Whatever may befall, and surely no {ll will come to the president at the hands of a people he has served so well, no man will accept the verdict of his countrymen, whatever it may be, with better grace, than Calvin Coolidge. Thank God for a man of courage in the White Touse. y. Your Straw Hat This is the edge of the straw hat season. June first is the official date. Presently your Stet- son, Knox and Dunlap will be hung away in the closet, and only brought outfor service on cool . What are you going to do about hat this year? Are you going to pat- ronize your industries at home or are you going to give your patronage to manufacturers of Italy and Germany and accept the style they are pre- senting this season? The atraw hat manufacturer {s hard hit at the present by the ever increasing importations from Furope. One factory in Maryland and another in the New England states have closed their doors. A factory in Baltimore recently celebrated its 50th anniversary by curtailing its operations to three-quarter time with a possibility that it will be shut down before the end of the month, In New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other large cities, foreign straw hats are retailing at prices in some instances lower than the cost of the materials. Since April first, more than 1,000,000 straw hats of foreign make haye reached the American market. In March 254, sewed straw hats, val ued at $162,289, or about sixty-four cents each, passed through the customs house. Of this total importation in March, Ttaly contributed 120,519 hats valued at $60,014 and Germany contrib- uted 54,626 hats valued at $27,299. Is it any won- Ger that the American manufacturer is facing a critical situation During the cight months of fiscal year ended in. February importations of straw hats not blocked or trimmed 12,072,849 hate of a value of $1,806,219. 7 is alncet ineiene number imported during the corresponding per jod in 1923, namely: 6,574,991 hats valued at #2, 080,364. It doesn’t require a college education to see from there figures what in happening, In 1923 the yalue of an imporicd hat, not blocked or trimmed, was about thirty-two cents, while in 1924 the yalue of the same hat was only four: in the White House, be} teen cents. To block the hat, add a band and piece of ribbon, also imported in all prabability, | is a simple job as far as the importer is con- cerned and the hat can still be sold far below the cost of manufacture in the United States. The. straw hat manufacturers have. applied to the tariff committee for relief under the flexible provisions of the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill. They thought it would be a simple matter to pre- sent their case, open their books and lay the cards on the table to the commission. The com- mission, however, looked the matter over sym- pathized with the manufacturers, and stated that they would like to investigate it but—con- gress didn’t supply them with enough money to conduct the investigation. The season for straw hats is now on. The tariff commission cannot help the manufacturers when help is needed the most, and if they could help them their inves- tigation would take months before a report could be made to the ‘president, therefore the only thing for them to do is to close their factories and go out of business until congress amends the tariff law to give them relief. This is the plain story of straw hats. The buyer and wearer of straw hats, when he. pur- chases his straw lid in a few days, has the plain proposition before him—does he desire to main- tain American wages, American standards of living and the prosperty of American industries? If he does he will examine closely the straw hat he buys and if he cannot find a label therein de- claring it to be “Made in America” he will look about until he does find such a straw hat or wear his American made wool hat this summer. If he is a true American he will not prove a trait- or to his fellow American workmen by enrich- ing foreign workmen at the expense of his own brothers. ‘ Fear Not and Tell the Truth The Democratic party 1s. secking to win the {coming election by a campaign of misrepresen- | tation. This is not to be wondered at, for they jcannot win by telling the truth. On the other hand, the Republicans cannot afford to misrepre- sent. Only by telling the truth can they win. To j tell the truth involves a whole lot of things. When the Republicans tell the truth they must of necessity expose the Democratic misrepresen- tation. They are compelled to show what the Re- publican party has accomplished. They have got to point to the facts of history and show that every time we haye a Democratic administration j we have unemployment and hard times, and that every time we have a Republican administration we have employment, increased production, busi- ness activity and good times. That is historical jand easily verified. | But the Republican party must acknowledge | that it has made some mistakes, as do all parties 2 is no }and all individuals. The tariff act of 19: a perfect Jaw. In a number of instances it has failed to give adequate protection to deserving and important industries. But what an improve- ment is the present tariff over the tariff of 1913, of which Mr. Underwood boasted that it contain- ed not a dollar of protection. The Republican party must acknowledge that some of its prominent members have been guilty of misdoing but what is “pot” that it should call “kettle” black? Without entering into the guilt jor innocence of any particular individual, the | facts are that there are as many Democrats un- der accusation as Republicans, if not more. Guilt is a personal matter, and neither party is com- | posed wholly of angels. Yet the Democratic or- ganization is trying to excite the country against Republicans because it is alleged that three or four prominent Republicans have connived with an equal number of Democrats to perform .ir- | regular acts, There is no campaign issue in that. | The dominant issue is one of economics. It is |; question as to whether the people of the Unit- ed States shall do their own work and prosper, or whether they shall permit foreigners to do | the work, while Americans suffer in idleness. The Democrats will ery for cheaper goods and to get the cheaper goods they will employ cheap- er labor, namely foreign labor. That means that a large portion of American workmen will be entlemen of leisure” aa they were just prior to the time the Republicans took over the man- agement of the government. Telling the truth | means that Republicans must point out that the | Democratic party turned over 5,000,000 idle work- men for the Republicans to provide for. Telling the truth means that it must be pointed out that the Republican party gaye them all a job at good pay. Do the people of the United States want to go back to idleness? Telling the truth means that the Republicans must admit that there are some idle men and mills at the present time. That is because-the laws passed by the Republicans have been. evad- ed. Is the remedy to be found by throwing down ali barriers and permitting all foreign preducts to come in without check and at such prices as will throw our workmen out of employment? Or is it to be found by demanding of the party which passed the law in the first place that it so strengthen it that it cannot be evaded? It is true that the Republican party has made mistakes, but they have been mistakes of execu- tion, the policy having been right, while the Democratic policy has been wrong. Telling the truth involves the saying that never before in the history of our government have the people been so fully employed and pros- perous. To turn it over to the Democrats would be to undo it all. That is the truth. Autonomy for Porto Rico Secretary of War Weeks has recommended that the people of Porto Rico be granted an auto nomous government in 1 A delegation of Porto Ricans was recently in Washington to urge changes in the organic law of the island, and Secretary Weeks, as chief of our insular possessions, was asked for an official opinion. | His recommendation that the islanders be al lowed in the near future to elect their governor and other officials ought to serve gs an object- lesson to the Filipinos.

Giddings, of Pennsyl- vania, during twenty years of’ ser- vice in Gngress, beginning in 1838 was a powerful influence in national affairs.

Preston Brooks, the Southern con- gressman whose fiery temper often embroiled him with the cooler north- ern members and once led him to make a brutal assault upon Senator Charles Sumner of Massachpsetts, took exception to a speech Giddings was making in the House, and in- terrupted him often, the argument finally becoming. acrimonious and leading to a taunting challenge from Brooks to a duel with pistols. ‘The hot statement brought from Giddings the reply: “I will fight you any time and place, and I need nothing more dead- ly as a weapon than a shilling raw- hide.” ‘The challenge was not renewed, acini & and INGE Mt.
