Women from all parties haye been Jed by her attack to support Mr. Coolidge for president. GF Miss Marbury criticised Mrs. Coolidge at a TZyuncheon in honor of Mrs. John W. Davis, wife -of the Democratic candidate for president. This ven by the women district leaders Miss Marbury, who was the t length with the early on a farm in Ver- . Coolidge doing her Juncheon wis ¢ “ ynurried life of the Coolic “mont, and poked fun at Mr wing ani baking, and referred to this "i and bakin in general sof the Covlidges as “milk pail stuff.” The fact that Mrs. Coolidge before her marriage had re- iceived the small wages of a country school teach- ‘er and that the Coolidges had fonnd it necessary to practice economy in their carly married lite “*was not mentioned by Miss Marbury. How Much Longer? In Massachusetis robbers hurled a rock through window and made way with jewelry yalued at 41,00. In El Paso bandits lined up nine men and shot them to death and escaped with a £815,000 payroll. Back in a Pennsylvania town, $ bandits killed a railway express guard and took as their loot, a $40,000 payroll. Robbers mur- dered a Connecticut policeman, when they were caught blowing safes in a department store. A while ago we were told that all this band- “"itryy lawlessness, etc., was the aftermath of the ‘war. The war has been over some time now. How ..much longer can we blame the war for all the «Ration’s ills? It’s time to find a new excuse. And, while look- ing around for this excuse we will do well to take into consideration at the same time the dis- Frespect for all law and order which has fol- Jowed so closely in the wake of an amendment to =,our constitution. ‘: Utter disregard for the laws of a nation have led to grave consequences, history shows. Rome *tottered and fell. Others have come to grief as “did Rome. It is not well for us complacently to “gay, “It can’t happen to us.” History shows that * it has happened. It can happen again. Twentieth century progr is rapi nd a thing to marvel at; but it’s time for the civilization of this day to look ahead to the future with grave serious: ~oness just as long as we travel along the path that Wwe are now traversing, not heeding the danger signs along the way. As the Case Stands As the case stands it looks as if President Coolidge would secure an election in spite of the *copposition of both Davis and LaFollette. The latter’s sixty-eight votes include the votes of some “states that are far more likely to go to Gool- <idge. Most states that Davis may hope for out- side of the solid south are more likely to go tu -/Coolidge than to him. This is the tendency that is operating because of the major issue of consti- -etutionalism raised by LaFollette's attack upon ‘the supreme court and by his other radical prop- ositions. It is certain that LaFollette cannot be elected “by the people. It is certain that Davis cannot be elected by the people. The only uncertainty is as -to whether Coolidge can be. Only by his election can the issue be kept out of congi where it might become the football of polit not only defeating the will of the people but disturbing athe whole nation. As the case stands, we believe othis misfortune will be avoided and that Presi- dent Coolidge will be elected, as he should be, by a plurality that will leave no doubt as to the 8, temper of the people when the stability and in- tegrity of their political institutions are at tacked. . Loyal Visits The sovndest sense coming out of the Demo- ‘cratic ranks this campaign comes from Bain- ‘bridge Coll of state in the Wilson cabinet, wh : — “We believe in the American form of govern e-ment. We are not ready to mutilate the consti- f tution. We have no patience with the restless } and inconsiderate demand for the abridgement of + the powers of our courts. We are not prepared to substitute the passing whim of congress for the sober reasoning and the steadfast loyalty of our . judges exercising their functions in conformity “With the constitution and defending institutions which time has tested and approved. We will not surrender our fundamental liberties into the keeping of communists or socialists, or class conscious blocs or groups or social revolution- aries, or any such thing, call them what you like. They are alien and un-American. The Calamity Party The third party seems to live on suspicion and calumny. It attacks every one and e ‘ing but itself: It would have you believe that every- thing is rotten in business in finance, in diplo- macy. You would think that this is the unhap- piest country on earth, whereas it is: the ong country envied of all; the country of highest wages, of the best living conditions, of the great- est opportuniti where even the poor in every- day life haye comforts and conveniences which most of the well-to-do in other countries do not enjoy. You canont have progress without the security. It would not take much to destroy our prosperity. All you have to do is to shatter con- fidence. This would happen if the third party should really approach success. Tariff Ignorance “The average production of sugar in Louisiana is one ton to the acre. Phe average production in Cuba is four tons to the acre with cheaper labor. It is to'make up this difference to a few Loujsiana sugar planters that 112,000,000. inhab- itants of ‘the Unite@ States are taxed one and three-quarter cents a pound on their sugar.”— Topeka Journal. It is regrettable that the foregoing statement is in line with the misunderstanding many peo- ple have of the sugar tariff. As a matter of fact, Louisiana cane growers are but a small part of the American sugar industry. A_tariff of one and three-quarter cents means $1.75 a hundred pounds. If the average American family,uses three sacks of sugar yearly, theoret- lly they pay $5.25 more for sugar than they might pay if the foreigner did not have to pay this $5.25 as a tariff tax to support our govern- ment when he ships his sugar here. Yet our domestic beet sugar production is the safeguard that prevents us from being complete- ly at the mercy of the foreign sugar producer as to prices, But for the tariff that enables Ameri- can sugar preducers to exist and compete, Ameri- can consumer would pay a higher price for sugar than he now pays with tariff tax, Also, any re- duction in the tax now levied on foreign sugar, now aggregating about $100,000,000 a year, would have to be made up by increased taxes on Ameri- can property. In discussing the tariff question, it straight as a business, suc. let us get and not a political is- Tariff Facts for Farmer After reading various discussions of the tariff question which are broadcast to the American public purely from a political angle, an Ameri- can citizen interested in’ seeing more business and less politics instilled in governmental affairs is impressed with the wilfully or criminally isleading statements that are made on the ; ff question in order to influence the farmer yote. The tariff is for two purposes: tect producers against destructive petition; ernment, The tariff as it exists today is a matter of fact not of conjecture. Why tell the farmer that the tariff fails to protect him or that it does pro- tect him if the statements cannot be substant- iated from the public records? Why say that the tariff increases the price of what the farmer buys and reduces the price of what he sells when the following facts are open to public inspection? Let the tariff question be considered from the standpoint of protecting the farmer, protecting the werker and raising revenue for the govern- ment. Neither the Republican nor the Democratic party should have a corner on such a program which affects all the people of this nation. When the people are informed on this subject, relieica will be eliminated from the tariff ques- 100.

T vonference board points out that the to. tal amount spent‘for government in 1923 wa equivalent to 98 per cent of the total paid out in fyages and salaries in 1921 by all manufacturins plants in the country covered by the census of manufactures. Third party leaders have always exclaimed against monopolies, but if all public utilities were brought together under government opera- tion they would form a bigger monopoly than was ever dreamed of before.

Failing on the two vital points for public utilities, cost and service, the city ownership is beirig assailed by the Cleveland newspaper press with such headlines as these: -“Public Ownership is Robbery.”— Cleveland Topics. ‘ “Visions Passing of 3-Cent Light” —Plain Dealer. . “Light Plant in Bad Condition, Says Wright.'"—Press. “City Light Rate May Be -Raised to Add to Plant.”—News. satisfactory : tendency under free trade is for Prue pamstals yurcneies ; or elsewhere, and sell them in tie wares, thereby curtailing moving right along; own activities. where they properly belong; ‘re going to cast our ballots,-and we'll cast them mighty strong, results as shown by figures without showing the vital reasons why such results have always followed simi- lar adventures into business fields. With such records to go by the country still has public ownership enthusiasts who would saddle this system on to cities, states and the nation itself. Trade Expansion The first. nine months of the cur- rent year, ended September, compar- ed with the corresponding period of 1923, indicates something of a de- cregse in imports, while the aver- age rate of duty on all imports re mains practically the same as it has been since the Fordney-MeCumber tariff law was enacted in 1922, or about 15 per cent. Imports totaled $2,682,000,000, indicating a total for 1924 of about $3,600,000,000 or nearly twice the pre-war total, so it is ev ident there is nothing prohibitive about the presnt law. Customs re $415,000,000, indicat. 550,000,000 for the full year, which is precisely the average for the two fiscal years of 1923 and 1924, ended June 30th. This shows a remarkable stability. Exports for the 1924 period show $165,000,000 increase, animal pro- ducts increasing slightly, and some increases in flour and other agricul- tural Items, with a marked increase in fruits, nuts and vegetables. The total of exports was $3,105,000,000, the favorable balance being $423,000,- 000, or an average of $47,000,000 ao month. A. striking characteristic of the trade was that while imports of manufactures ready ‘for consump- tion acounted for about 20 per cent of the total sales abroad, and it Is on this class of goods that the greatest amount of time labor, and capital are expended. This means that the American laborer, manufacturer, miner, and producers generally of the raw materials get a chancg at ‘hose materials all the way up the ine, every man taking a profit in wages or sales in his contribution to the work represented by the finished more hot afr. year than last.

That this farmer prosperity is being trans- lated into buying is shown by the rapidly mounting sales of such con- cerns as Sears, Roebuck & Co., and Montgomery Ward & Co., the latter company's sales for September were 36 per cent greater than for the same month last year.
