WASHINGTON (NKA Special).
"I'ncle Joe" Kordney, co-author
of Uncle Sam's last tariff, bill,
has been "born again."
Not that ho has Been "new
light" either In politics or roller
ton, or that his views on n high
protective tariff have changed.
That, for Undo Joe, would Involve
cn entire recreation, not simply
a new birth.
But the national Republican
mouthpiece of the G. O. P. In a
lute number included the former
tariff framor as among "notable
Republican leaders who have re
cently died."
This information wus quite a
shock when it reached Baklnaw,
Mich., whoro Fordney has been
living since he returned from con
gress two years ago. Neither Sag
inaw nor Uncle Joe wore aware
that he was dead, So they im
mediately - queried the National
Republican, seeking pnrtlc Jlnrs. If
he was dead corporeally as well
us politically, they wanted to know
about it.
Having thus prematurely killed
of Sagniaw's most distinguished
citizen, it really seemed up to
the Republican to do something.
To print a retraction, however,
or to make a correction, would
put the paper on record, in black
and white, as, as huvlng been in
having been In error. And a par
tisan publication never likes to
admit that It makes mistakes. It
follows the old theory: "What
the Republican says In so.'
What else, however, could be
done? The editor scratched his
bald -head for an Idea.
. And ho got it.
Tho paper had said Fordney
was dead. He wasn't dead; there
fore he must be brought to life
without Involving the paper in an
admitted error. The only way
peeined to be to have him born
again. '
Ho the editor sent down to the
composing room, . marked as
"Must" copy, the following notice,
which was duly published
next issue; '
in the
"HORN: Joseph W. Kordney of
Saginaw, .Mich. May ho live
many years us If ho were starting
