PROPHETS OF EVIL
" Herbert Hoover's United States Department of Commerce
,'hows that we imported during the first, 40 days of -the hew
Fordney tariff law $345,083,000 worth of goods, of which
about 65 per cent came in free '. ! , '
And the customs receipts for this 40 day period were
, $54,984,000, or at the rate of $1,374,000 a day. n
The average ad valorem duty on all goods imported for
,the period was 3lightly under 16 per cent, which is consider-
- ably lower than the Payne law of 1909, and the latter lower
. than the Dingley law of 1897. j
The new tariff law, the Department of Commerce heads
; believe, will "give us imports that will total nearly $3,250,
000,000,' while our exports will reach $4,500,000,000, which
, .would mean a favorable balance of $1,250,000,000, an amount
which wjll certainly be needed to take care of adverse in
visible balances due: to freights carried by foreign vessels,
- the money spent by tourists abroad, that sent abroad by for
feign "laborers in our factories and mines, to equip Coue with
: hospitals, to enrich Russian ballets and German opera sing
. ers, and Polish .pianists, and the futuristic J painters of the
:.Qld World.."--! "H -f-'- j ... , H ;i ,
Those who argue that the ideal situation ;f or a country is
one where outgo and income are about evenly' balanced can
: have, rto complaint (to make t , j , !
And the, prophets of , evil concerning the effects Of , the
new law are completely routed
' Included in the dutiable imports for the first 40 days
mentioned above were $4,299,000 for manufactures of flax
and hemp, and $2,057,000 for flaxseed. -
"' This woud indicate for a full year something like $40,
000,000 being paid for imported flax and hemp manufac-
lures, ano; arouna ji:u,wu,wu Deing paia ior naxseea.
r, Jin. viewi of this showing, can any one doubt; the wisdom
of pushing the fiax and hemp industries in the Salem district
i-respecially when it is realized that the price of raw cotton is
now away above that of spinmng flax tow, and alntost equal
to that of the finest flax fiber, suitable for making .into fine
linens and laces? " ' r , ? .

meet in December next more sympathetic than the one that
is now in its last gasps, towards his proposal that we join
the Court of International Justice; and that bunch of for

Flying a boy kite is about the

' world like a live boy. . I
Te meiasurements for th's kite

your friends stand with his' arms
outstretched and his legs apart.
The .distance from the tips ' of
- ' his : fingers on one . hand to the
- tips of . the fingers on the other
-' gives the size of' . the - middle
- piece.. The height from the floor
- to i; the ; crown of his head sup
plies the length of the two cen-
! ter pieces, or spines. Next meas
ure, the distance from . the walst
' line' to the top of the head. This
" last gives the number of feet
" and inches to determine .whree
, the two main' pieces of the kite
hall be ; Joined together. They
' look like -an X when fastened.
- About this you ; build your . boy.

The size of the " strips v of bam

PATRIOTISM AND MONEY
- ... - -
In his first inaugural address
George WhKtoa, said; "When
I was first honored with a call into
the service of my country; then,
on the eve of an arduous struggle
for Its liberties, .the light in which
I contemplated my duty required
that I should renounce every pe
cuniary compensation. From this
resolution I have in " no instance
departed.: Being still under the
impressions which produced It I
muse decline any share In the per
sonal emoluments which may be
Included in a permanent provision
for the executive department.
Since the times, of George our pa
triots have grown more tractable
In the matter of accepting money
from the government. The nation
was hard up In the days of Wash
ington, but It did not owe one mil
lionth part of its present indebted
ness. Nevertheless our statesmen
are seen ''fighting at the. public
trough for all the spoil that may
be obtainable. George loved his
country .Modern patriots love it
so well that they are glad to be
supported by , it.

Mary sprang up to honor her sex,
and point -the way to better
things.
She was the daughter ot John
Cunningham, 'Who had long1 been
a resident of "the little city of
Marion, Ills. Her " father died
while in government service some
where "out west" In the seven
ties, I think. She had one bro
ther, "Hybe" Cunningham, who
wore a gray uniform in active ser
vice during the Civil war and at-,
tained the rank of colonel -
' Marlon has other claims to dis
tinction. It . was the boyhood
home ot Bob IngersolL From here
when a boy he used to drive the
old horse and buggy oyer muddy,
stumpy roads through primeval
forests for his reverend father to
some log school house appoint
ment away , back in the woods.
Maybe the -memory of some of
these dismal Crips lingered. I
wonder? Marion was the early
home of the Hon. William Joshu-
away Allen, the "Silver tongued"
orator, who gained fame as an ad
vocate before the bar immediate
ly following Lincoln.
In this little town Logan first
wrestled with Blackstone and
poverty, and finally madia the
richest strike. of his life when he
met and won Mary Cunningham.
They were married sometime in
the (fifties, m (I was only a small
boy and don't remember dates),
and from that day to the Gener
al's death in Washington, no finer
example of team work has ever
been noted. Logan's restless en
ergy and ambition, guided very
largely by "the gentle leading in-.
fluence of his no less ambitious
wife, soon won recognition. It
was a hard hard fight. From
childhood till he broke the "lead
ing strings," his environment and
training had been the exact an
tithesis of all now struggled; for.
His father iras a prominent sport
ing man, and John A. being small
of stature and very active was
early trained; to rjde. In. the
straightaway speed r ' contests "" of
the period, j 1 1 have often heard
one of my uncles tell of the time
his mount fell with him, and after
sliding some j thirty feet he was
carried off the field unconscious.
His education was almost If not
entirely neglected. , His dark com
plexion, and long raven locks,
earned, for him the title, "tne
Black Eagle. Later during the
war j he was dubbed "Black Jack
Logan." 'On breaking away h
had I to lay j entirely, new founda
tions before he could start build
Ingi" Against all .handicaps, his
indomitable ambition and energy
never flagged. As a Douglas
Democrat he became quite a pow
er In ; "Egypt." Had gained dis-
ndIon as aJawyer. Was elected
to congress in' :'1858. ', Served
through the Civil, war. Returned
home with the rank of major gen
eral. Back to congress In 1866.
Served In the senate, from '71 to
1886, the year-ot his death. -
For many years Logan, was the
political idol of Illinois, and es
pecially so of the southern part of
the state. f
: His success was attributed In
the largest degree to the ever
present influence- of his wife.
Those whd knew him best would
probably give a 50-50 split on all
success achieved.- She possessed
talent, tact and tenacity of pur
pose that I challenged admiration,
and generally won the objects
sought. She was probably a bet
ter politician than the general.
The purity, sweetness and gentle
feminine traits of her character
were ever Ian inspiration to those
who knew her best.- They - had
two children'. John' A"., Jr., lost
his life In the' Philippines during
the SpanishiAmef lean war. Dolly
married a young man by the name
of Tucker, and soon- after the
general,, her father, sent young
Tucker back to Murphysboro, iils.,
Logan's boyhood home, to devel
op some coal lands he owned near
by. Having made a failure of
this enterprise, he secured for
him an appointment' to s,ome po
sition in the army. In his 'ser
vice he seems to have advanced to
a prominent position. I think he
was stationed for a while at Van
couver barracks, and recently died
near Hood ! River. , Newspaper
readers know- tooNmuch that ' is
unpleasant, about this . unfortu
nate union. Let us forget it; as our
prayers go out to the lonely, wid
ow that survives. -
Mary Logan engaged in literary
work-soon after the death of the
general in ; 1886. She made her
home In Washington, and her in
fluence for the best things has
permeated the entire land. The
world Is better . because Mary
Cunningham Logan lived and
wrought. '
