FACING BOTH
1 "The Fordney-McCumber tariff act is tbe; most unjust, un-
ibeientifiu and dishonest tariff tax measure eVer enactedj in our
r history.," It is class legislation, which defrauds all the people
for the benefit of a few; it heavily increases the cost of living,
4 penalizes agriculture, corrupts the government, fosters pater
: nalism, and, in the long run, does not benefit the very interests
for which it was enacted. i ;
! "We denounce the Republican tariff laws, which' are writ
' ten in great part in aid of monopolies and thus prevent that
j.reasonablerexcharige of commodities which would enable foreign
I countries to buy our surplus agricultural and manufactured
I products, with resultant benefits to the toilers and j producers
1 of Amerioa. . -.'' '.: I j j - .j
"Trade interchange, on the basis of reciprocal advantages
, to the countries participating, is a time honored doctrine of
i Democratic faith. WE DECLARE OUR PARTY'S POSITION
i TO BE IN FAVOR OF TAX ON COMMODITIES ENTERING
1 THE CUSTOM HOUSES THAT WILL PROMOTE EFFEC
TIVE COMPETITION, PROTECT AGAINST MONOPOLY
AND AT THE SAME TIME PRODUCE A FAIR REVENUE
I TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT." .
!. The above is the tariff plank of the Democratic party. It
is all buncombe , : m -1 "" ; j
I Pure and simple buncombe, ; ; :
Excepting the words put in capitals. The, words in capitals
describe our present tariff law. It is far from, perfect, but it
1 does promote effective competition ; it does protect - against
- monopoly, and it does produce a fair revenue. It allows the
largest trade both in imports and exports in the history of the
-countrv. and it trives the largest revenue "to suoDort the irov-
I ernment ever produced by tariff rates,
ar F " 43 ri
. There were some keynote speeches and declarations at the
New York convention that throw further light on the confusion
jot the Democratic leaders concerning the tariff. For instance,
Governor AL-Smith of New York delivered 'himself.1 -lie- said
in one paragraph: "The whole tariff looks like a surrender
to group government." In another .paragraph he said:; "It
j is not true that such a policy would be in the interest of a class
i any more than constructive legislation in behalf of indhstrial
workers is in the interest of
present tarirr law iavors groups, and it does not favor groups.
It is in the interest of the few, and it is in the interest of the
i whole people "You pays your money and you takes your
i choice." j--' ;:- ;:. ;'.)';,.. '-.
! ' Senator "Pat' Harrison of Mississippi, temporary ehairman
of the : convention, had a lot to say on tariff in his keynote
I . sneeeh - -- -1 : '
; All buncombe, and full of lies, showing his absolute ignor
ance of, his subject; but full of bombastic eloquence. Here is
aparagraph: "The German citizen can set his hand to work
and from one end of the country to the other every furnace may
be lighted, every factory wheel may whirl, every field be tilled.
and every agency of commerce and industry work overtime,
yet they cannot continue unless some market be found for their
I wares. . There can be no market if the tariff gates are closed
4 against her by other countries as are our owii." r
t And so on. Scalding tears as large as hens eggs for the
poor Germans. Rut who sheds tears for the workers in the
I factories of this country I who are out of employment now on
. f account of German fompetitioii, even in the face of the present
I tariff rates the employees in the American toy and straw hat
factories, for instance? And some of the woolen mills of New
i England f And some of the cotton mills throughout the country?
t ' The tears are the tears of the wives and children of these
s workers ; of the managers of our mills and their backers. "Pat"
Harrison's tears are' not for these. They arei for the poor Ger-
$ man industrial oveifIords ; ! J
Has "Pat" Harrison any tears for the cherry growers of
I Oregon? He has not. Put he could likely shed sonic salty drops
j for the French and Italian and Spanish importers of jcherries
' ia barrels, Who are beating down our cherry prices with the
cheap and runty product of those countries, pacing onlv 2 cents
a puunu uuiy,-ana aiiempung to get them in stemmed.
He COllldiweep av few brillV drops for th fluban snn-nr
junta and the American sugar gamblers attempting to choke to
death the cane sugar industry of his own state; for the British
woolen manufacturers swearing to gross' undervaluations and
f lying classifications, and thus throwing a large number of our
r American working people out of jobs; for the Manehiirian cut
f throats sending us. their walnuts; for the Chinese profiteers
, sending us their peanuts; for the slant-eyed and cunning
dealers of that country sendiiig us their eggs, produced in
, reeking filth. . . u (:'... .
' .The whole Democratic tariff attitude is insincere; drivel;
made to catch them going and coining. Brjan savs he wrote
the tariff plank of the New York convention. One can believe
it. It is made for vote getting. It faces both ways. ;
' - What the I United States needs is not a lowering of the
tariff rates. The present law is too much free-trade. What we
need is a study of conditions, and a lowering of the rates where
this may be done without injury to our working people and our
farmers and manufacturersand a raising of them in cases
where they ought to be raised; like the case of cherries coming
into unfair competition withr the products of our own! growers.
KKrKALIXG THE IXCO.ME TAX
l The Oregon : Statesman has re
ceived a circular letter signed by
C. C. Chapman, asking the repeal
of the state income tax. As a
cracker at the) end of it there la
an appeal for tunds That's a
joke. The men back .'of the In
come tax repeal can finance it an
hundred times. However, The
Oregon ' Statesman hag no hesi
tancy in saying that it declines to
coatribute either -directly -or -in

WAYS ON TARIFF
i
. , A A f
a class. In) other words, the
directly to this cause. The law
was emasculated n the legisla
ture and ia not much of an income
tax as it is, but the people had to
accept it as1 tho best to be got at
that time. There is no indication
that the- law; has proved a disau
pointment. There are1 many In
dications that the law has proved
a success. In fait the farmers of
Oregon pay about' three' fourths
of a million less taxes this year
than last, owing to better diatri-
bution.--:The-dk wbW-tepay tni
taxes are assessed to , pay them.
That's tbe fairest system ever de
vised. If after the law Is thor
oughly tested, it does not work,
It should be repealed but it has
not had a fair chance yet and the
people certainly will rally to its
defense. : x ' it i
Yye like men' who can accept
results. Oregon is held back by
men who complain every time
thy have to pay a dollar In ax
and defame the state. It is time
for our people to sell Oregon to
Oregon people. It is time for our
mohied men to stand the price.
Theiy make their money here and
wej ought to have .their support

IVVTXKKSOX .'AND ; THE CAM'
l'AKJX
Tho selection of Senator I Ike
Patterson as chairman of the re
publican state central committee
wa simply the deliberate judg
ment of the party recorded, by the
members of the committee. rp
other name was suggested, no
other man was wanted, i I i
ilr. Patterson is a seasoned
campaigner, a man who not only
knows the state but has the con?
ftdcnce of the people.
iThe republican campaign this
year will be a vigorous one. There
will be no side-stepping, no effort
made to detract from the main
issue. The main issue is to carry
Oregon for Coolidge and Dawes.
Thie committee takes the view that
the fight is between LaFollette
and the republicans. That is
doubtless true, but it does not
sound fair for the republicans of
Oregon to have to make a cam,
paign against a republican United
States senator. It Senator La
Follette has left the republican
party he should resign his seat
In the senate.
The reDublican of Oregon are
united and will make a solid cam
paign. Of course there will be
sotne defection, the radicals will
support LaFollette but the; pro
gress! ves Will be satisfied with the
republican ticket. , ;
The Oregon Statesman j con
gratulates the republican party
UDon its standing in this cam
paign and "upon the selection of
Mr. Patterson as the party leader.

WILLIAM AXUERSOX 1ST. AL
We ran across a most Interest
ing item the other day which told
that William Anderson who lived
near Marshfield visited the town
fojr the first time in twenty-four
years, we are not . interestea in
the shock he received in seeing
such a splendid city as Marsh?
field. We care nothing i for the
mental reaction.
; We want to call attention., how
ever, to the case of William An
derson. . He went out into the
wilderness and for twenty-four
years cleared away the trees and
made a farm. During that time
he has . become rich. lie has
worked and attended strictly to
hiisinesH. There are other Wil
liam Andersons in tho country,
men who have attended to busi
ness.' men who remained at home
and made a success.
i Sadly enouRh there are ? more
men who have galavanted around
the country, who have seen the
world as they call it and attended
to- everything but their own busi
ness. They have not made a sue-
... . -
cess. Possibly, tney nave uu
more fun than Mr. Anderson has
had but we have an idea there is
5 good deal of solid comfort in
staying at homo and making proj
gress in the things you have to do.
-The fact Is that Oregon; needs
mbre William Andersons, J needs
more men to clear forests and
make farms, needs more men tp
save and build and dig fortunes
ut of the land. Some Willian
Andersons have done it. OtherB
can. We need more of the kind-
GOOD WORK
The Oregon Statesman desires
to express Its appreciation of the
play grounds which were dedicat
ed last night. It is a great thing
to teach children to play. j Ji
All children play naturally but
the children who are taught to
play are more efficient in every
Way than those who never learn.
Anybody can make a noise on a
piano but they have to bo taught
to play a tune. ' Any child can
play but a child has to bo taught
(cording to modern standards
and methods to get the best re-
ults. i ' - t : H i
It Is only recently that we have
ippreciated f the possibilities 'of
rained playing. Now all over the
country supervisors have been put
charge and the children arc
being taught to play as a develop-
cnt of their character. We rea-
ll that direct : play is character
building and tho children who;
hare this advantage will build
baracter faster than ! those who.
have not. We wish all oar cbil-j
dren had such an advantage andj
some day they will have. - ' ;j

THK RESOLUTIONS
The republican state centra
committee shows Us sanity adr ;
itn devotion tn the oartv by adopt
ing a " eel - of- resolutions - which t
meet the approval of every loyal
party man. The party wreckers
had announced that they were go
ing to force a resolution through
to abrogate the primary and recur
to the! old disgraced convention
system but wise counsel prevailed
and the resolution was not even
offered. :; ; . .
: The republican party goes Into
the campaign united and the men
who Would split it have been
squelched. It is all right for
them to pop up in two years, all
right to cull a: convention in two
years, but it will be Just as all
right to defeat every , man nomi
nated at such a convention -at the
primaries. . !
DAVIS AND HIS CLIENTS
The jOregon Statesman has no
criticisjn to make of i John W,
Davis because he was a Standard
Oil lawyer or any other kind of
corporation lawyer. The man! is
big enough to be loyal to his em
ploymnt and it is In Davis' favor
that he refused to play dema
gogue by getting out of his busi
ness connections the minute he
was mentioned for: president, j ;
The country respects loyalty
It will; respect Davis position and
we have an idea that there! is
going to be mighty little criticism
because of his corporation connec
tions. The contest against Davis
will be a contest against the de
mocratlc party and because he is
training with the democrats, he
is not J in line with the purposes
and Ideals of the middle-west and
western people. i j !
Speaking of Davis j chance j of
election, it is a good deal like the
man jwho -wrote a 4 book on.
"Snakes In Ireland, the first
sentence of which- was, "There are
no snakes In Ireland.'? i
Squirrels and birds do not get
along well together. We need the
birds but we do not need the

CHAPTER 212
THEj ANSWER MADGE READ
IN ALLEN DRAKE'E EYES. :
I began my descent of the stairs
after (the ring which announced
Allen iDrake's arrival, with but one
thought in my mind and that vain
and unworthy. .
Would I read in his eyes the as
surance that my morbid reaction
ko Dicky's absence and careless
ness had made me crave- the as
surance that my appearance was
unchanged? j
' I nad reached only the upicr
landing and had caught but a
gimpse of Mr. Drake's tall figure
bending in courtly fashion over
Lillian's hand, when the sight of
another figure once as erect and
shapely as that of Allen Drake,
now slightly bent, and bearing the
unmistakable marks of age and
care upon the still handsome face
sent every emotion but remorse
ful tenderness from me i and hur-ried-iiie
down the remaining stairs
and into my father's' arms. -.'
To! think that even for the few
seconds which had witnessed my
introspective study of myself In
the! mirror I had forgotten that
my! father was with Allen Drake
at th door! I scored myself un
mercifully for ray folly, and with
a fierce little desire for atonement
as i well as a self-conscious re-
luctahce to look at our brilliant
guest I remained in my fathers
arms giving him the rapturous
welcome he loved and deserved,
until he himself released me and
said with perfunctory reproach:
although I knew he was secretly
most gratified at my absorption
in him: . . t
"My dear,. do( you not see Mr.
Drake?" J .'.
"I do not see anyone when
you've just come home after so
long,!" I returned emphatically.
"But! I'm very glad to welcome
you, !Mr. Drake, to our home, nev
ertheless." ' I turned, held out my hand and
compelled my eyes to meet the
well-remembered eyes of the man
whose hand, slender, shapely as a
woman's, yet with a tense- grip
that told of 'steel-like muscles, had
enveloped mine. -
Lillian Helps Madge.
"You cannot know how glad I
am to be welcomed," he said im
prc88ively gazing down at me with
the " brilliant eyes so oddly shad
owed by the long womanish lashes
which distinguished him.
I could not detect any waver
ing of ills eyes from their direct'
look! into mine, and yet I had the
eerie little feeling that he had
swept every detail of my appear
ance; with those indolent eyes, and
that, somewhere back of them his
fastidious brain was sitting in ap
praisal upon me. ;
Then, with a swift, graceful
movement,; he had stooped and
had j recovered the scattered blos
soms Of my "corsage 'bouquet
M!
which . my ' father's f embrace had
'loosened... I - ; .''.:!!i,
'"Oh, Daughter ! Your flowers! "
my father cried remorsefully. "Are
they crushed?" f
"No, indeed," I returned, al
though the 1 nasturtium blossoms
wejre somewhat dilapidated.1 But
I would not have hurt my father's
feelings fori a hundred bouquets,
and: t took them from Allen
Drake's hands, arranged them has
tily and fastened them to my gown
again with fingers tremulous With
embarrassment.. l
; For I was conscious, painfully
soj that -Allen Drake's eyes, half
closed, inscrutable ' beneath their
womanish lashes, were . watching
every slightest movement that my
fingers made. if . :
iy father's attention bad "been
distracted by my mother-in-law,
who had advanced to greet him,
and by Marion, who was .clinging
rapturously to his arm. r Lillian,
making one of their, group. Was
standing -so that she effectually
shielded me from my mother-in-law's
critical eyes, had that cap
tious lady chanced to look at me,
so Allen Drake and I were left; for
the second; in comparative isola
tion,' and . he bent toward me islg
nificantly . as I finished arranging
the flowers. I r
1 ; . r - i
"Lucky Blossoms!" . t
i"Lycky blossoms!" he said soft
ly! "But cannot your eyes leave
them soon? I realty would like to
have you look at me again." 1
His low, rich voice, with its 'sus
picion of an indolent drawl, had
an 'unexpected effect upon me. I
had been self-conscious, nervous,
almost tremulous at the prospect
ofj again .being thrown Into asso
ciation with this fascinating man.
But his banal compliment was like
a tingling dash of ice water in my
face.- :; ' i j 4- -1 i
He had not "changed. He was
the old Allen Drake, so certain
that every woman ' he met was so
anxious for his attention that; he
did not trouble himself even to
originate a new bit of flattery.; I
was as cerain that he had said ex
actly the same thing to a dozen
different women as Iowa's that his
utterance of thp platitude affected
me in no way ibiit an inclination
to laughter. j t
1 ji tilted my head .a trifle and
looked at him as he had requested
with laughter-filled eyes. . But I
had to grip-my determination hard
to keep just. that laughing, indif
ferent pose. .FOr in the ejres look
ing at irie, indolent no longer, I
saw the answer to the question I
had asked : of myself in the mir
ror. ;;; ; ; - ' . - ' -
! (To be continued) j ;?
I Frankly, Mr. Sax, you don't
know what a lot of trouble-you
did start by your invention. j
