TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, JANUARY 13, 1916. Uncle Silas Says. “But I can’t help it now. You know how forgetful 1 am.” He did not an swer,but sighed resinedly. "I’ve got all my cards addressed,” said mother, tactfully, to ch^ige the subject. Ami her daughter laughed. "Mine, too,” she said. "And I’m going to send them in time this year. Last year I forgot all about them to New Year’s Day, but I mailed them just the same, as long as they were ready.” i he train was slowing down for a -.top and she began to gather up thr packages, that is to say, she began loading them on “dear,” This suggest ed a new thought and she turned to mother. “I don’t know what we had sent home, do you, mother? But then ■,ve have receipts for everything, so we can tell that way.” “I guess so,” said mother, “but I dropped some thing in the station and I just would not pick it up. I w’as too tired. May be it was some of our receipts.” They got off the train at a suburban sta- 'ion and probably in a day or two will be down town again, exchanging things or complaining of something “that I know I bought here and it never was delivered. I can’t find my receipt, and you can’t find any record of the purchase. I won’t stand for that.” Then it is up to the merchant to make good or lose a profitable customer. However, Gertrude, as you didn't shop that way and you got al] you paid for, though in so doing you were unfashionable,” for which I am truly trankful. ------ o------ Cousin Tom, I see by the papers that Henry Lord anil his crowd oi peace mollycoddles got a frosty re ception in Norway, and they are lay ing all the blame on a woman, Mme. benwimmer, a Hungarian,who is said to have been instrumental in persuad ing Hen. to undertake to slop the fight. Now, it seems to me that 11 tney had to have a scapegoat they might have found a man among then number to lay the blame instead ol putting it on a woman, a very dis- courteous thing to" do, to say the least. The fact those crackbraineu theorists couldn’t agree among them selves,scrapped all the way on their voyage, each seeking to lead the whole bunch. Finally they have reached land and been snubbed; soon they will go somewhere else where they will be snubbed again, and, after telling it to the Danes, they will try Holland, be interned and that will end the farce for which doubtless they will be profoundly thankful. But, my, what a fall they have had in their efforts to climb to the v ry pin- aclc of the tower of fame! They re mind me of the story of the Irish man wlio fell down a coal shaft, It was a new shaft about 75 feet deep, and when Bat tumbled in he did not go the whole distance immediately.

The "full dinner pail” is spoken of ir. reverential instead of sneering tones these days. ----- o------ They call a high flown political propaganda that swoops down on American industry and eats its heart out free trade, and the biwinged bird that swoops down on things after death a buzzard. Every farm product placed on the free list by the Democratic adminis tration is a slap on the vital interests of the American farmer. And the farmer will strike back at the next election. An elaborate book has just been published entitled, “Shall we abandon the Philippines?” What now interests the American industrial employe most is shall we abandon the United States to further free trade demoli tion ? Of course free trade "prosperity ,___ ,___ , ” that pays pie-chasing partisans fat salaries who never had any business except politics, may suit some free trade favorites, but it doesn't suit the American industrial classes—and thej expect to express their disapproval in November, 1916. Industry is what makes a nation possible, Without business enterprise people could not remain long in a country; hence there would be no social order and no nation. Therefore, in expurgating enemies to the nation don’t forget the arch-enemy to the in dustrial life that makes the nation possible. And that's free trade. ------ o------ All this talk about restoring the du ty on sugar, and thus adding from titty to sixty millions to the revenues, goes on, we observe, without a word of commendation from the White House. Free sugar was a fetich with A ilson when tne Underwood larifi bill was under consideration, and he drove it through a reluctant Congress in the face of party rebellion in the sugar producing states of the South. An imposing memorial to William McKinley has just been started at Niles, his birthplace. Niles is a manu facturing town whose growth and prosperity is in a great measure due to the boost of a protective tariff. The town’s most distinguished son gained the name of the “Father of Protection.” A score of thousands of other towns share with McKinley’s birthplace and benefit of his life for protection. ------o------ Wherein does Democratic free trade benefit the American farmer, whose products must, as natural consequen ce, come into direct competition with the products of free trade countries. You Democratic farmers who are vot ing the Democratic ticket simply be cause your father and grandfather be fore you voted the Democratic ticket, should take the time to do a little in vestigating on your own account, and find out just where you are "at.” To get money for any purpose for the actual running expenses of the Government, to say nothing of mon ey for an enlarged army and navy program, means either a bond issue or a series of Government notes, or a revision of the tariff along Republican lines. Either of these alternatives »pell Democratic ruin. Cleveland’s bond issue contributed more to dis credit the second administration with he large mass of the voters than any thing else. To attempt a revision of the tariff on Republican lines would be an admission of the complete fail ure of the fundamental doctrine on which the Democratic party has plan ted itself from time out of mind. The only alternative, therefore, is to "re nig” on the national defense program. This the administration and the Dem ocracy are preparing for. Can there be any doubt that if mil lions of men had not been called to arms in Europe the United States would have been fairly flooded with foreigftrmade goods? Some idea of the proportions if the inundation may be gained from the fact that the nine months ending with September, 1914, witnessed an increase of over $82,000,- 000 in our imports. Incidently, the same period witnessed the utterly dis heartening decrease of $265,883,712 in our exports. It is literally true that the country's whole industrial and business was saved by the frightful calamaty of war which was visited upon Europe. But the war will end and what then? Are Mr. Wilson and his party pre pared to be accountable to the coun try for what follows? If the American producer and the foreign producer should both be as- sured that free trade would be the permanent policy of the United States one of two things would happen— either the American workman would come very close to the foreign stand ard of wage and living, or he would cease to praduce articles which can be produced by foreigners. Fortunate ly, both Americans and foreigners know that free trade is only a temp orary policy and that within a very short time the American people will resume command of their own mar kets, Hence, the American producer does not give up his industries nor does the foreigner make the large in vestments that would be necessary to supply our market fully. We mere’y curtail our expenses, cut out luxuries live economically, maintain bread lines and take advantage of the par tial relief afforded by foreign war. There is a disposition in some quar ’ers to make light of the matter and to take the view that the old-world nations will be so broken by the war »hat they will have no recuneratin» power, avd hence that it will be a long time before they are in a posi- ■ion to develop trade with other A Well Known Woman Speaks. lands. This is a superficial and mis leading view, refuted by all the teach In Every Town in Oregon Neighbors ings of experience. There will be on Say the Same. ly one hope for the war-worn people of the old world. They must depend upon industrial activity to recoup Portland, Oregon. — ” I have used themselves.

PIANO aoQooaeoi&aaoQooooGoooooa “Doing our best to be law-abiding citizens, and find it darned hard work.” said J. C. Hayter of Dallas, peeking over the top of a pile of mag azines which all but hid him from view. It is hardly necessary to add that Mr. Hater, like hundreds of other Oregon newsdealers, was busily searching the popular magazines for liquor advertisements and laying aside such periodicals as are under the ban. The prohibition law does not at tempt to prohibit the importation of magazines containing liquor ads, but does make it a criminal offense to dis play or circulate such publications. The newsdealers are working early and late in their effort to comply with the law, but are finding a gigan tic task. “I ran a newspaper twenty years and never allowed a booze ad in it,” said Mr. Hayter. “1 could easily keep them out of one newspaper, but I tell you when it comes to keeping them out of more than 150 different maga zines a month, I squawk. The task is ridiculous and impossible, no matter how hard one may try to i erform it. We ar’P doing our best to comply with the new law, and we trust the people’s sense of fairness to bear with our un intentional oversights until such time the magazine publishers may be in duced to issue special Oregon editions from which liquor ads have been eliminated.”—ltemizer.
