“AM I AMMI, OR AM I NOT AMMI?”
The story is told of a man named
Ammi, who attempted to cross a
stream during a fresh'et where a i
bridge was supposed to be. The
water had carried the bridge away
and the man and his team were also
swept away. He finally came to him
self under a wagon box and, being
confused, asked himself this question:
“Am I Ammi, or am I not Ammi? If
I am Ammi, I have lost a good team
of horses, but if I am not Ami, I
have found a wagon box.”
Governor Cox sees to be in some
what the same predicament. He
seems to be groping about so as to
determine “where he is at.” Apparent
ly he is asking himself this question:
“Am I for the League of Nations, or
am I against it, I will lose the Wil
son influence and no one knows how
many votes.” That is a very embaras
sing position for a candidate to be
in.
Immediately after his conference
with President Wilson his party pap
ers announced that he was in “full
accord” with President Wilson on the
League of Nations. Now it is an
nounced that the candidate fears
that the impression will grow' that
he is backing the president on the
league issue and is minded to cut
loose from Mr. Wilson’s apron
strings.
But wThat will Candidate Cox do
without the League of Nations issue?
His only hope of winning is on that
issue, for the people have made up
their minds long since on the other
national issues. The great body of
the voters* are against free trade
which is allowing the importation of
vast quantities of foreign goods w'hich
displace domestic products and drive
oui workers to idleness. The only
one who reaps the benefit is the im
porter w'ho “toils not, neither does
he spin.” yet who is arrayed like
“Solomon in all his glory.” The peo
ple have made up their minds that
vast importations are good for the im
porter, and for no one else in this
country. They have made up their
minds that these vast importations
are robbing them of the means of
earning a livelihood, since, because
of this huge influx of foreign goods,
mills are obliged to close dowm, hav
ing no orders to fill. The orders are
going to the importers who are rob
bing the people of their birthright,
the right to work for a living at de
cent American w'ages. '
The free trade candidate for the
presidency is in an awkward position.
He is “between the devil and the deep
blue sea.” He must “fish or cut
bait,” but he does not know which
to do. Without the League of Na
tions as an tissue, ,the only important
issue betwmen the two dom in-ant part
ies is the tariff. The Republican i
candidates for the presidency and the :
vice presidency have affirmed their
belief in the necessity of tariff pro
tection for the industries cf the coun
try. On the contrary, the Democrat
ic party has reaffirmed its adherence
to the theory of tariff for revenue
only. The people have had enough
of a “revenue tariff” which does not
produce revenue".
lit is about time for Candidate Cox
to quit trying to “carry water on
both shoulders.” Or perhaps he is
willing to go to the polls on the rec
ord of his patry in reducing the high
cost of living and in conducting an
economical administartion. “It is to
laugh.”
SENATOR HARDING FOR PROTEC
TION.
Mr. Harding believes in the pro
tective tariff policy, and thinks that
the nation will be calling for its “sav
ing Americanism again.” There is no
doubt of it whatever. Before the next
administration has reached its mid
point the absolute necessity for pro
tection against a flood of incoming
foreign goods, dumped on our market
will be so great that even a Dem
ocratic administration, if in control,
would be compelled to erect a tariff
barrier of some kind. The billions
that Europe owes us must be paid
for in goods and there is no economic
problem that is going to require more
delicate and skilled handling than
that of protecting American industry'
while at the same time permitting the
payment of the foreign debt. The
signs of the oncoming struggle are
everywhere about, and men who look
ahead are frankly solicitous of the
outcome.—Baltimore, Md., Manufac
turer’s Record.
FREE TRADER’S FAIRY TALES
Some years ago an appealing argu
ment for free trade was advanced by
the Democrats of this section when
they tried to convince the people that
if Nova Scotia coal were relieved of
the tariff it could be sold in Boston
at $3.50 a ton.
Perhaps it could, but would it?
After the duty w’as taken off it
would simply mean colossal profits
for the coal barons. Beyond a doubt
the Nova Scotia and Pennsylvania
coal magnates would get together and
the consumer would pay about as
much as ever.
The same argument was advanced
in the case of potatoes, but the
Brockton workingman would not be
buying his potatoes from the Canad
ian. He would be going to the same
old market and paying the same old
price, regardless of what the whole
saler paid for a cargo of potatoes.
Free trade would make . nothing
cheaper except labor, and under an
active free trade administration that
would be so cheap you could not give
it away.—Brockton, Mass. Search
light.
WASTED WAR EFFORTS
,As a side line in the great war ef
fort of the United States to be dis
posed of with her salvage, the gov
ernment is offering to the highest bid
der a city over seven square miles,
containing houses and equipment for
20,000 people, and units of a gigantic
industrial plant, one of the largest in
the world.
rl’ i n -i n 4-Vi n »•i J „ ‘ i_
rnKJ ’ V-/X aixxx'-'ax i iiiaut v ii j
of “Old Hickory,” fifteen miles from
Nashville, Tenn., built to manufac
facture powder for the army and
navy. At the time this nation was
summoned so suddenly to war the
government found difficulty in gath
ering its forces over night, according
to the Bryan schedule, and was
forced to wait some months for its
smokeless powder and other ammuni
tion until it completed the building
of industrial cities. It was a fine ob
ject lesson in the needs of war pra
paredness and the futility of relying
upon emergent and volunteer effort
after the war was declared.
Before we could produce any suf
ficient quantity of smoKeless powder
the government proceeded to procure
the townsite of 4,700 acres and cover
1,800 acres exclusively with manufac
turing plants. On 560 acres adjacent
to the work 3,867 homes for work
men were bulit; waterworks, electric
light and power plants were installed,
and ninety-four miles of railway
plant, concrete roads, refrigerating
plants, and the largest steam power
plant in the world. We went to war
in April, 1917, and eighteen months
afterward, after more than two mil
lion American soldiers had been
transported to France, and by their
effort contributed to victory, the big
smokeless powder plant of “Old
Hickory,” with its 20,000 people, was
just beginning to function usefully.
What Germany felt in 1917 and
mainly in 1918 was only the edge of
the American effort. We raised an
army of four million men, equipped
them and sent half of them over to
France largely through availing our
selves of the courtesies of our allies.
Without their help we should have
been helpless for want of guns, am
munition and heavy and field ord
lance, aircraft and the great mechan
cal backing that •war requires.
“Nitro,” another government city,
cost $72,000,000, arid sold after the
war for less than $10,000,000. Some
such shrinkage will be evident in the
“Old Hickory” venture. We fought
and helped to win the wTar, through
getting ready for it at home, and we
were hardly ready for it when the
war ended. Hundreds of millions of
dollars wrere expended without re
ceiving any benefits. It is a policy
that plainly does not pay, yet we have
failed to improve the system and we
are back in the throes of a noisy
peace, disarming ourselves and get
ting rapidly in shape to be complete
ly helpless when the next war ar
rives. Perhaps when that times comes
we shall have no handy allies to bor
row guns and powder from.—^Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.
Pretty soon we shall begin to
think ol' Boston as the real home of
high finance.
Democrats seem to be scarce in all
the straw’ votes. They must be hold
ing an annual meeting somewhere.
The Wilson-Cox covenant may be
the “hope of the world,” but Hard
ing and Coolidge are the “hope of
America.”—Philadelphia Star.
Havana has from five hundred to
five thousand American souses on its
hands every Saturday night, and a
lot of the natives are beginning to
realize what it is to remember the
Maine.
The Spanish war veterans have
just celebrated in Manila the anni
versary of the capture of the Phil
ippines by the United States, and
those Filipinos who are not agita
tors and politicians probably joined
with the spirit in the celebration.
It is omportant to recall that when
Gen. Villa began drinking Scotch
whiskey he w’ent out and ended the
wrar by surrendering. He starts his
revolutions on pulque and ends them
on Scotch. This diagnosis should
make it easy for peace emissaries
in future Mexican revolutions.
SEA-LION KING
GETS BOUNTY
FROM SCALPS
ASTORIA, Aug. 30 (by Associated
Press).—William M. Hunter, known
here as the “king” of sea-lion hun
ters, recently collected $880 bounty
from the state for 352 sea-lion scalps,
paid at the rate of $2.50 each. Bounty
is paid on the sealion because they
are considered the Pacific Coast sal
mon’s worst enemy. They gather at
the mouth of the Columbia river here
to prey on fish bound upstream.
Sea-lion hunting is dangerous, Hun
ter says, and he tells of narrow es
caps from angry bulls. Seals, he as
serts, are not as awkward as they
appear and can travel at a fast rate
of speed. Recently one chased him
over the rocks but was killed by Hun
ter’s companion before it reached
him.
Hunter works from a small launch
while at sea. Much of his hunting is
done on rocky beaches where seals
congregate. He learned his trade, as
he terms it, as a mountaineer hunt
ing bear and deer in the Cascade
mountains.
In addition to the government
bounty Tunter is paid by salmon can
nerymen for destroying seals. Esti
mated on the 1919 pack the rate of
the cannery bounty would be about
$2,000 for every 1,000 sea-lions killed.
Sea-lions destroy the fish by snap
ing off their heads, it is said. Dur
ing the salmon running seasons in
the spring, tons of the fish are vic
tims of sea-lion herds.
Skins of the sea-lions are used ex
tensively in glove manufacturing. Oil
and fats also are products.
