THE LIMITED DEMAGOGY
_ i
Governor Cox/and Samuel Gompers
have recently made the statement that
textile plants were being closed in the
country for political purposes. But do
Cox and Gompers, as Democratic par
tisans and free traders, find no signifi
cance in connection with the possibil
ity of keeping American mills going,
in the fact that for the first six
months of this year England sent to
this country $53,000,000 worth of wool
ens and worsteds as against $30,000,
000, for the same period last year?
England’s importation of woolens and
worsteds into the United States will
this year aggregate $125,000,000 in val
ue, if continued at the present rate.
This is equivalent to the output of 60
factories, employing fifty thousand
hands. Do Free Traders Gompers and
Cox know any way whereby these
made-in-England goods can keep Am
erican factories going and American
wage earners employed? These goods
come through our customs house pay
ing little of the cost of the American
government upkeep, while the Ameri
can producer must pay in income tax
es, to meet the deficit created by the
es to meet the deficit created by the
government failing to impose taxes on
importations. Can Free Trade Gomp
ers and Cox point to any benefit that
has come to the American consumer
through reduced prices as the result
of these vast importations? Do Gomp
ers and Cox know how a mill can run
without orders, and do they know how
they are going to get orders for the
goods made outside of the United
States? Closing American mills with
hostile legislation, and then using the
misfortunes of the industries thus in
jured as a reason for attacks upon Am
erican manufacturers for not running
without orders is about the limit in
demagogy.

THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
Would you do for your friends what
f m
Sense and sentiment don’t always
mix.
The best way to keep from tempta
tion is not to be looking for it.
If religion is free it is peculiar that
some folks don’t get more of it.
Some folks over exercise themselves
trying to keep out of doing something.
A man can deceive his creator just
about as much as he can deceive him
self.
All kinds of mechanical alarm clock
devices for feeding chickens have been
invented, but biddy still retains the
prerogative of laying her egg accord
ing to her own schedule.
If money ever gets to be a drug on
the market, there will be a lot of dope
fiends.
The man who has confidence in his
competency never worries about a job
these days.
Most folks who kick about the kind
of sermons the pastor preaches, get all
they pay for.
you expect them to do for you.
Alimony is probably a contraction
of allhismoney.
When a man is dissatisfied with his
home it is more than likely that half
the fault is his.
The person who doesn’t speak ex
cept only when occasion demands it
usually has something in store.
When your wife is your banker, a j
bill of particulars must be attached to ;
every check drawn against the ac-1
count.
There is considerable agitation to
wards the elision of the word “obey”
from the marriage service. We fail to
see that its presence there has caused
any harm, worked any hardship or
caused any qualms of conscience upon
the part of the parties pronouncing it
in. the ceremony referred to. Its re
moval, however, will cause no great
seismic disturbance in the marital con
ditions of this great land of the free
and home of the brave.

Through your efforts the Bureau of
I
Fisheries will hold a hearing at Cordova
to determine what steps, if any, are neces
sary to protect the red salmon of the Cop
per river from extinction.
It is up to you to see that any informa
i
tion showing the cause of the rapidly de
creasing salmon run or the depletion of
the spawning ground is brought before the
committee on the fifth of October.
i
Alaska was once the great breeding
ground of the sea otter.
How many of them are left?
Many canneries of Southeastern Alas
ka are falling into decay for lack of fish.
Do you want Cordova to be in a like
situation? Do you want your fishing fleet
and nets to rot in disuse?
V
This is your cause. A few sensible reg
ulations now will save a lot of sorrow in
future.

BREAKING AWAY FROM HABIT
Habit, the stern taskmaster, makes women old before their
time. Because of habit, we all do work that could be done as well
and as cheaply by others.
Many woman have their washing done at home because of
habit—tlje old tradition that it can be done better and more cheaply
than in a modern laundry.
But facts are not in accord with this old belief. The scientific
manner in. which clothes are now washed and sterilized in a mod
ern laundry such as ours, not only produces superior work, but
actually saves you money when time, material and fuel are con
sidered.
Every week, more women are deciding that “Sending it to
Jones” is the efficient way-breaking away from the old habit
of home washing, with its attendant backaches, worry and slush,
and now devoting this time to reading, walking, shopping or sew- <
ing.
