HI
A Tariff Triumph.
On ' Friday night President
Wilson affixed his signature to
the new tariff bill and the same
is now'law, awaiting only de
partmental preparation of in
structions to custom's officers
and importers.
The bill is said to make import
duties; ;on'an average,lower than
they have been since 1846, and
it is conceded that the govern
ment revenues from imports will
he materially lessened, but this,
as is the intention of the bill, is
to reduce the cost of the import
ed article to the consumer by re
ducing* the tax upon its entry in
to the eOUntry. This anticipated
deficiency, created in the interest
of the’gredt body of the people,
is expected to be made up or re
couped by the levying of a grad
uated income tax, starting with
incomes' of $3,000, in the case of
bachelors, and with $4,000 in
the. case* of men with families.
Thus will the burden of support
ing the government be in large
part lifted from the backs of
those SPW all and moderate
means and a larger proportion
than heretofore will be borne by
those in easy or affluent cii*cum
stances.
This is the fulfillment of the
democratic pledges. The presi
dent and the congress elected on
this pledge have been earnest
and sincei*e and industrious in
its fulfillment, working steadily
in special session all during the
long, hot summer, at the expense
(r - t>f personal comfort and private
interests. For this accomplish
ment they deserve the thanks of
the people for faithful service
performed.
By eliminating so much of the
protection heretofore enjoyed by 1
American manufacturers, it is.<
not the democratic aim to cripple 1
them but to put them on a com- ;
petitive basis with foreign manu- Is
facturers to the end that the : 1
American consumer may share ji
in the benefit heretofore exclu- ]
sively apportioned to the pro-1:
tected manufacturer. It is the 1
democratic effort to do good to <
the greatest number as opposed j
to the long policy of benefiting i
a few at the expense of the j
many.—Fort Smith Times-Re- <

Does One Lose Friends? 1
Never worry about a lost friend 1
—that is, one who ceases to be j
friendly. There is no such <
thing. You never lose a friend, i
you only find out that he is not j j
your friend. If he is a friend to j
your youth he will flee on the ]
coming of age and wrinkles. If i
he is a friend to your success ;
he will flee at the approach of
failure. If he is a friend to your
full purse the flattening of that
will show his heels. If he is ai
friend to any influence you may |
have, you will lose him when
you need him most. But he
never was your fiend. His go
ing is only an opportunity for
you to rectify your judgment of
him- The friends you have can
never be many—some three or
six strong, loyal men or women
—and the rest are congenial ac
quaintances, that is all. Friends |
are the limbs of the soul—we
walk by the reason of them,
breathe by aid of them, work in
the great strength of them,
j And we don’t often think of
them as friends, they are as
hands and feet and heart and
brains—we know we have them,
and that is enough for life.—Ex.

A son of the present J. P. Mor
gan is setting a good .democratic
example by forsaking luxurious
apartments in the “millionaires”
I clubhouse” at Harvard, dismiss
! ing his valet and taking up
I quarters in one of the most an
cient dormitories in the college,
up three flights of stairs and no
elevator. He shows by this that
there is still virility in the
“house of Morgan” and had the
sons of other enormously rich |
men the sense to do as young I
Morgan has done they would I
gain in both public and self-re
spect and some at least of the
antagonism against great
wealth might be allayed. —

Women Baseball Players.
As the twentieth century
grows older we find that physi
cal culture has taken a great ad
vance, especially among the fair
sex. We note in these modern
times that some of our best ath
i 5 - mm
etes are women. The up-to- ^
late girl can ride a bicycle, play t
ennis, row a boat, play golf, |
md, in fact, there is no outdoor E
iport in these advancing times |
hat the fair maidens of this |
glorious universe cannot accom- |
)lish. A great many people will ,
lay I am in error in mentioning ^
;he fact that women can play all g
mtdoor sports. There is our g
jreat national game, for in- g
stance. How many people will g
say, “I never saw a woman who g
:ould play baseball.” To these g
jeople who doubt young ladies g
:an play baseball, I wish to say g
;hat I, at one time, was under g
;he impression until I witnessed g
i game played by the All Ameri- jj
:an Ladies’ Baseball Club. This jj
:lub of lady players do play a g
•emarkable good game of ball, fj
ind to those people who doubt g
adies can play ball, I wish to jj
state—do not fail to witness the jj
rame of ball on Wednesday, Oc- j
ober 8th, when the famous All j
American Ladies will play one of [
:he most interesting and excit- j
ng games ever witnessed in
Newport, with the Newport
:eam.

COMFORTING WORDS.
I
Many A Newport Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of
a bad back removed—to be en
tirely free from annoying, dan
gerous urinary disorders, is e
nough to make any kidney suf
ferer grateful. The following
advice of one who has suffered
will prove comforting words to
hundreds of Newport readers:
Mrs. B. F. Owens, Magness,
Arkansas, says: “One of our
family complained a great deal
of a dull pain in the small of
the back. Dizzy spells were
common, especially in the morn
ing. The kidney secretions
were too frequent in passage.
Hearing Doan’s Kidney Pills
highly recommended, a box
was procured. They made a
cure.”

Controversy Grows Warm
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct- 6.—The con
troversy between R. G. Dye,
state highway commissioner,
and A. V. Smith, author of the
present good roads law, over the
provisions of the act passed in
the last days of the legislature,
is growing warm. Mr. Dye says
the act is cumbersome and a
failui-e, but Mr. Smith insists
that It is all right if enforced
properly. Mr. Dye retaliates
with the declaration that:
“All the trouble is in the law.
The people have a right to know,
so far as the department is con
cerned. why no road work is go
ing on by improvement districts
created under the Smith bill, and
to put good roads enthusiasts on
notice that now is the time to
begin a campaign which will re
sult in the enactment by the leg
islature of a law under which
roads can be built. All that Mr.
Smith has to say about his bill
or rather the defects of his bill
is that he is willing to step down
and out in the event the bill is
fatally defective.
“It quickly developed that the
bill was not workable and that
the law is too cumbersome and
impracticable and so much so
that it is inoperative.
Immediately after the ap
proval of the act I carefully and
I'ligontly examined the law
with a view to determining
whether marketable bonds
:ould be issued by improvement
Jistricts thereunder. They can
not. Later along I submitted
the proposition to Attorney Gen
eral Moose and he unqualifiedly
concurred with me.”

Perhaps that is still your method

A set of "Standard" laundry
