W. C. KATES Editor
Mr. Famer: How much benefit
did you get from that tariff on wheat
that the present republican congress
gave you?
We just wonder what Abe Lincoln,
would have thought of the spectacle J
of the republicans giving Newberry J
the seat he paid a quarter of million j
for.
Abe Martin says one of his towns-
men bought a new pair of shoes the
other day with some money he had
left over from the Wilson administra-
tion.
President Harding seems to think
he can get the famers from under the
agricultural bloc in congress, by ap-
pointing its leader, Senator Kenyon
to a federal judgeship.
Oklahoma with a greater popula-
tion than Kansas, has in fourteen
years under democratic administra-
tions, built all its public buildings,
established its public institutions and
conducted its state government cheap-
er than republican Kansas, still the
republicans of Oklahoma have the
audacity to claim that if given con-
trol of our state they would lessen
our taxes. The voter was fed that
guff in the last election and now
know the results. The accomplish-
ments of the present congress are a
full answer to their claims.
According to the republican theory,
President Harding is getting the
country back to normalcy. Cheap
prices for the farmer's products and
good round prices for the manufactur-
ers goods.
In making out your income tax
returns this year—if you are fortun-
ate enough to have made the requsite
cash to cause you to make one—see
if your rate of taxation is any less in
these times of piping peace and lower-
ing prices. The big fellows had a
substantial cut in theirs at the hand
of a republican congress.
A congressional election is coming
on and just watch the republicans in
congress put over a bonus bill, but
at the same time see if they provide
a means of raising the funds for the
bonus unless forced to by the demo-
crats. They want the votes that they
think a bonus will bring, but don't
want to tap the pocket books of their
Standard Oil friends.
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes apepar to be tickled to
death over their little five power as-
sociation of nations. That fairly well
represent the size of the vision of
the present republican administration.
Forty-eight nations in a league of
nations is entirely too large for the
calabre of the present leaders of the
republican party.
The agricultural bloc in congress
is not to President Harding's liking.
He has been used to doing business
with the tariff bloc, the packers bloc,
the farm implement bloc, the Stand-
ard Oil bloc and Wall street bloc. The
agricultural bloc fails to do the bid-
ding of those who put up the big
campaign fund to Will Hays, there-
SOUND ADVICE ON PRO-
HIBITION
(By W. H. Dial)
Harry Carr, writing for the Los
Angeles Times, makes a suggestion to
the American people which is about
the soundest bit of advice which has
come to light in a long, long time.
Taking advantage of the season when
most of us make "good resolutions,"
Mr. Carr comes forward with this
one:
Resolved that henceforth the Eight-
eenth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States shall be as sac-
red to me as the other parts of the
Constitution; I will neither violate it,
countenance its violation nor flout it
with ridicule.
It is the idea of the proponent of
this resolution that it ought to be
adopetd by every person, male and fe-
male, who has love and honor and
respect at heart for this great coun-
try of ours, its institutions and ifs
laws. "It does not matter," he de-
clares, "whether you believe in pro-
hibition or not. It is too late for
that."
Now, as I see it, Mr. Carr is abso-
lutely right in his position. The
United States still is a young nation.
By the standards of the world, our
government "of the people, by the
people, for the people," has not pass-
ed the experimental stage. It is
entirely conceivable that something
might happen to overthrow it.
As Mr. Carr so ably points out, the
one thing which the people of other
countries have never been able to un-
derstad is that American quality of
adaptability by which we accept,
cheerfully and completely, the results
of our elections. We have all seen
bitter presidential campaigns, with
the whole nation arrayed on the side
o fone or the other candidates, fight-
ing furiously and with might and
main, moving heaven and earth to
prevail. And we also have seen the
defeated candidate's supporters accept
with every sign of cheerfulness the
result of the balloting, all rancor and
malice forgotten.
With reference to the Eighteenth
Amendment, however, the losera for
the first time are refusing to accept
the verdict. And herein lies the
menace or real danger.
It must be apparent to any rea-
sonable person that there can be no
undermining of the organic law of the
land. Such a step must bring the
whole structure tumbling about our
ears. Let us look at this situation
squarely and honestly.
Our governmet is based upon the
Constitution.
The Eighteenth Amendment is as
much a part of the Constitution as is
any other section.
We cannot pull down one section of
that Constitution without pulling it
all down.
Going a bit further, it cannot be
denied that when we countenance or
aid in violating the Eighteenth
Amendment we put ourselves in the
position of flouting the law and
Constitution.
When we patronize the "bootleg-
ger" and the "blind tiger" we do so,
nine times in ten, because the pro-
cedure takes on the nature of a mildly
exciting adventure. Not so many
persons as one might think really care
about drinking. Before they days of
prohibition it was the exception when
a family kept anything in the Cellar
but winter apples and a ton or so of
coal. The before-dinner cocktail
which has become popular in private
homes rarely was met there before
the adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
I do not, and never have believed
that the moral fiber of the nation is
being weakened and destroyed
through this excessive drinking in the
homes. It merely is a condition and
it is bound to pass. People will get
sick and tired of paying exorbitant
prices for inferior, poisonous liquors
I, however, agree with Mr. Carr that
the ill effects of flouting our Consti-
tution are apt to be lasting. If the
law-abiding, self-respecting, patriotic
citizens of the United States, regard-
less of whether or not they believe in
prohibition, take to themselves) the
advice given and adopt Mr. Cajpr's
resolution, and live up to it, we need
have no fear.
