• THE CAMPAIGN OF 1924”
I shall not discuss the relative
merits of candidates. It is difficult
to decide between candidates until
the issues are clearly outlined, Con
ditions make issues and issues make
candidates. .
Before taking up the issues of
the coming campaign, permit me to
say the country is to be congratulat
ed upon the fact that our cam
paigns have been lifted to a high
er plane than those of the preceding
campaigns.
There is less abuse of men and
more charity of opinion; not less
conviction or courage in expression,
but more courtesy. It is we’l that
it is se.
The two great parties do not
differ in purpose of its patriotism
but in opinion and point of view. And
so with public men. They differ,
not so much in character as in fund
amental bias, which—throug often
unconscious—determines their views
on public questions. Whether a
public man leans toward the side of
“Bib business” or the side of the
people, is to be determined not by
what he says but by what he does.
The issues now before the coun
try test the bias of eadeis and the
poinet of view of the parties. The
difference in biase and point of view
is so pronounced that the coming
campaign seems likely to be the
most hotly contested campaign in
many years. The paramount issue
at this time seems quit sure to be
the question of taxation, and in
cludes the policy of the govern
ment on the income tax on the
traiff question. •
The Tax Situation
Secretary Mellon nas laid his
proposed revenue bill before the
Committee and the discussion has
already resulted in an alignment
in Congress that ignores party
lines. If you will take the two
bills, the Mellon bill and the Demo
cratic substitute, you will find that
the Mellon bill gives less reduc
tion in taxation and favors those
with large incomes over those with
small incomes. The Democratic
substitute not only makes a greater
reduction in taxation, and thus
brings more relif to the tax
payers, but the reductions proposed
discriminate in favor of the masses,
instead of the holders of large
incomes.
Congressman Hall, Chairman of
the Democratis National Commit
tee, has made a comparison df the
rates and pointed out that the
Democratic substitute gives more
relief than the Mellon bill to over
lillion taxpayers while the
MeMellon bill gives more relief than
the Democratic bill to only twelve
twelve thousand are persons with
thousand taxpayers —and these
large incomes.
No bill could better illustrate the
differenoen in the policy of the two
parties, the Democratic party
favoring reduction for all, both
rich and poor, while the Republi
can bill favors more relief to the
rich than to the poor. The revenue
measure when it passes Congress
and reaches the President will bear
more resemblance to the Demo
cratic substitute than to Secretary
Mellon’s original bill.
And Tariff, Too
The Democrats will also en
deavor to secure a reduction of the
tariff and the Republican organiza
tion will in all probability oppose
it. Here, too, the difference be
tween the two parties will be
noticeable.
The bonus presents another
issue. The Democratic and many
of the Republicans will favor
oonus, while "big business’*
oppose ot. Secretary Mellon at
tempted to make tax reduction
dependent upon the defeat of the
bonus. There is no reason why we
should not have both tax reduction
and the bonus! In fact, we should
have more tax reduction than Sec
retary Mellon proposed and we
should also have the bonus. The
money necessary ty pay the bonus
can be raised by special taxes that
need not bar upon the masses at
all. Then, too, the government
might restore to a specific tax on
war profits, such as was proposed
two years ago. While nearly all
of the people were suffering be
cause of the war, a few men made
enormous profits out of the war.
Why not make * these war-rich
profiteer* pay the boys who took
the risks while the profiteer stayed
at home and made money?
The Farmer*' Attitude
The farmers have the greatest
grievance against the profiteers.
They are selling upon parctially
a pre-war level and buying on a
level nearly fifty per cent, higher
than the level on which they sell.
The farmers constitute about
thirty P«r cent of the population.
How can prosperity be as great it
it ought to be when nearly one- third
of the people can only bpy about
two-thirds as much as they could
before the war?
Secretary Mellon has not only
discriminated against them in his
tax recommendation but he was
opposed to their having a repre
sentative on the Federal Reserve
Board. This was not due to any
conscious hostility to agriculture
but to an unconscious bias in favor
of great commerical interests
whoes claims for special privilege
are antagonistic ' to the farmers
demand for justicp.
The laborer finds the Republican
party unsympathetic, not because
it dislikes the laboring men as such,
but because-the big employers are
closer to Republican leaders, and
create the public opinion which im
presses these leaders. Humanity
demands remendial legislation and
this legislation, though it may be
delayed, cannot be prevented by re
actionary sentiment in Congress or
in the court. Society must move
forward even if it is necessary to
amend the Constitution.
Anent Constitution
It is likely that both parties will
find it "necessary to declare in lavor
of an amendment to the Constitu
tion requiring six or seven judges
to concur in the nullifying of leg
islation, just as both parties are
likely to declare in favor of an
ammendment permitting the taxa
tion of government bonds.
Another issue that is likly to
bring out verly clearly the tenden
cies of the two great parties is the
issue embodied in the authorization
of temporary Federa operation of
rairoads and coal mind whenever
a strike or lock-out menaces the
public welfare.
The Democrats, giving prefer
ence to the needs of the general
public, will probably favor vesting
the president with such power in
emergencies, while the Republican
leaders, leaning to the side of “big
business,” will be likely to op
pose legislation objectionable to
large corporations. The progres
sive Republicans will doubtless
side with the Democrats, because
on vital issues they are really
near to the Democrats than they
are to* the controlling influences of
the Republican party.
It is impossible, at this time, to
say just to what extent interna
tional questions will demand public
attention. At present domestic
issues overshadow international is
sues, but the international issues
cannot be ignored.
What We Need
I believe one of the greatest
needs of the voters is a national
Bulletin, that wiD insure the in
formation necessary for intelligent
consideration of issues. The radio

I have not discussed the prohibi
tion question because it will be
an issue only to the extent neces
sary to insure enforcement. Pro
hibition is the permanent polcy
of the natoin. The twio great
parties united in bringing prohibi
tion and should unite in enforcing
it. I hope botli parties -will have
dry platforms and dry candidates.
The i Democratic party has
to government by any class what
ever, and therefore can consistent
ly oppose turning the government
over to a farmer’s party or to a
laboring man’s party.
How can the Republican party
object consistently to a government
by large gi%ups, such as farmers
and laborers, when it has been will
ing in the past to turn the govern
ment over to small groups repre
senting special interests?

FERTILIZERS FOR ORCHARD
In Arkansas, it is found that a
greater per cent of the apple blooms
set fruit when nitrate of soda was
applied abou tthree weeks before
blooming than if applied earlier or
later. In other words, in the case
of the apple, it seems advisable to
give an application of nitrate of
soda or sulphate of ammonia just
about three weeks before blooming
time.
A good, all round fertilizer for
which, apple, and other kinds of
trees is one analyzing 8-4-4. Apply
about the time the blooms begin to
open, using our to twelve pounds
per rtee or peaches, and a larger
amount or apples. Spread it broad
cast under the branches, going only
up to within two to our eet of the
trees and scattering it a ewfeet be
yond the spread of the branches, and
cultivate it in. The usual costom is
to apply it just before the time to
give the first cultivation.
Young peach and apple trees—
those set within the past year or
two—should have about one and one
half to two pounds per tree.
Gradually increase this amount un
til eight to twelve pounds is given
to the large peach trees tnd twenty
to twenty five pounds for the large
apple trees.
Where the fruit trees or grape
vines have not made the growth
that is desirable, from a half pound
to two or three pounds of nitrate
of soda or sulphate of ammonia
should be given in addition to the
fertilizer mentioned above. The

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took or. : hat dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful ef
fect. .
But brewing at home is oiussy ana
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will
get this famous old preparation, im
proved by the addition of other ingre
dients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and b«uty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair,faking one strand at a time.
B y. morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

much rich food creates acids which Clog
the kidney pores so that Alley sluggishly

get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at

to drink soft water in quantities; also
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from

This famous salts is made from the
