TWO SIDES TO EVERY QUESTION: — Dsftatches from Brownsville, Tex., concerning a conference between Sen i ator Harding and Senator Fail sug- i gest that it dealt in part with “ways | and means to lift from American d.i:>ping the burden of toll charges in tlie Panama canal.’’ The statement has been reiteraitj frequently of late that it is this qr.eß; tion in part which takes the I’rei-I ident-elect to the canal, lie is said tc be determined "that the commerce of i tlie United States shall, not snferi much longer under what he regards as unfair exaction." In the absence, of a contrary statement we may asfeutie that Senator Harding believes' (lie present arrangement of canal toils unjust and subject to revision which will allow Ame rican vessels free I passage. if that is the case, we believe the senator is in error. In th'e first place,; the present toll arrangements are not ■ unfair to American shipping .To elim-ji inate them would be unfair. It wo.tldh in effect be a subsidy which would put 11 millions of dollars into the pockets j 1 of coast cities and shipping interests, t agricultural interests and manufactur- I ers who helper! to pay and are s'ill p helping to pay for construction of the t canal.

• thus subsidize private interests in Now York, Boston, San Francisco oi Seattle, especially as the Atlantic coast in particular is fighting bitterly to prevent us from enjoying the al- • vantages of ocean ports. So much fin lour direct financial interests in the Panama canal. There is another and even greater reason why it is tolly to consider ex ' empting American ships from the canal tollfl. The Haj’-PauncetVte treaty for construction of the Nicaraguan canal made all nations subject to the same treatment on tolls. The selection of the Panama rather than ' the Nicaraguan route left room for debate on this provision. That is no eason why we should welsh. Canada for many years has lived 'conscientiously up to its promise’, giving American ships free and equal use of the Welland canal and the four other canals between Lake Ontario and tidewater, all of which have been constructed erttirely with Canadian or British money. \ It is not good judgment, good diplomacy, good economics or good politics to free American ships from the Panama canal tolls. We hope Mr. Harding's investigation is designed to I get at the facts rather than to conI firm him in a decision already made. —Chicago Tribune. The Indiana Times now points out 'that the campaign In this state should have been made on state issues. Many ■ thought that months ago, but what’s the use now, when it's too late and when the returns convince every one that no campaign th»t could have been made would have stopped the landslide? When the voters shut their eyes, shake their heads and vote to support an administration which has more than doubled taxes, when they blindly vote for a man for state treasurer who has been found short as treasurer of his city and county, what's the use to even talk almut what should have been done? Every one knew the facts and they voted as they did, anyway.

n The "bosses” of the republican ir party have figured out that they have c 25.000 Jobs to distribute among tlie faithful. Evidently all the public servants are not under the civil law. l ’ Already it is said ten applications for 1 each Job are in the hajids of those e empowered to distribute and soon the fun will begin. Five hundred of the r places pay more than $6,000 while the [ rest averhge about $3,000. The seno ate committee has announced they a will not confirm any more appointments by President Wilson. In other I words they are the government ami 9 we guess from the returns in the re- , cent election, they are. — ■ ■ '..■l r t The city plant is worth nearly six thousand dollars, replacement value at present prices, according to the report filed by the engineers. The electric plant earned a profit even greater this year while the water plant has consistently lost money. These are the facts and they are. worthy of your earnest Consideration. Wc do not gain any thing by wild talk, by false charges, by personal abuse. What we should all want is to arrange matters so that the plant is profitable, well managed and so equipped that electric current and water can be furnished ' at tlie lowest possible cost. Compare the two hundred teachers of Adams county to the same number of people in any other field of activ- ■ ity and you will find they more, than , measure up in every way. They are the salt of the earth, doing a great work with little thanks and small I pay. if there is a class of people on i this earth who deserve to come into their own, it’s the school teacher. If they will step out and take their i places and the people will support < them, you will improve the community i more rapidly than in any other way i i and at a smaller cost. i ___________ I i With winter just starting, every ] care should be taken in advance to J prevent another epidemic of influenza. ‘ For two years past we have suffered J from this disease which should be ' stamped out this winter. A little pre- ’ caution about yourself may prevent a J serious illness, if you have a cold, j stay at home and take care of it and ' don't spread it. There are a number ' of preventative measures and the ad 'j vice of your family physician may j be very valuable just now. The state of Massachusetts gives j her citizens an average of seven ; years' school as compared to 4.4 years ( in the United States and three years I in Tennessee. As a result the citi- ! zens of Massachusetts produce a per capita average wage of $260 Its compared to $l7O for the United States and sll6 for the state of Tennessee. Does it pay to boost your schools? The wise merchant is advertising now, for it is important that he move, his stock. The Winter season; is here, Christmas is only five weeks away—there never Whs a better time. The results are assured you if you use care in wording your display and use the Daily Democrat. The Buxton lecture tonight at the gym is expected to attract a large crowd. Dr. Buxton lectured to the school children this afternoon.

Harding Seas a Brighter Future (Continued from pnge one) ually, to renounce extravagances and learn anew the lessons of thrift and providence. It will add to our power and emphasism once more." Speaking here at the gateway of Latin-America, he took occasion to urge friendly relations with all ua tions of the western hemisphere. "Somehow. I feel that the western hemisphere is our special field of influence and trade,” Harding said. "Our trade routes by sea ought to be as dependable as our rail routes at home and there ought to be significant and reassuring comity and concord among Americans, south, central and north. Bind our friendship with the ties of trade and we shall make it indissoluable.” Harding also addressed an, overflow meeting and later boarded the United Fruit steamer Parismino for his Panama cruise.

AN ENEMY TO GOOD HEALTH Good health has no greater enemy than constipation. You cannot "keep fit" for work or play if the bowels are irregular or clogged with a decomposed mass of undigested food from which the blood picks up disease-caus-ing impurities and carries them throughout tlie entire system.
