WHY NOT KEEP THE PROMISES?— The program proposed for the special session of congress is so disappointing and disheartening, and betrays such a IncKof knowledge of the needs of the country and the world, that it teems impossible to believe that it will not, after fuller consideration, be modified. 'Uie plan, it is said, is to postpone all action In connection with our international relations till next December, since the extra session will need all the time at its disposal for tariff and financial legislation. There is as yet no jdemonstrat'ion, or anything approaching it, that any general revision of the tariff is needed. The turning to this work, as though it were paramount, will revive the fears of those who have felt that nothing had been learned by the republican leaders since 1912. Certain it is that the tariff has assumed an importance in their eyes which it does not hold in the thought of the people. There is, as far as we know, no one with any of the qualifications of an expert, who does not believe that the greatest obstacle to the return of a soundly based prosperity is uncer-

tainty, and particularly the uncertainty that attaches to our international relations. Here is the great disturbing factor. Yet there are those who would leave ail these great and Vital questions open and at loose ends for another year. Nor would the passage of the resolution declaring' the existence of a state of peace with Germany do anything to dispel that uncertainty. The resolution would' not even bring peace in the full sense. I That can come only from agreement, and there would be a serious question as to whether Germany would accept the resolution and consent to be bound by its terms. Even if she did there Would be still many rights left to be defined, both political and property, rights which are guaranteed to us only by the Versailles treaty. The question of the ratification of that treaty would still be an open one, and it would also be a subject of hot discussion. If there is to be an attempt to get a “new association,” and that attempt is not begun till December, there is no telling when a solution will be reached. With such a delay as that suggested the whole question would almost certainly be thrown into the election of senators and representatives «t 1922. During aU thlK tijue

the business men of America would be left in a state of the most distressing uncertainty. If the republican convention spoke truly it would be impossible for congress to deal with the tariff until our foreign relations were determined. Here is the tariff plunk of the Chicago platform: The uncertain and unsettled condition of internßional balances, the abnormal economic and trade situation of the world, mid the impossibility of f'B ' ting accurately even the fear future, preclude the formulation of n definite program to meet conditions a year hence. But the republican party reaffirms its belief In the protective principle and pledges itself to a revision of the tariff as soon as conditions shall make it necessary for the preserva tion of the home market for American labor, agriculture and industry. Yet it is now suggested that congress revise the tariff before it has done anything to remove the obstacles which the republican convention said, and with perfect truth, made wise tariff revision impossible. The proposed policy is a complete reversal-and a most dangerous one —ot’ that advocated by the republican convention. The business men of America should be heard from on this subject. The long delay has already cost the nation and the world enonnou :ly. Yet now it is proposed not to begin Io get ready to act till more than three years after the signing of the armistice and more than two years after the treaty was submitted to the senate. And then, if the new tariff is what many would like to make it. we shall in all probability begin our peace negotiations in the midst of tariff wars with the very nations with which we are seeking to reach an agreement. <—lndianapolis News.

President Wilson. It goes with the position. Remember the meeting ot the Industrial Association this evening. Mutters of great Importance will be discussed. If you don’t help and every one else takes the same attitude, we wouldn't get far. Indications for a much better year than seemed likely a few weeks ago are getting brighter. The went fromtthe General Electric company that n full force will be put on again within a few days means much. With an increased output ut that factory the Decatur Castings company will necessarily be kept busy and a larger force no doubt be put on there. Other concerns are planning lo increase their forces and it looks probable that every one in this community who wonts work will have it. There is something in living in a good town and that’s what Decmur is. “If the president had not established the Federal Reserve, this c&uiitfy would now be going through a jetblack panic that would make “Black Friday” seem like a happy celebration and there would be tons of thousands of bankrupts all over the country. Bear that in mind as Mr. Wilson approaches the end of his term.” By Arthur Brisbane in the Chicago Herald-Examiner, KERENSKY'S NEW IDEA V / (United Press Service) Paris, Jan. 11—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Russia must be saved from being looted by voracious American capitalists, Alexander Kerensky declared today in an exclusive interview. With this objective the former premier called for all the airti-bol-shevik factions to rally to him to hurl Lenine and Trotsky out of power. The United Press correspondent was received in a hotel room which, littered with charts and maps, resembled an army headquarters. There Kerensky was in conference with anti-bolshevik military experts and statesmen. '' IT’S GOOD FOR CHILDREN Mrs. C. E. Schwab, 1007, St. Canton, Ohio, writes: “We use Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs and find it one of the best remedies on the market, especially good for children’s coughs, as it does not contain any dreg that is harmful.” Serious sickness often follows lingering colds. Hard coughing racks a child's body and disturbs strength-giving sleep, and the poisons weaken the system so that disease canot be warded off. Take Foley’s in time. —Sold Everywhere.
