MONOPOLY’S PROPAGANDA

Doubtless one ought to be ashamed to pay attention to the drivel peddled out in the declining years of the decayed monopolytariff propaganda. But, in view of the columns of this kind of stuff turned out from week to week by the subsidized remnant of the old Payne-Aldrich school, one may be pardoned a few paragraphs by way of epitaph to the departed. During the first year of the Underwood tariff there was less than the normal annual increase of imports—-about $80,000,000 increase. On the other hand, during the first fiscal year of the PayneAldrich tariff, 1909-10, imports increased by over $245,000,000.

If, therefore, increase of imports were due to the Underwood tariff in 1914, and this increase created a depression in business, as argued by the Payne-Aldrichites, what shall we say of the effect produced by three times as heavy increase of imports just after the Republican tariff became effective in 190910?

If $80,000,000 increase of imports depresses business, what will $245,000,000 increase do? In the first place, it is absurd that a petty increase of $80,000,000 in the Import trade would have an appreciable effect upon the $40,000,000,000 business total of the country one way or the other. It represents only one-fifth of 1 per cent of the business total. It would not pay for the smoking tobacco, and is about three per cent of the country’s drink bill. Inr the next place, the increase of imports might be an aid so far as its effects went. For example, imports of raw wool have increased under the duty-free schedule of the Underwood tariff over $100,000,000 during the past year as compared with 1912. What is the effect?

Our production of woolen goods has doubled, and the export of woolen manufactures has increased seventeenfold.

As shown by the statistics of commerce for the first eight months of the present calendar year, our imports of crude materials for use in manufacturing are nearly $300,000,000 larger than for the same period in 1915. And what is the effect? Our exports of manufactures ready for consumption have increased $960,000,000. Be that as it may, when the Republican party gets to the point that it seriously argues that an import trade increase amounting to one-fifth of one per cent of the country’s business produces a national depression of industry, it simply advertises itself as having reached that stage of mental decay when its only logical destination is the garbage heap.—lndiana Forum.

A QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP

Just at this time the question of neutrality is claiming much attention, and the matter of the attitude of our government toward the warring nations of the old world is one of deep concern. And owing to the fact that our government has had to settle some knotty international disputes arising from the war, a rather mixed up condition of affairs ie prevailing in this country.

The disputes with Germany and wihi England have developed a proGerman and an anti-German element, a pro-British and an antiBritish. We are told that we must, concede every claim of Germany or lose the sympathy of the GermanAmericans. We are also told we must conciliate Britain or alienate a large Anglo-American element. Now the thought that naturally occurs to the patriotic American is: What is the attitude of these various elements 'toward cur government? Are they American citizens or aliens? That is a question to be settled.

If this pro-German or pro-British element with whose vengeance we are threatened, are aliens —not American citizens—then their likes and dislikes are of small concern to us. If they do not like our attitude let them go back to their own country.

If, on the other hand, they are American citizens, then another and very large question arises. Are they citizens for revenue onlyholding citizenship for the material good to be derived therefrom while their hearts and affections are with the old country? Then the sooner they come out in the open the better for thia country. Are they here to cull the sweets of the land and refuse to take the bitter? Is it their intention to enjoy the protection of our laws and our institutions while their hearts are with those who may at any day become our enemies?

To the man who has crossed the waters to cast his lot in America, citizenship should be the most priceless of his possessions—is so

to the man who is worthy of it. He should be as the bride who leaves her father’s house to cast her lot with ’her Chosen mate—for good or ill. The man who takes citizenship should do so for good or for ill. One sentiment, and only one, should fire the heart of every American, native or naturalized, and that should be: “My country—may she always be right; but my country.” And, with due respect to the opinions of our political jingoes, we believe this is the sentiment of the great mass of our foreign born citizens. We cannot believe they are most solocitous for the welfare of the land they have left than for the land that has afforded them a home and plenty. Naturally, fond memories cluster around the old home, but the allegiance of their manhood lies here. And, should the occasion cajl for it, we believe that allegiance will hold firm.

PUNISHMENT FOR REFORMATION

Edward E. Dudding of Huntington, West Virginia, himself an exconvict, claims to have secured employment for 3,000 ex-convicts. He also claims that of that number less than 100 have “fallen down” on their jobs. Mr. Dudding has gotten hold of the right wire in twentieth century reform. Strange that otherwise kindhearted and humane people will persist in “punishing” the criminal, even after he has paid the uttermost farthing of his penalty. Why cannot we all see that the logical end of law is not'to punish but to reform the evil-doer? Pause a moment and consider that word “punish.” Doesn’t it smack too much of vengeance? And whoever heard of vengeance reforming a transgressor? Perhaps when the vengeance has so completely broken the poor wretch that he has lost the power of resentment we may consider him reformed, but God save us from such reformation. As men of enlightenment and mercy, we should look on the law machinery of the land merely as the means by which we may reform or re-make the human character which untoward circumstances have warped and twisted out of its original symmetry. The very idea of punishment is repugnant to the soul of the merciful man, and should have no place in our scheme of life. We insist that the idea of punishment as applied to the. evil-doer is unworthy of the enlightened citizenship of this great country. Reform the evil-doer, re-make the warped and twisted character; restrain, if necessary, the incurably vicious, but punish—never.

PLAYING BOTH ENDS AGAINST THE MIDDLE

Our Republican friends, in their efforts to discredit Wilson and his administration, tell the big business man that congress, in passing the Adamson law, surrendered to the transportation brotherhoods. They say the government gave the men everything they wanted, without investigation. These same friends, prompted by the same motive, come to the railroad men and say that the Adamson law is no good, that it doesn’t give the men anything; that it was the merest bunk.x Now, one or the other of these statements must be wrong. As a matter of fact, both of them are wrong. It is just another case of attempting to play both ends against the middle, which is about all Mr. Hughes and his followers have attempted thus far in the campaign.—lndiana Forum. According to foreign correspondents all nations are winning tremendous victories in Europe. But, then, it’s a poor correspondent who can’t magnify a scratch into a carnival of blood. Most people are always waiting for “the lightning to strike them,’’ and when a flash does come near them they shiver and jump like a dog having a nightmare. We want everybody to vote at this election. It’s your duty to vote. The public weal requires that you vote. Your own interests urge you to vote. Put your words, as well as your money, out at interest. A courteousword to your neighbor today may bring you two tomorrow. If you are* cheerful in the position you find yourself In today, tomorrow may find you in a better one and yet more cheerful. Scientists tell us the moon is increasing its speed. But, then, who cares? We’re not trying to keep up with the moon.
