FREE WOOL AGAIN?
IS THAT WHAT FARMERS OF THE
COUNTRY WANT 7
Short Looking Over of Conditions
That Prevailed When the Demo
crats Were in Power Will
Just Now Be Profitable.
The* last time the Democrats were
in power in the United States they
carried out their Free Trade threat
and put wool on the free list. The
sheep industry of America was de
stroyed, wool sold for ten cents a
pound and farmers took what they
could get for their sheep. A dollar a
head was the top price. And yet
no man, woman or child got. a yard
o) woolen cloth or a suit of woolen
clothes a penny cheaper. The effect
of free wool was destruction, that's
all. The farmers of' Missouri, and
every other sheep-raising state, lost
millions of dollars and nobody re
ceived any benefit. One of the Demo
crats who helped bring about that
disaster of fifteen years ago was
Champ Clark, of Missouri, the pres
ent leader of his party, and he now
declares that ho learned nothing
from the awful lesson of free wool.
On the 21st day of last May, while
he was making a speech in the House
of Representatives, assailing the lie
publican policy of Protection and an
nouncing to the country what he and
his party would do if again entrusted
with power, Mr. Nicholas Longworth,
of Ohio, interrupted him as follows:
'Then, if I understand the gentle
man, he is in favor of no duty on any
article of wool or its products."
Mr. Clark replied:
"T think it would be a blessing to
the American people if it was all
wiped out on that schedule."
When he made that reninrk his
Democratic colleagt>es in the House
of Representatives, the men who will
write a tariff law if given the chance
to do so, greeted it with great ap
plause.
What do the farmers think of it?
In the years 1893 to 1897, when we
had wool, there was no applause
on the Democratic side, or anywhere
else. There was only distress and
suffering.
He Is a Republican.
Congressman Charles N. Fowler, of
New Jersey, failed of renomination
last week but he isn't sulking. He
has Issued a statement in which he
says that he cheerfully acquiesces in
the people's action. "I am a Repub
lican," he says. "Indeed, I allow no
man togo before me in loyal devo
tion to the fundamental principles of
the Republican party; and therefore
I shall continue to fight for those prin
ciples in the future as in the past
within the ranks o? the Republican
party."
That's the way to talk. The ques
tion now is, as President Taft puts it,
whether we shall have in the national
house of representatives a Republican
or a Democratic majority. Principles
are greater than men. To uphold Re
publican principles, all Republicans
must subordinate Individual opinions
and work together. That sort of ac
tion means success The only alterna
tive ta a Democratic victory.
Unintelligent Protectionism.
In 1871 there were 25,000,000 sheep
in Germany; now there are only 7,000,-
000. The unintelligent application of
the principle of protection is respon
sible for the enormous decrease. Free
wool has made It unprofitable to
raise sheep In parts of the empire.
Doubtless the scientific schedule
framers of the German tariff thought
they were doing the right tiling when
they discouraged th«- stoek raiser,
but it is an open question whether
the advantage gained by the manu-
facturer li.it not been mora than off
Bet by tin- higher price of m< at In
Oernmny. Flocks of ahcep, atfgre
gating 25,000,000, produced an enor
mouM quantity of mutton, the diminu
tion of which muMt be held respon

price Hermann are compelled to pay

OBJECT LESSON FOR AMERICA
Wail From Free Trade England Should
Be of Interest to the Voter
Just Now.
Oread in London is up one cent a
loaf (of four pounds). New price 12
cents a loaf for ordinary, 13 cents for
best quality, by agreement of the Lon
don Master Makers' Protective society.
In England the bakers' business is in
deep distress and throughout the
United Kingdom skilled bakers are
starving.—New York Press.
And this in free trade England,
where for many years "the cheap loaf"
has been the fraudulent free trade
cry. There is no tariff there to put
up the price of bread. It would have
been better if there had been a tariff
on farm products, for then British ag
riculture would have thrived instead
of almost disappearing as a produc
tive industry, leaving the United
Kingdom almost breadless, except for
what the rest of the world could sup
ply. As the case stands, bread is
high; the "cheap loaf" is no longer
cheap; dwindled to a point where
British bakers are starving, robbed by
free trade of employment and wages,
are going without bread. Has the tar
iff done this? Hardly, since there is
no tariff in Great Britain on wheat or
flour. No; it is not the tariff, but
free trade that, has brought all this
starvation and misery.
How Will You Vote?
The Republican candidate for con
gress in this district believes in pro
tection. Every voter knows that in
congress he will resist to the utmost
every Democratic effort to destroy
protection and return to Democratic
free trade, or, worse yet, the tariff
for revenue system.
The Democratic candidate for
congress in this district does not be
lieve in protection, but in free trade,
or, worse yet, the tariff for revenue
system. Every voter knows that in
congress he would count one in every
Democratic assault upon the Republic
an principle of protection.
We tried the Democratic system in
the four awful years from 1893 to
1897.
We have had protection and prosper
ity since that time.
Patriotism, as well as personal in
terests and the interests of the wife
and children, points out the Repub
lican path of duty.
Think It Over.
Democrats talk as If the country
were on the verge of ruin.
Is It?
Wages were never higher.
Our factories were never busier.
Our railroads never had a greater
mileage or a larger number of locomo
tives and cars in use every minute of
the day and night.
There never were so few idle men.
Farmers never had so good a mar
ket for the products of their farms.
Prosperity never was more marked
or more general.
Where is the distress?
Where are the soup houses?
Where are the Coxey's armies?
What industry is on the decline?
What workingman who wants work
fails to lind it?
Think it over.
ft
Still Tearing 'Em Down.
The recent declaration of Democ
racy's leader, lion. Champ Clark, of
Missouri, in favor of free wool and
the applause of all the Democratic
congressmen when he made it, show
that he and his party still stand on
the old free trade platform. In
IXO7, Mr. Clark made another Demo
cratic speech and said:
"i am a free trader, and proudly
take my stand with Sir Hubert Peel,
Richard Cobden, John Mrlght and
lieury George ... If I had my
way today sir. I would tear them
(custom houses) all down from turret
to foundation stone."

We have the right to appeal to the

DARING YOUNG SKY PILOT ]
—————— —"""""""n Walter Richard Brookins, the youthful sky
pilot who made the successful flight from Chl
fjplr jjSSßajfc eago to Springfield, belongs in the aviation game
by right of having been born in the city Wright
B*'' brothers have given such great fame. He is a Day
'on' O' l ' o, k° 5 ' W ' lG ' las b een over a great deal of
\ America and Canada, having been for a time a
(m driver of racing automobiles before taking up
iwj air flying.
\ 112 AwJk Brookins is just past twenty-two years old. He
\ »v=&/'''> fIWV observed his last birthday July 11 by making rec
\ .M/ J ord flights at Atlantic City, N. J. It was at this meet
\ v that he broke the then world record for high
rIM/tA flight for the third time by driving his machine
jjff/f/ij A i /If mi, In a series of spectacular dashes to the height of
/ f(H ' /|| I) l| W yfl) g,200 feet. Brookins' parents are Americans.
Both his father and mother are living, and he
has two brothers and one sister. Walter attended the public schools of
Dayton and managed, between learning to run automobiles and watching
the Wright brothers practise with their gliding machine, to graduate from
the Dayton high school. That Is as far as he got with theoretical schooling.
After that he went out into the world and became an automobile man of more
than ordinary skill. He perfected himself to such an extent In that profes
sion that he decided to try to become an aviator.
The Wrights knew quite a little about Brookins as a hoy. In their obser
vations of his automobile experiences they recognized him as a safe man for
their venturesome calling. They told Walt he might have a trial. Young
Brookins began as a pupil of the Wrights the latter part of last March. He
practised about five hours before he went up for his first flight alone. After
that he kept training daily with Orville Wright. He was the first man
trained by Orville Wright and it was not long before he was Intrusted with
the training of others of- the Wright school.
Brookins' first big meet, really his first public appearance outside the
Wright reservation at Dayton, was at Indianapolis last June, and he imme
diately started in breaking world records.
Hitherto Brookins has confined Ills attempts at record-breaking to his
specialties of height, quick turning and slow flights. He holds the world's
record for the latter now, it being 21 miles an hour. This is almost as essen
tial in the training of an aviator as is quickness in turning, both demonstrat
ing the operator's control of his machine and the sense of oneness with his
machine that he must have to be successful.
Since he started flying independently of the coaching of his trainer
Brookins has made brilliant, exhibitions at Indianapolis, Montreal. Atiantio
City, Toronto. Detroit, Asbury Park, N. J.. Boston and through the middle
of Illinois on his wonderful flight from Chicago to Springfield.
It is for his coolness and Intelligence that the Wrights have given him
so many responsible opportunities of flight. Personally he is a clean, alert,
self-controlled young man. He has no vices. He Is a wholesome, energetic
man.
CONSERVED HIS OWN LIFE |
—————"""""1 Henry Wallace, the new head of the National
Conservation congress, is himself a living ex
ample of the possibilities in conservation of hu
f \ man life. Thirty years ago, while holding the
'/ ' \ pastorate of a United Presbyterian church at
Morning Sun, lowa, he was informed by his phy-
Wfw sician that his days were numbered and that his
yiwW/ r ) only hope of prolonging life for even a reasonably
\&V#/ ijaflpil. | short time was to get out of the pulpit. He did
/// V.* r 'li .it not wait to preach a farewell sermon; he went
',7 ' wwi'■ ; Cmhrr ul 7 back to the farm and commenced anew the tl)
tl) simple life. Today, at seventy-four he is a vig
'i '' 1 V orous and healthy man, doing his full day's labor
every day and with intellect as keenly alive to
every issue of the time.
Mr. Wallace's special Interest in the work
came to a head when he consented to associate
himself with others in the work of the Roosevelt Country Life commission '
appointed a few years ago to inquire into the needs of the farms and sug
gest methods of improving the life of the rural community. On that com
mission he was associated with Gilford Pinchot, President Bailey, President
liutterfield anil others.
The presidency of the National Conservation association tame to Mr.
Wallace wholly unsought. Before he had thought of attending the convention
he stated clearly the demand of the friends of conservation. He said:
"The people of the west demand that the government aha!! protect the
remaining resources of the nation as yet under the control of the nation from
■pollation, by placing them under a cabinet officer or officers who are not
merely honest, but of whose integrity and efficiency there is not the shadow
of doubt, men whose affiliations have not heretofore been with the spoilers.
Anything short of this will invoke the wrath of an already outraged and indig
nant people."
