The old story of a foolish girl and boy risking all in life dan be duplicated in any town or village and the stigma of shame and somrow must often be borne ‘by the parents. A dashing young fellow can find a Marion Lambert any place or every place he goes and sim: ilar records will probably go on as long as the world stands. If young people could only have a vision of the terrible end they would hesitate long before taking the first wrong step and girls could not be persuaded to keep a secret from the mothers who would give their life for them. 1 THE REVENUE MEASURE The debate in the House of Repre sentatives recently over the adminis- tration’s wevenue bill ecvers much of the field of discusssion during the present campaign. The Democrats of- fered a2 measure for the imposition of numerous direct taxes upon the Amer- ican people and the Republicans com- batted it upon the principle that the best source of Federal revenue is the tax upon the importation of foreign i | | | | goods—which tax must be paid by the | foreigner and thus affords protection to the American producer. The reve- nue measure puts before the cour- tyy the fundamental differences bet- ween the Republican and Democrat- ic parties and, therefore, it empha- sizes the importance of revenue pol- GRANTSVILLE A party from Friendsville, posed of Icie Friend, Madge and Hat- tie Enlow, Albert and Clifford Enlow were guests of Mrs. Susan Durst and Allen Bender for a few days last week.

At the outset of the debate, Con- | margaret gressman Bennet, of New made a telling point against the methods pf the Democratic party when he ciritized the adoption of a rule which prevented the effective of- fering of amendments by Republi- cans.

Part of the from the solid South, it was evident that the South proposed to pass a tax law under which the North would | campfire at pay the great bulk of the taxes. This| were incident to; sectional discrimination Democratic methods was not com- mented upon by Mr. Bemmet, who ‘contented himself with calling at tentoin to the fact that adoption of the rule is in direct violation of the reforms which the Progressives have been demanding and the effect must be to preclude the Progressives from violating the Democratic ticket. Representative Campbell, of Kan- sas, who led the opening debate on the merits of the bill, declared that although there have been some in- creases in. appropriations due to pre- paredness, those increases do not justify’ the enormous tax burdens which the Democrats propose: to im- pose upon the American people. Con- densing his argument into a few words, he said: “There has never been a time of peace in the history of our country that we have not produc- ed sufficient revenue to pay all our expenses, when the government im- posed import duties high enough to protect the industries of the country. On the other hand, there has never been a time when our customs duties have been so slow as to give freedom of trade, in which the revenues have not been insufficient to defray the ex penses of the government.” Mr. Camp- bell gave statistics to prove his as- sertion and quoted Jefferson and Jackson in support of protective tar- iffs, which * were good Democratic policies until the party, under the leadershop of Calhoun, became an exponent of free trade. One of the humorous, and from a Democratic standpoint, unfortunats features of the debate was a refer- ence to the inauguration of the use of horsemeat for human food during the hard times that followed the en- actment of the - Underwood law.
