THE HAYS FREE PRESS A. L. CLARK & SON. Publishers and Proprietors Issued every Saturday, and entered at the Postofiice at Hays, Kansas, as second class matter. Subscription Per Year in Advance - $1.50 Established 1832 A Protective Tariff law operating at this time, that would yield a half billion dollars annually would relieve the necessity of that amount of internal taxation, says an exchange, It is plain ly evident to every intelligent Ameri can citizen that vast sums of money must be raised to pay interest on our bonded debt and defray the current ex pense of goverment for many years in the future. Sensible Tariff laws have been thoroughly tried in this country and elsewhere, and they have never yet failed to produced returns. Funds must be raised, and it is up to the law making department of our Government to decide whether they will continue to raise needed funds by taxing American people, or whether they will compel the foreign merchant who markets his goods on our markets to pay his fair share for the freedom of our markets. The American merchant is taxed for the privilege of doing business. Why not make the same requirement of for eigners who sells his goods on our mar kets? A Protective Tariff law will pro duce a liberal amount of much needed revenue. Newaygo (Mich.) Republi can, 2.27.16. Congressman Fordney's Suggestion. Congressman Fordney of Michigan, who will be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the next National House of Representatives, and will therefore have charge of new Tariff legislation, suggest Charles M. Schwhd as hi3 first choice for Republican ca n didate for President. Senator Hard ing of Ohio is his second choice. Mr. Fordney says that in his opinion Mr. Wilson does not want a renomina tion. and he could not be nominated if he desired it. He predicted the defeat of Mr. Wilson's proposed "League of Nations" proposition in the Senate un less radically amended. He says that the great problem before the next Con gress is the readjustment of business, and restoration of a Protective Tariff. Economist. Mr. Wilson will "fight at home for his League of Nations," says the As sociated Press of last Monday. Well, there is no law against Mr. Wilson fighting for what he wants. Is he go ing to fight the American people and make them swallow anything he feels like they ought to swallow, whether they want to swallow it or not? Mr. Wilson will have to fight this battle alone. He will not have a House of Re presentatives and a Senate that he can crack the whip over and make them dance at his will, this time, as he has had in the past four years. They will swallow just so much of his Free-Trade League of all Nations propaganda as they think wholesome and will elimin ate the rest .He can boss all of the peo ple some of the time and some of the people all the time, but he cannot boss all of the people all of the time. Col linsville (Ala.) Courier, 2.27.19, In Close Touch. When Mr. WHson was on the' point of leaving for Paris on his first pil grimage, he told Congress: "I shall be in close touch with you and with the affairs on thiside f the water, and you willjknow all that I do." How did he keep this promise? By agreeing to secret conferences and communications to the outside world only by means of-' "communiques,'' not plain communications, but French scented "commuuiqaes;" Neither Con gress nor the people know what was being done until the "Covenant of a League of Nations" was born. Then Mr. Wilson, when out on the Atlantic, near Boston, sent a wireless to Con gress asking that there be no discus sion on the proposed "League" until he reached Washington and had the first opportunity to talk. Thus he sought to muzzle Congress when he was in Paris, and sought to muzzle Congress uutil after he had the first opportunity to get the public ear. In view of the fact that Mr. Wilson's program seeks to commit this nation by treaty and "League" to Free-Trade, it is not surprising that Protectionists resent his interpretation and applica tion of the "close touch." Economist. While American Free Traders are twittering about the removal of all economic barriers, John Bull puts up a steer-high, hog-tight fence against the importation of nearly every article of American manufacture. Washington National Republican, 3.1. 19. "Side Line" AI! Right. Those women who can do something should not be ashamed to be up and doing It. There is a t dignity attached to all honest labor, no matter how or dinary or commonplace it may be, and those of us who are qualified to help out at home will feel better and strong erproviding, of course, our family will in no way suffer as a result to be up and at our honest little "side line."

The dome of the United States Capitol at Washington Is kept in excel lent condition by painting it every few years. For this work forty painters are steadily employed for three months time. Over five thousand gallc s o? paint are required for one coat. The rvason for painting the Capitol dome at regular intervals is to prevent disintegration of metallic surface.

Save the surface and you save all. Disintegration and decay are conditions which usually start at the surface of any ma terial. Protection against de terioration or rot of substances, therefore, should begin with care of the exterior. Provided a material does not carry within Itself the element of sure decay, proper surface protection will undoubtedly lengthen Its life. Danger Everywhere. Little Millie's father and grandfa ther were Republicans, and, as elec tion drew near, they spoke of their opponents with ever-increasing warmth, never heeding Millie'seatten tive ears. One night as the little maid was preparing for bed she cast a fear ful glance across the room and whis pered in a frightened little voice : "Oh, mamma, I'm afraid to go to bed- I'm afraid there's a Democrat in the closet."

In it the famous Eue d9 Eivoli ends and the Champs Elysees begins. It is the true termination of the Grandes Boulevardes, for Parisi ans consider the Rue Royale as part of that celebrated chain of wide cafe lined streets. It is one of the most important and by far the most beau tiful of the many "places' from. which the main streets of Paris radiate. WILLINGLY GAVE UP WEALTH Dr. Remsen, Discoverer of Saccharin, Was Satisfied That Its- Use Was Injurious to Health: A romantic history Is attached to the discovery of saccharin. The dis coverer of the chemical derivative of coal tar, to which the name saccharin is popularly given, is Dr. Ira Remsen, chief consulting chemist of the Unit ed States department of agriculture. He was at first very enthusiastic as to the possibilities of tM artificial sweetstuff, which has a sweetening power about 500 times that of sugar. Its manufacture was organized on a large scale, and soon enormous quan tities were being used In making Ice cream and the soda water sirups to which Americans are addicted. Doctor Remsen was making an In come of something like $100,000 a year from his shares In the company when about five years ago his friend. Doctor Wylie, head of the United States pure food bureau, suggested a doubt of the wholesomeness of saccharin. Doctor Remsen thereupon submitted himself to rigorous tests of the action of saccharin on the digestive organs and on the heart. As a result he asked the department to issue an order pro hibiting its use as a food-sweetener. FROM EVE TO MODERN DAME Evolution of Feminine Attire From the Simple Fig Leaf Is Most Inter esting Study. When Eve first started out to dress to cover up her nakedness, she picked the fig leaves soft and green admired, perhaps their dusky sheen. But soon her daughters found this shade quite unbecoming to a maid with tresses neither gold nor red; so substituted grass instead, which made them yel low skirts when dried, and satisfied primeval pride. And then the blondes found peacock blue was quite their most becoming hue, and robbed that bird of plumage rare to decorate their sunny hair; while raven locks of the brunettes were strung with bright red featherettes. From beasts they took both fur-and hide, and still their wants were not supplied; they found the silk worm at his loom, at which his business took a boom ; they sheared Angora sheep and goats to make therefrom their winter coats. From fields of cotton and of flax came fabrics to adorn their backs; and now to Hooverize on waste, they've spider webs with beadwork traced! Eve's modesty Is quite forgot we've evoluted such a lot. Mrs. V. W. S., In the Kansas City Star. Good Ends Require Good Means. Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honor, on the plausible pretense that he Is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends -can be worked out by good means. Those that cannot, are bad ; and may be counted so at once, and left alone. Charles Dickens In "Barnaby- Rudge" Destroyed Builders' Bills. Nobody ever will know how much the great palace of Versailles cost France under the reign of its builder, Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared when he received. the bills, because he had heard a good deal about some dis turbers who were whispering that even a king had no right to spend so much money for a palace to house his friends when the. nation over which he ruled was starving. So Louis did what many a purchaser of expensive hats has donesince tore up the bills and burn ed them before anybody could look them over. Passions' Growth. Let me not forget that the power and joy of sacrifice grow upon those who exercise it. Pure passions grow as well as dark ones. W. L. Watkia son.
