SENATOR HARDING’S WARNING.
When we quote front Senator Hard
ing's speeches we regret that our
limited space does not permit us to
quote them in full. In his speech on
September 15 to a visiting delegation
of the Californians headed by Gov
ernor W. W. Stephens, Senator Hard
ing sounded a grave warning to both
the consumers and the producers of
this country, especially with refer
ence to our agricultural industry. He
said in part:
“Because the safety and prosperity
of the farmers of this country are
• our own safety and prosperity and
permanence, no man. woman or child
in the United States can fail to have
an interest in protecting our basic
industry—rthat of agriculture—where
ever protection is necessary by the
proper use of tariff regulation.
“The time has come when we are
ceasing to be a food exporting nation,
and must look well to guaranteeing
that we shall be self-sustaining. A
failure to be self-sustaining in agri
culture, in our food supply, will
mean tlie weakness which afflicted
and threatened one or more of our
great allies in the world war. Failure
to be self-sustaining would be a
menace to us in war, and % menace
to us in peace. We have adequate na
tional and international reasons for
keeping live our necessary agricul
tural industries when they are threat
ened by competition from lands of
cheap labor or new and exploited soil
by a protective duty upon our imports
of food. And, "of course, I use the
word agriculture in its broaded sense,
including horticulture.
"I think a case in point is your own
citrus and other fruit industries of
California. America must ask herself
if she will allow these industries to
be threatened in their very existence
by the invasion of foreign-grown
fruits cultivated, in some cases, un
der a subsidy given by a foreign gov
ernment, by labor which knows
nothing of our own American stand
ards of living. My answer is that
just as the fruit growers of California
are willing to put America first, so
must America be first in upholding
their efforts, and that if to save this
or any other worthy and developing
agricultural industry of America,
tariff protection is necessary, then
tariff protection must be given.
"I mark out the example of the
California agricultural industry not
only because you are Californians, but
because you are Americans, and be
cause the preservation of our agricul
ture is a vital allAmerican interest,
and, above all, the interest of the con
sumer.
“It may well be said a long list of
our farm products will require a Re
publican protective tariff policy.
There is an increasing menace to our
production of a number of farm pro
ducts in the opening of those coun
tries which can produce under ex
tensive methods with labor cheaper
than our own.
“Manchuria, South Africa, the Ar
gentine, Canada, Siberia, Australia,
New Zealand may, in the advancing
years, invade our markets and under
bid our farmers. In the case of Can
ada, wheat; Argentine, corn; cane su
gar from tropical islands, and beet
sugar from Europe, rice from the
Orient, beans and peas from Man
churia, meat from South America, and
other imports may threaten the afe
of our own production. It will be ne
cessary to give full and adequate
tariff protection to those industries.
“But I point out to you this fact—
and I will always bear in my own
mind—the Republican protection of
specific American agricultural in
dustries must not be based upon any
group or class which either by the
imposition or removal of rates of duty
thinks it will profit. Our protection
by the tariff of agricultural industries
must, be based upon our concern for
the American manufacturer, the
American farmer and the American
consumer. We are acting to safeguard
and balance the interest of all—that
indeed in applying protective duties
or removing them we are acting with
full confidence of the rights of all
at home and abroad—-that we are act
ing for ‘America first!'”
HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.
When free-trade is working smooth
ly. unattended by war, then we find
the list of failures increasing. The
defaults for August were 673, with
liabilities amounting to more than
$28,000,000. These failures exceeded
in number those of any August since
1896, the closing year of our last free
trade period.
It was 24 years ago when the
apostle of protection, McKinley, came
to the rescue and restored confidence
as soon as elected, and restored pro
tection a few months after.
And now comes again the opportun
ity to elect a protectionist president
and with him a protectionist congress
and put an end to the avalanche of
competitive imports, failures and the
menace to laor and industry.
ADVANCEMENT IN MEXICO.
The Mexican government plans to
immediately construct thirty new
wireless stations at points along the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts and ex
tensive port works are planned at
Guayamas. Under a constructive
administration of its affairs, Mexico
can play a most important part in
world shpping, owing to its extensive
coast line on the Atlantic and on the
Pacific but above all because of the
fact that it can become one of the
world’s leaders in oil production. In
the year 1919 Mexican companies pro
duced 87,359,532 barrels of oil.
William Jennings Bryan has taken
offices on the sixth floor of the new
national headquarters building of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Wash
ington. Must want to be up where it’s
good and dry.
THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
A hard life sometimes brings in
easy money.
The grass widow makes hay wheth
er the sun shines or not.
Who can name off hand all the
presidents of Mexico since Diaz?
Women are more charitable than
men. What man could ever learn to
love a bald-headed woman?
Oftentimes a man thinks a woman
loves him when she is only doing it
to make some other woman jealous.
The person who dies without asking
to have his sins forgiven is, of course,
in grave danger of going to the hot
place.
After a man gets married he gets
peevish about his wife wanting to
spend money the way he did before
he got married.
When you get on the right track be
careful that someone else does not
get the right-of-way and come up
behind and butt you into the ditch.
We are careless of things that
come to us naturally. That may be
the rea'son some women take such
particular care of their complexions.
A man feels completely neglected
both at the wedding and when baby
arrives—but he may get some satisfac
tion from reflecting that those who go
into raptures over the wonderful
things done by delecate machinery
give little consideration to the fly
wheel, without which the engine that
operates the machinery could not run.

HAPPINESS
Happiness,” says a wise man, is a perfume which one cannot
shed upon another without a few drops falling upon himself.
Chas. N. Schwab is reported to have said “It is the doing of
something useful that has made me happy.” To enable a person
to look pleasant is to make hiiti happy,—To make his soiled linen
look clean and new at a small expense is to make this person happy
—To have a pleasant home with clean rugs, carpets, blankets,
linens—To save a wife or mother from hard and unnecessary
drudgery is to have a happy home.
It is for that reason the people engaged at Jones’ Laundry are
always happy, because they are daily doing something useful for
others, and are anxious to be of service. And you make them
happy when you call up Phone 66, the person who answers the
phone, the driver who calls at your door, the hard working people
who do the work.
