Underwood Tariff.
Congressman A. G. Allen ot the
second Ohio district is reported to have
made the following interesting state
ment relative to the Underwood tariff
act:
"During the first seven months of
1914 the Underwood act produced
$232,000,000, and during the same pe
riod of 1913 the Payne-Aldrich act
turned into the treasury $218,000,000.
In other words the Underwood act
produced $14,000,000 more thn the
Payne-Aldrich act.

Theodore Roosevelt He then proceed
ed very tactifully to eliminate Hughes,
lenvinir only Roosevelt in the field.
Past experience teaches us that it
takes very little persuasion to con
vince the colonel that he is the only
man who can acceptably fill the Tres
idential office. He likes to pose as the
"white hone" and to project himself on
the Screen an avowed candidate for
President.
It will be remembered thax news
from Oyster Bay December 19 was to
the effect that Roosevelt would sup
port for the Presidency either Hughes
Knox, or Hadley. The colonel knew
that Knox and Hadley were impossible
and the chances were that Hughes
tvcufil not quit his job to run rgainst
Wilson. Taking a turn around the
circle there was only Roosevelt left
and it is a matter of history that the
Colonel is always for Roosevelt first

M irion 1 Sutler, so the news conies, is
to return to North Carolina. Today we
carry an article from our Washington
correspondent telling that some un
known syndicate has offered the state
of Missouri a batch of the old fraudu
lent repudiated bonds of North Caro
lina. It is only the liiuior (piestioH
which ii now absent at this writing to
return to the campaign of a few years
ago when for the Republicans it was a
in which the slogan o-f "Ihitler,
Ronds, and Booze" hit of the hituat ion
to a dot.
1 Sutler, it appears, we are to have
with us. Without doubt he proposes
to be the leailcr of the Republican par
ty. The offer of the fraud bonds to
Missouri shows that there is an under-
cum nt of rascality of some kind at!
work, that again there is being an ef
fort to harness the State of North
Carolina. And it is not going to be
forgotten that the last attempt of the
kind was made with Marion Hutler as
on of the coterie linked up in repudi
ated bond matters.
Governor Major of Missouri, one of
a board of three which is to pass upon
the matter of the gift to Missouri of
the repudiated North Carolina bonds,
opposed to having Missouri accept
rlbe bonds. The attitude of the other
members of the board is not known,
but we are of the opinion that when,'
thev understand the nature of the
bonds, and learn of the purpose be
hind the offer to Missouri, that they
will refuse to be the catspaw
endeavor to pull chestnuts out
fire for someone else.
But North Carolina must be wat
ful of its rights. The return of M
ion Butler to the state is not an om
of good for it. And when on top
the news of his coming there is ncV;
of another attempt to get at the state
through a big batch of repudiated
bonds the coincidence is even more
than passing strange. Think of it!
Marion Butler-and then those repudi
ated bonds bob up again. News &
