American Tariffs Hit a Snag in Cuba
The American tariff schedules,
which have so generously protected
the big interests and which have giv
en them vast weajth by such protec
tion, seem to be sailing among rocks
down in Cuba.
Our policy, which has prohibited
by a high tariff wall all goods from
other countries thai we could produce
ourselves, and at the same time at
tempts to, force the same countries to
receive our goods into their, coun
tries free, is causing a kick which we
Lowering the Standards
Why do newspaper writers use so
many curse words? The constant
habit of many newspaper writers now
seems to be a lowering of the moral
tone*and adopting the spirit of
bravado. It can not be for (Mtpulari
ty, because there yet exists a taste
for decency and culture, even
are many people who curse, and even
some women have drop|>ed low
enough down the hill to think it is
"pretty" to curse.
Any person with sufficient capacity
to write can not claim ignorance of
the fact that it is indent to curse
anywhere at any time.

No-Fence Law Proves a Success
Those farmers who were so bit
ter against the no-fence law, which
was passed by the legislature a few
years ago, many of who predicted
starvation, have nearly all changed
their minds; and they are now ad
mitting that they just did not under- |
stand. Reports indicate that farm-,
ers have raised and killed more meat
this season than they ever raised in,'
