THE IDLER'LOSES OUT. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin, says: "Society is unconsciously working toward i system of compulsory labor by mak ing the idler and parasite a less and ess popular figure." Here Dr.

Frank points out one of the fundamental principles of American security and prosperity. Up to the coming into being ot America, wealth was always regarded not as the means toward progress or improvement, but simply the agency by which the possessor could live luxuriously and prodigally without working, at the expense of others. This attitude caused the fall of Rome and the great powers of that period; in France it resulted in the Revolution. In our own time it has been strikingly exemplified in Russia. Here, in America, there should be no danger of Bolshevism for the sim- le reason that the rich man works list as hard as.

and often harder than the man who has no capital but his hands. He uses his wealth to promote preat industries and centralize business, with the subsequent improvement and well-being of all. In short, his money is to him the means to a very certain end: ultimate perfection of his product or WELLSB6RO AND YIOMTYNEWS TOE AGITATOR: WELUffiORO. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21.

And one of the greatest factors is what Dr. Frank speaks of, the discouragement of slothfulness and the tendency of wealth to use itself for the good of all. Our Tariff Again. In a recent speech at Allentown, Pennsylvania, Secretary of Labor Davis declared that the American protective tariff is the bulwark between the American workingman and idleness and is the chief factor in this country's prosperity. "What would you rather have, ne asked, "the men of Europe doing the work, or the men of the Vir" States? If we had no tariff the tories of other countries would and ours would have to be We must think in terms of tea." Here is the tariff situati; affects the workingman in It is not a question of re wages but of facing a loss the soup kitchen or Eventually if free trade tinued, it might be possible for manufacturing to be resumed in America on the basis of European wages and European conditions.

But nobody in America wants such wages paid or such living conditions endured. And first at any rate would come idleness in the factories and general 8ta the'farmer is directly interested too. Lowering the tariff would not help him because he is now paying no tariff on commodities used exclusively by himself. It would hurt him both directly and indirectly. Indirectly because his great home market for provisions would be destroyed and directly because he would face competition in certain agricultural commodities from Cuba, from Mexico, from China, from Canada, from South America and Spam and IU A 7 nd the farmer knows He realizes it in the South and in the Southwest as well as in the North and Northwest.

That is why the tariff is no longer regarded as a sectional issue. Growers Florida and Texas need it as well as the farmers of Minnesota and Colorado.
