PROTECTION Naturally, the leading
instrumentation of the Protectionlsts
have been addressed to the wage earners.
They are recognized by the protected
monopolisis as logically hostile to the
system which robs them in order that
dividends may be increased. The de
tenders and advocates OF protection have
thoroughly understood that the working
men must be fooled into believing that
protection benefits them, for they know
that if the wage earners voted in their
own behalf the system under which they
have been robbed for so many years
would have to 90. 1t has been the bust
ness, therefore, of the ingenious schemers
to make it appear that labor is better OIL
by reason of the taxes which II has i'm
posed upon itself in aid OF the manufac-
lurers.-New York Times.

The Brown Guards, of Morgan

few days. They were refused ad-
mission sometime ago for the reason
that there were too many organiZa-

they were not discouraged, they uni
formed and equipped themselves and
only asked the privilege to become n

Romance of Thurman's Ban
dana.

The Thurman bandana, the hand
kerchief which is likely to figure .ex-
teusively in the coming campaign,
has its own romance. In 1924. when
Thurman was eleven years old, there
arrived in Chillicothe an erratic but
accomplished French migrant, Emil
Gregorie, who subsequently became
known as the professor" he had
been intended for the Catholic priest
hood, but while in his studies for ho-
ly orders he fell desperately in love
with young girl below him in social
standing Against the entreaties of
his friends he abandoned all thoughts
of the priesthood and finally married
the girl. He had means, and under
the advice of American agents in
Paris he concluded to invest in West
Virginia lands. Like the Inflated
in the Ohio river, he thought to es-'a
tablish an Oriental paradise to the
West. His young wife gave birth to
a daughter and died. Taking the
child, the grief-stricken father named
it Virginie, and came with it to found
home in the new world. When he
found his lands were an unbroken
wilderness his disappointment knew
no bounds. He wandered about the
savage border lands of the West un- q
til he reached Chillicothe, where he
found employment as a teacher of
French. ,i.-
Mrs. Thurman, Aliens mother,
heard of him and his ability. and took
care of the child in exchange for
French lessons for her son. The
grateful Partisan gave young Thur
man the most assidious attention, but
among other accomplishments taught
him the habit of taking snuff, and the
French use of "the handkerchief"
At first Thurman could speak no
French and Virginie no English. But
they soon acquired vocabulary of
common phrases, and became con-
slant companions and firm friends
Thurman's first grief came when NJ.
go to Louisiana, then province of
Spain. Much to the regret of both
the young people, he accepted the .
invitation, and left Chillicothe for
"1he Spanish Territory" For a
while Thurman was disconsolate, and
even gave up" snuff" But on COM
ing to Congress afterwards he found
tue habit prevailing with snuff" on
the congressional free list, and so he
fell into the habit again. Formerly
