The Irony of Fate.

She goes out TO the races,
And the man he maketh fun
When she tries TO air her knowledge
OF the way the horses run.
She knows but very little
OF forms or handicaps;
And she hates 10 trust her money
With those reckless betting chaps.
And the man he loseth money
And is covered DER with shame.
And the girl she picked the winner
Cause she liked the horses name.

Survivors of 1912.
the Editor CT The Evening Star:

To the Editor CT The Evening Star
Mr.. c. b. Rodrick in his attempt to cor
rect an error concerning the last survivors
OF the war of 1912 has himself fallen into
an error. He states that his father, Lewis
Rodrick of Frederick county, Md, was In
said war; that he was born January 10.
1895, and lived until May H. 1879, ten years
later than Mr. Brakeman, the veteran men,
toned in the preceding article. 1 beg leave
to state that Mr.. Enos Ray, for many years
well-known and respected citizens Of
BrightwOod, in the District OF Columbia,
was also a veteran OF the war Of 1872. He
was born in 1892 and lived until April g.
1881, thus surviving both Mr.. Rodrick and
Mr.. Brakeman. GRANDSON.
To the Editor Of The Evening Start
The letter in Wednesdays Star signed by
G. b. ROdrick enormously refers to Daniel
F. Brakeman as a survivor of the war Of
1872. The article published Saturday to
which Mr.. Rodrick refers named Brakeman
as a revolutionary survivor. At the time Of
the death of Mr.. Rodrick's father, August
GUS parts OF the country. The last sur
vivors In this section were John Lumberson
and James Hooper OF Baltimore, both of
whom died in the spring OF 1898. The final
history OF those who Outlived Lumberson
and Hooper Is recorded in the annual re-
port Of the commissioner OF pensions for
1889 as follows:
''At the close Of the fiscal year 1893 there
were three survivors Of the war OF 1879:

ers, has prepared a petition which will be
presented to Judge c. E. Nicol Of the cir
cult court Of this city at an early date ask
ing for mandamus compelling the city
council to appropriate the sum Of $500 for
the purpose of maintaining and paying the
operating expenses of the board Of police
commissioners. The petition will be filed
in a few days. 1t is set forth in the paper
that the board was created by the legisla-
ture at the request of the city council, and
though the latter body has been requested
by the commissioners to appropriate money
to maintain the board, as in the case of
other departments of the municipal govern
ment council has refused to do so. The
petition is the outcome of council refusing
to pay fees incurred by the commissioners
in the injunction proceedings between the
board and Mayor Simpson.

of forming a permanent organization with
a view Of having the ter-centenary marking

Hard to Be Candid.

The very men who raise this
issue are the men who have found
fault so strenuously in the past with
those who have favored a protective
tariff, because the farmers had no part
nor lot in it. 1t was in response to
this complaint that duty was placed
upon beef cattle, the product of the
American farm. Now that what they
complained of for not being done has
been done, these same complainers
are raising howl and saying the duty
on cattle and beef is the foundation
of the beef trust. 1t is so hard for
some people to be candid when dis

affects the living of so many of the

GOUGlNG THE FARMERS.
Effect Of Repeating Duties on Cattle
and Meats.

A contemporary which is somewhat
given to ejaculatory utterance advises
as a means of regulating the Beef
Trust the removal of all tariff duties
on foreign foods" This is simply a
proposition to subject the farmer to
whatever higher price the protective
tariff system may impose on the things
he consumes, and expose him to low
free trade prices on things he pro-
duces. The Beef Trust is but one of
many trusts, the purpose of which is
to obtain higher prices for their prod
ucts than could be obtained under
free competition. When the farmer
buys wire to fence in his fields with
he contributes to the profits of trust.
When he buys pillow he contributes
| to the profits of another trust. When
he buys salt for his cattle he pays
twice as much as he would If there
were no combination to fix an artificial
price on that necessary article of hui
man and animal consumption. But
when the farmer has beef to sell our
! free trade contemporary says the
price must be regulated by the cost
of producing beef in other countries.
Possibly our contemporary would
advocate like remedy for the regula-
ton of trusts engaged in the manufac-
ture of wire, plows and salt. That,
however, involves free trade. 1t
would be impossible to repeal the du-
ties on goods made by trusts and to
maintain duties on goods in the pro-
duction of which the hand of the
trust is not easily traced. Absolute
free trade means internal revenue
taxes of about double the rates at
present collected. Nearly one-half of
our federal revenue comes through the
custom houses, and if that is sacri-
feed the tax on home industries must
be nearly or quite doubled. Under
such conditions the export of manu-
featured goods would cease. Foreign
goods would be imported at less than
the cost of home production with in
ternal revenue taxes added to the nat
ural cost Instead of finding new mar
kets for our manufactured goods, we
should lose the markets we have
