Il noticed that this morning and

been under a severe strain for weeks
and possibly the change OF climate
doesn't agree with him. I'm going to
send him into the country for few

ton, according to Bailey. does that.
and hence protection Is robbery
That being the case. what becomes
of the altitude OF Bailey No |? VIII
the Democratic party continue this
perversion. this downright robbery. so
as 10 afford protection to American
manufacturers against their foreign
competitors? II cannot do this. Bailey
contends. without compelling the
American citizen to pay more" etc.
without sanctioning and perpetuating
n downright robbery" No; that is
not what the Democratic party will do
when 1t gets the power to do any
thing with the tariff. 1t will recast
the tariff on purely revenue lines and
eliminate protection robbery. 1t will
reverse the existing order OF things.
1t will levy tariff on articles which
we do not ourselves produce. 1t will
levy no tariff, or. at most. a very low
tariff. on articles of competitive
character. because 1t will not do to
levy a tariff on such articles that will
compel our people to pay more" etc
That is exactly what Bailey No.
means and intends. 1t is what the
Democratic party means and intends.
Obviously the conservative curve
taken by Bailey No. 2 was an after
thought. Bailey No. 1 forgot himself
and was too radical. Bailey No. 2
toned him down. Which of the Baileys
is the real thing? No. l, we feel sure;
the Bailey that regards protection as
robbery, condition to be endured
only until 1t can be replaced by
Democratic tariff that will raise the
maximum of revenue with the mini
mum of protection. When the Sena-
tor from Texas gets through founder
ing and straddling on the tariff ques-
ton, when there is no longer any
danger of frightening business votes
away, then he will stand undisguised
as Bailey No. 1. Bailey the free trader.

TOOK WOMAN FROM HAREM.
Abduction Case Has Caused Sensation


in Cairo, Egypt.
A sensational abduction case involv-
ing lineal descendant of the proph-
ct Mohammed and a pair of real Arab
sheiks is reported from Cairo, in
Egypt Sheik Ali Joussef fell in love
with the daughter of Sheik ell Saddat-
The girls father. who is said to be the
sole living descendant of the prophet
Mohammed, refused his consent to the
marriage. as he did not think Ali Jous-
set was a fit person to be the bus
band of girl of such noble lineage.
Ali Joussef, however. abducted the
girl and placed her in his harem.
Her father appealed to the Egyptian
government, with the result that de
tachment of armed police was dis
patched to Ali Joussef's harem. The
police made forcible entry to the
premises and, in order to be sure that
they had taken possession of the per-
son wanted. they ordered all the fair
denizens of the harem to follow them
in yelled procession to the house of
Sheik ell Saddat, where his daughter
was finally selected from the rest Of
the women and detained.
Ali Jousself has now, 1t is said, be-
gun proceedings before the British au-
thorities. and has obtained the serv-
ices of an English lawyer.

rendered him by the national Demo
cratic convention. has been made pub
lie. In the document he reiterates his
belief in the gold standard and ex-
presses appreciation of the action OF
the convention on the subject
The Judge points out what he con-
siders the dangers in the centralizing
OF power in the national government,
and takes strong ground against the
so-called policy of Imperialism.
Tariff reform is declared to be one
of the cardinal principles of the Dem
ocratic party and its necessity at this
time great. The Dingley tariff law.
the Judge asserts. is unjust and OPP
pressive and properly named the
Mother of Trusts" He commits the
party to a change in tariff rates in
the event of Democratic victory In
November. reasserting his belief that
the Republican senate will be unable
to prevent 1t.
Though disproved by official statis-
tics the charge is made that the cost
of living has increased far beyond ad-
vance in wages. and for this condition
the rapacity of the trusts fostered
by the DingIey tariff, is held to blame.
On the subject of the trusts the
document deals only in gcneralities.

Gates such measures of freedom as
the Cubans enjoy" but not until 1t

The Republican policy of the re-
clamation of arid lands in the West
is Endorsed.
Immediate building of the Panama
canal is urged. though the document
criticises the unjust methods" by
which 1t is alleged the United States
secured the route and rights.
A policy favorable to the building
up of an American merchant marine
is advocated. though the methods by
which this should be done are not
mentioned. The granting of subsidies
for the purpose is denounced.
Judge Parker promises, in the event
of the election of a Democratic execu-
tive and Congress, full investigation
of all government departments.
Liberal pension laws. he declares
are simply acts of justice. President
Roosevelt's action in promulgating
