ROOSEVELT and NAPOLEON.

Hon. Edward NJ. Shepard in speech
made August 81, at Bennington, w.,
aroused a great deal of enthusiasm.
After quoting from ex-Gov. Blacks
eulogy of Theodore Roosevelt, he said:
"Was not Gov. Black right? For
did he not speak of President who
has declared his contempt for that
mock humanitarianism which would
prevent the great liberty-loving nations
of the world from going to war; who
despises, as he himself has told us,
the 'cloistered virtue which dare not
go down into the hurly-burly where
the men Of might contend?'
"Was he not speaking of President
who. in a hundred speeches, has talked
of the craven and the 'weakling and
the coward who babbles of peace who
has preached the just man armed as
his dearest gospel, who would have a
great army, although, as he said, we
do not need 1t in the least for police
purposes at home but because we need
to use it abroad; who, three years be-
fore our marauding venture at Pan
anna, declared that we must build the
Isthmian canal and must grasp the
points of vantage meaning that we
must violate the territory of another
nation; who has talked in season and
out Of season of the cant about lib
erty' and the consent of the governed
who, speaking as the Chief Magistrate
of a republic of law and order and
peace. which in it's men and resources
is the most powerful of nations, de-
clared that it's maxim should be,
Speak softly and carry big stick,
and who has Of late in plain terms
threatened our neighbors at the South
that unless-in their relations not with
the United States but with others, for
whom we are in NO way called upon
to act-they acted with decsncy in in
dustrial and political matters unless
they kept order and paid their obliga-
tion,' unless the governed themselves
WELL they might expect our forcible
intervention?
"Where is the parallel for utterances
like these by the ruler Of great coun-
try since Moscow and Waterloo
brought to an end the insolent addresses
of the first Napoleon to the monarchs
bf Europe and the terrified ENJOYS at
| his court?"

HleHER TARIFF TO ooFFSE1 CHEAPER
TRANSPORTATION.

The campaign book begins its dis.
cussion of the tariff question by show
Ing the necessity for increasing tariff.
or artificial protection, as natural pro-
tection," or the cost of transporting
goods from one country to another de-.
creases. 1t says that:
''The nations of the world have one
by one found it necessary to establish
tariff protection to take the place Of
that protection which distance and
high cost of transportation formerly
Afforded"
This demonstrates that in the minds
Of the "sta.d d-patters' the tariff is the
enemy of science and progress and that
1t is a great mistake to cheaper the
cost of transportation. And yet these
same Republicans boast of the fact
that they have authorized an expen-
diture of from 10000, 900 to S400 ,o0O.-
900 to construct the Panama Canal
Why? Is it simply to furnish them
with another excuse for jacking the
tariff up several points? Why spend
money to shorten water routes and
cheaper transportation costs, if we
must proceed promptly to Offset these
benefits by higher tariff duties?
These stand patters" belong to the
old school Of extreme protectionists " ho

fire and who were sorry that each
country was not separated from every
other country by impossible barriers
They show their Inconsistency and
lack Of faith in their own theories by
printing pages of statistics in their
campaign book to show the wonderful
growth Of our foreign commerce under
and in spite of Dingleyism.

JOHN BURKE, WHO ASSAULTED
TACOMA DRUGGIST, GETS SEM
TENCE OF IA YEARS.
He Pleaded Guilty to the Charge in
Superior Court at Tacoma
Saturday.

John Burke, the man who shot Siever
Larsen in Trommald's drug store at
Tacoma on the night of February II,
surprised all the officers who have been
connected with the case by entering
plea of guilty in Judge SHELLS depart
ment of the superior court. He re-
ceived a sentence of IA years in the
state penitentiary, the limit allowed by
the statute for assault with intent to
commit murder.
The reason that you do not get a
more severe sentence" said the court,
lis not because you do not deserve it.
You may thank a kind providence that
the life of your victim was spared"
Burke entered the drug store on Ia
coma avenue on the night Of February
II and as Larsen, who supposed that
Burke was a customer, advanced from
behind the counter Burke ordered him
to throw up his hands. Larsen Crap
pied with the highwayman, and was
almost Immediately shot through the
intestines. Larsen was so severely
wounded that his recovery is looked
upon as triumph of medical skill.
Immediately after the shooting Burke
ran out of the store, but was captured
a few hours later at a boarding house
where he had engaged a room. The
proprietor had noticed his entrance
shortly after the shooting and Burke
was arrested on suspicion In the
scuftie with Larsen, Burke had lost
his hat. He held up an Italian candy
peddler in Opera alley and robbed him
of his hat. The hat of the Italian was
found in Burkes' room and a revolver
was also found in his bed.
From the time of his arrest Burke
has maintained stolid silence with
reference to his crime, not having so
much as asked why he was arrested
Because of this fact the police assum-
ed that he was an experienced crimi-
nal and was preparing for defense,
reyling upon being released because
of the insufficiency of the evidence
His plea of guilty is thought to have
been due to the fact that he was posi-
lively identified by Larsen when the
latter was thought to be on his death
bed. and to have been induced by the
hope that he would receive the elem
ency of the court.
While waiting for his arraignment in
court Saturday Burke consulted with
his attorney, c. NJ. Riddell, and it was
through the attorney that he made his
plea of guilty. Who Burke is and
what his history has been is not
known to the police. He declines to tell
anything about himself

Planters Compress Cases.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. May 9.-The in
Memphis today for the purpose Of
continuing the hearing of the case Of
the Planters Compress company. in
which a number of the largest vail
road corporations in the United States
are the defendants. Included among
the defendant roads are the Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan Central. Southern,
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Missouri
Pacific. Louisville & Nashville, Illinois
Central. Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton, Nashville, Chattanooga & St
Louis. Yazoo & Mississippi Valley,
and Big Four.
The suit was instituted some time
ago and originated in a demand of the
Compress company on the defendant
railroads for the differential of 10 cents
d bale in favor of the round bale as
against the rectangular bale. The rail-
roads, it is understood. recognized the
demand of the Compress company to
the extent of making an allowance Of
10 cents a bale, or the cost of COM
pressing a rectangular bale, but a fur
Their reduction is insisted upon.
The outcome Of the issues involved
are awaited with much interest not
solely because of the money directly
involved but because of the rivalry ex-
listing between the round bale and the
square bale compress companies.

in the next Legislature, while but one
of the loyal members was permitted to
be named as his own successor.
Mr.. Piles Switches.
Mr. Piles inaugurated his senatorial
candidacy by proclaiming war upon
the breakers of promises He even
went so far as to declare that if it be-
came necessary he would take the
stump against the disIoval members
and hunt them down in their own
homes as enemies to the county and
to himself. These representations won
him widespread approval and indorse-
whose sense of political decency had
been outraged by the manner in which
defeat was melted out to Preston. But
some time in April he experienced a
change of heart. The first evidence of
it was the announcement of an aIi-
ance with Senator J. J. Smith under
the terms OF Wnlcn smith Withdrew
from the race for governor and was in
return given charge of the Piles fight
in the FOrtieth legislative district,
with the privilege of naming the sher-
if of King county and the three legfs-
lative candidates in that district. This
deal aroused a storm of protest so
tempestuous that Piles was forced to
deny it, though he has since carried it
out
Another Surrender of Principle.
The next surrender of principle for
the promise of votes came when the
Piles managers entered into negotia-
tons with the other disloyal senators
to secure their support These negotia-
lions lasted for several DAYS and
ended in an agreement that Piles
Should have the promise of the votes
or the senators if he would not make
the mistake of expecting them to keep
the promise. AS a part consideration
IN this agreement Mr.. Piles admitted
the senators to a large share in the

Answer to Prayer

Considerable fun is being poked at minister of the
gospel in Massachusetts who declares that he is in the
enjoyment of great material prosperity in answer to
prayer
He poor the proverbal mouse that lived in
church
Then he prayed strenously for home and for things
to eat and wear and money educate his children.
That was few years ago and he kept on praying. AS
in tidal wave He has home and horses and cattle and
money.
Well
His claim is doubtless true and there may be nothing
supernatural about it, The answer to his prayers may
have come about in a logical and natural manner.
"Prayer the souls sincere desire, unutered or ex
pressed" says the poet
To earnestly desire thing is half the battle Of getting
it. Men usually get what they ardently wish for. The
desire puts them position to after the thing desired
When strong desire is joined to perfect faith almost
anything is possible. He who wants something and be-
lieves with all his heart that he will get goes after that
something nvincibly.
The law is a natural one.
History has demonstrated its inevitable working.
Read the long list of the great of earth They
have been-every one of the-men of strong desire and
conquering faith. ,
