l owe the people Is to reduce taxation to the necessary expenses of an econom. ical operation of the Government, and | to restore to the business of the country the money which we hold In the treasury through the perversion of governmental powers. These things can and should be done with safety to all our industries, without danger to tbe opportunity for remunerative labor
 which our workmen need. and with
 benefit to them and to all our people by cheapening the means of subsis-
 tence and increasing the measure of their comforts.
 It Is needless to quote further from his message to show how he stood.
 With that wonderful provision for
 which he is noted he foresaw the evils
 which would surely follow an adher-
 ence to the Republican tariff system
 and used his utmost influence to get
 ths Democracy to enact a wise and just
 tariff measure, always with due regard
 to American interests. To call the
 author of that message free trader is to cast a reflection on the intelii-
 gence of the American people. Are the voters of Connecticut so benighted
 as to believe such statements?

An Image of Christ.

Worn by the hand of time into the im- age of a human face whose features are those generally accepted as the likeness of Christ the most famous piece of lime stone in the world is now in Louisville
 It Is also probably the most precious stone of It's size in existence. It Is secured from damage by an insurance policy of $25.000
 The stone Is known as the Christ curio" and was picked up on the mountains of Oberammergau. Switzerland, by Mrs. Flu genia Jones' Bacon. the Atlanta author. In certain light the stone appears a common piece of limestone. but with the right angle the face appears In one angle the eyes are closed and the mouth gasping. if in death. and when the angle is changed the features change to the open-eyed generous face associated with the likeness of Jesus Christ. It is carried in purple plush case and Mrs Jones Bacon carries it in chamos reticule worn beneath her skirts

Turbine Steamers for the Future.

Some remarkable records recently made by "autoboats''-notably the de- feat in race across the English Chan mel of fast turbine steamer by a lit- tie forty-foot motor boat-led by an English expert S. F. Edge to predict that the new engine borrowed from the motor car will take the place of the steam engine even for larger vessels. He expects, indeed, to see the twenty odd miles between France and England covered in as many minutes. The gaso- line motor is already proving popular in Europe for small craft of practical sort, Denmark having flotilla of over three hundred boats of this type.

A GREAT QUESTION.
The Bullock County Breeze very per. tinently asks:

The Bullock County Breeze very per- tinently asks:
 What will the harvest be when all the better class of white people move away from the country into the towns ana cities? Devastation and desola- tion.
 The Breeze may well ask that ques- tion, for the harvest must a gathered at some time in the near future. In fact, 1t is even now being reaped In suit Is seen in run-down farms, di- lapidated houses. and in many cases swarms of shiftless negroes. As each white family leaves a neighborhood in the black belt of Alabama the condi- tions become more unbearable for those who remain and they, too, must follow suit eventually or continue to live under conditions which are not pleas ant or safe for the family. Some Of the very best portions of the State are thus going virtually to ruin and desolation. Farms which were in form CT times both the pride and the wealth Of their owners, on which were mag
 
 CTS lived lives of plenty. honor and in- dependence, are now little better than mournful wrecks of what they once were.
 Is there no remedy for this unfor- tunate and undesirable condition? r piled? It is useless, apparently, to ex- pect white immigrants to come unless they can come as colonies. small though they be, so as to form com munities of their own. No white man with family wants to buy or rent a home where he will have no white neighbors. where his family will have no society, and where they will be de- prived of all pleasant associations as well as of the blessings of schools, churches and other privileges and pleasures of life. If a white man does make his home amid such surround ings 1t Is either because he is ignorant of the conditions, or can do no better, or cares nothing for civilized life and the pleasures and refining influences of good people.
 The only remedy, as we view 1t, Is for tracts of land to be set apart large enough to provide comfortable homes for a dozen or score of families, or as many more as can be induced to come. contiguous to each other where all may have congeiial neighbors, and | where they may have schools, churches and all the other accessories of good | citizenship. It is a mistake to suppose | that immigrants desire or will demand large farms, for that Is not the case. Very large farms tend to produce the very isolation which prospective homeseekers are so desirous to avoid. Especially is this the case with for eigners, who are not only accustomed to small holdings, but are also accus- toned to life where there is no lack of neighbors and of society which Is congenial to them. To them a home removed from any of their kind would b. unbearable, and we can not expect | them to either seek or accept such. In our judgment. if the waste places are ever to be built up 1t must be done through d system of colonization

TALK OF CROSS.
COUNTRY RIDING
WOULD AROUSE
GENERAL LOCAL INTEREST.
II Successful, Plans May Result in the
Ultimate Establishment of a Per-
manent Hunt Club, With a Pack,
in Minneapolis Topography Of the
Territory Favorable.

Equestrians Of Minneapolis are at
tempting, or rather considering an at
tempt at reviving local interest in
cross-country riding. This form of sport
mas been neglected in Minnesota for
several years. There are no regular
packs maintained by hunt clubs in the
state, and cross-country mounts have
not been in demand in the local mar
kets for several years. NotWithstand-
ing these facts, there are number Of
enthusiastic lovers Of the horse in Min
neapolis who own hunters, and it is
rumored that these have Of late dis
cussed the question of starting cross
country riding this fall.
The plans Of the riders will call for
the ultimate establishment of pack
and the pursuit Of an anise-seed bag,
but paper chase will probably form
the trail for the riders at first. If
this proves successful it will lead to
the establishment of kennel and a
regular hunt program.
While no permanent territory has
been secured, it is not unlikely that
what riding is done this fall will be
across the country to the northeast of
the city, where the ground is suffl-
GENTLY broken to afford good reaches,
stiff jumps, with not few water leaps.
While no announcement has been
made as to plans, every indication
points to rapid growth in cross-coun-
try riding in the territory adjacent to
Minneapolis within the next year or
| two.

ARMY FOUND HIM A HOME
SALVATIONISTS HAD JUST THE
PLACE FOR ERNEST DETER, A
15-YEAR-OLD WANDERER.

Ernest Deter, Is years old, an or
phan and a vagrant, who has trav-
eled nearly 5000 miles in search of a
home, found one this morning when
he pleaded guilty to a. charge of va
grancy in police court An hour later
he was seated in a farm wagon on
his way to a pleasant home in the
country where he will learn farming
according to the old school methods.
When picked up by the police yes
terday afternoon the boy was ex-
hausted from his long journey and
lack Of proper food. He said he for
merly lived in a small town near De-
troit, Mich, and that his father and
mother both died within the last
year. He travelled about his state on
the bumpers, stopping in all the small
towns to look for work. Everywhere
he was looked upon with suspicion
because he was on the tramp and
often was told to get out of town. He
then went to Chicago, where he could
get nothing to do, and nearly starved.

PROOF OF MURDER
A Significant Rent Found in Ruth
YeachOut,S Waist

More evidence to. substantiate the
murder theory in the Ruth Teachout
case was discovered by the murdered
girls mother yesterday while looking
over the clothing her daughter wore
the day she met her death. The silk
ribbon with which she was strangled
is now believed to have been violently
torn from her neck, as the back Of her
waist is torn where the ribbon had
been pinned to it.
Mrs. Teachout was given the clothes
Of her daughter yesterday and was
looking them over carefully when she
noticed the tear in the back Of the
waist. She says she is positive that
had Ruth committed suicide she
would have taken the pin out before
she attempted to strangle herself.
The tear shows plainly that the rib
bon was .jerked out probably in the
struggle with her assailant,
Mrs Teachout reported her dis
covery to the police and another effort
will be made to learn the identity of
the man who was with Ruth Teachout
on the day of her death. Nothing
new has been learned concerning him
and the police say they are as much
at sea as ever.

led to Greener's capture. Marquis is
awaiting examination.
Marquis men, formed one of the
most thoroly organized gangs of
thieves that ever worked In Mime
apolis. The police believe their
operations have continued for several
years. They never made heavy hauls
but did small jobs frequently enough
to make a good living. For this rea-
son it was hard to catch them with
the goods. They attempted too heavy
