Another tragedy from the old
Candy store" building came to light
this morning with the removal Of the
principal actor to Cooks Hospital.
The victim is Maud Jones, formerly
head waitress at the Manley Hotel
and subsequently a waitress in the
Marion Hotel and other hotels In the
city. Maud has got down on her luck
lately, and taken to drinking and
doping a good deal. She has lived
with different friends about town.,
changing her location frequently. The
past few days, however, she has
staked out a claim in the quarters of
Mrs. e. F. Riggs in the old Candy.
store" building at the corner Of Jack
son and Barney streets. Mrs: Riggs,
by the way; is the mother of.Ternie
Davis the boy who was tried at The
present term of court for attempting
to run a street car off the track at
Coal run. Mrs. Nellie Yates lives
Just across the hall from Mrs. Riggs,
and on these two women's hospitality
Maud Jones settled herself and op,
posed all attempts to dislodge her,
though "to tell the TRUTH" as Mrs.
Riggs says, "she wasn't bad com.
pany,' and no very serious efforts
were made to get rid Of her.

@ Since the assets of the Republic are
practically and almost entirely in the
hands Of foreigners, engaged in the
conduct Of large plantations and the
export Of their products, any attempt
at direct internal taxation would only
precipitate more protests. while a
per capita tax would not raise enough
cash to pay forIits collection from the
poyerished natives.
For these reasons, officials Of this
government believe that the only
possible solution Of the difficulties Is
for the United States to assume at
least a temporary protectorate over
the Republic, sraighten out her at.
fairs, internal and foreign and arrange
some scheme by which her debts may
be- eventually paid through growing
prosperity and the assurance of sta,

at this 4juncture. both Secretary Hay
and Assistant Secretary Loomis, the

TARKF REVISION.

The trend OF ODinIon demanding tar
in revision and reciprocity treaties
within the republican party, l. be-
coming more pronounced Iowa and
other states in the northwest have
urged the measure, and recently the
state republican convention Of Mass
achusetts in their platform declared
unanimously in favor Of the policy
This is not a departure from the
policy Of the party for reciprocity
treaties have been a feature OF tariff
enactments in the past And, both
President Mckinley. before his death,
and President Roosevelt since then,
have favored tariff revision whenever
It becomes apparent that any indus
try no longer needs protection, and
when change Of trade conditions re-
quire a change in tariff schedules.
Conditions have certainly and evil
IDENTIFY changed in the last decade.
The nation has OutgrOwn the home
market and now requires an extensive
enlargement Of its foreign markets for
manufactured articles Why should
England, Germany and France get
more OF the trade Of Mexico. Central
American and South American states
than the United States? New Eng
land asks reciprocity with Canada
The northwestern states are equally
interested in this matter. Canada and
Mexico are our next-dOOr neighbOrs,
and, il tariff bars are a hindrance to
the extension of our foreign trade,
such hindrances should be removed
Our position as to the extension Of
trade in the Orient has been changed
materially since the acquisition Of
Hawaii and the Philippines, and
change Of conditions reasonably re-
quires a corresponding change in the
tariff. Japan will soon be an active
and strenuous competitor with the
United States for the trade Of the
Orient Especially should all tariffs
against the Philippines be repealed
This nation has undertaken the bet

The longtime beneficfaries of the

wisdom and loyalty. John Wesley,
