Referring to recent editorial in The Advertiser on the subject of Presiden- tiaI candidates. The Muskcgee q. ID Times Democrat says:
 It is idle nonsense to construe the growing sentiment in the South of her right to furnish a presidential candi- date as opposition to the candidacy of w J. Bryan. Unless there is radical change in the sentiment of the Demo- cracy of the country at large before the National Democratic Convention acts, MT. Bryan seems sure of the nomi- nation. But 1t is high time for the South to begin It's campaign for recog- nition in the future. We dare say that MT. Bryan himself will admit this fact without hesitation.

ton for competition. A high tariff then is war against every cardinal principle of Democracy.
 A high tsriff is cold -blooded scheme to give manufacturers an ap- palling profit The spacious doctrine Is taught in It's support that the nanu- lecturers will divide his profits with his workmen. The money is given to the manufacturer and he is supposed to be under moral obligation to divide it with his workmsn And the producer of his raw material. Does he do it7 Not if he knows himself.
 The Republican party gives the manu- facturer an umbrellas and tells him to hold It over himself and the workmen The manufacturer walks through the rain dry enough. but the workman takes his chance with the elements No matter how big the umbrella Is, Il is never large enough to cover half. : unfortunate predictament of the con- sumer For him there no place in tie high tariff mans scheme of thing. The consumer Is the rcd headed step child in the happy family of Republic canism. The best he gets is the Ieav- ings
 The consumer too, Is the vital eie- ment in the tariff question. He pays the tariff; he pays for the umbrella and himself walks in the rain. The consumer twice elected Democratic President. The consumer will elect an- other Democratic President when he be- lieves that Democracy has quit chasing phantoms and shows its earnest inten- tion to abolish the high tariff and es- tabiish equal rights for all

THE INCREASED COST OF LIVING

THE INCREASED COST OF LIVING.
 Fix governor William L. Douglas of Massachusetts says that the tariff is responsible for at least twenty per cent of the increased cost or living and he proves it in a thzee column article in The New York World. Three columns of space Is too rnuch to take up in the proving of a self evident truth.
 That the tariff is the mother of the political maxim often uttered and always believed. That any country which does business under a high pro- tective tariff. compels its citizens to pay more for living than is demanded from the citizens of other countries is admitted as readily.
 The high. protective tariff is the most un- American doctrine that any party ever engrafted into our Government. For this the Republican party Is respon- ible. The greatest folly that a party was ever guilty of was the failure of the Democratic party. to remove the incubus when that party was in power For the continuance of the high tariff, as a governmental policy the traitors within the Democratic party are re- sponsible. And the historic old party never sustained a deadlier blow. than 1t did, when it was knifed in the car rying out of the pledges of the plat form.
 The Democratic party has never won victory since the war except upon the tariff issue It will never win another until the tariff is brought to the front and held there. The country knows that if ever relief comes from the op- pression of the tariff, if ever the up ward trend of living expenses are stop ped they will ba stopped by the Demo- cartic party.
 But as long as the DemoWats camp today where the Republicans camped yesterday. as long as Democracy dresses In the cast off clothes of Ropublicanism, as long as Bryan trails behind Roose- welt, so long will Democracy sit without the gate and mourn for the things that are not.
 A high tariff means special privi- leges. A high tariff means strangula-

VALUABLE CHINESE LOOT.
A. E. Cham0t Get Property at Pekin
 Worth S7O,OOO

Worth $7O,OOO.
 San Francisco. Oct, 3-Seventy thousand dollars is the value placed by A. E. Chamot upon a collection of curios acquired" by him at Pekin, Chine about the time that the allied troops entered the Chinese capital to protect the foreign residents.
 This came out before bankruptcy referee Green yesterday during the ex- animation of Chamot by the attorney for the creditors of the Peters Machine Company. of which Chamot is rart, and which failed for s20,000.
 That Chamot's estimate of the value of the Chinese lot was not too high was evidenced by his admission that he haa sold part of the collection in New York for $35,00O. Including in this lot was a jewel studded cup, said to have be- longed to the Dowager Empress and valued at $5,000. The remainder of the curios consisted of three panels and a screen. which Chamot said were now being offered for sale at the upset price of $35.000: they being heavily encrusted with jade and gems.
 At the time of the Boxer uprising Chamot kept hotel In Pekin. For the burning of the building by the rebels. the French Government obtained for Chamot from the Chinese Government an indemnity of $2o0.000.

The cadets of the New Mexico Mil
| ftary Institute played their last game
for the year 19O6-1907 yesterday after
noon at Amusement Park. Albuquer-
que put up the opposition, and the
ball tossers from the Duke City won
in a regular slaughter, shutting out
the plucky boys from North Hill by
t;ae score of IL to 0. 1t was hard for
the cadets to go down in defeat in
their last game before the close OF
school: but it was as hard for their
staunch supporters. who filled many
an anxious seat in the grand stand
and bleachers. But when the boys
lost. they lost right.
the explanation of the result is
easy. The visitors landed on the ball
from start to finish. HeSter's curves
were plain as an open book to the
mighty batters in the brown suits
md they touched the captain up TO.
sixteen hits. three of them home
rms and five more two-baggers-
There was a total of seven balls
knocked over the oiut-field fence. All
this hitting naturally put the players
off tsleir metal and they helped make
the score bigger with eight errors.
Then, while they were batting hard
one half-mning, the visitors played
in the field just as hard the next
icy mad but three errors throughout
the game, and none of them proved
very expensive. Galgano. pitching for
Albuquerque. struck out eight men,
rassed three and allowed but five
hits. His pitching was equaled by but
two things. the fielding and batting
of his own team.
The game started off wrong. Kunz,
the first man up. got a home run.
Another safe hit and a two-bagger
followed in the same inning. And tnat
was about the way it was all the
est of the game. The visitors scor

of which was the appropriate "'07."
The ladies were dressed in pure white
and carried white carnations. The
gentlemen wore white duck trousers
ornamented with badges of royal blue
md old gold, the class cOlors, and
long ties of white ribbon. The Ger
man was led by Major Pearson and
Miss la Odem. After the completion
of the last figure, the fifteen couples
went with one movement to the cen
-er of the room, over them hanging
huge hoop, suspended with stream
ers of red and black, the Institute
eolors. This was lowered over them
and lights flashed from the center
If the hoop as the room was thrown
N darkness, making striking and
pleasing effect.
After the German the dancing was
begun, and continued till daylight this
morning. Delicious sherbet was serv-
ed throughout the evening. The bail
was attended by the largest crowd
