THURSDAY. EVENING. NOV. 7, 1907,

ITIsa mat ef Of great regret, says the
Poll ldeiphia Record, that the tariff war
with Germany was STAYED of by the
sgreemeu, upon a modus vivendi. 1t is
very certain that tie radical protection
ISIS will succeed 10 preventing any tam
reIsxstion until our trade has suffered
from a tariff war and the people have
driven them from poSer. Had the tar
iff var b. en- permitted to occur this year
the couotIy would arise year from now
and drive protec,ionism out OF the Wbite
House and The House Of Representatives
snd scare it 10 the Senate into submission
IN reason. There is little DOUBT that the
administration effected the modus vi
vendi for the purpose Of s'aViog OF the
tariff var ill the next national election
had been held. As intimsted in the Ga
z,u9s WasbingtoD correspondence yes
ter5ay, hsfe is every prospect nov for a
tariff car With France. o! cour;e, II
the French blow absll fall oDly on Porto
Pican coffee but few will care. The
rro,ec ionists have sacrificed the pros
periiv of the Filipinos, and they sre en-
tirely ready to see the Porto RicanS
xrined But if France shall strike ex-
pofts from the United States this ooun-
try would get an object Lesson in prosec-
ton Of which there is great need. For
some iuserutable reason the farmers Of
the north have very generally been sup
porting a policy that imposes burden
upon them and is incapable of benefting
them When Germany shall resort to
Yetsliatory duties they will fall mainly
upon the agricultural products, for il is
the great landowners who are in power
there. 1t is not so certain that France,
which imports but little wheat, will aim
its blow at American farmers, but 1t may
do 20, and if not, it will strike a hard
blow at the rapidly developing exports
of manufactured goods. If this country
could get into a couple Oftariff wars soon
enouqh j. would not be necessary to
couat the ballots year from this time.
The republican candidates would not
know they bad been running. The
manufacturers are clsmoriDg for reci'
proci;y treaties and wider foreign out
lets, snd few retalistory duties by our
bigger customers would split the repub-
lie party from top to bottom.

Baker Alleged to Have Been Poisoned

Boston, Nov. THE Last vestige
of doubt that Wslier F. Bakers death
YVES caused by poison is removed. The
poison wss found in such quantities as to
preclude the possibility OF having been
self administered. The report of Har.
ward chemists is being forwarded to
New York detectives Edward F. Baker,
brother of the dead man, seys the report
will Justify the officers in m aking arrests
today or tomorrow. A new chapter in
the life OF Walter Baker vas brought to
light today when bis brother said he had
been informed that Walter wished to
marry Mrs Frank 81. Hurd, Of Bogots,
n, j., when she was Miss Bay, OF
Jersey City. Walter Baker died at the
Hurd home after being removed from
chop house 10 New York, where he had
become i'll. Edward B.ker also said
today that a month before Walters
death Walter had told him if he would
send bis boys to boarding school, he,
Walter, would leave the the greater
part OF his fortune The recollection OF
this cfer mas increased Edwards sus-
picion regarding the will dated Febru.
sry 9, 1907, in which Walter left q
third of bis estate to The small daughter

FEW election results in the country

this success at the polls of Mayor Taylor,

man needed in the ciiy's present emer-
gency. he has done excellent work in
the few months since his appointment,

GOVERNMENT WOULD LEND AID
The Jubilee to be Held in 1911. at Little Rock, And Would do Immea- surable Good to The State And
 The South.

Washington, Oct. 9. - The Department of Agriculture would throw itself with energy into making the Arkansas diamond jubilee in 1911 a success, were it to be made the exponent of the cotton industry of the South and that feature specialized" Secre- tary Wilson of the department said today with enthusiasm, when he was asked for suggestions as to his ideas. II think it would attract general attention the world over, and it would result in immeasurable good to that state and the South"
 Secretary Wilson appeared to be impressed with the idea, and talked at length of the possibili. ties along that line.
 Why, presume a large cotton exposition were held in Little Rock, he continued. Presume it began with the cotton as it comes from the field, and gin were erected, and mill, and all the works for carrying of the cotton through the several stages to state of readiness for the market, with all the by pro. ducts cared for; in fact, presume the diamond celebration were to be the complete demonstration of the cotton industry, and then that the government were to % there with object lessons of scientific developmentof of methods for improving the quality and in creasing the hequantity of the crops there tDat would be an enter prise of assured success.
 "I already have said that l be lieve the cotton production on the present acreage in the South could be doubled, if the proper steps were taken to bring it to pass. The Arkansas dia- mond jubilee could be made the means of arousing universal in terest in that advanced agricul- ture and go down into history as the thing which marked the new era of Southern farming.

 Governor Pindall arrived home yesterday from Hot Springs, and his suggestion that the state house ensign be flown from half mast during the day, was acted upon by the secretary of state early this morning.
 Business is practically sus- pended in the city, as Judge Rid dick was a close personal friend to so many of the citizens of Little Rock. A telegram receiv- ed from Paragould last night in dicated that several of the best citizens of that city and commun- ity would be here to attend the funeral.
