WE WILL be glad to receive
and forward to the Democratic
National Committee any contri-
button from the Democrats of
Mathews. We acknowledge with
pleasure the receipt of $500 from
Capt. Alex James tor the good
cause. o which THE JOURNAL will
add $50. and hope that many
others may follow his liberal ex-
ample,
This is beyond doubt the fairest
and most honest way to secul e
campaign funds and the people
should not allow the party to
suffer through lack of support
for this admirably policy.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. AUG. IL IL

Washington, Aug. 81, 1908.
The Republicans are trying to
make the voters believe that there
is practically no ISSUE in this cam
paign out issues are appearing
rapidly and issues Cf such charac-
ter are developing as will over
whelm them at the November
polls. The tariff has loomed
above the horizon in very threat
ening menuer to the Republican
interest.
The Republican have been
preaching the doctrine of pro-
lection for years and years and
the fallacy Of that doctrine has
been overwhelmingly established
and i'll fact, the word protection
means now nothing more than
protection to the trusts. The
protective tariff is not in the in
terest of the people but of these
rapacious trusts that are gouging
every cent possible out of Ameri-
cans. For instance the ereat
steel trust is selling steel rails in
London for $22 per ton aud are
charging the Americans SIS per
ton. If it were not for the tariff
they would be compelled to sell
the steel rails to the Americans at
me same rate that they sell them
to the English but they having
the benefit of the high tariff can
exclude the competition of the
English manufacturers and thus
prey on the Americans at their
pleasure. The same is true of the
wire nail trust which is CHARGING
farmers so per cent more for
their wire, fences and nail than
they do the foreigners. The same
is true OF household articles; the
sewing machine trust is selling
machines in London and Paris
for about Sis less than they are
to the American consumer. The
same is also true of the watch
trust and numbers and numbers
OF articles can be mentioned aIoco
the same line. The American
people have been tricked and de-
trauded on these lines long enough
aud the worm is going to turn
and with it they will turn the Re-
publican party out of power. for
they have not only permitted this
tariff robbery to go on but have |
done absolutely nothing in the
way Of curbing these great trusts
In fact. they are as strong TODAY
as they were when Roosevelt
came into power. This is shown
by the ease with which thew mil
lined the $40. 600. 600 fine against
the Standard Oil Company in the
Circuit Court Of Appeals. The
trusts absolutely own the Repub.
"a IAN party and the judges which
nave been appointed by that par )
y. We cannot bring relief TO y
he people until the Republicans &
are kicked out of power. =

MATHEWS HIGH SCHOOL.

S"S t1lSh and Public school is
gong to get a move on it this
Year, The board has secured the
services of normal graduate of
William and Mary college as prin-
clpaI. He taught last year and
set to going the Lunenberg HIGH
school. doing for it just the work
you want done here. He brings
the highest recommendation from
from the school officials there as
we'll as from ais professors at
William ana Mary.
lis true, he is young, but
young shoulders sometimes have
old heads, and you will admit that
his three predecessors were de-
cldedly not Young, You will also
agree that no one of them, nor all
three together. set the school to
going for it does not go. So.
now, let us see what this vouno
professor is going to do with it. in
spite of the fact that we have
heard it said, "he is too young. F."
enough Of this; it was not to
The professor nor the school. but
to the school PIANO that l intend
ed to diaect your attention when
began. Perhaps it is not gem
orally known thai a piano was
purchased for the school in Nav.
1t was not purchased by the school
board as some seem to think, but
by the pupils C the school with
the consent of the board. 1t is a
piano which cost $4,000, but the
party 1T was ordered for failed TO
take 1t and the company offered
1t to the school for $2oo.oo-$Io.Co
to bind the bargain and $500 per
month until the $4,000 is paid
With the consent of the school
board the purchase was made.
the $Io 90 paid and four monthly
payments have been made. You
VIII naturally ask where the mon
ey came from. Well, if you re-
member. Prof Geo. A. Jordan,
the first principal of the school.
refunded last year $500 which
he had collected at a school en-
tertainment when he was teach
ing. You will recall his letter
published in The JOURNAL con-
corning IT'D This $4,000 paid the
$IO. 90 and two monthly payments
and Miss Daughtry gave the fund,
$I4,o from her entertainment
last session and that paid the
other two months. making in all
$500 which has been paid.
Now. you will ask. how is the
rest OF the money to be raised?
We know very well that there
might possibly be a death penalty
attached to the crime of asking
help from the school board so no
one has ever thought of That.
There are two payments due be-
tore school opens August and
September-after school opens
tbs teachers must make their own
plans to raise the money, but here
is our vacation plan: a lawn par
ty, ice cream and musical pro-
gram at the home of Mrs, G.. NJ.
Douglas. No admission will be
charged but you will be expected
to patronize the ice cream and
cake IN return for whatever Won
may enjoy of<he little entertain
ment which will be gwen on Mrs. |
Douglas porch. The lawn will !
be seated and lighted and an en-
jOyable evening is looked forward |
to. Come one. come all! and !
help the piano fund.
1t has been predicted by some |
that this piano will have to be
returned. as the children will not
be able to pay for it, but let us
see. The committee will look
after that.

London. Feb. s.-The conference of the representatives of the Atlantlc steamship lines engaged in the pas senger traffic came 10 a conclusion to-day, and although none of the del- egates will discuss the decision, or even admit that an agreement was reached, it is understood that com plete understanding has been arrived al.

 In shipping circles it is believed that the agreement includes an ar rangement to stop cutting rates, ana one to maintain passenger rates of all classes and possibly pool all steerage business. as is now done by the Ger man lines. The steerage business mas been the chief cause of trouole pe1 tween the companies represented at the conference. it having been dlffleult to decide what differentials should be allowed as between the companies taking passengers direct from the cons tinent and the companies that have had first to transport their passengers from England to the continent.

With a full house to greet it, the Wizard of Oz' began what will be a record breaking run. The scdrecrow is we'll known character especially with George Stone doing it. for he was un- der study to Fred" Stone and when he took his place it was amply filled. He was greatly appreciated by the au- dience last night.
 Scenery is a great factor in the show and the scenery of this company is of the highest sort. It snows, it halls and rains and full fiedged cyclone sweeps across the stage
 It seems that the throne of the land of Oz has been appropriate for the use of a man who shouldn't have it. There are several conspirators who hope to get it back There is lot of confus ion and thrown bombs that won't ex- plode but finally Pastoria II, the former king, is reinstated on the throne. There is a lady lunatic in the play. who sees likenesses of her former husband in everyone. She finally discovers that the tin man is. her husband. The "scarecrow'' marries Dorothy Gale, a victim of the cyclone, of the first act
 Incidental to the play many songs were introduced, one with the spot light on a particular individual in the audience, being greatly encored. Tn sanity sung by the lady lunatic, '" was vigorously applauded.

MISS CRossMAN's NEW PLAY.
Bits of IL With Real, True Touch but
 Nothing Thrilling.

The sweet anl winsome Henrietta Crossman whom New Haven theatre goers have known for a good many years and known with deepening pleasure was at the Hyperion last night in new play The Smoke and the Fires" The play written by Jessie Trimble, is called on the bills a com edy of sentiment but the comedy while considerable in quantity is secon- dary to the central thoughts of the play-the nemesis of the shining wom- an and the power of the mothers love
 As Miss Crossman said in her speech after the second act, 1t was a weeping and wailing piece of kind which New Haven had not seen her in before this. A good deal of the first act looks, acts and is amateurish. There are bits of the play with the real true touch but they are not many and one Is kept waiting for the thrill that never comes.
 The play opens with James boring bringing home a second wife to his three children. the eldest of whom is Jim. young Yale graduate. The new wife is a daughter of a Yale professor and in her earlier days there was some talk not of a pleasant nature concern 1 ing her actions with a certain senior
 at Yale to whom she was engaged The new wife, however, is received into the home at her face value. But in the recital of her story the new Mrs. Lor- 1 ing it turns out, did not tell all the | facts There was a child and the an- nouncement of it's impending death

It is lucky that we do 1 not leave until 140 a, m. because at the rate things were going up the time 1 left do not believe the concert will be over until midnight
