THE TARIFF issue
HIGH OR Low TARIFF The REAL
issue OF 1908.
The Question to be Decided Next
November is an Economical One.
High Prices at Home and Low
Prices Abroad Will no Longer be
Tolerated.

Outside of the intricacies of the
different schedules of the tariff, pur-
posely made obscure and difficult for
voters to understand, the question of
high or low tariff is the real fact at
| issue. That plain issue everyone can
comprehend. The present tariff was
especially designed to protect the
trusts and manufacturers from for
elgn competition, and the question of
raising revenue for the government
was secondary consideration. The
republican politicians when concoct-
ing the present tariff law to suit the
trusts and protected monopolists
rashly discarded the presumption
that foreign countries, when they
found the schedules SO prohibitive
that they could not profitably export
their products to this country would
retaliate by increasing their rates of
duties, so as to prohibit the importa-
tion of American goods. Foreigners
want our wheat and flour, our corn
and meat and tobacco, and other
products they do not raise themselves.
or do not produce in sufficient guam
titles to supply their own consumers,
but they do not want our manufac-
tured goods to compete with their
own like products. Such countries as
Germany, France, Austria, Russia,
and in fact every country, but Eng
land, has raised a higher tariff bar
rier to prevent competition from the
United States. They declare, if you
will not trade with us we will buy
as little as possible of you.
The trusts try to overcome their
foreign tariff barrier by selling at
much lower prices to the foreigners
than to our own people The Eu-
ropean and other foreign markets are
loaded down with bargain counter
goods from the United States, while
trust prices here are still kept at the
top notch.
Therefore, the question the voters
of the United States must decide at
the coming election, is whether they
are satisfied to pay high prices for
much they buy, or by reducing the
tariff participate in the reduced
EDrices that the foreigners enjoy. That
is very simple proposition to vote
upon. Those few voters who benefit
by trust high prices will, of course,
vote to continue the republican party
in power. Those who think the trusts
should shift for themselves and be
subject to competition that will force
them to sell their products as cheap
ly as abroad will vote the democratic
ticket.
The republican national platform
will declare as former ones have, for
the principle of protection" and al
though there may be a promise to
revise the tariff, there will be no di-
rect promise to revise it lower
How can the protective principle
be perpetuated without continuing
or even increasing the present rates?
Don't be again fooled by promises I'M
less specific reductions are included.

A MERITED TRIBUTE
WORTHY JUDGE TO Be PROMOTED
TO THE SUPREME Bench.
A Movement in Whitman County to
Elect Superior Judge Chadwick to
the Supreme Bench without Re.
gard to Politics. Judge Chadwick
to Get Deserved Promotion.

Chief Justice Hadley has definite
ly decided not to enter the race for
reelection to the supreme bench, pre-
ferring to resume practice at the eX-
piration of his term, which will be
next January. Regret at this course
is noted from every part of the state,
Judge Hadey being regarded as a
very able, as well as an upright man.
truly an ornament to the bench. He
comes from a family noted for legal
acumen. His retirement, however,
has changed the aspect of things con-
siderably as regards the succession.
Judge Chadwick of the superior
court of Whitman county has an
nounced that he will not be a candi-
date to succeed himself. The Gazette,
with all good citizens of the county,
will regret this determination, but
he has been asked to enter the field
for the supreme judgship and has
consented to do so. This request
comes from all parts of the state and
from men of all shades of political
opinion. 1t is recognized that the
supreme judgship should be above
craftsmanship, given solely to men of
high standing socially and intellec-
tually and of recognized legal acu-
men. Judge Chadwick fills all these
requirements and deserves and has
earned the promotion to the higher
court.
Judge Chadwick took over the ad-
ministration of our judicial affairs
at a most critical time; extravaganza
and incompetency had brought the
standing of our superior court to
low place. He brought order out of
Cnaos. He has made the court of
Whitman county a credit to the cOun-
w and an honor to the state; he has
soen economical, faithful and fear
less he has by strict attention, saved
the county more than his salary every
year; he has made name for HIM
self as a just and learned judge.
Under the new law supreme
judges are elected without reference
to politics, and Judge Chadwick's
name will be on both the republican
and democratic primary tickets. The
election is non-partisan, thus every
citizen of his home county will have
the opportunity to vote for him. He
has made good in every public posi-
tion to which he has been called,
and his work on the supreme bench
will be of the same high order.
1t is notorious fact that his hard
work has deserved more recompense
than he has received. There is no
way for the county to pay this, but
it can reward him by giving him it's
undivided support. Therefore, the
Gazette now proposes a non-partisan
movement on the part of every news
paper and citizen of Whitman county
at the September primaries. He has
earned it, the people owe it, now let
us pay our obligation without one
dissenting vote

MYSTERY DEEPENs.

lei Donohue and mis- murdered wife
beyond the scope of their inqulsltlons,
the police of Oakland, Emeryville and
San Francisco are still unsatlsfled
with incomplete speculations to ac-
count for responsibility for the crime
committed last June, when the woman
now believed to have formerly been
Miss Alice Stewart Of Pennsylvania,
was made away with. There is strong
hope that the mystery may be clear
ed up when the inquest, hurriedly ad-
journed today when the news of Dom
ohue's death was received, is resum-
ed Tuesday. The theories most gem
orally accepted tonight after hours
OF investigation is that Donohue mur-
dered his wife or that she was killed
by Joseph Berry with Donohte as an
accomplice. Gustave Arkell, the only
man taken into custody in connec-
ton with the crime, will be held until
and perhaps ldhger.
Search is being made for Berry, but
up to a late hour he had not been
captured.

Another fact that has aroused sus-
ptejon of incendiarism was the find
ing of an oil can in the rear of the
Thempson-Barnhart building on
Main street. The morning after the
big Christian church fire the can was
discovered cached away under the
corner Of one of the warehouses in
that neigbborhood. 1t was an ordl-
nary gallon can and when found was
half filled with oil.
Though the finding of the can may
mean nothing yet its discovery
caused suspicion to be aroused. It
had been placed in an out Of the way
place and it is somewhat difficult to
account for its being there. Consid-
cradle old lumber was under the

House Blaze Still Unlnown-No
Trace Being Found of Stealthy
Runner,

Suspicion that Pendleton has been
the victim of a firebug or of several
Of that species. has been caused by
the frequency with which fires have
broken out here within the last few
weeks. Whether or not such a sus-
picion is well founded is a matter up
on which opinions differ, but all unite
in declaring that fires are occurring
too regularly for comfort and some
feeling in the matter is being arous,
ed.
Though all of the fires may have
been started purely through accident
there are some things that lend color
t. the firebug theory The fact that
a man was seen running stealthily
away from the Alta House fire lndi-
Gates that incendiarism was the cause
Of the disastrous blaze night before
last. Who the mysterious runner
was has not yet been learned and
perhaps never will be. However, il
may be he had no connection with
the fire, but had seen it and was has
tening to get away for fear lest the
blame should be placed upon him.
Sheriff Taylor is inclined to the
theory that the Alta House fire was !
started accidentally. though he ad,

THE MAYOR HAD A FIRE.

III WIN VI
The ease with which fires may be
started through carelessness was
shown here a few days ago when an
incipient blaze was discovered at
Mayor Murphy's paint store on Court
street. The fire was in a pile of
house lining on a table near the GEN.
ter of the room and was probably
started by the careless dropping of a
cigarette.
A moment before the fire was seen
Mr.. Murphy was standing in the rear
Of his store talking about the num-
Der Of fires the city had been having.
Glancing towards the front of the
store he saw a little blaze springing
up from the pile of cloth and he at
once made a jump for the same. He
carried the burning bolt out of the
room and the fire was over. Had
the fire occurred at night or when
the room was deserted Of people a
serious blaze would doubtless have
resulted.
