TARIFF SOPHlSTRIES.
Press Comments on Republican Candi
dates Tariff Views.

| Fress comments on Republican CandI-
dates Tariff Views.
The Springfield MasSy Republican
Qnd.) says: con the tariff Mr. Taft
! shows a marked disposition to hedge
Some schedules are now too high, none
specified, and should be lowered; some
are too low, none mentioned, and
should be raised, and when the Taft
revision is completed the tariff rates
will average apparently about what
they do now"
The New York World Und Dem
says: "In respect to tariff revision Mr..
| Taft stands on the dubious Chicago
platform, but while urging that such
revision is necessary and that many
schedules ought to be reduced he adj
vances the amazing argument that
there are other schedules which should
be raised in order to maintain the
principle of protection. This is even
worse than the Chicago plank If 1t is
not a plain surrender to the extreme
high protection plutocracy within the
Republican party then Mr.. Taft's
words have no meaning"
The Philadelphia Record Gnd. Dem.)
says: $50 far as the trusts are con-
cerned, the tariff serves neither for pro
lection nor for revenue. but only as an
instrument of plumber. The duties are
merely taken out Of the pockets Of the
people to swell the spoiIs in the Golfers
of the trusts. Descending from the
generalities of speech, beneath which
deceit is too apt to Turk. to particulars
and details Of legislation the sOphistries
Of Candidate Taft are completely ex-
posed, and he stands as the typical
representative of the party Of stand
patters who could not reform the tariff

''pat.''

When Jimmie, the little boy, came In
one day his sister ran to meet him
with the tidings:
Pat is dead"
Then there were tear wet faces, and
after awhile the two children trudged
out into the back lot. Jimmie got a
spade, and little grave was dug.
Other children were called, and there
was small funeral procession, after
which Pat who had been their play
mate so long, was laid to rest.
Jimmie fashioned a rude cross with
the name cut on it and placed 1t over
the spot. He reasoned in his childish
heart that he who loved little children
must also love the animals and all liv-
ing things. Why not?
For Pat was only a cat

Dun's Weekly Statement.

New York, Dec. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomor-
row will say:
Retail trade is active in holiday
goods and winter wearing apparel.
while wholesale and jobbing depart
ments are quiet as to new business.
but there is a good movement on old
orders and manufacturing operations
are not curtailed. Inventories are be-
ing taken and their completion indi-
Gates no excessive stocks. Mercantile
collections are more prompt and the
steady gain In production OF pig iron
is most encouraging indication Of
confidence in the leading industry.
Seasonably quiet conditions are report
ed in the market goods, stocks being
reduced as far as possible for taking
inventories.
Advances In prices Of footwear
have been asked by New England
manufacturers. and while the rise
tends to restrict new business the raw
material situation seems to warrant
the small increase OF 2 1-2 toN5 cents

We copied from The State a few
days ago an editorial in regard to the
liquor business in Charleston and in.
tended to make some reference there.
to, but did not at the time The ar
ticle has been copied and commented
upon by several papers in the State
The following is from the Chester
Lantern.
Elsewhere In this issue we repro
duce an aditorial from The State deal
ing with Charleston and the liquor
law. We desire to call the attention
OF our readers to 1t for 1t strikes us
that 1t was written by a man thor
oughly familiar with the situation as
1t is In Charleston today.
AS The State says Charleston has
not. Is not now, and will not enforce
the dispensary law. The law. as far as
Charleston Is concerned. is a farce and
we garantee that none except those
who have been there can begin to
imagine what farce it Is. The ma
jority OF the Charleston people believe
that the state of South Carolina has
no right to tell them that they shall not
sell liquor except by means of the dis
pensary and they have determined
that they will not obey the law. Tits
determination they are sticking to ten
aciously.
l will be for the legislature to de-
eide what shall be done I'm the matter.
The local authorities are not enforcing
the law in Charleston and are we to
allow Charleston to defy the laws that
other parts of the State obey? AS the
state says the matter needs to be
dealt with by wise and cool heads and
all prejudice against Charleston
should be laid aside.
But the State covered the whole
subject SO well that We will leave It to
them and simply call your attention
to the editorial.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE indigna-
ton Of the members of the house of
representatives over the paragraph of
the presidents annual message relat-
ing to the secret service found express
sion today in resolution offered by
Mr.. Perkins. Republican, Of New
York, providing for the appointment
OF a committee OF Ave to consider the
subject and report what action should
be taken in connection with the mat
tier. The resolution was as follows:
Whereas. there was contained in
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
which passed congress at It's last ses-
sion and became a law q provision in
reference to the employment Of the
secret service in the treasury depart
ment; and,
Whereas. in the message of the
President OF the United States to the
two houses Of Congress 1t was stated
in reference to that provision, at is
ment has been Of benefit only, and
couii be of benefit only to the criminal
classes,' and 1t was further stated the
che, argument In favor OF the pro-
vision wes that the Congressman did
not themselves wish to be investigated
by secret service men," and 1t was
further stated. but IL this Is not con-
sidered desirable special exception
could be made in the law. prohibiting
the use Of the secret service force in
investigating members Of Congress. II
would be far better to do this than to
do what actually was done, and strive
to prevent or at least to hamper ef-
fective action against criminals by the
executive branch Of the government.
Now. therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That a committee of fine
members Of Congress Of this house be
appointed by the Speaker to consider
the statements contained In the mes.
sage OF the President and report to the
House what action, II any should be
taken In reference thereto"
Mr.. Perkins was designated by the
Republican leaders of the House to
present the resolution.
In submitting 1t he said:
II do not believe in over-sentiveness
to unfavorable criticism. whether upon
an individual or upon a public body
But while there may be undue sen.
sitiveness. so also there may be undue
| obtuseness, which might argue lack
Of proper self-respect.
The statements made by the Presi-
dent cannot be lightly disregarded."
A resolution similar to that passed
by the house will be adopted by the
senate early next week. 1t will pro.
vide for the appointment Or commit
tee to recommend a course Of action
| relative to the Presidents utterance.

CONFEDERACY'S PLAN TO RE-

Chicago, May 16.-Felix Grundy
Stiger, civil war veteran, known as the
exposer of the Golden Circle" drop
ped dead If he had passed away for
ty-five years ago Gen. Grant might
have taken two more summers to
reach Richmond. Stiger was secret
service man during the last two years
of the war. and prevented the South
from executing one of the most in
genious schemes of the war Stiger,
ingle-handed. worked his way in the
secret order of Southerners in the
Northern states. known as the
knights of the Golden Circle" and
became one of its chief officers. Then
he exposed the conspiracy for the de-
livery of 10000 confederate prisoners
in Fort Douglass in Chicago and other
Northern cities. Before the exposure
the South was about ready to give up
the conflict. after the battles of Get
tysburg and Vicksburg, but its spirit
was rejuvinated by the knowledge that
the Golden Circle" would attempt to
deliver confederate prisoners and al
so the states of Illinois. Missouri, Indi-
ana and Ohio. After the war Stigers
life was threatened many times, and
after residing in Louisville he was
compelled to leave that city and forced
TO move north.

Work Will Not Begin Until the
Sewer System Has Been
Completed.
THE WORK Is DRAGGING.
The CONTRACTOR ENCOUNTER
MUCH ROCK ON FIRST SECTION
OF SEWER WHICH REQUIRES
MUCH BLASTING.

The work on the construction Of the
Northwest Second street viaduct will
not be started by the Pennsylvania
railroad until the city has completed
work on the Northwest Second street
sewer system. The railroad company
has all of it's iron work here and all
contracts for the work have been let,
but the company can not begin on this
improvement until the completion OF
the sewer system.
Guy Scott, engineer Of maintenance
of way Of the Richmond division, stat
ed today that by an agreement with
City Engineer Fred Charles the city
will excavate under the tracks at the
Northwest Second street crossing.
This work will be done in connection
with the sewer work and will be a saw
Ing both to the city and the railroad
company.
Before the work Of exCavating under
the tracks is started, piles will be
driven down through the embankment
tor the support of the rails. II is
hoped that the railroad company will
be in, q position to start on its part OF
the work by next fall, but there are
some doubts as to whether it will be
possible to begin that soon.
The first section of the Northwest
Second street sewer has not been com
pleted owing to the great amount of
blasting that has been necessary. In
Ane construction of the second section
of the sewer, which leads directly to
the railroad, there will be an even
greater amount of blasting to be done
owing to the fact that on this section
of the sewer site the rock strata is
much thicker than on the site of the
first. section.
Railroad men state that it is absO-
lutely necessary to have the sewer
completed before the actual work of
constructing the viaduct is attempted,
owing to the fact that thorough drain
age is necessary.

NEGRO WAS. BEATEN
Brownsville Soldier Suing for
Back Pay Will Get
Nothing.
ROOSEVELT DID NOT ERR.

New York. May 16.- President
Roosevelt did not Overstep his author
ity when he dismissed from the serv-
ice negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry for alleged participation in a
riot at Brownsville. according To a
decision rendered today by Judge
HOugh in the United States District
Court. Oscar w. Reid. one of the dis
missed soldiers, had sued the Govern
ment to recover 1922 as wages from
the date of his dismissal to the expir-
alton of his term Of enlistment.
Judge HOugh in his decision. held
that the President acted entirely with
in his rights in Diminishing the soldiers
of the Twenty-ffth Regiment, mas
much as the enlistment papers and
oath provide that a soldier shall serve
for the period of three years unless
sooner discharged by proper authoTi-
ty." The President is proper authority
the decision declares.
Judgment was directed against the
petitioner with costs.
