Poor old tariff revision. ridden by the
old Republican war horse Stand Pat. is
going TO occasion some confusion at the
Chicago convention.
No one doubts for an instant that all
the justly celebrated tariff revisers are
about to leap upon the Dingley law and
tear It In small pieces. but then no one
for an instant forgets that some one
else Is going to be or hand to gather up
the fragments, put them carefully away
in the same old basket Of next year,
and present the remnants 20 the Chicago
convention.
With the allies worrying him constantly
with the very realistic ghost Of the third
term looming up at all times: with his
recent speech concerning Gen. Grant and
with the ardent desire 10 have the tarin
revised up, down, and through the middle,
Secretary Taft has had pleasant week.
Trouble over Amount.
Now the story is about that there Is
trouble over just how much promise of
revision the people should get from the
Republican party. Congress leaders, par
ticularlv leaders in the House, were
in the winter that there was nothing
that would please the majority more thar

which way ia revise it at the time, W
or down.
When the platform makers invaded
Washington. headed by Mr.. Ellis, the sta
reviser Of the Ohio State platform. tariff
revision became a prominent part of III
dispatches concerning that article OF con
vention furniture.
Mr.. Ellis it will be remembered. dre'

in effect that 'the traiff is the mothe

Mr.. Ellis might here get all the leewa
he desired and write a plan which wou

from the Dingley law.
While the leaders in the House, hoy
ever, may not be strong enough 10 di

that Mr.. Taft Will fly In the face Of tn

 Years.
CuOld Not Sleep Without Smoking During the Night, and as . Re. uult Never Felt Like Getting

I feel 1t my duty to let the unfortu- nate Cigarette FIend" know that there Is cure for the cigarette habit. no matter how long or to what extent one has been using these life-destroy- . ing agents of the devil. In my case I had been smoking cigarettes since I was 10 years old. The desire for cig- arettes was such that my first thought on arising In the morning and my last thought at night before retiring was "a cigarette" and finally I got so I would wake during the night and in- hale the smoke from cigarette be- fore I could again go to sleep. As a result of the constant use of cigar ettes during the night would not feel like getting up in the morning, feeling so tired that I had neither energy 10 arise nor appetite at breakfast time. consequently I would take my break fast to my place of business and may be eat it later on. Tn fact, had little appetite at any time, and weighed oniy 119 pounds, whereas. since taking your treatment, 1 now weigh 140 pounds.
 I want to tell all cigarette uaers that If they will take a course of vonr Specially Prepared Home Treatment in accordance with directions that accom- pany each course of treatment. that they will not only get rid of all desire or necessity for cigarettes. but their general health will be greatly i'm proved.

CITY TREASURER TAT
 HAS DELINQUENTS LIST

Robert Tait. City Treasurer, is pre- pairing a list of thsoe who have not paid their realty taxes and who will have to deal with the Register in Chan cery. The little list is to be given to the Register who will proceed to sell the properties for taxes.
 Under the laws of the City taxes on real and personal property become de- linquent on December 1. To collect the taxes on personal properties the City may at once. If 1t seems expedient, have issued attachments. The taxes on real property are not bounden by the immediate sale of the properties but the delinquents are allowed until Janu- ary to pay them though in the mean time, of course, damages accrue.
 But by courtesy the city allows the delinquents until April 1 to pay before selling their properties through the off, fices of the, Register in Chaneery of the City Court of Montgomery. Even now in fact those who owe may escape the selling penalty if they pay their taxes before Mir. Tait has completed his little list
