ARE REPUBLICANS
 SINCERE ON TARIFF?

ductiye coaching one Manufactures, who has a duty of 30 per cent now on his product, and who acknowledges that he is making a profit on it, asks to have the duty increased to 40 peI cent and wants to have the duty taken off the materials which he uses i'll his factory, thus giving him a chance to swell his profits ill two directions. One or two manufacturers who asked for a lower duty on their own wares made my friend Chairman Payne gasp. Want No Bogus Revision. In it's platform of 1908 the Re publican party declared for revision in special session of Congress. to De called by the new President just aftet his inauguration. The country, includ- ing the National Association of Manu- { facturers, assumed that this meant honest and not bogus revision. On this presumption l and a large ma jority of the other members of the association supported Mir. Taft during the campaign.
 T want to say right here that as in it's membership, the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers covers al most all the great crafts of tn ecoun- l try, We never have as an association urged any specific changes up ol down in any particular schedule. Al that we ask is that the change bs honest and be equitable.
 l AS shown by his speeches and his views during the campaign President elect Taft also interpreted this plat form declaration to mean honest re tvision. It is clear to me, from things which some of his close friends hay, said aboEt him in the past few days that in his message to Congress at thu opening of the extra session he vii
 insist that the platform promise o honest revision must be Carried out 1T spirit and in letter.

A FORMER PINE BLUFFIAN ENDS LIFE
P. \. Mcdonald Displays Grim Rumor Just Before He Took Poison In
 Hot Springs Hotel.

X special to the Little Rock Gazette yesterday tells of the tragic suicide of P A. Mcdonald, formerly of Pine Bluff, who ended his life at a Hot Springs Hotel Friday. Mr. Mcdonald was formerly connected with local newspaper here and enjoyed wide acquaintance here. The Gazette says:
 With humor. grim and ironic, that did not desert him even on the eve of his death, Paul A. Mcdonald, for six weeks advertising solicitor of the Hot Springs Daily News, ended his life by swallowing go grains of mOr- phine in the Navarro hotel at Hot Springs tonight at 9 o'clock. He died from the effects of the poison at mid night. in spite of the efforts of physi- clans. who were called within 20 min utes after he had swallowed the poi son.
 Mcdonald walked into the Navarro last night and registered. After sign ing his name, he Requested the Clerk to assign him to room No. 23. and the clerk laughingly consented Me 1 Donald appeared rather worn, but gave no indications of the hidden meaning in his request for the room. Within 13 minutes after Mcdonald i went to his room persons in an ad- 1 joining room heard the sound of heavy breathing. Fearing the occupant of the room had become ill suddenly, the clerk of the hotel was notified and he ] forced open the locked door.
 Lying on the floor was Mcdonald and bv his side was an empty 30-grain bottle that had contained morphine. l Physicians were immediately sum- noned and everything possible was died in about three hours. The amount of the poison he took made an overdose. and it is said that if he had taken less of the drug he would have died more quickly.
 A note was found on table in the room. evidently written in shorthand and no one could be found tonight who could translate it. An effort will be made today to have the note deci- phered, as it is thought it will throw some light on the suicide.
 Absolute mystery surrounds the af- fair. as Mcdonald was not dissipated and no reason for his act is known IL is said, however, that he had cashed several checks for small amounts that were worthless. No one was pressing him because of these, however, and ii is believed there was some other mo- tive for the deed.
 Mcdonald is believed to have been single, although but little is known oi him here He was not stopping al the hotel where he ended his life, and nothing was found in his room at his boarding house that would throw any light on the affair
 He is said to have been a lieutenant in the volunteer army during thu Spanish American war. His mother is said to be Mrs. H. Mcdonald of 20: Forest avenue, Atlanta Ga. Other rel atives are said to live in TeXarkana.

the star player from the local five, as
each one did his part perfectly and
