Mother and Father Sick

How many worthy cases of distress
and the nature of the suffering are to
be relieved may be gained from one
case that came to the attention of The
Herald yesterday:
A family residing on East Forty
sixth street is bereft of the services of
the husband and father, as he is at the
Physicians and Surgeons hospital, not
expected to live. The mother is also
i'll. There is no one to support the
family except a son who receives $40 a
week working in a grocery on East
Vernon avenue. All his wages go to
pay the hospital bills, it is stated.
The children have no shoes and al
most no clothing. Some charitable in
stitution rendered some aid recently,
but the money has long since been used.
The family is greatly in need of aid at
once. Names and addresses can be had
at The Herald office.
Herewith are a few letters from the
mail bag of the Santa Claus editor
showing how welcome is the proposed
gift distribution. All children are in
vited to write, giving their ages, sex,
school they attend, if any, and other
necessary particulars for Santa Claus:

RETURNS HOME TO FIND
BUSY BURGLAR IN HOUSE
Thief Jumps from Window and Dis
appears in Darkness While
Victim Looks for His
Revolver

A. B. Montelo, 1919 East Washington
street, discovered a burglar ransacking
his room when he returned to his home
shortly after o'clock Thursday night
Before Mantelo could secure his re-
volver the thief jumped from window
and disappeared in the darkness. An
examination of the premises showed
the burglar had obtained entrance by
prying open pantry windoW' \
stickpin was all the robber secured.
Had the man not been disturbed white
searching the room several valuable
pieces of jewelry probably would have
been taken.
The matter was reported to the police
Yesterday.

Mrs. Charles Foster Sends Her Guest
to Detention Ward, as His
Actions Appear Pc
cular

James Kalb was arrested at Tenth
and Albany streets last night by Mrs.
Charles Foster of the Foster patrol
and sent to the station house for eX-
animation.
Kalb has been annoying a number
of residents by begging at their doors,
and Mrs. Foster investigated the case
and found the man. He stated that he
was hungry, and she took him to her
home and fed him, and then thought it
best to send him to the detention ward
at the central station, as he seemed
to act queerly.

SMALLWOOD.

Never before has a campaign arous-
ed the enthusiasm to such a pitch as
the present one. On Saturday there
were two poles raised, Democratic, 72
feet, Republican, So feet. In spite of
the disagreeable weather, there was
large gathering, and every one en-
joyed the good natured badinage of
the members of the opposing parties,
and helped each other cheerfully.
The tomato factory here has closed,
the pack being $500 cases of dozen
each. Home help did the work, and
by so doing the people of this vicinity
will receive about $500 for work and
tomatoes.
On Thursday evening there was a
very enjoyable surprise given Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Buckingham in honor of
their uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs
Jacob Edmondson, of Ashland, o. But
it is very hard to find Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckingham unprepared to receive
company, so the following were re-
ceived in very hospitable manner
and treated likewise:
Judge John E. Eckenrode, wife and
daughter Margaret, Elias N. Davis,
wife and daughters Lottie and Nettie,
VIM. Utz, wife and son and Eugene Nc
Caffrey, all of Westminster; Mr.. and
Mrs Jacob Edmondson, of Ashland, O.;
Jas. G. Bowers, of Baltimore; Iven H.
Sayers, wife, son and daughter; How
ell Davis, wife and daughters; Rich

New Windsor; Miss Debbie E. Zile,
of Winfield. All left at late hour

that they spent very pleasant even

ROOSEVELT WAS FREE TRADER
Shown by Resolutions He Signed in
Blaine Campaign of 1884.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-That President
Roosevelt was free trader, who in
1884 signed free trade resolutions to
be incorporated in the Blaine plat
form, is shown by reprint of the
resolutions here today. At that time
the American Free Trade League pub
lished in Des Moines a paper called
'"The Million" of which A. j. Philpot
was editor. In it's issue of June IA,
1884, it printed resolution adopted
by the Free Trade Club, of New York,
with the names of Theodore Roose-
welt and George w. Curtis heading
the list. The resolution, among other
things, says:
The undersigned Republicans re-
spectfully ask that the National Con-
vention will not repel by it's platform
the large and growing number of rev.
enue reformers who believe that the
Republican party ought to respond
to the progressive elements in the
country. They ask, rather, that the
platform shall declare for the reduc-
ton of taxation to the necessities of
the Government; for the removal of
excessive duties on necessaries of life
rather than on the taxation of whisky
and tobacco; for the freeing of raw
materials required by our manufact-
uring industries, and for such a re-
duction of duties on unfinished goods
that they may in no case pay a higher
rate than finished goods, to the end
that American labor may really have
a fair chance in the home market and
the markets of the world"
The Democratic advocate., 1908-10-30
REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.
This Has Been the G. O. p. Slogan, but
Without q Sound Foundation.

The Republicans have paraded pros
perity as their trade mark. Let's see
what right they have to it.
Dun's Review shows that for the six
years before the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill the liabilities for failures
reached a total of $825, ,838-an
average of $137 ,522,640 year or $34,-
38O,660 per quarter. The Republicans
but the Mckinley bill in force October
6. 1890. The liabilities of failures dur
ing the last three months before its
passage reached an aggregate OF So5,-
452.436. The total for the first three
months after it's passage was $S9,OS5,-
144. So the Mckinley bill was fol-
lowed as quickly as a peal of thunder
follows a flash of lightning by more
than doubling of losses by failures.
This bill was in operation fifteen
full quarters-three and three-quart-
er years. During this time the losses
