TIME FOR REVISION HAS COME
Serene e. Payne Says Conditions Now
Justify II.

Justify II.
AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. 31.-In an address
accepting denomination today, Serene E.
Payne, chairman OF the ways and means
committee and republican leader in the
W house of congress-, said he believed
the time has come for action in the direc-
ton of revision of the tariff. 'Our RIVALS
in trade, Germany and France, have
adopted a maximum and minimum Of tar
IT." said he, land under our existing law
we are unable to obtain their minimum
rate without too great a sacrifice to Amer
lean industry. We can only meet them on
their own ground with a maximum and
minimum tariff. This consideration alone
would be sufficient to justify a revision"
Mr.. Payne was renominated today for
the fourteenth time by the republicans of
the T~hirty-first congressional district.
Notwithstanding democratic opposition,
we have convinced the American people
that we are earnest in our pledge to re-
wise the tariff; It would seem almost to
have convinced Mr.! Bryan, for he has been
telling us how 1t ought to be done in his
platform and in his speeches. He declares
that articles entering into competition with
trust-controlled products should be placed
upon the free list This is in line with
a bill introduced by Mr.. Bryan while he
was in congress in the '90s and a member
OF the committee on ways and means. If
he has any settled convictions, this seems
to be one of them. But W, erever there is
a trust there are also smaller factories de-
pendent for their existence on the same
tariff protection. His program would GER
tainly destroy the latter, If the trusts or
the other factories are wiped out what
does he propose to do with the countless
thousands OF workmen that this free list
would deprive of the daily means OF sup
port? Can this be the man who proclaims
himself the friend of labor? No greater
danger has threatened the laboring man in
this country than this proposition in the
democratic platform"

zation held on August q, 1908, It was re-
solved that we pledge our support to the
PRECEDENT Of the American Federation of
Labor and the executive board of the same
nv our votes to defeat the republican
party, which has been responsible for the
drastic action taken against labor's just
demands.
We pledge, further, our support to Will
inm Jennings Bryan and the democratic
party in the coming election for protecting
organised labor by inserting in their plat
form a labor recommendation and ~pledging
It's support to the same.
Several delegates declared they thought
It wrong for the body to take any part in
party politics. A motion to table the
re solutions was lost and a motion
to spread the resolution of the Elevator
Constructors and Millwrights' union on the
minutes OF the central federated union
was carried.

Of Equalization has almost completed max
ing the compilation of the terminal proper
ties Of railroads for the benefit of the state
board, which has to equalize between the
various towns and cities. The figures show
that Omaha will get from all the roads a
valuation Of 81, $40, 636. This sum has yet to
pass muster before the state board and is
not official, but the board probably will
change it very little. Following is the I'M

til a day or two ago the Union Pacific was
the only road which had received this per-

made by telegraph today and permission
granted to each of the roads.

In Richardson county the demo-pops are
charging the republicans are responsible
for increased taxes and a few other things
along this line. An inquiry was made Of

Death OF Comrade Harmon.

The sudden death Of Comrade w
N. Harmon Tuesday morning came as
a surprise to most Of his old comrades,
as a fatal termination of his sickness
was not anticipated. A week ago he
was apparently in good health and
full of ambition. He had an attack
Of measles which settled upon his
lungs which were weak.
William N. Harmon was a member
of Company D.. 31st Iowa Infantry,
and served three years and ten
months during 1.-The civil a He
has been a resident of this state %
years, most Of which time he has liv-
ed in Canton. He leaves a wife and
two sons, G. A. and E. A. Harmon OF
this city, and Mrs. III. M. Ashley OF
La Port, Iowa, and Mrs. G. E. Wat
kins of Canton, to mourn an honored
and respected husband and father.
He was a good soldier and a good citi-
zen.
The funeral took place from the
home of deceased Thursday at 3 p. NJ.
under the direction Of the q. A. R.
and the funeral sermon was preached
by Rev. Evans. The muster roll
at the cemetery represents 43, nearly
half a company in war times.

M. e. Choir Concert.

A splendid audience greeted the
choir Tuesday evening and it was an
audience that enjoyed the program
and the program was worthy of the
splendid musicians who took part.
The choir singing was especially fine
and a piano solo by Mrs. @. U. Knud-
son won her a hearty encore. The
ladies quartette composed of Mrs.
Kundert, Miss Muma, Miss Bucheis-
ter and Miss Dibble won merited ap-
probation for their singing. A bari
tone solo by Mr. Knudson was a feat
ure OF the evening. A reading by
Mrs. DeVries, entitled 1.-THE Wreck
of ar Ocean Steamship" vas delight
fully rendered. She is an elocution-
ist Of are ability and n Of the best
in the state. a solo by Miss Muma
won praise for that young lady. The
ow," and the choir closed the first
part Of the program.
During the intermissiOn the choir
went out and returned the happiest
looking lot of darkies we have seen
for some time. Brudder Smith re-
marked that he was the first darby
that eve had a white spot on top Of
the head where the hair didn't grow.
He forgot to run the paint brush over
that desert spot. Ed Wendt as Mis-
ter Jackson sang .Old Black Joe,''
and he dbl it we'll, putting in enough
plantation to make it sound good.
The Hilo quartette composed of Mr..
Smith, Mr.. Knudson, Mr.. Sand and
Mr.. Wendt rendered two songs that
were immense. Mrs. Lily White
Mrs. Knudert-sang Mammy's Hush
abye" very sweetly and the tone was
especially fine. Mrs. DeVries rem
dered a second selection charmingly
and the audience called her back.
She is a great favorite in Canton. The
Tennesseans, elegant in ebony hues,
closed with the sOld Folks at Home"
and everybody hopes the Concert will
be repeated at no distant day. The
proceeds of the concert go towards
purchasing music for the choir.

The brewers and distillers furnished
a large corruption fund to win a Ii
cense victory in every town in the
state, and part Of the booze money
found its way to Canton by a Canton
man who went after it. The license
element put up the strongest fight
ever put up all over the state and it
was done so quietly that the no-li-
cense element did not discover the
game until it was too late. This ac-
counts for so many small towns going
wet. They were swamped with booze
and blood money and didn't catch on
until the fight was over. The no Ii
cense people will never be caught
again.
