NO BALM IN GIlEAD

From no less a source than one Of
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee of the house of
representatives, which is just now
employed in hearing evidence from
certain manufacturers and other in
terested men among the moneyed in
terests relative TO the proposed tar
in revision, comes the information
that the consumer is to have no re-
lief from the extraordinary high
prices which prevail and which have
prevailed in this country for the past
few years. The informant gives the
information that the jobbers and i'm
porters are the only ones who will
be benefited by the tariff revision
which the Republicans propose, that
they will be able to make more
money upon their wares but that
the consumer will not be able to not
ice the difference.
There is really nothing surprising
in this declaration, for the history of
the Republican party in dealing with
the tariff Is that it has at all times
played into the hands Of the moneyCd
man and allowed the consumer, the
small means to shift for themselves.
The result of this has been that the
moaeyed men have favored the Re-
publicans and the Republicans have
granted more favors to the monsyed
men. This sort of thing has pro-
gressed until the time has come that,
20 use slang expression, the labor
ing man has not been granted
look in. This sort of thing has pro-
gressed In the party until many OF
the Republicans themselves have be-
come disgusted and have declared in
favor OF tariff revision, but have not
come to the piont where they are
willing to break away from their
party and go with the party which
really means to revise the tariff so
you could notice It, ii there was only
some opening where they could break
in, So insistent did these Republican
tariff revisionists become that Mr..
Taft declared openly during his re-
cent campaign that he was for real
tariff revision, and under this prom
ise he won out in the election, the
Republican tariff revisionists really
believing that he meant what he said
while the stand patters,' as they are
called, discredited his statements and
believed that the Republican majority
in congress under the leadership of
Speaker Cannon could prevent radical
revision, even though Taft was in
earnest. H
Now we are informed that the
tariff is to be revised just a little.
but not SO we can notice It. This is

TALKED TO
A WOMAN
Morris Haas Told of His
Intention to Shoot
Heley. ta eh

San Francisco. CAL, Nov. IL
There has been no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the manner in which
Morris Haas procured possession of
the Derringer with which he shot
himself in the county jail Chief of
mediate subordinates are content with
the declaration that the prisoner
carried the weapon into his cell con-
cealed in his shoe. Other members
of the department and w. j. Burns
a special agent of the district attor-
ney's office, insist that this was inn
possible and that the pistol was hand
ed to him either by his wife, upon the
occasion of her visit, or by some 9th
er person.
Mrs. NJ Kohn. who had known
Haas intimately for 25 years, has in
formed the police that Haas acquaint-
ed her with his determination to
shoot Heney some time ago, and
that when he reiterated his intention
few days ago she threatened to
have him arrested. She identified the
Derriner as one of three pistols she
had known Haas to possess. Mrs.
Haas, when she visited the county
jail, was accompanied by Mrs. Kohn,
who however. was not allowed to APP
proach the prisoner closely. She stat
cd that she did not inform any one
Of Haas threat, because she feared
the anger of her husband.

What Others Say
unNN FEuDs START.

The Apostle Paul knew all about
how feuds start. He knew, also, that
the Romans were people VINO
were prone to resent insult, In a
letter to the Christians at Rome,
upon one occasion, he wrote: "lf II
be possible as much as lieth in you
live peaceably with all men. Avenga
not yourselves, for it is written:
''Vengeance is mine; will repay
saith the Lord"
But to this good day, neither the
Romans, nor the barbarians, nor the
H1ns,or the Celts neither the Euro
peans, nor the Americans have In
whole taken. the advice of the apos-
tie. and we thus, therefore, find men
I'M this fair land seeking to avenge
themselves upon their enemies, re-
gardless OF the statement that the
Lord will repay.
A feud that will not finally end
for a hundred years or more Is just
taking root in Tennessee. That
seems a long time for a feud 70
last, but it Is true that feuds drag
themselves along from generation
to generation, until finally the orig
In of the trouble Is lost in memory,
At this time, the origin of several
OF the Kentucky feuds are unknown,
and it Is not unreasonable to
state that perhaps some of those
feuds date back to period imme-
diately following the Revolutionary
war.
Down in the south the feud IS
more frequently referred to as bad
blood" between families. Thus yoa
will be told that there Is ''bad
blood" between two given families,

indeed bright prospect. Four more
years of high prices, four more years
of favoritism for capitalists, four
years more OF greater advantage for
the importers and jobbers with no re-
lief for the common people. Is this
the kind of tariff revision for which
the people have been clamouring? Is
this the relief from the grasp Of the
trusts and the money powers for
which the people have been praying?

HE q !
WAS A FORGER'
Prominent Real Estate Dealer in Chicago Arrested for
Forgery-Acknowledges His Guilt and is Sentenced
to the Penitentiary, all Within Three
and One half Hours.

Chicago, Noy. 17.-Peter Van Wis
singen, real estate dealer Tor y ars
classed among the first OF chioago s
prospectus and reputable business
memo yea tTdays confessedt to having
obtained through forged deeds and
notes more than 100000 and few
hours after his arrest, on his own
urgent appeal to be punish d. was
sentenced to the pen.
The arrest, the Indictment, the
confession and the sentence were the
work of less than four hours.
Taken in1lthe midst of business
from his office desk at l72 Washing
ton street shortly after 1.-THE neon
hour, Van V.4singen appeared b5fGre
the court and In tears confessed that
for from eighteen to twenty years ne
had been securing money through the
sale of forged documents and that
though he had bought back many OF
these spurious Instruments without
detection, at least twenty-five persons
would lose an aggregate of more than
100000 through the paper which he
has not yet redeemed.
In forging notes, he declared he
had perfected an unique device. THIS
consisted of plate glass desk top,
so arranged that by an electric light
thrown up from beneath he cou.d
readily trace from originals forged
signatures onto worthless paper.
Throughout his arrest and sentence
the prisoner made no effort to defend
himself, but only asked that his pun
ishment bo speedy. Asked II he had
anything to say before senteoe was
imposed, Van Vlissingen, bowling his
head, replied "only that | be given
my punishment at once" His term
in the penitentiary was fixed as in
determinate from one to fourteen
years.
Van Vlissingen, who is forty-five
years cd was married Feb. 4, 1907,
TO Mrs. Jessie Roosevelt Blend, who
was described at the time as a dis
tant relative to President Roosevelt.
The bride was a daughter of Wilton
c. Roosevelt, formerly the wife OF
man named Blend, Van Vlissingen
had been bachelor, living at the
Calumet club. He was known as be-
ing OF a philanthropic disposition
giving special attention to the well
fare of boys.
The specific charge which led up
to the spectacular arrest of Van
Vlissingen yesterday was made oy
two men who had bought forged
mortgage notes. Thay are 7, j. LET
ems and William c, Seipp. who have
offices in the same building as that
occupied by Van Vlissingen. To the
notes for $4,000 held by them were
signed the names of Joseph and Ber-
tina Grossman. AS was customary,
Van Vlisslngen copied the forged
papers from originals which he dis
posed of to other buyers. Lefens and
Seipp said they first became suspi-
eious OF the note last Saturday, but
took no action until today.
AL OF Van Vlissingen's accounts
were turned over to the Chicago
Title & Trust Co pending an inyesti-
cation of the exact extent of the de-
falcatlon Francs Lackner, counsel
for the complainants, said it would be
for several days TO make
