Tariff Revision Move in Favor of
Masses and Against Special
Privileges.
PROTECTION NOT FOR LABOR
Prominent Economist of Yale univer
sity Tells Why We Must Have
Radically Lower Rates.

1t Is promising sign CT the times
that the tariff question is again coming
to the front. Although it has been
thoroughly threshed over and WE can
not expect that during the next few
years any new arguments will be
brought forward on either side. much
can be accomplished toward sccur-
ing rational view OH the subject
by the public if the facts and statis-
tics gained from the experience CT the
last few years are properly set forth.
The public are not given to theories.
1t is only the exposure of "condi-
ton, not theory which will move
the average voter. Free traders have
laid too much stress on abstract Inaly-
sis. Flaws can be found, in fact. in
many of their theoretical conclusions
Nevertheless l do not think that there
is one economist out of a dozen who
has tried making an impartial study
of tariff conditions that has come to
any other conclusion than that the
tariff as existing in America today
needs to be revised radically in the I'll.
rection of lower duties. The wu.st
feature Of the situation is not that the
tariff is tax on the American CON
sumner or that it fails to keep up Amer
lean wages, but that it is a glaring ex-
ample of special privilege
l well remember the disgust With
which a wooden manufactures told me
of the barefaced way IN which r,ro-
tected interests presented their de-
mands to congress when the last i'm
portant tariff bill was under consider
alton. The congressional committee
did not attempt to balance pros and
cons. They did not even ask for the
ex partc arguments of the applicants
for protection. They merely asked.
What dc you want?" and granted re-
quests indiscriminately In other words,
under cover of the popular faith in
protection" political favorites, the pro-
tected trusts and other interests, who
had given or were willing to give
financial party support were allowed
TO dictate tariff legislation.
The tariff was supposed to act as
mother" to infant industries" Now
that the brood has grown up we are
realizing that the tariff is the mother
of trusts" Trusts are sufficient men,
ace without being artifcially fostered.
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies have been
mainly directed to secure the square
deal" to prevent the depredations OF
the "bis rascal" and especially to pre-
vent his control of political machinery.

1915. when John Long. his brother.
Aaron Long. and Granville Young
were taken from the Jail, which was
then located on the alley, back of the
street, to eXpiate their crime, the muir
der of Colonel George Davenport, on
the gallows. Elton C. Chopper. who
was d carpenter at that time, had
built the scaffold on the prairie at
place which is now near Third avenue
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets.
The condemned were escorted to the
scaffold by Sheriff Lem Andrews and
together placed on the trap, when
John Long pushed back the black cap
to see if his companions lad arrived,
who promised TO come 10 his rescue.
Nobody. however. appeared and in a
few minutes they were launched into
eternity
The bodies of the three murderers
were given to Dr.. Patrick Gregg, who
shipped two of them to friends in St.
>rns:is and Alton. but the body of John
lie was articulated by DR.. Gregg
~ his skeleton was 70: many years
in the high school, but was destroyed
by fire when that institution burned
o few years ago.
Amos F. Gutter bought the lumber
of the scaffoM and used 1t in the con-
struction of a barn, which still exists
and is located on, Fourteenth street
between Third and Fourth avenues,
back of the Cutter home
The second hanging in this county
occurred on July IS. 1885. when David
Stoddard was hanged for the murder of
his wife. Eliza. The scaffold was con-
structed in a hollow between Eleventh
ard Twelfth streets and south of
Tenth avenue. The she.rff was I. B..
Gorton. In April, 1857 Sam Ingram
was hanged at the same place by Sheriff
e. NJ Beardsley. The crime for which
he suffered the extreme penalty was
the murder of his wife. Hannah, near
Coal Valley, on the oath day of March
1882. William Heilwagon was hanged
in the Jail yard by Sheriff j. F. AUX.
rum, for the murder of his daughter-in-
/ law, Dora Heilwagon, near Hampton.
These four executions were all that
ever occurred in Rock Island county
and the locations as given above are
correct. Elton c. Chopper. who con-
tstructed the first three seaffolds. has
personally shown me the identical
spots where the scaffolds were erected
by him. The gallows for Heilwagon
in the yard of the present Jail were
erected by Stephen j. Collins

Where Davenport Murderers Were Hanged

A controversy was started recently
among the pioneers of the city as to
the exact spot where the murderers
of Colonel Davenport were hanged
and three different places have been
named as the spots where the men
answered for the crime. Charles File
Dig, who is one of the early citizen
and man who has made it hobby
10 collect all the local historical data
from the old men OF his time, has been
asked to set the story right and he
tells it as follows:

Weak on Economics.

President Roosevelt has said that
the tariff has 10 connection with the
trust question. Mr.. Taft says that the
Dingley act caused the prosperity OF
the last decade. And the panic of last
fall and the blighting depression that
followed-well. that was caused by too
much prosperity. Is it not time we
had q president who has put little

WILBUR WR|GHT'S
GREAT FLIGHT
At lie Mans He Successfully
Demonstrates His Perfect
Control Of AeropIane.
Travelled About Fifteen Nfilcs-Alight-

With Congratulations.

lie Mans, Sept. 5.--Wilbur Wright,
the aeroplanist OF Dayton. O.. made a
magnificent and highly successful fight
here this morning. His machine was in
the air for 10 minutes. As 2-5 seconds,
thus approaching within fraction of
minute Henry Farman's record for the
longest public official fight.
The distance covered by Mr.. Wright
was not accurately measured, but it is
estimated at between l41a and Is miles.
The feat was accomplished on the
field of Auvours and was accompanied
by a remarkable series of evolutions
demonstrating the precision of Mr..
Wright's control of the machine.
When he alighted easily within 800
feet of his starting place. the American
aeroplanist was overwhelmed with con-
gratulations. He said he could have
remained in the air longer, but he de-
scended on account of abnormal noise
made by the motor.

birthday on the ground to thus praise
this opponent of the church would be
stumbling block to persons OF weak
faith, meets with approval from only
limited section OF the press and the
public, the latter being represented by
the League of Russian People This
circular is virtually a second excoIn-
munication of the aged writer. The
Znamai and other newspapers condemn
1t unstintedly and scathing criticism
by the Novoe Nremya which usually Is
staunch supporter of the govern
ment, furnished a criterion of the tenn
per of Russian society in general.
The administrative provincial author
tiles are bestirring themselves at the
eleventh hour to check the observance

nors of the provinces of MOSCOW, War

that the Inflammation in his leg has

ever, he has become very weak and
greatly emaciated and he is barely

mental vigor is not impaired. The
counts Wife has issued an announce

The efforts OF the countess to pre-
vent the news Of the bitterness excited

band have been fruitless. He insists
upon seeing all the newspapers and
his grief at the harsh sentiments e&-
