Senator Scott Calls Attention
to Hlll'S Interview
Concerning
Tariff.
DEVtR|DGE WANTS
TOBACCO TAX RAISED
Says the Trust Keeps Prices UP is
1t Did When War Tax Was
In Force But the Gov
ernment Doesn't
Gain.

Washington, May 14.-Asking that
, an interview with j. j. Hill be read
to the Senate today after that body
convened, Senator Scott endorsed its
| advice to Congress that oratory be
suspended and that Congress prompt
ly pass a tariff bill.
This" said Scott, lis in line with
the letters 1 am receiving, begging
and praying that these gentlemen
(waving mis- hand over the Senate
chamber) get through their windjam-
ming and let the country go ahead
with its business"
Contending that the government
has lost $1S4.OOO,0O0 in the past
eight years through the repeal of the
war time tax of 1898, Senator Bever-
idge undertook by an amendment,
the increase of the present internal
taxes on tobacco. snuff, cigars and
cigarettes worth more than ten cents.
Beveridge declared that the trust
which he declared is the American
Tobacco company-has derived great
benefit from the loss of revenue,
which was due to the law repeating
the increased duties He declared
that the manufacturers still collect
the war time tax from the people but
that instead of paying it to the gov
ernment, the trust keeps it,
He asserted the proposed Increase
would not hurt the cigarmakers of
the country because it would not af-
feet cigars, except those over ten
cents in value.
He claimed that his amendment
would Increase the revenue $21.OOO,-
600 annually whereas the tobacco
trust is now reaping a harvest. He
declared that the manufacturers had
decreased the size of a plug of to-
bacco, thus making the consumer pay
the war time tax.
An extended discussion took place
on an amendment offered BY Cum
minis, reducing the duty on round
iron from 6-10 to 5-10 of one cent a
pound and on iron slabs, etc. from
4-l0 to $40 of one cent pound
Aldrich objected on the ground that
these duties are lower than the cur
rent duties in the Dingley bill. oliver
said that these products were ma1e
by Independent firms and Cummins
insisted that the iron and steel in
Gustries need no protection.
Hurry Up, Says Hill.
Washington, May IA. j. Hill
was visitor in Washington yester-
day and paid a visit to the White
House. where he spent some time in
a conference with President Taft. in
an interview, Hill said that the coun-
try is waiting now until Congress gets
through with the tariff, and that If
Congress will quit its oratorical con
test and pass a tariff bill. business
will again be resumed as in normal
times. He said:
"All eyes are turned on Washing
ten. Some people seem to think leg
islation will cure the toothache, set a
broken limb or make crops. Talk and
agitation here in Washington keep
people in suspense, makes them for
get their business and hope for some
legislative cure all What We want is
to have the tariff agitation over with
and let the people get back to work
and the great wheel of progress TO
turn. Then business viii begin to
hum. The outlook is good in all d-
rections."

KILL PREDATORY ANIMALS
Government Sets Aside $4,000 to
Hire Men to Kill Animals in the
Mountains This Fall.

Missoula, Mont, Aug. 13.-
The sum of So, 900 has been set
aside by the Forest service for
the purpose Of hiring hunters
to destroy predatory animals
upon the national forests in
District One. This is an in
crease Of 5000 over the amount
which was appropriated for this
purpose last year.
Forest service hunters are us
ually assigned to their work
early in the spring since they
can do more effective work in
destroying predatory animals at
this season than at any other
time Of the year because this is
the breeding season, and a
whole family of wolves or coy
otes can be easily destroyed
when the dens are once located.
During the past spring hunt
ers were employed for a period
4 Of one to three months upon
the Helena, Absaroka, Jeffer-
son, Gallatin, Custer, and Bit
ter Root national forests In
4 Montana, and the Nezperce for
J. est in Idaho, and succeeded in
\ killing eleven bears, forty-foul

THE GoMPERs CASE.

Wright and SET the defendants free.
The freedom Of the press is violated
by the decision, and tina. is guaranteed
by the Constitution of the United
I, States. Trial by jury was refused to
the defendants, and that is the pal
ladium Of liberty. The defendants
acted throughout on the advice OF their
counsel and if they committed wrong
their legal advisers are responsible,
and not they. This is common sense
view of the case without consulting
any attorney. In addressing the court,
Samuel Gompers said, among other
things:
Il am not conscious at any time
during my life Of having violated any
law. 1t is not possible to say that

be permitted to say this: That free

Any one who has read the decision
Of Judge Wright and the address of
Samuel Gompers to the court cannot
but admit that the labor leader is a
far bigger man than his prosecuting
judge. 1t makes no difference whether
Gompers and his associates arc tech
nically guilty of violating a court in
junction: they were entitled to !, fair
trial and fair treatment ut the hands

judge shows that he was not compe-
tent to act in the case. We respect
the courts, but it is difficult at times
to respect the judges. About the an
tecedcnts OF Judge Wright we know
nothing. We are simply forming our
opinion front his language.
Giompers and his associates are hon-
orable citizens, representing a good
cause, and we predict that they will
never serve the sentences OF inprison-
ment passed on them by Judge Wright.
Let the highest court give q final de-
cision, and the people will be satisfied
with the result. The defendants are
now out on hail ard by their conduct
show their respect for law as inter-
preted by this Judge Wright. They
must not petition the president for
pardon, but fight out their case IN the
court of last resort. They have mil
lions OF synlpathizers outside the
members of organized labor who are
ready to help them in righteous
cause. Government by injunction
must so. and in the words of Lincoln.

Sixth-We believe that action should

North Dakota to suppress Volume l. of
the Collections Of the State Historical
Society of North Dakota inaslnuch
as said volume contains most ridicu-
lous stuff, purporting to be history,
from page 200 to page 292 inclusive,
much of which is detrimental to the,
Catholic church. Let one quotation,
(page 223) suffice: "A form of Penn
mican that was considered great
deltcacy was prepared by the Indian
women by melting the Sat of the buff
falo and mixing in it shreds Of the
buffalo meat, pounded soft, and quanti-
ties of the wild cranberrles This was
poured into buffalo paunches and kept
until it became hard and cold.

who came from Minnesota and Canada
before the establishment If missions on
this side of the line. to accompany the
half breeds and natives on their an
nual hunts, used this species OF pemmi-
can as d substance for bread in the adj
ministration Of the sacrament Of holy
communion while out in the prairies."
Such silly stuff, with very much more
of the same kind, costs this state $3.50
annually, and we priests with our peo-
pie feel justified in protesting against
such an expense, which makes us ridic-
ulous.
We ask you, as bishop of this do
cese. to forward this. our complains,
to the governor Of this state, and we
remain. your obedient servants.
