and have to use cotton fabrics more
and more and have been compelled to
do so for several years past"
This is a truthful statements of
facts. The people of the United
States who toll for a living have been
taxed out of the use of wool into the
use of cotton for clothing, and now it
is proposed to tax them out of cotton.
What will then happen to them is not
easy to say. The Ubiquitous duties Of
100 per ceIt. on wooden goods have
been a great benefit to the manufac-
turers of cotton goods, because the eff
feet of the tax was to force people to
use cotton instead of wool, but the
scheme of the new tariff is to push up
the already high prices of cotton
goods.
There is much said by the tariff
grafters about 1.-The American stand
ard of living, but the higher duties
and prices will lower the standard
considerably in the next year or two.
We have also heard a great deal about
a cheap Goa making a cheap man,
but the tariff makers have forced mil
lions of workers in this country into
the cheapest and poorest quality of
clothes. Evidence is not wanting.
however, that the country has reached
the conclusion that there is and can
be no justification for tariff legislation,
the effect of which is to tax the life
out of people for the benefit of a few
wooden and cotton manufacturers.
All things considered it is not sur
prising that the correspondents at
Washington should report to their pa
pers that every trust in the country is
satisfied with the Aldrich bill, because
they were given all they wanted in the
way OF tariff bounty. But There is an
abundance of evidence that the people
are far from being satisfied with the
higher taxes imposed on them As az
answer to tier prayer for relief, and
when they go to the polls next year
they Will express their dissatisfaction
in a way that will be disastrous to a

The Secret Of Prize Winning Pastry.

Fourteen prizes (nearly all of them
frsts) out of fifteen entries of cakes and
fine pastry is a record hat any woman
might envy. This was the showing made
recently by Mrs. J. H. Chastain, 2ee S.
Boulevard, Atlanta, Ga, at the Georgia
State Fair. Her explanation of her sue
cess is decidedly interesting; she writes
Il entered nine cakes and six pies at the
Georgia State Fair, Atlanta, Ca won eight first
premiums on cake, three first premiums and two
seconds on pies, also first premium on general
display. l attribute my success in cake making
altogether to using COTTOLENE and not
butter"
Mrs. Chastain is the wife of the Master
Mechanic Of the Western & Atlantic R R.,
and enjoys a high local reputation for her
fine cooking. Not only does she use
COTTOLENE in making cakes or crusts,
and other pastry; but for frying chicken,
fish, ETC., she finds it u~nequalled. For
over nine years she has not had a pound
of lard in her house, using COTTOLENE
exclusively.

Furnishing THE SUGAR TRUST.

The New Orleans States, comment
ing on the recent conviction and fin
ing of the Sugar Trust ~s134,00 says
among other things:
1T was a great swindle that the
trust perpetrated on the government
by mean of 'doctored' scales and false
weights, but it is too much to hope
that the general public will be ben
Gifted in any way by the punishment
of the There is little reason
to doubt that the trust will devise a
way to make the consumers of sugar
pay the fine of 1884. 900 which the
court has imposed on it."
In other words the people will pun
ish the trust by filming themselves.
Which suggests that it would be lots
cheaper for the people TO put the trust
officers in Jail.

The Tax on Cotton Goods.

WV OAASo1o otdtCo.
The country is aware of the fact
that the Aldrich tariff bill was pre-
pared behind closed doors and with
the utmost secrecy for the benefit of
the protected interests and especial.
ly those of the New England States.
The duties on cotton goods have been
Increased, which means an increase
of the price to the consumers who are
thus compelled to contribute still
more money to the constituents of
Senators Aldrich, Hale and Lodge. In
q protest filed by a committee repre-
senting the exporters and importers Of
New York against higher duties on
cotton goods the following statement
IL made:
This proposed advance hits at the
home Of every American workingman,
means more money for the cheapest
Grade Of clothes the family uses to-
1ay. The great majority-of the mass
cannot xaRord wool goods for
elothss for the women and children

Fashionable Tariff Thieves.
New Orleans States:

New Orleans States:
A scandal of international proper
tons has developed by the attempts
of certain prominent society leaders
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
and Washington to smuggle into the
country costumes of fabulous value
constructed by famous Partisan design
ers. The costumes inspected at New
York unearthed an attempt to defraud
the government out of the duties on
certain trunks containing rich Paris
ian gowns. These trunks were seized
by the custom officers in accordance
with the law, which action on the part
OF the government officials was I'M
warranted impertinence, in the eSti-
madtion of the scandalously rich
persons who were implicated in the
attempt to swindle the government
out of its just dues.
These same "scandalously rich"
feel not the slightest conpunctions of
conscience in taking advantage of the
tariff to make the millions of Ameri-
can -wage-earners pay far in excess
of the real value of every necessity OF
life, and yet when it comes to their
bearing a very insignificant part of
the burden of the tariff which was
levied for their benefit they try to
swindle the government out of it.
There is small wonder that these peo-
pie SO long accustomed to control the
making of tariff schedules, should at
last act upon the theory that tariff
duties were not made to be applied to
them.
The Republican tariff schedules
have been construed always with the
view of benefitting the rich
and taxing the poor, hence these swell
society tariff thieves were not far from
that policy when they sought to do
without warrant of law exactly what
they have been doing by authority of
law during all these years. They were
diudLCu anu UCCdtlc lluiSiidLI WHICH,
they discovered that the custom Off
Gals actually proposed to make them
pay tariff duties-they for whose ben
eft the tariff law had been written.
We have not been an ~extravagant
admirer of Mr.. Loeb, who is the new
Collector of the Port of New York,
but in all fairness he is entitled to
cOmmendation for the firm stand he
has taken in this matter. The articles
imported are reputed to be worth
about $55, 900, and when the trunks
were held UP an offer of 500, 900 was
made to drop the investigation which
had been started to discover the iden-
THY of the smugglers. This was re-
fused and shortly afterwards an offer
of $3.50, 900 was made, but Mr.. Loeb
remained firm. All offers have been
refused. "We want the smugglers,"
was the laconic comment of the col
lector. Evidently Mr.. Loeb is on a
warm TRAIL" and the developments
will be watched with great interest
throughout the country, the public
being anxious to ascertain the iden-
tity of these swell society smugglers.

". McKenna Phone Engineer
Working in Kenosha to
Test Excess Fare
WOULDN'T PAY EXTRA Fare

William McKenna, telephone engi-
neer at present working in Kenosha,
will file a complaint with the Wiscon-
sin Railroad Commission against the
extra fare of ten cents charged by the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Railway
Company to passengers on limited
trains He holds that the company has
no right to make this extra charge and
while the engineer is not the first per-
son that has questioned the right to
make the charge, he will be the first
one to lay the matter before the State
Commission. McKenna came to Ke-
nosha from Milwaukee on limited
train on Wednesday, He, however, re-
fused to pay the added ten cents. The
conductor used some pretty vigorous
language, but McKenna remained on
the train until it reached Kenosha and
then at once took up the matter of
referring the question to the Commits
sion.
The attorneys of the company claim
that the company is perfectly protected
in this matter as the excess fare is
clearly advertised by the company and
that when a passenger enters the car
he does it with the understanding that
he shall be required to pay the extra
fare.

Defeat Kenosha Elks in Base
Ball Game at Annual Clam
Bake on Wednesday
SOCIAL SESSION ENDS DAY

Not the least interesting of the
dozens of features at the Elks clam
bake on Wednesday afternoon was the
base ball game between teams repre-
senting the Kenosha and Racine lodges
which was won by the Racine lodge
by score of to O. Congressman III.
A. Cooper and Judge Hugunln, both
members Of the Racine lodge, acted
as umpires for the game and Racine
won the game through the umpires In
the fifth inning these two distinguish
ed umpires allowed two foul balls to
stick for home runs and then the
game broke up.
The bake was by far the most sue
cessful thing of the sort ever pulled
off in Southern Wisconsin and the at
tendance reached the high mark of
over 300. Col. P. Vidvard of Fox Lake
who put on the bake won his way into
the hearts of the Elks for everything
was cooked to a nicely that made a
great hit with the crowd of hungry
lodge men. The long tables were load
ed down with everything that the sea-
son afforded. just to keep the inter
est going during the wait for the
bake to be open, Frank Conley and
Harry Forbes went on for limited
round boxing bout and the decision
went to Conley by a big margin.
After the bake was served an old
time social session was inaugurated
about the big tables and it was long
after midnight when the speech max
ing ended and the Elks started for
home.

ASKS SUPPORT HERE
The Agents Planning Great
White Way" Here to
Interest Capitalists
MUCH STOCK TO Be SOLD

'FsThe Great White Way" meaning
a combination automobile, trolley and
public road, to connect Chicago, Wau-
kegan, Kenosha, Racine and Milwau-
kee, besides all other cities and villages
along the lake shore, is again being
agitated. Mr. VILLAS, one Of the
representatives of the corporation
which is back of the movement, visited
Kenosha Wednesday, night his object
being to interest Kenosha people, that
is to induce them to take stock in the
enterprise. The idea is to construct
the way on business basis by public
corporation.
Practically this "Great White Wayn
if constructed, will be continuation
of the Sheridan drive, but the building
of the road is contemplated without
taxation. The plans call for a road
to be electric lighted and one of the
most beautiful driveways in the world.
1t will give one hundred miles of unin-
terrupted drive with no grade crossings
for vehicles or pedestrians. The
Chicago Milwaukee Road and Realty
Company is back of the project. This
company gives details of the cost per
mile of the proposed road; the value
to the truck farmer; increased value
of property, etc.
Whether Kenosha capitalists win
take stock in the road is uncertain as
yet, but all admit that such driveway
would make Wisconsin and Illinois
along the lake shore, one of the most
prominent localities in the country. 1t
is understood that a meeting will be
called soon at which wealthy men and
farmers will be invited to attend and
hear the discussions for and against
the improvement.

TO STUDY BANK LAWS
Special Committee Will Go to Look In
to Insurance on Deposits

Another of the Wisconsin legisla-
tive committees will make trip. The
special committee which has been Sc
lected to investigate the subject of in
surance Of bank deposits is planning to
visit Oklahoma and take testimony
there in regard to the workings of the
insurance Of bank deposits law now in
force in that state.
Correspondence is now being held
with the bankers of Oklahoma in re-
gard to the time when it would be
most convenient for them to appear be-
fore the committee and it is likely that
the proposed hearing will be held the
third week in September, as it is under
stood that the committee can arrange
to meet a number of prominent Okla
homa bankers during that week.
On its return trip the committee will
also visit Nebraska and discuss with
Nebraska bankers the law that has
been passed in that state but whose
enforcement has been suspended by in
junction.
At meeting of the civil service
committee held last week in Madison
it was decided to exempt the positions
of committee employees for the special
legislative committees from the civil
service rules for the reason that the
places are only temporary and in
many instances a special kind of ser
vice will be required.

WANTS AFULL REPORT
State Commissioner of Insur-
ance Makes Demand of Lo-
cal Insurance Companies
ACT FDR THE POLICY HOLDERS

In the annual report of the commits
sioner Of insurance on local mutual fire
insurance companies issued last Satur-
day, Commissioner Beedle says:
The department will insist that a
full report of all policy fees, etc., be
made by all mutual local fire insurance
companies in order that the total ex-
pense to policy holders in each com
pany may be fully ascertained."
A law was enacted by the last session
of the legislature which requires all
policy fees collected to be fled and al
so limits the same to an amount. The
report shows the business conducted
and conditions of all local mutual fire
insurance companies doing business in
the state.
The total amount Of risks carried by
all the mutuals during the year was
$428,954,3 1853; losses paid, 1868, 12843;
expense of management, 1926, 468.75;
total costs, 1929, 597.18. The total
receipts from this source were $780,
7581O, varying from $85299 in June
to 1862, 103.98 in February.
The expense of the insurance de-
partment for the calendar year of 1908
was: Salaries, ST. ,499.92; other ex-
penses, including postage, express, tele
graph, printing, etc, $12,978.66, MAX
ing total of $50, 478.58.
The report continues relative to the
law under which no agent is permitted
to give rebate to any policy holder
of any commission on the premiums
collected by him. "This law applies
equally to stock and insurance COM
panies. "
"In mutual company where all the
policy holders are on the same basis
there is every reason why no favor
should be given to one policy holder
and there is no reason why an agent
should not actually collect the compen-
sation which the company provides for
also.'
