Death of Harry Curry.

Despairing of ever being able to CON
quer a failing that periodically blasted
his hopes, withered his ambition and
impaired his physique, Harry Curry
blew of the top of his head with a
shotgun yesterday morning at his
home, 322 North Front street. The
reason set forth is the belief of his
family and intimate friends, who were
cognizant Of his hopeless dependency
when ever he issued from seasons in
which he INDUCED his single short
coming
Charles Oury, a brother who was
on boat down Black river; Mrs. Ed
Shea of Memphis and Mrs Emma Oury
of Little Rock, sisters, arrived last
night. Another sister Mrs HART, of
New Orleans, could not come. A
brother, w. L. Curry of Little Rock
was unable TO attend the funeral

Mr.. Curry was we'll known here in
his boyhood days, being the son of Mr..
VIII Curry, formerly proprietor of the
Forrest City Times. Many of his old
acquantances join the Times in ex-
tending sympathy to the bereayed
family and relatives.

Raise More Corn.

To encourage our customers to
plant more corn we propose to give

corn on or before November Is,

our farmers will ever prosper as
they should until they raise more
corn. More corn means more hogs
and smaller store accounts. Millions

UNDER PROTECTIVE GLASS.

Even the "pineapples under glass"
argument of the, Free Traders has
been knocked out by the actual
results of Protection. 1t was once

thing imaginable was to attempt the
encouragement of the production cf
pineapples by a Protective Tariff,
but the preposterous has been
achieved, and Florida today pro-
duces Jas, 900 crates of the delight

point, the vast production has re-
suited in making pineapples, which

owners of slender purses, the fruit

BRISTOW AND TAFT.

The Leavenworth Times, Cor
gresham Anthony's paper, accuses
Senator Bristow and Others who
oppose the corporation tax sugges'
ton of President Tafps of being in
a low down scheme to defeat Mr..
Taft for denomination.
One of the regrettable things in
Kansas politics is the personal drift.
There isn't the first reason for sup
posing that Senator Bristow is op-
posed to President Taft for renoml-
nation, merely because Senator
Bristow does not endorse all the
things In the corporation tax bill.
Mr.. Bristow is an independent man
who does his own thinking. That's
why he is there, drawing $24 per
day from the national treasury.
We need to get away from the fool
notion that mans standing a.
Washington shall be gagged by the
purely accidental question as to
whether he agrees In all matters
with the President or with the
speaker of the house or doesn't
agree with them.
Mr.. Bristow's objections to the
corporation tax bill were all logical.
This is proved by the fact that
amendme ents to the bill were yester-
day introduced by friends of the
bill to meet the principle objections
Senator Bristow urged. When Mr..
Bristow urged these objections he
was doing his duty as paid law
maker. When Congressman An
thony accuses him OF doing it to
start fight on the President, Mr..
Anthony is merely talking cheap
politics.
This country has made failure
of free government if man in tie
house or senate cannot freely voice
his honest sentiments in reference
to general legislation without being
"Against the President"
The Beacon believes in Mr.. Taft /;
it supported him and is likely to do
so again; but the Beacon does not
believe Mr.. Taf,'s suggestions to
congress on all matters should be
taken by the members as the final
word of wisdom. If a member is
not allowed to use his own mind
even in honest argument with the
President then why have house
and senate Why not just leave it
all to the tresideni2- Wichita

SANITATION BUNCOM6E.

Sp .akins personally, and without
any intent to commit the paper to
our own ideals, we are for pure food,
pure drugs, pure water, pure hearts
and pure gold. But continually the
thought obtrudes itself that in all
this hue and cry about sanitation,
all this official eff f)rt to conserve the
public's health, there is much
"bunk." DR.. Crumbine, as an
instance, is a good man and brave.
But DR.. Crumbine is a faddist on
sanitation, and every faddist is over
Jealous and goes too far.
We are moved to these remarks
by the hullabaloo recently raised
over the public drinking cup on
railway trains. The State Board of
Health, upheld by the Attorney
General, has abolished this cup.
The travelling public has been using
it for fifty years In the face of a
continually decreasing death rate.
1t has continued to be reasonably
healthful, hearty and happy. But
DR.. Crumbine has decided that the
cup is unsanltary and it has been
eliminated from the brief list of
conveniences which the railways
provide for the travelling public.
Hereafter, when you travel you
must carry your own drinking
utensil or go thirsty. The broba-
bilities are that you will go thirsty,
for travel is hard enough when it is
unencumbered by tlnware. And
we venture the assertion that from
the abolition of this convenience
there will result in the space of one
year more suffering and misery than
has com from its use In the last
fifty. The spectacle of tired women
and children travelling on through
the hot summer day deprived of
water merely through the inadver-
tence of having left their private
drinking cup behind them is not a
pleasing one.
For one, speaking again as an
individual, this paternalism to
which we, the people, have sur
rendered in the name of the public
good il beginning to pail. We
tire of having our life officially con-
served and ordered. We hold that
if we choose to partake of cooling
draughts of aqua pura from the
common drinking cup on railway
train it is nobody's business but our
own. Let those who fear inocula-
ton provide themselves with private
mugs and stems. DR.. Crumbine
should leave the balance of us to
our own devices. Much of the
hullabaloo resounding in our ears is

free men or are we slaves2-Topeka

CLEVELAND'S MISTAKE.

These opinions of the Senator
from Arkansas are substantially
those taken by Grover Cleveland in
his message to Congress during his
last Presidential term. But Cleve'
land made the statement that the
consumer had to pay the price OF
the foreighn article with the duty
added, when the fact is that there
are many products consumed in this
country that are bought for less
price than the duty paid on them.
The Tariff does not regulate the
price of products that are sold. 1t
is the relative supply and demand
that regulates the price. Conse-
quently, under a Protective Tariff
nearly all of the manufactured pro-
ducts OF the country are sold cheaper
than they were before the Protective
system was adopted. When the
production of any kind of products
is increased, the demand, being the
same, the price is practically les
sened, whereas if the demand is
increased and the production is not
increased prices would be raised.
The increased production of all
products has a tendency to keep
prices down regardless of the Tariff.
Consequently the consumers of this
country are taxed less under
Protective Tariff than they are
under Tariff for revenue only or
Free Trade.
The Tariff that is a tax on the
people of this country is the one
that places the least Protection on
the article. If we have Free. Trade,
the people of this country have to
compete with foreign countries that
get their products made at half the
expense 1t costs in this country, and
the greatest loss would be to our
people, because the gold and silver
that aas to be paid for foreign pro
ducts goes out of this country and
the people Of this country suffer the
loss.
If we Import ST, 900, 600, 900
worth of goods without any Tariff
at all, it would take that amount of
gold and silver out of this country
and send it to foreign countries. If
we had Free Trade the Government
would have to put a tax on the
people to pay every dollar of the
expense for running the Govern
ment. Economist.
