MAY GO BACK TO LANSING.
Charged With Perjury in Case Where
He Vas Awarded Damages.

Leavenworth. Kan, April 30
George Ray. the ex-convict who Sc
cured a verdict against the Kansas
City Western railway for several thou
sand dollars for personal injury while
in the employ of the company, will
not be allowed to escape the charge
of perjury made against him by the
officials of the company, without a
fight in the state supreme court. Ray
was released on writ of habeas
corpus by the district court in a hear
ing held after the completion of the
trial of the damage suit.
The charge of perjury was based On
the denial of Ray, while on the wit
ness stand under oath, that he had
served term in the state prison at
Lansing. The question was asked by
John H. Atwood, attorney for the
street railway company. Rays wife
and child were in the court room at
the time. This the ex-convict de-
clared the next day, seeking to cor
rect his testimony, was the reason that
he hesitated in admitting the prison
term.
Rays case aroused a high degree of
interest here when the prosecution
was instituted against him. Ray was
sent to the state prison from this
county several years ago on a convic-
ton of forgery.

PETER FENELON COLLIER

The Denver News pays this tribute
to the founder of Golfers Weekly:
Peter Fenlon Collier, the founder Of
Golfers Weekly, is dead.
There could not be more perfect
refutation of Marc Antony's pessimis-
tic nlaxims about mans evil living after,
while the good dies with him, than is
furnished by the life, work and death
OF Peter F. Collier If there were any
evil worth mentioning in that life, which
we doubt, it is dead, buried and for
gotten already. But the good goes on
goes on with a force which will prob
ably hardly be weakened by the passing

ly has for years been one of the nations
strongest forces for good government,
for higher standards of thought and
work and business. 1t fought splend-
idly for the pure food law, and when
that law was passed, went on to fight
the evils which no law can touch, and
which must be combated only with
light, and more light Such a paper
is worth more to a growing nation than
much fine gold, and such a paper the
nation owes to Peter. F. Collier. He
could not have done the work without
help, of course But never forget that
it takes brains to hire brains The best
title the departed publisher could ask
to fame is the character of the men he
gathered round him.
The presnt writer never had the for
tune to know Mr.. Collier in the flesh.
But it has often seemed as if, behind
the nervous prose of Norman Hapgood, !
and the tunefu1 wit of Wallace Irwin,
and the berserker battleax of Samuel
Hopkins Adams, one could catch |
glimpse of the man who had brought |
these men together, TO work for one |
cause 1t was a glimpse Of a strong, |
fervent, kindly man; man of shrewed |
wit and granite preiudices; man who
had noble hobbies, and rode them nobly |
in the open. 1t was the glimpse of a
man whose mind separated sharply the
things of faith from the things of
reason Right or wrong, this glimpse
IS one of the many impressions which
Golfers Weekly has left with faith

what it may chance to be worth.

REVISION UPWARD

Senator Aldrich announced in the sen
ate Thursday that there was no pledge
of the Republican party to revise the
tariff downward. This is mere quibble
of words and shows once more the du-
plicity of the plutocratic leaders Of the
Republican party The demand for re-
vision of the tariff came from the So
called granger states and was demand
that the tariff be lowered; demand
that the protection that has made multi
millionaires of the coal and steel and
lumber barons be removed. 1t was in
answer to this demand that the Repubh-
can revision plank was written; that
it was so written that Aldrich and his
gang of stand-patters could now make
the allegation that there was no pledge
of reduction was a thoroughly character
istic proceeding The plutocrat always
gets in joker in a Republican platform
How much longer will the American
people permit this man Aldrich, the
most able lieutenant the plutocrats ever
had. to write their tariff laws?
Senator Aldrich can be depended upon
to see that every trust receives a subsidy
and is guaranteed the right under the
tariff to levy tribute upon the American
people. That is the reason why he is
a senator of the United States. He is
there to serve Standard Oil and the
other interests and has the same con-
tempt for the common American citizen
as Vanderbilt expressed in the con-
temptuous remark, the people be
damned"
Benedict Arnold has been execrated
for one act of treason upon the field Of
war. but Aldrich has been guilty of
treason every day that he has served
in the senate because knowingly and will
fully he at all times has been the adroit
and crafty leader OF the forces that
have sought and obtained special privi-
leges in a land where such privileges
should be unknown. The legislation
that Aldrich has fathered has been re-
sponsible for the wealth of the country
now being in the hands of the few, while
hundreds of thousands of school child
ren in the large cities go breakfastless
TO school
Senator Cunmins asserts that Aldrich
is a more useful senator than Daniel
Webster was, while we regard him as
worse traitor than Benedict Arnold.
That such man should write the tariff
laws and be humbly followed by his
Republican colleagues shows degener
acy of a once great party that is astound-
ing

A gentleman, who arrived in this
city recently from Iowa states that of
a carload of people who were seeking
homes in the far west that FIVE families
got off at Minidoka for the Twin Falls
country and that all of the rest went
on to the coast, excepting himself and
family, who came direct to Boise. The
great advertising which the Twin Falls
tract has secured will rebound to the
benefit of that section for years to come,
and while we do not begrudge the
prosperity and growth that that section
is enjoying, nevertheless it is up to the
citizens of Boise to enter the advertis-
ing game in earnest, so that fair share
of newcomers may come to the Boise

MORE TARIFF FOLLY
WEAKNESS OF ARGUMENTS PRODUCED
BY HIGH PRIEST ALDRICH

The observations on the tariff of the
erudite and disinterested Mr.. Aldrich
stimulate most delectably the imagina-
ton of one who is disposed to delve
in the fertile fields of economic
thought 1t is a constant source of
wonder how man who has been at
the head and fount of revenue legisla-
tioin as many years as this learned
Trojan could have escaped so com
pletely from the requirement of any
vestige Of accurate information about
the laws of finance and wages, says the
Oregonian One of his retorts to Mr..
Bailey displays an innocence of all
sophistication which a cherub might
have envied "Mr. Aldrich retorted that
whileBailey was ready to keep the for
eign laborer from our shores, he was
not averse to allowing the product of
this cheap labor to come into competi-
ton with the product of American work
ingmen" Evidently Mr. Aldrich has
never heard of the astonishing fact that
the products of the American working
men have invaded the realms of cheap
European labor and are underselling
the pauper workman in his own home
If our labor can send its products to
Europe and there sell them for less than
the pauper has to demand, need he fear
the competition of pauper products
which must be shipped across the ocean
and pay the freight?
Mr. Bailey is right about this matter
and Mr. Aldrich is wrong. 1t is not
the competition of pauper-made goods
which the American workman has to
dread. He can, with his skill and in
telligence, make goods cheaper than
the pauper can. What he has to dread |
is the competition of the pauper him
self who invades the country and |
beats down the rate of wages and the
standard Of living. Every man at all
familiar with the facts knows that the
tariff is not the cause of high wages.
On the contrary. high wages are the
cause Of the tariff, or one of its causes.
Wages are neither raised nor lowered
by import duties, but the purchasing
power of wages is most disastrously af-
fected by them The tariff diminishes
he purchasing power of every dollar
earned in this country 1t pretends,
among other things, to protect corn to
La axyfart - carfe !, b.,rLa1 hut fbfc
,retense is humbug What it really
ioes to corn is to cut in half the
amount Of manufactured goods for
which each bushel can be traded. Per-
laps, however, Mr.. Aldrich does not
mean to deceive anybody when he
alks nonsense about the tariff, and as
/ matter of fact he doesn't deceive
'ery many people.
