being constitutional disease, requires a

The Temperance Movement.

Aside from the question OF morals, the
people of this country are rapidly having
their eyes opened to the economic side
of the saloon question. 1t is we'll
known fact that nearly all of the impor-
tant railways of the country now abso-
lutely forbid their employees from drink
ing, whether on duty or off, and for
railroad man to be seen in saloon is am
pie cause for his dismissal. The great
manufacturing concerns are now realiz-
ing that dissipated man cannot give fair
service in exchange for his wages, and
even moderate drinkers are not desirable.
A striking illustration has just been
made public at Sharon, Pa, where the
Carnegie Steel Company has put up large
posters all about its mills, warning its en-
ployees that they must not drink in sa-
looms during working honrs or at any
other time. II is also announced that in
making promotions preference will be
given to total abstainers, and that men
who have fondness for whiskey and
who think they cannot get along without
beer are to be weeded out of the compa-
ny's employ. Other large concerns are
taking up the question, and the man who
supports the saloons is surely going to
lose his own support.
The report Of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau for the year ended June 80, 1909,
just made public, shows how greatly the
consumption of beer and whiskey has de-
creased because of the spread of the tenn
perance wave. In the taxes on whiskey
collected by the government there is a
falling off since the last report of s., 30,-
773, and on beer and other fermented
liquors there is an additional decrease of
2,3n ,205. These figures are for gov
eminent revenues only. The saving to
the people from the amount spent in the
saloons will run far up into the millions.
The liquor interests of Staunton, Va,
will contest the election of July I'D, by
which the town went dry by a majority

Robert Wicks, of Rush Run, bookkeeper
for the New River Galleries Company,
was held up and robbed near Thurmond,
w. Va, by masked man who stepped
from behind big rock and demanded
that Mr.. Wicks hand over package he
had that contained money for the payroll
of the Rush Run mine, amounting to
$4,3oI16. 1t was the custom that the
bookkeeper should go to the bank at
Thurmond at noon on Friday before pay
day and get his payroll from the New
River Banking and Trust Company and
take it back to Rush Run. Mr.. Wicks
got the money from the bank and took
the local Chesapeake and Ohio train at
2.30 p. m, and got off at Rush Run to
take the ferry across New river to the
mines. He and several other people,
among them several women, had seated
themselves in the boat when a masked
man stepped from behind rock and at
the point of his revolver made Mr.. Wicks
hand over the money for the payroll, then
commanded the ferry man to start across
the river, and stood watching them until
they had crossed over half way, when he
took to the hills. None of the party that
were in the boat was molested, AS soon
as possible the Baldwin detectives were
notified and fastened to the scene of the
crime, but no trace was found. The rob-
Der, in addition to his mask, wore false
beard and muStache.

THE new tariff bill as it comes from
the conference committee shows many in
creases over the scandalously high rates
of the Dingiey bill, and as matter of fact
the burden will be heavier under the
Payne-Aldrich bill than it is under the
present law. For instance, the duty is in
creased on hosiery, laces, clothing, cot
ton, hemp, soaps, plate glass, structural
steel, shingles, razors, pineapples, LEM
ons, cocoa, etc. The high rates OF the
Dingley bill are maintained on cotton and
wooden goods, chinaware and many 9TH
er necessities of life. On number of ar
icles there is reduction of the duty,
but as general thing it is so slight that
there will be no real relief to the people.
The bill robs the people "gwine and
comm" and our last state will be worse
than our first.

WE think that President Taft has failed
the people in the emergency created by
the prospective passage of the infamous
tariff bill now so nearly through Congress.
He seemed to exercise little or no influ-
ence when the bill was being formulated,
but his friends excused this dereliction by
saying, "Wait until the bill gets into con-
ference committee then he will show
his hand" The bill has now been in
conference committee and has gotten out,
and it bears no mark of improvement.
President Taft has done it little or no
good. The most that can be said of his
influence is that few isolated reductions
have been made here and there, but they
are so insignificant that the Presidents
warmest friends can hardly notice them.
1t is about as if the President had said !:
al am opposed to the corporations steal
ing half Of the peoples money from them;
will not stand for the robbery of more
than two-fifths."
What the people expect OF the President
is that he should stand against bare
faced robbery, against contemplate trick
cry. against inordinate greed; that he
should try to protect the consumer from
the hoggishness of the manufacturer.
He has failed to do this.
His big stick is only broken reed.

ONE evidence of the rottenness OF the
tariff bill is the fact that, despite the use
of whip and spur and threats and PROM
ises, there are many Republicans who re-
fuse to vote for measure that their sense
OF honesty and fairness will not permit
them TO support. The bill got a bare
majority in the House of Representatives,
despite the free use OF the party lash.

1T is not denied that the tariff bill is
rotten, but President Taft doesn't think
that it's quite rotten enough. He would
be doing public service if he would veto
it, for it bears harder upon the people
than the Dingley bill does.

THE long contest over the Payne-Al-
drich tariff seems about over, and accord
ing to programme the final vote will be
taken in the Senate today. Aldrich has
bullied or fooled sufficient Senators to in
sure the passage OF the bill, and with but
slight changes from his original design it
will become law The bill is SatiSfac-
tory to comparatively few Senators and
Representatives, but they seem willing
TO stultify themselves at theibehest OF the
corrupt party leaders who are backed by
the corporations. The rights of the con-
sumner have been ignored entirely, and the
bill, instead of being the result of wise
and patriotic craftsmanship, is simply a
plot OF the manufacturers to grab as much
as they can from the people. Those re-
sponsible for the measure ought TO be
turned out of Congress in disgrace, but
SO strong Is partisanship their evil deeds
