ford found him. Heart failure was the
cause.

HISTORY SHOWS THE TRUTH
Republican speIIbinders Can No
Longer Credit Prosperity to
the High Tariff.

President Taft had a good deal to
say in his speech-making tour of the
bounding prosperity of the west.
Rightly SO. Not only do government
records show s%tupendous advances in
western agricultural wealth, but Mr..
Taft, being o%bservant, could see plenty
of evidences at first hand.
There was a time when Republican
spellbinders attributed increasing
prosperity to the high tariff. But not
now. Records of national tariff history
are all against them.
A recent economic writer points out
that, in general terms, all the CONNER
cial panics since the war period have
resulted from high tariff rather than
low tariff. This was certainly so in
1873, and also in 1893-the latter com
ing during the operation Of the Nc
Kinley tariff, about a year and a half
before the Wilson law took effect.
The vests prosperity is in spite Of
high tariff, such as the Aldrich-Taf
bill levies.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City--has Just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, 1t is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been &C.
CURED by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex.
elusive use Of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per
haps the most important and far-reach.

of the tribunal which rendered it. No

As to the hessian Ely.

The Hessian fly is a German product
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. It is a long, rangy
Hy with a bite like a steel trap, and it
avs a pale blue, oblong egg at the

ay will eat anything from decayed

lat gent. This bird can perform a
iwo-step on sticky fly paper without
:rooking its toes, and is proof against
'ough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
J strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian

The Qualification Tour.

President Taft's Pacific coast tour
was to be n Of pacifcation. PA
cific," and qualification" do you get
that? A member of the Taft admins
tration who was as close to Roosevelt
as a man could be, said that President
Taft's trip to the Pacific and return
was going to be a trip of ~pacification
and many of the troubles that beset
the administration would be smoothed
out. 1T seems to me-" remarked a
Washington man, who is a close OBJ
server Of political events, that Taft
is scratching up a great many snakes"
Which reminds n of Steve Elkins'
famous advice, do not scratch up
more snakes than you can kill" This
Washington politician instanced the
Endorsement Of Aldrich, the indorse-
ment Ballinger, the Endorsement of the
central bank, the Endorsement of the
postal savings banks right in the teeth
of the bankers convention, the in
dorsement of the tariff law in the
states of the leading Republican op-
ponents of that law, and his speaking
In the Mormon tabernacle at Salt
Lake City. Altogether, he was of the
opinion that the president should be
more liberal in the use of his oil can
and not quite SO pronounced in his
~utterances and actions. He needs a
man like Loeb with him all the time
was the conclusion Of the veteran
Washington observer. 1t is the gen
eral impression that Loeb saved Roose-
welt on many occasions, but then, it
is well to remember that Roosevelt
was a mighty shrewd politician .

Judge Anderson's Decision.

But the important thing, the vital
thing, is that 1t is now decided. for all
time, we hope, that newspapers are re-
sponsible for their sayings and doings
in the place where they are published
and cannot be hailed to the seat of the
federal government or to some govarn-
ment post or reservation many miles
away from their homes, on the pre-
text of "libelling the government" Ex-
cept in the short-lived and most de-
tested alien and sedition laws, it has
always been held and it ought to be
held that 1t is impossible to libel the
government. Ours is not yet a mon
archy, whose ruler" can do no wrong,
and there is no lese-majesty law; not
even to oblige Mr.. Roosevelt could it
be held that federal ofice-holders and
those who are directly or indirectly
connected with the government are
immune from criticism.

the case the Republic will have died

"Cheapness."

mo more cheap meat."-Yesterday's
news.
More cause for gratitude. Only a
rtcheap man" would want cheap meat.
The higher the prices the happier the
people; this, we take it, is the creed
of sound American economists of the
prevailing school. Col. Albert Clarke,
for example, always insists upon pay
ing double the price asked for any
article which he takes a fancy to, and
Hon. Wilbur f. Wakeman has wept
gallons over an excess Of the cranber-
ny crop and the consequent temporary
lowering of the price. Those dark and
Democratic times are over, thank for

values his privileges and loves to have
them come high.-New York Sun.

HONESTY LEFT OUT
REPUBLICAN TARIFF PLANK
MEANT TO DECEIVE.
Unfortunate Thing Is That the tumble
Of Platitudes Was Taken by the
Voters to Have Real
Meaning.

Revision of the tariff to a revenue
basis was never promised by Presi-
lent Taft MOI the Republican party
platform" declared Editor s. A. Clark
Of the Carrollton Republican Record
the other day. He said it down at
Joplin, where the Republican editors
Of the state were trying to harmonic
with the party leaders in the matter
If electing a senator from Missouri.
Mr.. Clark is right. The president
has all along avowed himself a pro-
.ectionist, though he said in his in
augural address that revenue is sup
posed to be the main purpose of tar
If legislation. The tariff plank in the
Republican platform of last year didn't
promise anything. 1t was a tumble of
platitudes intended to fool the voters.
It said that the margin Of protection
should only suffice to cover the for
sign and domestic cost of production
plus a reasonable profit" to the
American manufacturer, the reason
ableness of the said profit being left
open to a wide latitude Of i%nterpreta-
ton.
Mr.. Taft was more explicit in the
promises justifying the expectation
that there would be a pretty general
revision downward, in the interest of
the consumer. And the result of it all
Is that the Republican congress and
the Republican president have put
into the Payne-Aldrich bill seven
devils" of monopoly protection, worse
than those which were invoked by
Dingley.
And while the American consumer
takes on a heavier burden of taxation
we are confronted with disastrous
trade wars in two continents. The
threat Is made that our pure-food
laws are to be used as tariff bludgeons,
and protection of the public health is
to be subordinated to the protection
of greedy American monopoly.-St.
Louis Republic.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid Of Coffee HEARTH

T.. L|FHF IL .aNA EEF A A.NHN.W
The injurious action of Coffee onthe
heart of many persons is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the tnonble. She writes:
My heart WAS so weak 1t could not
do Ills work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from tine table, and 1t would seem that
I would newer breathe again.
The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said ! mn,st stop 1T, but 1t seemed 4

helped me. The DIR. said the other day,
