Mr.. Daspit received n buckshot

Mr.. Daspit had stopped a moment
in front of one of the warehouses OF

with a friend. Just as they separated

screams of some ladies, simultaneous

Cotton, the Raw Material.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
The high price of the domestic
staple is followed by the importation
of an inferior class of cotton from
India by South Carolina mills. 1t
seems incredible, a carrying of Goals
t. Newcastle, yet Minneapolis mills
have imported wheat from Canada.
With the movement at the South for
~"revenue," as they call it, from raw
materials, how long before a duty
will be put on cotton from abroad?
In 1908 this country imported 1884
968 pounds of cotton, valued at S14,-
164,406, and waste of fiocks' to the
quantity of 49, 1913, 26S pounds, valued
at $446,264. On the other hand, iron
ore and basic Stag were imported to
the value of but $2,949, $50. Yet the
South insisted on a taxation for iron
ore and let cotton go free. But if In
dia, Egypt and the other countries
Mat grow cotton shall continue to
send to u markets 100000 bales per
annum We may be sure the South will
demand protection for cotton, and
when she makes that demand as posi-
lively and insistently as she did last
season for a tax on iron ore and wool,
she will get it. Nay, there is far
more argument for tariff on raw cot
ton than there is for a duty on wool.
-
Cotton, practically, is a complete crop;
wool is much of a by-product. Except
the flock masters of Texas, Utah, Wy
Oming, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Cali
fornia and a few other Of the far West
and Pacific slope countries, nearly all
sheep owners of this country are en-
gagged in the mutton business, and it
is a fact that a sheep on the farm Of
q man who knows his business would
return an enormous annual profit if
the animal produced no more fleece
than a pig. 1t was demonstrated at
the extra session of last spring and
summer that the manufacturers can
not get along without conceding to
the South and West taxed raw mate
rails. And cotton will be the next raw
material to receive that considera-
ton. 1t was only the ~forbearance of
the south that kept cotton off the
tax list In the Payne bill.

Quaker Scotch Oats
OF London,

duces a big-boned, well-devel-

His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Scotch Oats not only furnishes
the best food for the human be-
ing, but eating it strengthens
and enlarges the thyroid gland
this gland is intimately con-
nected with the nourishing
processes of the body.
In conclusion he says
1t seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the
Scotch has been in some
measure due to the stimulation
of the thyroid gland by oatmeal

The Folly Of the Subsidy Policy.

The Folly Of the Subsidy Policy.
New Orleans States.
The people Of the country should
indebted to Senator Newlands OF
Nevada for showing more clearly tina
any other public man has yet done
the folly and inconsistency of the ship
subsidy scheme. He has directed at
tention to the fact that under our pro-
tectiye tariff the United States cannot
hope to retain any large portion OF the
carrying trade except by requiring the
people to pay enormous and burden
some ship subsidies, because ships
built in this country cost twice what
they do If built in England. But aside
from this fact the wages and food OF
American crews would be much
higher, so that under present laws an
American ship of a given tonnage
must earn $12.750 more in a voyage Of
sixty days than an English ship In
order to make the same profit.
In other words, Senator Newlands
says II the foreign vessel received
1886 per ton for carrying coal for the
navy the American vessel should re-
cefve $3.50 per ton. Therefore to sub
sidize American merchant ships to
IN extent necessary to give them the
business would impose an intolerable
burden on the taxpayers Of the cOun-
try. Mr.. Newlands contends that the
nrotective tariff makes any subsidies
except such that would run into hun
dreds. Of millions Inadequate for the
alleged purpose Of the scheme. The
tariff raises the cost Of our protected
products on an average Of IS per cent
shove those produced abroad, and as
the purpose Of protection is to keep
foreign goods out Of U markets 1t
seriously hampers the export Of Amer
ican products to other countries.
hence It would be absurd to build up
With subsidies what we prevent by
eur tariff. unless the purpose be to
create : great ship trust to be fed out

physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Loril-
lard, Jr., aged 49, wife of the tobacco
magpate, committed suicide by
asphyxiation at her home near the

ing here to mourn over the unexpect-
ed blow In spite of the coroner's GER
tificate of death by suicide. members
of the family declare that Mrs. Loril-
lard died Of heart failure.
The death was made more dramatic
by occurring only a few hours after
Mr.. and Mrs. Lorillard had been the
guests of Mrs. Townsend on Massa-
chusetts avenue Fat a dinner given in
honor of Lady Paget. 1t is believed
that as soon as Mrs. Lorillard arrived
at her home shortly after midnight this
morning she began to prepare for
death. About $50 this morning the
butler detected an odor of gas. The
fumes were traced to Mrs. Lorillard's
apartments. Opening the door of the
bath room, just off of her suite. the
butler was Mortified to behold the body
of the mistress Of the house stretched
lifeless on the floor.
When Coroner hewitt informed the

to investigate the case, but was re-
fused admittance and told to inquire
of the coroner for such information as
the police might require. Mrs. Loril-
lard was subject to frequent attacks
