Meyer Wants Big Repair Ship to
Add to Fleets.

Washington, Nov.-In raising a
naval program for next year Secre-
tary Meyer will ask congress to pro-
vide for a repair ship equipped with a
complete machine shop for all ,emer-
gency work, or failing to get the re-
pair ship, the equivalent in cost Of
such a craft in torpedo boat destroy
ers. This includes in addition two
26,OO0-ton Dreadnaughts, which it
has long since been understood the
secretary would recommend.
The repair boat desired would have
a speed equal to the fastest battleship
afloat, so that in all cases it could
keep with the fleet. This program,
it is understood, will practically COM
plete the secretary's recommendation
so far as large additions to the naval
establishment is concerned. It was
desired to make additional recon-
mendations, but the presidents ac-
ton in cutting down the navy esti-
mates in accordance with his plan for
economy eliminated all other new
work.

His lie a Poor Defense.

Hon. Case BrOderick, who for eight
years represented this congressional
district in the lower house of con-
gress, has come to the defense of the
Payne-Cannon-Aldrich tariff bill pass
ed at the last session of congress.
Summed up and boiled down his
defense amounts to this: The cost of
living has not been materially increas-
ed and the farmers are prosperous.
What, we might ask, was the OBJ
iect of calling congress together in
extra session? If all the result OBJ
tanned is that the cost of living has
not been materially increased then
the session was certainly a failure.
What the people, the consumers, ex-
pected was that the cost of living
would be somewhat decreased. II
all congress accomplished was to
slightly increase the cost of living
then it was failure,
However, to our mind the impor-
tant thing to consider about this law
is not whether the cost Of living was
increased but whether the law is fair.
Does it give every man a fair deal?
Is there any reason why the shingles
that the citizen puts on his roof
should be taxed GO per cent? Is it
fair to put hides on the free list and
retain tax on the dressed leather
made from the untaxed hide?
Is there any good and sufficient
reason why cotton goods should be
taxed more than they were under
the old lawp Is there any reason for
an increase Of tariff on structural iron,
that is used by the people generally?
Is there any good reason why the
people of this blessed country should
be called on to make donation Of
80 million dollars a year to the sugar
trust which is made up Of a self-con-
fessed band of thieves? Is there any
reason why New England manufac-
turers should be allowed to write a
tariff bill for the rest of the country?
Is there any good reason why tariff
duties should be greater than the diff
ference of cost of production between
this and other countries?
The fact that the people are pros
pering under the operation of this
law is no argument at all in favor of
the law. The question to be answer
ed is, does it give the consumer fair
deal? No man as yet has had the
hardihood to answer that question in
the affirmative. A. McNeal to the
Farmers Mail and Breeze.

DID NOT BESTRIpE
SACRED ELEPHANT.
LongwOrth Denies Escapade At.
tributed to Wife.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 22.-The state
ment coming from Berlin, and hav-
ing as its sponsor Fraulin Ann Kroe-
bel to the effect that Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth when she visited Korea
with the party of Americans a few
years ago, had made all manner of
fun at the local religious customs,
was denied here Wednesday evening
by her husband, Congressman Long
worth.
Congressman Longworth said:
THE woman who wrote that Mrs.
Longworth rode about the capital of
Korea in breeches,' then jumped
astride the sacred elephant of those
people, and put cigar in her mouth
after which she asked me to take her
picture-the woman who wrote that
stuff was either drunk or crazy and l
should not be surprised to learn that
she was both.
Always a Real Lady.
Neither Mrs. Longworth nor my
self can remember any such occur
renee. | know that she was most
respectful to the Korean people and
carried herself as she always has, as
lady in whom refinement is more
than casual thought.
THE statement that she refused to
thank the emperor Of Korea for his
kindness is false. Both Mrs. Long
worth and myself have busted our
heads to-day in trying to remember
what was the sacred elephant, but
we have failed to find it If it exists,
it must be something very dear to the
Korean heart, and as such, neither
myself or my wife would do anything
to mar its beauty or its sacredness in
the minds of the Koreans.
Case of Mistaken Identity.
"You must remember that we were
very busy on that trip and that we
stayed only short time in any one
place. But | have been unable to fix
Fraulein Ann Kroebel in my mind
and Mrs. Longworth says she has
never heard Of her,
"Ask any member of the party if
anything like that happened. There
was lot of us and we stuck pretty
close to one another. Fraulein Kroe-
bel might have confused us with an
other party, and If she did l think it
very unwise of her to say that any of
us acted in that manner"

The Oiled Tongued CRATER Keeps
Ahead of the Procession.

~>- - WV A0&&1<,a0Ab
A number of Missouri towns have
been worked by CRATER who falls
on defective" sidewalk and pre-
tends to be much injured. He threat
ems damage suit and some towns
pay him small sum to avoid litiga-
ton. At Bolton guest at a hotel
caught onto the game and notified
the authorities. The injured man
was able to walk rapidly out of town
in thirty minutes.
Many Monroe county school dis
tricts are long on maps and short on
cash as a result of alleged misrepre-
sensations on the part of an agent for
well-known publishing house, This
smooth individual, it is charged,
would call on school director and
inform him of an elaborate series of
maps his house contemplated making,
the set to include map showing
every school district and farm in
Monroe county. But these maps
would not be published, the agent is
alleged to have stated unless 20 per
cent Of the school directors voted for
the company to go ahead. Scores of
the directors voted at his solicitation
and thought no more about it until a
set Of maps and a bill for $42.5 80 turn
ed up few weeks later. II then de-
veloped that the alleged voting slip
was an iron clad and promissory
note. Practically the same scheme
was worked in Bates county the past
summer.
If a smoothe spoken stranger
strikes you to join 100 Club, don't
bite. He dropped into Odessa the
other day and soon knew all the
young men in town by their first
names. To them he unfolded his
plan for providing for the proverbial
''rainy day." The-pl was to or
ganize a 100 club" consisting Of
twenty-five members, each one pay
ing him an entrance fee of Sl.0O,
there being no dues and in case Of
sickness, the members were to be as
sessed fifty cents per week each, the
same to be paid as sick benefits.
Twenty-Five young men fell for
this proposition in the course of a
day, and the smooth spoken gentle
man departed on the evening train
twenty-five dollars better off than
when he arrived. The boys are now
.eengratulatinq themselves that the
gent didn't tax them ten dollars

filed on April >, 1909, and since
then there have been constructed
numerous business and dwelling
houses, also an electric plant, which
not only furnishes light and neat,
but also power for pumping watec
from the Columbia river used in sup
plying moisture to orchard and gar

dents of the town are now talking

at an elevation of 100 feet, to be
filled by motor-driven pumping

BIG APPLE CROP.
Losses Showa in Southern states
Made Up BY Northern States.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 26.-Thirty-
five million barrels, or 1900 900
barrels more than in 1908, is the
estimated apple crop of the United
States and Canada this season, ac-
cording to Ben II. Rice, secretary
manager of the second national ap-
pie show in Spokane, Nov. 1920,
who added in giving out the fore
going:
While the quality of the product
east of the mississippi river is not
as good as last year, the crop will
be much larger and probably more
profitable. The yield in the states
west Of the Mississippi is lighter than
in 1908, but the fruit is of better
grade"
The International Apple Shippers
association has ISSUED an official
statement that the crop In the New
England states is 90 per cent in ex-
cess of 1908, while the yield in the
central states is about 7 II per cent
below last year, and the middle west
ern states report a crop double that
of last season, when the yield was
light
Growers in the southern states re-
port a crop of from 1875 to $50 per
cent larger than in 1908. The Pacific
group will have a smaller crop than
last year, but the decreases In Idaho,
Washington and New Mexico are
more than made up by the big yield
in Colorado, so that the western crop
will be fully as large as the pre-
vious season
Losses are shown in reports from
New York, New Hampshire, Kansas
and Oklahoma. Michigan and Wis
consisn and other states have gains.
The Dominion of Canada, not in
Guiding Nova Scotia, shows a gain
of rs per cent, and the crop In the
province of Nova Scotia Is fully as
large as In 1908, when bumper
crop was harvested.
While there Is no way by which
the crop can be figured to GER
tsinty," said Mr.. Rice. "the forego-
ing figures show as near as 1t Is
possible to get them what the yield
vii, be and they will govern prices.
There are Indications that the export
huslnesss from the Northwest VIII
lie larger than ia 1908, when many
q Dules we're sent abroad"
