rHURsDAY. APRIL 3s, 1908. i,
The esteemed contemp0rar,.. au ov,

The esteemed contemporaries all ovcr the country are writing editorials of more or less learned length and thun- dering, sound" concerning what most of them term 'sthe crisis in Turkey" The less one knows about affairs and conditions in that, country the more he can write about 1t. as general thing. and as. a matter of fact, mos: of then, know but little. One great trouble about writing editorials on that suh- 5ect is that changes are so sudden that the editorial may be out of date before it is read. That the affairs of that country and the events happening there are of great interest to ali the civilized
 world is beyond doubt. but it would take wise man to keep up with them
 just at this time. The editor who thinks he canawrite lucid account os Turkish affairs. or make anything even approaching correct prediction of tho outcome is very likely to have several more thinks coming to him in the end. In fact. Turkish conditions and proba- bilities are almost as uncertain as the tariff question seems to be. ..

A PATENT HusrRue.

We hear sthings said among our Re- publican brethren about a free break fast :tabis"a It sounds good. and as they cut off the duty on tea and cof- fee. or 1t is supposed to be taken off. they boast no little of how they are going to let the dear people enjoy their food without paying tariff duties. Is their claim well founded? Here is a sort of compilation from The New Bed- ford Standard on the subject:
 Oranges and grape fruit. one cent a Buckwheat, Is cents a busheI: buck wheat flour. 26 per cent ad valorem. Grains. which so to the preparation of breakfast foods. various duties, but none without duty.
 Eggs. cents a dozen.
 Butter and substitutes therefor.
 MIX. fresh. 2 cents a gallon. cluding weight of immediate covering,
 Pickles. 40 per cent ad vaIorem.
 Potatoes, 25 cents a buBheI
 Bacon and hams, cents a pound.
 Meats, all the way from 1 f-3 cents pound to 26 per cent ad valorem.
 Salt, IF cents hundred pounds. EGPp0Es OU per cent A0 valorem; ground. 1-2 cents a pound and 30 per cent advslorem.
 We think it will be admitted by all who look over this list that there is little in 1t to justify the Republican claim that they are going to give the American people free breakfast table. Just what changes will be made in the bill, no one can say. but as it now stands all who eat are called on to pay well for 1t. Giving the people tea and coffee free of duty. if finally done, may be the Republican idea of a free break fast table, but 1t lacks much of being the real thing
 The truth of the matter is that the party in power Is facing a very serious situation. The reckIess-if not ac- tually criminal-extravagan of the late administration brought on a con dition in which the daily deficit changes only as to amounts. The expenditures continually exceed the receipts, as the daily treasury statement shows. It is
 
 nitely without ruin to the country. and it Is up to the Republicans to find a remedy. Added to the various other req Vons for diminished revenue is the loss of internal revenue caused by the spread of prohibition. In short, ex- travagant expenses increased and re- ceipts diminished. and now they must find the remedy, and the only one that presents itself Is the tariff. They never seem to think that it would help mate rially if they would put a curb on ex- travance and thus cut down expenses instead Of adding to the burdens of an already heavily-taxed people. The free breakfast table is a myth.

"A man in Cincinnati" says The Co., fumbia State, has written letter to The New York Tribune explaining to the Democrats of the country that It they will raise S2O.OOO so that he can travel around and make speeches In every State in the Union he will past lively guarantee them that he will be elected President next tune and will give the country a truly, old-time Jacksonian administration. It might be advisable. however. for the Demo- crats to demand that this coming Pres fdent first carry his own ward for all derman, say, just as an rVidenee os good faith. before the tweoty thousand is turned over to him." That last sug- gestion will hardly bo necessary. we fudge A lunscy commission win take charge of him.

Some years ago." says The Raleigh News and Observer. after he had made a particularly offensive speech In the town of Shelby. one Howard F. Seawell, then a candidate on sne ae-pop-ican ticket for a State offiss, was hit by two rotten eggs as he was boarding the Sea- board train. Nobody could find out who threw the eggs. but MT. Seaweli undertook the duty of fixing for all State politicians the market price for rotten egs. He, ther sso,s, brough: suit against the Seaboar1 Ar Line Rail- way and recovered s4.590 because while on that property some boys had landed two rotten eggs upol his person. The Supreme Court affirmed the price of rotten eggs at s2.25O each. and tha: is the price they have since been rated at in political circles in North Carolina. If Sea ewell should finally land that 5udgeship. the other fellows looking for job would be begging theie friends to give them a douche of stale eggs."

 field, M~
 Atlanta, April 21.--A new factor ap- peared in the wheat situation in Amer lea tonight, when a call was issued for a mass meeting of all grain grow CTS under the auspices of the Farm CTS Union at Springfield. Mo. on May 12. next.
 The call was issued by c. S. Barrett. President of the Farmers Union. and asked that farmers not members of the Union attend as well as the organ ization members.
 The Farmers Union has a member ship of about 100000 and although growing States. the membership ex- tends also into some of the grain pro- ducing States.
 MT. Barrett in issuing the call said:
 Present uncertain conditions do not make for permanent high prices of wheat. It will be remembered that when a few years ago cotton was boosted to the sky the farmers receiv- ed little benefit since 1t had left their hands. The situation applies now to wheat production. Eventually the pub lie will begin to inquire into the vast ly Increased cost of living in all di- rections. Then cotton and grain grow CTS and the producers or every otner commodity will come in for adverse criticism, perhaps adverse action. for conditions of which they are victims no less than the consuming public.
 ''But we can so perfect organization as to maintain high prices and elimi- nate this element of unjust criticism. It is the intention of the meeting next month at Springfield to place the grow CTS squarely on record before the world and to build such system as will en- able wheat to sell for the highest pos sible figure while 1t IS yet in the hands of the grower. At present the manip- ulator is about the only beneficiary It is the purpose of the projected mass meeting to remove this inequality.
 "Al citizens interested In cattle and grain production, whether members of the union or not, are invited to coop crate Their interests are identical with ours. The union is well organ ized and effective in virtually all the grain growing States. It is the plan now to place the entire power of the organization from a national stand point behind the light for high prices to the wheat producer instead of the mantpulator.

D. A. R. TO BATTLE
EACH FACTION CLAIMS VICTORY IN
 ELECTION.
Miss richards, Reading Clerk, Takes the Blame for the Blunder, and lAli h Lovc1y--Eaeception
 Given By Sons.

Washington, April 2f--one the eve of the battle of ballots for officers of the Daughters of the American Revo- luton. the contestants are concentrat- ing their forces and each claiming vic- ory.
 Both Mrs. Scott.l of Illinois. and Mrs Story. of New York. are confident of the outcome. Each was accorded to- day demonstrations by their followers during the sessions of the convention. It was the first time that Mrs. Scott had appeared before the delegates in any other capacity than an observer but today she entered the iimelight form a personal contribution for Con- tinental Hall.
 A dramatic feature of today's meet ing was the frank statement of Miss Janet tRtchards ,4.the sofiznia1A reader. Sffiat she, andashes afones fwaBs re spon siois for the 6blNntiers of last j night. svhtcfI had placed Mrs. fgtary. Mrs. Mclean and the Congress- in an awkward position resulting in the refusal of the Presi- dent-Generai to recognize Mrs. Story in order to submit her report as Re- gent of New York. The explanation. which was accompanied by an open apology, was greeted with applause. and what promised, to develop Into a most disagreeable situation. turned out 10 pc a AOtC lc6ot lOt OptA 4AC- Lean and Mrs. Story expressed them selves as entirely satisfied.
 The superstitious ones tonight are predicting all sorts of dire happen ings tomorrow and 1t is all because the English sparrows which had infested the hall since the Congress convened. have been destroyed. During the af- ternoon recess. men armed with air ri- fies. picked off one by one, fifteen "lit- tic doves of peace" as they had come to be known. and their merry ichirps sounded no more. No officiaf of the Congress was willing to admit that she gave the order of execution.
 A good deal of business was trans acted during the day. Many reports from committees were read and order ed printed. and the annual contribu- tions for Continental Hall fairly swamped the President-General's desk. The actual sums handed in. together with the pledges announced. aggre- gated about $50,000.
 The days events were brought to a close by a reception in honor of the Daughters by the Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution.

 This is the first case In this country where a charge of this gravity has been placed against an automobilist who caused death in an accident and s marks precedent for the future. which may go far toward causing automo- bile drivers to limit their speed on the busy thorouRhfAres.

rIanrrrG AND wrrrrro.

at the annual meeting of the Asso- ciated Press Tuesday in New York draw attention to one of the most eficient nshts ever made in Congress asainst the protective tariff. The newspapers of America. acting through intelligent and active committees and represented by . noted expert on the pulp and paper industry wrung from a Republican ways and Means Committee and Re- publican House notable tarin vic- tory.
 The tarir bill as it passed the House reduced the duty on print paper from 90 cents hundred pounds to 10 cents . hundred pounds. Wood pulp. upon which a substantial duty had been placed vii be, under the terms of the bill. admitted free
 The action of the House was a result of an unjustinabie advance of s1o a ton made in 1907 by the paper manu- lecturers, who become to all intents and purposes . trust. The manufacturers had not been satisfied with a fine profit; they had to go into combination and announce the unparalleled advance of t1o ton in print paper. This action vitaiiy affected every newspaper ofice In the United States. But why should the manufacturers fear? They were under the benign protection of a pro- tective tarifr and they controlled the industry.
 But the newspaper publishers did not propose to sit tameiy by after raising a few cries about the outrage that had been perpetrated. They went to fight ing. and they went to fighting intelii- gently and efficiently. With their ex- perts, they deived deep into the figures of the paper making business. They met figures with figures. and they over threw mere assertions with incontro- vertible facts. The paper mills had their experts. but the publishers had experts as well.
 It was claimed by the American man ufacturers that they had to have pro- tection. or they could not meet the com petition of the Canadian manufacturers. But 1t was shown that there were only six Canadian mills. while there were seventy-one American mills. The Amer ican mills made more than nine times as much paper as the Canadian mills. One mill in America made as much pa- per as all the Canadian mills com bined:
 But the publishers clinched matters when they showed by. Irresistible fig- ures that paper could be made in Amer lea cheaper than 1t could be made in Canada. And as climax to the whole light, it was demonstrated that Ameri- can mills sold American paper to shef- field. England. concerns for sss ton. f. o. b. in New York on the same day they were charging New York custom CTS $50 a ton.
 Such were the main features of the exhaustive and icontrovertibie show ing made before the special committee from the Ways and Means Committee of the House. of which Congressman Mann was chairman. Tn the presence of this showing. the Republican mem ibers of the committee could only throw up their hands, and join with the Re- 'puhlscan aaspnsssf ia A Gnhanimous ts7 port to the House for the reduced duty, AA6 the House. by unanimous vote. adopted the report.
 The Senate can hardly do anything but pass the bill as it stands.

New Orleans, La, April 21-Leon Soupenne, President of the Butchers Association of New Orleans, who was shot several days ago by Alexis Fran cinguez. a saloon keeper. died at the Charity Hospital today as the result of his wound. Francinguez was ar rested and charged with murder.
