Instead of revising the tariff down

ing in obedience to the manifest popu-

revised the tariff upward, so as to in

Senator Cummins has made a tell

STORIES OF STEWART
Former Nevada Senator's Excit-

HOW He AWED 4 BAD MAN.

amplss Of His Remarkable Absent
m~indedness.

United States Senator william NJ.
Stewart, who recently died in Wash
ington. distinguished himself for his
interest in the Indian question. as all
the country knows. Among other
things he induced the government to
establish an Indian school at Carson.
If the senator was like ordinary men.
he would have rejoiced in the oblitera-
ton of the redskins. for it Is owing
only to his own nerve. mules n the
interposition of heave hat he es-
capped alive some years ago.
In 1860 Stewart was driving his own
wagon, heaped with his law library,
from bonneville to Carson. Four
mules were drawing him at the rate
OF eight miles IN hour, and as he sped
through the sagebrush and sunshine
he dreamed of fees. The future sem
ator ratified down through the Henness
pass, crossed the Truckee at Hunters,
a few miles west Of Reno. and was
rolling along toward Steamboat
Springs when he noticed an Indian
armed with a rife In the road ahead Of
him.
News got over the ground slowly in
those days. and Stewart had not heard
of the uprising of the reds or received
tidings OF the Ormsby defeat, in which
nearly a hundred whites had fallen.
So when the Piute in his path raised
his hand Stewart pulled up his mules
and readily consented to give the a v
age a ride on the seat beside him. The
Indian held his rife upright before him
and talked cheerfully.
The conversation was progressing
amicahly when another Indian came
into view. He was on top Of a big
rock 200 yards ahead, and he also held
a rifle. The two red men exchanged
signals, and there was something il
their ANN of doing it hat awoke
a feeling of suspicion and uneasiness
I'm Mr. Stewart. There were more sig
nails, and a look at the face Of the
Piute beside him froze the lawyers
blood, for he saw exultant murder
there. The situation broke upon him.
The mules were rapidly bringing him
near the Indian on b rock, who was
evidently getting ready to fire.
Something must be done, and that
mighty quick too. Stewart did it. He
dropped the reins. in a fash had his
arms around his Piute passenger and
gave a yell that scared the mules into
a mad gallop. Then he held his wrig-

The new idea of a railroad from
Roswell to Tucumcari is good, but the
project of a railroad from Roswell to
Torrance is still better. At Tucumca-
ri, connection is made only with the
Rock Island System, but at Torrance
there will be connection with the Rock
Island, Ell PaSo & Southwestern, San
ia Fe Central, Denver & Rio Grande
and Santa Fe systems by the most Ii-
rect route. At Tucumcari there will
be no special outlet for Roswell's pro-
ducts, but by way of Torrance the
markets of Albuquerque, Las Vegas
and Santa Fe will be unlocked. At
Tucumcari, there will be no exchange
of products but at Torrance there will
be an exchange of coal and lumber,
articles that the Pecos valley SHOULD
have at lower prices than it pays TO-
day and which it can secure at reason
able rates only from the central part

The nation with the greatest inter
nal natural resources, located on two
oceans in a most commanding trade
position, has one of the smallest
merchant marines among the nations
of h world. This country pays out
hundreds of millions of dollars every
year to have its products carried by
foreign vessels. This country, our
own, has the highest protective tariff
in existence. The greatest merchant
marine is possessed by the country
with free trade, and that country,
England, occupies an island less han
half the size of New Mexico. At one
time the United States had the great
est carrying trade in the world.
but as our infant industries, fatten-
ing upon the protective tariff system,
gradually fastened their grip upon
congress and raised the tariff higher
and higher, just so our flag disappear

THEY WHO REVISE THE TARIFF

WIN REVISE -
Who insisted upon tariff revision?
1t was not the manufacturers, 1t was
not the lumbermen, it was no. the iron
and steel man, it was not the glass
man, it was not the cotton sor the
wooden man. it was not the oil man.
In the whole agitation, / never heard
you never heard-a demand from
those people that the tariff must be
revised. The demand came from
those who believed hat the duties
upon many articles and commodities
were too high; from those who be-
lieved they were paying too much for
b things they had TO buy, and that
excessive import duties, coupled with
other conditions, were enabling a ia
vored few to reap inordinate profits,
and, therefore, they wanted, as one
of the steps leading to the remedy
which they sought, a substantial re-
OF these duties-From speech
by Senator Cummins.
In other word the tariff is being
revised, not by those who forced re
vision, but by those who opposed re-
vision. So far revision has been made
by the interests from which the mass
rs have sought relief, not ny the true
representatives Of the masses In Com
gress. Every one OF these masses in

ests and been strongly represented in

There is more humbuggery in the
Forest Reserve Service than in any
other departments of government ser
vice and that is saying a whole lot.
Timber lands should De protected. No
one doubts that, but it is absurd folly
to reserve purely grazing and agricul-
tural lands and allow the lumber cor
porations to gobble UP all the desira-
BILE timber lands. Yet this is just the
kind of work the Forest Reserve Ser
vice Is doing.

The Republican party a never be

all attempts to get a bill through that

continue to tax the necessities of the
poor and stand in the way Of the
millionaire bearing his proper pro-
portion of the burdens of supporting
