press regret at the death of this be-
loved jurist, or to express any token
! for his memory. was objectionable,
The omission was really disgraceful
The fact that Judge Scott and George
A. Cooke were intimate friends and
that Mr.. Cooke was a candidate to
succeed Scott as judge of the supreme
| court. was no reason why the conven-
ton should have omitted any mark of
respect TO the dead jurist.
In Milton E. McClure's speech ac-
cepting the republican committees
nomination. which long and carefully
prepared address was published in, the
Quincy Wing, there was no expression
of regret for the death of Judge Scott.
10 token of respect for his memory
Mr.. McClure's letter of acceptance
was equally silent regarding Judge
Scott.
And in McClure's campaign speeches
over the district, not until he went to
Aledo. Judge SCOTS home town, has
Mcclure said anything regarding the
dead iurist.
In view of the omission of the Ma
| comb convention to show respect to
Judge Scott. and of Mr. McClure's
failure TO show respect for the dead
jurist in his acceptance speech or in
his letter of acceptance the object of
McClure's mention of Judge Scott at
Aledo is evident
McClure'S remarks at Aledo will not
| cause Judge SCOTS friends all over
the district to forget or pardon the
disrespect shown by the politicians and
| their candidate toward one of the
ablest and purest and best beloved
judges that has ever served on the
Illinois supreme court bench.

but effective style of speaking may
convince the people of his sincerity.
Since Mr. Aldrich charmed the pres

President Taft should have great con-

The Journal predicts that Mr.. Aldrich
will find it far more difficult to pull
the wool over the eyes of-the people

President Taft. i'll his speech at Wi
mona, Mimi, upheld the Aldrich-Payne
tariff measure as the best bill which
ever was passed by congress-but ad-
raised in support of it was that it will
not raise the cost of living. For good
ness sake, is it possible that that is
all the comfort it is to afford? Every
body has been led TO believe it would
materially curtail the cost of living.

Il protective system. Bat when we
consider that of all nations now adopt
ing such a system there are but two
CT three whose prosperity is in any
way comparable with our own, it be-
comes obvious that protection cannot
be the dominating factor i'll this result.
Apart from the objections of prin-
ciple to which protection is open, there
are also. in our judgment, serious prac-
teal objections to it. The proposed
taxation of imported food and manu-
featured articles would not only raise
the price of the DCceSSaries the cont
forts and cOnvenienceS of life. but It
would impose on the consumer "a bur
den far beyond the revenue raised ;
for. if duty is imposed on articles
partly imported and partly produced
at home, part only of the tax paid by
the consumer finds its way into the
Golfers of the state: the rest goes to
swell the profits of the producer. II
would diminish the purchasing power
of the home market. upon which ma
tional industry and employment main
~ depend. And in so far as it checked
our imports, it would automatically re-
strict our exports and diminish the
volume of our foreign trade
Discounts Significant.
The extent to which the American
consumer is being overcharged for
nearly every manufactured article he
buys that is protected by high tariff
is revealed by a comparison of the dis
counts given to foreigners and home
dealers by American manufacturers.
These telltale discount sheets are
not to be secured in the United States,
and are hard to obtain even in EnroDe
so anxious are the tariff beneficiaries
to conceal the fact that as a result of
having monopoly on home markets
they are forcing Americans TO pay
more than consumers not at their
mercy.

Lose To Frankfort.

Our sturdy athletes went to Frank
ford FRIDAY for series of two games
with the Lawmakers aud they sue
ceeded in losing the first one by the
scoIe of to 3.
Thegam started off like it would be
easy for the Pioneers, but as it grew
older it was seen that they were up
against hard proposition. Every
thing went nicely for the Pioneeis I'M
til the filth inning, when Golden, who
was pitching Tor Richmond, lost his
cunning and the Lawmakers found
him for enough hits to net three runs.
At this juncture, Knox was called in
from center and put in, but two more
runs were scored before the side could
be retired. This was all the Law
makers could do. but it was sufficient,
for three scores were all our boys could
get.
Mcdowell did the pitching for
Frankfort, and although he won his
game, it was by close margin, for on
more than one occasion a hit by a
Pioneer would have won the game Tor
Richmond.

Revenge.

The Lawmakers got sweet revenge
Saturday for the large scores by which
they were defeated while en- their last
trip here, by giving the Pioneers the
worst defeat they have received this
year. The contest was too one-sided
to be interesting, the Lawmakers
pounding two Of our pitchers unmer-
cifully, getting % hits, good for Is
scores. Knox was the first pitcher
sent in and i'll two aud one third in
nings the Lawmakers found him for
10 hits and four scores. Creager was
then sent to the rescue. but his life
boat was not in good condition and
the whole team went down under the
the overwhelming scores of Is to 3.
Rusty" Wright WAS in the box fer
the Lawmakers and his pitching was
too much for our batters, they getting
only seven scattered hits.
The most unfortunate thing of the
whole game, was the accident which
befell Johnson. In the fourth inning
in sliding to second his ankle was bad
ly spraiDed and he had TO be carried
from the field. This is greatly TO be re-
GREETED, for the team is already some

Piecrust Promises.

Georgetown Times: Before the
presidential election, the people were
led TO believe that the Republican
party would give them some relief
by reducing the tariff on number OF
articles that entered largely into gen
eraI use and consumption, but they
are opening their eyes to the fact that
thew have been deceived. In the
tariff plank of the Republican party
a revision was promised. The people
knowing that they wanted. very
materially concluded that revision and
reduction means one and the same
thirg They we're purPosely misled.
Senator Aldriege aud other extremists
now tell the public that revision
meant an increase or change up
ward. The people have been deceiv-
ed: that IS, so many of the people &c
ever believed that Republican party
would bring any relief in this direc-
ton
