REMANDED FOR RETRIAL
Jury Fails to Agree as to Guilt of
Hart, Alleged Deserter of
Dying Wife

Judge Chritton's court room was
crowded on Wednesday afternoon. when
the case of Earl P. Hart, arrested Mon
day upon complaint of F. M. Harsin,
chairman Of the board Of county commits
sioners. came up for hearing upon the
charge of deserving a sick wife and minor
children.
A jury consisting of W. Matthews. w.
Blinn. George Dishl. J. W. Edgar. A. L.
Hadley and W. J. Love was impanelled
and the entire afternoon was consumed
in the taking Of a mass Of testimony the
most Of which went to show that Hart
had at least reasonable grounds for his
assertion that his wife was recovering
when he left to look for work and that he
had not wilfully deserted his children.
But = portion Of the jury evidently
placed no crsdsnes in the prisoners tssti-
mony or that Of his friends. as two Of
them stood out stanehly for conviction
and at late hour IN the evening the jury
was forced to report that they could not
reach an agreement. 20 they were dis
charged and Judge Chritton remanded
the prisoner to the county jail to await q
rstrial Of the case.
Earl P. Hart, the man who several
weeks ago disappeared after leaving
his sick wife in the hospital and three
small children at Manzanola among
strangers, came back to Manzanola
en- Monday morning and was at once
placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff
Dick Potter and arraigncd before JUS
tice Critton charged with descrtion
and nonsupport of his family.
On failure to give bonds for his ap-
pearance in court Wednesday morn
ing he was locked up in the county
Jail at La Junta to await his prel'm-
inary.
1t will be remembered that three
days after Hart disappeared his wife
died at the hospital and he could not
be located anywhere. The body of
Mrs. Hart was held at Sprinkers chap
el for several days and finally was
sent to the home of her parents at
Kildare. Okla, accompanied by two
children. The other child is still at
Manzanola very sick with typhoid fc-
yer. Mrs. Richardson, a sister of
Mrs Hart, came out from Oklahoma
toftake care Of the child. =
Mr.. Hart left his family without
any funds and also left doctor and
hospital bills unpaid.

What has the country prohted in
the material sense by reason Of this
condition! A few perhaps have pro-
flied. The man who works for a sal. |
airy and whose income is thus not
within bis. own oontrel is the greatest
sufferer from this situation, for while
his wages have been increased
they have not increased in propor-l
ton to the increase in the cost Of
living. 10 addition to the foregoing
the price of fuel has materially ,in.l
creased. Oil has gone up. Rents
are much higher. The dollar Of 1909
will not 60 more than half as far as
did,the dollar Of 1896, so that out Of
the country's prosperity the wage
Garner has hot benefited to the ex..
tent that he should, his condition, il
no worse, is no better than it was a.
decade ago, whereas it should have
materially improved. If Mr.. Taft in
bis tour Of defense Of the tariff bill
can successfully explain to the people
a way around this condition Of affairs
his time will not be wasted. Is a
fifty cent dollar the total benefit Of
twelve years Of Republican admins

The Egin and Wallhaw watch
people a few days ago announced an
increase in the rlces-of watches Of
from 5 to 10 per cent. Representa-
tives Of the two companies say that
the new tariff has nothing to do with
it. Of course not, New and high
tariffs never do. The watch people
insisted that the. duties be raised,
but now that prices are raised they
assure US that the tariff is in no way
responsible. OF course there was no
combination between. the two CON-
panies. "The gWalham and. Elgin
companies" we are told. "could not
combine to raise prices because 1t is
forbidden by the Sherman anti trust
act" 1t "just happened" that the
two companies advised the, jobber'

FIFTY CENT DOLLAR UNDER REPUBLICAN
RULE.

Running away from the fifty cent
dollar we seem to have gone head
long into it. If William J. Bryan's
financial views Of 1896 threatened 10
cut the purchasing value Of dollar
down to fifty cents, the Republican
policy since that time has in reality
accomplished the cut. In 1896 the
cost per pound Of the necessities Of
life was 49.l per cent less than it is
today. For example: .....

PAYING REPUBLICAN TAX ON CLOTHES

-
One Of the matters which the !.
people hadin mind when they asked 9
he government to arrange the tariff 9
law so that it would Tear little less /,
oPpressipely upon them was clothing. &
Clothing costs far more in the United ;
States than it does in any other part
of the world, though this country
produces most or the worlds cotton
and a great part of the worlds wool.
In spite Of the fact that this nation
sellgabroad vast quantities Of both
of.tbese principal materials for clothes
making, and that with its improved
machinery and intelligent labor it
ought to beat the world, the price of
clothes is higher here than it is any
where else in the world; and the
reason is that the tariff schedules are
so high as to tax all the people
through every article of clothing they
buy, almost entirely for the benefit of
few mili.ownerS who have done
nothing to earn this fat special privi-
lege.
Congress did not lower the wool
schedules. 1t is asserted, in its de.
Tense, that it did not raise them,
either, though until the full extent Of
the Sleightof hand work accomplished
BY Aldrich is laid bare, nobody can
be sure of that. Congress did not
lower the cotton schedules, but it did
raise them, and it raised most heavily
those covering articles which most
people buy because most people can
afford nothing better. These things
were done by the tariff law which
President Taft praises, and for vot.
ing against. which he has chastised
the insurgents Of the west.
These abstract facts are made more
interesting by few figures. Clothing
has already increased in price, and
still further increases are promised
for next spring. The suit of!clothes
that you used to buy for SIG is now
$40; and the ADDITIONAL! 81 represents
your tribute to the wool trust and the
mill.owners, though there was large
tribute in the old price of SIG. The
wholesale manufacturers have to pay
more for cloth, Innings, and trimm-
ipgs and so they declare that they
are compelled to raise prices and,
what is worse 10 cheaper the quality
Of the goods.
+ The consumer has this tempting
choice. He can pay S25 for the
kind of suit that he, bought last fall
for $40, or he can pay the old price
Of $40 and get for it the kind Of suit
be could have got for SIG last spring,
i A pattern of goods that used to be
sold to the manufacturers at Sl.f5
per yard now costs him S2.lO. 1t
takes three and a half yards to make
= suit so the added cost on this item
alone is S1.22. Adding in the ad'
aitional cost Of trimmings and Innings
it is estimated that the increase ii
The making suit out of that cloth !:
1922.
A dealer quoted by the Cincir
!!nati Enquirer says: "The retail store
keeper who has run on suits tina
She pays SIS for and sells at abOu

twill have to take an inferior quality
