RESISTED GOING TO JAIL.

Quite an exciting little scene oc-
Cured in Squire Zolman's Office last
Wednesday afternoon. Roy Hand,
who left here several months ago
to join the Navy, returned home u
couple Of weeks ago. Before leav-
ing he with some other boys was
charged with breaking the windows
in Il house near DeLassus. Dep
uty Sheriff Schaefer arrested him on
this charge and took him before
Squire IOlman, where his mother
gave bond for his appearance. After
signing the bond she asked what
would be the consequences IL Roy
should leave and not appear at the
appointed time. She was told that
in such event she would have to
pay the bond, whereupOn she took
the document and tore it in two.
Deputy Schaefer then took hold Of
Roy to take him to jail, when Roy
resisted and Mrs. Hand set upon
the Deputy with parasol and hands,
and there was quite II lively little
scrimmage for awhile, Deputy Scha-
fer holding the youth and taking the
onslaught Of the mother with the
best grace he could; he didn't want
to strike either the boy or the wom-
an. City Marshal Adams was ap-
prised OF the affair and went to the
Deputy's assistance, and the OBJ
streperous young man was escorted
to Jail. Deputy Sahaefer showed
several scratches on his face as a
result of the encounter.

DIFFERENCE sELF.EvIDENT.

There is an income tax and II cor
poratiOn tax now pending before the
congress of the United States. In
this situation 1t might not be out of
place and at the same time II Is in
terestingt to- recall that the Repub.
ilcan national platform, adopted ut
Chicago year ago, concluded with
the following bit of vainglorious
bOmbast:
ain history the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is
that the one has been forced to
abadnOn every position il has taken
on the great issues before the peo-
pie, the other has held and vindi-
Gated all. In principle the differ
between Democracy and Republic
canism IN that one stands for yacil-
lation and timidity in government,
the other for strength and purpose. "
Quoting the above, the New York
Evening Sun asks, pertinently
enough, (which one? How illu-
strate the difference" And it sug-
gests that 1t might be shown by
citing the following declaration of
the Denver platform, adopted by the
Democratic party, n year ago:
1--WE favor an income tax as part
of our revenue system, and we urge
the submission of constitutional
amendment specifically authorizing
congress to levy and collect tax
upon individual and corporate in
comes
And The Sun says:
"rhere was nothing like this in
the platform of the party which has
held and vindicated ALI the posi-
lions il has taken ON the great is
sues before the people. The party
which stands for strength and pur-
pose made not even n suggestion in
its platform that 1t held any such
position on the great leone tax is
sue. Yet it Is the income tax recon-
mendations of the Denver platform
which the party of the Chicago plat
form is preparing now to carry
out"
It.might be recalled further that
the Chicago convention by an over
whelming vote, declared against an
income tax. Also that President
Taft, when he sought as candidate
to smooth over this action of his
convention, declared that an income
tax law, IL needed for revenue pur-
pose, could and should pc passed

BUNKo MEN AND WELCHERs

There are few favored states In

meet each other and casually talk
about the tariff can say compliment

whether he is to be classed as q

Except for some of the New Eng
landers, there rs probably not re-
publican candidate for the lower,
house, certainly not a democrat
who would have dared go before the
people on the stump last fall with
out committing himself for honest
tariff revision. President Taft had
declared that the "Dingley rates
have become generally excessive"
and givon IL as his judgment that
republican tariff revision was to be

on these points was what the candi.
dates knew was expected Of then
and what they committed them.
selves to.
But now we hear ii loudly said by
many men in congressional circles
at Washington that the republican
party merely promised revision
and never promised "revision down,

the bunko men of congress. They
have sold a gold brick and are now

THE SUGAR TRUST.

"Damnable methods" That was
one of the expressions used before
the ways and means committee of

recent examination. The methods
referred to were those of the Ameri-

monty called the sugar trust. :"

The builder, becoming involved, was
forced to borrow some money. The

the loan he gained the privilege of
