New York, April 1S..The problem
OF the Black Hand in America is a
far-reaching one and one deserving of
the utmost attention ON the part of
the lawmakers and police officials. The
Ellis island authorities are bending
every effort to keep out the criminals
from Italy as far as lies in their power.
but at present they are greatly handi-
capped b. a lack of cooperation be.
tween the United States and Italy
1t was to secure definite knowledge
of italian criminals before theg emil
grated 10 America that Lieut.. Joseph
Petroslno made his trip 90 Italy which
proved so fatal 10 himself, and the
lamentable occurrence-one of really
great magnitude and importance In its
far-reaching signiflcance-sh should bring
more fOrcibly than ever before to those
In power the necessity for immediate
action
Authorities differ as to the number
OF Italian criminals generally classified
as BLACK Hand" members In America
One authority, Frederick Marshall
White, quotes Lieut. Petrosino as say
ing that between 2 and 3 per cent
of the Italian population are criminals
This would metan there were approx
mately $4,000 Italian criminals in this
country. On the other hand, Robert
Watchorn, United States commission
er Of immigration at New York. states
that Lieut. Petrosino told him that
If 20 or 30 Italians he could designate
were to be deported the Black Hand
troubles I'm New York would cease.
Much criticism has been laid at the
door OF the immigration department at
Ellis Island. They are accused of lax
ity and of apparent effort To protect
Italian criminals. but their report
seems clearly to show that conditions
have vastly improved during the last
four years. The figures given out, by
the Ellis island department are as fol-
lows

KILL "REVOLUT|ON|sT
Execution of Ferrer Causes Trou'
BILE in Europe.
Life of Alfonso Of Spain Placed In
Greater Danger by Shoot
Ing of Rebel at
Barcelona,

Barcelona-The execution OF Prof.
Francisco Ferrer. the Spanish educa-
tor and convicted re%volutionist, has
thrown many of the countries of Eu-
rope into a state bordering on civil
wal and made more dangerous the
lives of the monarchs. Especially Is
1t an added menace to King Alfonso
of Spain.
Prof. Ferrer was shot October IL at
the fortress of Montjuich, in which he
had been since his condemnation by a
court-martial. The doomed man faced
the firing squad without flinching and
fell dead at the first volley. Except
for a momentary expression of emo
ton Immediately preceding his death
Ferrer retained his composure to the
last. His attorney, M. Galceran, who
had defended the prisoner SO Loyalty
as to bring about his own arrest for
improperly addressing the court, had
obtained permission for a brief talk
with the revolutionist before be was
led to the ditch in which he was to
die.
After Ferrer's arrest his family was
dependent on his daughter, who at
once found employment in a biscuit
factory. When her father had been
sentenced to death the daughter made
a personal appeal to King Alfonso
calling upon him in the name OF his
generosity and chivalry to spare hei
fathers life. When these facts were

Dodoino the Main issue.

President Taft lays much stress
upon side issues in his western dis
c~ussions of the tariff problem. He
tells the western farmers that the
country will gain immensely from the
tax on corporations. He points with
pride to the new tariff commission,
which will furnish a scientific base for
future tariff adjustments.
What his western hearers really
wish Mr.. Taft to explain is why he
signed a tariff law that admittedly
violates the Republican party's sol
emn ante-election pledges. Mr.. Taft
admits that the wooleA schedule is a
direct violation Of these pledges. But
his only answer to the main question
is that IL he had vetoed the bill in its
entirety he would have endangered
the solidarity" of the Republican
party.
This might be considered an argu-
ment if President Taft's hearers were
exclusively partisan Republicans.
Even then it would be a lame apology.
For we cannot assume that the Re.
publican party lacks patriots or that
a Republican president would not play
better politics by keeping his pledges
The main issue is still written large
throughout the west. If President
Taft does not actually evade it, his
explanations hardly measure up to ar
adequate standard.
The west would like to know why II
will pay tribute indefinitely to eastern
mill bosses. And President Taft will
not, or cannot, tell.

Tariff Fight Clearly Defined.

President Taft has forced the tariff
issue between the two great parties
to the line from which there is no re-
ceding. The twilight zone" between
the Democratic party and the Repub-
lican party on that question has dis
appeared. BY his speech at Winona
the Official leader and spokesman of
the Republican party notified the Re-
publican tariff reformers of the north
west and the middle west that the
party has nothing for them.
The Democratic party is the only
agency through which they can get
what they want. The president has
destroyed the usefulness of Republi-
can tariff reform delegations in con-
gress. He has pointed Chairman Llyod
and the Democratic congressional cam.
paign committee to the ground on
which the great tariff battle Of next
year is to be fought.

a Disapnointment,

President Taft and Congressman
Tawney were in the same boat. One
signed the bill and the other voted
for it. AS a matter of expediency, not
only for maintaining party solidarity
and usefulness, but for the purpose Of
ending the tariff disturbance and per-
hitting the resumption of business,
their action was justified. Adequate
defense of their course did not neces-
state such unqualified Endorsement of
the bill, with the exception of the
wooden schedule, as the president
gave before his Minnesota audience.
The president has disappointed an
army of who have had
faith In his positive interest in re-
vision downward directed against ex-
orbitant profits, and who, heretofore,
have credited him with being an I'M
willing acceptor of the Aldrich-Payne
bill only as the best measure obtain
able under the circumstances.

CLAIM MUST BE CONSIDERED
PeopIe Of District Of Alaska Within
Their Rights Whom They
Protest.

Alaska is 800 miles wide and LOO
miles long. 1t is more than IL times
as large as New York and more than
twice as large as Texas. In 1900 it
had a population of $4,000, not quite
one.half being Indians. OF the whites
more than $4,000 were grown men.
The white population has increased
materially in The last nine years.
The District Of Alaska is ruled by
congress. a governor and a Judge. Its
people are ambitious and progressive
and for some time past have been pc
titioning congress for a territorial
form of government. There are twice
as many white men in Alaska as are
to be found in Nevada, more dwellings
and fewer mortgages. Alaska's min
eral output exceeds that of Nevada.
Yet Nevada is a state while Alaska is
a dependency.
When the Northwest Territory, now
embracing the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin, was
organized as a s%elf-ruling territory II
had but 5000 voters. 1t is held now
that Alaska's population is shifting
and uncertain, but worse .epithets than
these were used against the pioneers
of the northwest.
Everybody believes that Alaska has
a great future. 1t is rich in minerals
1t has an abundance of fuel. Its for
ests are of unknown extent. It's agri
cultural possibilities are considerable
Unless the American idea is to be Sc
down as a failure this great domain
cannot be wisely and justly developed
without a republican form Of govern
ment. Just now, 1t resembles a crown
colony, ruled by non-residents, will
less freedom than Porto Rico or tn,
Philippines.
AS showing the alarming growth o
the idea that American citizens ma.
be governed by outsiders and withou
representation, and of the equal,
novel theory that under some circum
stances it is not safe to intrust Amer,
cans with self-government, the fac
should be noted that the presiden
himself is, in the case of Alaska, tn
most powerful advocate of these doc
trines.-New York World.

related to Ferrer by M. Galceran he
broke down. Soon the revolutionist
was himself again, however.
Ferrer declined the last sacrament
and turned away from the two priests
of the Order of Peace and Charity
who had been sent by the prison au
thorities to offer him the consolation
Of the church.
When the hour Of the execution ar
rived the doomed man walked bravely
through the prison yard to the ditch
in the shadow of the encircling wall.
Without a culver he faced the IL in
fantrymen, who, at the word of com
mand. fired. When the report of the
volley had died away Ferrer lay
dead on the ground.
The firing squad was drawn by lot
and the command to fire was given by
Gen. Eserin. Just before his eyes
were bandaged Ferrer examined his
will.
Previous to the execution precau
tons had been taken to prevent a pos
sible attempt at rescue by doubling
the sentinels on the walls of thu
fortress.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than If
fed on almost any other kind Of food.
All of these facts we're proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
fessor Fisher Of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with Oh
without china dishes.

TAFT WITH ALDRICH
WEST MUST UNDERSTAND POSI-
TON OF PRESIDENT.
Chief Executive Signed Measure Real
ling That 1t Meant Reputation
of the Party's Pledge to
the Country.

Mr.. Taft's derense of the Aldrich
tariff in his Winona speech is a bitter
disappointment to the west. That Sec
tion approved of the action of the ten
Republican senators from Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Indiana, South Dakota,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, and it
cherished the delusion that Mr.. Taft
on his western trip would express
sympathy with their views. Far from
being pacified by his labored plea in
support of "the best tariff bill that
the Republican party has ever passed.
it finds fresh cause for resentment.
AS a matter of fact, there never
was any reason for the west to ex-
pect that Mr.. Taft would attack the
Aldrich tariff bill. He signed it with
out hesitancy Immediately upon its
passage, and on signing it issued a
statement defending it as an adequate
fulflment of Republican pledges. Dur
ing the last days of the session when
he urged reductions upon the confer
ence committee he called none Of the
western insurgents into consultation.
His attitude all through the earlier
stages of the tariff fight had been stu
diously neutral, and while in the end
he secured concessions that the insur-
gents favored, he showed no sympathy
with their attacks upon the stand-pat
leaders.
Mr.. Taft's ambition in revising the
tariff was to avoid a controversy with
in the party. He is still SO solicitous
about maintaining the party solidari,
ty for accomplishing its chief pur'
poses" that he protests against any
show of indignation and would post
pone further tariff agitation until after
the next presidential election. The
western Republicans are angry at be
ing robbed and want to renew the
fight at once.
AS a harmonizer Mr.. Taft failed al
Winona. Perhaps he did not realize
how seriously the west had taken his
campaign pledges in favor Of an hon
est and downward revision, or that
many Republicans there are still cap
able of regarding the tariff as a mora
as well as a political issue. His ex
preston of Joy that "a number O
those who thought 1t their duty t.
vote against the bill insist that the,
are still Republicans" has not served
to make matters better.
The western progressives have nj
misgivings about their own Republi
canism. 1t is Mr.. Taft's Republicanisn
that they are finding fault with.

The rare GIFT Of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kin iness, graces Of speech, absence OF
ludeness, but honorable treatment OF
business associates and of all the fell
low citizens with whom a a of af-
fairs may have business to transact.
1t is not American to keep n citi-
zen waiting all day at the door be-
cause he is poor, and to grant an

is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not
confined in a purse, and frequently
much wisdom may be learned from a

Voters Understand Game OF Grab.

In the early days Of tariff robbery,
protection was defended on the
ground that the country's resources
and particularly infant industries
needed development. No high tariff
champion dared to raise this wornout
plea in the recent tariff debate. The
ccuntry's intelligence forbade it.
For, when protected" trusts can
accumulate vast millions by undersel-
ling foreign competitors, in the lat
ter's own markets, by the simple de-
vice Of robbing American consumers
In the home market, it is apparent
that the infant industry plea is no
longer available.
Abandoning all the old-time argu-
ments, the high tariff champions of
the Aldrich school we're compelled to
invent new protection" arguments.
That their pleas were simply sophis-
tries, in a huge gamesof grab, the in
teIligent American west understands.

that this tariff game is a matter of
