JONES GETS CHANCE
TO SEE HIS CHILD

Judge Hinkle has modified his
order as to the custody Of Burton
Immel Jones to the extent of al.
lowing the father, A. c. Jones, see
the child one day in the. week, on
Wednesday. The father is to pro.
vide someone to take the child to
his room and the little ones ia to
remain with him one hour, in the
presence of the person bringing
the child.
The former order gave the faith
er the right to see the child at
any time by calling at the home
of its mother, but Jones said he
had not been given permission to
see the child for nearly three
months.
The troubles of the Jones have
kept the courts busy since last

TelIess Aerogram from
The MOMBASA LIAR.

MOMBASA, May 27.-lVery Spe-
cial, by runner from Nairobi--
While the world knows the natives
have draped the name Of Bwana
Tumbo upon Colonel Roosevelt, it
remains tor this dispatch to ex-
plain why that name was chosen.
Bwana Tumbo is the equivalent
of Portly Master. Other more or
less correct explanations of the
idea are contained in Big Noise,
Main Cheese and Whole Push. 1t
expresses the superlative of bar
barrie admiration and awe and was
based on such scraps of his fame
as reached the interior ahead of
him. However. he has so far dis
appointed none of the natives. His
prowess among the lions and
rhinos will make the name stick.
The African conception of the
great faunal naturalist's person
atty is best indicated in literal
translation of the talk given by
Chief Galalla of the WoOza-goo
tribe to the little crown prince
Gee-wop the other day.
Him see?" said old Galalla,
pointing to Colonel Roosevelt's
phiz in a copy of the Outlook.

| WILLIAM JENNINGS BRY AN,
was to declare, when in the west,
that it meant an honest revision"
at one time declaring that while
some schedules ought to be raised
and some lowered, the revision
would probably be downward.
The republican national conven-
ton was at fault in not making
a specific promise of reduction, and
the republican voters were at fault
in accepting so indefinite, so evas
i've and so deceptive a word as "re-
vision" as sufficient promise. The
voters ought to have known that
'the friends of the tariff" will new
er give us any material reduction.
AS to the democrats who voted
for the imposition of duties, they
have as a rule defended their con-
duct on the ground that the duties
voted for were revenue duties. and
they have not been high duties.
Measured on an ad valorem basis,
the duty on lumber an don iron
ore are but small portion of the
price. / think that the democrats
who voted for the duty made
mistake.
The democratic platform de-
handed free lumber, and l believe
a platform is binding upon all who
run upon it, and it ought to have
weight with the members of the
party who were elected before the
platform was adopted.
Those who voted for a duty on
lumber did so, I presume, because
of lumebr interests in their dis
tricts and states, but in doing so
l think they gave the preference
to a few owners of timber lands
over those who buy lumber. There
is no state in the union where the
consumers of lumber do not out
number the persons who profit by
the tariff on lumber, and the man
who votes for tariff on lumber
votes to tax a majority of the peo-
pie of his district and state for
the benefit of minority of his
constituents. But the men who get
the benefit of the tax are more ac-
tive in presenting their demands
than the consumers are In present
ing their protests, and as long as
this is true, the tax eaters will
have the advantage over the tax
payers
| II the taxpayers would take a
little more interest in the tariff
question and chastise the represen-
tatives who, ignoring the interests
of the consumers. follow the advice
| Of the protected interests, relief
would come sooner.
AS to the duty on iron ore, the
chief objection to it is not that 1t
is high rate of duty, but that
it helps people who do not need
help, and gives an excuse for high
err duties on manufactured iron.
The man who owns a bed OF iron
has such an enormous advantage
over the man who owns farming
land that 1t is hardly fair to make
the farmer pay tribute to the ore
owner.
Every duty placed upo nraw ma
terial is burden upon the manu-
facturer unless he is permitted to
| transfer it to the consumer. A
tariff on iron ore, therefore, is like
ly to be transferred to the con-
sumner. A duty put upon raw mate
rial increases as it proceeds, in
| terest being added each step-it
grows like a snow ball in the
spring. and is more Objectionable
than the ad valorem rate levied
upon the finished product.

TAFT HAS DODGED TARR|FF
SAYS BRYAN
IN SPECIAL ARTICLE NEeRAsKAN DISCUSSES THE DIFFER
ENcE BETWEEN WORDS REVISED" AND "REpucEp-
AND PUTS TARIFF OUTRAGE UP TO REPUBLICAN PARTY
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
Party platforms are necessary,
but are misconstrued, unless they
are positive and specific. / make
this statement in view of the way
in which the republicans are re-
vising the tariff upward instead of
downward.
Senator Aldrich and his crowd
in the senate construe the tariff
plank In the republican platform
to mean an increase in duties. The
people thought differently, but the
republican tariff plank was so in
definitely worded that there is
room for the two views.
The republican platform was am
biguous, and the democratic party
platform specific. The republicans
in their. tariff plank used the word
revised" The democrats in their
party platform demanded a reduc-
tion of the rates. The word re-
vision is subject to double inter-
probation, while only one construc-
ton can be placed upon the word
reduced"
The democratic senators and rep
resentatives who had voted for the
imposition Of duties had made a
mistake, and whether elected upon
or before the adoption of the plat
form of the party, ought to feel
bound by its declarations.
l most heartily approve of the
resolution offered by Senator Gore
of Oklahoma, proposing an investi-
cation as to the responsibility for
the high cost of living.
Senator Gore is entirely right.
The high tariff republicans have
tried to shift the responsibility
from the manufacturers to the
merchants. This is important, and
it is only right that the public
should know the truth.
It has been found by experience
that unless party formulates a
platform, it's representatives in
office cannot agree upon definite
policy. owing to the influence
brought to bear by favor-seeking
corporations. Even when there are
platforms they are misconstrued
unless they are positive and spe-
cific. Sometimes positive and spe-
cific platforms are violated, but
positive and specific platform is
not apt to be violated, and when
they are violated the guilt can be
fixed and the guilty punished.
The trouble with the republican
platform of last fall was that it
was not specific and definite. The
tariff plank used the word ere
vised" instead of the word ere
duced," and now Senator Aldrich
and his crowd construe it to mean
an increase, while some of the
western republicans insist it con-
templated a decrease in the rates.
Mr.. Taft lodged the question. So
ia ras I could learn from his
speeches the nearest he ever came
to a construction of the platform

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms Of the decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been &C.
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
Of the tribunal which rendered it. No

reporter:
"The success was due to the
skirts strangeness. Women like

''Ballantine," he said, came in
late to song recital in Palm Beach,
and there wasn't vacant seat in the
house.
"Ballantine noticed Mrs. Jerome
Blank. Mrs. Jerome Blank, he knew,
had very handsome husband that
she kept strict watch oversize didn't

Blank, who had an excellent seat, said

was gone, and Ballantine was seated
