WASHINGTON.-A novel and grue-
W some scheme for forcing states
men to part with their money has just
been discovered in Washington, with
the result that congressman are laugh
ing heartily at the recent experience
of Representatives Murdoch of Kan
sas. Gardner of New Jersey and Cur
rier of New Hampshire. Mr.. Murdoch,
who was prominent in the house insur-
rection against the Cannon rules, tells
the story on himself to show, he says,
that. though the instruction isn't
dead yet. the hand of death occasion
ally weighs upon him.
The Kansan, according to his story,
was sitting not long ago in his Office
meditating revenge on the C%annonites,
when an impressive-looking negro en-
tered n inquired if he were Mr.. Muir
dock. Mr.. Murdoch assured him that
he was correct.
Don't you remember meeting me,
Mr.. Murdock?" the visitor went on.
I'm Bishop De Graffenried-F Forest of
your district. I've met you many
times. I'm sure you will remember
me-"
mo, I don't. And you didn't know
me when you came in. But never
mind, what is it,"

Discussing missionary work, Nine.

CHOOSE RIGHT KIND OF MEN.
II Voters Are DESTROYS of Real Tariff
Revision They Must Retire the
Standpatters.

1t is certain that the Payne-Aldrfch
bill in its final form, If acceptable to
President Taft, will contain many hun
dred reductions from the Dingley du-
ties; but 1t Is equally certain that
those reductions will be. fewer and
less drastic than the country desires
and demands. Something must be
done and planned to secure still fur
Their concessions from the standpat
leaders in congress-.
The only available ground Of attack.
obviously, is to reduce the number OF
standpatters sc that in the senate, for
example, the organization may be
taken over by the progressives and
leave the Aldrich crowd in a minority;
n even this a only be done In
states like Indiana, where tariff re-
form sentiment is more powerful than
desire for high duties. The Chicago
Record-Herald puts it in this way:
1.-The voters of the United States
can not strike directly at Aldrich.
1.-The voters of Rhode Island will
not.
But the voters of each and every
state should strike as directly as pos
sible and as often as possible against
every man in either house of congress
who enlists under the Aldrich banner"
There is hope for success in the un.
dertaking, by reason of the non-par.
tisan character 1t has assumed; for
the. most uncompromising standpat.
tiers come from both Democratic and
Republican states. In the Republican
states of the north we shall have to
elect Republican r%evisionists and in
the Democratic states of the south we
shall have to elect Democratic revi-
sionists. From New England, as from
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South
Carolina and Texas in the south, and
California, Colorado, Oregon, Washing
ton, Wyoming and Montana In the
west, little can be expected in the way
of tariff revision gains. Pennsylvania
and West Virginia are hopelessly high
tariff. But the states OF New York.
New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and
possibly Kentucky and Tennessee,
ought to send revisionists to the sen
ate who will vote with the present
members from Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota and Maryland. Until i'm
portant changes along these lines
be effected in the senate, 1t will be
difficult to secure any considerable re-
auctions from the schedules of the
Payne bill, especially as there are al
fall down on particular schedules, as
the Democratic senators from Florida
did when it came to ~pineapples, or as
the new Democratic senator from Ore
gon did when it came to the tariff on
lumber.-Indianapolis.S Star.

Salads.

To serve after a fish course or
heavy meats the salad should be a
crisp vegetable, preferably cucumbers
or tomatoes, with French dressing
With game, serve chicory, water.
cress or any kind of lettuce.
With roasts, the best salad is of
lettuce with apple or any light fruit.
Garlic in potato salad is liked by
epicures and a Glove of garlic rubbed
around the salad bowl is enough to
give it flavor.
Heavy meat salads are sometimes
served at dinner, but they do not in.
terfere with the delicate salad which
accompanies the meat or fish. They
must, however, be served first; no
salad after the meat.

A MARBLE bust of Theodore ROOse-
"A welt is soon to be placed in a niche
in the senate chamber in Washington
alongside all the other vice-presidents
of the United States since John
Adams. The sculptor, James l..
Frazier of New York city, has finished
his work. He has modelled two busts
and it only remains for the committee
of the library to choose. That is what
it is trying to do now.
The trouble is the two busts are SO
different. One shows the calm and
thoughtful Roosevelt, and it is said to
be perfect in it's way.
The other portrays his as vice-presi-
dent as the senate knew him best,
with fiery eye, %protruding jaw and
tense facial muscles-in short. the

CHARGES ALL TRUE
Mr.. BRYAN RIGHT IN INDICTMENT
OF REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Democratic Leader Said Opponents
Were Impotent to Accomplish Re-
forms, and Time Has Proved
Correctness Of Assertion.

In his speech at Lincoln, Neb., Au.
gust IL, 1908, accepting the Democrat
tc nomination for the presidency, Mr..
Bryan charged that the Republican
party lis impotent to accomplish the
reforms which are imperatively
needed. Further. / can not concur in
the statement That the Republican
platform u~nequivocally declares for
the reforms that are necessary; on the
contrary, l affirm that it openly and
VIGOROUSLY d%isappoints the hopes and
expectations of reformers, whether
those reformers be Republicans or
Democrats"
drich has been zealously proving the
truth of MI. Bryan's charges. Moth
Ing has been required of MI. Bryan
but to bide his time while Mr.. Aldrich
and the Republican majority produced
the evidence.
On the whole the tariff bill passed
ny the house was a better measure
than was to have been expected in
the circumstances. 1t was a genuine
attempt at downward revision. 1t rec
ognized that the consumers demand
for relief was justified.
From the very beginning Senator AL
drich showed that his purpose was to
undo the work of the house. He de-
MED impudently that the Republican
party was under any obligation, ex-
pressed or implied, to reduce the Ding
ley schedules. He openly repudiated
the pledges of downward revision
given by Mr.. Taft and other Repub-
lican candidates during the 1908 cam
paign. His policy has been to restore
the Dingley rates lowered by the
house and he has systematically un
dertaken to raise many OF them. The
Aldrich tariff out-Dingleys Dingley.
Yet its author asserts hat 1t fulfills
the promises made by the Repub-
lican party at Chicago.
AS for the income tax. Senator AL
drich has always opposed it. He adj
mits on the floor of the senate that
he only accepted the corporation tax
as a means of beating the income tax.
1t was Mr.. Taft's suggestion, but Sen
ator Aldrich promises the repeal of
the corporation tax within two years.
That means the repeal of the publicity
clause which Mr.. Taft in his special
message said is the most important
part of the bill. Having tricked Mr..
Taft on the revision of the tariff, Sen
ator Aldrich proposes to trick him
with the corporation tax.
Senator Aldrich is In full control In
the senate. His leadership is recog-
nized at the White House. In the re-
vision of the tariff he has falsifed Mr..
pledges, and in such reforms as
the corporation tax and it's publicity
provisions he purposes multiplying Mr..
efforts. The Republican party's
to accomplish reforms, as
Bryan foresaw, comes from Sena-
Tor Aldrich's hostility to such reforms
and from the party's support of him as
rs foremost e~DreSentati

WOULD REGAIN STOCK
PRESENTED EMPLOYEES
Typewriter Magnate Hammond
Again a Figure in Court

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An attempt
by James B. Hammond, head of the
Hammond typewriter company, to re-
woke a trust agreement by which he
virtually gave $50 shares of the stock
of that company to employees was ar
gued in court today.
Hammond's counsel informed the
court that in February last, believing
that he was about to die, Hammond
appointed trustees to distribute the
stock among those of his employees
whose length of service warranted It,
Later an attempt was made to show
that Hammond was mentally unsound,
but he was twice adjudged sane. In
June he visited Europe and recovered
his health, but while absent learned
that the stock was being distributed.
He had expected this to take place
only after his death.
Harmon returned to America and
recovered most of the stock. The
courts are asked to enjoin the bene-
ficiaries from appropriating the ball
ance. Hammonds counsel said the
stock in question was worth $1,000. 900.

TAFT WILLING TO
DISCUSS TARIFF
President Ready to Defend Adj
ministration on Recent Legis=
lation on Customs Duties

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 2s.-It was
intimated at President Taft's cottage
today that the administration was pre-
pared to defend to the last ditch its
record on the recent tariff Legislation.
This was unofficially stated in con-
nection with an announcement that
Senator Aldrich would be here Thurs
day. The chairman of the senate
finance committee, it was said, would
discuss with the president the report
of the money commission and other
matters. These other matters" are
supposed to include talk on the
tariff.
If the western opponents of the new
tariff bill expect silence from the presi-
dent or reluctance on his part to dis
cuss it's different provisions they will
be disappointed. The administration
has burned its bridges and is ready
and willing to debate any and all
schedules.
The president has selected $50 census
supervisors and has 134 more to dis
cover. He hopes to find most of them
before he leaves for the west, as we'll
as members of the so called foreign
tariff commission.
