The reasonable man, whether
hidebound in republicanism or
democracy. must admit that our
tariff system needs revision
mighty badly. The American
people have been generous to a
fault in building up great trusts
and millionaires and we believe
that their duty in this line has
been almost overdone if not alto
gether SO. We think it is almost
time that the common people
should be allowed to gather to
themselves some small modicum
of the good things of life. The
pulchritudinous trust magnate
has tor years explained that the
only use of the tariff is to provide
a means by which the American
laborer can compete with the la.
borer OF foreign countries. But we
invite you to look over the fields
of labor today. The poor. gentle
workingman is sincerely begging
for chance to work whether it is
in competition with Europe or
not. He knows that all he can
get out of it is daily food and
poor clothes in any case.

NEW COINS
Lincoln Pennies Are In
Great Demand.

A number of the new Lincoln PEN
nies have arrived in Marion and are
being eagerly examined by local per-
sons. The coins are very unique in
design and are thought by many to be
quite handsome. To others, however,
the new coins are displeasing and for
the most part they do not appear TO
win favor so much as might be eX-
pected. A number of the coins are on
exhibition in the window of Comer's
smoke house and other firms also
have the coins in their possession.
The pieces bear a likeness of Abra-
ham Lincoln done in a neat design.
To the left at the base of the engrav-
ing is found the word Liberty" set
apart from the other designs which
appear on the coin. over and above
the Lincoln engraving are the words
"In God We Trust" concerning which
there was so much discussion some
months ago. On the back of the coin
design something like that OF the
old pennies is to be found. In large
letters are the words zone Cent and
the date.
1t is supposed that the coins will
not be In general circulation here be-
fore several weeks because of the
great demand for them over the
country generally.

Rescue.
Elevator Boy Ran TO Catch the eleva-
tor Which Had Started Up-Sad
Accident Occurred at Pilgrim Inn
at Late Hour.

One OF the most hideous accidents
that has occurred in Marion for many
years resulted shortly after IL o'clock
Monday night when William Hartley,
colored and aged about twenty, was
mangled in an elevator at the Pilgrim
Inn. He died early Tuesday morning.
For nearly one hour the victim was
wedged in three inch space between
sill and the elevator floor. Conscious
ali the time and suffering untold agony
the plucky young man directed the
movement Of his rescures while they
put forth desperate efforts to release
him.
Hartley was employed as porter and
elevator boy at the hotel. He was
about to return from the second floor
after having carried travelling man
to his room, when the accident oc-
Cured. After transferring the guest S
baggage to his room, the porter return
within Few feet of the shaft, for
some unknown cause, the elevator
started to ascend. Fearing that an
accident would result, he made a run
ming leap for the rapidly moving car.
His feet slipped, but he clung to the
elevator floor with his elbows and tb
next instant the car had arrived at the
third floor. The elevator ran upwards
ito a point almost even with the regu-
lar stopping place before 1t stopped.
The porters body wedged tightly be-
tween the hotel floor and elevator
caused one of the cables of the car to
jump pulley, bringing it to stop.
The groans of the victim attracted
the attention OF night clerk George
Taite who Immediately summoned the
assistance of several hotel employees.
A few minutes later the central fire
department was called. Fire Chief
Tom Mcfarland, four firemen and the
hook and ladder outfit. responded. The
| task of rescue was found not to be by
any means, an easy one. After try
! in6 manly PiaitS vi itiNaoihb tuC VIZ
tim, the firmen learned that the only
way was to saw out a portion of the
elevator floor, cutting through the
wood and steel floor proved a slow
process. The fremen worked with
great energy and in about forty min
futes. Hartley was lifted from his po-
sition.
About the only complaint that came
from the lips of the victim during the
long hour of the rescue was that his
feet hurt him. The firemen relieved
this suffering by propping them up
from below with ladder.
Hartley collapsed shortly after he
was removed frcm the elevator shaft.
He was placed In the Hess and Mar
kert ambulance and transferred to
the central emergency hospital. DR..
Herman Rhu was summoned. "A
hastily examination disclosed that the
victim has sustained fatal injuries.
