Disguised Republican.

IL his speech in the Senat" an
nouncing that he could not con.
s~cientlously vote for the confer.
ence report III the tariff bill, Mr..
Clarp [of Minnesota said:
"After we undertook revision OF
the tariff rs a result of a demand
Dy the consumers, a force for the
first time began to arise, not for
protection, but for proft-tc i'll
tensify profit.
"The issue pow ia whether what
was once a benign factor III Amerl-
canlegislation shall be used merely
for tbs purpose Of increasing
profits"
Paying special attention to the
corporation tax provision, Mr..
Clapp inquired what publicity
could be expected as an accom-
paniment of that tax. He could
see none that could be of service
in placing the affairs Of corpora
tons before the country. He
criticised the exemption Ct hold
ing companies from the payment
of the tax and said that their tax
alton would not involve double
taxation, because it would not be
paid by the same persons.
Finally referring to his course
in antagonizing the tariff bill, Mr..
Clapp declared that the Republic
canigm of himself and of those
who agreed with him had been
called into question, II am will
ing to submit my Republicanism,'
he said, ''to the only tribunal ca
pable Of determining ito the
people of my State who sent me

He declared that if a choice were
given him of approving what had
been done by Congress IN the mat
ter of tariff legislation or being
retired to private life, he would
readily accept retirement.

Fewer Arrests and Less Drunkenness.

A little figuring recently done
by Alderman Summersett and
Captain Shaver gives the follow
Ing results. During June and
Jnly, 1908, with two more officers
and a chief, there was a total Of
PAT arrests made, Of this number
1913 were charged with drunkenness,
During the past June and July,
with the reduced force, a total of
50 arrests were made, "a of which
were for drunkenness, This means
under prohibition a smaller police
force ls required, that crime has
decreased about so per cent. And
drunkenness has decreased about
70 per cent, and the.town is rid
of the drunken, cursing and in
suit'ng gangs hanging about the
streets. Though not yet fully rid
OF the blind tigers and whiskey.

Jas. II. Hodge made US q pleas

that there we're a great many
North Carollnians in southern Ii,

that state being enc of the best

Mr.. Hodge said that the panic is
worse there now than ever before

nuisance in church by interfering
with the view of the worshipers in
the congregation. Bishop Moore, pre-
siding In the Ci>cinnati Methodist

lowing condemnation of prevailing

"For woman of moderate means
to pay $4S or $35 or just $40 for the

lutte wickedness.
1T is outrageous nothing e'se,
Why, one womals Easter hat could

cit is a solemn conviction that this

women to show more consideration
for their fellow worshipers? Is there
not something like a proper courtesy
and o decent regard for the opinions
Of others and their convenience and
