DE Almonds TRAGIC DEATH

The death of Congressman David
DeArmond, and particularly the tragic
manner in which it occurred. has car
ried sadness to the hearts of the
American people without regard to
section or political creed.
Judge DeArmond was born in Penn
sylvania in 1914. His more than
three score years were spent in scenes
of great activity and usefulness. He
had been member of the bar and for
time served on the bench before he
was elected to congress, where he
served for nineteen years. He was.
therefore, always deeply interested in
judicial subjects in congress. and in
addition made a specially of labor
questions.
He was fine type of the scholar in
politics, for few men in congress DOS
sessed such vast and varied informa-
ton.
He was a vigorous and ready deba-
ter. No man was better able to hold
ms own on the floor of the house, and
this frequently brought him into rath-
er violent contact with his colleagues
and opponents. Indeed, his differ
ences with John Sharpe Williams
reached the point of personal violence.
He was regarded throughout the
whole country as one of the staunch-
est supporters of the democratic mar
thy and his death will be sincerely
mourned.-Atlanta Journal.

We owe it to the community in
which We live to do everything we can
in every way possible that will be to
its advantage. Our neighbor's pros-
perity means a great deal more than
some ones who lives elsewhere. We
should bear this in mind in buying our
goods. We can afford to pay our home

than send our money away, knowing

mes. These ru
mors have been so insistent that they
have frequently brought about con.
gressional investigation, and the
proofs have been abundant and some
what amazing.
For the self-same service the Unit
ed States government has paid more
than any other government on the
face of the earth. If the reports cur
rent at the time be true the govern
ment was fleeced many times to a fin
ish. The reports were that its armor
plate was faulty and worthless for the
purposes for which it was intended.
The farmers of the United States
pay more for every steel manufacture
ed article than any other people on
the globe. The farmers of the United
States pay at least fifty per cent. more
for every farming implement manu-
featured at home than the farmers
across the waters pay for the same ar
ticle manufactured by identically the
same firms.
Yet through it all this gigantic trust
is the pampered and petted child of
the republican party
From infancy TO manhood it has
been the recipient of special privi-
leges. To a man with the curiosity
of Zaccheus it looks as if nearly the
whole scheme of tariff legislation is
intended as a benefit for this innocent,
lamb-like corporation.
1t may be said by way of parenthe-
SIS that it has always been a faithful
contributor to the republican cam
paign fund.
When the Standard Oil trust ceased
to magnify the Importance of Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt when he was a
candidate for president it was treat
ed with all the Indifference of a re-
jected lover
Compared with the steel trust, what
has been its offending?
1t has never had any contracts with
the government. 1t has never been
the recipient of bounties at its hands.
1t has received none of the special
privileges of tariff legislation. 1t re-
fuses to make its home people pay
twice as much for its products as the
people abroad. While all the time
refining and purifying its products it
has as constantly reduced the price
of them.
To man like Zaccheus, who was so
anxious to see the truth and be con-
WINGED that he climbed to the top of
a sycamore tree, there appears to be
very sinful in the things we
have enumerated which the Standard
Oil trust have been guilty of doing.
Why is the government an Ishmael
towards it?
No consumer has ever said that it
has been exhorbitant in its charges.
1t has not driven all other companies
from the field, for it has very active
So it has not restrained.
but extended, trade.
What are the crimes charged
against it?
Would it be les majestic to suggest
that it has become a tardy and luke
warm contributor to the republican
fund.
If there are good trusts and bad
trusts it looks like the republican par
ty has made a bad discrimination.

HOPPE QUITS OUTLAWS
Now Free to Meet Demarest, Cline
and All of Them for 1872 Tourney.

Now Free to Meet Demarest, Cline
and All of Them for 1872 Tourney.
After fighting for more than two
years to have the rules governing
championship billiard matches re-
vised to suit his own particular no.
tions Willie Hoppe. the youthful ex'
pert recently capitulated to the So
called trust, and, with Ora Morning
star. another insurgent, signed COM
tract pledging himself to renew the
old allegiance with the powers that
be. This removes the last bar in the
way of a match between Hoppe and
Calvin Demarest, the winner of the
recent tournament for the 1872 balk
line title. Though he has given up
his fight Hoppe will find himself more
or less on the outside for year or
more. He will play a match with
Morningstar in Chicago January l,
to determine which shall have the
privilege of Issuing the next challenge
to the champion, but even there Hoppe
will find, himself baked. Demarest
has already agreed to meet Harry
Cline for the title at Chicago on Feb.
ruary l, 2, and 8, and when the word
was passed that Hoppe was weakening
and would probably be in line within
a few days Albert Cutler, the Boston
player, Immediately shot in a chal-
lenge to meet the winner of the Dem
Arrest Cline match. Under the rules
the winner of the match between
Demarest and Cline will have So days
in which to make up his mind to play
Cutler should he succeed in defeating
Cline. This would put off any match
with Hoppe until away along in June.
1t is hardly probable that a game at
that time of the year would appeal
to either Of the players or the pro-
moters, so it is almost certainty
that Hoppe will be forced to wait un
til next fall at the earliest for chance
at Demarest. In many quarters it Is
claimed that Hoppe has lost some o,
his skill that made him famous How.
ever, his game with Morningstar will
surely show whether he has or not.
