 II was not the first time the Will Hams Cache gang had sworn to get him and had worked together to do it, but for the first time it looked as if they might do it. A single chance was left to Whispering Smith for his life, and with his coat slashed with bullets, he took it.

 Holding their horses to slow walk, the two parties gingerly approached zach other. When the Cache riders halted the railroad riders halted, and when the three rode the five rode; but the three rode with absolute align ment and acted as one, while Whisper ing Smith had trouble in holding his men back until the two lines were 50 feet apart.
 By this time the youngest of the cowboys had steadied and was think ing hard. Whispering Smith halted.

CLOTHING WILL COST
MILLIONS MORE

Is this country willing 10 pay 100 mil
lion nollars more for its mems and boys
clothing next year than it is paving
this Year, How long will the people
endure n tariff system under which such
extortion is possible in only one of the
many necessities of lifef asks the Kan
Sas City Times.
Yet, the estimate that this enormous
increase in the cost of wooden clothing
will be made is not based on an increase
in the tariff. 1t is based on the fact
that congress has refused to lower the
Dingley duties. in spite of the complete
and sensational exposure of the wooden
schedule graft, made by Senator Doll
liver, Senator La Toilette and others.
The fact is that the duties now opcr-
ative are 50 high that this sweeping adj
n can be made without formidable
foreign competition. They are SD high
that even the manufacturers of woolens,
with all their greed, did not ask to have
them advanced. They preferred to
let them remain unchanged rather than
w hlhh tltlh IL SuDJcCl Vi COUSlucTallOn
by the conference committee. And,
they had their way.
There is no reason to believe that
they would not have had their way
even if they had asked an advance.
But they did not need higher duties
not at present. \ clean extortion
of 100 millions in Il year, in addition to
the already enc nous and indefensible
profits made by the wooden trust. is,
perhaps, about all the people can stand.
But it is the determination of this and
the other trusts to scurc all that the
people can possibly pay. And congress
has appeared once more Us Il willing re-
preventative body-for these trusts
and has agreed to maintain duties that
must inevitably not only increase the
cost of living, but also lowers the
standards of life among the masses.
And that, too, in spite of the fact that
the country was led to believe. by both
parties through their platforms, their
candidates and their spokesman, that
the tariff was to be lowered with re,
ference to reducing the cost Of living.
