Suicide is Jailed as Sus-
pected Lunatic.

Suspected of being a lunatic. John
Owens. a carpenter, of Point Com
fort, who is more Familiarity known
as Jack owens, is a prisoner in the
county jail awaiting an examination
of his mental condition by Justice

at his home at Point Comfort by
Justice Gordon and Constable VIII
liam Post after complaint was made
that the man had become violent aad
that he had threatened to kill him
self with knife but both times was
prevented. The justice and consta-
BILE took the man to jail without
much difficulty.
Ii is believed the excessive use of
spirituous liquors has temporarily

that care and medical attention for a
few days will restore him to normal
condition. He is about 80 years old.

interests are too influential. Prob
ably this is true of both the big in
tterests and the little interests. These
methods have put a premium on
seliishness, and naturally the selfish
big interests have gotten more than
the selfish small interests. The duty
of Congress is to provide method
by which the interest of the whole
people shall be all that receives con
federation. To this end there must
be an expert tariff commission, who'll
ly removed from the possibility OF
political pressure or of improper
business influence. Such commits
sion can find out the real difference
between cost of production, which
is mainly the difference OF labor
cost here and abroad. AS fast as its
recommendations are made, believe
in revising one schedule at time.
A general revision of the tariff al
most inevitably leads to log-rolling.
and the subordination OF the general
public interests to local and special in
terests

Income Tax Desired.
The absence of effective state. aud
Especially national, restraint upon
unfair money-getting has tended to
create a small class of enormously
wealthy and economically powerful
men, whose chief object is to hoLl
and increase their power. There.
forefore believe in grad
ual income tax on big fortunes, and
in another tax which is far more
easily collected and far more effect.
ive-a graduated inheritance tax on
big fortunes, properly safeguardcd
against evasion, and increasing rap,
idly in amount with the size of the
estate.
The people of the United States
suffer from periodical financial pan.
les to degree substantially W.
known among other nations which
approach US in financial strength
There is no reason we should suffer
what they escape. 1t is of pro
found Importance that our financial
system should be promptly investi-
gated, and so thoroughly and eff
fectively revised as to make ii Ger.
tain that hereafter our currency VIII
no longer fail at critical times to
meet our needs.
Better Labor Conditions.
The right to regulate the use OF
wealth in the public interest is uni
versally admitted. Let US admit
also the right to regulate the terms
and conditions of labor, which is the
chief element of wealth, directly In
the interest of the common good.
The fundamental thing to do for
ev1ry man is to give him the chance
to reach a place in which he will
make the greatest possible contrlbu-
ton to the public welfare. We keep
countless men from being good cit
liens by the conditions of life with
which we surround them. We need
comprehensive workmen's compensa-
ton acts, both state and national
laws to regulate child labor and the
work Of women, and especially we
need in our common school not
merely education IN booklearning but
also practical training for daily life
and work. We need to enforce bet
ter sanitary conditions for our work
ers, and to extend the use OF safety
appliances in industry and COM
merce both within and between the
states. Also, friends, in the interest
of the workingmarf himself We need
to set our faces like flint against
mob violence Just as against corpo-
rate greed; against violence and in
justice and lawlessness just as much
as against lawless cunning and greed
and selfish arrogance of employers.
Simpler Political Action.
More direct action by the people
in their own AFFAIRS under proper
safeguards is vitality necessary. The
direct primary is a step in this direc-
ton If it is associated with corrupt
practices act effective to prevent the
advantage of the man willing reek-
lessly and unscrupulously to spend
money over his more honest COM
petitor. It is particularly important
that all moneys received or expended
for campaign purposes should be
