No More Argument Needed.

In his enumeration of platform

promise that the tariff revision should
be 30 made as to cover only the differ
ence In cost Of production at home and
abroad and reasonable profit to
manufacturers. No Democratic wit
nesses need be summoned to estab-
lish the fact that not even pretense
was made at following this rule. All
1t is necessary to do is to summon
Senator Cummins to the stand, who,
in series of powerful speeches in
Kansas and other portions of the
west. has shown that the platform ut
terances on this point were totally dis
regarded and seemed even to have

was the repelling of the Moros. Salip
Akib had long been the terror of the
coasts. The natives had ben inef-
fective as warriors and the trades
were at the option Of the pirates.
Lieutenant Miller was well prepared
before he struck blow.
Then one summer night the news
was brought that the pirates were
ashore at village up the coast and
the natives were being robbed of their
stores and animals. The raiders had
gorged themselves. had stolen a score
of the pretty women of the settlement
for barter in other ports and were
carousing in the village. The COVER
nor massed his constabulary and crept
upon the town. The pirates were sur
prised, but expected an easy victory.
But they had reckoned without the
big American, who was fiend when
aroused. His followers had been
drilled Into efficiency. but were yet
timid, not knowing their strength
when armed with American guns. But
they followed their chief to battle in
fairly good part. The pirates were
cut to pieces and the bazd broken up.
The American that day won for him
self the title Of "the demon" The
timid natives learned that they were
able to stand against their hereditary
enemy. The gratitude Of the whole
community came to the governor. Re-
cruits came to his arms,

this band under similar conditions and
the results were the same. The timid
natives found that they could fight
and that they liked It. They placed
themselves at the command of the
governor and did his bidding without
question. They came to call him king
and his word was law. They carried
the tales Of him to the ends of the
island and all the people proclaimed
him. None would have dared stand

ton of war among the tribes and the
allotment Of land. In two years he
had brought peace into the whole
island and found 1t in readiness for his
real programme. The fear of his arms
among the Moros became so great
that for six years before his death
there was not piratical raid on any
part Of the island. The natives called
him king, and his powers with them
were absolute. To all intents and pur
poses he was In reality king; for them
there was no authority in the land
but his.

They were intelligent. tractable, mu.

Taft's Weak Argument.

Congress has been in adjournment
less than two months. It would have
been SO easy for the Republicans, had
they been sincere, to make at the last
session those changes in the Aldrich
law demanded by Mr.. Taft instead of
at the next session or the session
thereafter. Mr.. Taft's argument is
that If man refuses to do as he
agreed the first time, that is all the
more reason for asserting that he will
do it the second time.

Gold and Cost Of LIVING.

stand-pat economists still stick to
the massive theory that the great pro.
duction Of gold is the cause of the in.
creased cost Of living. Their breadth
of knowledge is amazing by its alb.
sence.
The higher cost Of living is due to
the higher profits Of eastern mill
bosses under special privilege of the
Aldrich-Taft tariff. To blame 1t on
the increasing supply of gold Is like
blaming, the price of hens eggs on
the war in Nicaragua.

Company's plant in South Chicago was
overturned in some way early yester-

Thomas Powers, 80 years old, was
the victim OF the accident, but the
names of others said TO have been in
iured were hidden by employees OF the
company. Powers was a first-ladle"
man on an early morning shift, and it
was in the performance Of his duty that
he was killed. Powers received practi-
cally the entire mass OF molten metal
over his body and he died in fearful
agony a few moments later, while his
Mortified fellow-laborers stood about
helpless.
The police say that some hitch in
the machinery operating the crane and
bucket made it upset and caused the
death of Powers. The others who
were burned received their hurts when
the pot struck the floor and scattered
its fiery contents about the place.
