of alien women and girls who enter
regularly, and also to some extent of
American women and girls. The
Federal officers have not discovered
positive evidence of the existence OF
a syndicate for those nefarious pur-
poses, but there is among those who
conduct business a. certain esprit de
corps, and there are in several cities
clubs and headquarters where they
congregate."
In some cities, it is declared, the
traffic is connected with local politi-
cal conditions and some of the mum
icipal authorities are implicated or
otherwise helpless to assist in Grad
icating the evil. The federal gov
ernment's powers, it IS stated, are so
limited as to make it essential If any
marked progress is to be expected
that the states and cities shall awake
to the seriousness of the situation
and exercise their undoubted author
ity to put down the evil.
During the year there was a mark
ed increase in deportations as re-
suit of the campaign against the
traffic. The provisions on this sub
ject in the bill submitted by Mr.
Keefe to carry out his recommends
tions are in principle the same as in
the bill which already has passed the
house except that they do not go so
far ir the features affecting inter-
state regulation of the practice.
Qualification is expressed as a re-
suit of the "experiment in immigra-
ton control" as affecting the Japan
csc, constituted by law, proclama-
tions and regulations following the
anti-Japanese agitation in California
several years ago.
There has been a material reduc-
ton in both the number of Japanese
admitted and deported In 1908,
3,544 Japanese were admitted to con-
tinental United States and 1854 to
Hawaii, while for 1909 the CORES
bonding figures are 2,i32 and 1893.
The number admitted to the main.
land and Hawaii was only about 25
per cent and II per cent respectively
of the numbers for 1908.
Contrary to the general impression
Chinese admitted to the United
States have increased during the

recon mendatiOns which the commits
|sioner says may be considered revo-
lutionary, but are regarded as neces-
sary if the law is to be effective and
satisfactory.
During 1909, 6,393 Chinese were
regularly admitted against 1924 in
1908, 1886 in 1907, and 1882 in 1906.
The worst feature the commissioner
says is that the increase is almost
confined to classes the members of

months of January to June, 1909, how
ever, showed increases over the

buted by the commissioner princi-

| Reference is made again to the in

problem arising from the fact that a
VERY large proportion of immigra-
ton is coming from Southern and
Eastern Europe, those countries fur

question concerning every patriotic

\ Taft Won't lnterfere

The new railroad rate law will not
De used to keep down railroad rates.
Correspondents at the summer cap
ital at Beverly, Mass, recently got
this news. 1t means that the strong
est feature of the new railway law is
to be a deadletter under the Taft ad.
ministration.
The section of law referred to is
that giving power to the interstate
commerce commission, on complaint
against an increase, to suspend any
freight rate for eleven months pend
ing decision as to the justice of the
rate. This section was forced into the
law by the Democrats and insurgents
and was strongly opposed by Presi-
dent Taft and the Aldrich- Cannon reg
ulars
Being hostile to this feature of the
new law, President Taft will not use
it to prevent the railroads from in
creasing their rates.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
FROM lightning STROKE

which was burned was a frame struc-
ture about 40 or 80 by so feet, 1t con-
tanned all the wheat, hay and other
crops, including the wool clip for this
year, The hay crop alone was worth
more than $3.50, and the combined
crops which had been stored there
were worth $500 or 5000, it is stated.
In addition, all the machinery and
tools for use on the farm were burn
ed. The elder Mitchell had $500 in
surance on the barn and Clifford
Mitchell had $500 insurance on the
contents, but, of course, this will not
cover the loss in either case.
This is the third disastrous fire
there has been ON the Mitchell farm
within comparatively short time. The
barn burned once before and at anoth-
er time the house was destroyed.
Mr., Mitchell was in the basement
of the barn when the lightning struck
It. For time it was feared that Mr..
Mitchell might not recover, hut it is
stated today that the reports of his
condition are more favorable.

Clifford Mitchell farmer residing
near Hastings, in Monroe township,
had narrow escape from death by
lightning stroke Wednesday evening
about the supper hour The barn and
all its contents were burned and a
COW was killed by the same stroke of
lightning, says the Mansfield News.
Mr.. Mitchell, who is a brother-in-
law of Attorney Charles l.. Mcclellan,
of this city, resides on the farm of his
father, John Mitchell. He was in the
barn milking a COW when the storm
broke. The lightning struck the barn,
knocked Clifford Mitchell insensible
and killed the COW outright, The barn
was fired and burned to the ground,
together with all the contents.
The hired man, Roy Collins, who
happened to be near at hand, saw that
the barn had been struck and went in
and rescued the unconscious man, car
rying him to the house, He remained
in an UNCONSCIOUS condition for some
time, but improved somewhat after a
doctor had been summoned The barn

(By clyde H. Tavenner)

Washington, July 20 - Protection
makes politics a business proposition.
In the last congressional election
for instance, the tariff trusts spent
large sums of money to bring about
the election of candidates who had
secretly or otherwise pledged them
selves to revision upward.
These contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign fund were invest
ments in every sense of the word.
The trusts figured that if Republicans
were elected the tariff on the particu-
lar commodities in which they dealt
would be kept sufficiently high to bar
out competition and assure them mon
opolies on American, markets.
With this end in view the tariff
trusts and combinations of manufac-
turers contributed literally to Repub-
lican campaign funds.
The expenditure of this tainted mon
ey enabled the Republicans to domin-
ate Congress! The tariff was revised
upward! The manufacturers were
given their monopolies! Prices were
boosted!
The result is that the people are
now repaying to the tariff trusts, in
increased prices, not only the
amounts invested as contributions to
the Republican campaign fund, but
they are also paying a profit varying
from 100 to 1000 per cent besides.
And in the meantime the big cor
porate interests have taken the reigns
of government out of the hands of the
people, into their own, for safe keep
ing. Such is the milk of the protec
ton cocoanut.

Government BY Money

1t cost Joseph G. Sibley $40, 0,69S. .83
to win the, Republican nomination for
Congress in the Twenty-eighth Dis
trict Of Pennsylvania. Mr. Sibley re-
ceiyed 10,446 votes at the primaries,
and each vote represented an expendi-
ture of nearly $4. AS his plurality was
only $50 it is fair to say that his NOM
ination was brought about by the
sheer power of money.
At the primaries in the Thirteenth
District of Pennsylvania John Dalzell
spent $4,000, most of which was con-
tributed by protected manufacturers.
The combined expenditures of Sibley
and Dalzell I'm these two districts
were nearly $4,000. Their combined
salaries as Representatives in Con
gress for two years will be only $780,
900 Their nominations, therefore,
cost almost $4,000 more than the
emoluments of their office, exclusive
of mileage and stationary allowances.
Contributions to the party of revi-
sion upward is a paying business in
vestment, particularly to the tariff
trusts.
Men will always pay thousands to
politicians or to party funds in the
hope of getting back millions. Make
the tariff one for revenue only, and
you cut off leading cause of polite.

The Democratic Campaign
The Democrats need gain but twen-
ty-two seats in the next house of rep
resentatives to obtain a numerical
majority.
The present Republican majority is
forty-three. At least eighteen Repub-
licans hold their seats by margin
less than 1000 votes
Twenty-nine Republican seats in
the present house of representatives
are held by less than 1000 votes.
Every local Democratic committee
has heavy responsibility. The char
acter of the nominee in every district
is supremely important. Democracy
can not challenege the enemy with
weak or colorless candidates. The
people want absolute assurance that
the men they vote for will stand four
square when the first real test comes
in organizing the next congress.
Democratic candidates must stand
on an equivocal platform of real tariff
revision.
The Democratic party, through both
national and local organizations, must
be prepared TO shoulder full RESPONSE
bility for removing tariff burdens from
the people.
The Democrats have a real issue to
carry them to victory, and can lose
only by failure to grasp its signific-
ance.
