this conclusion: a remedy which

relied upon to perform the same work
in other cases. Read this

Why the Crops Were Big.
(Incorporated)

We thought it would happen; and
it has. Senator Depew has attempt
ed to vindicate the new tariff law.
He made a speech in the Senate from
which the following is quoted:
with the passage of the new tariff
bill, we enter upon period OF pros
perity unknown in the history OF this
or any other country. From results
gathered by careful examination all
over the country, there will be an in
crease in the production Of winter
wheat, spring wheat, corn, oats, bar
ley in 1909 over 1908, in round
numbers, of one thousand and one
hundred and sixty-nine millions of
bushels, or q per cent, and that u
per cent. increase is in comparison
with a normal year. There will be
an increase in the hay crop in the
same period of over three millions
and half of tons. "
We shudder at the thought of the
dismal crop failures that would have
resulted from the passage of a new
tariff law different from the one CIV
en- to the country by Aldrich and
Cannon!-LaFollette's Magazine.

HUGHES FEARS
WALL STREET."
A State Senator Says the Gov.
ernOr Doesn't Dare Oppose
the Worst Gamblers.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. Senator Grady
made a sensational attack on Gov
ernor Hughes in the state senate. 1t
was the governors proposal in his
message to penalize dhe practice OF
bookmaking that aroused the ire of
the senate minority leader to the
point of attack. He said that while
the governor attacked the horse own
er, the bookmaker and the man plac-
ing his bet upon horse race, "he
never had dared to attack the most
monstrous gambling institution in the
world, the New York Stock Ex-
change, and to the end of his career
he will never have the courage to at
tack it."
"Let me call your attention to the
kid-gloved way in which the gov
ernor handles Wall Street. continu-
ed Grady. "When he comes to speak
of bookmaking it is gambling, public
gambling and the distinction of gam
bling outside the track and inside the
track have been obliterated but when
he comes to talk of Wall Street gam
bling, the only gambling with which
he is personally acquainted and upon
which he is an expert authority, then
it becomes speculation, and he desires
to appoint a commission to inquire
whether the most nefarious system
of gambling that exists to-day, Wall
Street gambling, can be reformed
with advantage to the public. p"

EXPORTS INCREASE IN
TEN YEARS 500, 600, 900.
Wonderful Growth in Agricul-
tural Products Shown by
Washington Report

Washington, D. G., Jan. 9.-Nine
billion dollars worth of agricultural
products have been exported from
the United States during the last 10
years, those exported in the fiscal
year 1909 having alone amounted to
practically S9O0,000,OOO, against less
than $500, 100000 in 1899, according
to report of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor.
The exports Of agricultural products
as a whole have increased from S7S5, =
100000 in 1899 to 1898, 100000 in
1909, the highest record having been
made in 1907, when the total exceed
ed ST 100000, 6607 Ut, IN hr e$ 7tett 81 $
049, 600, 600.
While the general agricultural
group thus shows a gain over $780,
600, 900 during the decade under re-
view, it must not be understood that
the growth applies to all or even IA
large share of the important items.
On the contrary, most of the staple
farm products used for food, such as
breadstuffs, meats and live cattle,
show decreased expectations during
the period, the loss in that line of
articles having been more than offset
by the great increase in cotton and
certain comparatively new industries
whose chief development has occur,
red in the last few years, notably cot
ton seed oil, corn oil, oil cake and oil

Can This be True?

Governor Hadley has indeed made
for himself a soft and downy berth.
He's living in luxury at the mansion
and making the state pay himself $l2
per month board for each servant he
keeps. When he goes on trip down
the river with Bill Taft and Joseph
Cannon, he draws on the state for his
expenses. The state also bought him
a team of horses and he's even max
ing the state pay their keeping. Gee,
we don't blame men for wanting to
be Governor since Hadley has revo-
lutionized the methods of living at the
mansion. Clarence Courier.

ton here, and probably fatally
wounding Morgan j Emmett, night
agent, in a pitched battle few hours

CATHOLIC LADIES
 TO PROTECT GIRLS
Organize and Will Raise Large Fund to Fight White Slav- cry as it Exists in New II ovoyo


 cry as it Exists in New
 Haven.
 The New Haven Ladies Catholic Association, of which Mrs. Willianl Kay is president, met in the Knights of Columbus club room in Orange street, last evening, to organize and perfect a system of protection for the wayward Catholic girls and boys of New Haven. Women from the various Catholic parishes were pres ent.
 J. J. O'Donnell, William J. Cronin and John J. Kerrigan, as a commit tee from the Knights of Columbus, who are actively interested in rescue work among Catholics, voiced their opinions along various lines of work that the women should adopt.
 MT. O'Donnell was emphatic in his denunciation of the white slave traf- fic in the Elm City, investigation hav- ing proven that many Catholic girls had been induced to go astray by un- police force using their efforts to re- tsrd such wrongs in well known To- calities of the city.
 Another problem confronting us is the girl who earns but $4 per week, who must live and dress upon CIldL SIl1dll Suiu, SblO MI. N bOIl1c1l.
 Many of the girls about the streets have been found to be Catholics. One who was sentenced to the Industrial Home at Middletown last week, will be returned to New Haven today, through MT. O'Donnell's efforts, and placed in St. Francis Home. The Sisters will look after the girls be- tween 14 and 16 years of age, and after that the state provides for their care.
 Miss Stanton, Miss Finnegan, Miss Coyne and Mrs. Kelly were appoint ed a committee to visit Miss Palmer, the assistant probation officer, each week, and ascertain the names of Catholic girls who have been placed on probation, and to further investi- gate as to the home life and improve conditions there where such were ossible.> William Cronin told of the work done among the poor of Sc. Patrick's parish with the $1,00O re- gently cleared by fair. He advo- rated that the Catholic priests of the city be "called up'' when assistance keeping the applicants name off the ,ity books, and children being taunt- d in later years that their parents had been paupers. Catholic institu- tions not being endowed like those of the Protestants makes the work more difficult, but it is the desire of | the Catholics that in the future they | may care for their own boys and girls and not have them placed under obligations to the Protestants.

Most fatal sicknesses have their be- ginnings. in a simple 'cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in a cough.
 Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe is a "cold.''
 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "cold."
 Croup-that terrible maiady of childhood-comes solely as a condi- ton of a "cold.'
 Rheumatism generally follows neg Iect after exposure and the conse- uuent "cold'' or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's S disease and other fatal complications, are often due to "cold'' which set ties in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are recognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in a neglected "cold' or cough.
