HIGH COST OF MATERIAL
CLOSES SMALL FACTORY

The Chillicothe MOI Constitu-
ton says: 1.-THE closing down of
the Chillicothe overall factory be-
cause Of the increased cost of ma
terial caused by the Payne Aldrich
tariff should open the eyes of the
people of this vicinity to the direct
ly injurious effect OF the high tariff
system. When the passage of
tariff bill puts out OF employment a
hundred men and women of this
community ii is time to make pro-
test. The most effective protest
against such measure is the ballot.
A measure which increases tariff
schedules to such an extent is not
protective tariff. 1t Is destructive
tariff to the consumer and laborer.
1t is "A graft for the trusts which
need no protection. The Republi-
cans and Democrats alike were cut
loose from their wages by the high
tariff. The Republican and Demo-
crat should join forces at the ballot
box and vote against the candidates
and party chat advocate the Payne
Aldrich tariff law as a beneficial
measure

ment; 1t is not before the court /;
however it may be added that the
question of prohibition is a subject
matter for amendments to Con-
sttutlon, as well as subject mat
ter for the statutes, and we APP
prehend that possibly those in.
terested have seen to it that the
proposed measure was constitu-
tional in character rather than leg.
islative.
In other words, the sale of Ii
quor may be regulated permanent
~ or temporarily. Where the
sale is prohibited by law, the law
passed by one Legislature may be
repealed by the next. This in one
sense gives the temporary or legis-
lative character. When prohib-
tied by the Constitution or organic
law, it has a degree of permanency.
1t prohibits further Legislative ac
ton. 1t remains so until the max.
ers OF the organic law again speak.
Not so with the alleged amendment
now before us. Its temporary
character is written upon its face.
In fact, as stated in the opinions,
it is not, and cannot be, construed
as constitutional amendment.
This suggestion about the pro.
posed prohibition amendment be-
ing the only new matter, the mo-
ton for rehearing should be, and
is overruled."

PROHIBITION AND
GERRYMANDERING.

The Supreme Court of the State
gave another fall to the Hadley-
Swanger senatorial district gerry.
mander last Monday. Having
heretofore decided against the al.
legged constitutional amendment,
in its decision last Monday the
court denied a motion for rehear-
ing. In the motion for rehearing
the argument was advanced that
if the gerrymander amendment is
in fact not an amendment but a
legislative act, then the proposed
prohibition amendment is fatally
defective. The court, in its opin-
ion, very pointedly says that the
proposed prohibition amendment
has nothing to do with this case,
that no one has questioned its va.
ldity, and that it is not before the
court; but Notwithstanding this
fact the court takes up the sugges-
ton and clearly shows its fallacy.
On this point the courts opinion
says:
There is, as above indicated,
but one new subject. The sug-
gestions, for what purpose we
know not, urge that if this pro-
posed amendment is in fact not an
amendment but a Legislative act,
then the present proposed prohibi.
ton amendment is fatally defec-
tive. The proposed prohibition
amendment has nothing to do
with!this case; no one has cues
toned the validity of that amend.

DESERVING THE OLD GUARD.

The story from Beverly Saturday
that President Taft has decided to
desert the "old guard'-Cannon
Aldrich, Ballinger, at ain order
to secure the Endorsement of RoOse-
welt and pave the way for Republi-
can success in the COMPRESSION al
elections this fall, lacks artistic
verisimilitude in the fact that the
"Old guard" has placed itself prac-
tically beyond the pale Of desertion
Aldrich has already eliminated
himself from Office by refusing to
stand for reelection; Ballinger, 1t
has been known for months, is wait
ing only for an official vindication
before resigning, and CannOn-well,
"Uncle Joe" has been stunned into
silence by recent results. Nobody
knows where hes at, nor, despite
his fighting prOcliyities, does he
know himself.
1t Is tolerably well-estOblished
fact, though, that the defeat of Can
nonism ut the coming session of
Congress is already established.
Not only in Kansas, but In Iowa,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and South Da-
kOta, the Speaker has lost ground
And the sum total of present losses
is sufficient to turn the scale con-
clusively against him.

now showing, be turned into rout

ROOSEVELT, INSURGENT,

The question of whether Col.
Roosevelt is n regular OF an lusur.
gent has been settled by the New
York Republican machine to its
own satisfaction, and it has de.
clined to coquette with him. He
has been trying to boss things in
his State after the style of when he
welded the big stick" with some
authority behind it, but in each
instance his assumption of bossing
Gotham politics has met with de-
cided jolt. Aud now comes an.
other, the most decisive repudia-
ton of all.
Mr.. Roosevelt had given his
loyal worshipers to understand
that the Craftsmanship of the State
Republican Convention would be
very acceptable to him. But Chair,
man Woodruff of the State Repub-
lican Committee. who had been
notified by Mr.. Roosevelt recently
that he must quit as chairman be.
fore the fall campaign begun,
couldn't see it in that light. He
was something of State boss him
self, and he didn't purpose meek
ly stepping aside for Teddy or any
body else, but lnodestly replied
that he would get out as soon as
his successor was elected. So,
when it was known that Col. Roos.
evelt wanted to be chairman of the
State Republican Convention.
Chairman Woodruff got busy.
The State Committee met last
Tuesday, and it proceeded prompt.
ly to put the returned hunter in
the insurgent class, declaring in
short order by vote of 20 to IL
that Vice President Sherman and
not Col. Roosevelt should be tenn
porary chairman of the convention.
This bold rebuff, however, will
serve to draw the insurgents closer
to Col. Roosevelt and Col. Roose-
welt closer to them, and thus the
Republican house. divided against
itself, will 90 on tottering to its
overthrow in November.
Teddy isn't the sort to take one
in the face like that without coun-
tering, and we may look for
mighty interesting proceedings
when the New York State Conven-
ton meets of the 9th Of next
month.

EYES TURNED RIGHT.

The insurgents have their eyes
turned in the right direction, but
they are 10th to leave the SodOm
of protection aud move forward to
the fields of equal rights to all,
special privileges TO none" They
say we are Republicans and stand
for the Republican doctrine of pro.
lection, but--we want the tariff
revised downward. The light has
not yet penetrated their under
standing that any degree of pro-
tectlve tariff is a special privilege
granted to whatever class of bust
ness it prOteCts-a privilege that is
not granted to all classes Of bust
ness and is therefore government
favoriteism. 1t enables special
! privileges to levy tribute on all
consumers of their products.
The Payne Aldrich tariff is only
logical sequence of the policy of
protection. The extreme to which
! its progeultOrs have carried the
idea has awakened the people to
thought on the subject. Even
some Republicans protest and say
this is carrying our pet policy of
protection too fart is an injus.
tice TO the people, to consumers.
They are branded as insurgents
for taking this stand, and for crit
iciSing the methods of the special
privilege class in forcing their
measures through Congress with
an Administration and Congress
elected by means Of enormous cam
paign funds furnished by tariff
bred monopoles and trusts, But
the principle remains the same,
whether the protection afforded is
more or less, whether the tariff i'm.
posed is high or low. 1t takes
money out of one mans pocket to
reinforce the business of another
man either way, aud is only the
difference between grand larceny
and petit larceny,
Our insurgent friends make the
mistake of thinking that there is
or can be any justice in the pro.
tective tariff theory; but they have
their eyes in the right direction,
and that is some progress. If they
ever get their mind and affection
turned fairly away from the idol of
protection, so that they can behold
the glory of the fair fields of
equal rights to ALL special privi-
lege to none" they will move for
ward with more confidence and
leave the Sodom Of protection to
its fate.

to Lowell, Mass, last year. and which In

There are those who each year buy the
latest and at the same time leave with
the dealer the last seasons model to be
disposed of at a sacri1ce-the used car
buyer enters on the scene and reaps the
benefit of the transaction
so important has this branch Of auto
mobile selling become that the leading
houses now have we'll equipped used car
departments, as much attention being given
to this branch of the work as to any of the
other various ramihcatonS of the automo-
bile business, such as garage and storage,
repair or supply departments
In our own case the used car department
has, during the last two years, grown into
considerable Importance. We have a reg
Ular clientele in this branch of effort, the
same as prevails in our department for the
sale Of new cars-people who believe in our
policy of fairness, which we try to carry
out in this as we'll as all other branches OF
our business.
The time was not so far distant when a
basement or any out of the way spot was
considered sufficiently good to show used

thoroughly examined and compared with
others.
In addition to used Sterns cars we al
ways have some choice bargains in cars
of other makes, left with us for sale by
new customers who have recently 6econe

moderate and high grade cars, and are, as

MORE VANDERBILT ENTRIES
Pope Hartford Cars Entered for
the Great Fixture.

The announcement of the nomination of
two Pope Hartford cars for the Vanderbilt
Cup race on October l Will be Of great in
terest to lovers of the sport.
The Pope Hartford cars have never been
driven in the Vanderbilt race. The cars
are entered by H Emil Holt and B. c.
Fincke, of the local company Drivers for
the two cars have not been named.
In this connection 1t is interesting to sur
mise whether or not Messrs. Holt and
Fincke will drive the cars themselves
During the summer hill climbs they have
driven Pope Hartfords to hard won vic
tories at Ossining and Port Jefferson It
is understood that the cars which will be
produced to enter this race will be sur
urises to some of the makers who have
deemed their own cars very fast
IT is the entering of cars Of this type,
driven by men of the type OF the entrants.
which goes a long way toward keeping the
enort where it should be and making this
race in particular a Cleanly fought con-
test.
Two further entries have been made also
for the Grand Prize race. These are Mar

Used Car Business Grosvf,19
How One Automobile Firm Has Developed and
Increased This Feature of Its Trade

Few persons realize" says e S. Part
ridge, vice-president Of WycIsoff, Church &
Partridge, Ito what an extent the handling
and sale of used automobiles have devel-
oped during the last two or three years.
Side by side with the general develop
ment and rapid progress in the selling Of
new motor cars there has gradually sprung
UP a persistent demand for used cars
among growing class of customers who
are either unable or unwilling to pay the
full price for the automobile of their
choice, or who prefer to purchase an over
hauled high grade car one or two seasons
old rather than Of cheaper con-
struction and inferior quality and perform
ance.
1T Is surprising to note the high char
acter Of the majority of the present day
purchasers of used cars. 1t is a very com
! mon thing to be able 10 buy a used auto
mobile q reduction of from one-quarter
to one-half its original price, and if it is
a car of high grade it may have been run
only few thousand miles-just enough TO
put 1t in the finest condition for ll-around
touring. This applies particularly to cars
of high grade ranging in original price from
$4,000 to $500.
Such a car is often In better running
condition after one or two seasons ,1se
than when at first purchased. It is usually
equipped with several hundred dollars
worth Of extras, such as additional shoes,
top. etc, for which no extra charge is
made. The person buying such car from
