of Decoration Day first originated In
Richmond, Va, with a little band OF

80, 1866. and was adopted the next
year, 1867, by Confederate women
throughout the south. to be systema-

Until recently the province of Que

cents a cord ON pulpwood cut from
crown lands. Under the Aldrich-Taft
tariff. which its sponsors claimed
would humble Canada. a countervail-
ing import duty of 80 cents per ton
was charged on paper made in Que
bee from pulpwood cut from crown
lands. A few days ago Quebec dropped
the export tax in question and enacted
law prohibiting export of pulpwood
from crown lands The Aldrich-Taft
tariff abolished the countervailing inn
port duty of 81 cents per ton of pa
per The Aldrich-Taft tariff answer
to 25-cent export tax was 35-cent

answer to prohibition of export is the

Cause for Expensive Living.


Another cause of the higher cost OF
living-one which is especially oper-
alive in the United States and the Con-
tinental countries of Europe-is the
increasing rates of customs tariffs and
of taxation due to militarism. IL is
impossible to attribute the generally
higher prices due to the heavy load
of taxation laid upon the consumer to
a general cause. like the eheapening CT
gold. In the United States the enor-
nous sums spent by our national gov
eminent on harbors and rivers. on pen
sions, on the army, and especially on
the new navy, must be paid for by
somebody, and that somef ody is the
consumer of the taxed goods. Non an
average imported dIdable goods are
increased in price to the American
consumer by over 40 per cent. But.
to the extent that importations are i'm
peded. not all of this tax of over 40
per cent goes to the government, but
mucn of it gees to the protected in
terests. The duties are so, high as not
to be revenue duties, and our treasury
gets only about sS0O,OOO.00O of Is

special privilege. They are convinced
that the Aldrich-Taft revision did not
break these chains of privilege. The
people want the tariff revised-not by
friends of the tariff, but by friends OF
the people. No real revision is posi-
bic by the paid attorneys of trusts. In
appealing for votes. therefore, pro-
gressive platform writer's should keep
uppermost this central truth-that it
is not struggle between political par
ties at all, but between the people and
the money power.
Let the platforms be simple and di-
rect, going to the root of this nations
greatest economic affection. A trust
controlled tariff is public enemy, and
the people are ready to fight it under
proper leadership. The waving of party
banners will not do this year The old
battle-cries will not help revival of
national conscience. Besides being
simply stated, the platforms of the
progressives in all States should set
out in clear and precise terms that the
battle between men and money knows
no sectional bounds.

WELSH DECLARED
WINNER On FOUL

CARDIFF, Wales. Dec. 2O.-Freddie
Welsh, lightweight champion of Eng
land won his fight with Jem DriscoL,
the featherWeight champion, in the
tenth round tonight on a foul.
The fight was a scheduled 20-round
match for a purse of $4,000, the largest
ever put up in Great Britain for small
men. Several thousand persons wit
messed the bout and, notwithstanding
the betting favored Welsh, the specta-
tors We're greatly disappointed with the
content when il came to an unexpected
end. due to Driscoll butting his op-
ponent under the chin with his head.
Welsh, besides being five years
younger than Drlscoll, had the advan-
tage of weight and reach. His blows
were heavier than those of the feather
weight and showed he was able to take
more punishment.
In the first round Driscoll had the
advantage in points, but in the second
Welsh landed several hard blows, and
his extra weight (ten pounds) began
to tell. In the fourth he sent DrisColl
to his knees, and the betting went from
2 to l to to 1 in his favor.
The lightweight champion inflicted
several damaging kidney punches i'll
the seventh, but in the next round
Driscoll got home couple of hard
lefts.
He followed these up with a game
exhibition throughout the ninth, honors
being even. 1t was seen in the tenth,
however, that Driscoll was fast tiring
In one of the clinches he persistently
butted his opponent, and the referee
finally disqualified him.
The seconds of both men jumped into
the ring and promptly came to clinches.
Some blows were struck, and it was
with difficulty that the police parted
the warning partisans.
The winner took 90 per cent of the
purse and the loser 40 per cent.
Neither man showed effects of punish
ment after the bout was over.
