And The Yoke Was Placed Upon
Him.

One of the most iniquitiOus
Jobs" in the Payne-Aldrich tar
if bill is the sugar schedule, and
here is what the Kansas City Star
has to say about it:
:" GOvernment statistics just is
sued show that because of the
import duty on sugar each con-
sumer-man, woman and child
pays an average of about $l.25
per year more for this article than
i would cost without duty. This
means an annual tribute Of $3.50
for a family Of five persons, and
Greater Kansas City is paying at
the rate of $437 900 per year for
the luxury Of the sugar tariff. If
the population OF the United
States is 80 millions, the total ex-
cess on account of the sugar tar
iff . is about 112 million dollars
per year. Of this, on a liberal es.
innate, the government gets on
ly about 40 per cent, or $44, $780,
OOO. About 16 per cent goes to
the cost of collecting the duty,
leaving A per cent, Or more than
AZ million dollars annually that
the people pay in cold tribute to
the sugar interests as a bonus.
"lS it right that the people, in
order to foster the sugar industry
+even if it needs fOstering-be
made to pay annually A millions
In duty on an article of necessity
ST., 100000 in addition for the
cost Of collecting this duty, and
over. and above all that nearly 81
millions to the sugar trust and Il
the other sugar intereSts?"

Base Ball.

The base ball season, so far as
1t relates to the Kansas State
League, is about over, the season
winding up at Great Bend Sun
day. The Millers are in fourth
place, and with an even break
with Mcpherson in the present
series will finish there, which is
the sac as was done by them last
year.
Owing to the bad weather last
week, only three of the four game
scheduled to be played at Larned
were played, the MiIlers taking
two out of the three. They won
the first game ) to 4, lost the
second 2 to 0, and won the third
= to 4. On Sunday they began
their last whirl with Lyons, play
ing at home as a transfer game
for that day. They lost 3 to l.
On Monday they also lost 2 to 4,
but on Tuesday they pulled in a
victory, the score being s to 8
and repeating the dose Of defeat
TO the Champions on Wednesday
before a crowd of 1000 fans by
the score of 2 to l.
On Thursday they began the
closing series at home with Ne
PherSOn. We hope that the clos
ing games will be literally pat
rOnized, so that the association
may pull into the clear on the ex
penseS Of the season. We have
mad an excellent article of base
ball all along. While our percen
tage Is not as good as some O.
the fans would like to have it
yet we have a bunch of excellen
players, every one a gentlean, no
crab or a dirty player in tn,
bunch. That is worth a good bi
to the town.

A Pltlful Accident.

One of the most pitiful acci-
dents which has happened in this
city occurred last Friday even
ing when the four year old son
of Mrs. Clyde Nichols fell in a
tub of hot water and was Scalded
to death.
Mrs. Nichols had been washing
and at supper time placed the
children at the table in the kitch-
en-, the tub of water being on the
floor just back of the little fell
lows chair. He was fretful at
the table and in pushing around
pushed the chair over and fell in
the tub of hot water. He was I'M
mediately pulled out and medical
aid summoned but died while be-
ing taken to the hospital in the
abulance.
The father, Clyde Nichols, had
skipped out short time ago and
left the mother and two children
destitute. Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop
had taken them in with them,
and were sharing their little home
with them. The father will be re
membered as a young fellow who
hung about the bowling alleys last
winter and was known as BLACK

Republican party has ever passed,
md therefore the best tariff bill
that has been passed at all"
He said further:

OF lower duties and lower re-

In their view of things their duty.
Evidently it was not Mr.. Taft S
view of things. Armed with "a
scrap of statistical sOphistry mada
up for the guidance of Congress
by a paymaster in the army, -
Senator DOlliver said-the PreSl-
dent at WinOna Sentered an elab-
crate analysis of the Tariff Bill,
designed to show that the Repub-
lican party had already redeem
ed its pledges and that the cOun-
try needed a rest from further
tariff discussion. With a tariff
board, to report only to the Pres
ident, the sum and total of tariff
legislation for this present admin
lStration had been reached.
Following this WinOna speech
of September the President at
New York, on LincOln's birth
day, nearly five months later,
reiterated with only slight and oc
caSiOnal inconsistencies, his ap-
prOval and championship of the
Payne-Aldrich bill. A few ex-
tracts from that speech are IL
Illuminating:

less take the actual operation Of
the tariff bill, for several years,
to show to the country exactly
what the legislation and its eff
fectS are.
1.-The present tariff cannot be
charged with increasing any pric.

That last excerpt might have
been taken from Senator Aldrich

In so far as President Taft s

s. the tariff board and possible
tariff revision, it will be accepted
by. the people for what it is label

But the President is well known

have no effect upon a nation
which must in self protection
look to facts and records.
Nr.'Taft had his chance at real
revision and threw it away. The
