upon many of the booths The booths
were dainty creations of crepe paper ar
ranged in novel effects The stage was ar
ranged in the farm of mammoth canopy
and was constructed of innumerable
streamers of green and white.
The fancy-article booth was decorated in
purple and white and was in charge of Mrs.
David Meany, assisted by Miss Nellie
Brady, Miss katherine Calvin and Miss
Margaret Moran. Here were displayed
glittering array of fancy articles, many
suggestive Of lrelands patron saint. The
booth devoted to the sale of home made
confectionery was of green and white,
daintly festooned, and shamrocks were ar
ranged in the form of spangles Mrs. T.

Denning. Miss Mary Long, Misses Mary
and Nellie Austin and Miss Catherine
Fleming.
The fish pond, which furnished no end
Of interesting surprises to those indulging
in the piscatorial art, was a booth con
of the national colors. Mrs.
Helen Leahy was in charge, assisted by
Miss Mary Moylan and Misses Zeta and
Mary Ryan. Green and pink were the dec
,ratons of the lemonade booth, which was

day were both in good taste, free
from abuse and showed that the CAM
paign is pitched upon high plane
and that these gentlemen are above
that character of mud singing which
has so often been INDUCED in by poll
tical aspirants in Kentucky in the
past. Judge Dean presented his
claims in dignified way and thorough

among them are convinced that prices

Tuesday, November l. Prior to en-
tering this order however. Judge, w.

had been employed to Represent the
defendant in the coming trial.
AT the conclusion of the recent trial

gent request of Mr.. Simpsons attor-

with the understanding that he was
to at once leave the neighborhood

ment was not substantially complied
with by Simpson and the matter was
brought to the attention OF Judge
Birkhead and his attorneys and a
bench warrant was issued for his
arrest several weeks ago. The war

What Is The Answer.

American Consuls reports a large
increase in the output of cotton in
various Asiatic countries. II There Is
anything in Free-Trade contentious
this should result in lower prices for
American cotton goods. Complaint
has been made that mills have had
to stop or an advance in price has
been made necessary owing to the
scarcity of the Southern article and
the excessive rates charged. Cotton
comes in duty free, so II there Is
plenty to be had elsewhere what Is
the answer?-Troy Times.

Truth About the Tariff.

II is useless to argue with lunatcs
or with the insincere, but there are
so many in the world who are neith-
er that il does seem worth while TO
consider important matters in the
light OF truth and common sense.
There are some who will be interest
ed.
The Payne-Aldrich Tariff is the
same as the Dingley act, except as
to some reductions in important
schedules and a lesser number OF
increases in less important schedules.
Republicans-also Democrats,except
the mporters-went wild with joy
over the enactment of the Dingley Law
under which the country has greatly
prospered.
Upon the whole the Payne-Aldrich
law is somewhat less Protective than
the Dingley act.
Why, then, this fearful cutlery ?
II law was a most excellent one
twelve years ago, how Is it that one
nearly like it is so Ubiquitous now?
It is mt ubiquitous.
AS a revenue producer 1t Is making
good, and is rapidly restoring treasur
surplus in place of the deficit of the
last few years.
So far from discouraging imports,
there we're 500. 100000 more of import
under the first full year of the Payne
Aldrich act than during the last year
under the pingley act
The average rate of duty collected UNI
der the Dingley act figures at 43.l5
per cent. ad valorem, and the revenue
produced the last year of its opera
ton was $294,377,960.
The average rate OF duty under the
Payne Aldrich law figures at 4l49
per cent. ad valorem and the revenue
which it produced the first year was
1926, 29S, 6O5-a gain of 3l,S6l ,245.
Whom would the 'reformers" pro-
pose to tax to make good the loss OF
that nearly thirty-two million dollars
il the Tariff were reduced?
The mushy-minded people who are
making such an cutlery about the Tariff
know nothing about the Tariff
they are honest.
And most of the mushy-minded are
honest.
But there are some Tariff re-
formers" who are not mushy-minded
and not honest.
They are importers and steamship
owners, and what they want is the
abandonment of Protection and The
adoption of Free-Trade.
They want it for what there Is IN
1t for them.
And the Democrats also propose tt
abandon Protection and adopt Tar
iff bill solely for revenue.
Champ Clark says so and he knows
Nor is there any difference-no mat
ter what they claim-betwecn the In
surgent Republicans and the full-fledg
ed Democrats.
