Roosevelt cost the republican party

republican tariff is responible for the
high cost of living. The people have
more today of everything that makes
for comfort. They have rapid transit,

automobiles, what not. Well, who's go
ing to pay for it? The people them

st. Louis, November 20.-The fifth an
nual convention of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf
Deep Waterways association, to be held
here beginning November 25, is expected

COMMERCIAL CONGRESS
TO MEET IN SAN ANTONIO

San Antonio, Tex, November 20.-Tne
twenty-first annual session of the trans
Mississippi Commercial congress will be-
gin here Tuesday morning. 1t promises
to be more notable than any of the pre-
vious 20 meetings.
Among the matters of foremost interest
is the struggle between New Orleans and
San Francisco for Endorsement as the
place for holding the Panama Canal ex-
position In 1915. All Louisiana is back
ing New Orleans. In consequence that
state will have 1858 accredited representa-
tives to the congress, only Texas with
72s delegates will exceed that number.
California will send 20 delegates.
1t seems probable that the congress
will again go on record as favoring d
national department of mines. Congress-
man George A. Bartlett of Reno, New,
will lead the fight for Endorsement of that
proposition.
The congress will be welcomed to San
Antonio by some prominent business man
yet to be selected The response will be
made by william J. Bryan.
Five cities are active candidates for the
1911 meeting of the congress. They are
Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., Billings, Mon,
st. Joseph, Mo-, and San Angelo, Tex.

AUGUSTA GAINS
IN POPULATION

Augusta, Ca, November 20.-The popu-
lation of the city of Augusta is Al ,295,
according to the count taken today by
800 volunteer enumerators, including many
of the most wealthy and prominent bus
iness men. This compares with the Off
cial count of 81, ,S26 sent out by the census
bureau last week and 39.41 as the official
census 10 years ago. The city's count
shows that the federal enumerators
missed 1869 people in the city and in sub

reports an entire district, in the ward
wherein he was working, which had never
been visited by the federal enumera-
tors. Every ward in the city shows an
increase over the federal report.
When information came from Wash
ington that discrepancies between the
bureaus report and any count the city
would make must be shown by Tuesday
morning, the city administration and conf
mercial bodies of Augusta decided upon
the plan of taking the census OF the
CITY in a single day, and Sunday was the
only day upon which 1t could be done.
Census blanks were distributed to every
house in the city Saturday. This morn
ing ministers from their pulpits called
upon the people to aid the enumerators
bv preparing detailed information in ad-
vance of the arrival of the enumerators.
The work was practically completed,

Paris, November 20.-Imposing ma

Garden today In connection with the
dedication OF a statue erected to the
memory of Jules Ferry, the French
statesman, were marked by an assault
upon Premier BRAND who, while walk
Ing with President Fallieres, was
struck twice on the face by a royalist.
The premier was not seriously hurt
The vast crowd which had gathered in
the garden set upon the premiers as
sailant and only determined interven-
tion by the republican guards saved him
from being beaten to death.
The incident occurred at the con-
clusion Of the exercises which were at
tended by thousands. President FaI-
Heres, M. BRAND and other ministers
were walking toward the gateway
when a man broke through the repub-
lican guards that lined the road. leaped
to Mr.. Brands side and raising
clenched fists high in the air, brought
them with full force upon the premier's s
face. M. BRAND reeled under the blows
but did not fall.

he cried: 81 am all right; we must pro-
tect my assailant."

Boston, Novmber 0.-Gov.-elect Eu-

night in which he demanded that Sen

BUMPER CROP OF
COTTON is MADE

Carrollton, November 20.-(Special. 1.-THE
cotton crop yield in this section has far
exceeded the expectations of the most
sanguine- Up to the present time there
have been stored at this place several
hundred more bales than was marketed
here during the entire past season. With
the price that has prevailed here this
season our farmers are in better shape
than for several years past.
With the bumper corn crop made in
Piokens county this year, our farmers
are beginning to realize the necessity of
raising better hogs and every day in
qures are heard for blooded stock This
is move in the right direction and they
will find it paying investment, realiz-
ing far better results than from the razor
back variety.

ceum attractions will be presented in the

done behind it at the maximum range of
the gun, say 25,0O0 yards by the use of
shells exploding on the outside of such
plate.
This latter test has just been COM
pleted and has demonstrated conclusively
that an outside explosive shell, explod-
Ing against the ship at any range and
even without velocity, will destroy 1t.
Now. as it would be absurd to pre-
sent the effect of a shotgun on a man
as an argument for arming our troops
with such weapons in the place of long
range rifles, so also it is absurd to op-
pose the effect of armor piercing shells.
which have only a limited range of eff
cheney TO the effect of a shell which Is
efficient at the extreme range of the
gun.
1.-The practical result made available
by the Puritan tests Is the knowledge
that a single ship of 2S knots armed with
guns capable of being elevated to give
a range of say 5000 yards. and supplied
with an abundance of ammunition, which
a thinner armor would permit, could Sc
lect and maintain such a position of at
tack on the high seas, that even our
whole navy, II brought into the fight,
would be destroyed without this vessel
being brought into even the range of
our ships' guns.
General Miles and Mai. I. n. Lewis
urged the advantages of such tactics
when advocating the adoption of my shell
before Congress more than 10 years ago.
Other officers have continued to do SO
since then. The Russo-Japanese war en-
phasized the value of the claims made
and the present test has further corrob-
GRATED them in this country; and 1t would
seem 1t was time the facts were brought
to the attention of the public, since we
are spending millions of dollars annually
upon defensive construction along lines
that are known and have been proven
by tests and actual warfare to be as
antiquated as the fiintlock musket."

COUNSELLOR HOYT
DIES SUDDENLY

washington, November 20.-Henry Mar
tvn Hoyt. counsellor for theSSspartment
OF state. died at his home nere at s:2O
o'clock this morning from ,eritonitis.
Mr. Hoyt was taken i'll in Canada while
there in connection with the reciprocity
negotiations between the United States
and that country. Since his return TO
washington last Monday he had been
confined to his home and physicians called
into consultation with the family ply
sician considered the case as extremely
serious from the beginning.
The condition of the sick man was
such last night that the attending ply
sician, Robert M. Baker, and the WIFE,
son and daughter of Mr. Hoyt deemed
It advisable to remain at the bedside
throughout the night. Shortly after mid
night those keeping vigilance at the bed
side noticed change for the worse when
a perceptible weakening or the pulse was
noticeable. From then on, except Tor
a short period during which ne raiheu
somewhat, Mr.. Hoyt sank rapidly until

Washington, November 20-If airships
are to be part of the naval equipment
OF the future, as the successful flight of
Eugene B. Ely from the cruiser Birming-
ham last Monday indicated might be
the case, the proper ammunition for them
to carry. in the opinion of Willard S.
Isham, would be the high explosive
which was used in the tests on the moni-
tor Puritan In Hampton Roads on the
day following Elys flight.
Mr.. Isham claims that nitro-glycerine
gelatine, the outside explosive which was
used in the Puritan tests, will do much
more damage to q battleship than the
inside explosive now in use. The explo-
sive itself was not originated by Mr..
Tsham his contribution being a shell in
which it can be fired without exploding
before striking the object at which it is
aimed.
AS shown by the Puritan tests. Mr..
Isham declared, no velocity would be
required for the explosive to work its
havoc. 1t did its damage to the Puritan
without any momentum to add to it's
force. Therefore, If dropped upon bat
tleship from an airship, no matter how
low the latter might be flying. the full
effect of the explosive would be felt. In
a statement which he made today Mr..
Isham said:
1.-The enactment of Congress under
which the Puritan tests were made called
for one test to determine whether the
service armor piercing shell can pene-
trate the thick armor protecting the vi
tails of battleship at the minimum bat
tie range of 5000 yards and cause damage
behind it. The other test was to deter
mine whether the same armor protection
could be blown into the ship and damage

SUIT WILL DECIDE
CUT RATES IN DRUGS

Washington, November 2o.--Future Cut
rates in proprietary medicines through
out the United States are said to de-
pend upon the outcome of suit to be
argued Immediately after Thanksgiving
in the supreme court of the United States.
Alton B. Parker, former candidate for
President, is to argue on behalf of cut
rates.
An Elkhart, Ind. concern originated
the suit. 1t did this by asking the United
States circuit court for the eastern dis
trict of Kentucky to restrain a firm in
Cinciraati, o., from selling at reduced
prlces medicine manufactured by it, The
injunction was refused by the circuit
court and the court of appeals for the
Sixth circuit approved that holding. Then
an appeal was taken to the supreme court
of the United States.
The suit was based on a series of
contracts prepared by the manufacturer
of the medicines.
By these contracts 1t was sought to
make the wholesale and retail dealers in
the medicines agents of the manufactur-
er. In this way the manufacturer is said
to have endeavored to control the prices
at which the wholesaler and retailer dis
posed of its medicines.
