MAKING THE PEOPLE PAY.

Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, has been mailing broadcast
over the country, under his congress
ional frank, volume of 4Ss pages,
weighing a pound. As private citi-
zen, it would cost him eight cents
postage to mail each one of these
books. As United States senator,
and by his guising the work as a
public document the govern
ment, which means you AID | and
every other citizen, pays the postage.
Senator Gallinger's book is
STORY of Tariff and it is a story
in more senses than one. That it is
packed full of stories ST. R.
would call them by shorter and
uglier words evidenced by the
indignant protest, on the floor ofthe
senate, of Senator Bacon, of Georgia
against an alleged quotation of his
words in the book. Senator Bacon
declared.
So far as that pamphlet profes-
ses to quote me, it is gross misre-
presentation in which there is a stu
dious effort to present only just so
many words spoken by me as may
entirely misrepresent what | really

Hides AND SHOES.

We are indebted to Lippincott' 5
Magazine for an example of the line
Of argument" which may be ex-
pected from the standpat forces of
the Republican part, during the COM
ing campaign in apology for the Payne
Aldrich tariff. Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew-the bloom is still on the
peacb-contributes an Illuminating
essay in defense of the grand old par
ty of plutocracy and plumber, in
which he adopts the usual resort of
the protectionist at bay by citing
some exceptional cases where tariffs
could not affect prices as evidence
that the Payne-Aldrich bill is not re-
sponsible for the increased cost of
living. For instance, hides are on
the free list, Chauncey says, yet shoe
prices rise. But he neglects to tell
the whole truth-that shoes are as
sessed 10 per cent. ad yalorem in the
same tariff bill, and that, being freed
of duty, the snoe manufacturers are
thus enabled to squeeze the consum-
ers to the extreme limit of the ten
per cent.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is full
of just such jokers. The standpat
orators and organs may be depended
upon to becloud the issue and distort
the truth in every case where oppor-
tunity offers, just as Senator Depew
has done in the instance cited, for
the purpose of misleading the gull
lible and unwary. These are desper-
ate tactics but no more SO than the
cause which necessitates their use.
But few will be fooled.

CHERRY SEASON NOW ON

Cherries are being preserved and
canned by Point Pleasant housewives
at this season in great abundance for
future use. Everybody likes cherry
pie. News that the luscious fruit is
greeted with JOY by the expectant
feasters. The charms ofshort-cake
fade into dimness when one considers
the prospect of a real cherry pie, la
mere. When the weather several
months ago threatened to destroy the
fruit crops, the real cause of the grief
of many persons was that there might
be a scarcity of cherry pie.
Already the restaurant are adyertis-
ing cherry pies and in another week
the seasons will be in tull blast. Ho!

FIGHT ENDS
RAILROAD BILL PASSES SENATE BY
VOTE OF 50 TO II.

Washington, June S.-After Il
three months contest that will be-
come historical because of its bitter
ness and the stubbornness with
which it was fought, in which
Republicans were made, wrecked and
party alignment knocked per-
manently awry-the railroad bill
which was once called the admin
istration's, was passed by the Senate
tonight by vote of 50 to 10.
But SIX Democrats voted for the
bill, while the l2 negative votes
came from members of that party.
The latter were Bacon, Fletcher,
Frazier, Hughes, Money, Newlands,
Perry, Purcell, Rayner, Shively,
Smith. of Maryland, and Smith, of
South Carolina. The SIX who voted
for the bill were Chamberlain, Clay,
Gore Paynter, Simmons and Stone.
All the progressive Republicans
voted for the bill or were paired in
its favor.
Most notable and significant of
the closing speeches was Senator La
Follette's critical summary of the
provisions of the bill as it came from
the hands of the President and At
torney General Wickersham and as
it was changed during its more than
I2 weeks consideration in the SEN
ate. La Toilette closed with an i'm
FASHIONED peroration in which he
sounded warning to the conferees.
Abiding to Senator Aldrich's Gym
ical remark upon the adoption of the
long and short haul clause, that He
who laughs last laughs best" La
Toilette served notice that if the
conferees emasculated that clause
the conference report would never
pass the Senate and the legislation
would fail.

AGED RIYERMAN DEAD.

After an illness lasting over year
Capt. Mac Gamble, one ofthe oldest
and most hi2h!y respected rivermen
that ever na,i@ated the waters ofthe
old Ohio, passed to the great beyond
at his home in Clarington, o., last
week. The death of Capt. Gamble
marked the passing ofone of the vet
eran riveraen who in his early days
piloted the old side wheelers from
the Smoky City to the Queen City.
In honor of his death the flags on all
the packets, towboats and wharf
boats between Pittsburg and Cincin-
natl were placed at half mast.
Capt. Gamble was in his 57th year
and was born on a farm near where
he died. In his early days he was a
clerk on the old side wheeler Cur
rier. Later he purchased the pack
ct Diural, which he ran in the trade
for years. He and Captain Prince
then bought the old Currier, which
they operated. Later Captain Gam
bic had the Sunshine built. This was
at that time the the finest packet on
the upper Ohio. After operating
this beautiful craft for some time, he
sold it to the White Collar Company.
During recent years he owned the
Jewel and Ruth, two packets that
operated on the Ohio during recent
years.
Over year ago Captain Gamble
was compelled to give up the life
which he loved so well, owing to fail
ing health. Leaving the river he
lived retired life at Clarington.
His death came as great shock to
all who knew him.
