WILL AWAKE SOMETIME

Senator Dolliver in his recent
speech in the Senate made a good
point when he said: Last year
witnessed two important hoaxes,
the discovery of the North Pole by
DR.. Cook and the revision of the
tariff downward by Senator AID
rich," and then incidentally re-
ferred to the protection on rubber
(Which is not produced in this
country in the interest of the rub
Der tire industry, by which one
concern in seven years had in
creased its capital from $50, 1000 to
$40, 900, 900, which illustrates, how
immense fortunes are made by rea-
son of a tariff which give a few
control of the trade by excluding
from our market the manufactured
articles. AS a result, auto tires
have doubled in price, the increase
in price going into the pockets of
the American manufacturer as
clean profit. AS a further illustra-
ton, the Singer Sewing Machine
Manufacturing company recently
cut a $50, 700, 900 melon. The
Singer machine is sold in South
Africa at from SI2 to SIS, after
being transported 5000 miles,
while at home the price is S22, and
the American buyer is robbed of
the difference. Take Waltham
watches. They can be bought in
Europe at private sale at the same
price or less than the American
retailer can buy them. The sys-
tenn is framed to rob the home con-
sumner, and how long they will
stand it, the good Lord only

the good Of the whole, but such
should be adjusted by all
pursuing a broad and liberal policy,
not forgetting that the majority
shall rule. If any man cannot &C

The supreme court of the United
States has re-docketed the income
tax case on corporations. This tax
will aggregate about SIS, 200, 900
of revenue annually for the govern
ment, which urgently needs in
creased revenues. The case now
goes over until October. This lit
tie delay is the initial disappoint-
ment in this matter, which is to
pave the way for the great dlsap-
pointment yet to come, when that
august court decides the tax uncon-
stitutional, as is most likely.
Congress can levy all the taxes it
wants on poor people, by taxing
their needs, such as hosiery, dress
goods, gloves, ETC., but let Con-
gress lay its gentle hands, however
lightly, on the great corporations,
and the federal courts snaps the
law into shreds, as if it were a

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Thousands of Americans are
focking to Europe to spend mill
lions of dollars during the summer
in idleness. The money should be
spent at home instead of being
carried abroad to benefit other peo-
pie who are Of no value to this
country. Then the money spent, is
in large measure, is wrung from
the laboring and producing classes
at home, who are forced to practice
the greatest economy to simply
subsist, practically robbed, that a
few thousand useless things may
make themselves prominent in Eu-
rope by means of the money they
spend. There should be national
law enacted providing for an abb
sentee tax of from $500 to 81 900
per head so as to make our nation
a beneficiary to some extent.
The writer who believes in a
tariff for revenue with incidental
protection, has never thought for a
moment that the Payne-Aldrich
tariff was a compliance with the
demands of the national platform,
neither was it what the people ex-
pected. But it was the best that
could be obtained under the cir
cumstances and infinitely better
than the Dingley tariff law which
was robber tariff for the benefit
of the trusts and monopolies. The
president would not, under the cir
cumstances have been justified in
vetoing the Payne-Aldrich law,
and would have been sharply criti-
cised had he done so, by the very
men who condemn the law. It was,
as all must admit, a step in the
right direction to be followed sub
sequently by changes beneficial to
the people.
Mr.. LaFollette may not be a
man of destiny, but he has had a
lot of good luck in the enemies that
he has made-Milwaukee Journal.
Especially enemies of his friends,
whose loyalty and aid he never ap-
preciated. Gratitude was never
one of his virtues.
There may be and there should
be difference of opinions as to the
means to be employed in reaching
and remedying conditions by polit-
ical action of parties. Those hold
ing opinions not in harmony with
those holding others within the

SMALLPOX PATIENT

Selma, May 26.-(Special)- John Chap
man, a negro who has been condemned
for murder in Mobile county and who
escaped from the pest house there and
who is suffering from a well developed
case of smallpox, was captured last night
at Gastonberg and brought to Selma.
The negro was placed In the county Jail
last night but as soon as it was discov-
cred he was suffering from smallpox
Sheriff Doherty notified the health author
tiles and the negro was put in cart
and carried to the pest house.
The result of the capture of John Chap
man may mean that the crew of the train
which brought him to Selma and the
prisoners and officers of the county jail
will in the next few days develop cases
OF smallpox. To prevent the prisoners IN
the jail from taking the disease Sheriff
Doherty is going to have all OF the IN
mates of the Jail vaccinated and the place
thoroughly fumigated.
From the depot John Chapman was
driven to the Jail in Pomp Stones hack.
1t is very likely that the health authori-
ties will take charge of this hack and
have it kept off the streets for the next
few days.
A few days ago number sof negroes
afflicted with smallpox escaped from the
pest house of Mobile county, and among
them was John Chapman, who had been
tried and condemned for killing negro
woman. The negro last night claimed he
was not guilty of the crime.
The capture of the negro was effected
last night at Gastonberg by Conductor
vickers and Engineer Jenkins of freight
train on the Southern railway between
Mobile and Selma. Several Of the ne
groes got off the train at Catherine, Al
berta and Lamison. At Gastonberg a
search of the train was made and John
Chapman was discovered.
AS soon as he was discovered by the
train crew Chapman made an attempt to
escape and as he did SO several shots
were fred at him. In jumping from the
train the negro fell and broke his left
leg. He was then picked up and placed
in the caboose and brought to Selma.
Sheriff Doherty has notified the Mobile
county authorities of the capture of John
Chapman.
