We have heard a great deal about,
the way tariff rates were raised on
Injuries and were lowered on neces-;

tariff makers have dwelt on this fea-l

their u%tterances skeptically received.
There have been showings that some,
of the necessities still paid rather.

that champagne was put on the
schedules at from 81 to Sc per cent,
whilst wearing apparel was taxed at
from so to 80 per cent"
Now comparatively few people
drink champagne, but all people must!
use wearing apparel, so there is no

that hats mot bringing over $3.50 a

the greater number of people and the

BABY's GIFT FROM HIS PAPA
Inheritance for Which Mother Did Not
Seem to Be In Any Great
Degree Thankful.

Richard Harding Davis, at a foot
ball game in Philadelphia, praised
the voices of the young undergrad

yells.
1T makes me think of a Locust
street wife," said Mr.. Davis, smiling.
"She turned to her husband one night
at dinner and remarked:
my dear, the first time l saw you
was at Franklin Field. Your head
was thrown back, your mouth wide
open and your face was very red
you were yelling your college YELL

was elected to the Legislature In 1885.
In 1889 he was elected state auditor
and In 1843 was appointed Judge Of
the Supreme court of Illinois. He held
the latter office two years and resign
ed to accept the appointment Of COM
missioner Of the general land Office In
Washington.
Served In Two Wars.
At the outbreak of the Mexican wal
Shields was given a brigadier's COM
mission and commanded, first a brig
ade of Illinois troops, later command
ing a brigade composed Of marines
and New York and South Carolina
volunteers. He served under Gen.
Zachary Taylor, Gen. Winfield Scott

tered out of service in 1848 and short
ly afterwards was appointed the first
territorial governor Of Oregon.
While serving in that office he was
elected senator from Illinois and
served out his full term. After quit
ting the senate he moved to Mime
sofa, where he speedily became prom
inent in politics and, on the admission
of that state, he was elected senator
for the short term, serving two years,
from 1857 to 1859. Quitting the SEN
ate again he went to California and
engaged in mining, and was thus en-
gagged when the Civil war broke out.
Promptly he offered his sword and
was commissioned a brigadier general.

doah Valley and directed the initial
movement at the battle of Winches-

chose Missouri as his home, settling
in Carroll county, living on a farm a
few miles east Of Carrollton in peace

MARKS HER0S TOMB
Monument Now at Gen. Shields
Long-Neglected Grave.
He Fought With Distinction In Two
Wars, Served Three States as
Senator and a Fourth
as Governor.

Carrollton, Mo.-To have served as
senator from three states and as gov
ernor of a fourth Is a distinction that
has come to only one man In the his
tory Of the United States. And yet
for nearly 80 years that man. Gen.
james H. Shields, whose military rec
ord was eve more illustrious than
his record as a statesman, lay in al
almost forgotten and unmarked grave.
He was the first territorial govern6
of Oregon, he served a full term as
senator from Illinois, he was one of
the first two senators from Minnesota
and he served out an unexpired term
as senator from Missouri. He went
into the Mexican wal a brigadier gen
eral and served with such distinction
that his sword found ready acceptance
and he wal commissioned a brigadier
general at the outbreak of the Civil
war.
General Shields served four states

born) both faithfully and well, and
doubtless had public attention been
called earlier to the neglect of his
grave In st. Mary's cemetery here,
Congress would have been quicker to
show, by a monument, its apprecia-
ton of his services. However, when
Representative Rucker, of Missouri,
introduced a bill at the last session of
congress to appropriate $4,000 for that
purpose, it was quickly passed and
the monument was recently unveiled.
The monument is Of white marble,
nine feet high, surmounted by a bust
three feet in height. On the four sides
are the coats-of-arms In bronze of Ore
gon, Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri.
General Shields was one of the
many young Irishmen who came to
America in the generation that pre-
coded the Civil war and gave their
adopted country cause to feel proud
of them. He was born in County
Tyrone, December IL, 1910. About the
age of 16 young Shields emigrated to-,
the United States and finished his edu-
cation. He studied law and began
practice at Kaskaskia, ILL.,, in 1882.

Warming TO Democrats.

Democrats who are jubilant over
their triumph must not forget that
victory brings its responsibilities.
The landslide Of yesterday does not
mean that there are more Democrats
today than there were two years ago.
Thousands Of honest Republicans,
disguised with slavish subservience
OF their leaders to trusts, voiced their
Indignation by voting the Democratic
ticket.
The tremendous votes polled by
Foss in Massachusetts, and by Harmon
~ Ohio were made possible by Re
rublicans who took this method to
protest against the further control
81 their party organization by selfish
Interests.
Whether these allies shall be re-
tanned depends upon the manner in
which the Democratic party fulhlls its
trust. If its leaders, like their Re-
uublican predecessors, bow down be-
fore the golden calf; If they in turn
become servants of privilege rather
than representative Of the people, Re-
rubsicans who aided them In their
victory will return to their former
allegiance at the next clection.-Chi-

Kidding Worse Than CUTTING.

Talk about making good with your
friends, a New Orleans man told
everybody he knew that he was going
to Philadelphia for the dual purpose
OF seeing the worlds baseball series
and having a slight surgical operation
performed. Reaching this city, he
consulted a specialist, and was told
that an operation was not necessary.
But, DOCTOR" the New Orleans
party urgently interposed, "it must be
DONE"
why must it?" wonderingly quer-
led the surgeon.
Because" was the startling re-
joinder of the Southern man, Il told
all the boys at home that l was going
to have an operation performed, and
if l don't make good they will kid the
life out of me."-Philadelphia Tele-

IN HIS TRUE LIGHT
SENATOR ALDRIcH NOW SEEN TO.
HAVE BEEN ovERRATEp.
his Presence In the Senate important,
Only to the Corporations Whose
Interests He served-"eIant"
Proved a Piamy,

1t is amusing at this time to recall
the contention of ardent admirers of
senator Aldrich that without his hand
at the helm the United States senate
would Jibe and wobble like a shin
without a rudder.
Probably no member of that august
body has been more overrated than
the senator who was chiefly RESPONSE
nle for the tariff law that has made
his party so much trouble.
AS long as he was able to command
q subservient majority, as the chosen
apostle OF interests whose supremacy
was unquestioned, he doomed a prom
inent figure In national affairs. But
under the fire of opposition the re-
EQUITABLE giant became a pygmy.
This view is aptly expressed by a
writer in the American Magazine, who
says:
i think there was never in our his
tory a fiction more thoroughly explod-
ed than the fiction called Aldrich.
Every n had imputed to Aldrich al
most supernatural sagacity. The in
surgents themselves dreaded him; but
under the fire of Dolliver, Cummins,
Beverage and La Toilette, he explod-
ed, dried up and blew away"
However important the presence Of
Aldrtch in the senate may have been
to the corporations whose interests he
served. his services to the people are
now seen to have been small. There
are a dozen men in the newly consti-
tuted senate who are amply able to fill,
his place.
Let us hope that his successors in
leadership will use their power more
wisely and periodically.

in the fire engine house to use for a
clothesline, and now, when there is q
fire, the constable has to climb up
into the tower and ring the bell with
a hammer. Somebody took the ham,
mer the other day and, when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con-
stable had to hurry down to Hilliker's
store for to borry a hammer. Hilliker
had lent his hammer to Deacon Rem

country, and by the time the constable
had got there and hunted around in
the barn for the hammer and got back

Mixing His Dates.

There is a story of a mar who was
30 transported with joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up at the prisoners
bar in a court Of justice to plead
guilty" or mot guilty" to a criminal
charge. So powerfully did that, the
most painful event of his life, obtrude
itself upon his mind, that when the
clergyman put the question, wilt
thou have this woman to be thy

distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, mot guilty, so
