Congressman Foss of Massachusetts
claims that clothes and foodstuffs
should be Immediately placed on the
free list Aldrich says that the wooden
schedule is the backbone of the new
tariff law. Perhaps it is, but it is also
the backbone of the wUolen trusts in
creased ability to rob consumers. AL
drich and his friends so manipulated
the wooden schedule that the manufac-
turers are able to get raw materials
at tremendous advantage to them
selves. They have the advantage of a
compensatory duty that absolutely pro-
tects them against the competition of
foreign manufacturers.
Thus, instead of making clothes
cheaper the complicated wooden sched-
ule in the Aldrich-Taft law has made
them dearer 1t has made every
wearer of clothes pay increased tribute
to the trusts. No complicated sets of
figures are necessary to prove the
truth of this. Every buyer of clothes
knows that prices are higher. and
values less, than before the new tariff
law was passed. The xeoi manufac-
turers have tried to conceal higher
prices in a greater output of shoddy
material. They are charging full card
rates to-day for goods with so per cent
less intrinsic value than year or two
ago. The retailer must live. and the
consumer pays the ultimate tribute to
the tariff

faithless congressman must turn to po-
litical action as duty they owe them
selves and the country. They must not
allow conventions to be captured,
through their neglect, by mercenary
standpatters. Forget party labels long
enough to pick out a candidate in each
congressional district who really rep
resents the popular demand for lower
tariff duties ana reducing the excessive
cost of living. The character of an in
dividual candidate will prove vastly
more important, in this campaign, than
any perfunctory platform or platforms
of the nominating conventions
Weak congressman turn their backs

AMERICAN MURDERED IN ITALY.
Woman's Body Found in Trunk
Drawn from Lake Como.

The police are searching Lombardy
and all northern Italy for the MUIR
derer of an American woman, whose
body, stuffed in a trunk, was found by
fishermen in a little lake near the vii
lage of Moltrasio, a short distance
from Como and about thirty miles
from Milan.
The authorities of Cernobbio, the
nearest city of consequence to the
scene of the murder, have ascertained
that the woman was Mrs. Porter
Charlton, and that she had been living
with her husband in the Villa Mol
trasio, which had been let to them by
a Russian gentleman they met casu-
ally.
The police discovered after an ex-
animation of letters and papers found
in the abandoned villa that Mrs.
Charlton, before her last marriage,
was Mrs Mary Scott Castle of we'll.
known San Francisco family. Porter
Charlton has disappeared, but Con-
stantine Spolaioff, the Russian who
rented the villa, has been arrested at
Roggiano. The police fear that
Charlton also has been murdered, as
they are at loss to account other
wise for his complete disappearance.

mercial supremacy of Kansas City over
neighboring packing centers, and the
business men OF the Missouri city we're

this advantage.

Grn,yinr SORGHUM.

Sorghum will do better in dry
season sown in drills than If sown
broadcast. The grain drill can be used
by stopping up two or three of the
holes.
Land on which sorghum is to be
grown should be thoroughly prepared
and the seed covered only to a depth
sufficient to secure enough moisture
for prompt termination. 1t comes UP
very delicate, but when once firmly
rooted makes a remarkable growth.
1t can be sown to great advantage
when it is too late to plant corn, and
hence is desirable crop on lands that
are wettish or which for any reason
cannot be put in corn.
For sowing broadcast use 60 pounds
of germinable seed per acre. For
drills, As pounds; winter pasture, %
pounds, and for molasses, 8 or 10
pounds. Epitomist.

Roosevelt's Advice TO the World.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
been rendering a great deal of advice
to the world on his way home floLl
tie jungles. That e quite natural. We
have read of a 5paLish monarch who
allowed that if he had been presegs
at the time of the creation he coald
have given the Creator some very use
full hints. We all share this feeling
more or less-and some of us decided
ly more. Quite ds naturally many
persons do not accept good advice in
the same spirit in which it is given.
Very often people who are kindly ad
vised, yielding to an egotistical or
irascible spirit, fatty reply to the adj
wiser, 1T is none Of your businessi"
This seems to have been the mood in
which some of the speeches by our
distinguished unofficial representative,
Colonel Roosevelt, have been received
across the water
1t was unfortunate for the Colonels
polygona1 utterances that they seem to
have been frequently delivered at the
wrong times and places. In Egypt,
for instance, where the natives have
long been nursing the worldwide de-
sire for self-government, and where
the situation had grown so acute that
the best British craftsmanship was
praclicing the strategy of soothing
promises, the Colonel strobe in with
brusque declaration that Egyptians
were not fit for self-government and
wouldn't be for generations, and that
the British ought to give them good
government vi ct arms. Naturally the
Egyptians were irritated Many Brit
ish officials also resented remarks
which were calculated to aggravate a
crisis which was quite grave enough
before.
In France the Colonel struck the
| only subjects which were likely to
disturb the natural cheerfulness and
amiability of the French people-race
suicide ard Socialism! To touch
either of those perturbing subjects, no
matter how qualifying the "ifs" the
Colonel might place in his speech, was
sure to awaken resentment. II did
and the Colonel left considerable wash
in his wake through Paris.
Then when Colonel Roosevelt, in his
Guildhall speech in London, urged
John Bull to use more big club tactics
in Egypt he again mistimed and mis-
| placed his remarks. Small wonder that
the BritinSh press so generally looks
at the Colonel with wintry eyei We
beg to assure them that the ex-Presi-
dent had no intention of disturbing
conditions in the Old World. His words
were not intended to take effect there,
but here in knericai In other words,
Colonel RooseTelts brandishing of his
big bludgeon beyond the sea was mere
ly species of Indian club alisthenics,
produced for the diversion and in
struction of American voters. Let us
have peace! --Chicago Examiner.

horticultural Notes.

No alfalfa for the orchard 1t takes
too much moisture out of the ground.
Wood ashes are a good lawn and
general garden fertilizer, containing
potash. lime and other similar food
elements.
The advocates of sod mulch and eul-
tivation are still fighting as bitterly
as ever and probably will continue to
do so until the end of time.
II an orchard is on low ground 1t
should be drained, because the air
must be admitted to the soil or the
trees will die.
A 2-year-old tree can be started
more easily than a S-year-old. With
some varieties 1-year-old tree is even
better than 2-year-old.
An inexperienced man with a pair
of sharp pruning shears will do more
harm in an orchard In one day than
all the insects combined could do in a
year

FINGER PRINTS MURDER CLEW.
Effort to Unravel Mystery of Wom-
ans Death at Leavenworth.

BY finger prints found on wip63w
pane in the charred remains OF the
residence of Mrs Katherine Schultz,
the police hope to locate the person
who murdered the woman and then
set fire to her house in Leaveaworth,
Kas., in an effort to conceal his crime.
After searching the ruins for many
hours in an effort TO get clew the
police came upon the marks on the
glass The window sash had been
raised about foot in order to gain
an entrance. In the dirt on the glass
the prints were easily traceable. They
were from right hand. Warden r.
w McClaughry of the federal prison
made photograph CT the marks. II
any suspects gre arrested impressions
will be taken and compared with those
found on the glass.
The general opinion is that Mrs.
Schultz. who was wealthy recluse.
"a years old, was killed by one of her
debtors. She is known to have held
mortgages on several pieces OF prop
erty in the city. Her wealth was esti-
mated at $4,000. Some think robbery
was the motive.
