TAR AND FEATHERS
South Jersey Farmer at Mercy of
Mosquitoes Three Hours.

Mays Landing, n. j., Aug. 20
Covered with tar and feathers and
tied to a post, at the mercy of hOrdes
of mosquitoes, for more than three
hours, Frank Sichort, a farmer, liv-
ing at Cardiff, in the South Jersey
Pine Belt, was found this morning
AS the $40 o'clock Atlantic City
train was pulling in at the Mckee
City station the passengers and train
crew were Mortified to see man
nude, save for his coat of tar and
feathers, dashed to post.
When freed from his bonds he
nearly fell from exhaustion. His
limbs were so stiff he could hardly
walk, and he was assisted to his
home. Later he was brought to this
place, and taken 10 the Atlantic City
hospital, where it was said his con-
ditiOn was not serious.
Sichort, who is married man, is
said to have paid visits to the farm
of Mrs. Annie Schroella, widow
with nine children, once married.
He was warned by a son-in-law of
the woman to cease his visits; also
by the members Of a club known as
ing attention to the widow, and said
he only assisted her in selling her
farm product. He had warrants

Will Colonel Roosevelt be a candi-
date for president in 1912? There
now seems to be no doubt about it.
Developments of the past few days
disclose a purpose on the part of the
supporters of Cannon and Aldrich to
hand Colonel Roosevelt a rebuff at
every opportunity, and there is rea-
son to believe that President Taft
has been led or forced to be to some
extent a party to this attempted hui
initiation of his popular predecessor.
The big interests fear Mr.. Roosevelt
may return to the executive office
two years hence, and, with singular
stupidity, they have taken course
of action that inevitably will bring
a demand from the people that he
return to service. The New York
republican state committee has snub-
bed Colonel Roosevelt, and in that
action showed that it was subServ-
lent to the big interests. 1t was a
tactless attempt at discrediting him
in his home state. The committee
represented nothing but the ma
chine organization in the state. 1t
was merely another manifestation of
the enmity which Mr.. Roosevelt in
vited when he started his crusade
against the vicious dominance of big
interests. 1t was a demonstration of
the need of another administration
of courageous vigor. The situation
which has suddenly developed is re-
ally humorous. If the insurgents

that possibly Waldron was not in
the car at the time that Scully and

1t was travelling.
Scully's evidence as to the speed
attained by the automobile could not
be shaken, and Judge Andrade found
the defendant guilty and imposed a
fine OF $25 an costs. Notice OF ap-
peal was given by Warren and Wald-
ron was allowed to depart on his
own recognizance.
The case against II. F. Wichman
was next taken up, and Scully gave
testimony as to the pace the ma
chine was going when he timed 4.
for $40 feet. Trip, who acted as
Scully's assistant. also testified, but
his evidence was mixed up and his
memory. although refreshed by notes
made at the time OF the alleged
speeding, did not help him any.
For the defense Mr.. Smith, who
was riding with Wichman at the
time of the occurrence, testified that
he had had lot Of experience in
handling stop-watches and timing

was made by Warren, who appeared

the COST OF Living.

Living costs have increased ON ac-
count of the greater demand for
those things once regarded as lux
uries. This is the conclusion OF
Prof. Milton whitney, chief of the
bureau of soils Of the Department OF
Agriculture, who is one of the lat
est TO join the band of good men
engaged in explaining why the civ
ing bills" are higher than in former
days.
Prof. Whitney makes a very in
teresting statement of the case, but
when we stop 70 consider that the pres.
ent cotton tariff strikes hardest on
the class of goods that the poor man
buys. we can't help believing that
there may be something of truth in
the conclusion of the man who says
the price OF the bedrock necessities
has been Influenced by something be-
sides increased consumption.
Cost Of living is necessarily a
many-sided subject. and since Prof.
Whitney deals principally with the
agricultural phase of the question,
his comment has especial interest in
this part of the world. He is quot
ed by Washington correspondent rs
follows:
The Secretary of Agriculture has
for years been calling attention to
the increase in the amount and value
OF our crops. Why the increased
cost, IL productivity has more than
kept pace with the per capita
growth? Obviously because of the
increased demand per capita. The
amount we consume is in some sense
proportional to the variety OF our
foods and our ability to purchase.
We are as nation very rich; wages
are high. and we can afford variety,
and we all enjoy far greater variety
than we did fifty years ago. The
markets in our cities. large and
small. already have in December
spring and summer vegetables,
fruits and meats at prices within the
reach OF the masses OF our people.
I'VE have tempting varieties of
breakfast foods and other prepara-
tions made Of wheat and corn. This
variety tends to increase consump-
ton. We eat more per capita than
we used to. II the people can AFFORD
II, why not?
THE present conditions OF soil
productivity, the falling of OF our
exports. and the high price OF food
stuffs, II taken together with the
general prosperity, do not, to my
mind, indicate danger OF starvation.
even IL we are compelled at some
future time to tone down the high
living we are at present enjoying.
1T does show that our farmers
are engaged in a winning and
growing occupation with a large and
growing demand for the things they
produce.
Agriculture in this country Is in
Its infancy, and we have hardly more
than cleared the ground and got the
fences up. When we settle down to
the real business of farming. and get
a thorough knowledge of the soil OF
each field. as the people of the long
err settled countries OF Europe have
done. we shall have fewer failures to
pull down our average of produce
tivity.
There never have been greater
opportunities offered for American
farming. In the East and South es-
pecially are cheap productive soils
awaiting resettlement and reoccupa-
tion, with ever-increasing variety or
products. We should apply ourselves

ticn for leaving those with whom
he talked, beautifully in doubt as to
his opinions.
Now the question arises, Was this
habit changed in his conferences
with the President and the Attorney
General? And II 1t was not, has he
any good reason to feel that the
President has upset him, gone back
on him and done that which subjects
him to unmerited discontinue?
