This is Wrong.

Under the Payne-Aldrich law, those
most able to pay tariff tax get off
the lightest.
Your wife or daughter who buys a
woolen or worsted cloth for dress
pays $40 for a pattern that cost s4
abroad, or tariff tax of 135 per cent,
while the rich mans wife or daughter
is only required to pay tariff tax of
so per cent on the imported silk dress
she buys
The steel buttons on the working
mans trousers carry duty OF 1858
per cent, while milady's ivory buttons
pay but 57.4O per cent
The cheapest blankets, found in the
homes of the laborer, carry tax Of
|107 per cent, while the fine blankets
used on the beds of the captains Of
finance only pay II per cent.
High priced wooden carpets used by
the wealthy carry tariff tax of but
so per cent. while the carpets used
for mats, rugs, etc, which are found in
the homes of the common people, are
taxed 122.SS per cent.
Hats and bonnets costing $5 or less
per dozen are taxed 62 per cent,
while those costing more than 500 nor
dozen get in for S5 per cent.
How long, o, Lord how long?

ment from Samuel Gompers relative
to Oklahoma's constitution:
"The constitution of Oklahoma is
the greatest written instrument of hui
man freedom and justice existing in
any state of this or any other country,
and it should have an opportunity of
a, longer period than it has had to
demonstrate any defects which it may
contain.
The magnificent development in ev-
cry field Of human activity agricul-
tural, industrial. commercial, financial,
social and moral of the people of Ok
lahoma since the adoption of the con
lstitution, demonstrates beyond ques-
ton that there is not now a serious
obstacle to the further development of
Iall things contributing to their vel
fare.
have particular pride In Oklahol
mas people, her statehood, and her
constitution It was my pleasure to
I be helpful In the fight which Gener-
al Weaver made for the lands to be
thrown open to settlers and to fight
in the contest for statehood as well
as in the framing and adoption of the
constitution. In recognition of such
assistance as | was able to render, the
constitutional convention presented
me with the pen with which that in
strument was signed, but far better
than personal pride is the fact that the
supreme law of your state, its consti-
tuition, is tribute to the conception
of Justice and love of liberty which
the constitution declares and guar
antees.
May indulge in the earnest hope
that the men of farm and field and
honest business will arouse and assert
themselves, that the constitution of
Oklahoma shall be preserved undef1ed
from its wouId-be despoilers.
No one pretends that the state con-
StltRllon is a perfect document, and
as time goes on circumstances may
arise by which changes in the interest
of the peoples welfare may be neces-
sary, but when necessity arises the
constitution should be amended by its
friends rather than those who by
subtle means would undertake to drive
a wedge into that great document of
human rights. History has demon
strated that the opponents of freedom,
liberty, and justice do not disclose.
their full purpose. Their tactics are
to insidiously and under the guise Of
friendship urge the practicability of
scheme, and then if successful, en-
trenched with their new found power,
become defiant and domineering'

STRIKE RIOTS
 MAN SUICIDES
 ANOTHER SHOT

New York, Aug. 27-The resumption Of the cloak makers strike today after an apparent settlement had been reached, was marked by one suicide, a pistol fight in which a picket was shot through the arm, and numerous riots
 The renewal of the strike resulted rom the strikers rejection of their leaders proposal to concede the closed shop contention. When this plan was announced by John B. Lennon, treas urer of the American Federation of Labor, who had been sent here by President Gompers to conduct the strike, at a big meeting last night. the strikers became so aged that Len non and others thought it best to re- tire from the scene.
 Morris Levinson, whose funds had been exhausted by the strike and who was tired of being a charge on his mother, shot himself through the head when he heard that the strikers would not go back to work Monday.
 At an early hour today the police were called to Everett Hall, on East 4th street, to clear the place of a num- Der of strike pickets who had been making the hall their headquarters They engaged in a. fight this morning in which Joseph Matte was shot in the arm.

Word was received at police head quarters today to the effect that Luigi Jacobucci, the jealous husband who caped after he had fired upon and stabbed his wife and her companion in flight from East Boston, in a furnish ed room house at 673 Main street, early yesterday morning. is wanted for high way robbery in Boston.
 He was arrested two months ago, the Boston message says, for holding up a man, and was released in bail of $500. He was expected to appear for trial on Aug. 20. but failed to do so. The To- cal authorities believe the appearance of the man in this city was part of a pre-arranged flight from the jurisdic- ton of the Boston police. to avoid standing trial for the alleged offence.

 New York, Aug. 27.-Carried out 10 sea by strong wind against which his motor was powerless, J. C.. (Bud) Mars, the aviator, was being swept toward Sandy Hook early to- day when his Curtiss biplane sudden 5 ly collapsed. It dropped like a stone into the water about 300 yards from the clubhouse of the Atlantic Yacht Club at Seagate.- Mars got free Pf the machine in it's descent and was picked up, apparently uninjured, by a tugboat of the Merritt Chapman SWrecking Company which at once began to recover the aeroplane.
 A line was placed beneath it and by means of its big crane the wreck 1ng tug hauled the wrecked aeroplane aboard.
 Mars was taken to the Atlantic Yacht Clubs house at Seagate. He was greatly disappointed at the out como of his attempt, but promised to make another over-sea flight as soon as his machine Is repaired, which will be only a few days.
 It was shortly before ' o'clock this morning when Mars ascended from Sheepshead Bay despite the brisk breeze. He had planned the trip for several days and each morning had found a number of aeroplane en- start
 Mars had intended to fly to Fort wadsworth and then to Fort Hamil- ton. Although the distance from Sheepshead Bay to Fort Hamilton is only two miles Mars covered 15 miles when the accident occurred.

The piles of concrete are from the bed of the street which is being ripped up, preparatory to new pavement Be- tween Pembroke and East Main streets one of these piles stood high CT than the running board of the car. In speeding by, Walters foot struck the pile of concrete, almost turning him about, but he managed to main tain his hold on the car, or otherwise he might have met with fatal injuries. The top of his shoe was ripped off, and the force of the blow wrenched his leg. He was taken within the car and taken to the depot There friends took him to his home in Beardsley street, where he was treat ed by a surgeon.
 Today Waller placed his case in the hands of Attorney George A. Mara, who gave notice to the Con- necticut Go. of suit How much damage will be claimed is not known as yet, and will not, until it is def- nitely known the extent of Walters injuries
 The absence of Waller from the local staff will weaken the team con- siderably at this stage of the game. Next week the club has four games with the New Britain team, with whom they are tied for second place, and also have two games with Wa terbury, now leading the league.

 While he was passing over Coney the wind became even stronger and Mars found that he was going to have difficulty in making Fort Wadsworth. He went out over the ocean, planning to avoid the strong winds by taking a. circuitous route.

| Cheyenne, wyo., Aug. 7.-Colonel t0oosevelt got a real touch of the fast kvanishing "wild and woolly west" to- Fday when he was the guest of honor lot the closing days exercises of the lGrontier Day celebration, closing a s0olid week of cowboy excitement Eeuch as even Cheyenne never before witnessed. l For twelve hours with scarcely kbreak for rest the Colonel was to be Fin the hands of several thousand hill tarious COW boys-real "punchers" Egarbed in tho silk handkerchiefs, Heather chaps and wristlets and all !the other picturesque accoutrements iof the typical plainsman.
 When the Colonel reached the city ishortly after a. m-. he was officially fmet by a reception committee compos- led of state, Federal and city officials fwith a liberal sprinkling of cowboys, fand unofficially by several hundreds of plainsmen who uttered a series Of sdeafening yells to signalize their in ltense joy that the rough rider was 'in their midst"
 The reception committee escorted the guest of honor at once to stand near the state capitol building where he reviewed the largest and most Wyoming. Behind an advance guard of several score of mounted cow boys, five thousand United States troops representing every branch of the army and headed by Brigadier General Ralph w. Hoyt and his staff in full dress, came to port" as they marched past the Colonel. Two thousand cowboys and cow-girls, making the place hireous with their yells, followed. Several hundred Si- oux. Shoshone and Arapanoe Indians, dressed in the gaudiest of their war paint, were next in line. The red men were accompanied by their squaws, papooses and all the ponies they possessed, all arranged with the view of giving the Colonel reminder of his "dear dead days"
 Several hundred members of local civic societies and the Cheyenne fire department brought up in the rear. 1t took the parade nearly two hours to pass the reviewing stand. After the parade Colonel Roosevelt was the guest of honor at luncheon given by the prominent men of the town. This afternoon he made speech, in the hall park.

NEGLECTED BOARDER
 RESORTS TO AXE

Jealousy of two boarders for the fa- vors of Mrs. Ida Clark of 1097 Strat- ford avenue, led to a riotouS uproar last night when Herbert John Butler, a boarder who had been neglected, tore a piece of mosquito netting from a window, climbed into the house through a back way and brandished an axe at Mrs. Clark and Frank Fender, another boarder
 Butler was arrested by Policeman Flynn at a late hour, long after he had fled from the boarding house. The police at first contemplated charging him with committing an assault with intent to kill. but after investigation brought the charge of breach of the peace. Butler paid a fine of s5 inn posed in the City court today.
