MURDERER BOASTS
OF HIS CRIMES
Terror Of St. Louis Must
Hang for Misdeeds.
The "Candy Bandit" Declares to
Authorities That it Means
Neck Stretching.

Staggering and smiling, as il pleas
ed at the prospect Of what he says
will be a certain neck stretching for
him, Ligh Rheodus, the candy ban
dit" has confessed to the st. Louis
police that he had committed at least
one murder and score of robberies,
and had served two terms in prison.
He also admitted giving candy he
stole to his wife.
With the aid of man who regards
murder and robbery as the most en-
joyable of sports, Chief of Detectives
Ryan learned that he had slain DR..
w. ID. Michaelis. in Chicago, last sum
mer, thus clearing up a murder mys-
terry that has baffled the police of
the Chicago metropolis for weeks
Yes, l shot him. Rhodus told
Chief Ryan. II saw big diamond
ring glittering on his hand while he
was some distance from me, and when
we met | ordered him to throw up
his hands. He refused to do SO and
kept his hands in his pockets.
believed he had gun, so | shot him
to keep him from shooting ME-"
The two-score persons who swarm
ed about the police station To identi-
fly Rhodus as the candy robber' who
operated in drug stores and butch
er shops in St. Louis for two months
amused him greatly and he joked
about his appreciative admirers while
he was being led to and from the de-
tective bureau, where his Bertillion
measurements were taken.
In addition to the four-year peni-
Tertiary snteence for burglary COM
mitted at Springfield, Mo-, in 1904,
Rhodus admitted he had served %
days in Jail at a small Missouri town
for an attempted hold-up.
After his arrest Rhodus talked
freely about his recent crimes, but he
was uncommunicative when Chief Ry-
an questioned him about the killing
of a man at Moline, ILL.,, and another
at Rock Island. He also declared he
is the man who robbed the Burning
tons Overland Limited in the st.
Louis yards the night of Sept 6, and
killed Flagman j. NJ. Wine, but he
showed such a lack of knowledge of
the facts of the crime that the po-
lice are loath to believe this story.
That he robbed and killed just for
the fun of it is apparent from an
interview with his wife. She said th;a
after he came home.

Preside ntial Tariff View

LINCOLN; / don't know much
about the Tariff, but ! know this
much: When we buy manufactured
goods abroad We get the goods and
the foreigner gets the money. When
we buy the manufactured goods at
home we get the goods and the
money.
GRANT: The American system of
locating manufacturing next to the
pillow and the pasture has produced
a result noticeable by she intelligent
portion of all commercial nations.
HARRISON: The more work there
is TO do in this country the higher
the wages that will be paid for doing
it. That policy which secures the
largest amount ofwork to be done
at home is the policy which will
secure to our laboring men steady
employment at the best wages.
MCKINLEY: The Republican party
stands for honest money and the
chance to earn it by honest toll.
Protection has vindicated itself. 1t
cannot be helped by eulogy on hurt by
defamation; it has worked it own de-
monsration and it presents in the
sight OF the whole world it match
less trophies.
ROOSEVELT: Yhis country has
and this country needs better paid,
better educated, better fed and better
clothed workmen, of a higher type
than are to be found in any foreign
country. 1t has and 1t needs a high
er more vigorous and more prosper
GUS type OF tillers of the soil than
is possessed by any other country.
TAFT: The present business sys-
tenn Of the country rests on the
Protective Tariff, and any attempt to
change 1t TO Free-Ta,ade basis will
lead to disaster. II is i'm
portant that all Republicans who be-
lieve in the party principles as de-
clared in the national platform OF
1908 should give the candidates loyal
and effective support. II this is done
there will be no doubt of Republican
majority. The only alternative is a
Democratic victory.

Our Democratic friends tel lus tina,
We are being taxed TO death by a
protective tariff system and khlk
Elbly as though they would repeal
the entire law, Custom Houses and
all. If given power and thus rid the
people az one fell swOop of all tax
-. The truth is that very few peo-
pie in Ohio county pay one cent tax
es in the way of tariff duties. They
fail to tell us where the money is
TO come from to run this great gov
eminent, il the Custom Houses are
10 be abolished, and we infer that
they mean to levy a direct tax for
that purpose When that Is done it
will be another generation before
many people will again vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t will be much
worse than the scramble to get away
from Democracy in 1896, after a
trial OF Democratic tariff law.

A Halloween Party.

Last Saturday evening Misses Mar
lam Holbrook and Mary Anderson
were hostesses at a charming Hal
lowe'en party, given at the home of
the former. The weird light cast
over the parlor by green-sha AIDED
lights and Lanterns scattered
here and there. made the room look
as II 1t were indeed an abode of
spirits. The earlier part of the ev.
ening was spent in the interesting
task OF discovering the indemnity OF
the numerous druids, witches and
ghosts, while later, many novel con-
tests were heartily taken part in I'M
til the guests were summoned to APP
propriate refreshments. Dining
room and table were artisticalIy dec
Grated with pumpkins. foliage and
other features suggestive of the Hal
lowe'en season. Slightly past 1890
the guests departed, having spent
most enjoyable evening. M

Cummins Talks Republican.

In his address before the Hamilton
Club OF Chicago, Senator Cummins
pointed out the folly of voting for
Democrats on the question of The tar
if and added: For the man who in
his heart, wants to preserve fair and
reasonable protection for the Ameri-
can wage Garner and American pro-
Queer, and who, therefore, wants du-
ties so adjusted that they will meas
ure the difference between the cost OF
production at home and abroad, and
who in his heart abhors the Demo-
cratic fallacy OF duties for revenue
only, It would be the extreme of mad
ness. to vo-e for Democratic candi-
date for Congress, because that Demo-
crat, if he is true to the teachings OF
his party, will rob the country of its
surest safeguard"
That is what Republicans have
been saying all along. The platform
of 1908 So, forth that the true prin-
ciple of protection is beat maintained
by the imposition of such duties as
will equal the difference between the
cost of production at home and
abroad, together with a reasonable
profit TO American industries Work
ing on that line the Republican Sixty
first Congress in it's special session,
passed the Payne tariff act. The only
difference betwene the Payne act and
Senator Cummins statement is that
the Republican Congress aimed TO fur
nish the reasonable profit to Ameri-
can industries" which the platform
urged. Would the Iowa statesman
want the industries to work without
a reasonable profit?" If they were
required to do that the industries
would quickly shrink, hundreds of
thousands of wage earners would be
thrown out of employment and We
would have the Democratic day of
adversely back again, which he con-
dennis.
II the insurgents look at the facts
calmly, and without prejudice, they
will see that their revolt was cause
less. The Republican Congress to The
best of its ability and opportunity,
carried out the pledge of the platform
on which all Republican candidates
stood in 1908. A man who rejects the
Payne act rejects the Republican plat
form, and the man who does this can
not consistently call himself a Repub-
lican. The truth is that insurgency is
based on misunderstanding and hys-
terra. If insurgency honestly believe
what It says about the tariff II has no
reason for divergence from the Re-
publican party. The Democratic party
which the insurgents denounce, can be
beaten only by the Republicans. The
insurgents themselves are giving 1t.
the aid and comfort which are en-
couraging it to make such a canvass
as it has not been able to make prev
iously since the presidential CAM
paign of 1892. The man who persists
in calling himself an insurgenE and in
casting insurgent ballots is a Demo-
cra5 and not Republican.-Globe
Democrat.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1910-11-04

that the democratic party. II given
every branch OF che government could
not possibly enact tariff law which
would please more than half OF lis
members, much less the rest of
the people of the United States. When
in control, under Cleveland's resign.
they not only failed to pass law
which pleased any considerable num-
Der of the people, but passed one
with which the president himself was
so displeased that he refused to sign
1t, and permitted II to become a law
by limitation, without his signature.
The statement by Mr.. Johnson that
every time a man buys an overcoat
for SIS he pays 50 tariff is net borne
out by the facts. The truth Is that
one can now get good overcoat
for $40 and If 50 of 1t is paid in tar
iff duties We have only 81 left for the
production of she coat from the raw
material to the finished product, which
represents labor Does Mr.. Johnson
or anyone else for him pretend, If
the tariff was removed from all wool
en- or manufactured goods such as
overcoats, that they could be bought
for the present price less the tar
iff. If they could be bought at such
a price the farmerwho produces the
wool, the farmer who produces the
cotton and ahe poor laborer who
works in the manufacturing establish
ment would be the loser and no. on
ly would the farmer lose because his
sheep ard wool would be rsduced far
below the cost of production, as was
tn clsc during the Wilson Gorman tar
iff law, but he would be deprived of
a h M market to lChe extent that
these lahorers who work in the fac
tories would be deprived of work, or
decent wag S. 1t would not make
much difference 10 the farmer or any
other consumer if overcoats soldN at
$1.79 IL piece If he could not pro-
duce that amount of money. Mr..
Johnson failed to tell us just what
kind of tariff he and his party |
would enact. People would like to
know whether We are to have abso- |
lutte free trade or tariff for revenue |
only, or a tariff for revenue with in
protection. The Democratic |
party is made up of all three classes
Of tariff advocates and If given charge
Of Congress they could not agree up
ON a tariff law in four years. 1t is |
very easy when OUT of power to cri-
ticise those who have in charge con-
structive legislation. 1t ds another |
matter altogether to be given re- !
sponsibility and under the critical,
eyes of the whole country 10 attempt |
some sort of wcll defined policy. The !
Democratic party is essentially a
party of opposition and upon this
alone can it thrive. 1t will assurely
go to pieces when charged with the |

ton along the lines of its theories
As day succeeds night. However while
this is taking place passed history

great many others at present pros
prous ande thriving citizens of the
United States will also go 10 pieces.

SOME ORANGES

PHOENIX. Aug. 19. California and Florida have for years past been making an awful noise about their oranges. but each year the Salt River valley product brings the highest price on the eastern market and is more sought after by the buyers than any other oranges in the world.
 According to the crop report of the department of agriculture Arizona led the rest of the country on August 1 with the orange crop. 100 per cent. )f normal Texas was next with 95 per cent. The crop in Florida was 65; Mississippi, 75; Louisiana, 77; California orange crop. 91; lemon crop, S9 per cent
 The only other state where the lemon crop is reported is Florida, where it was 71 per cent.
 The above report will undoubtedly spike the guns of California and Florida for some time to come.

The Generous 6rab,

"One day when in our wanderings we happened to camp near some roll ing country the sheik and l rode on in search of gazelles." says 6 traveller in Arabia. We found a large herd. and. being mounted on good horses. we managed to ride them down. throwing ourselves of our horses for the shot then galloping on again. We killed six gazelles in about an hour and rode back to camp with enough meat for a big feast It is the custom that who ever kills game should provide feast for all bis friends. On the occasion of these feasts 1 noticed that there was always a crowd of hangers-on waiting at the end for a scrap of food. half starved looking boys and ragged men. These were orphans whose parents had been killed or men whose herds had been lifted by other Arabs. and as a result they were destitute. for the law of the Bedouin is survival of the fttest' in its strictest sense. But the sheik supplied food liberally. and noticed that he always looked after the poor and fed the hungry"
