Washington, Aug 11.-Senator Aid
rich of Rhode Island. enumerating the
counts under which he was indicted
by Senator Bristow of Kansas in his
recent campaign speeches dealing with
the tariff on rubber, in letter made
public tonight. denies the charges in
their entirety Incidentally he pays his
respects in caustic language to Bristow
and what he terms a little group of
men" who entertain opinions similar
10 those of the Kansas senator.
The letter is addressed to William B.
Mckinley of Illinois, chairman of the
republican congressional campaign
committee. and was sent to the head
quarters Of the committee in this city.
In explanation of the rubber duties a
denial of the charges made against him
by Brstow is based upon the fact that
Mr. Aldrich was called upon by a re-
publican candidate for congress to fur
nish the facts connected with the
changes in the recent tariff act.
ABSURD MlSSTATEMENTS
Referring to the charges of Bris-
tow as absurd misstatements," Mr..
Aldrich said that persistent reiteration
impelled him to make a full statement.
At the outset of his long letter the
senator divided the speeches of Bris-
tow into five parts each of which con-
tanned a specific charge.
In the first~place. the senator de
olared, the increase from 80 to 35 per
cent on a small number of manufac-
tured articles was for the purpose OF
making the tariff uniform on kindred
articles and facilitating the labors OF
the customs officials. In this connec-
ton he made public letter from Gen
eral Thad. s. Sharretts, a member of
the New York board of general ap-
praisers. asserting that the change was
advisable and that il had been agreed
upon unanimously by the senate and
house committees, conferees on the tar
iff bill at the earnest solicitation OF the
tariff experts Of the treasury depart
ment
Laying particular stress on the
charge made by Bristow, the chairman
of the senate finance committee said
that neither he nor any of his family
ever had a pecuniary interest whether
the rate of manufactures of rubber
were 80, 35 or 900 per cent, or whether
crude rubber was free or on the duti-
able list
Dealing then with the charges that
the Inter Continental Rubber company,
of which he is a director. is a trust
that advanced the price of crude rub
Der and controlled the worlds supply.
that the company paid enormous divi-
dends, Aldrich treated each at great

ESSENTIALS TO iNSURGENT
SUCCESS.

Without raising an issue concerning
"progressiVes" in the campaign gener-
ally. Mr. Aldrich referred to Bristow
and his immediate associates as fol-
lows: I'm the tariff discussions in 9TH
er days, advocates of the protective
policy were usually called upon to
meet in debate with men with convic-
tions on the subject-democrats. in
character, whose theories of govern
ment differed completely from those
held by republican protectionists-men
who had some regard for accuracy of
statements and knowledge of the sub
ject discussed.
Now. attacks upon republican meas
ures are led by men whose political
existence depends upon their capacity
and this seems to have no limit, for
misrepresentation. and the ignorance
of their adherents. Strangely enough,
this little group of men. very small in
number, has arrogated to itself the
leadership of the progressives. and its
members prate about the treatment
OF the tariff as moral question"
Mr.. ALDRICH'S LETTER.
The letter of Senator Aldrich fol-
lows:
my Dear Mr.. Mckinley have
been asked by republican candidate
for congress in an Illinois district to
furnish him the facts with reference
to changes in the rubber duties of the
tariff act Persistent reiteration and
absurd misstatements by Mr.. Bristow
with reference to the tariff on rubber,
furnishes such a choice illustration of
the nature of criticisms of this charac-
ter by certain critics of the tariff, that
it seems desirable that a-full statement
of the facts should be made in response
to the inquiry.
Mr.. Bristow's statements were as
follows:
'1-That the committee on finance OF
which | was chairman. increased the
duty upon certain manufactures of rub
ber from 80 to 80 per cent.
.'2-That during the session, or inn
mediately after the adjournment of
congress, |. i'm connections with others,

Not China Ware.

The successful mans wife was
just brimful of comparisons. One
day she told her friend that people
were divided into Glasses. Why
it's even worse than that, for such
people as you and | are the china
ware of the cupboard Of lie, while
those who serve Us are jus, plain
crOckery."
This was told in the hearing of
the Irish gardner. In a few NOM
entS she told Mike to tell Marie to
bring the baby down stairs. This
was his chance. He stepped to the
foot of the stairway and called
Marie, you are crockery, so just
bring china'S baby down for COM
pany to see.
This angered the lady and shs
told Mike to 60 to his room, take of
every garment that her husband
had given to him and come to he:
at once, as she would have his pay
ready and he would be discharged.
He did as he was hidden and all
that he took off was shoes, coat,
vest and trousers. When he return
ed to the reception hall he slipped
behind big leather chair and the
lady lectured.
Hubby came in and sent Mike to
his room to put on the outer cover

THE JEFFERSONIANS.
Thomson, Ga.
Jones'.

Under this title Thomas Dreier
tells the story, in Human Life for
November, of a man whose life is a
monument to pure grit. He is one
of the unsung heroes fighting a bat
tie against fearful odds, whose ex-
ample has done more to put heart
into discouraged fellow mortals
than all the great deeds ever
wrought on bloody fields of war.
For nearly thirty years this man
has been an almost helpless invalid
his limbs twisted by rheumatism.
For the first seven years he lay on
his back, and his consuming desire
was to be able some day to turn
over on his side. Think of it!
This was misfortune enough to
put most men out of business.
To Jones it acted as spur, and
drove him into building up a nation
al business that runs away up into
the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars a year. He is a living example
of what freakish Fortune will do
for a man who refuses to acknowl-
edge himself beaten.
This article dwells but little on
Mr.. JoneS's affiiction much on the
way in which he took up the I'M
equal struggle when, in day almost
sudden illness changed the whole
current of his life. When he could
no longer use his body, tortured and
twisted as it was by pain, he was
compelled to use his brain. He re-
called an industry in New England
in his early days, the product of
which was in much demand by the
neighbors. In little room off the
kitchen in the Jones home the work
had its first humble beginning.
Now it covers the whole continent.
1t would be hard to find story
to overtop in human interest what
this stricken man has accomplished.

Canoeing the Unkind Words

Some of older boys and girls
doubtless have studied cancellation
in school But there is another
kind of cancellation that can be
used by boys and girls of all ages.
For example, two boys were speak
ing of another boy.
He is so slow in games, said one.
Yes" replied the other, but he
always plays fair"
He is SO stupid at school," said
the first boy.
But he always studies hard" an
SWareu the second.
Thus you see every uukind word
spoken by the first boy was cancel
ed by a kind word from the second.
Suppose the next time we hear an
unkind word we try to cancel it by
putting kind enc in its place. Ex

Where Money Goes.

The cost of the national govern
ment is but a small part of the bur-
den on the taxpayers. The expens-
es of cities are manifold greater to
each person than are those of the
Union. The census brings together
the figures for the 1853 cities of the
country which have a population of
$4,000 and over. Their expenditure
for the year 1908 were 1851 per
capita Boston far surpassed this
r ton, and leads in moneys aid
,o9 local administration, showing
Il outlay for each person Of S2758;
New York comes next with its
municipal budget Of $2771 per capt.
ia while Washington follows close
with a cost Of $246S Tor each per-
son. The chief item Of expenditure
in cities are schools, police and fire
protection.
Last year under the laws Of Con-
6ress for ali purposes the nation
spent $660,728,252. This amount
cared for pensions, the army and
navy, the courts, lighthouses, the
foreign service and all the depart
ments at the capital. Of this sum
$733 on the average falls on each
inhabitant, Set this over against
1851, the average cost per capita
of local rule in the cities, and $2471
in New York city. The contrast
will show that the national machin-
cry costs less that at home, under
the very eyes of the citizens.
The public schools are maintain
ed in the cities at a cost of $4.70
per capita, while $2,25 is paid for
the fire department. Thus schools
and police in the cities cost $685. a
year per capita less than the total
ordinary disbursement of the nation
al government.
The taxpayers are proud of the
public school and do not begrudge
the moneys spent for them. The
police is required for Safety Of the
community, for the maintenance OF
law and order. If the funds are
laid out honestly and wisely, the
taxpayers will not scrimp either
schools or the police. People are
apt to forget that these cost almost
as much as all the machinery OF
the Union. EX.

Have you ever noticed that there
are many people who take particu-

vote for the MANI" This is a good
doctrine, no doubt, but the people
always consider the candidate of

there's nothing in political parties.
He merely wants you to scratch
