Bali OUR's KEYNOTE SPEECH
Says Tariff Reform Is Great
Policy of the Unionists.

Nottingham England, Nov. T--Arthur j
Balfour, the leader Of the opposition III
the House of Commons, addressed an I'M
portant political gathering here tonight
Mir. BaIfour dealt with the present crisis
from all angles and outlined the policies
of the Unionists.
Tariff reform he said. still stood as the
great constructive policy to which the
Unionists were committed, but if the bene-
fits thercfrom were only pUrchaseable by
throwing the burden on the wage-earnng
classes he would not touch it. The Union
lists proposed to wage no defensive war
fare. hut to show the country that they
had an imperial and domestic policy car
rying infinite advantages to the country.
Mr.. Balfour advised his audience not TO
believe all the unauthorized reports con-
corning the proceedings Of the veto confer
cnce. and said that if the Unonists had
agreed upon the only terms which would
have made an agreement possible they
would have betrayed their cause. He con-
sdered that the House Of Commons should
he the dominant clement in = two-chamber
system and that djssensions arising be-
tween the two Chambers should be sub
nit+ed for the peoples arbitration.
In the opinion OF the speaker the House
of Lords membership should be reduced
to men Of public service. There should
also be an element elected by the peers
and another element, equal to the other
two, representing the great bodies of pub
lie opinion. lie opposed a wholly elective
second chamber, because it would usurp
the position Of the first.
The Nationalist and Socialists. continued
Mr.. BalfoUT. We're driving the government
into an ATTEMPT 10 destroy the constitution
by the abolition Of the Lords power Of
veto. This he characterized as a revolution
| financed by American gold. If 1t was TO
such degradation that party government
had brought the country. then party gov
ernment had broken down.
If we alter the constitution at the bid
ding of log rollers who cared nothing for
our empire said Mr. Balfo,Ir I'VE are no
longer capable of self government
He appealed TO every man to see that
britain should manage its own affairs. The
Unionist leader spoke for an hour and a
half and had a magnificent reception
That the American dollar ana the Irish
dictator will figure largely in the Union
list campaign was Indicated by the excite

Henry Chaplin. Unionist Member OF Parlia-
ment for Wimbledon, and former president

Chicago, Nov 12.-"The medical
profession OF the world is still handi-

paralysis This statement was made
at the meeting of the Chicago Neuro
logical Society by DR.. II. K. Robertson,
assistant professor of pathology in the
University of Minnesota.
I'VE are up against IT," said Doctor
Robertson. We have not been able
to cultivate the germs in laboratories.
We cannot learn anything from ami.
mails. We cannot even diagnose thu
disease because the first certain symp-
tom is the paralysis of the patient.
"The disease attacks the strongest
and most active children" continued
Doctor Robertson. ut Is not con
fined to infants. Many victims are
adults. The high fatality Is caused
by reaching the acute stage in three
or four days. Up TO that time the
symptoms might indicate any infec'
tious malady There are no definite
symptoms, and the first warning the
practitioner has is the paralysis OF
his patient"

ANOTHER TRAGEDY
In GUIOU FAMILY
Father Stricken Suddenly and Dies Be-
fore Daughter Reaches His Side.
Mrs. Guiou Killed Ia Insane
Asylum Two Weeks Ago.

Prior M. Guiou, age go years, died
Friday night at 10:35 at his home
on Stilwell Heights. Death was caused
by neuralgia Of the heart. In part at
least it was probably brought on by a
series of tragedies which have followed
the dead mans family recently.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Guiou. while a
patient in the asylum for the insane
at Nevada, Mo-, was killed by an
other female patient. Mrs. Guiou S
throat was cut with a putty knife
which had been stolen from some
painters who were at work at the asy-
lum.
Miss Sophronia Guiou, the 2O-year-
old daughter of the dead man, is the
only relative living in Mena. A son,
W. D. Guiou, is now in jail in Kansas
City, awaiting the action of a lunacy
commission before receiving sentence
for assault with intent to kill his To-
year-old wife. A sister of the de-
ceased, Miss S. E. Guiou of Kansas
City, was notified.
The daughter who lives here came
to Mena with her father on account
of her health, little over two months
ago. She is now staying at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. H. j. Riding. The
death of her father, following the other
trouble, leaves this young woman in a
pitiful condition. Since the funeral of
her mother. with her father she has re-
manned quietly at their home here
comforting the other in their grief.
Mr.. Guiou has been in usual health
and no intimation of his death came
to his daughter until shortly after re-
firing that night she heard a sound
from the sitting room, where her faith
er was lying on sofa, like a gasp for
breath. She found him unable to
speak and dying.
Another sad feature connected with
the affair is that Mr.. Guiou came to
Mena and purchased their home here
partially because his wife was regain
ing her health and up until the time
she was murdered they had been ex-
pecting to bring her here to the new
home. The father and daughter had
been arranging the home with this
hope in view.
