Free Trade and Price S.

Public opinion compelled Congress,
when it was considering the tariff bill,
to put the products of the Standard
Oil Trust on the free list. Now, the
consumers of refined oil are having
their reward, for the trust has been
compelled to reduce the price. Oil in
barrels has now been cut in price from
81 to 81 cents at the refinery, and re-
fined oil in tanks has been reduced
from 81 to 81 cents a gallon. The
trust says in late statement: 1.-The
level of prices for refined oil today in
the United States is lower than at any
time during recent years, and as d.
rect result of these prices the con
sumption of refined oil in this country
is increasing"
That is tariff lesson which he who
runs may read; and further, that the
lower the price of commodities, the
more is consumed because the same
anout of wages will buy more. If the
Standard Oil Trust did.not have vir-
tual monopoly of the pipe lines and
the means of distribution, the price of
refined oil would be lower still.

The Republican "Ballyhoo. -

The Colonel is to tote Stimson. the
Republican candidate for governor of
New York, around the State and will
take part of the "ballyhoo, as the
Coney Island show circles call it. In
plain English, the 'ballyhoo" is the
spectacle which attracts the crowds,
and Mr.. Roosevelt will no doubt fill
the bill. When the Colonel ran for
governor in 1893 the "ballyhoo" con-
sisted of two Rough Riders in uniform
and it usually drew crowd. Still it
is difficult to believe that the voters
Of New York can be seduced from
their party allegiance by simply see-
ing the Colonel and hearing him ex-
press his opinion in the classic English
that he often employs. He may at

Bigger Men in Politic s.

Since 1897 there have been no ma
tional politics to interest big men. 1t
has been child's play even the Spanish
War was farce, although it did pro-
duce Teddy and Fusion. But times
have changed, and the big men are
going into politics and the little men
are being retired. Just think of Can
non and Aldrich running the United
States But they have been doing so,
and no one able to say them nay.
When Roosevelt was president he had
to consult Cannon and Aldirch, and
was entirely subservient to their
standpat congressional program. He
contantly procrastinated on recon-
mending tariff reform. No insurgency
that amounted to anything developed
during his reign, for he always backed
downsat the last minute and left any
unfOrtOunate whom he had encouraged
to jnsu'ge in the lurch. Roosevelt
would brag and buster, but be soon
subsidized when he found that he was
up against it,. He would not fight
losing battle for fear of the result
on the page of history.
Mr.. Roosevelt is now confronted
with some big Democrats who
don't fear him-and although they
may not be so versatile as he, know
ing what they want. will get it. All
hail the day of bigger men in Ameri-
can politics!

History. made century ago in
France, is repeating itself in Portugal,
for down to the smallest details the
freeing of Portugal from monarchial
rule is parallel story of the French
revolution.
Primarily, indefnable popular I'm
rest, like that which caused the in
surgency in the Republican party in
the United States, forms the backbone
of both revolutions. In Portugal this
unrest is founded on two main causes,
the same as it was in France: First,
the people were facing starvation
while the royalty and the nobility
were pArading the luxury they wrung
from the comoners by excessive tax
alton; second, the people were becom-
ing educated, and history teaches
that education is always followed by
the demand for self-government.
Students have always been the leaders
in revolts. 1t was so in Portugal, it
was so inf rance, it was so in Russia,
where the revolt was checked.
Discomfort against the ruling powers
once started is fed on a thousand and
one things which ordinarily would re-
ceive scant notice, and demand for
minor reforms, which ordinarily would
be made through the constituted
authorities, becomes fuel for the revo-
lutionary flame. Violence supplants
petition. police power is exerted, caus-
ing rioting. and the mob spirit gradual
ly grows until, at the psychological
moment, it bursts forth in revolution
and the monarchy is evertbrown.
In Portugal, like in France, a wo-
man occupied prominent place in the
upheaval. In Portugal it was Gaby
Deslys, an actress who has captured
the heart of the boy King, Manuel. In
France it was the Queen. Antoinette.
Resentment over the action of
Manuel in bedecking his actress sweet
heart in jewels worth fortune, while
his subjects were clamoring for bread,
and then Haunting her before the pub
lie, helped rouse the people to desper-
alton.
The purchase of a necklace worth a
fortune by Marie Antoinette when
Frenchmen were on the verge of star
walton occupied similar place In the
French revolution. The famous
Queens necklace has a rival in the
diamond necklace which' at present
encircles the throat of the actress
Deslys.

Or. CROffORD Is FREE
Gov. Carroll Finally Grants a Full
Pardon Upon the Recommends
tiOn of State Parole Board.

At last DR.. j. w. Crofford is free
man. On last Saturday morning
Gov. Carroll, acting on the report of;
the state board of parole, granted
DR.. Crofford an absolute pardon and
on Monday the pardon was PERSONAL
ly handed to Mrs. Crofford by Gov.
Carroll, and she hurried to Ft. Madi-
son to place 1t in her husbands
hands.
Several months ago the board of
parole recommended that Or. Croft
ford be granted a pardon, but before
the governor acted on it there was q
strong protest filed, and the testi-
mony of DR.. A. Brown, Of Des
Moines, formerly of Leon, who testi-
fed that a criminal operation had
been performed on Maude Stone
prior to the time she went to DR..
Crofford's sanatorium at Lamont,
fort made to impeach his testimony,
a number of afidayits being fled to
this effect with the governor. So
strong was the protest that Gov.
Carroll referred the matter back to
the board of parole with the recon-
mendation that they make further
investigation in the case, and they
having again recommended that a
pardon be granted to DR.. Crofford,
and saying in substance that they be-
lieyed the testimony given by DR..
Brown to be true, the governor final
,ly granted the pardon.
DR.. Crofford was sentenced to a
term of thirteen years in the peni-
tentiary for performing criminal
operation upon Maude Stone which
resulted in her death. He was twice
tried and convicted, the case being
| reversed by the supreme court, and
at the second trial which was held at
Osceola he was again convicted and
/ given sentence of thirteen years
DR.. Crofford has always maintained
that he was innocent, and his wife
has stood by him faithfully and
| worked necessarily to secure his par
don. Since his conviction she has
been working as a nurse in Des
Moines.
