FOss Flags Tariff as a HuncO Game.

Congressman Eugene n. Foss of Mas
sachusetts in his maiden speech in Con-
gress Saturday made the most bitter at
tack upon the Payne Aldrich tariff that
has been heard this year. His declara-
tion that the people had lost confidence
in the Republican party evoked a round
of applause from the Democratic end.
Mr.. Foss's speech was a sensational at
tack upon the tariff bill. He denounced
the Republican policy Of protection as an
unmitigated evil. fayed the Republican
leaders, declared the recent revision of
the tariff to be "bunco game" from start
to finish, pronounced in favor of reci-
procity and demanded a new session Of
Congress at the earliest opportunity to
revise the tariff. At the conclusion of his
remarks Mr.. Foss engaged in a contro-
versy with Representative Hin of COnnec-
ticut, a member OF the ways and means
committee which framed the new tariff
act.

ly, the election OF a Democratic House of
Representatives this year unless the Re-
publican party carries out its pledges in
reference to the traffic agreements be-

says:
l most earnestly wish that our party
will fulfil its obligations to obey our plat
form of the last election in respect to the
antitrust law To do that you will see
if you carefully read it on that subject,
that it cannot pass the seventh section Of
the proposed railroad bill in any form that
II has yet been presented by our party
leaders, and that If passed in that form
IL will be a distinct and barefaced viola
ton Of its declarations, which were that
the interstate commerce law should be
amended so as to authorize, with the ap-
proval OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, railway operators to make traf-
fic arrangements, but preserving the prln-
ciple Of keeping up competition and only
authorizing arrangements that should not
be in restraint of trade. / am sorrowful-
ly expecting that II we do not hold to that
we shall certainly lose a majority in the
next House OF Representatives, and !
think in such case we should deserve
It,
The substance of the platform was in
these respects that the traffic arrange
ments should be lawful as the law now is,
and that 1t never thought of leaving to
any extensive authority. however trust
worthy, the power to decide what should
or should not be criminal under the re-
straint of trade law. l do not believe
that a single instance can be shown in
which an honest and just traffic arrange
ment has been made which would violate
the law as it stands. II there is l should
like to have the public see a copy Of it.

caused his death about half an hour
later Mr.. Whdden went to Greenfield
Saturday afternoon and intended to
return home on the train arriving at
1925 o'clock that night. He went to
barber shop in the evening, but there
were so many ahead of him that he
could not wait. and with a remark to
that effect he left the shop. For some un-
known reason he slipped as he left the
steps and fell heavily, the back of his
head striking against the edge of
step. He was unconscious when found
by policeman Fitzgerald, but he regained
partial consciousness at the Greenfield
police station, where he was taken at
once. He tried to tell his name, but he
was unable to do so. An examination
Of his clothing revealed the mark, "E.
Whidden," and there was a ticket for
Brattleboro in his pocket.

department telephoned to Chief-of-Police

1876 with sc seconds, would be short OF
the 400-yard mark when MaXey Long,

have been unable even to hold Ray Ewry,

ditions of admission and establish rules

BUSINESS MEN RESPONSIBLE.
Must Have Honesty i'm Business if We
Expect Honesty in Politicians.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-"The business
men of this country are chiefly re-
sponsible for the political graft and
corruption SO widespread throughout
the nation" said Julius Henry CO.
hen, a lawyer, Of New York, in an
address before the members Of the
Chicago Credit Mems Association, at
their annual banquet last night. His
subject was Business and Politics."
we hear a great deal about the
grating Legislature and the bribe-
taking public officials in these days, =
said Mr. Cohen, but want to ask
you who makes possible this graft
and who offers these bribes? We
have in Chicago and New York two
specific instances.
I'm my own city we have a legisla-
tive scandal in which member of
the Legislature IS accused of accept
ing 81 900 as a bribe for his vote.
Bridge companies are not run by
legislators; they are managed by the
business men. While we have grown
commercially powerful are we becom
ing morally great? think not, and
the chief reason why we are not Is
that the very men to whom belongs
the chief credit for our tremendous
prosperity are the men who exercise
the most malign influence over the
public morals. The business men Of
the country must establish standard
or plain, common honesty"

The diary of ascook, written dur
Ing the 136 days OF the siege of

Of q French journalist, who culled
from 1t some details. The restau-

the prices on which climbed as stead
ily as the mercury in summer ther-

A month before the capitulation

Piantes gradually disposed of nearly
ali Its animals, charging from Z to
IL francs pound for various kinds
or exotic meats. Rats began at Is
centimes piece and rose to two
francs. They were served under the
name or game ragout. For a time
there was regular rat market. Cats
brought up to seven francs each.
When the famine had gone SO far
That families began to eat their own
dogs, Francisque Sarcey protested
vigorously, declaring that he would
sooner have expected Orestes to eat
Pylades, or Paul his Virginia, or one
or the Siamese twins the other.
One worthy couple had a net by
name of Bijou, Of which they were
very fond; but one day there was
nothing else left to eat, and he went
into the pot. The two had tears in

About the Red Men.

An interesting story illustrating the
honor of an Indian is going the
rounds Of the papers.
Sonny Smith, an Indian half
breed, sat in the sheriff's Office at
Tulsa, Oklahoma, charged with mur-
der, according q the story. His two
sons were fugitives from justice on
the same charge.

Sheriff Newbrook smiled grimly.
What guarantee have if let you

victim was young man, popular in
the town, and connected with the
best families in the county. But on
the fifth day Sonny" appeared with
