The fight of the farmer is
not only to obtain privileges
for himself, but TO keep
others from securing prlvi-
leges at his expense. All
that the farmer asks is an
equal opportunity to live and
labor and enjoy the fruits OF
honest toll. That he has suf-
fered as much or more than
any other class by reason of
the granting of Governmental
favors to a favored few no
one can deny.
Everything the farmer sells
is in competition with ali the
world; on everything he buys
he is forced to pay a heavy
tariff tax. The people have
commenced TO awaken to the
injustice the tariff schedules

of politics sounds well, but
what does such a move mean

people are Incompetent to
pass upon the tariff question,
by what process of reasoning
can it be assumed that they
are competent to determine
other questions? If this
question should not be in pol

that should be il. politics?
If the protective tariff ben
Gifted all alike no one would

badly cut on both sides.
Collins, who lives at 114S Morse street

to the wife. Collins said:

With a razor which he carried he
cIashed his throat. His wife Immediately
grappled with him, and after a hard
fight succeeded in making him drop the

same to her mothers assistance. The po-
lice and the ambulance were summoned
and Collins was carried to the hospital
Collins has for years been foreman

chain gang when 1t works on street
improvements and making roads The
officials in the engineer department say
that he is one of the best foremen they
have ever had.
Dependency over his health Is thought
to be the cause of his attempt to kill
himself. About a year ago one of his
ankles was badly crushed in an accident
and a few weeks ago his hand was Sc
verely cut. Recently he has suffered
from insomnia.
