ROOSEVELT WILL
 BE THE ISSUE IN
 COMING CAMPAIGN
Chairman Mack of Demo- cratic National Commit tee, Says Teddy Will Play, On Western Plains and In Middle States.
Especial from United Press, ,,


 Buffalo, July 23-"Out on the vest ern plains and in the middle states Theodore Roosevelt Is to be the Re- publican issue in the coming Con- gressional campaign" declares Chair man Norman E. Mack of the Demo- cratic National Committee in sign ed editorial in the August number of the National Monthly.
 "The Republican organization Iead- CTS are planning" he says, "to r1at1o the Congressional issue in the weae Theodore Roosevelt, in the east Presi-
 Tn commenting upon this program Mack says:
 Those who benefit most by reason of Republican success are not partf- cular whether the people get the idea. that Taft and Roosevelt are apars or whether they are together bur they do desire the peppIe of the wexE to be impressed with the teIief that all the western candida tes on the Re- publican ticket are running for are Taft men, For the present, Mir. Roosevelt is to be all fnsurgcnt and It will not De difficult for him to play the part, for he is by nature hostile to organized procedure.
 "The recent display of fireworks in New York rather indicates that Mr. Roosevelt is no longer the effective instrument he was when he held the reins over the patronage and prfvf- leges of the White House. He has lost, not his power of attracting the crowds, for he will never lose that, but his power to enforce his will up- on them. The New York legislature met him ir all the glory of that up- roarious homecoming and gave him their admiration and applause. But they denied him their votes.
 The organization will control no matter if all the insurgents are re- turned and number of new ones with them. The split in the party is very great and there will be no ef- fort, because there can be no guc- cessful effort, to heal it. That fact makes the RooseveIt-Taft relation snip of but little moment at present The insurgents will be left to them selves and Roosevelt. If both ends are successful the reconciliation will come after that action. The regulars will defend the Payne-Aldrfch tariff, they will p1oh-pooh the high cost of living, they will wave the stars and stripes. The insurgents will denounce the tariff and deprecate the high cost of living. They too will wave the star spangled banner and thus the Republican party will go into the Congressional campaign on both ends of every important proposition trust ing thereby to win the support of the unfortunate consumers as they are already assured of the support of tfls financiers in the east"

London, July 23.-Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who has been in charge of the search for Dr. H. H. Crippen, murderer of his wife, Belle Fillmore, left hurriedly today for Can ada after admitting that information had been received which indicated that an important clue had been found there as to the Whereabout of the missing man.

WOMEN'S CLOTHES COST MORE. Women's clothes cost more this year than they did last as a result of the Payne-Aldrich bill. A woman's ready made suit costs S3 more than it did, for pattern of the same quality. The woman who bought a pattern and made her own spring suit had to pay S1 yard for common blue serge that she bought last year at 75 cents, or for broadcloth s1.50 "a yard for what was formerly $1.25.
 PRICES IN GENERAL SOAR.
 Nor are these things an exception. Take woolen blankets, take wooIens of any kind, take mems, ladies' and chill dren's gloves-but why more ex- amples? If you have been shopping you know the story better than the writer.
 But on one thing at least, the Washington correspondent, if he knows his business, can put you straight. Your local retailers, Ameri- can women, are not the responsible parties. It is true that the clew to higher prices leads into the local re- tailer's, but it is also true that it runs right on through and out of his back door.
 REPUBLICANS ARE RESPONSIBLE
 The really responsible parties are the members of Congress who voted for the Payne-Aldrich bill. And you might, by the way, inquire around and find out just how your member vot- ed.
 If he voted "aye," nail him. And nail him hardi For he is the villain in the piece.

HOW TARIFF HAS
 RAISED COST OF
 GOODS WOMEN USE
(By Marion F. Leland.)

(By Marion F. Leland.) Washington, July 23.-Madam, have you been to the dry goods store late ly-the dry goods store in your own town?
 Have you noticed that you must pay from 10 to 12 cents these days for the standard muslins that retailed for and g cents not so long ago?
 And do you know that ginghams that sold last year for 1-2 cents a yard now cost 8 1-2?
 These questions are addressed to the womenfolks. In fact, this arti- cle is dedicated to the women of Bridgeport. This is because the edi- tor has asked for a political letter from Washington for the sole inter est of his women readers.
 Yes, the request was somewhat un- usual. The newspaper correspondents who sit in the Press Galleries in the United States Capitol seldom if ever prepare an article for the enlightment of the women of the land. But why not? Is it not true that they do more buying than the men? And that in- creased prices pinch the women even more than the men?
 Now if you have noted that muslins and ginghams and such are higher do you know the reason? Senator Ald- rich of Rhode Island and Senator Flint of California stated on the floor of the Senate that the retailers were to blame for the upward tendency of prices. These senators were simply trying to pass the responsibility from their shoulders, where it belongs, to the shoulders of the corner store, where it does not belong. Your local re- taller is as blameless for increasing prices as you are.
 Then who is to blame? I can give you the answer. The co1ored gentle man in the woodpile is the Payne-Ald- rich tariff law. The members of Congress who voted for this measure will be explaining to your husbands before long that they voted for pro- lection. But what they really voted for was extortion.
 STOCKINGS COST MORE NOW.
 Ginghams and faces are not the only things that cost more because of the passage of the "extortion" bill. Take stockings for instance:
 A year ago a popular seller was German knit cotton stocking with a seamless foot and Louis Hermesdorf dyes. This stocking cost the mer- chant $2.25 a dozen pair and sold for 25 cents pair.
 Last year a certain American stock ing. not so we'll dyed, nor so we'll made, cost the merchant $175 dozen pair.
 Today the American stocking costs the merchant $225 a dozen and sells for 9 cents. Do you see the point?
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-07-23

The tariff has raised the price of it's German rival 10 cents pair, and it is longer on sale. The greedy American gets monopoly on stock ings. Then he immediately raises his price to the retailer. And you are now paying the same price for an in ferior article that you used to pay for a good article.
 Higher prices and cheaper qualities That is the short definition of Ald- richism.

Gee, but we have great umpires in this league. That game yesterday started at thirteen minutes of four and was not over till 20 minutes after six.

Then the trip back to the United States would be continued with the explanation to the officer at the bord- CT that the tourist had been up n the Dominion on a little vacation D The resulting inspection would be largely perfunctory.
 Inspector Walter Murphy attach ed to the Loeb forces, has been work ing on the Canad an border for some time. By his order, F. N. Partridge was recently held up at Alburg. vt, and according to detailed report worth of dutiable goods were taken from h,s trunk.
