Strange that the little prayer book Of
Edna Cudahy, the ~10-year-old daughter of
Jack Cudahy, should fall open, showing
that the marker Of the book had been
placed between the page upon whioh the
foregoing words were printed. 1t was a
coincidence, OF course, hat such should be
the case the day following that upon which
her father inflicted many wounds upon the
body of Jere S. Llllls.
The prayer book was found, says the
Kansas City Star, in Mr.. Cudahy's big
WEIGH limousine, which had been standing
in front Of a vacant lot at s219 Garner
avenue since some time between midnight
Saturday night and daybreak Sunday. Who
left the car there is not known. 1t was
there Sunday morning and 1t still was
there at noon Monday Inquiries in the
block this morning revealed only one per
son who has any idea Of the hour Of night
that the machine was abandoned This
was Donald Young OF S9is Garner avenue.
He said 1t must ave been about 3 O'Clock
Sunday morning when he heard the motor
car turn into the street and come to a
stop with much noise. Mr.. Young did not
look out the window and does not know
how many persons there were in the car.
Besides the prayer book the only Other
objects in the car were a mans white
muffler and a woman's handbag, which
contained no money. A book on camping
in Alaska was found in the tool box. The
little clock in the car had stopped at 1l:9s
O'Clock. The glass in the tail light of the
machine was broken and the windows OF
the car were open. The monogram, J. p. c..
was on either side OF the car body.

RooseveIt's Inconsistency.

The ordinary corporation has special
advantages from the law, p%erpetuity
of existence, limited liability, the con-
centration of small amounts of capital
into corporate capital that may be i'm
mense, and 1t has the help Of q form
of negotiable credit that a private per-
son cannot command. These advan-
tages impose responsibility, and the
law properly undertakes to apply that
responsibility. But what do all these
advantages amount to compared with
those the tariff grants in the restric-
ton Of foreign competition. In the
compulsory home market at advanced
prices? And what are the dangers
from the ordinary corporations COM
pared with those who are invited to
establish and aided in maintaining mo-
nopolistic combinations by the law
that shuts out foreign rivals? Against
the former Mr.. Roosevelt has much to
say and says it with extreme bitter
ness. Against the latter he is tongue
tied and his convention goes to the
limit in defense and in praise. OF
course in politics mere Inconsistency
does not always count, but in this case
it would be interesting If the voters,
stirred by Mr.. Roosevelt's attacks on
privilege, should strike at the worst
example Of privilege, and strike all
the harder because Mr.. Roosevelt him
self is it's champion.

Uncle Sam Has New Ward in Liberia

Colonization society, of which Henry
Clay was president. There is a less
known chapter of that perilous enter
prise which attributes the martyrdom
of a life in this effort to open a new
world to the slaves to Rev. Samuel
Bacon, an American minister Of the
Episcopal church.
BY act of congress, on March 3,
1919, the president was empowered to
create an agency in Africa for the
purpose of providing an asylum for
such Africans as should be liberated
by our ships of war from vessels
seized for violation of the law sup
pressing the traffic in slaves.
The government decided to send out
the ship OF war Cyane and the trans
port Elizabeth with mechanics and Ia
borers under two agents for the pur.
pose of breaking ground for the re-
ception of liberated slaves. On Janu.
airy 8. 1920, having previously been in
the service of the colonization society,
Bacon received from President Mon
o the commission making him the
head of the proposed expedition.
A species of African fever appeared
among the members of the little band
of settlers. Soon 25 of the party were
brought down with it. Breaking un-
der the labors he had assumed Bacon
presently discovered symptoms of the
malady in himself. The remedies
administered were of no avail and he
died.
Bankson and others of the party
survived. The founding of the colony
went forward. But on the sacrifice Of
life Liberia was built.

1XT ASHINGTON.-An obscure chap
w ter, 1t has long lain unread in
American annals, in spite of the in
terest that surrounds 1t. But now
that the United States has come to
take an active hand in the govern
ment of Liberia, it is natural that the
founding of that old half-American,
half Afr~ican-negro state should attract
our interest. Founded back in 1920
as a home for the freed slaves from
this country, Liberia became a repub-
lic in 1S47. Today its population num-
bers some 60, 900 Liberians along the
coast, while 1000, 900 negroes run wild
in the interior. No white man can &C
Quire citizenship or own property.
BY an arrangement with bankers in
this country, France and Germany and
with the approval of Liberia and the
European powers, a loan of $4,000 600
is to be floated by our government to
the end of setting straight Liberian
finances and assisting the country to
establish itself upon a firmer basis.
The United States will have control
of the little states financial, military
and agricultural departments and will
administer the republics relations.

How the Trusts, Under Republican
MtsruIe, Rob the American
Consumer.

In a special dispatch from New
Haven. Senator Buckley is said to
have made the statement that every
promise made on the platform on
which Taft ran has been redeemed"
One of the promises made in that plat
form was that the Republican party
would revise the tariff to conform to
the difference Of the cost Of preduc-
ton here and abroad. plus a reason
able profit to the home manufacturer.
Did they do it? Not by a large ma
jority Every one conversant with
existing. knew instinctively the mean
ing of that promise must be that the
cotton and wooden schedules Of the
Dingley tariff bill must be reduced.
No other outcome could be imagined
or thought of. The statements made
by various important politicians
through the country since the present
bill became a law, that the Republic
al party had not promised to reduce
the tariff, sounded to those who knew

sense or the densest ignorance.
To give you a more explicit idea
of my meaning, I will give you an ex-
%perience l had in the summer Of 1909.
Going to England In the month Of
July l took with me various samples
Of lightweight, spring worsteds for
mems wear, made by American manu-
facturers, and had them examined
and valued against English produc-
tons Of the same character. and this
was done by one of the cleverest ex-
perts in Bradford, England. The first
sample he compared with a cloth
made and sold by an American wool
en- company at $1.14 per yard net.
The English goods of the same weight
and character, and quite as good
material, cost in Bradford "a cents,
and the most astonishing fact Of all
was, that these goods could not be
imported and sold at the price at
which the American wooden company
sold their goods. These and other
similar samples I shall be glad to
show to any one who is interested in
the matter.
Does the honorable senator meal
that the American manufacturer Is
entitled to have ga cents per yard pro-
lection on a fabric costing abroad "a
cents? Does he claim the promise of
the Republican platform was carried
out In this and numberless other in
stances of the same kind? The most
statement is, that he has been, as Mr..
Taft was, badly advised.-Letter in

RooseveIt's Position.

Mr.. Roosevelt is a very late convert
TO the belief that the tariff is a moral
issue or any issue at all. He was as
silent as the grave about the tarih
during all the years when, with his
great influence and authority, he
might have done much to take the
crookedness out of the customs sched-
ules: when he might have done more
than any other nan to destroy the
vast and complicated mechanism by
which the protected trusts extort
money from the people. Such a cru
SADIE. It is true, might have destroy
ed him politically. Choosing the cor
porations as the objects OF his as
asults, he has prospered nightly. But
he more prosperous he is in that
sense, the more will the immense IN
vesting class and all the people, all
consumers, feel the pinch OF the high
cost of living and reduced incomes.
Mr.. Mckinley was called the advance
agent Of prosperity. By his choice OF
the policies and the methods that kept
him to the fore politically, Mr.. Roose'
Welt has made himself the chief agent
of the other thing.

Roosevelt and the South.

IF the nomination of Colonel Roose-
welt by the Republicans depends upon
his ability to carry a single southern
state, the members of that party op-
posed to Mr.. Roosevelt need have no
fear Of his nomination." said George
L. Martin Of Atlanta at the Raleigh

years has been a member of the North

city he recently removed.
Il was in Atlanta the day Colonel
Roosevelt made hts recent speech"
continued Mr.. Martin, land the man
certainly'was given a most remarkable
ovation. It rained, but che crowd that
turned out to hear him was very
large. But while many people of the
south are taken with the personal
magnetism Of the man and like to
hear him speak, It is quite a different
proposition to consider him as their
candidate. OF all who heard him and
who assisted in making his appearance

believe that not q man except those
who ordinarily vote the Republican
ticket would support him, and it is
doubtful even If he would get the to-

AGAINST THE WEAK
REPUBLICAN PARTY's FAvoRS
ARE FOR THE STRONG.
Those Who Can Afford to Pay for
Protection" Are the BeneficIaries
Of the Organization Today
Its ideals Abandoned.

Whom is the Republican party, with
its high tariff policy. protecting to-
day-whom has it been protecting for
a quarter of a century? Not the
weak but the strong, not those who
needed protection, but those who could
afford to pay for 1t and who did pay
for 1t. The party has long been sell
Ing what it called protection-but
which was really privilege-the pro-
lection of giant industries that were
able to contribute and did contribute
to party campaign funds. Steel trusts
and cotton trusts and WOOL trusts and
oil trusts-these came to be the OBJ
jects of the party's persistent loving
care.
And now we come to the era of the
so-called strong men," for whom the
earth is supposed to exist. The weak
may go hang. Campaigns are, as one
Of the eve leaders once said. mere
ly questions "of finance" The devel-
opment has been slow, but, looking
back over the past, we can see how
great the change in spirit has been.
BY abandoning the negro, and by Of
fering the bait of protectionism, both
Mr.. Taft and his predecessor have
e~ndeavored to capture the south. Po-
litical strength rather than political
righteousness has been sought for.
And 1t has been sought for in exceed
ingly practical ways. The older
statesmen. faulty as they were, would
have wrecked prosperity rather than
have abandoned a principle in which
they believed. Today prosperity is
the be-all and the end-all Of politics.
The Insurgent protest is in reality
a protest against the gross material
ism which has so long ruled the party.
It is also a confession Of party sins.
The only i!ealism in Republican poll
tics Is now found among the 1nsur-
gents. Whether they can %inoculate
the organization with it is the ques-
ton. But 1t is sad to think that a
great political organization which. in
it's beginning, had no thought of pro-
lection as a permanent policy. had
indeed hardly any thought of it at all,
should, today stand before the coun-
try as the purveyor of protection to
men who do not need it and who
ought not to have 1t, that it should
have come to regard idealism-which
was once it's very life breath-almost
as a disease.-Indianapolis News.

All that he got out of that contest
vas a little military glory and a wife.
He married a very beautiful daughter
of a professor in the University OF
Athens and returned to America in

the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war.
He was able to speak several Ian
guages f1uently, and especially Span.
ish. There was a great demand for
news from Cuba, and the genius OF
Nelken led him to make translations
from Spanish and Cuoan newspapers,
for which he found ready market with
the Washington correspondents. His
success prompted him to fake" wherN
his news sources became exhausted.
Not long ago the captain turned up
in Constantinople and became involved
in some trouble there which prompted
him to demand the protection Of the
