mary process at indianapolis last
Saturday night and spirited out Of
the State, on charge Of beng i'm
pllcated IN dynamltlng the lOs An
Reles CAL Times last October,
when The Times printing plant
was destroyed and Il number of
persons killed His arrest was
made on the strength Of n confess
sion made by Ortie McManigal who
with brother of Secretary Me
Namara had previously been ar
rested, forced from him by detcc-
tIves through II sweating process,
IN this confession he implicated
Secretary Mcnamara, brother of

IN the innocense Of Secretary Me

him the slightest chance to give
prlma facia evidence OF innocence (,

The whole matter to the interests

labor movement, " by striking at
the men who have the confidence

ner of Mcnamara arrest and tax

brings to mind the similar process

kidnapped from that State without

Montana for trial on like charges;
and this latter case promises 10

H. madam reciprocity, The
House Of Representatives
this week took up the next number
90 tie Democratic Legislative pro-
gram for the extra session, wl 'h
ha- been termed the farmer ire"
IjH measure. This bill purpose
placing on the free list a number
Of articles which, il it goo-
through, viii materially lessen the
cost Of these articles not 10 farmers
only but to large class Of other
CONSUMERS. II will give 10 the
Southern farmers free cotton bag
gIug aud ties a. well as farm I'M
pIcmeHts 10 the Northern farmers
free agricultural implements aud
cattle products; to the farmers Of
all sections free wire fencing and
free salt; and 10 all consumers,
whether on farm or in town, free
boots and shoes, aud lift the duty
from food and other articles Of
similar importance to the number
Of about one hundred With the
tariff taken off these articles the
, cost Of living will be materially
lesscned among all classes. The
government receives only about
so, OOO, 600 in custom duties or
tariff tax from the articles en-
braced in this bill, while the spe-
cIal or tariff protected interests ex-
act tribute Of the people to many
times that amount. OF the So
900, 600 revenue that the farmers
free list" will cut off from the gov
eminent, Mr.. Underwood, Chair
man of the Ways and Means Com.
mittee, says - O0O, 600 il compen-
stated for in the reciprocity bill,
and that they can see now where
more than the other - 600, 600 can
be suved through economiziug in
government departments, which
work is to be taken up at once by
the Committee on Expenditures.
This measure will BE- fought stub
bornly by Republican protection.
lists for protection sake and the
special interests. and the debate in
the House may consume two or
three weeks, but II will eventually
pass that body. The bill, however
will meet with stronger opposition in
the Senate with its Republican
majority aud few special interest
Democrats of the Baily stripe and
! likely be defeated. But the pe0-
Pile are beginning to see more
clearly how they are squeezed by
the tariff protected class, and that
there is neither justice nor wisdom
in policy which allows the gov
eminent or anybody else to put
hands into their pockets aud take
their money to build mp the private
business of somebody else, whether
it be big capitalized corporation
or an individual, and they are
growing more restless under the
burdens thus imposed upon them
The Canadian reciprocity pact
was put through the House last
Friday by a vote of PCS to 50.
There were ~ Republican and 10
Democratic votes cast against it.
All the Missouri Congressman, in
GLIDING the three Republicans,
voted for reciprocity. It is now up
to the Senate. An effort will be
made by the reac;ionaries and spe-
cial interests to defeat it in that
body, and the fight over the mea.
sure will be protracted, but it will
probably pull through by a slim
margin.

Landing on WarshIp.

The next step which the United
States navy Will take in its study of
nirships to determine their practical
value for war will be to test the pos
sibility of an aerial craft landing on a
warship.
This was indicated by naval officials
who are convinced as a result Of Ely's

the airship would play an important
part in the naval warfare Of the fu-
ture. Oficers of the navy generally

The question of landing an airship
Some experts believe net could be
stretched to receive the airship and

be necessary to equip the machines
with pontoons that they may descend
in the water beside the vessel.
