motive. for the victims pockets were
turned inside out. and nothing but
handkerchief was left.
The murdered man was well dress
ed, and the police guessed he might
have been an actor. He was clean
shaven.
There was no sign of struggle and
no wound except that in the chest,
which at first looked like knife
thrust. Later the county physician de-
cided il was a bullet hole. The bullet
must have been heavy one.
There was absolutely nothing in the
pockets except one white handker-
chief. Iris had not been used. II had
been shaken out OF its folds when
taken up. but apparently had not
again been used.

TARIFF REVISION.

Having felt the pulse of the repub-
lican central west on those makeshift
tariff revision bills for politics only
and discovered that indications OF
opinion are some three to one in favor
OF waiting for the tariff commission
report at the next regular session, the
Chicago Tribune commercially falls
in line.
The case is so clear logically for the
Presidents position that it is hard to
see why any one should wait. before
indorsing it. to see which way the cat
Of public sentiment is going to jump.
Everybody knows that the repub-
licanism of the central west strongly
favors a tariff commission.
If that means anything worth men
tioning, it surely means that the re-
publicanism OF the central west wants
these schedules revised on the tariff
commission plan, now that at last
We have such commission and it is
nearly ready with its report.
To clinch the case IT is known that
President Taft wants these schedules
revised promptly. calls the most OBJ
noxious of them 'indefensible," and
only contends that since we have n
tariff commission we ought to take
advantage Of its nearly completed
work

THE PRICE OF COAL.


There is a coal dealer i'm Buffalo who
is franker than most. interviewed by
the Buffalo News the other day about
the price of coal he said: II have
no more to do with it than the man in
the moon. The list of prices is sent
here from Philadelphia and I-have to
follow 1t. l have nothing to do with
fixing the prices"
That the coal business is different
from most other retail lines i'm that
prices are fixed for the retailers in
stead of by them has been generally
curious coincidence that coal of a given
grade costs the same no matter what
dealer you buy IL from must have i'm

munlty might combine to fix prices.
but that wouldn't account for the fact
that coal I'm all other nearby com
munities costs exactly the same except
as freight rates makes difference.
That might lead To the inference that
there is a state wide combination Of
retailers were IL not for the fact that
the situation is the same across state
boundaries.
So fixed is this situation that IL has
become commonplace. Coal goes up.

mon interests of the many receive no
consideration whatever.
What, is to be done about it? Not
much, perhaps. Perhaps n great deal.
For one thing, i'm such circumstances,
il seems rather ridiculous to keep TIA
riff duties on coal, when that means
simply adding so much to the profits
of monopoly. For another, il seems
not only absurd but wicked to let what
remaining supplies of coal the people
own slip into the hands of private in
terests. That is what Pinchot and
Garfield and Roosevelt have been talk
ing about when they opposed letting
Morgan and the Guggenheims acquire
for a song the rich coal deposits of
Alaska
But If the people have the courage
