MRS. HIRscH PASSES AWAY.

AT 4:10 last evening, Mrs. Henry
Hirsch. sister of George Tcis, and
Mrs. William Schumacher, died at
Ochsner hospital after an illness OF
about four weeks. The cause OF death
was heart trouble and othet compli-
cations.
Mrs. Hirsch had been ailing for some
months and about month ago grew
so much worse that the family thought
1t best for her to enter the hospital
She improved somewhat. and was
thought to be out of danger but took
a relapse and failed rapidly, the end
coming yesterday afternoon. She was
38 years Of age.
Beside her husband, three small
boys, between the ages of four and
eight, are left to miss their mother.
Three brothers. one in Ely, New, one
in Chicago, and our citizen, George
Teis. and sister, Mrs. Schumacher, are
left to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Hirsch was devoted wife and
mother, and her death Is severe blow
to her family, and sad loss to her
friends in this city. 1t seems par
ticularly hard when small children are
left motherles, for no one can quite
take that mothers place. Friends ex-
tend their sympathy to the bereaved.
and commend the sorrowing to the
care Of the loving Father-Mother God
who comforts US In all our Affections.
and wipes away all tears from our
eyes.
The funeral will leave the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Schumacher.
1450 West Third avenue, tomorrow
morning shortly before 8 o'clock, and
services will be held at st. Columba's
church at 9 q. m. Interment In Green

Record of Popular Official Emphatical-
ly Endorsed by Voters.

Porter M. Allison was reelected
County Superintendent of Public
Schools of Bates county for term oi
four years, at the school election,
held Tuesday, by majority which is
estimated at between 500 and GOO.
A very small vote was polled in the
county because Of a heavy rain last
ing almost throughout the entire day.
On the eve of the election at at
tempt was made to get out the Re-
publican vote by letters, sent out by
C. r. Biggs, Republican candidate for
this office, informing the voters that
heretofore Superintendent of Public
Schools had been elected by only
about a % vote and that a full Re.
publican vote would mean a Republi-
can victory. Fortunately some of
these letters fell into the hands of
Democrats who Immediately got busy
and saved the day.
The official vote upon only about
fifty per cent of the school districts is
in at the time we 60 to press and it
is impossible to give complete tab
ulation of the vote.

With the Republicans reciprocity
was to have been the beginning and
end of tariff reform. With the Demo.
Gratis it is but a beginning.
Mark this difference:
Reciprocity under a Republican
house meant the Mccall bill with the
1876 pei cent Payne-Aldrich duty on
woolen blankets, the 116 per cent
Payne-Aldrich tax on wooden under
wear, and many other similar out
RACES, remaining intact.
/, Reciprocity under a Democratic
house will mean the Mccall bill with
only its good features remaining in
force, and with its most Objectionable
features made null and void by the
passage Of separate bills reducing the
tax on the woolens and placing lum-
Der and other necessaries of life on
the free list. These separate bills
refer not only to imports from Canada
but to the imports of all nations of the
earth.

That President Taft should create
soft berths on the National Monetary
commission for Senrtors Aldrich,
Hale, Burrows, Money, Flint and
Taliaferro, when the members of the
finance committee could perform the
work for nothing, is not nearly so
serious as to have them remain about
the Senate. Consciously or uncon-
sciously they are bound to lobby for
the viewpoints from which they look
at things viewpoints which the peo-
pie voted down last November. 1t
was the voters intention to return
these men to private life, not award
them a private graft.
"A Change Suggested.
The Democrats may decide to add a
clause to the reciprocity agreement
authorizing the President by execu-
tive act to reduce the tariff duties Of
this country, on any item, whether
included in the Canadian agreement
or not whenever Canada is willing to
put them on her freelist. This would
not interfere with the pending pact,
