Free Trade the Panacea.

Free trade would reduce poverty, and
proverty's issue-crime. Free trade would
introduce more normal and more stable
conditions in our business life, preventing
the present oscillations between dollhouse
prosperity and trade stagnation. Although
free trade, with the reasonable tax laws
which. it would bring as a sequence.
would make it impossible for any man
to acquire hundreds of millions in the
period of single life, it would none the
less yield ample reward to the captains
of industry, with the added consciousness
that their possessions were made far
safer against the inroads of society, and
that they had not been obtained by the
legalized plumber Of their fellow-men.
Free trade would tend more to introduce
peace and good will In the world than
a hundred Hague conferences or a thou
sand peace temples.
"A revenue-tarff means repeated agtta-
ton and change incident to the ups and
downs of party control. Free trade means
a settlement once and for all of this
most persistent and most troublesome is
sue of American politics..

lice faced what they said was another
In the long series Of black hand MUIR
ders.
The boy now declares he killed his
father because the elder Vacek ordered
him TO kill his mother. The police have
secured other admissions which tend
20 the belief that IL was fear of punish
ment for falling TO work and bring
home his earnings, that inspired the
crime. The boys confession shows that
tho murder was deliberate He had
planned il carefully.
Shot Father in Head.
Yesterday when the father rose the
boy shot him through the head Then

conceived, the child-murderer threw
the body on the bed and pinned an
imitation black hand letter 10 the

tractor. The note read:
