Mushroom Millionaires. +"

Protection, says a famous
statesman, "enriches the few at
the expense of the many, the
rich at the expense of the poor
A half-century of the operation
of the protective policy in the
United States illustrates its eff
fects. OF all the factors that
have contributed to the colony of
mushroom millionaires in this
country, nothing has played such
an important part as the pro-
tective tariff, A majority of
the magnateS who live in man
Sions along Fifth avenue, and
whose sons make life a Joy for
the sensational newspapers by
marrying chorus ladies, got their
wealth through the Republican
ggiven privilege of picking the
pockets of the people through
~favoring tariff rates. The mass
eS are poorer to the extent the
magnates have been made over
rich.

Works Both Ways.

President Taft was made an
cry because Congressman Little
ton of New York spoke in con-
demnation of the Sherman law
at the same banquet board at
which he was to speak in its de-
tense. If the President had
himself protected the dignity Of
his office by refraining from
talking politics on his trip
through the West, his displeasure
at Mr.. Littleton's action might
have been in better taste. But
he had just travelled 1920
miles, been seen by nearly five
million people, and made BOO
speeches to an aggregate audi
ence of approximately 1,555,00C
people. Apparently the Pres.
ident desires that only his side OF
public questions should be heard

President was there with an ex-
cuse. He said that conditions
had substantially changed"
Whatever the President was
abiding to, it was not the Cox
machine, for it had remained as
foul as ever. The only change
visable to observers is that,
whereas six years ago Mr.. Taft
was not a candidate for office,
he is today.

Aberdeen, S. d., and is a fair
sample of what the newspapers IN
the cities visited by Mr.. Taft on
his "trip through the West pub
lished after he had left town.
Incidentally, this article in a
measure reveals the sentiment of
which prompted Mr.. Taft to
make his now famous prediction
of Republican defeat in 1912.
THE big event-Taft day at
Aberdeen-has come and gone.
Curiosity to see the President
caused thousands to come to
Aberdeen, stand in line and even
give vent to a few feeble cheers
when he spoke, but they We're
not with him at amy stage IN the
game. Poor Taft. Bighearted,
joyial and companionable, a com
moner in his bearing. Everybody
instimctively admires him for the
personal charm of his manner.
1t is too bad that such a good
man should be spoiled in trying
to make presidential timber of
him. We love him for his large
personality, but in view of what
he has done we connot vote for
him again"

"Wholehoggers

In Germany the tariff wall is
even higher than in the United

the people are crying out at the
ever-increasing cost of living.
But in Germany they have an

call them ''wholehoggers."

If the president chooses to 60
upon the stump, he must not ex-
pect that he can do all the talkin
himself. The concensus of opin-
ion is that if the dignity of the
office of President was not in
jured bby Mr.. Taft in making a
political speech while a guest at
a banquet, it was not injured by
Mr.. Littleton in stating his views
on the same subject discussed by
the President.

NO PLACE FOR FATHER
Bathroom Nook Only Place Which Family May Find Privacy

The English home with it's lack of proper
heating and also its sad lack of ventilation
and bathtubs is more a marvel to the
American woman than the American home
Is to the English woman. The latter freely
admits that the conveniences of the American
home are beyond compare, but there is one
serious defect that is always commented
This is set forth by Mary Mortimer Maxwell
IN the National Review (London). There is
no place for father. Surely there must be
some truth in this, for SO many British women
have called attention to the fact that we
have privacy in our homes, and have
pointed to the shortcomings of pretty strands
of beads serving as doors, and to the fact
that the bathroom Is the only sanctuary, the
Indianapolis News remarks. This is borne
out by observations in many cities. former
official in Indiana Is well read In history. He
also has a family. He freely admits that he
absorbed his history ly ing with pillow in the
bathtub, safe beyond the reach of the growing
children. This is just what Mary Mortimer
Maxwell is speaking about when she says:
But the member of the American family

LAST WITH A BUSINESS MAN
Had Driven Hunter to the Country
One Theory Is That He Was Shot
by Mistake After Seeking squr
reIs' Nest in the Tree.

Tulsa, Okla.-Mystery was added
to the unexplained absence of Daniel
G. Bonner, hackman of this city
when his body was found in tree
suspended by one foot and with three
bullet holes IN his face and head. The
foot was firmly wedged between
branches, where they fork, and his
head was hanging downward.
The last seen of Bonner in Tulsa
was two months ago, when man
who announced he was a capitalist
from Missouri engaged him to drive
into the country on a hunting trip.
The authorities have this mans name
and are making inquiries about him.
Bonner had no family and was Of a
rowing disposition, SO little attention
was paid to his absence. 1t attracted
only passing comment and had been
nearly forgotten when the body was
found. From the condition OF the body
it had evidently been hanging from
the tree all this time.
In the tree was the nest OF squtr>
rel. It is supposed Bonner climbed

foot caught In the forks of a limb,
hung head downward.
A careful investigation of the vi.
ctnity shows that the hunter for whom
he was driving might have been ap-
preaching this tree from any one OF
several different directions where q

can be easily understood that a hunt

ing from a limb of tree would fire.
Even If he were thinking Of his COM
panion he would not expect to see
him hanging head downward from a
tree.
Bonner had been shot twice in the
head and once In the jaw. The theory
of those who have been working on
the case Is that the Missourian when
he found he had shot his driver,
walked back to railroad station and
left the country. The man supposed
to have done the shooting Is busi-
ness man of considerable property,
who was here looking after some in
vestments.
Any robbery theory that might sug-
gest itself Is disposed of by the reia-
tive financial condition OF tho two
men. The hackman had nothing.
while the Missourian had plenty OF
money.
Bonner's team was found in posses
sion of a farmer near by. The farmer
said two men came to his place and
left the team, saying they would be
back in few hours They never came,
and the farmer has been using the
team In putting in his crop.
The authorities have not considered
arresting the Missouri man, but he
will be asked to make a statement OF
the affair. On account of his stand
ing and the absence of any ground
for suspecting the shooting to be pre-
meditated, the coroner and sheriff
have declined to give the name of the
Missourian There was no acquaint-
ance between the men prior to the
time Bonner was hired to take the
hunter out into the country.
