has served his country officially
abroad and at home, but he never
served it better than when he wrote
this open letter to the President. He
speaks now as a man to whom the
years have brought serenity along
with knowledge, both helped by
freedom from amin osity and from
an bition. Our Harvester trust has
just cut a melon of twenty million
dollars distracted from our working
farmers, in addition to generous div
idends on millions of watered stock
labstracted from the same victims.
The men who made the Payne-Al-
drich tariff undertook the familiar
and congenial task of increasing the
| riches of the rich and the poverty of
the poor Mr.. MacVeagh, in an ear
lier appeal to Mr.. Payne, ventured
to call the tax on sugar Infamous;
much good his protest did Much
chance there is that Republican lead

also led-will take double taxes on
meat and on wooden clothing from
the backs of the sweating poor.

White and the other members of the
Board Of Affairs saw that the senti-
ment of the people was against them
giving away the rights and privileges
that not only belong to this and the
rising generations but to the genera

easy about the coming city election.
We are of the opinion that the en-
tire franchise matter has been
pigeon holed until after the cleo
ton. But just as soon as the cleo
ton IS over if the people again elect
such men as John Baker White and
Bert Buster, or any other cats paws

behind closed doors with only the

AGED CAB HORSE,
JEALOUS Of TAX|S,
COMMITS SUICIDE
Oscar, Who Knew All the
Greenwich Commuters,
Jumps Into Sound.

GREENWICH, Conn. Nov. 9.-Oscar,
the one remaining cab horse of the
Greenwich Cab Company. committed
Island Sound. His act seemed deliber-
ate n was undoubtedly premeditated.
He a been suffering from an agra
waited form of horse m~elancholia for
weeks.
In his youth Oscar was a mettlesome
steed and the cabs he drew Travelled
with electrifying speed. He knew all
the old-time Greenwich commuters and
could take them home without guidance.
II the driver slept or was otherwise in
disposed. Oscar got his fare home safe
ly. II 1t was necessary to assist the fare
into his cottage n the driver still
slept, Oscar would arouse the family
by neighing. His midnight neigh, 1t is
related, was well known to quite a
number of families.
As the cab company began putting
in autos and taxis Oscar became peeVish.
When he saw his old-time fares taking
10 the horseless vehicles he began to
brood. First his left ear dropped and
then his right ear came down. For the
asst year he had never smiled. He lost
his appetite for oats and spurned hay.
He grew very thin. Peevishness in
creased upon him and whenever he got
an opportunity to bite an automobile he
did so. Sometime age he was suspected
OF eating a taximeter.
Yesterday Oscar was compelled TO
haul trunks. That was the last straw
In the silence OF his stall last night he
undoubtedly planned his end. Wher
he was led out to a trough to drink he
broke from the stableman. leaped over
a fence and galloped to the edge of q
precipice that has a sheer drop Of
seventy-fve feet to the Sound.
The heart-broken old nag turned hi
head only once. uttered a wistful neigi
and plunged down the embankment
His neck was broken by the fall and h,
I died instantly. He. Will have a deeen
burial. and many Ar his old fares ar,
