[Gate City Leased Wire Service.]
BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 9.-That
President Tafts attitude toward
tariff reform and his veto of tariff
bills passed by the last congress In
dicated he had listened to the wrong
advisers" was the assertion of Gov.
Judson Harmon of Ohio, before a
gathering of the democratic clubs here
tonight.
"The presidents reasons for veto
ing the tariff bills passed by the last
congress suggest that they may have
been adopted offspring like the Bal
linger Defense" said Harmon.
Continuing his attack. Harmon
said the presidents attitude was
merely that those who by trickery in
! tariff making had secured license
to impose exorbitant prices on the
! American people might continue in
spite of both houses of congress until
! five men, not even experts, and who
j are not responsible to the people,
shall advise the president how much
these favored taxes should be re
duced and how.
! "All the men, women and children
in the land must continue to suffer al
admitted wrong rather than run the
: risk OF causing too much shrinkage IL
: excessive profits made so by law,
said Harmon.
.'If the present tariff had beel
: made without the proper knowledg'
: and skill it could well be said tha
an 'unscientific' remedy is goo
enough for an 'unscientific' wrong
"The president needed no tarif
commission when he promised ger
eral reduction before his election, no
when he called the special session t
keep the promise, nor when he lgr
ed the bill that broke the promise
nor when he confessed that the WOO
en- and cotton goods duties were to
high, nor when he made the agree

mon.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va, Sept. 9.-Three solemn-bearded
Chesterfield farmers tonight kept
silent watch about the cell of Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., wife murderer, to
guard against the grim specter OF
suicide.
A subtle fear aroused in the minds
of the county officers prompted the
posting of extra guards about the
brick jail. Commonwealth Attorney
Gregory this afternoon received a
mysterious warning tina. the prisoner
held for the electric chair was con-

authorities were warned that the

But nothing in the calm, Indifferent
attitude of the stoical prisoner sup

shadow of death, he sat in his cell
without the slightest show of emotion.

LEGISLATIVE ACT
 MAKES STATE RICHER

The legislative act which ere ated the Arkansas Education Commission is making the state richer in property every day. The private high schools of the state are turning their property over to the state in order to come within the provisions of the act, which specifics that all institu- tions which receive state aid. must be public schools. This Board will meet in the office Supt. Of Public Instruction George B. Cook next Monday, receive the commissions from Gov. Donaghey and take up the work of apportioning the $50, ,OO0 set aside for aid to county high schools, among the schools of the state. This is to be given out, $4O0 for high schools with two year course, $500 for three year course, and $500 for four years. The high schools which have a normal course in connection will receive 5000 per annum.
 In speaking of the apportion. ment, Supt. Cook states that the $50,000 will not be felt by the schools of the state, even though it is taken from the common school fund of the state. He says that the school districts all over the state have annually, since the county examiners began to file itemized reports, shown sur plus in the treasury at the end of the year. The amount each dis. trict will be called upon to con- tribute toward the $50,000 will be but few dollars, running from S3 to S15, and in considera. tion for this sum, the district will be entitled to free schooling in the county high school for all it's district graduates. Under the old law the pupils had to pay $1 90 per month each to take ad- vantage of the high schools if they lived out of the district.
