SfRAijCEK THAN FICTION.
The story Of I've Shields of Seattle
reads like one Of the rare tales of Sir
Gilbert Parker.
Shields, q bachelor Of sixty -one, had
. good Job as janitor of big build

was out Of Job and had wife and
several little children to support
Now comes the part that reads like
fiction.
I've Shields gave up his job to his
friend, whose children were crying for
bread, and went back to the woods,
where he had once been employed as
; q logger.
He had hard time Of 1t.
Work was irregular. and often I've
Shields slept on the ground and had
TO tighten his belt to stay his stomach.
But the picture in his mind of his
friend gathering his little ones about
him In comfort and happiness gave him
great satisfaction.
One day I've Shields got enough mon
ey to make a visit to Seattle. He was
90 happy to see his old friends that he
got drunk.
And when he awoke he was In Jail
charged with forging q check for

this check, but 1t was In his handwrit-

The grizzled old logger was arraign-

What?

They had learned how the old hero

PRESIDENT TAFT
 SPEAKS ON TARIFF Ends Two Days Tour of Iowa at Ottumwa EXPLAINS HIS VIEWS The President Denounces Schedule K and the Cotton Bills-Wishes
 to Explain in Person
 Several Acts

Ottumwa, Iowa, September 29.-Presi- dent Taft ended his two days tour of Iowa here tonight as he had begun It; that Is, with a speech on the tariff issue. To an audience which filled large cir GUS tent and gave him the closest at tention, the President, in conversational tone, and in an informal manner, stated anew the position he had taken with ref erence to the tariff bills he vetoed.
 MT. Taft made no bid for applause, no attempt at oratory,. but he took the audience into his confidence and stated his case with scarcely a. pause.
 The crowd was not demonstrative one It cheered the President when he begar and again when he concluded. There wal occasional hand clapping in between times of the spontaneous nature. This was particularly noticeable when MT. Taft said: T am no free trader; I am . pro- tectionist, pledged to the policy of a pro- tective tariff, based on the difference ill the cost of production in this country and the cost of production abroad"
 The President was again appauded when he declared he would recommend
 
 schedules just as soon as the tariff board reports on those schedules in December.
 Mir. Taft denounced the present wool schedule K as indefensibly high, but added the woolen bill which he vetoed was drawn without regard to the effect it would have on the industry in New Mexico or elsewhere, and was drawn up without adequate information, being largely the work of a single senator.
 The President said he felt the country could well afford to wait two or three months longer and get a. bill based on scientific data and complete information
 The farmers free list bill he said, was intended as a compensation to the farmer for whatever injury he might suffer from Canadian reciprocity. He asserted that reciprocity would not have hurt the farmer in any degree, but its defeat in Canada ended it..
 Mir. Taft denounced the cotton bill, which included revisions of the steel and chemical schedules as A ''piece of hodge podge" He said no one ever intended it should become a law.
 The detailed explanations given of the various bills were listened to with the greatest of concentrated interest. The President apologized several times for the dryness of his discussion, but he held his audience to the very end of his talk. His remarks were prefaced by little explanation of the trip he is now talk ing. He said he did not believe Pres ident of the United States had a right to make partisan speeches or to attack any one He declared he was taking advan- tsge of an opportunity to get in touch with the people to explain in person sev- eral of tine acts of his administration and to render an accounting of his steward slip.

SUMMARY OF DAYS EVENTS

London, September 29.-Affairs de- veloped today with extraordinary ra- pidity. A state of war exists between Italy and Turkey and hostilities have started.
 No sooner had the time limit fixed in the utimatumy expired than ignoring Turkeys conciliatory request for d period of delay Italy declared war.
 The Turkish representatives in Italy were handed their passports. The Turkish commander at Tripoli was asked to surrender the town, but de- clined. and the Italian forces immedi- ately occupied Tripoli and Benghazi.
 Apparently the Turks offered no re- sistance, but this is only an assump- ton, as immediately upon landing the Italians evidently seized the telegraph lines.
 From the hour of their landing no message of any kind has been received from Tripoli and dispatches sent to that place remain unan,-s'r"e
 I should jc nu. <. -.oweNer that Constantinople dispatches announcing Italian occupation ofTripoi. make no mention Of resistance and Il mere pro- test by the governor would be in line

ANNIE CRAWFORD ID HAVE EARLY TRIAL The Accused Has Made No Preparations for De-
 fense as Yet

New Orleans, September 23.-Annie Crawford will get an early trial on the charge that she murdered her younger sister, Elise, last Saturday by admins tering poison, according to statement made by District Attorney Adams here today. The accused is yet without legal advice, however as the case has not been apportioned to any particular court and until this is done no counsel can be named. She will be tried within % days Much comment has resulted from the fact that no coroner's investigation, as is usual, was made in this case, all inves- tigation of probable witnesses, the ac- cused and her relatives being conducted personally by the district attorney, work ing with detectives of the local police department It is thought by many that the district atorney's case was weak ened by the fact that he did not warn the accused that any statements she might make might be used against her.
 The district attorney, however, says that this Is not necessary in this state, the supreme court having so ruled. Miss Crawford has said that no coercion was used to get her to confess, or thai any harsh methods were used by the of ficials.
 Miss Crawford's heart has softened toward the newspaper reporters and in- stead of refusing absolutely to see or speak with them today relented and posed for several newspaper photo- graphers and talked freely with the writers, reiterating her statements she previously made to the district at torney. She wanted to sit for her pie ture without her hat, asking the camera man to wait minute until she could curl her bangs with her fingers. Find ing that her bangs would not curl read fly she delayed matters until she could adjust her large black hat.

Augusta, Ga, September 29.-At the gen eral managers office of the Georgia and Florida railroad here, whose firemen are on strike it was stated tonight that half .of their trains probably would be 'per- ated Saturday and by the first of next week all schedules would be in opera tion.
 Only a special train carrying General Manager Turner from Valdosta, Ga, 10 Madison, Fla, has been run on the line since Thursday morning.
 The striking firemen demand the re- instatement of three of their number al- legged to have been discharged because they desired to visit the general officers of the road with a labor representative to discuss their alleged grievances. They also demand better working conditions and higher wages, claiming that they get 30 cents an hour less than firemen on other roads and work F to 15 hours per day. f-5a 4-ts..

Senator Bourne as a Prophst.

Senator Bourne Of Oregon takes
what spectators would call a long
chance in predicting that Senator La
Follette's will be the only name sub
mitted to the republican national con-
vention for the presidential nomina-
ton next year. Even the bitterest re-
sentiment and hostility to Taft does not
call for such a rash prediction. The
senator could have helped his repu-
tation as a great seer more in other
ways. He probably felt, however, that
that reputation had not a great deal
to lose and he might as we'll take this
desperate chance, since he had all to
gain.
In 1896 Mr.. Bourne was just as sure
that William Jennings Bryan would
be elected president as he Is today that
Senator La Toilette will be the unan-
imous choice of the republican party
in its next national convention. In
1908 he was equally as certain that
Theodore Roosevelt would be renom-
mated by the republicans for sec
ond elective term" in spite OF all Mr..
Rooseyelt's protestations that he
would not allow the use OF his name.
One thing must be conceded to SEN
ator Jonathan Bourne OF oregon--he
has been a consistent prophet Of t&tngs
that did not happen. He predicted the
speedy advent OF the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at the sacred
ratio OF 16 to l in 1895 and excoriated
the people who were responsible for
the "crime of 1879" just as in 1908
he declared Taft could not be nomi-
mated, nor elected II named. 1t really
seems a wonder when one comes TO
think It over that Senator Bourne

What About the oocupation Taxi

When the occupation taxes were
first imposed promising an additional
revenue to the city of $125,OO0 a
year, the people were led to believe
that this would to that extent relieve
the tax burdens. But here is the city
council certifying a tax levy to pro-
duce the maximum amounts for each
fund which the charter permits. What,
then, is to be done with the occupation
tax proceeds? Assuming that the same
practice is pursued of using it to fill
out the shortage of tax collections for
the current year, with these collections
averaging, as they have been doing,
95 per cent, not more than $4,000
out of the $125.00O can be absorbed
In this way. The remainder available
for the sinking fund, could at least
reduce the sinking fund levy. II the
occupation tax is to be of any direct
benefit to the taxpayers, it should
show in a reduced city tax rate.

The Conventions.

II trsnspires that those who ex-
pected turmoil in the political conven-
tions held at Lincoln and Fremont to
promulgate the platforms on which the
campaign is to be waged in Nebraska
this year, are all disappointed.
The forces OF party cohesion are
stronger than the forces of a party
disruption
Despite the pretense of the demo
Gratis than non-partisanship or bi-parti-
sanship in any branch of the state
government is at issue, the fact is
generally recognized that this off-year
contest is a preliminary skirmish in
the great battle of 1912, and that no
matter which side may gain the ad-
vantage, the success Of one ticket or
another in the coming election is really
most desired for the encouragement
1t will give to the rank and file en-
listed for the greater political conflict.
II the democrats should win in Ne
braska this year, their professions of
non-partisanship would be at once cast
to the winds, and the victory shouted
as marking a democratic advance on
the White House. II, on the other
hand, the republicans win in Nebraska
this year, It will be taken to mean that
Nebraska is in a fair way to be re-
stored to its proper place in the re-
publican column in the electoral col
lege. If the outcome is only partial
victory, the significance will be that
Nebraska is a battle-ground for 1912,
on which the opposing forces will
meet with balanced chances on the
outcome.

COLONEL B2YANs QUIZ.

St Louis Globe Democrat: MIR. Bryan
has printed long list OF questions TO be
asked democratic candidates for president
Mr. Bryan seems bent on getting some fun
out OF Il.
81. Louis Republic. we don't know any
living man, in the democratic party or out
Of IL, whose opinion upon each and all
these matters has value. This country has
rubbed along for 124 years with presidents
who knew in part and prophesled in part.
No Solomon the Wise IL likely to arise
now-and even the original one had mighty
unsound views on family matters and anti
race suicide.
New York World: Mr.. Bryan might have
saved himself the trouble OF making a list
OF available democratic candidates. He
need not have eliminated Harmon. His
list Of questions Is a great eliminator. II
contains, exposed or yelled. all the Bryan
vagaries, II candidate answers no, he Is
damned as an anti-Bryanite; II he answers
yes, he is damned as a Bryanite. He is
not a candidate for the presidency, but for
the political lunatic asylum.
Minneapolis Journal: Mr. Bryan has a
right to ask any man what his views are
regarding the principles of the party to
which he belongs, when that individual
asks Colonel Bryan for his help TO secure
a nomination. He has the right, as an edi-
tor to PROFOUND questions But the i'm
preston given by Mr.. Bryan is that II his
questions are not satisfactorily answered
he will veto the candidates aspirations.
This is a trifle too much in a free country.
