hauling Argentine meat into our
market with the price of our home
raised meat?
If our national prosperity must
salute with Bonded knee to our
high protective wall, and not to the
increased production of the worlds
gold, then why tear holes in the
wall? Why kill this dear hen that
layeth the golden egg?
If the farmer must take the level
of the worlds market as his crl-
terion by which to unload his crops
as he has done with the surplus;
and if this wall puncturing PROPOSE
ton is the proper thing, let's tear it
all down If a little does good, no
doubt more would do better. It's
queer gander that can't eat the diet
of his goose.
When the wall is too low to both
er much, we can unload our pro-
duCe to the foreigner at the worlds
figure and reload there with mer-
chandise at the worlds figure. If
we must sell cheap, let us buy
cheap, that the ever-important dol
lar may still do its duty.
Was it ever contradicted that the
wall has made our factories rich?
Have they not held prices for above
that for which we could have i'm
ported its equivalent? Has not this
wall fostered trusts to such an ex-
tent that the howl of high cost of
living" has deadened the echo of
the full dinner pail?"
The farmer. being by far the least
of all benefited in this wonderful
wall business is the innocent, small
school boy scourged as a menacing
example to the big. guilty boy of
whom the teacher is afraid. When
the duty was removed from hides
did not the first farmer in with his
load of fat steers feel the edge of
the knife as it took its first slice of
tariff? Did that same farmer ex-
perience the same sensation when
he went home to buy a new pair
of shoes made by the protected
manufacturer from his unprotected
hides? He certainly did-felt that
electrical touch twice this time -
get it going and coming but that's
all right; he's not a manufacturer;
he's just the unorganized farmer.
When you consider that our pro-
tected manufacturing princes, to
dispose of their surplus, must HE
their daughters, laden with gold
bags, to foreign ports in quest of
no-ac-counts, have you an authen-
tical record showing a farmers
daughter committing such a mis-
take Why not? She hasn't the
required gold-bags, and is endowed
with too much sense.
Do not the farmers hard-earned
cargoes of wheat, corn, oats and cot
ton, his pork and beef, 90 to these
very foreign ports in quest of these
very bags of gold, that we may
keep the old mare going?
1t is up to the farmer to keep an
eagle eye on the source whence
these large campaign funds are
most freely, for they
make an elegant weather-vane, and
he has best guess coming in de-
termining the probable direction of
the wind for a spell.

Mrs. Eastman-Taylor was first mar.
ried TO Earl Taylor in 1898, and after
she had lived with him a lew years
he disappeared. She says she had
good reasons for believing him dead,
and she contracted another marriage,
this time In November, 1909, with
Herman Buck. She lived with Buck
for some time, and as result of this
marriage two children were born. The
petitioner says that as soon as she

ISSUED IN GRAFT INQUIRY
Grand Jury Begins investigation Of
Alleged Wholesale Traffic In
Votes In Illinois

DANVILLE, Ills, Jan. 23.-The real
work OF investigating the charges of
Wholesale buying and selling of votes
In Danville and other places In ver-
million county. was begun today by
the grand jury and as a result, whole
sale confessions are expected shortly.
Since Saturday more than 100 addi.
tional subpoenas have been served on
persons believed to know something
OF vote buying and vote selling here
In Uncle Joe's bailiwick. and II Is sig
nihcant that nearly all the persons
summoned are bankers and politi.
clans. Every man who has been q
candidates for pablic. efiics- in Dan
vile or Vermillion county for the past
few years has received subpoena. 1t
Is understood each will be asked to
furnish an itemized account of all the
money he contributed to campaign
funds.
1t Is surprising the number of men
OF Danville and vermillion county
who have found that their business
has called them to neighboring states
during the past week and whose stays
away from home will be Indefinite. -
The sheriff s deputies report that they
have been unable to summon a large
number of politicians whose testimony
the grand jury is particularly anxious
to hear
r. III. Frankenberger, a local news
paper reporter, was one Of the first
witnesses before the grand jury to-
day. Frankenberger secured the al
legged confessions from City Attorney
Frank w. Jones Saturday, which
Jones later denied having made
Frankenberger told the inQuisitors
what he knew and asked that Jones
be called to tell his side or the story.
Jones has already expressed a willing
ness to appear, declaring that while
he knows votes were bought and sold,
he. himself, took no part In the cor
rupt traffic.
The anti-saloon element of the city
is lending all the assistance In its
power to the grand jurors in an effort
to effect political housecleaning.
while the wet element is putting forth
equal elements to block the work OF

CHEATED GOVT
Judge lands Sentences Men, Guilty
of Defrauding Uncle Sam of
Large Sums by Internal
Revenue Frauds.
Imposes Fines of More Than $50, 900
and Prison Sentences of
Is Years.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Severely criu-
cising the law which permits the SEE
retary Of the treasury and the col
lector of internal revenue to coin
promise crime upon payments oil
cash, Federal Judge X. M. Lands.
today, imposed fines OF more than
S50,000 and prison terms OF IL years
upon the proprietors OF the Illinois
Fruit Distilling Co., and several
saloonkeepers, who pleaded guilty Ia
detrauding the government OF large
sums by internal revenue frauds.
Among the sentences imposed
were:
Simon Frindel, fined $4,000. and
sentenced to two and half years in
the federal prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kans.: Harry Rosenstein. Sc,
900 fine and two years; David
Shapiro, $4,000 fine and two years;
Philip Blum, $4,000 fine and two
years; Herman Levinkind, $1,000 fine
and two years: II. Rosenfeld, 81 BOO
fine and 10 months; Abraham Tucker,
$4,000 fine and Is months.
All receiving prison sentences
were associate partners in the Illinois
Fruit Distilling Co., while the ones
who escaped with fines were saloon
keepers who connived with them in
the frauds against the government.
The men pleaded guilty. It was
charged that the distilling company
made and sold 100000 worth of wine
on which the government was paid
internal revenue on only $4,000.
In imposing sentence Judge Lands
said
1T may be good business policy Oil
the part OF the government to allow
the secretary of the treasury to CON-
promise these cases out of court, up
on cash payments before indictments
are returned. After indictments are
returned II is necessary to secure the
consent of the attorney-general to q
compromise and In this case the
court commends the attorney-general
for refusing to accept compromise"

SECOND TRIAL OF
ALEXANDER STARTS
Selection of Jury Likely To Be
Tedious Affair-Attorney Mahon
Appears For Defendant.

Attorney Thomas Mahon, still
showing the effect Of his beating at
the hands of Robert Oakman ana
John +. Dodge, appeared in Judge
Mandelrs court, Monday. to defend
John Alexander, the Ford City man
charged with manslaughter In con-
nection with the death of his wife IN
October, 1907.
Mr.. Mahon's face il still swollen
and discolored, and his jaw shows
the marks of the boots Of the men
who kicked him In the face after he
was down Attorney Edward Ken
nedy, who Is associated with MIR.
Mahon In the case, will do most OF
the active work. The selection of q
jury will probably require long
time.
The case being in court more than
three years, and has occasioned SO
many newspaper stories, that nearly
every juror examined during the
morning session was familiar with
the case and had formed an opinion.
One young man examined, who had
never heard of the case, said ne took
but one daily paper and read only
the sporting page. Another man from
one of the townships said that no
newspaper OF any kind comes into
his home. He expressed the opinion
that when man was arrested he
ought to prove his innocence.
At the first trial more than a year
ago Alexander was found guilty ot
and sentenced to IS
years, but q new trial was ordered
by the supreme court on the ground
OF error. Assistant Prosecutors Aid
rich and Jesnowski will appear for
the people.
