ROBBING THE People
TRUTH ABOUT THE LEVY OF Ex-
ToRTIoNATE TAXES.
Surely, When, the Facts Are Known,
the Voters VIII Awake and Real
lie the Injustice Of the Pres
ent Wool Schedule.

Difference in cost of production at
home and abroad with a reasonable
profit is the measure of protection
which Mr.. Taft is always insisting
upon.
1t was supposed that the tariff
board would give us precise Informs
tion on this subject, but 1t does not
do SO. Probably It is not to be had.
OF one thing we may be certain,
however, and that is that the cost Of
production here will be higher than
1t is abroad as long as manufacture
ers are encouraged to depend upon
~fayoring laws rather than upon their
W enterprise and sagacity. There
is nothing like a public subsidy to
take energy out of an industry or q
man.
One reason why 1t is not easy to
determine the difference in the cost
of production here and abroad is that
the thing produced here is 10 like
that produced elsewhere. Our cheap
er woolens are VIGOROUSLY shoddy.
Few working people in the United
or slept under a wooden blanket
1t is only by adulteration of WOOL
ems that many of our people are able
to clothe themselves decently at all.
Most of the price comparisons that
we see are of shoddy here and of all
wool elsewhere. Otherwise the diff
ference would be SO great that popu-
lar wrath would be uncomfortable.
When we consider the thousands Of
millions which the people have paid
to foster this industry 1t Is interest
ing to note the fact that after forty
years of monopolistic protection GO
per cent. of the So, 200 employees of the
wool manufacturers are of foreign
birth, many of them imported, no
doubt, for. the purpose.
With our rorts practically closed
to foreign woods and woolens by pro-
hibitory duties, what a mockery it Is
to pretend that there can be no re-
lief from these extortionate taxes ex-
cept as 1t may be measured out dain.
tily and grudgingly with the entire
approval of the p%lunderers who have
long fattened upon them!
On the showing made by the tariff
board and on the admissions of the
president himself, 1t would seem that
no assault upon the corrupt and OPP
pressive wool schedule could be too
violent or too reckless to be ultimate
ly in line with Justice.

MEAN TRICK PLAYED BY FATE
Chances Are That Statesman Had
a Hard Time Explaining Mat
tiers to His Wife.

The story is that it happened about
like this:
A representative from Indiana came
on to Washington when congress
started up, and engaged comfortable
living quarters before his wife ar,
rived. She reached there some time
later on a Saturday night. The next
morning she said:
Now, Ralph, we'll go to church, of
course. Which church have you been
attending?"
"Wh-er-uh, which one, you say?" re,
peated the congressman. why,
there's a mighty nice little church
down here just a couple of blocks. It's
such an easy walk that I've been 60
ing there rather than to some of the
more fashionable churches"
"All right, if you feel at home there,
that's where We'll CO." said the con
CHEESEMAN'S wife, I'VE haven't much
time, anyhow"
So they put on their things and went
to the little church down the street.
When they got inside they made a
startling discovery.

the church.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Did Roosevelt Sell Out to steelq


If Colonel Roosevelt is starting to
run, this is the best time to settle
the question of whether the steel
trust contributed $500, 900 to his cam
paign fund in 1904.
Congress has an investigating COM
mittee already constituted which has
power to summon the necessary wit
nesses to settle the issue for all time.
A thorough airing and publicity should
be given to the list Of contributions,
nominal, disguised or anonymous, re-
ceiyed for Colonel Roosevelt by the
late Cornelius Bliss.
If the steel trust, which received
a special dispensation from Roose-
welt to take over Tennessee Coal and
Iron, thus Illegally establishing a mo-
nopoly, had previously made to him
the biggest campaign contribution in
presidential history, public knowledge
Of the fact would simplify matters at
this juncture.
Congress should either relieve the
public mind of this query or relieve
the people from Roosevelt imposition,
once and for all.

GROWING Youno.

Age has its beauty as well as youth.
and we should all study the art OF
growing old gracefully, that W g may

US. On the stage OF life we have
our part to play. 1t would seem that
religion has taught us better things
than Socialism and helped us to bear

ness in the discovery that the treas

POISONING MYSTERY,
8 INFANTS DEAD
oxalic Acid Is Thought To Be The Pois-
on Which Was Cause of Deaths
In Brooklyn Nursery Hos
DitaI

New York. Feb. 23.--The mystery of
the deaths of eight small children and
the illness Of four other infants in the
Brooklyn Nursery Infants hospital since
Sunday is expected to be solved to-day
by the chemical analysis of the con
tents of the stomachs of two of the
dead children. An irritant poison, be-
lieved to be oxalic acid. mixed with
lime water and milk, was indicated by
the autopsy to be the cause of the
deaths. Coroners Physician West said
there was evidence to suggest the theory
of deliberate poisoning, perhaps by some
hospital attendant afflicted with homi-
cidal mania.
One theory on which the Investigators
are working is that the poison was adj
mnistered in milk given the infants
and their attention has been directed
to woman employe in the kitchen who
has recently, according to fellow em-
ploves, shown signs of insanity. II is
declared that She harbored real or
fancied grievance over the amount of
her pay as kitchen helper. The hos
pital authorities declare this woman had
nothing to do with the preparation or
delivery of food to the infants.
