MR.. P. D. PLANK
H0N0RED BY MEN
Is Presented With A Handsome
Knight TempIar Emblem FRI
day BY The Mechanical De-
partment OF The L. n. & St.
[. R. R. Company.
CAPT. ROWLAND PRESENTS IT.

Z Down at the shops Friday morning
under the old oak, Mr.. P. d. Plank,
was presented with an exquisite watch
charm of Knight Templar design,
from the mechanical department of the
L. H. & St. L. R. R. Company. The
Presentation was rendered by Capt. J.
H. Rowland on the platform erected
for the occasion where Mr.. Plank sat
with. his little grandson, David Marion
Behen, and listened to the Captain
while he said in his gracious manner
"The Knight Templars of old were
known the world over for devotion to
duty and loyalty to friends and absolute
unselishness, so you, as we believe,
possessing all these noble qualities, we,
the employees of this road, take great
pleasure in presenting to you this
Knight Templar badge in appreciation
of kindness rendered and as testi-
monial to your untiring devotion to
duty
The token of esteem and gratitude
expressed, touched Mr.. Plank deeply
and he quietly arose from the chair and
had heart to heart talk with the hun
dred or more men that stood before
him.
After he had thanked them for the
emblem, he said: "This has not been
a presided affair in my leadership
here for the last twelve or fourteen
years. You have been as good to me
as I have to you. and want to say to
you now. who ever my successor shall
be, stani by him as you'have stood by
me. This will be better for you and
better for him."
"What has been top-most in my mind
ever since have been down here, has
been to be better man-and if l have
failed IN anything it has been in the ex-
ample that have set to make you
better men, for that is what l have
tried most to do. "You have never
heard me swear, he told them. my
mother taught me not to. She lived
to be past sixty and she never heard
me swear"
When Mr.. Plank finished hearty
applause came forth and as he stepped
down to pass from under the g!orioSs
shade of the big tree, the men crowded
around him for farewell hand-shake
from the retiring master mechanic and
their friend.
The emblem was set with three
diamonds, zone for Oracle, one for
Edith and one for Eva"-his daughters,
who sincerely appreciate the token
of esteem that was expressed for their
father.

PAY UP AND SAVE TROUBLE
"Malefactors Of Great Wealth" Should
y Take Warning From HarrIman's
r. Experience. 5s

1t Is time for the Indicators Of
great wealth to look out.
The Roosevelt committee Is adver-
Using "a popular one-dollar subscrip-
ton fund to defray the necessary and
legitimate expense of securing the
nomination Of Theodore Roosevelt for
president on the Republican ticket at
the Chicago convention" This Is the
same scheme Sunny Jim" Sherman
started in 1906, and it had serious con-
sequences for some people.
Any malefactor OF great wealth who
ever supported Mr.. Roosevelt would
do we'll to dig up dollar at once and
deliver it In person to the Roosevelt
committee treasurer. II he Is wise he
will not refer to any personal dealings
with Mr.. Roosevelt In the past.
That Is the mistake Mr.. Hartman
made in 1906. He refused to give Mr..
Sherman dollar to help elect Roose-
welt congress-, and he talked about
having raised 100000 for the Roose-
welt campaign fund in 1904 and being
sorry for it. It was indiscreet in Mr..
Hartman, and very poor economy. II
he had paid over his dollar or some
thing more to Mr.. Sherman he might
not have been branded as an .undesir-
able citizen" along with Haywood and
Meyer. It would have been cheap at
dollar not to be belabored with the
big stick.
il 1t Is worth dollar of the money Of
a malefactor Of great wealth any time
to escape Mr.. Harriman's experience.
AS a matter OF caution, it is safer to
call on the committee and save
trouble. ~

that the astuteness that caused the

PEOPLE KNOW BETTER
IDLE TO DENY TARIFF MAKES
,sz PRICES gARTIFlclALLY HIGH.
Proteetlonlsts Must Either Admit tbs
az Fact or Acknowledge That Their
J.sl Pet Idea 10 DeIuslon and
.t.;e Fraud. ~

Ii. No special inquiry by the state de-
partment through its consular officers
in Europe was needed to prove that
there has been marked increase In
prices Of necessaries Of life through
out the world. 1t was q matter OF
common knowledge. Neither will Mr..
Taft's remarks in special message to
congress about the high cost OF hv-
ing in Europe and the universal rest
lessness under this condition reconcile
the American people to conditions in
their own country. They are con-
WINGED that the prices Of many ar
ticles of daily consumption In the
United States are unnecessarily and
aritfcially high, and they demand re-
Lief. :s8
High protectionists had already pre-
empted the general statements repeat
ed by Mr.. Taft for use In opposing the
reduction of tariff duties. Senator
Lodge did it year ago and others
have initiated him. They say that
because the cost Of living 10 high
abroad, the tariff does not account for
the high cost of living in the United
States. But If high duties do not help
to keep UP prices the tariff is delu-
sion and fraud. It does not accom-
plish what it was intended for. and is
not needed. It is sheer impudence
for the foes Of tariff revision to say
that the Payne-Aldrich rates do not
contribute to the high cost Of living
when the beneficiaries Of schedule K,
the cotton-millf interests, the iron and
steel manufacturers and the beet
sugar people flock to Washington to
complain that lower duties will affect
the prices Of their products.
Tariff schedules that represent ex-
cessive and unjust taxation upon con
sumption and extravaganza In govern
ment expenditures are two causes that
operate directly against lower cost Of
living. The remedies for both abuses
are in the hands Of the government.
To revise the tariff, to reduce taxation
and to practice economy In national
expenditures will be to take long
step in the direction Of affording the
consumers relief. X.
1t is true that the cost Of living has
increased Of late years the world over.
But for the administration or congress
to make that pretext for adhering
to unsound and wasteful methods Of
government is to defy common sense.
