Bogus Check Man Pleads Guilty.

c. H. Thomas, who was charged with
obtaining $3.50 from L. w. Wilson on
a bogus check, pleaded guilty to the
charge this morning in the county
court. Sentence has not yet been pass
ed, but the recommendation of a SEN
tence of six months in the county Jail
is expected. The offense with which
Thomas was charged was only a mis-
demeanor, the amount of money Sc
cured being less than $50. In a num-
Der of other cases in which he is be-
lieved to have secured money on bogus
checks, the amounts also were less
than $50. So while he may spend con-
siderable TIME in the county jails of
the state, he is in no danger of be-
ing sent to the state prison.

General Manager Sweet would have
nothing to say on the campaign of the

Where would you build it?" was
his rapid fire return question on being
asked concerning the proposed ter

both sides of the question and delights
to discuss the subject from every
angle. Mrs. Johnston's sincerity and

HIS FIRST SPEECH.
DIR. Eliot Enters Political Arena at
Age of IS.

Boston. Oct. 25-In the first poltlcal
speech of his life, President Emeritus
Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard unlVer-
sity, in his seventy-eighth year. al
vocated the election of WOODROW w IL
son or president before an enthusiastic
gathering of 5000 men and women IN
fremont temple.
1t was a MONDAY rally held under
the auspices of the Wilson League
of College clubs. In addition to MT
Eliot, who was uproraiously cheered as
he spoke We're other prominent
speakers. including John Sharp Will
liams, United States senator from Mis-
sissippi.
Mr.. Eliot made a ringing speech. He
condemned the Republican party ma
chine. He said part:
When was first asked to speak at
a rally for Wilson by college men,
didn't believe in appealing to any
class 1 appeal for votes for Wilson
to be given by the representatives
of the entire community. When the
government is ruled by a class 1t W.
be at an end.
Equal rights for all special privi-
Ieges for none That's what L heard
in my early days. That brings me to
the prime issue in the campaign-the
tariff-the high protective tariff.
The working people of today are
not adequately protected. The CAPT

equal rights for all and special priVi
leges for none. The saying is that A
cheap coat makes a cheap man. Let's
reverse that and have it that a dear
coat makes a valuable man. So give
the working man the wages to buy
dear coat
I'VE are all consumers, rich and
poor. We want t0-see the Democratic
party take that view. Tariff is
very bad mode of collecting taxes.
Put the Democratic party in power,
start anew and abolish the tariff as it
stands today.
This is the most instructive cam
paign since the civil war. What %
the American people stand for? They
stand for the security of life and pro-
perty and liberty protected by law.
The liberty by law is dear to the hearts
of the American people There are
rash proposals made to alter our jul
dicial system. 1 appeal to the peo-
pie as a whole, is not the Democratic
party the one 10 deal with the
changes? The Republican party is
contented with a policy of 'standpat-
ism. The party with the strenuous
leader is not the party to deal with
constitutional and judicial changes.
The American people had better put
the Democratic party in charge of the
government.
The Republican party has been in
power almost since the civil war. It
is high time the American people look
ed sharply and assumed the reins of
government and put the Democratic
party in power"

Why Shoes Cost More.
From the New York Times.

4
People who own automobiles can re-
ceive with some equanimity the news
that they, by diverting to the upholstery
of their cars much OF the leather that
used to be made into shoes. have made
everybody pay more to keep or tho
ground. They can console themselves
with the knowledge that the wear on
their own footgear is less than 1t used
to be and that their shoes will last
enough longer to make UP for the in
creased price.
That consolation, however, is not for
the others. more numerous but not as
fortunate, who neither own nor ride in
automobiles. These, as they pay higher
prices for the shoes to which they are
accustomed or the old prices for shoes
OF poorer quality. will ponder deep the
gloomy mystery why 1t Is that In the case
of leather, as in not q few other cases
nowadays. increased demand has not had
its orthodox and once usual effect OF
stimulating production.
1t still stimulates prices In the good old
way. but we are gravely told that the
stock raisers of Golden Ed are now pas
sionately growing assorted cereals, to be
pulled and shredded and faxed and other
wise bedeviled for the lazy housewives

the enlarged consumption of these aeriaf
substitutes for real food has not cheap
ened anything else on the domestic bill
OF fare, SO again the explanation takes
us nowhere except to that stolid and i'm
permeable actually of our age. the in
creased cost OF living.
About that increase there is no doubt,
and. as in the case of other maladies.
the fact that many cures are offered for

been found.
