In Its Application to High
Cost of Living.
FARMER ALWAYS BEARS BRUNT
Of High Tariff, While He Pays
Increased Prices for
NeceSSarieS.
GOV. WILSON'S CLEAR REASONS
BY G.. II. TavennerD

Washington, Aug. Ex-Governor
Wilson has Indicated in the
speeches he has made thus far in
The campaign that he attaches a
great deal of importance to the
question of the tarif as it affects
farmers The caudi-
date put this whole question int a
nutshell when he said
THE farmer does not derive any
benefits from the tariff when he
but on everything the farmer buys
there is an artificially high price
due TO the tariff tax"
High protectionists in Congress
have for many years deceived the
farmer into believing that because
a tariff is kept on wheat and corn,
the farmer Is necessarily benefited
thereby, That this is false logic, is
apparent to any student OF Ameri-
can import and export statistics.
This country produces more wheat
and corn than the American people
consume. which obviously makes it
impossible for any country of Flu
rope 10 sell wheat or corn here.
Europe. which is the great market
for surplus American grain, uses all
the grain produced there for home
consumption, and in addition, the
European countries have TO send
ever mere FOR more. I.% - II
If there were no tarifr on grain
therefore, the American farmer
would not be menaced by the posi-
bility of foreign competition, for
the reason that foreigners have no
grain to sell.
But the situation is vastly differ
ent with the farmer when he comes
to buy the tools. machinery, cloth
ing and other necessities of life. He
finds every article that he uses in
producing his crops taxed higher
and higher. until, as Gov. Wilson
says, 1T is getting to be next to
impossible for the American farmer
to make a legitimate profit" The
farmers implements, his smaller
tools, wagons. household articles.
lumber and harvesting
have steadily risen in
price"
That this rise in prices has been
due TO artificial causes is proven by
the fact that tive identical articles
used by the American farmer are
sold abroad ar from % to 40 per
cent less. p. y. Townsend, in his
report to President Roosevelt on
he Harvester Trust, reported that
he same harvesting machines that
we're made by the trust in Chicago.
md sold to the American farmer
or Sl2j, are sold in Russia for
$50 and 500. Nothing but the tar
fl thus enables the trust to rob the
american farmer, because, if it
we're not for the tariff. the danger
T competition from Canada would
orce the American trust to sell it's
machines for one price 70 ALL
Gov. Wilson has shown a deep
rasp OF the tariff question as II
fleets farmers, and it is certain
hat before the campaign is much
lder. he will have some illuminate
'g things TO saw to the farmer on
his vital subject.

WEATHER EXPERTS
EXPECTED TO BRING

Weather Forecaster VonHerrmann of
the Atlanta bureau, is scanning the sky
with a dubious eye this afternoon and
sadly shaking his head.
Too many cooks spoil the BROTH he
remarked. Have you ever seen two
prettier days than Sunday and today :?
never have. Tomorrow is going to be
the same, too"
Why are you looking so worried.
then?" queried the reporter.
Because all the weather sharps are
coming, responded the local guesser.
Thirteen Of the weather bureau ex-
perts are going to meet in Atlanta this
week. As a result, the whole thing has
become muddled and now we're going
to have wet, sloppy rain all day Wed
nesdag. It doesn't do to have too many
fingers in the pie" he sighed.

Judson, it was said, started to run
toward the hall. but was caught by the
.irate husband, who dragged him back
into the room and slashed him a half
dozen times about the face, neck and
body.
Weak from loss Of blood, Judson
managed to stagger down the stairs to
the street and crawled around the cor

Park West. where he was found by
Mrs. Bennett the housekeeper.
Judson was taken to j. Hood Wright
hospital, where late this afternoon ii

PRINCETON, N J., Nov. 11-That

promise of tariff revision after he takes
his seat on March 4 was indicated by
President ELECT Wilson today. How
ever, the governor proposes to continue
the attitude of listener for few days
more at least, though it will not be sur
prisng If the governor announced his
determination to call an extra session
before leaving for his vacation Satur-
day.
When the question OF an extra ses-
sion was put to the governor he re-
marked:
THE consensus of opinion in favor OF
an extra session is very interesting in
deed. have been much impressed by
it. / have heard very little opposition
| to the extra session. The demand for
an extra session appears to be nation
wide. I had fully intended not to an

to calling an extra session until | got

to do so earlier. However, I want to

ITALIAN GANG SLEW
GIRL FOR REVENGE is
NEW POLICE THEORY

GEORGETOWN, CONN, Nov. IL
That the young woman whose body
was found early Saturday morning in
the mill pond near here was murdered
for revenge by gang of Italians and
that the murder was committed at some
distance from the scene where the
corpse was found and brought to the
scene in wagon, was clearly estab-
lished by the state police today.
Little progress has been made toward
positive Identification of the body. The
initials, &c. c." embroidered on cloth
wrapped around the body and the gold
ring which the woman wore furnish
practically the only clews to her iden-
tity
The theory that the woman was killed
as an informer in the local liquor raids
of a week ago is believed to have been
practically abandoned and Prosecutor
Bars, of Danbury, says that no woman
gave any evidence.

LIVE DEAD MAN
MAY FACE TRIAL

That Augustus J. Fem. the promi-
nent south Georgia lumberman who
disappeared several years ago and was
reported drowned may be prosecuted
in the Georgia courts for conspiracy to
defraud two insurance companies was
intimated by an officer Of the Southern
States Life Insurance Company today
r. H Roberts, one of the men who
swore in open court that he saw Fem
fall out of an open boat and disappear
beneath the waters of the Appalachi-
cola river one moonlight night almost
three years ago, already has been lodg-
ed in the Crisp county jail charged with
perjury and his partner, j. 8. Land,
who swore to the same thing, is being
sought by the officials of the county on
the same charge.
The officials of the Southern States
Life expect the trial to bring out some
unusual developments. If their expec-
tations are fulfilled, Fem, who now is
in Texas or Mexico. will be appre-
hended by detectives and brought back
to Georgia to face the charge Of con-
spiracy. He was released at New Or
leans several weeks ago after being
found at the end Of two-year search
by the Pinkerton detectives.
Land, who was said to have been in
the boat with. Roberts and Fem, has
disappeared and no trace of him can be
found in Crisp county or the surround
ing country. Roberts, who Is in Jail,
absolutely refuses to talk. The insur-
ance officers say they will prove that
but two men started down the river in
the boat those two being Land and
Roberts, and that Fem framed it up
with the two to pretend that he was
drowned.
When Fem was apprehended in New
Orleans, his wife, who actually believed
him drowned according to the insur-
ance officials, was winning a suit for
$15. 900 life insurance which he carried
The trial OF Roberts and of Land. II
he Is caught, will take place at the next
term of the Crisp superior court. If at
that time a conspiracy is proved the
insurance company will seek to have
Fem returned and sent to the peniten-
tiary for conspiracy to defraud.
