Soldier S Home
Not the Best

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov 22,-Edward
L. Grafton, magazine publisher tes'
tilted today before the senatorial COM
mittee that is probing conditions at
the national soldiers home at Saw
telle, citing observations he made dur
ing visits to the institution. Grafton
declared that some Of the food he had
seen on tables there was not OF the
best, and that the beds in the barracks
did not appear clean, He further de-
clared that the veterans appeared
loath to make complaints.
Charles Hamilton, Spanish war
veteran, testified that he had been
treated in the home hospital, and that
he had deemed 1t necessary to leave to
obtain treatment elsewhere. He also
commented on the disinclination Of the
veterans to make complaints, fear of
the consequences, he declared, being
the cause

ONE or THE EFFECTS
OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE

An unusual sight was to be seen on
the streets this morning, but now that
equal rights have been accorded both
sex things are different. An officer
was taking a man to the station, who
apparently was in a drunken condi-
ton, with a lady holding one arm Of
the accused man. Part Of the time
the lady appeared to be assisting the
officer and part Of the time she ap-
peared to be an innocent party to the
charge Inquiry does not reveal that
any female officers have been appoint
ed ON the Salem police force, nor are
we able to learn at this time the con
nection between the man and woman,
Suffice it to say the man was safely
lodged in the city JAIL but the woman
was allowed her liberty as she had
not committed anyeorrense against the
dignity Of the laws Of the city.

Do you know that even that would
scarcely give you the returns OF ONE

the fact that a paper has such a large
circulation carries with in the indis-
putable evidence that it is a GOOD
paper, and the people want to read it?
Do you know that the Clarion has
added to its already large circulation,
that Of the St. Landry Commoner?
Do you know that no weekly pap

And do you know that the Clarion
has not increased it's advertising rates?

TAXING POOR MANS
COAT OFF HIS BACK
Concrete Illustration of What a Re-
publican. Tariff Really Means
Causes Workers to Think.

Concrete examples of how a pro
tective tariff operates are causing the
working man, the poor man." to do a
lot Of thinking nowadays. He is be-
ginning to understand whether it is
not about time to call a halt on the
Republican practice of taxing the coat
off his back and threatening him with
the loss of his shirt and his socks If
he does not submit.
All through the present tariff law,
passed by a Republican congress and
endorsed by a Republican President
as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER
PASSED, are to be found discrimina-
tions, the higher duty on the cheaper
article, the lower on the shoulders
of those least able to bear 1t the great
er burden of the protective system.
Here are some illustrations:
The cheapest wool blankets bear a
duty of 165.42 per cent; the dearest,
104.55 per cent.
F1annels, not more than 40 cents a
pound, are taxed at 1887 per cent;
over 70 cents pound, 1887 per cent.
Wool pushes, cheapest, 141.75 per
cent; dearest, 1888 per cent.
Knit fabrics, cheapest, 141 per cent.
dearest, 9553 per cent.
Stockings, worth from 81 to $3.50
dozen, 1887 per cent; from So to
SO, 59 per cent
Hats and bonnets, worth not over
S. dozen, 81 per cent; over $40 a
dozen, 35 per cent.
Carpets. highest priced, so per cent. !:
that used for mats and rugs, 1858 per
cent.
Women's gloves, unlined, 40 per
cent; lined, "a per cent; longest
gloves, unlined, AZ per cent; lined, 29
per cent.
Mems gloves, worth less than SO a
dozen, 66.28 per cent; costliest gloves,
14.45 per cent: leather, unlined, 44.58
per cent; lined, $3.50 per cent.
Buckles, cheapest, 77.48 per cent;
/ dearest, a26.3 per cent.
Uncut diamonds bear 10 per cent.
duty; imitation diamonds, 20 per cent.
The humble f1recracker bears a
97.02 per cent. duty, while elaborate
fireworks bear but 70 per cent.
Mating, smaller and cheaper grades,
43 per cent; costlier, "a per cent
Watch movements, seven jewels,
$500 per cent: II Jewels, 40.41 per
cent; II Jewels, 34.45 per cent.
Underwear, cheapest, $500 per
cent; dearest, 80 per cent.
Dress goods Of wool, cheapest,
1o5.42 per cent; dearest, 94.13 per
cent
Velvets, cheapest, 10522 per cent;
dearest, 1856 per cent.
Silk handkerchiefs, cheapest, 7744
per cent; dearest, So per cent.
Scissors, worth 80 cents a dozen,
1921 per cent; worth $175 a dozen,
r46 per cent.
Table knives, fancy grades, 57.40
per cent; bone handled, 6943 per
cent.
Butcher knives, best grades, 52.10
per cent; cheapest grades, 1886 per
cent.
Files, smallest, S1.2s per cent;
longest, 1851 per cent.
Shot guns, worth from $5 to $40,
4767 per cent; worth over $40, 45.46
per cent
These are only part of the dis
ordinations, cleaned from a swift
coming Of some of the schedules. Re
duced to simplest terms, they mean
that the poor man is taxed higher than
the rich man.

 But veterinary surgery did not e1 brace the study of cattle and shef diseases at all Treatment of si{ cattle was referred to the local "leecfI who, to quote a wrirer of the tiuI knows as much of the diseases animals as the beast to attend whi he is sent for"
 Arthur Young, writing in ITO. red oned the total of cattle in England ! over 2,SO0 ,000, including 6S4.o draught cattle The fact that some S0O,0 cattle are now owned in E1 land indicates the change in the tie breeding industry during hd dred years There are no reliable

Latin and Greek.

The action of Amherst college in seeking to restore Latin and Greek to their supremacy in the scheme of higher education may be the begin ming of great reaction. Or it may be another case of Mrs. Burlington with her broom trying to sweep back the rising tide.-The World.
 And it may, and doubtless will be. neither. Latin and Greek may be re stored to their supremacy" in Ann herst college, and perhaps to the profit of the college and of the country. without creating an educational reac. tion. It,,is not at that that Amherst seems to aim, Rather in this age of specialized education, she is choosing the old-fashioned classical education as her speciality. It might be said that she proposes to specialize in a general education which shall aim to train sound thinkers.
