FREIGHT HOUSE
EMPLOYEES QUIT
Cedar Rapids Men WaIkout at the
Milwaukee Station Yesterday
Morning.

Agent T. H. Jacobs Of the Milwau
kee freight station in Ottumwa, has
left for Cedar Rapids, his former
charge to assist In Strengthening out
the labor trouble that has occurred
there. Thursday morning about 8
o'clock ten office men Including the
cashier walked out and later in the
day fourteen freight handlers did like
wise. Refusal Of, or too great delay
in granting increase in wages sought
by the employees is the reason for the
walkout. The cashier when leaving
locked the safe and refused to open
1t until the company's auditor arrived
to check him out. Greek section la.
borels are handling the freight and
five Chicago Office men are trying to
operate the business end of the freight
problem during the strike. Beyond
stating that a question of wage was
involved, the division Office here would
not discuss the situation The local
Office, however, said the condition else,

the Cedar Rapids trouble.

TAFT AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.

JRt AND ne OIVII SGnSlSG.
One of the institutions which have
grown up during republican admins
trations is the civil service. The
country has been committed to this
policy, since the long trial given 1t has
demonstrated that the people secure
better service by continuing capable
men in governmental and municipal
positions instead of ousting them with
every change of administration and
giving the positions to unframed men
in payment of political debts. The
democrats have never been friendly to
civil service. A late Illustration OF
this was afforded when during the re.
cent session of congress Representa-
tive Burke of North Dakota. republi.

cratic member from Georgia, to ask II

The president had this feature of
the bill, and the tariff board, in

it the best tariff this country has
ever adopted. And Notwithstanding
there were over six hundred reduc-
tons in rates, people failed to ap-
preciate the measure as 1t deserved,
and, amid torrent of denunciation

Cranes Motives,

Sioux City Jousnal: Charles r..
Crane is mighty good citizen as good
citizens go. Mr.. Crane testifles that
in contributing to the preconvention
campaigns Of LaFollete and Wilson
his only interest was to promote the
progressive y cause No doubt Mr..
Crane believed that at the time and
believes It now. However, everybody
else who gives even passing notice to
politics knows that II Mr.. Crane had
been allowed to 20 to China to fulfill
the mission accepted from the Taft
administration he would not have been
interested in progressive politics this
year. Possibly Mr.. Crane cannot see
the truth from his present biased view
point, but it is plain enough to every
body else What Mr.. Crane thinks IL
progressivism Is nothing more or less
than revenge. 81

THE EFFECT OF A LOW TARIFF.

Here is the way that tariff for revenue must
and does affect the workngman, farmer, manufacture
er, merchant and man with ready cash in hand.
tariff for revenue must be low enough to induce
the foreign manufacturer to ship his goods into this
country otherwise it will not produce any revenue If
it brings in enough goods to produce any revenue then
the American factories have to quit making these goods
the goods Of the cheaper paid foreign labor take the
place of the goods that have heretofore been made in
this country.
The American factory cannot meet this cheaper
competition and has to close down-ths throws the
American workmen out of regular employment, and
they have to catch days work here and there and
when they This cuts down their ability to buy and
therefore they do not much food and cloth
ing formerly That soon lessons the demand for the
products Of the farm then the price of farm products
goes down.
That has always happened when low tariff has
been put in force in this country and 1t will happen
again when low tariff bill is enacted It was tried in
the 30s it tried in the 50s it tried in the 9Os
and the result was the same each time.
The talk was made then for free trade that is
made now. The politician said that living too high
the people paying too much, etc. Protectonists
cited the disastrous results of low tariffs before The
free trader said: 1--WE admit that it bad at that
time, but that can't happen again"
But it did happen and it happen and it will hap
pen if we pass low tariff bill. Panic and business
disaster just quick and bring with it more
distress today than Business today is not organ
lied on greater profit than in the past-simply on
greater volume. Ten per cent profit ten thousand
dollar business does not bring in many dollars
per cent on fifty thousand dollar business.
The difference between and the past is that
there would be people out Of work than ever be-
fore-more soup houses necessary.
The merchant will not in the face of lowering
tariff lay in goods for the future-he simply buys to
fill current orders, and these orders keep only few
employed.
Land goes down, and the interest on the mortgage
can not be met That will be felt harder than
BEFORE because land is higher. There banks that
have more money loaned on land now than the land
would have brought few years ago. Farmers will
very quickly feel any decrease in the price of farm
products. So will the banks.
The man who has cash-not tied up in bust
ness-but who has it in dolars-ready money-the
shylock-w be able to reap harvest because he can
step in and get bargains at his figures. He is the
man who holds the whip hand in the time of panic.
The man who has to sell can not set the prcehe has
to take what the man who has the cash will give him.

Press Comment.
Mr.. RoosEvELT's BRAVERY.

James N. Miller, Company A. 18th
West Virginia infantry, In letter to
the Leavenworth Times: The sup
porters of Mr.. Roosevelt enumerate
among his good qualities that OF brav-
cry, and cite his record IN the Span
ish-American war as proof That ne
performed wonderful deeds OF valor
during that sanguinary conflict cannot
be doubted. for we. have the story
from his own lips. In his book, The
Rough Riders" a history OF that war,
or rather of the part he took IN 1t, ne
is everywhere the commanding hgure,
and fortunate indeed 1t was for our
country he was in our army instead
Of the enemy, or we would today be
vassals Of Spain.
On page 81 of the book above men,
toned Mr.. Roosevelt says: II took a
rifle from a wounded man and began
firing shots with it myself" Now an
Iofficer-Roosevelt was colonel Is
not permitted to use rife nor to
shoot at the enemy, except with his
revolver in self defense. II an officer
were captured with rifle in his hands
he could be put to death by the rules
of war. The privates do the shooting.
In the four years Of our civil war II
is certain that no officer, union or
confederate, ever did such thing as
Mr.. Roosevelt here boastfully relates
himself.
Again on page 1877 of the book Mr..
Roosevelt says: Eat about the same
time I also shot one'-meaning a
Spanish soldier. On the same page he
again says: 1.-TWO Spanish soldiers
came out of the trenches. AS they
turned to run I closed In and fired
twice, missing the first one and kill
ing the second" This was done with
a revolver.
In a. magazine article written soon
after the war, Mr. Roosevelt describes
in greater detail the killing OF Span
|fsh soldier-whether one of the above
I do not know, but think not He
tells in his lurid language how he saw
the poor fellow running to place OF
safety, and drawing a bead on him
presumably with rihe-he fired and
saw the man stagger and fall. Can
you imagine Grant or Lee doing this
and boasting OF It?
l would suggest to the Christian
mothers of America that they read
these stories to their boys, and teach
them what brave man Theodore
Roosevelt was, yet so modest withal,
and that they should emulate his
example and grow up to kill their fell
low men by shooting them in the
back.
Among the old soldiers of the civil
war it is considered that when a com.
rade is telling about killing one Of
the enemy, he is either lying or has
lost his sense Of shame and man
hood.

common practice to the material harm
of American trade and commerce. This
defect was remedied by clause in the
Payne-Aldrich bill, which gave the
United States whip hand whereby
any nation which Disseminated

other countries would be subject to
higher rates upon articles imported
into the United States. The presi-
dent was given the power to in
crease the import rates as related to

further action by congress. Armed
with this club President Taft has been
