 THE, TARIFF AND THE TRUST
 QUESTION.
 In addition to these amendments and any additional strengthening of the Jaws against unreaSonab ble restraints of trade, there must be a reduction or
 
 unfair competition. The same facts regarding costs of production. which must be known in enforcing the anti. trust laws. are needed in reducing the tariff to a level of the differences in the cost of labor at home and abroad. Instead of two or more Federal com missions, like the tariff board, the Bu- reau of Corporations, and the pro posed commission to deal with re- straintS of trade. each of them inves- tigating independently the same facts and the same corporations, all of these investigations should be put in the hands of a single board of expert sta tisticians, economists, accountants and engineers The facts which they in- vestigate. instead of being directed by the President, and kept confidential for his use, would then. be secured for the use of all the departments of the gov ernment, including Congress the tariff board, and the Commission on Re- straints of Trade. and would furnish the scientific foundation for all of them in the regulation of interstate trade and the tariff on foreign trade.
 IN CONNECTION WITH PATENTS.
 One of the most serious restraints of trade is found in the patent laws. Those laws are designed to encourage industry. but they are made instru- ments of monopoly. 4 Commission on Restraints of Trade should have pow CT to uncover and prohibit unreason-

 Where dealers in all sections of the United States SO one 1911 Hudson last year they are now selling two new seIf-starting Hudson "33"s. As 1t was. demand for the 1911 car was 2,oO0 cars in excess of factory pcoduc- ton.
 With double-demand prevailing. word is going out from the Hudson factory at Detroit that prospective owners Of the new seh-startfng Hudson '53'' make reservations for cars early.
 The car, being the sixth famous car of Howard T. Coffin. the leading ArDerfcan motor car engineer, has met with a wonderful reception from the motoring pub ic. It is conservatively estimated that during the months since the announcement of his latest car was made, every Hudson on the road sold one additional car.
 The simplicity Of the car, in which MT. Coffin eliminated approximately 1 ,000 parts, has heen a huge factor in it's success This, in addition to it's accessibility and enclosed motor. valve mechanism and moving parts, has put 1t among the most popular cars oe the year and has been responsible for its ownership by many owners of Im- ported motor cars.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. "A telegram
from Colonel Roosevelt in which the
delegates were congratulated on their
stand for a third state ticket, was read
shortly after the opening of the Illi.
nois progressive convention here to-
day.
Earlier In the session the unveiling
of Roosevelt'E picture had brought a
noisy demonstration. The telegram
from the colonel was read by Charles
=. Merriam, who was introduced as
the conventions temporary chairman
by Medtll Mccormick, chairman of the
provisional committee.
In anticipation Of the predicted par
ticipation IN the convention by, friends
OF Governor Deneen of Illinois, the
state third party carefully inspected
the credentials Of delegates at the
doors today.
The platform was not expected to be
presented to the convention before q
late hour this afternoon. Medill Nc
Cormick, who called the convention to
order at 1885. had to swing the gavel
for 10 minutes before the opening
demonstration for Roosevelt ceased.
After Chairman Merriam had de-
livered his address and rules were
adopted, recess was taken to permit
the delegates to select committee
members.
Roosevelt in the closing remarks oi
his telegram. said: The fight is clear
cut. I believe we will be able tc
arouse the people SO they will know
this is their fight and If we can do SO
success is certain, not ultimately but
at once"

the primary states OF the north the
colored men in most places voted sub
stantially as their white neighbors
voted. But in the southern states,
where there was no real republican
party, and where colored men, or
whites selected purely by colored men,
were sent to the convention represent
Ing nothing but their own greed for
money or office the majority was over
whelmingly anti-progressive. Seven
eighths of the colored men from these
rotten borough districts upheld by
their votes the fraudulent actions of
the men who In that convention de-,
fed and betrayed the will of the mass
Of the plain people OF the party.

criminal to disregard the teachings of
such a lesson. The disruption and de-
struction of the republican party ard
the fact that 1t has been rendered alb
solutely impotent as an instrument for

at large has been brought about in
large part by the effort to pretend that

the ghost party in the southern states
as real party, by refusing to face
the truth, which is that under existing

power solely from negroes. With
these forty five years Of failure Of this
policy in the south before our eyes,
and with catastrophes thereby caused
to a great national party not yet six
weeks distant from us 1t would be
criminal for the progressives to re-

for such disaster, such failure, sucn

1T would be much worse than use-
less to try to build up the progressive

the men Of justice and Of vision as
well as of strength and Ieaderghip,
and by frankly putting the movement
in their hands from the outset shall
create situation by which the color

them to get justice IL we are to con.

are the men who have stood for se-
curing the colored man in his rights
before the law, and they can do for
him what neither the northern white
man nor the colored men themselves
can do. Our only wise course from the
standpoint of the colored man himself
is to follow the course that we are
following toward him in the north and
to follow the course we are following
toward him in the south"

Ammunition Smuggling

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 3.-About fifty
shots were exchanged between United
States soldiers and unidentified mes
from the Mexican side Of the river
last night, east OF Ell Paso. No one
was hit. There were no arrests
Three shots were fred from the Mex,
lean side striking the house belong
ing to G. H. Cole.
After the first three or four shots
were heard soldiers on the American
side opened fire toward Mexico. The
bullets then came faster from the
Mexican side, one of them striking
A. T. Martinez house. The houses
of Messrs. Curtis, Williams and Yonk-
ers near the river were also hit.
It was the opinion Of some resi-.
dents of the section that the firing
had been done by Mexican rebels to
distract attention Of American soldiers
so that a quantity of ammunition
could be smuggled across the river at
another point. A careful investiga-
ton is being made.
