Tariff is a Tax.

The word Tax" should be substi-
tinted for the word tariff" The
people would then understand the
question better. Fewer people would
then accept the pr"tectionist theory
that the way for them to increase
their prosperity would be to increase
the tax on everything they eat,
wear or use. TO use the word tax"
instead OF tariff" would be to make
the protection appear ridiculous to
the wage Garner. Instead of saying
the tariff on wool" it would be
better to say "the wool tax" or
"the sugar tax" or "the Implement
tax" "the sewing machine tax, y
etc. The word tariff is deceiver.
But the people know what tax is.
They know they pay 1t themselves.
The word tariff has Il certain ring to
it that sounds like it was laid by
some third party.

is somewhat ahead of most rabbit
hunting hounds. mis- pussy. whose
voice at night is unlike that OF its fell

Ordway has owned the cat several
years and cannot account for its hunt.

WIFE FREQUENTLY BEAT
HIM, MAN TELLS COURT

The wearying grind OF divorce cases
in which abused wives tell Of beatings
at the hands of brutal husbands was
somewhat relieved, Tuesday morning,
when Frank c. Romer filed a bill in
which he alleges that his wife, Hilda,
knocked him down and beat him many
times.
Once she knocked him from chair
and pummeled him severely. he al
leges, and slapped and cuffed him
whenever she became peeved Their
final separation came when Mrs.
Romer greeted her husband with a
fat iron upon his return from work.
He said he had no reason to believe
that she was ill-terSpered. but upon
entering the home she hit him on the
head with the iron, knocking him back
into the yard. There he lay uncon-
scious .or two hours, until policeman
found him and carried him into the
yard. When he recovered conscious
ness he found that his wife had taken
their three young children and left,
and he had not seen them since.
Romer charges that his troubles
were caused by tall man" who Wis
tied his wife during his absence.

DELUSIONS NOT ENOUGH
TO OVERTURN A WILL

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Surrogate
Fowler reserved decision at the con-
clusion OF the trial of the contested
will of Miss Maria l.. Campbell OF No.
II F1fth-ave., who left her 1000, 900
estate 10 four nephews and nieces and
failed TO mention nearly 40 others, IL
OF whom are making the contest.
The surrogate directed that John
V. Bowler, Jr., counsel for the will.
and James w. Osborne, counsel for
the contestants, file briefs within two
weeks, intimating, however, that he
had already formed a strong opinion.
1T Is not enough" he said. ITO
show that certain persons had an OPP
portunity 10 exercise undue influence,
but such undue influence and the in
cidents tending to prove IL must be
proved by positive Affirmative evil
dence. Testimony OF such character
as to show that the testatrix was de
priyed OF exercising her free act and
will by reason OF that influence is
necessary before IL can be accepted
that her acts were not her own but
the result OF another's domination or
mind.
This case reminds me strongly or
the will case of the duke OF Marlbor-
ough. There, as here, the facts were
simple enough, but the atmosphere
creates by the persons involved gave
the case an interest il would not
otherwise have possessed.
las view il, we have simply to
determine If the lady had testamen-
tary capacity; and, while testimony
has been given OF her having pos
sessed certain delusions. IL may be
said that decisions OF themselves are
sufficient TO overturn a will only when
those delusions go TO affect the tesla
mentary capacity OF the maker
The only witness of the day was
Miss Susan Van Rensselaer, Irving. a
second cousin of Miss Campbell, who
was called by the contestants. She
testified to Miss Campbells physical
weakness and mental depression, but
under cross-examination she could not
place within three years the time OF
the incidents she related.
