Said scar is about three inches long
ana uniform in width, about three
quarters of an inch. Everybody knows
that MI. Smiths domestic relations are
ideal and that his reputation as an

THE DECEIT OF THE TARIFF.

7 was hardly necessary for the New York State Democratic
convention to pronounce the PayneAldrich tariff O gross
deceit upon the people. Nor were the people very greatly
deceived when it was passed. They saw, with amazement. Senator
Aldrich constructing the tariff schedules with the advice and as.
sistance of the representatives and attorneys of the great indus.
trial trusts and with President Taft looking placidy On. The
popular verdict on that tariff was pronounced in 1910. 1t is going

The remarkable changes that Wis
tied the domain of national politics
within the past year is accountable
for the unwonted anxiety of the
congressman to get back to their
constituencies, with a view to learn
ing how they stand with each other.
1t is to be a great election year, un-
precedented in its possibilities since
the party break-ups of 1860. More
Senators and more Representatives
than ever before are to be elected,
32 of the former and ABS of the
latter with an electoral college of
531 to be chosen The indications
are that there will be greater
change than ever in the personnel
both of Senators and Representa-
tives. The number of tickets in the
field backed by earnest supporters
will bring out larger vote than
probably considerably over
15.000,000. The largest vote in any
presidential election was in 1908,
when 14,418,798 ballots were cast,
but that was perhaps less percent
age of the aggregate qualified voters
than at any previous election.

If we We're to give inc hired man
of the renegade sheet little more
publicity in our columns he would
devote his entire space to us, but we
do not think he is worth noticing to
any extent just yet. We admire a
reasonable destroyer of the truth
but when a sheet becomes outlawed
by the people and you can believe
nothing that it publishes, 1t is best
to let it wallow in it's degradation.
1t has no circulation, nor standing In
the community for even pretense
of accuracy on any subject OF poll
tics or religion. Published In the
interest of deception and outrageous
boss rule, it could not be honest po-

condemnation upon its filthy falsifi-

The report of the Interstate Com

companies are capitalized at $107,-
10000 they represent an actual
investment of only $1,000 600.

much as would be necessary to give
them profit on their actual money
invested, and that is just about the

politics and election results is what
would happen in the event no can

a majority vote in the electoral col

the Constitution, be imposed upon
the House of Representatives, in
which the states in such emergen-

tie in the unit control of the states,
an election, with the representatives
adhering to party lines. would be i'm
possible. unless by reason of death

such a change of the unit complex

defect in our grand scheme of Re-
