ing Liquor on Sunday.

Philip J, Steubner, proprietor of road
house on Bladensburg road, was fined $50
yesterday In Justice Wissman's court in
Hyattsville on charge of selling liquor
on Sunday. The charge was made by
Attorney Charles Benedict Calvert, the

August H. and that he sold liquor on
that day TO a number of persons found
in the barroom. Steubner entered a plea
of guilty and paid the fine.
The arrest of the rOadhouse proprietor
came after the grand jury of Prince
Georges county had decided to postpone
it's investigation of the alleged grating
which it has been charged, has been pre-
valent in the county. The charge has
been made that grating has resulted
I'm illegal selling of liquor. in gambling
and similar violations of the law. The

District Officials Interested.

Officials of the local health department
are interested in the final outcome Of the
case that caused them much trouble
during the time Early was in this city.
1t is the belief of some of them that Early
will eventually land in the leper colony
at Molokai, Hawaiian Islands.
Early first claimed the attention Of the
local health officials August n, 1908 when
he appeared at the Salvation Army Hotel,
119 Pennsylvania avenue northwest where
the condition of his face aroused sus-
pcion of the salvationists Investigation
was made and it was decided he was n
victim of Ieprosy. He combatted the YER
dict that he was leper. although experts
had examined him and reported he was
afflicted with the dread disease.
E.arly's claim was that he was suf-
fering from inflammation of the skin,
which had been caused by caustfc liquor
he had used while he was working in a
pulp mill at Canton, \. c., not far from
" here he was born.

only stamp the genuine material, but
stamp that which is not silk but half
silk and half cotton. Then nobody will be
cheated. He will get what he pays for,
what he orders, will be satisfied and il
will make for the betterment of bust
ness.
If a man buys a pair of silk hose,
gets home and finds they are half cot
ton, he viii be mad because he has
been cheated. The merchant did not
intend to cheat him; he bought it for
silk and supposed it was. If it were
stamped both would know they were
getting what they ordered.
Now it is my purpose to have gov
eminent inspectors to stamp these arti-
Giles. Put the stamp of the United
States government on a linen handker-
chief, call it linen and 1t must be all
linen. not half cotton The same with
other articles. Apply II to imported
goods as well as to those manufactured
in this country.
Most Of the larger merchants, man
ufacturers and importers throughout
the country favor this measure. They
think it viii rebound to their benefit.
We have learned from the pure food
laws application it is a good thing.
Well, a pure goods label on any kind Of
material will prove the same. Let US
have it."

TARIFF is LEADING y
CAMPAIGN QUESTION
Gov. Woodrow Wilson Says
Tariff Policy Is Based
Upon FavOritism

New York, n. Y, Jan. 4-Governor
Woodrow Wilson Of New Jersey, ad-
dressed the National Democratic club
! here last night on the topic The Dem
ocratic party and the tariff" Once
again, Mr.. WilSOE said the tariff had
become the chief and most critical
question of cqRPaign which must
decide the policy of our government.
not only in this great matter. but in
regard to a score Of things which
touch the general adjustments of our
life"
He continued in part:
Our tariff policy has not for several
generations been based upon any princi-
pie whatever, but only upon system
Of favoritism, of patronage, Of arbitrary
fOsterage by the federal government
The strength of American industry
lies in the skfll and Intelligence of the
American workman, and the capacity Of
American superintendent and manag-
erS; and the efficiency and glory Of
the wOrkingman depend upon Nall the
moral and physical elements involved
in the circumstances of his employment
If this country is to be the snug
narbOr for those who are at a disad-
vantage in the markets of the world
why should it not also by the conven-
lent method Of combination, be a refuge
for those who are also at a diSadvan-
tage in the markets Of America itself
Are there not evidences that it has
become just that? Have not great com
country brought about just such a re-
suit? OF a dozen mills or factories
brought together in a single trust or
combination, there is always a very
considerable variety in the sO-caIIed
cost Of production. In some the ma
chinery has not been brought uD to
date; the plant is not built in a way
to lend itself to the most efficient
methods Of production; the market Is
not quite so accessible; the source OF
raw materials is more difficult Of ac-
cess Again and again il has happened
that after the combination was effected
the less efficient factories and mills
were closed down and only the more
efficient continued in operation; but
the business as newly constituted had
to carry the cost Of the original merger
Of the Inefficient mills and factories
They were probably put into the com
bination at a figure greatly exceeding
their real value.
we are rich enough. we are safe
enough in our prosperity, we are sure
enough Of our capacity, Of our skill
Of our resOurcefulness to set ourselves
free at last. We are ready now in our
majority to return to the uses of gov
eminent Of which the mature can an
prove. Taxation must never be used
for the benefit of some at the expense
OF others. The power of the govern
ment must never be loaned to those who
can not sustain themselves The only
legitimate object Of taxation is revenue
for the support Of the government"
