POET SHOEMAKER" IS DEAD.

Philadelphia. - Frank Tiede,
known as the poet shoemaker, was
found. dead with a tube attached to
a gas jet and placed in his mouth.
Tiede tas a Master Mason, having
been a member of Hiram Lodge No.
% Of New York. He was for ten
years an officer of the United States
navy and after he served out his en-
listment he had worked at his trade
ever since. On the walls of his
shop and framed was this poem,
which he alluded to as his best eff
fort:
The shoemaker sang as he hammered
away
oh, who is as happy as | am today,
] saved twenty soles where the par
son saved one;
And | always heel where the doctor
heals none.
| sit on my bench like a Judge and |
boot
The people who say hat my measure
don't suit.
| cut all my uppers, | care not for
cate,
My very first pleasure each day is
my last;
I'm always mending while others
fall i'll;
And when I'm thirsty with cobblers
I'll never peg out for | always fill in,
For how can lose when I'm sheer
to win.
My goods are soled before finished
Can foot my bill without heaving a
sigh.
In fact, | am envied by great and by
For Of this worlds blessings alone
| have awl.

UNSCRUPULOUS CAMPAIGNING

As an instance of INSCRIPTIONS
campaign methods it would be hard
to match the statement given out on
Monday from republican national
headquarters, and purporting to
quote a Mr.. III. N. Townsend, to the
effect that manufacturers in this
country are insuring in Lloyd's
against the event of Wilson's cleo
ton and the consequences of a re-
duced tariff. The statement repre-
scented Mr.. Townsend as the New
York agent of Lloyd's.
Mr.. Townsend enters a general
denial. He did not make the state
ment. He did not authorize any
thing remotely resembling it. He is
not the New York agent for Lloyd's.
That insurance company has no
agent in New York. So much for
the comprehensive %inaccuracy Of the
statement itself.
However, the fallacy that demo-
cratic success will spell industrial
disturbance and industrial ruin will
be sedulously circulated by both the
opposition parties regardless Of the
truth. As a matter of fact all three
parties are committed to the prin-
ciple Of tariff revision downward.
The only difference between the po-
sitions assumed by Mr.. Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt and the position
assumed by Governor Wilson IS that
the former adhere to the principle
of a commission as an investigating
agency for the information of con-
gress. while Governor Wilson puts
nothing between that body and the
exercise of its constitutional power
revenue measures.
In his speech Of acceptance the
governor made it quite clear that
there would be no rough-housing of
schedules. His influence upon tar
if legislation may be decisive, and
will certainly be very great. Manu-
.facturers who are doing an honest
business and making only a fair
profit have no reason to be afraid
of his success. AS for manufactur-
ers of another class, they deserve no
commiseration. not even from the
republican national committee

A JEWISH NATION
Gradually the Israelites Return to
Ancient Palestine.

The fig tree of Jewish nationality
is poisoning forth once more in the
ancient land Of Palestine, many
Israelites going back to the land of
their fathers. What is remarkable
is their taking up OF land so many
Of them possessing the agricultural
regions their forefathers once pos
sessed. Just recently they have pur-
chased large estates in and about
ancient Hebron where Abraham
dwelt and they are going to engage
in wine manufacture and dairying.
There are 5000 Jews who are now
colonizing Palestine in q villages,
and own 31,635 hectares Of land.
Some Of the sections are adapted to
cane culture and in the jordan val
ley, which is very fertile, sugar cane
was planted centuries ago by the
crusaders and remains r still
found of sugar mills. The Arabs
are great hands for chewing cane,
and large quantities may be raised
just for such consumption, because,
with a crust of bread and a stick of
cane they often make a meal. Tween
ty years ago there were only 5000
Jews in Jerusalem, now there are
5000 housed in barracks outside
thu walls and many of these are en-
ployed in helping to bring back the
ancient land to its former state OF
fertility.

As a result of this inspection, the

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST %, 1912.
UNIQUE PHASE OF CAMPAIGN
OF 1912.

The presidential campaign Of
1912 will rank as one Of the most
unique in all the annals of the re-
public. This, not only because Of
the Unprecedented struggle for SUI
premacy n the republican party,
which has resulted in the strange
spectacle of a former republican
president running again for the Of
fee as the candidate of a new party.
against the president who was his
own choice as his successor, but
more especially on account of the
prominent part which women are
taking in the fight. While woman
suffragists have taken part in form
er presidential campaigns, even to
the extent Of running a woman for
president, yet their efforts then were
regarded as of minor Importance
and were treated almost lightly by
the men of both the great political
parties of the day. Now, however,
with no candidate Of their own in
the field, all recognize the fact that
the women may prove a most i'm
portant factor in the pending cleo
ton. With Unrestricted woman
suffrage in six states and a total
possible votes Of perhaps a million
and a half. all three parties realize
that the woman voter is to be
.:eckoned with. And so, as never
before, the women have become the
object of the ardent solicitude Of the
vote seekers.
The result is that, as never before.
the question of woman suffrage is
coming home to ~womankind all over
the country, and in those states
which hitherto have Jagged behind,
or evaded the issue-chiefly be-
cause so few Of their women have
wanted the suffrage-the issue now
threatens to force itself upon the at
tention Of both men and women
The court which l. being paid TO the
women voters by presidential can-
didates, even more than the adOp-
tion of a resolution ~favoring woman
suffrage by the Roosevelt party, has
brought the women voter into prom
inence, The latter might have peer
a mere compliment, but the former
brings the subject to the fore in a
very practicable and unmistakable
way. The indications can not be
misread. Those women who really
do not wish to vote. or who have
hitherto shrunk from assuming the
tremendous responsibility which the
right to vote must entail will be
forced before very long to meet the
question face to face. 1t Is coming.
and each state in which the amend
ment has no yet been submitted is
sure TO have to vote upon it sooner
or later. Al lover the country, the
press and prominent men are ex-
pressing themselves in favor Of
woman suffrage. if the women wish
it. II will be up TO the fair sex
themselves to say whether or not
they will have 1t. The campaign Of
1912 is fastening the day Of de-
cision.

H BAKED PEACH
Baltimore Dish Arousing Keen In
terest Among Epicures of the
Golden West.

Ohioans who attended the demo-
cratic national convention in BaIti-
more recently have brought back
many interesting stories of the good
things they found to eat while in
that city. Being a city of wealth,
with a climate conducive to leisure,
particularly in the summer. there
has been a high enjoyment of the
art of dining in that city. 1t was
that special development that
tempted and delighted many from
Ohio.
There are many who are talking
of the attractive qualities of the
crab meat that is found only in Bal
timore. There are others extolling
the peculiar virtues and appeal Of
the pies that are prepared in that
city. The sea food of all kinds
found many who grow eloquent in
describing it. And all these things
were worthy the attention that is
being shown them.
But what shall be said of the
baked peaches that were served there
that delighted so many Ohio people
while in the city In more than
one congressional district in the
state one may find many men who
grow eloquent in detailing the many
excellent qualities of this particular
article of food is reputed to possess,
And when two men who had the OPP
portunity of feasting on that deli
cacy foregather the meeting takes
on the nature Of a reunion, and the
talk becomes poetic.

Roscoe ConSlng, an attorney of New York city and nephew of the not ed lawyer and leading politician of the same name, who lost his life in the great city during the severe blizzard of 1888, arrived in Westerly Thursday night. Here he met diminutive de- tectfve who says he has been visiting several states in search of Mrs. Grace Dodds, who, with her husband and an unmarried sister, Miss Hewitt, has been at the Dixon house for the past six weeks and visiting Watch Hil all most daily. The party has not been in hiding here and MT. Dodds has been receiving mail daily and corre- spending with his office in Hartford. During the past summer the party have been in public hotels in New York, Philadelphia and Hartford, ana in no instance has an effort been made to conceal their identity. There fore the dimanutive detective will re- ceive no medal of honor for diStin- Su,shed service in this particular case.
 Soon after his arrival, Attorney ConklinE visited several of his Am- herst college chuns and upon recom- mendation of some of these, he en- gagged Samuel H. Davis as local at- torney in the case.
