THE TARIFF ONCE MORE.

For some two years it has been
conceded that the issue in this cam
paign would be that of the tariff. 1t
has been the chief issue in congress
for the past four years. The DEM
ocratic party announced that it would
make the tariff the paramount ques-
ton and the Republican party will
lingly accepted the issue.
1t will be remembered that from
1888 to 1892 tariff was the main is
sue and in the campaign of 1892 the
Democratic party chose that issue as
leader and went before the people
preaching the doctrine of low tar
iff. 1t has been a long time since
the people had had low tariff and
many were led to believe that the
free trade policy should at least be
tried in this country if for no 9TH
er purpose than to disprove the theo-
ry of the free trader.
Accordingly the two old parties
went into the campaign of 1892 with
everything but the tariff side is
sue. The matter was discussed II
every nook and corner of the Unit
ed States with the result that Gro
yer Cleveland won a victory for tn

VERDICT In DARROW TRIAL
EXPECTED SATURDAY

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. 49,
with the conclusion of District At
torney John d. Frederick's argument
to the jury today in the trial of C. S
barrow, the Chicago attorney, un-
der indictment for bribery of the
Mcnamara jurors it is expected
that Judge George w. Hutton would
at once read his instructions to the
jury and that body would retire to
deliberate upon the verdict late this
afternoon.
More than 200 instructions to the
jury were handed to the court by
both the prosecution and the defense
and while it is not expected all of
these will be considered it was learn.
ed that the courts instruction will
be lengthy, probably two hours will
be consumed in the final instruc-
tions.
The possibility of a verdict is that
one may be reached some time TO-
night, and various comments by
those connected with the trial anti
cipate report before tomorrow.
Il know the crowd, in way / love
them, in way despise them. l
know the unreasoning, unthinking
mass, l have been their idol and
have gone down in the depths of the
valley to hear them hiss at my
name-this same mob But | have
summed up such diversion and such
courage as God has given me and
have gone on my path" Thus Dar-
row tearfully pleaded his innocence
before the jury yesterday afternoon
in describing the Mcnamara crowd.

BECOMES A NATIONAL ISSUE

Although the Republicans and the
Democrats had practically decided to
contest this year on the tariff, mat
ter that has been forced on the peo-
pie by the progressive party may in
some sections of the country side
track the main issue. This is the
woman suffrage question. During
the last few years this question has
been growing in interest and six
states have granted to women the
full right of suffrage, while in about
dozen other states the question of
changing the state constitution SO
that women may vote has become the
leading issue.
Roosevelt saw that the progress
sives are not in favor of free trade
and yet not in harmony with the
present tariff law. He no doubt saw
that the suffrage question was one
of coming interest in this country
and caused the progressives to go
record in their national convention
in favor of woman's suffrage in this
country. 1t will be remembered that
the old parties had already adopted
their platforms and now have no
chance to go on record in favor Of
the suffrage question as national
issue.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-08-19

The Democrats at once saw the
predicament and in order to meet the
situation have planned to send out
noted Democratic women who will
speak for Wilson and also the wo-
mans suffrage question. The Re-
publicans have taken no stand on the
question and it will likely treat the
matter as local issue rather than
to consider it national issue. 1t
is generally conceded that Roosevelt
led off on one of his wise plans when
he took advantage of the other par
ties who had not suspected that the
question would be considered nation
al in its scope.
Evidently the Bull Moose candidate
saw that he was making a double
movement when he decided to make
the quest on a national issue. One
was the bringing of the influence
of women to the party and the other
was the building up of campaign
fund.
"A majority OF the people OF the
United States are perhaps not in ia
vor of women voting, but the suf-
frage question has been gaining re-
cognition in all parts of the United
States at such an alarming rate that
many have come to believe that with
in few years women will vote in
practically every state in the union.
The progressive party taking up
this all important question at this
particular time may be able to gain
some prestige among the suffragists
where the people are in favor of it,
but will no doubt sustain loss in
states where the sentiment is strong
ly against women exercising their
privilege of voting.

WILSON TALKS TO 1000

SEAGIRT, N j., Aug. 16.-Gov-

900 New Jersey farmers at a picnic
at Washington park, Westville, on
the campaign, chiefly the tariff as
applied to them. He told the farm
ers that they had received less CON
sideation from the government than
any other class and suggested that
they break into their own house and
live there. "And, | want you to in
vestigate the character of the tenants
who have been occupying it," he
added.

few peope have been living in it and

money to permit them to live in our
house," he concluded.
He called for the awakening of
the farmers throughout the country.

FAMILY DIED OF POISON

The daughter died last night in

by beef soup. Dir. Blutz believed for
a time that the bone and meat from
which this soup had been made be-
came tainted before being used. The
soup was made in an enameled ket-
tie.

EVILS OF FLIRTING.

There are too many flirts. So
says Rev. J. A. Holmes, a Methodist
preacher at Hutchinson, and if the
divorce evil is to be checked the flirts
must be suppressed, he AYERS. Rev
Mr.. Holmes delivered an address on
the divorce problem. He emphasized
the evil of filtration as one of the
: main causes for rapid increase in di-
vofces in the United States as follows:
Lack of proper training and teach
ing in the home.
False standards of society
Fast living and pleasure craze.
Child marriage. People marrying
before they are old enough to count
the cost.
Civil and contract marriages.
Loose and faulty marriage laws.
Easy divorce laws.
Immortality and the double stand
ard for men and women.
Nasty marriages.
Forced marriages where crime has
been committed, the courts dismissing
the case against the offender pro-
viding he marries, which is only a
cheap way out. The next step is to
the divorce mill.
"And what is the remedy?" inquir-
ed Mr.. Holmes. He answered his own
query submitting the following:
"First-Better home training and
teaching.
"Second-Secure uniform marriage
raising the age of consent equal
to men.
"Third-Secure uniform marriage
laws.
"Fourth-Make it hard to secure a
divorce. At least six months no.
tice should be required to file case
in court, and one year before it could
be tried. If granted, at least five
years should be required before the
innocent party could marry and the
guilty never.
"Fifth-The greatest remedy - pay
more attention to moral instruction.
Stop the cause of flirting both before
and after marriage. c."-Kansas City

same cause. The doctors are at q
complete loss, however, to explain
how any poison could have been pu,
IN the food or whether it was by in
tent or accident. None of the ply
sicians believe that the cooking OF
the soup in an enameled kettle had
any thing to do with the case.
Rev. Mr. Latzke is unable to solve
the mystery and declares that he has
no enemy in the world and knows of
no person who would wish to do eth
er himself or members of his family
harm. He says his family life was
most happy and that his wife was

CounciImen Birrell, Williams and

pose of reconstructing the health or
dinance recently passed by the Board
of Aldermen Field and Ogden and
acted on by the lower board, but in
consequence of the number of minor
amendments made by the Aldermen,
it was too fragmentary to be properly
considered by the Common Council.
Hence the object ofthe conference
comittee was to place it in proper
shape. The committee agreed to all
the alterations which had been made
to the ordinance by the Aldermen,
and it will be presented to that body
again tonight when they will doubt
less reconsider their former action and
adopt the measure as it shall be pre-
sented by the conference committee,
It will then be sent to the lower
board, but, under the rules that body
cannot pass it on the same night that
it is acted upon by the Alder
men: hence it will lie over. 1t is said

ell will be held during the next three
