SOCIALISTIC LEADER
TO EXPOSE GOVERNMENT
Benno M. Seibold Blocks Proceedings
at Meeting with Attack on
District Administration.

By indulging in wholesale condemna-
tion of the District government, Benno NJ.
Seibold blocked the adoption Of a party
program by the District Socialists in an
nual convention at the Pythian Temple
last night. Mr.. Seibold's denunciation
came at the end of a long contest over
amendments to the constitution of the
District organization.
Among its provisions, this platform de-
manded universal suffrage for the Dis
trict, representation in Congress and the
control of the citizens over municipal af-
fairs. II was the vanity of these provi-
sions that brought Mr.. Seibold to his feet

ring, the gas, telephone, and all other
corporations. Such proposals are being
made to throw sand in the eyes Of the
people,
Mr.. Seibold inferred that Congress was
a party to wholesale robbery OF the peo-
pie OF Washington. Mr.. Seibold asked
that a special meeting be called, so
that he could explain just what kind
OF government the present one Is.
With the decision to meet next Mon
day in their new headquarters, Sll E

position by Mr.. Seibold of just how

ment is, the convention adjourned with

COMPROMISE ON COTTON
FUTURES EXPLAINED BY
A CONFERENCE MEMBER

So much Confusion exists throughout
the country on what is known as the
Clarke cotton futures amendment to
the pending tariff bill that yesterday
Representative Claude Kitchin of
North Carolina, one of the conferees
on the part of the House on the tariff
bill, was asked for a statement re-
garding the matter.
He stated that the proposition intro
duced by Representative Underwood
really is based upon the principles of
the measure introduced in the Sen
ate at the last session of Congress and
reintroduced at this session by Sena-
tor Smith of South Carolina. Mr..
Kitchin said that the Underwood prop
osition was simply a modification of
the provisions of the South Carolina
Senator's bill to such an extent as to
get all of those concerned into agree
ment

had appeared before the conference COM
mittee; Senator Clarke, of course, in
favor Of the Clarke amendment and Sen
ator Smiths argument was in favor of
the principles OF his bill. as embodied
in the Underwood bill introduced the
following day.
while the amendment" said Repre-
sentative Kitchin, lis not absolutely sat
isfactory to all, il is accepted by all
Of those who opposed the Clarke amend
ment and by those who want some real
legislation on the subject which will be
proper. While 1t is known as the ad-
ministration amendment il is a vindica-
ton of the principles for which the Sem
ator from South Carolina has been con-
tending and an embodiment of them. The
House conferees were inclined to the
views as expressed by Senator Smith
and as embodied in the Underwood bill. -

Owner on Board Yacht.

An automobile belonging to Joseph C.

abandoned last night on the Canduit

A passing automobilist called up police

number is 1S090." By the number it was
found to be the property of Mr.. Letter.
The police called up by telephone the
Letter residence. Mr.. and Mrs. Letter

to the police he was aware the machine

The housewife can tell by perusing
this column just what the new Demo-
cratic tariff does to the products in
which she is concerned This has TO do
with practically everything that goes on
the table, as well as other articles OF
leveryday necessity.
The housewife will be disappointed II
she expects to find that the commodities
that go into the market basket are all
admitted duty free. The duties on prac-
tically all food stuffs are reduced, but
few are admitted without payment OF
duty. II high duties tend to increase
the cost of living, then food prices
should drop as soon as the Democratic
, tariff becomes effective, because the
Democrats, so far as food stuffs are con-
cerned, slash rates right and left
When the Democrats began to tinker
with the tariff. they proclaimed their
purpose to give to people a free mar
ket basket" Various reasons of ex-
pediency prevented such a consumma-
tion. In some cases the Democrats were
impeIled to put duties on food stufis in
order to raise revenue, and in others
they found that certain interests would
be injuriously affected IL the customs
doors were thrown wide open.
But the rates of the principal necessi-
ties are either reduced or the products
free listed. while the duties on luxuries
are, as a rule, boosted.
Here is a list of articles of everyday
necessity, representing both food and
raiment, the first rate representing that
of the present law and the second that
of the new law:
| Sugar-4S.5 per cent-Free after March /
| 1914
I Tea-Free-Free.
| Coffee-Free-Free.
| Salt pound-7 cents-Free.
Breads per cent per cent.

A GOOD MAN

"HE papers are saying mighty
nice things about Gunnar B.
= Bjornson, editor of the Mime
ota Mascot and member Of the leg
islature. The Dawson Sentinel seems
to have started it when it sprung his
name for the Republican nomination
for the governorship, and at the close
of a strongly laudatory paragraph
said:
In proof of his popularity, fifty
leading Minnesota newspapers
will quote this paragraph next
week. See if they don't.
The only trouble with this estimate
is that it was too low.
The papers can hardly say things
too pleasant about Mr.. Bjornson.
He'd be rather hard to pronounce,
but very easy to take as candidate.
If he were prevailed upon to run he'd
be an awkward candidate for anybody
to tackle, this young man with the
sympathy of woman, the mind of a
poet and the brain and courage of a
man.-Duluth Herald.

THE OLD BOYS

IN the Gettysburg battlefield
I have gathered hundreds Of
~ Old Soldiers, the remnants OF
the vast armies mothered by Ameri-
ca years ago.
It takes nobility and unselfshness
to make soldier of a fiery youth. It
takes a clearer-sighted nobility and a
broader unselfshness to bring two
foes together, no longer as foes, but
as Friends.
The Confederate veterans are prov
ing themselves natures noblemen.
There is no glamor of past victory to
take away bitter battle-memories for
them. They have only the knowledge
of having given all they had for a lost
cause, and only the bitter memory of
defeat.
But with the courtesy only known
to the Southern gentleman, they have
put all this behind them to clasp
hands with their erstwhile foes, and
make the Gettysburg semi-centennial
period, not of regret but of rejoicing.
Hats off to the wearers of the Gray,
to the loyal hearts too big to be en-
Uttered by defeat, too manly to be
anything but patriotic, too American
to remember!
The honor done by the Northern
veterans to the defeated South is
beautiful indeed. 1t is impossible that
they could have more fttingly shown
that beauty and grace of character
which knows no touch of the superb
ority of the victor, and takes from the
vanquished all sense of ignominy be-
cause of defeat,
We honor, throughout this country
today, the Bluecoats too proud to
humble a defeated foe, too big-heart-
ed to remember the cost to them
selves, too generous to glory in the
victory won at SO great cost to 9TH
ers.
1t would be interesting to know
just what these men, gathered to-
gether on great battlefield" think
of the government which they offered
their lives to protect. That it has
been worth while their loyal hearts
will not doubtful, after all, has it
not failed them in many things, has
not their ideal suffered at the on
slaught of graft, intrigue and those
national troubles we have not settled
by war?
The United States can never COM
pensate the soldiers of the North and
South for having reunited severed
land-at least not in personal COM
pensation that will repay individuals.
But the broader compensation of a
clean government for their children's
children, a patriotism which knows
only the mastership of public welfare,
Nation of Men-so much it is poss-
ible for US to do.
