WASHINGTON, July 31-The col
lection of royal decorations by Ameri-
can women of rank has become a fad
among the Yankee women of wealth
and social power who spend the great
er part of the year on the other side
of the Atlantic. In fact there are few
American women of prominence in
Europe who cannot boast the owner
ship of some sort of order or decora-
tion. In Spain and Italy and several
of the smaller countries these orders
are easily obtained. England, too, is
quite liberal in this respect, but to win
a decoration in Austria or Germany
is something really worth boasting
about. Mrs. Charlemagne Tower, wife
of the former United States ambassa-
dor to Germany, has been decorated
with the world famous order of Lou
Use by Kaiser Wilhelm, a distinction

SLEEPS ON BED
ON FRONT LAWN

On South Seventh street last
night several fair residents be-
came alarmed when they saw what
they took for a large white COW,
carelessly reclining on neighbor-
ing lawn. Some of the frightened
ones even asserted that they heard
the "cow" moo, and they were on
the verge of nervous prostration
until some of the more heroic of
the neighborhood investigated and
found that the COW" was not a
"cow," but a man who had moved
his bed out on the lawn in his
search for relief from the heat.
Whether the supposed "moos"
were snores or the evening pray
ers of the slumberer has not been
decided.

Senator Gronna's Speech.

Senator Gronna said in part:
THE tariff bill now under consider
alton has been framed by members
of a party which has proclaimed it's
belief that protection is unjustifiable.
AT the same time the spokesmen of
| that party have not followed their line
| of reasoning to its logical conclusion
and called for free trade, but have
| insisted that they have favored a tar
| iff for revenue. Whether they are
able to see a difference between a
| tariff when it is levied by party be-
lieving in protection and that same
tariff when levied by a party which
denies a belief in that policy, or
whether the denial that they favor free
trade has been made because they
| feared the political consequences, /
shall not undertake to say. Merely
| calling a tariff a revenue tariff does
not change its nature. Ii Is protective
! to the same extent whether found in
| an avowed protective tariff nature or
| in one alleged to be for revenue
| only.
Called Competitive.
SIT has been stated that this tariff
| bill is a competitive tariff bill, that
| these rates are competitive instead of
protective. l have not noticed. how
ever, that any one has undertaken to
explain just what competitive tariff
rate is. Most Of the rates in the pre-
! sent lay should be called COM
petitive as our imports show, for if
| H.
| no imports.
Il don't believe in legislating by
means of caucus. No one has the right
to surrender his views either to a
secret caucus or to any individual,
however prominent, as has been done
in the case of this bill.
81 don't see how the fact that a
party caucus has passed on that
measure can relieve a member of this
body from his responsibility, and 1
do not believe that the people of this
country will consider that it is.
Injustice to Farmers.
There is one feature of this bill
that is Immediately noticeable, and
that is its discrimination against the
farmers. Why it should be necessary
to cut the duties which may benefit
him lower than those that benefit
the manufacturer has not been made
plain by those responsible for this
bill; why it should be necessary to
remove the duties on his products,
while retaining duties on manufac-
lures has not been explained"
Senator Gronna declared the Dem
ocratic argument that the removal of
duties on farm products is going to
give the consumer cheaper food, was
a mistake in large measure. He said
that in discriminating against the far
mer in levying tariff duties the Demo
Gratis are adopting a policy not pur-
] sued by any other nation capable of
producing enough food for its own
people. He gave a detailed statement
of the duties under the present law on
agricultural products under the Wilson
law and under the proposed tariff bill,
showing that lower rates had been
placed in the present bill than in any
previous law. He said that while agri-
cultural implements TO a large ex-
tent had been placed on the free list,

The coal barons are responsible for

The coal barons have kidnapped Moth

them legal trial in. a court of law
before a jury of their peers and now
have them incarcerated in bull-pen in
West Virginia.
Readers, we are bound to fight to
rescue Mother Jones and her. comrades
from the bull pen of the coal pirates
and to re-establish constitutional gov
eminent in West Virginia.
1t is the sworn duty of President
Wilson and his administration to en-
force the constitution in West Virginia
and to protect the citizens of the state
in their rights under its guarantees. .
The Appeal to Reason hereby calls
upon the national executive committee
of the Socialist party to convene in
special session at once and to commits
sion duly accredited representatives
to call on President Wilson at the
white house and demand the enforce

mapping of our comrades and their in

violation of their rights Of citizenship.
In thus calling on the national exc

voice the demand of practically the
entire membership of the party. If

deemed insufficient to deal with this
situation, the entire national commit
