INSISTS UPON REVOKING
TREATY WITH G. BRITAIN.
Senator MARITIME Declares Panama
Treaty Interferes Too Much With
American Rights.

Senator MARITIME Declares Panama
Treaty Interferes Too Much With
American Rights.
Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Mar
tine today urged the senate to recon-
mend repeal of the Hay-Pauncefote
Panama treaty with Great Britain, on
the ground that it interferes with too
many American rights. He said he
had received many protests that the
tariff bills 5 per cent shipping rebate
was a violation Of the treaty's terms.
The senator added that. he preferred
a repeal of the treaty rather. than a
repeal of the 5 per cent, rebate in
the tariff law, and predicted that the
United States would have the best
Of the argument if foreign countries
tried to make commercial repFisalsl
because of the 5 per cent. rebate.
'If Germany should elect to try it
on us" said he, I'VE would shut of
her supplies of cotton, copper and
phosphates. To Great Brition we
would give the same medicine.
Should South America throw down
the gauntlet we could shut off their
coffee and rubber for a little while
and ruin would stare them in the
face. Japan needs our cotton, and be-
sides this We constitute her best mar
ket. No senator or citizen wants
commercial war or any other kind
of war, but other nations grant inn
portant favors to their industries, :

SHOOT Up
A JEW[LRY STORE
Two jewelers. Clerks Killed in
Grand Rapids, Mich.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 49,
Two robbers, with drawn revolvers,
entered the jewelry store of ]. J.
Thompson here early last night,
commanded the clerks to throw up
their hands and, when they refused,
opened fire. John A. Thompson and
Ed Smith fell dead and Paul Town
send was probably fatally wounded.
The bandits escaped.
The three victims were alone in
the store when the robbers entered.
Townsend, who was taken to local
hospital was able to tell the authori-
ties only few words concerning
the tragedy.
The clerks were placing watches
and jewelry in their cases for the
night when the men, masked. enter
ed and demanded that Townsend
the watch repairer, throw up his
hands. Townsend refused, tried to
grapple with the men and was shot
down. He believes that the other
employees then rushed to his aid and
were killed. The jewelry store is al
most in the heart of the business
district.

Chairman Simmons Of the senate
committee made this somewhat re.
markable statement in support OF
the iron schedule in the tariff bill:
1--WE have put pig iron and certain
allied products upon the free list.
There is no reason for duty upon
these products. That pig iron can
be produced as cheaply in this coun-
try as anywhere in the world is abb
established by the testi-
mony not only of disinterested wit
nesses but by the admission and
sworn testimony of the leading rep
of the iron and steel in
dustry." This amounts to admission
on the part of Mr.. Simmons that pig
iron would not have been put upon
the free list If it had needed protec-
ton. The chairman says there is
no need of tariff upon 1t because
it can be produced here as cheaply
as anywhere. But what has that to
do with the principle of levying tar

only fuss we ever had was over
them. Sally and Mary. Sally mar
ried a fellow who kept the meat
market. She has always lived in the
old town. She is fat and 40 and
then some. When you go back there
you will find that Sally is one of
the most contented women in the
world, though the meat market man,
who was the only man on earth to
Sally, lies in the cemetery and has
for the last ten years. Sally had a
lot of children. She stayed at home
and raised them. The little social
affairs in the little town satisfied
her. She was busy raising children,
helping little In the market and
keeping house. All her life she has
been contented woman and now
with three big sons and two daugh-
ters, all married and with children
of their own she is busy as a bee
bossing the whole bunch. There is
always grandchill or two visiting
gramma" at the house in town. One
of Rates girls is staying with her
and "going to school in town" and
Sans boy, the biggest one (Sam
runs the market now comes over
every morning to shake down the
furnace, carry out the ashes and
generally see that "gramma" is fix
ed UP all right. She lives what to
her is delightful life. She wants
to live forever. Living suits her.
Mary married a good man with
money. He was some older than. she
and belonged to the first families"
over in the big town. She never
had children. She is little and old
and wrinkled and cross. Her hus-
band died and left her rich and she
married again. The second is some
where out in Colorado. She lives
in town and has "maid" to attend
her personally. She has new maid
every few weeks and the outgoing
attendant swears she wouldn't live
in that house and with that old
woman If she was made of gold."
She goes to California and comes
back. Tries Florida and can't stand
1t. She says she hasn't anything to
live for and sometimes wishes she
were dead. Sometimes she comes ov-
er to see Sally, but she doesn't stay
more than a day. She can't stand
the young ones around under foot.
Well, that is all there is to the
story. If any woman cares to seek
a moral in it she is welcome to do
SO.

Representative Pepper says there
is lot of insincerity and demagogy
in the attacks on the legislative eau
Gus. Possibly Mr.. Pepper is judging
others by himself. He and every
other democrat OF consequence, have
been condemning caucus methods
for years, but just as soon as they
get power in congress they resort to
the caucus in coercing members to
support a thing which they do not
want to support. Mr.. Pepper de-
tends this action by declaring that
1t is necessary for party solidarity.
Here again he is going against DEM
ocratic preaching. Democrats for
years have been insisting that good
can come only when
country is placed above party, but
Mr.. Pepper is now placing party
above everything else. The progress
sive republicans of the country seem,
after all, to be the real and only
friends OF popular government
by the majority rather
than a government by the caucus.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
democrat, complained bitterly at the
refusal OF the caucus even to permit
him to present an amendment to the

Some critics Of the progressive re-
pubIicans who voted against the I'm
derwood bill seem to think that be-
cause the Payne-Aldrich law furnish
ed more protection than it should
that it is impossible to frame a bill
with too little protection in 1t. They
declare that the men in congress
who opposed the Payne-Aldrich law
are not sincere in opposing the I'm
derwood bill. Why not? If the I'm
derwood bill even approaches the
principle of a purely revenue tariff.
to which principle democrats pre-
tend to be devoted, it is too low to
give adequate protection to Ameri-
can Industries and every man who
believes in the American system is
fully justified in opposing it, no
matter what may be his views in re-
gard to the Payne-Aldrich measure.
Water, you know, may be too hot

The result OF the recent election
in Maine reveals the unpopularity
of former President Taft. The DEM
ocratic vote, compared with last
year, shows little change, while the
republican vote is doubled. There
was never national convention in
the history Of the country that de-
liberately nominated man for the
presidency whom the delegates nom
mating had no hope OF electing, ex-
cept the republican convention at
Chicago last year. The dominant
influences in that convention were
bound to control the party or see 1t
defeated at the polls, and they did
both.
1t was revealed at the special cleo
ton in Stanhope a few days ago,
held for the purpose of voting upon
the proposition to install waterworks
and to issue bonds therefor, that the
women know more about voting
taken as a whole-than the men.
The vote didn't reveal one woman
bonehead, but four masculine voters
who are entitled to that distinction
undertook to express their senti-
ments at the polls. The four voters
in question voted for the waterworks
but against the bonds. AS it would
be impossible to get the waterworks
without the bonds the proposition
would have been lost had not the
women come to the rescue.
