English Papers Continue
Praise of President Wilson

LONDON, Oct 6.-The Daily Mail,
in an editorial this morning, thinks
that both the American people, who
anticipate a reduction in the cost of
living from the new tariff act, and
British manufacturers, who imagine
that it will open fresh and profitable
markets for their goods, are alike
destined to be disappointed, because
customs duties are only one of the
complex factors affecting prices, and
the duties will still be generally high
home market to American manufac-
turers.
The passage of the, bill. however, "
tional fiscal policy from the grip of
privilege, and proves that at times
the people really do rule"
The Unionist morning papers, com
menting on the signing of the tariff
bill. take pains to explain, as the
Morning Post phrases it, that it is
absurd to pretend that the Democratic
policy has any connection with the
tenets of Cobdenism," but are in full
agreement with the Liberal organs in
ascribing the success of the passage
Of the bill to the skill of President
Wilson.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Presi-
dent Wilson has played a winning
game with a force and brilliancy
which has won for him a reputation
more solid than any popularity en-
joyed by an American statesman for
fifty years past"
The Daily News says. America is
todav practically a free trade country
There has been no free trade achieve
ment at all comparable with this
event since Peel abolished the corn

Lally, Defeated, Gets Order
to Recount Hudson Votes

JERSEY CITY, Oct. GA recount
of the votes cast at the primary cleo
ton for the Democratic candidates
for freeholder is to take place before
Supreme Court Justice Swayze to-
morrow. An order to this effect has
been issued on the application of
James J. Murphy, representing George
F. Witt and William c. Knodel, the
two Wittpenn candidates who were
defeated by Harry Heller and Thomas
Lally, anti Wittpenn candidates.
The vote as announced after the pri-
maries was: Heller, H,545; Lally, &c.
230: Knodel. 12,S6S; Witt, 12,312.
Under the law all the boxes in the
county will have to be opened. The
cost of the recount will be $4,000 and
this amount has been deposited with
the county clerk.
Friends of Lally, one of the sue
cessful candidates, are claiming that
there is something suspicious about
the proceedings. The boxes and bal
lots and return sheets will be closely
watched and if there are indications
that either has been tempered with
since the primaries the Grand Jury
will be appealed to.

Prison a Taste of Inferno,
Says N. Y. Penal Systems
Head. PardOning Himself

AUBURN. n. Y. Oct. s.-Thomas
Mott Osborne, who. under the name
of Tom Brown" has been spending
a week in Auburn prison to study
the system from the inside, COM
pleted his bit yesterday after
undergoing the limit of punishment
inflicted on a convict in State insti-
tutions.
Mr. Osborne spent all the time from
8 o'clock D. m. Saturday until o'clock
a. m. yesterday in the dungeon for
refusing to work and, pale and nag
gard, with several pounds OF his
normal weight missing, he declared
the night in the dungeon to have
been a glimpse into the innermost
circle of the inferno"
The voluntary convict pardoned
himself yesterday afternoon and Is
now resting up preparatory to putting
hiss tudies into shape for his report TO
the State Commission of Prison Re-
form, of which he is chairman. He
said of his experience:
II am more than ever convinced
that the prison system is sinsularly
unintelligent, ineffective and cruel.
In many aspects the material wei.
fare of the convicts is we'll looked
after. l found the food Unexpectedly
good. the cells, while antiquated. are
clean and satisfactorily lighted at
night and the clothing is comfortable.
"It is not time yet for me to
formulate any detailed criticism OF
the present system. l must allow the
matter to crystalize, leaving many
thrilling and interesting incidents to
arrange themselves In their logical
order"

Popcorn as Cheap Food

WASHINGTON, Oct. Popcorn
for breakfast is Uncle Sans latest
advice to assist those who desire some
relief from the high cost of living.
Department of agriculture corn in
vestigation specialists declare pop
corn is superior, when properly pre-
pared for the table, to many of the
breakfast foods now on the market.
And $50 worth of popped corn in
the form of five-cent packages for
the market represents an outlay of
only about 81 or $3.50 for raw ma
terial, these experts say. This
amount of corn can be raised in a
garden 20 feet by 40 feet.
