Let Jesse Alverson Beware.

Our young friend. Jesse NJ. Alverson.
of Lawrenceburg. has been sued for
one hundred thousand dollars damages.
Jesse said some things edlitorially which
the County Judge and County Attorney
of Anderson did not like. They have
taken advantage Of his lack Of caution
about letting everybody know his
financial standing and demanded part
OF what Jesse has made since moving
into Anderson County some two years
ago.
There ought to be lesson in Jesse
Alverson's sad fate TO every wealthy
newspaper man. And that is. TO conceal
as much as possible his material
prosperity. Before he went to Ander-
son County Jesse Averson was As
slstant Clerk of the State Senate and
was not generally known to be
wealthy man. He had lived and worked
and spared for political position over
IN Shelton Sankey's town Of Stanford
and was pretty well known among the
Dig politicians. But that he was a
magnate, bloated bondholder a
malefaetor of great wealth, was not
known until the officials of Anderson
County whose feelings he had Injured
demanded for said injuries the princely
sum Of one hundred thousond dollars
II they get verdict in the courts il
VIII wipe out every cent Of Jesse's
profits for at least year and maybe
for year and a half. And IL he
escapes with whole skin let him
beware hereafter how he carelessly
permits his prosperity to become public
property. Between suits for libel and
clashes with the back tax collector he
stands chance of losing his entire
fortune II not the excellent reputation
he had before entering the newspaper

Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas
retires from the U. S. Senate by
voluntary resignation, disappointed and
disgruntled. He entered congress from
Texas about twenty years ago and soon
demonstrated his superior intellectual
attainments. He was the idol of his
party and trusted leader. He soon
forsook the people and became the
representative of the privileged
interest in Congress- He has often
received the severest criticism by his
party associate, and was unable to
retain ths confidence of his constituents,
and leaves his place in the Senate with
little regret from any source. 1t is
said that he has am assed large fortune
during his stay in Washington, but we
venture the suggestion that it all
would not repay him for the loss OF
standing and confidence of his fellows.

Washington, Oct 27.-Will the new
tariff law cheaper the cost of living
to me?
If so, by how much? And when may
I I expect to feel the effect of the new
rates? Every citizen is asking those
Questions today And the answer
which the Democratic tariff experts
give is:
Don't figure on any great amount
of tariff saving this winter"
There is a mighty slim chance, they
say, that Mr.. Ultimate Consumer is
going to get his winter overcoat, his
suit of clothes, or his shoes any
cheaper this winter Next spring, Mr..
Ultimate Consumer, you may get IN"
on some of the tariff savings-maybe.
Reduced tariffs will not make things,
many of them, appreeiably cheaper
for several months. Democrats and
Republicans alike are unanimous on
this point. Foodstuff prices may be
cheaper-some Of them-within a few
months Briefly summarized, here is
the best judgment of men in Washing
ton who frame (and Fought the new
law:
Democrats predict and hope that
actual. tangible, dollars and cents re-
lief may result from the tariff revis-
ion downward within a few months
rot before. They admit the legisla-
ton is simon pure experiment.
Republicans generally predict ana
profess to believe that little, if any,
noticeable decreases in retail prices
will result,
Bear carefully in mind, the Demo-
Gratis say, that the new law is not
"cure-all" for the high cost of living.
1t is one of the important factors, but
only in that degree will it make liv-
ing cheaper After being in effect
since October 3, Mr. Common People
today isn't noticing that the corner
grocery or family clothing store has
cut prices because of the new tariff.
Here's the reason:
Not until wholesale and retail deal
ers dispose of stocks on their shelves

WHAT THE REDUCED TARIFF MEANS TO FATHER

(and purchasers consume) their
stocks of raw materials, all bought
when tariff duties were higher, will it
be possible for Nr. Ultimate Consum-
er to secure any tariff cut prices. La

Anyway, to the innocent bystander,
here is the situation today: Retail
ers, wholesalers and manufacturers
now have stocks which must be sold
without material loss if possible be-
fore they buy or make new material
at possibly reduced prices. They will
not sell lower until they buy lower -
if they can help it. Until they volun-
tarily sell lower, or do so because If

consumer through the new tariff law
is not going to hit a body blow to Mr..
HI Cost OLiving Within a year,
Democrats declare, prices will be
generally lower. Spring togs and
Easter bonnets for 1914 may be cheap
er. Downward trends in clothing al
ready are reported.
Estimated tariff taxes on imports
next year are $270,0OO,OO0, S41,OOO,O00
less than last year. This is the indi-
rect tax or tariff tribute" paid by
consumers. The saving for each Of
95,000,00 people would afford on its
face only 43 cents annually. But
greater gross national savings are ex-
pected. Also, Democrats believe for

HATE OIL,
CALOMEL AND PILLS
california Syrup of Figs" Best for
Tender Stomach, Liver, Bowels
TASTES Delicious.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do The children's revolt is well foun-
ded. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious "California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Missions
Of mothers keep this harmless 'fru;t
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails 20
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoon
full given today saves a sick child TO-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot
tie of "California Syrup of Figs
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware of
counterfeit sold here. See that it
is made by california Fig Syrup
Company" Refuse any other kind

New York to Try
Out Own Plays
By Beau Rialto
written for the United Press)

written for the United PreSs)
New Yirk, Oct. 1.-THE dog
towns" should look to their laurels.
If the latest Broadway scheme pans
out, New York will try out her own
new plays and it will be unnecessary
to send them out to the tank towns
to see how they go. a western man
ager. one Of the newcomers on Broad
way, who already has made other
managers sit up and take notice Of
his innovations, is the creator of the
latest idea, stock theater for the
exclusive production Of new plays.
Those who know him say that he will
carry it out, too
The plan is to have stock theater,
where nothing is put on but new plays.
No play that is a success shall be run
there more than three weeks. The the
ater will be equipped with a company
Of assured stars, all of them special
lists, actors and actresses who have
won distinction in playing every sort
of role. In return for the assurance
that the stock theater would not give
any play a run, other managers would
be asked to agree not to try out new
plays.
This would work out to the great
est advantage to actors, playwrights
and managers, according to the west
erner who is promoting the scheme.
Such a stock theater, with the cast
and scenery provided, could put on
first production at much less cx-
pense than could any individual man
ager, who would have TO hire a cast
and furnish the settings. The play
wrights would be benefited because
they would be assured that their work
would have the portrayal Of stars, the
best actors and actresses obtainablc
in every part. The actors would bc
letter off, because they would not be
iG danger Of giving several weeks
without pay to the rehearsal of a
piece that would fail within d few
days after its premiere. Actors pet
no pay for rehearsals, and If the show
fails, they are out their time and sal
airy.
