desperate attempt is to be made to
| throw the working man Of the country
II to a panic by paradins before them

But before they allow themselves to
be stampeded. the people should con-
! slider who are behind this old stand
pat argument against tariff revision
! downward Are the working men them
! selves doing 1t? Last falls election
| figures show that the working men Of
the country voted almost solidly for
the democratic party which was
pledged to make just the sort of tariff
revision that is contained in the Un-
derwood bill.
| No, those now melting the cry Of
i hard times and urging the long abused
public to reject the tariff revision be-
/ fore 1t is given a trial are the very
/ ones who have profted by the robber
] tariff rates Of the Payne Aldrich law.
Are they now SO concerned for the
| welfare of the working people when
during the sixteen years they have re-
sisted inch by inch the slowly sue
! cessful efforts Of organized labor to
make them disgorge some of the swol-
len profits they have been enabled to
reap BY iniquitous tariff rates.
The people should not be thrown
the first time in years the people have
It in their power to abolish the trust
fostering republican tariff, and the
peoples representatives, the democrats
in congress, are going ahead, undis-
turbed by the calamity Eow}ers.
AS a matter Of fact there will be
no business panie->>ilsed by the I'm
derwood tariff revision. Some busi-
nesses, perhaps, those grossly ineffi-
c;ent in their method, or existing under
artificial conditions may suffer on ac-
count of the new tariff rates, but their
number will be negligible.
Business, managed by capable men,
honestly striving to be more efficient,
cs mot be harmed by the tariff reduc-
tions. On the contrary. only good can
result. American wastefulness IS a
by-word to the manufacturers of the
rest Of the world. AS long as our
business exists behind an artif1cially
reared protection wall, this wasteful-
ness is bound to continue and the
people pay for waste in the cost of
living. Take away this wall and you
do away with waste while putting
premium on economy and efficiency
The Underwood tariff Will put Ameri-
can business on a healthy founda ton

Business men In congress are not

of Ohio. Is the proprietor Of a large

the consideration OF the tariff bill by
the democratic caucus he said to me:
Il just now voted for the Underwood

this means that we will be unable to !

Tale of Back Lot Baseball in
Proposed Pardon.
Governor Hodges May Turn
Loose "Buck" Weaver.
WELL KNOWN BALL PLAYER
With Louisville and in Kansas
Many Years.
Hodges and Seaton on OIathe
Team With Him.

Buck" Weaver, professional base
ball player and now a prisoner at the
Kansas state penitentiary. may re-
ceive pardon or parole at the hands
of Governor Hodges. Twenty-Five
years ago, Weaver, Governor Hodges
and Sam Seaton, parole clerk, were
all members of the Olathe baseball
team and now it is probable that the
Kansas executive will remember the
old associations and give Weaver a
pardon or parole.
There are few baseball players in
Kansas who are more widely known
in the state than is Buck" Weaver.
Twenty-Five or 80 years ago, Weaver
was one of the best all around players
in the state His services were always
in demand and he played as catcher
in many towns. Much of his time
was spent in Olathe.
In those days Governor Hodges was
several years younger than he is now.
And at that time Hodges was some
thing of a sensation an amateur
ball player Hodges played third base
for the O1athe nine and Sam Seaton
covered the territory around short
stop, while Weaver was the teams
backstop. There was a friendship as
result of this association which has
never been forgotten.
Later Weaver went to Louisville,
KY, where he was several years the
principal catcher for the Kentucky
that was several years ago. Weaver's
days in professional baseball are end
ed. He knew that he was losing his
old fire and speed and returned to
Kansas to become manager of the
Larned team in the Kansas state
league.
1t was when Weaver was in Larned
that he encountered his first serious
trouble. There was a little girl living
in Larned with whom WeaVer's name
was connected in uncom plimentary
manner and Is months ago weaver
went to Lansing to serve a term i'll
the state penitentiary for statutory
crime. Since going to prison, Buck
Weaver's old friends have been work
come to the governors office request
ing Weaver's parole or pardon. And
Same Seaton never makes a trip 70
the state prison but that he stops for
a few minutes to chat with the old
catcher about the national game. Re
Gently the judge who tried Weavers g
case, urged the governor to take an
tend him clemency.
At the prison, Weaver is still play
ing baseball Every Saturday after
noon he trOtS out on the prison dta-
mond, clad in a baseball suit, and
catches the game for the Cubs" one
of the teams in the prison league A
report of a recent prison game, as tod
by the Penitentiary Bulletin, relates
an incident of how Weaver hit the ball
SQuarely on the trade mark and drove
home the winning run in game
against the "Sluggers."
Now WeaVer's case is under serious
consideration in the governors office
that the old baseball veterans will be
a free man.

STAND BY SULzER
New York Democrats Defeat
Several Tammany Candidates.
Impeachment and Primary Re-
form Are Made Issues.

New York, Sept 1.-THE impeach
for direct primary reform played an
important part in the Democrat pri
maries in New York state. The gov
ernOr's friends maintained that these
issues were responsible for defeats
the regular Democrat organization
suffered in several localities. In Buff
falo and Rochester, the largest cities
outside of New York, the regular
Democratic organization which lined
up with Tammany Hall in the Sulzer
In Albany county, former State Com
mitteeman McCabe, clerk of the SEN
ate, a firm Tammany adherent, came
so near defeat that the party leader
ship may remain in doubt until the
official count. In New York city the
Sulzer issue was not apparent Only
one of the Democrat leaders was un
horsed and this contest was purely
local.
Sulzer'S threat to make the Demo-
crat assem- blymen smart for defeating
his direct primary measure was re-
called today when primary returns
showed that four of the assem- blymen
who voted against this measure and
for his impeachment were defeated
for denomination in Buffalo. All five
in Monroe county, which includes Ro-
chester, were defeated by the oppc-
nents of Tammany Hall. Only one of
Monroe's five representatives in the
assembly at present is a Democrat.
The primaries held by the other par
ties had no state wide feature to dis
tinguiSh them.

Three Trunk Line Railways in
England Are Stopped.
Seven Big Freight DepOts at
Liverpool Idle.
BIGGEST STRIKE IN HISTORY
Threatens Many Lines of Busi-
ness in British Isles.
Employers Challenge the Right
of Labor to Organize.

London, Sept. 17.-England is threat
ened with the most serious strike of
union labor in it's history, according to
union leaders here today. The trou-
bic began with the lockout of large
numbers of workmen last week in Dub
lin in consequence of a strike of trans
port workers because of the employ
ment of non-union 1aborers. Rum
bl1ngs of discomfort have since been
heard throughout the labor community
of the British Isles, but thus far erup-
tons have occurred only in the larger
cities.
The sympathetic strike of the Liver
pool dockers and of railroad workers
there and at Birmingham already has
stopped the three great trunk railways
serving the midland counties of Eng
land. The Manchester Ship Canal COM
pany also is contending with a strike
of dock laborers for better wages At
Liverpool seven of the great freight
depots We're idle this morning and 9TH
ers are likely soon to be closed for
want of traffic.
In Ireland, too, all attempts have
failed to settle the Dublin trouble,
which was the direct cause of the de-
velopment at Liverpool and Birming-
ham. The difficulty of getting provi-
SionS into the Irish capital has become
SO great that it is believed the mar
kets will have to close their doors.
1OiiNOii mas pSeI OHlS lHOlTectly az
fected by the strike on the railroads
in the midlands. The metropolis is
more directly interested in the threat
ened strike of motor omnibus drivers
because the employers refuse to allow
employees to wear union badges. The
men held a meeting today and passed
resolution in favor of a strike which
would tie up all the motor omnibuses
and tube lines in London. Labor MEM
bers of parliament declare that the
trouble in Dublin, London and else
where has been caused by the deter
mination of the employers to challenge
the rights of labor to organize.

SCHMIDT IS A THIEF.
He Robbed a Priest and Appropri-
ated the Easter Collection.

New York Sept. 1.-Two more
crimes took their places today on the
police record of Hans Schmidt, the
priest, who already has confessed be-
ing a murderer and a counterfeiter.
In ransacking Schmidt's rooms, de-
tectives found evidence that Schmidt
had stolen $40O from the Eastern col
lection at St. Josephs church and
that he had robbed a visiting priest
who spent the night at st. Joseph's s
rectory as a guest of the local clergy.
An empty purse found in Schmidt s
room prove dto be one the visiting
priest had lost not long ago.
Schmidt still insists neither Ernest
A Muret his dentist friend, nor
Anna Aumuller, the girl he murdered,
knew anything about his counterfeit
ing operations In reply to a written
question sent to his cell, he wrote:
Anna knew nothing of my plans
to solve the social question by Gre
ating money for all the poor people
here and abroad" Schmidt main
tains he made bogus money from
philanthropic motives only.
The police have not abandoned
hope of finding the head of the
AumuIler girl. Today they investi-
gated a gruesome tale about a soIi-
tary fisherman who hooked some
thing heavy last night in the North
river. AS the supposed catch was
nearing the surface it dropped off the
hook, leaving a long human hair,
said to resemble in color the hair of
Anna Aumuller.

PLATFORM COLLAPSES.
Sixteen School Children Hurt White
Posing for a Picture.

Poughkeepsie, Sept. IA school
room platform on which 800 children
were posing for their pictures today
collapsed and 16 of the pupils were in

The pupils were scholars at the
Poughkeepsie high school. Most of
the injured suffered fractured arms and
legs and will recover.
The platform on which they were
standing was 40 feet long and had been
erected an hour previously along side
the wall of the building. The entire
school body had been grouped by Su-
perintendent of Schools Shear and
Schuyler Fox, superintendent of the
high school. The pupils were looking
directly at the camera when the crash
came. Shear and Fox were standing
beside the photographer.
The platform folded up like a jack
knife half closed, the middle portion
sagging to the ground and the ends
remaining in their original position.
An examination of the platform show
ed none of the timbers had broken
but that the bolts used to hold them
in place had yielded to the strain. a
