ton. There was much for woman
to do about the Streightiff home and
she remained to do it. Robert A.
Streightiff, the boys father, became
attached to his sons nurse, fell in love
with and married her. This was in
December, 1912.
A few months later Mr.. and Mrs.
Streightiff decided that they would
bring little Mary Alice to her new
home. They wrote to the Snyder FAM
lily to this effect. But in the meantime
the Snyder's had become attached to
the little girl and-they refused to
give her up.
Start Fight For Child
Mr., Streightiff and his wife than in
stituted legal proceedings to get the
child. Streightiff Is carpenter in the
employe of the Pennsylvania railroad
and owns his own home in Valley
street. Marysville. He is also active in
church circles. Their lawyer thought
they would have little trouble in get
ting possession. of the child.
writ of habeas corpus was grant
ed and a hearing held. Judge Seibert,
however, ordered the child remand
ed to the custody of the wealthy con-
tractor for one year, but giving the
plaintiffs the right to renew their ap-
plication for possession of the child at
the end of this time.
The writ was renewed recently and
Wednesday was the day set for a
hearing. Little Mary Alice was in
court and saw her mother for the first
time within the year. While the lawy-
ers argued the legal points of the case
the little girl sat opposite her mother.
At the conclusion of the lawyer s
plea she drew a sigh of relief and
leaned back. She seemed satisfied
that the judge would give her back
her daughter. AS the judge began to
speak she looked across the room to
where her daughter sat and smiled.
Evidently she had misunderstood the
judges words With a happy little
cry she sprang across the room and
gathered the child into her arms, kiss
ing her many times. Only the mother
had failed to hear the judges words
and no one wanted to tear her from
her child. The wealthy contractor,
however, rose and beckoned to a court
attendant. The attendant touched the
mother. Gently as though his duty
was distasteful to him. he told her she
must give up her daughter-that the
judge had said so.

is unconvinced of the legality of the
, judges decision and believes that she
will yet be able to secure the return
of her daughter from the wealthy con-
tractor.

But, Mrs. Streightiff." she was in

[From the New York Sun. ]

Among many costly thoughts on view
in the national Democratic platform of
1912 this is still precious
1.-THE high cost of living is a serious
problem in every American home. The
Republican party, in its platform, at
tempts to escape from responsibility
for present conditions by denying that
they are due to protective tariff. We
take issue with them on this subject
and charge that excessive prices result
in large measure from the high tariff
laws enacted and maintained by the
Republican party"
The high tariff laws have been laid
low. The citadel of protection has
been blown up. The sin stained sur
plus provided by the Payne-Aldrich
tariff of iniquity has been transformed
into an honest, virtuous and a wax
ing deficit. American manufacturers,
fattening in stupefying ease under the
old wickedness, have had their noses
turned to the grindstone by Congress
and an administration eager to edu-
cate, improve and reform the dull
witted beneficiaries of protective greed
These have not been equal to or CRATE
full for their educational privileges
They see the export of manufactures
and the import of manufacturers ma
terials .dwindling,. They, see, American
industrial production shrink. Their
wits seem not to have been increased

Two Ounces Of Flesh: or the Promise Fulfilled

by the competition to which the Adam
Smith of Warp Twisting-in, the Hon.
William c. Redfleld, so ,yearned to
subject them. Yet Washington dis
patch in Mondays Sun contained this
triumphant vindication of the tariff and
the Democratic method of lowering the
cost of living:
"Meantime the talk about increased
supplies of food and reduced prices
through removal of duties on foodstuffs
Is making manifest its real qualities.
The records of the six months show an
importation of S3,000,000 pounds of
fresh beef in that period or about two
ounces a month for each individual In
the United States.
"The official records of the Depart
ment Of Commerce show that prices 1T
which the importation occurred were
more than 80 per cent higher in March
under the new law than in September,
the last month of the old law, while in
many other of the articles on which
duties were reduced, the prices abroad
were promptly advanced"
Two ounces of beef a month. twenty
four ounces of beef a year for every
man, woman and child, an amount not
ably increased when allowance is made
for babes, sucklings and vegetarians.
What more can any country ask? Ii
foodstuff prices are up, is 1t because
people are better and therefore hun i
grier under the Democratic administra :
tion?

The Straw Vote
Friends of the Judge say that the
straw vote on the judicial situation
taken by a Philadelphia newspaper
counts for little as indicating the real
situation, but they see much to en-
courage them in it's rather indefinite
and altogether inconcluSive results
There is an old story that Themis-
tocles successfully led the Grecian
army against Xerses the Persian, and
that after the battle was over all of
the Greek officers met and decided by
ballot to whom the most honor was
due for the victory. When the ballots
were counted 1T was discovered that
each officer had voted for himself as
deserving the highest honor, but that
every one had voted for Themsistocles
as second.
