The Republican politicians are max

The Republican politicians are max
ing campaign speeches, charging the
lack of customs collections to the re-
vised tariff. The most ordinary citi-
zen has brains enough to know the
tariff can not bring any revenue unless
goods are imported. Foreign countries
are not shipping in any goods worth
mentioning now, as everybody knows
A tariff as high as a sky scraper car
not produce any revenue If the articles
are not imported. These stump speak
ers are not pointing out the fact that
we are making enough of almost ev-
erything we need in this country for the
present and keeping our money at
home. There was never bfore so much
money in the United States.

"MAsoNIc DOCTOR" JAILED.
Bridgeport Waits to Claim Him After Arlington Jail Turns Him Loose.

It will be @ quiet summer for Leo- pold Keller, the Masonic doctor" self styled. who has for several months past been roaming the country and seeking what Masons he could deveur When he finishes a two months term in the Arlington, Mass, jail he will be received with open arms by the Bridgeport authorities and given an- other much needed rest.
 Keller, whose swindling career was ended in Springfield, Mass, about two months ago when he received a jail sentence, is now the guest Of Middle sex county, Mass, for two months. Keller was first arrested in Spring field and received a jail sentence on a larceny charge. Immediately after his release there he was arrested for the Arlington, Mass, police. who promptly escorted him to their part of the state. Sentence of 90 days on each of two counts were imposed Friday.
 Keller worked his clever game in many cities. He opened offices andase- cured a list of candidates who wished to join the Masonic order. He told them he was an official examining physician and that 1t would be to t1eir advantage to have him examine them If he pronounced them sound, there could be no doubt of their admission to the order. Complaints about Kel- ler's work have been made in a num- Der of cities.
