Omaha, Sept 2S.--To the Editor OF
The Bee: / was glad to see your edi-
torial on the subject of the hard times
that prevailed after the Underwood
tariff bill was passed, and before the
European war commenced. Times OF
poverty and distress, which were
growing worse daily, and would have
eventually involved the whole country
if it had not been for the European
war making demands on US which
started all the factories going again
and gave plenty of work. .....
In this campaign the democrats are
continually talking about the great
prosperity of the country, but they
never acknowledge 1t Is because of
the war; their writings and their talks
imply that it is because Of the demo-
cratic administration. So far as / have
seen very little is being said by the
republicans to refute their implica-
tions and l wish they would say more
about it, because many people, espe-
cially on the democratic side, have
forgotten all about those hard times.
You probably remember, or you
could find by referring to your files,
how many unemployed armies were
marching from city to city in the west
and what trouble they caused the citi-
zens in their attempt to feed them and
try to keep them moving on. and the
fear in the hearts Of our officials of
what we would do when they reached
the Missouri river; the fact of Coxey
rising up again, and offering to lead
another army to Washington, etc.
l wish you would refresh our men,
ories by telling us how many men
were marching. and where and what
cities they, camped in or by, and what
dates. I believe 1t would be appre-
ciated by all republicans who realize
what the Underwood tariff law would
have done to this country If 1t had
not been for the European war.

 Be Captured

 ted suicide by shooting himself through the head with a .s2-caIibre
 Iver Johnson revolver at 10 o'clock yesterday morning in the lavatory of
 the Wright Hat company, 1903 Second
 avenue, north, in the presence of Cap tain of Police J. s. Johnson, who was
 attempting to arrest Norton.
 A. l. Gilbert, an employe of the Bir-
 mingham Railway, Light and Power
 company, recognized a suit of clothes
 Norton was wearing as a suit stolen
 from him few days ago. MT. Gilbert
 pointed out Norton to Captain Johnson
 as the man wanted. Norton ran into
 the Wright Hat company and without
 word to anyone, hurried to the rear
 of the store. It is q theory of the
 police that Norton believed there was
 rear exit, but was trapped when he
 found there was no rear door.
 A few seconds after Norton went into
 the hat store, Captain Johnson en-
 tered the store and asked if a man had entered. A clerk told Captain Johnson that there was no rear exit and he went to the rear to investigate Captain Johnson went into the lay atory, where he saw Norton and as
 he reached for his man Norton pulled 'the revolver and placed it to his left temple and fired and fell dead. The body was removed to the undertaking
 parlors of the Johns Undertaking com
 pany, where 1t is being held, pending funeral arrangements
 Detective Frank Macke has been assigned on the case to locate the dead
 mans relatives, and will appreciate any
 information which will lead to their whereabouts.
 It is alleged by the detective depart
 ment that Norton entered the residence of Leonard Button, 2020 Avenue G.
 early yesterday morning and stole $155
 in money and several articles of jewelry
 In the undertaking parlor officers searched Norton's clothing and found $l06 in currency and S5 cents in silver on his person. The suit of clothes worn by Norton was identified by A. L. Gilbert as his clothes The money found in his possession is believed by the officers to be that of Leonard Button.
 The dead man is said to be a printer and was formerly employed by the Progressive Farmer, but was without employment at the time of his death
