PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Endeavoring to shield the Demo-
cratic party from some of the richly
deserved condemnation on account of
it's tariff legislation, the Portland, Ore
gon, Journal says that under the tar
iff commission "great industrial con-
Germs will know exactly how to plan
for the future Why will they? Is
it not the purpose of tariff commits
sion to investigate conditions and rec
ommend changes? If the commits.
sion spends year investigating the
tariff on sugar, will not every produc-
er Of cane and beets and every manu-
facturer of sugar be in suspense all
that time? Then, when a report has
been made to Congress, will there not
be the same suspense until law has
been enacted? Then won't there be
uncertainty as to the possibility of
the Commission taking the subject up
again? Is not the same true Of ev-
cry other industry that needs a pro-
tective tariff AS matter Of fact,
the only time great industrial con-
Germs could safely plan for the future
was Immediately after Republican
victory had resulted in the enactment
Of protective tariff law which the

DEUTSCHLAND GETS
PAST THE CRUISERS
Was Accompanied Almost to
the Line by a Newspa-
per Boat.
tBy Associated Press,


NORFOLK. Va, Aug. 3.-The Ger
man submarine merchantman Deutsch,
land passed quietly out of the Virginia
Capes at $3.50 o'clock last night on her
homeward voyage apparently unob
served by the Allied warship patient
ly waiting outside the three.mile limit.
She was accompanied to the capes
only by the tug Thomas F. Timmins
which had conveyed her down the
bay from Baltimore and by news
paper dispatch boat.
Her departure to sea followed an
eighteen mile dash through the lower
Chesapeake bay. After proceeding
slowly most of the way down she in
creased her power at $3.50 and reached
the capes just after dusk. None oil
the Allied cruisers was visible as she
passed through. Whether she sub
merged before reaching the three.mile
limit is unknown. The two accom-
panying boats only know that she dis,
appeared unharmed, and that to all
appearance she had clear f1eld ahead
to point where she could completely
submerge in safety.
Half an hour after the last light Of
the Deutschland had disappeared, the
Timmins seemingly satisfied with her
work, turned back and headed up
Chesapeake bay In the direction Of
Baltimore. During part of the day the
Deutschland had remained hidden at
cove Up Chesapeake bay. For sew.
eral hours before the beginning OF her
final dash she lay in secluded re.
treat near Langier Island, about fifty
miles above Cape Henry.

Went to His Death With
Firm Step and Cheer
fully.
DIED IN CATHOLIC FAITH
Irish Men and Women Pray
AS Prison Bell Announc-
es the End.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Roger Easement,
former British knight, was hanged at
nine o'clock In Pentonvile Jail for
high treason.
He was convicted Of conspiring to
cause an armed revolt in Ireland and
with having brought German aid to
that end. Three hours before the ex.
ecution a crowd Of men, women and
children gathered before the prison
gate. Twenty minutes before Case
ment mounted the scaffold the prison
bell commenced to toll. The sound
was greeted with cheers from the
crowd mingled with some groans. At
nine o'clock the crowd had swelled
to such proportions that 1t extended
for two blocks from the prison front.
At one minute after nine single
stroke Of the big bell announced that
the trap had been sprung. It was the
signal for7a~j ~jeering mocking yell from
the crowd which died away into dead
silence.
Easement met his death with calm
courage. Early In the morning two
priests OF the Roman Catholic church
administered the last rites In the cell
and shortly afterward little process
sion headed by the clergymen with
Easement following a warder on either
side. proceeded toward the execution
shed only FIVE yards away. The priests
recited the litany OF the dying Case
ment responding In low tones, Lord.
have mercy on my soul"
AS the party reached the shed where
the gallows was erected the special
eXecutioner, a hair dresser named Ellis
approached Easement and quickly pin.
oned him.. The two chaplains, the I'm.
der Sheriff OF London and the Under
Sheriff of Middlesex, then took up
their position in front OF the scaffold.
Easement mounted the gallows' steps
firmly and commended his spirit to
God as he stepped OH the strap. A
moment later the lever was pulled
An effecting incident took place outh
side the prison wallS as the execution
was in progress. At the back Of the
prison little distance from the jeer-
ing crowd about the gate was a group
OF about 30 Irish men and women.
When the dull clang of the prison
bell announced that the doomed man
had paid the last penalty, this little
group fell on their knees and with
bowed heads remained for some mo.
ments silently praying for the rcpose
Of the soul Of their deed fellow coun.
tryman.
Easement showed not the slightest
concern over his fate on the last
night. He ate we'll and chatted freely
and cheerily with two warders in HIS
condemned cell After hearty late
supper he divested himself for the last
time Of his convict's clothes and went
to bed. He was notified that he, would
be allowed to wear his own civilian
clothes for the execution but would
not be permitted to wear a collar.
All the members Of Of Easements
family were Protestants and he was
brought UP in that faith, but became
a convert to Roman Catholicism with.
In the last few weeks. On June 90, he
was registered as member Of Roman
Catholic church and since that timc
