Now what has been the fulfill

"The Democrats, under the leader

al once to the speedy enactment OF
such legislation that would make eff
fective these campaign pledges.
The passage of the Underwood
Tariff Bill was complete fulfill
ment OF the Democratic promise to
revise the tariff downward. The
Underwood Tariff Bill was framed IN
strict accordance with the true Dem
ocraiic idea of tariff reform, and IS
the best tariff law ever placed upon
our statute books, but realizing that
the continual agitation of tariff rates
by Congress might from it's very I'M
certainty embarrass or disturb bust

be the necessities along this line af-
ter the great conflict now raging on
the other side of the Atlantic should

caused to be enacted law providing

with full powers, is one of the great
est acts of the present Administra-
ton. The tariff is a business propo-
sition and ought to be forever re-
moved from politics.
Under this Administration Con-
gress passed as supplemental to the
Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton
Act, and also the law for the crea-
ton of the Federal Trade Commits
sion. These were designed to reduce
uncertainty in the law relating to
combinations and to be helpful in
business enterprises.
The insistence of the present ad-
ministration that trusts and other
combinations in restraint of trade
shall be dissolved, not merely in
form, but in reality, has cleared the

Langdaie, member OF the Easton

killed in his Office today by his son,
Bryan l-aaSsCale, aged about 20
ears.
! ~ 1i-n..es before the tragedy
occurred Mr.. LaEgdale had been on
the street talking 10 Henry Burrows,
who was passing, and had just re-
tuIneQ 10 MS o4dcc When the explo-
sio1 of the gun was heard. MIR. Bur-
rows called Vaughn Smith, who was
sitting OF his porch hear by, and
they rushed into the office and found
Mr. LangGa:e iylng On the floor with
blood loWIus from a gunSAo6 wound.
When they entered Bryan was stand
ing against the wall, apparently as
cool and collected as if nothing had
aiken place.
Mr.. Langdaie family said, ..Henry,
Bryan has shot me-" They picked
him up and started to take him to
the hospital, but DR.. Palmer and the
| Rev. 3. f. Ruley, who had come up,
had him taken back into the Office
and the doctor tried to stop the flow
OF blood. Whi.e bending over him,
DR.. Palmer asked: Was it an acct
dent?" Yes, yes" said the dying
man. He vas then placed in an au-
tomobile truck and taken to Elmer
gency Hospital, Where he died a few
minutes after being admitted.
When his mother entered his room
at the hospital, it is reported, she
shid to her son, Bryan, Bryan, what
have you done?"
1T is the pest thing for him. the
son is alleged to have replied.
Sheriff Stevens and Chief of Police
Cannon later went to the home of
Mr.. Langsdale. When they entered
! they saw Mrs. Langsdale with her
arms around her sons neck, weep
ing He was taken from her and
placed in jail. He seemed uncon-
cerned and laughed while being tax
en- to the jail.
States Attorney Charles J.. Butler
visited young Langsdale in his cell
this afternoon. The youth is said to
have admitted shooting his father
and expressed no regrets. He is
quoted as saying:
L had been thinking over killing
my father for day or two. 1t was
question whether L would commit
suicide or take my fathers life.

and l went to the barn this morning
to take it, but changed my mind. |

went to the room back of the Office
and waited until father came in.
When he entered I went to the door
between the two rooms and when ia
theirs back was turned l fired.
Father injected bad blood into
my veins and made me bad man.
l had q spell of insanity last spring. .
coroner's jury, with Mayor M. b.
Nichols as foreman, was summoned.
After viewing the body adjournment
was taken until tomorrow, when the
inquest will be held.
Young Langsdale is believed to be
insane and his mother, it is said, has
heen uneasy for sometime, fearing he
would commit some rash deed when
in one of his fits of melancholy. This
morning she warned her husband
that he had better keep an eye on
Bryan or the boy would do him some
harm. The father laughed it off.
Bryan told w. Mason Shehan who
visited the boy in Jail at Mrs. Langs-
dale's request, that he deliberately
shot his father and had no defense
to make and was ready to take his
medicine.

Compliment to L. s. Diplomacy.

Compliment to L. =. diplomacy.
Paris, May 10.-Great prominence
; is given by Paris newspapers this
morning to the latest American note
to Germany, replying to the German
communication respecting submarine
warfare. The American note is call
ed masterpiece of diplomacy.
The Matin says:
1T must be clear to all neutrals
that Germany has suffered an unprec-
edented diplomatic defeat. 1t would
be interesting to see how the Ger
man government explains to the peo-
pie that it has consented radically to
modify submarine warfare without
obtaining the slightest compensation
in exchange"
An important point to be noted in
regard to the American reply, accord
ing to the Petit Parisien, is that it
ignores the allusion in the German
note to the chancellor's two declara-
tions in the Reichstag in regard to
peace negotiations. This paper says:
of Emperor William desired to
catch President Wilson in the trap
the emperor is caught in his own
tolls. He has met his master. There
remains nothing for him to do except
either to accept the American note
at the risk of loosing the fury OF the
German governmental parties or to
take upon himself the initiative in
bringing about a rupture which would
entail serious consequences for Ger
many"
