Now, 1t should be borne in mind
that the Republican party never
made a move against the tobacco
trust while the tobacco war was on
in Kentucky. The Governor of Ken
lucky did not even attempt to insti-
tue proceedings against the trust,
whose exactions we're rapidly max
rg anarchists out Of peaceful farm
ers, which robbed these farmers
right and left without benefit of
clergy, which offered them a price
for their tobacco sometimes under
the actual cost of production and as
sured them that they "could take it
or leave it," and that was true; there
was no other buyer. When the tobac-
co growers revolted against such
conditions the heavy hand of the law
was laid upon them, but not upon the
trust. "My troops" even were called
out to suppress violence caused by
the robbery of the farmers by the
trust, but not move was ever made
by the Republican administration,
State or national, to relieve the suf-
fering farmers.
Women and little children toiled
through the burning heat of July and
August to help the struggling hus-
band and father raise tobacco
crop. He was unable to employ any
other help. The trust took the crop,
the tears of the mother and the worn
children and their work having been
in vain, the prices frequently
to confiscation. 1t is little
they wanted to do themselves
what the government of their state
and nation should have done for their

HARD TO TRACE ITS DESCENT
Story of the Standard Yard and Its
Origin Must Be Accepted With
Some Reservation.

The picturesque story Of the rela-
ton between the length of Henry rs
arm and the standard yard which the
lord chancellor will disinter from the
walls Of Westminster palace Is one
we should all like to accept, writes
a correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian. But the historical stand
ards have changed so often that there
must be many gaps in the chain of
descent. II the yard and the pound
are as described they must be exact
copies Of the less romantic standards
of the board Of trade, which date from
no later than 1884. And why prosy
Victorians should have buried them in
a wall is hard to understand. The
Oldest standard in existence, so far as
/ know, is the yard Of Henry VII,
which should be In the Jewel house,
but as it has only 35.983 inches 1t Is no
longer good measure. Parliament had
standard troy pound and new yard
constructed In 1760. They were de-
posted with the clerk to the house Of
commons, but in the fire Of 1884 the
pound was lost and the yard injured.
This yard was then lost sight Of until
1891, when 1t was placed In the lobby
of the clerks residence, ogether with
a standard sstone'' OF IA pounds.

MARGARITE FISCHER
 AT THE COLONIAL

Margarita Fischer, the charming star who is at the Colonial today in her latest comedy drama, "Putsup Your Hands," is said by screen criticis to have hlm presence" about as good description as any for charm which cannot be pu- into exact words
 In her latest production this presence is said to be more keenly felt than Tn any of her pictures. She has the role or a vivacious American girl who scorns the conventional in an outlet for her energies. This is almost faithful DIG ture of the~star in real life.
 Aside from the highly sustained comedy presented in Put up Your Hands there are a number of novelties in the way or scenes. Miss Fischer's athletic prowess is disclosed when she installs gymnasi- um in an abandoned saloon, which has been converted into a haven of rest by the local temperance band.
 Tn this gymnasium she meets Bull Mon- tana in a boxing match, attired in most fetching little costume. When Bull picked himself up from the mat in this bout after the star had floored him with a swing on the Jaw, he was heard to mutter something about rather taking on Dempsey.
 With chara cteristic resourcefulness she later saves a young engineers mining property from her fathers scheming sec retary and proceeds to fall In loVe wti' the engineer There Is a surprise hnlsh when she forces the situation at the po1nt of a gun and wins husband.
 Miss Fischer has several popular players in her support, including George Periolat Emory Johnson, her leading man. Kate Price. Hayward Mack, Gordon Russell William Mong and others.

their guests. There were also a num- Der of out-of-town guests present.
 President Mercer Barnett, introduced Commissioner Burrus and Dr. M R. Baker as Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey respectively, and their de- bate on the proposed new county proved highly interesting. As the affair was to be no decision bout, no decision was rendered, although it seemed that Mfr. Burruss got. the popular decision.
 Both speakers ably presented their contentious and advanced reasons for and against the new county.
 guest of interest was Judge Henry V. Borst, of New York, who is mem- ber of the supreme court of that state, and also grand sire of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. and is in attend ance at the meeting of the Grand Lodge of that order now in sesion here.
 Judge Borst made a very interesting talk and paid generous tribute to the city and state. In his remarks he sug gested that Albama should not send her raw material to other states, but should manufacture it into the finished product here
