SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE It really does us good to look at the Grand Rapids Herald-Review, these days. That most estimable “moral tamily journal” is literally “filled” with legal advertisements that are printed at legal rates, and good fat “ads” are in prominent places about the paper. Really, one’s mouth waters at such signs of pros- perity, all of which Brler Kiley en- joys with becoming modesty and thankfulness. The kicker on the farm is not so hard to get along with as the kicker in town. On the farm there is the kicking cow, and our long-eared friend, the mule, while in town there is the old mossback (although he may not be so old) who wants all the municipal improvements without paying for them. The cow may be sold for beef, the mule traded for an old shotgun, but only a funeral will remove the town kicker. Either run a town with a vim, or just sell out and loaf. One thing must be done—run the town for all that it is worth, get up steam and keep it up. Do you want trade? Bid for it. Do you want business to come to your town? Encourage what you bhave. Do you wanta prosperous town? Then never per- mit the jealousies to rule your actions, but work together for com- mon prosperity and wmutual benefit, The Itasca County Agricultural society has set September 23-24-25 as the dates for holding the annual fair of Itasca county, at Grand Rapids. And they have “some” fair, over at the “Rapids.” Ever farmer in the county co-oper- ates with the business men of Grand Rapids and the result isa record-breaking gathering where agricultural products, livestock, etc., is exhibited and races of an exciting nature lend excitement. They are hustlers, over east. BEAR CARRIES OFF MICHIGAN CHILD Tot of Eighteen Monfhs Taken by Large Beast. Cheboygan, Mich., Aug. 6.-—Reports received in this city state that a large black bear carried away a baby eight- een months old while the mother was picking huckleberries on the Macln- tosh plains about ten miles out of town. The wmother, a Polish woman, had left the child sleeping in charge of another child, eight years old. Sheriff Clute dispatched a posse of ten men in charge of a deputy to the scene, but they were unable to find any trace of the child or the bear. FINDS HER BOY UNDER CAR Chicago Woman Recognlzes Dylng Son Dragged From Wheels. Chicago, Aug. 6.—"1 hope it i3 not my Bobby,” cried Mrs. A. E. Bruce while a boy was being taken from under a street car that had run over him in front of her home. A moment later the excited crowd around the car parted and she looked upon the face of her six-year-old son. She had run into the street after her husband, who had hurried to the house for a candle to find the boy under the car, not knowing that it was his son. Insane Love Cause of Murder. Chicago, Aug. 6.—An uncle's insane love for his niece resulted in murder when Herman Bell, a peddler, shot and killed Sarah Bell, a talloress, in front of her home here while she begged for her life.

END OF TARIFF. ~ LEGISLATION Congress Disposes 6f the Payne-Aldrich Bill. FINAL LINE UP IN SENATE 8even Republicans—Bristow (Kan.), Clapp and Nelson (Minn.), Cum- mins and Dolliver (la.), La Follette (Wis.) -and Beverldge (Ind.)—Vote Against Measure—Resolution Re- ducing Dutles on Leather Goods Also Adopted. ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—The senate has adopted the conference report on the tariff bill, which effects the final passage of that bill through congress. The vote was 47 ayes to 31 noes. The bill received all the Republican votes except those of Bristow, Clapp, Cum- mins, Dolliver, La Follette, Beveridge and Nelson. The senate then took up the concurrént resolution reducing the rates in the leather schedule. The tariff bill has been before con- gress since March 18, when it was first reported to the house. The bill has been in the senate since April 12. As reported from conference the meas- ure covers 462 pages and almost every article entering into American foreign commerce {s affected by it. Before reaching a vote on the con- ference report a number of senators made speeches. Mr. Dolliver (Ia.) was the first speaker. Opening with a defense of his course as a Repub- lican in contending for lower customs duties Mr. Dolliver denied the right of other Republican senators to question his position in the senate, a position which, he sald, was dictated by his conscience. “We have a tariff commission now,” declared Mr. Dolliver, referring to the opposition to the creation of such a body. “They are experts, although they have never been appointed by any puble authority. They are vol- unteers aiding congress in its difficult and strenuous work.” Prepared Certain Schedules. This commission, he insisted, had written the iron and steel schedule and the cotton schedule. And yet, he said, when it was proposed to have a tariff commission appointed as a pub- lic body the men who accepted the mandates of this tariff commission opposed the suggestion vigorously. Mr. Heyburn (Ida.) said that while he did not want to reflect upon any other "department of the government there had been a new doctrine of a veto of items of the biH, a doctrine that he could not approve. “When we are told that certain items must not be placed in the bill or the bill will be vetoed that is a threat that amounts to a veto of such items,” said Mr. Heyburn. “There is,” he added, “no duty in this bill so high as to offend me.” Mr. ‘Warren (Wyo.) made an ex- tended denunciation of the hide and leather schedule. The manufacturers, he said, had agreed to accept free boots and shoes if free hides could not be obtained, but when the man- ufacturers got free hides the manu- facturers repudiated the agreement which had made free hides possible. Showing much feeling Mr. Warren called upon Senators Aldrich, Gallin- ger and Dick to say what they thought of the doctrine of free raw material. All declared that they did not ap- prove of the idea of admitting hides free of duty. Mr. Aldrich said he knew of no Republican and no protec- tionist who favored the doctrine of free raw materials as understood by Mr. Mills and Mr. Cleveland. Very similar replies were received from Senators Bristow, Dolliver, Oliver and Flint, who were called upon to statc their views. Balley Opposes Report. Never before had a tariff bill passed under such a storm of disapproval, sald Mr. Bailey (Tex.), speaking in opposition to the report. Crossing the alsle and directing his remarks spe- cifically to Mr. Aldrich Mr. Bailey de- clared that nobody believed in the doctrine of free raw material, adding that the Rhode Island senator did not belleve In it except when it affected New England interests. “But,” he said, “when you take the tax off hides for the benefit of New HEngland people the people will take a tax out of your hides in all those Western states.” Ripples of laughter swept over the chamber at this remark, in which Mr. Aldrich could not refrain from joining. Senator Aldrich closed the debate for the Republicans. ' He declared the bill {s the most important and com- prehensive act ever adopted by the Amerlean congress. He challenged Mr. Bailey’s statement that the rates were higher than the present law. “This bill,” he sald, “Is not to be Judged by the average ad valorem it carries, or by any particular ad va ‘lorom, but by the character of the measure as a whole.” After consideration of a little over an hour the senate unanimously adopted the concurrent resolution re- ducing the duties on leather goods. The resolution passed the house later in the day. Without division the senate adopted Senator McCumber’s drawback reso- lution, with a provision for free cotton bagging added. SCOPE OF INQUIRY WIDENED Letters of Stanford White Read at Thaw Hearing. White Plains, N, Y., Aug. 6.—By ad- mitting in gvidence letters written by Btanford White to young women Jus- tlce Mills widened the scope of the hearing on the petition of Harry K. Thaw for release from the state asy- lum for criminal insane. The nameé of the persons to whom the letters werg addressed did not transpire. In- troduction :of the letters was in fur- therangg of the declared purpose of Mr. Morschauger, Thaw’s counsel, to show that t eliefs ot the petitioner regarding practices of White and some of White's wealthy male associates were based on fact and not, as the state holds, simply delusions. of a dis- ordered mind. ] Later in the day Mrs. Mary Copley| Thaw, mother of Harry Thaw, tqok the witness stand. inhis behalf. She told why her son dismissed Delpin M. Delmas, his chief counsel in the first case. Delmas was engaged main- 1y for the summing up, she said, and with that his work was done. " SUTTON INQUIRY * AGAIN TAKEN Up Marine Corps Offlcers Now Ap- pear as Dcfendants. Annapolis, Md., Aug. 8.—The naval board of inquiry resumed hearings re- garding the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, who was shot in an encoun- ter with brother officers near the ma- rine corps barracks. All the young officars who were with Sutton at the time of his death and who have already testified were in court as defendamts. Mrs. Sutton, Lieutenant' Sutton’s mother, appeared as complainant in pursuance of an order by Commander John Hood, senior member of the board. Mrs. James N. Sutton and her daugh- ter, Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker, sat at the inquiry table directly opposite the defendants. Henry B. Davis, their MRS. PARKER. counsel, stated that he remained in the case in the same capacity as at [ first, not prosecutor but as assisting Mrs. Sutton in finding the facts. The examination of Mrs. Sutton, ‘who was on the stand at adjournment, was suspended at the suggestion of the judge advocate and Lieutenant Utley called as the first witness. Ma- jor Leonard informed the witness of his rights as a defendant and that he need not answer any questions which would tend to incriminate him. Lieu- tenant Utley proceeded to answer questions without claiming the priv- ilege. AS DIRECTOR OF THE MINT A. Pratt Andrew of Massachusetts Named by President. ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—President Taft has sent to the senate the nomination of A. Platt Andrew of Massachusetts to be director of the mint. The nom- ination is to succeed Frank A. Leach, who resigned some time ago to be- come president of the People’s Water company of Oakland, Cal. Mr. An- drew is an expert on all financial mat- ters. He Is an assistant to the na- tional monetary commission and pro- fessor of economics in Harvar@ uni- versity. His home is near Gloucester, Mass. VIEWED BY INMENSE CROWDS Reppelin Airship 8alls Over Citles Along the Rhine. Cologne, Aug. 86.—The Zeppelin alr- ship arrived here from Fragkfort, a fistance of 110 miles, at 10;15 a. m.,, two hours and a quarter later thean the time she was expected. The ves- sel was delayed by unfavorable weather conditions. The ship clrcled the tower of the Cologne cathedral, fiylng low, and then sailed to the suburb of Bickendorf to come down. The landing place and the balleon shed were surrounded by immense erowds. " The progress of the vessel was re- ported by telegraph as the airship came down the Rhine. Crowds wit- nessed the passage from Limbursg, Neuwied, Remagen and Bonn. The ship as it approached Cologne ran into 2 thick fog, deviated to the southwest and missed Cologne by ten miles, or s0. The ship got its bearings agaim near Dueren and when the fog; Mfted: headed straight for Cologne and: came in rapidly. BRAGG RIDICULES THE CLAIM 8panish- War Soldiere Not Entitled to Name; of Veterans. Milwaukee, Aug. 8—~Edward 8. Bragg, who at one time caused serlous trouble between the United States and Cuba when consul general at Ha- vana by declaring that it was as easy to clvilize the Cubans as to make a whistle out of a pig's tall, startled Civil war veterans at the annual meet- ing of the Iron brigade, which he commanded during the Civil war, by nidiculing the claims of Spanish war veterans to the title of veterans. He sald the Clvil war men were the only real veterans. General Bragg sald those who served in the war with Spain hardly had a right to the word veteran, for they only enlisted, knowing the war would be brief, and did not have to march to the sceme of conflict, but were carried in passenger trains, most of them never seeing the enemy at all. SENATORS SHOW ~ LITTLE INTEREST Listlessness Marks End of| Debate on the Tari, CUMNINS DENOUNCES BILL lowa ‘Seriator Says the Measure Does Not Come Up to His Idea of Tar- Mt Reform and s Not a Fair and Reasonable Performance of the Promise Made In the Platform of the Last Republican Convention. Washington, Aug. j—General lst- lersness marked the final hours of de- bate on the conference report on the teriff bill in the senate. The majority ©of the members appeared to be merely walting for the end. Senator Cummins of Towa dfscussed the paragraphs of the tarift bill gener- ally, not presenting his objections in detall. He sought to establish his contention that no substantial tariff reform is accomplished by the changes the bill makes. Mr. Cummins:announced his deter- mination “to vate against the bill, though he confessed the bellef that it was superlor to any bill framed for revenue purposes and, so far as the ;mhedules 80, better than the Dingley aw. “I am opposed tojthe.conference re- port and to the bilhwhich it embodies because -it i3 notfsuch a revision of the tar¥ff as I haye expended the best years of my life in fighting for end is not a fair anfl’ reasonabld perform- ance of the promiése of our platform,” he said, and added: “This {s not a court of benkruptcy and I am not willing to accept 10 cents on the dollar in discharge of the obligations of the Republican party. It always has been and is now a solvent organization and it is not only £ble but its rank and file will insist upon it paying its debt in full. Its Dpledges will be redcemed at par and although the \blindness of some of its leaders may gt this time postpone the day of redemption I shall awalt with patience, confidence and serenity the hour "at which it will keep full and | and take no other.
