POETIC LICENSE. “At last the colonel escaped out 2 side door to the street, where the night fog was throbbing with the beat | of drums of a ‘dozen bands, the tramping of thousands of feet, the flare of many motor car horns.’’— Kansas City Times. This happens in telling of Roose- velt’s visit in Joplin. It is very beau- tiful. So beautiful it almost hurts to announce that really and truly there was only-one band and one drum of Trade in the Eleventh Abstract of Labor Statistics and from figures in the Seventy-first Bulletin of the Uni- ted States Bureau of Labor. The year 1896, which was the year preceding the enforcement of the highly protective Dingley tariff, is taken as the standard year, the cost of food in each country being taken as 100. The meaning of the table is that food which cost $1 in Great Brit- tian in 1896 could not be duplicated for less than $1.077 in 1906, and that food for which the American con- sumer paid $1 in 1896 cost $1.343 in 1906. A Striking Comparison. Coming nearer home, the differ- ence in the cost of living in Detroit and just across the river in Windsor, Canada, supplies us with a striking definition of the real meaning of ex- cessive tariff rates. Prices of food- stuffs, wearing apparel, and rents average from 20 to 25 per cent more than in Windsor. And between the two cities there are but 2,561 feet of corps, and that the motor horns did| \ter—and the Aldrich-Payne tariff not do enough flaring to scare a cat. But it should be madea part of the minutes on the ground of poetic li-| cense. —Joplin Globe. Mr. Roosevelt now proposes that if his politics do not suit the people after fhe election he is wiliing to sub- to the recall and retire from the presidency. This is certainly fair enough unless the Colonel should again bring up the proposition of the “cup of coffee.’’ However, we have no fears. After the 5th of November T. R. will never again be in a posi- tion where the recall of public offi- cials need affect him. “Sunny Jim’ Sherman, Republi- can vice-presidential candidate, has discovered that he has a weak heart and it is rumored that he may decide not to run. This, in our opinion, would be a wise decision for the gen- tleman to arrive at. A week heart is hardly a suitable qualification for the second in command ofa forlorn hope. The Bull Moose party in Missouri, cluttered up with the wrecks and de- relicts from all other political ‘organi- zations, resembles nothing so much as the Sargasso sea. And it might be well to remark here that the Sargasso keeps its own. Once in its clutches, no ship ever returns. bill! The Detroit man is “protected” and the Windsor man is not.

Major, Hannibal, Mo., Sept. 24.—Elliott W. Major was declared to be the most popular candidate in the state tonight by John T. Barker, Demo- cratic candidate for Attorney General, in an address before the Hannibal Democratic Club. “T predict a big Democratic vote in Missouri.” said Mr. Barker. ‘“‘Taft and Roosevelt are running even in the state.’” Mr. Barker has organized fifteen Democratic clubs within the last few weeks. He was welcomed by a large crowd tonight. The club plans to have other Democratic speakers soon. Barker will depart tomorrow morn- |: ing for St. Louis. Clark Wants Lower Tariff By not being “‘protected,’’ the Windsor man pays $15 for a suit of clothes that the Detroit man will find difficult to duplicate in quality for $25. What the Windsor man is es- caping in this instance is the Aldrich- Payne tax of 44 cents a pound on good all wool clothes, and the addi- tional tax of 60 per cent on the value of the goods, Wool Tariff Robs Women. When a woman purchases $10 worth of woolen dress goods, $4.87 of that $10 represents the actual val- ue of the goods and the remaining $5.13 of the $10 the amount of the tariff. In other words, should the same purchase be made in England, where there is no tariff on woolens, the woman would receive the same amount and quality of dress goods for $4.87 that she pays $10 for in this country. This is because of the ‘Payne-Ald- rich ad valorem tariff of 105 per cent on this class of goods. Germans Admit Tariff Increases Prices. When the German Government in- troduced its tariff law of 1902, it pub- lished with it, as is the custom in Germany, a printed explanation of the reasons for its mtroduction. This official document; which squarely de- Chicken thieves appear to abound in Osceola, and the St. Clair County Democrat remarks that ‘they are no doubt having a hearty laugh at those clares that import duties raise the cost of living, reads, in part, as fol- lows: “Inland prices are raised, so far as Washington, Mo., Sept. 24.—Im- mediate but careful revision down- ward of the tariff was recommended by Champ Clark, speaker of the na- tional house of representatives, who spoke here on his tour of the state in the interests of Governor Wilson and of Elliott W. Major, democratic nom- inee for governor. A large crowd greeted Speaker Clark enthusiastical- ly. After his address he departed for St. Louis, where tomorrow afternoon he will speak at the new St. Louis fairgrounds. From St. Louis the speaker will proceed to Hickory Grove and towns in the center part of the state. Democrats to Win, He Says. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 23.— Senator William J. Stone, who has just returned from Chicago, where he took an active part in the national congressional conference, is enthusi- astic over the Democratic outlook everywhere. He is particularly pleased with the situation in St. Louis, which, he thinks, will go Democratic. He said that Gen. Major would have the larg- est majority ever given a Democratic nominee for Governor in Missouri. Resolutions: H. O. Maxey, B. F. Jeter, J. E. Williams. | Organization: J. A.
