Senator Cummins of lowa has formulated a bill of particulars wherein President Taft has offended. Some of the President’s offenses cited are: His position on the Payne-Aldrich tariff liw. his position on the bill for the further regulation of interstate common carriers, his position on 'the change made in the postal savings law, his attitude on the control and disposition of our public domain, Itis position on the proposed income tax law, his position on the Canadian reciprocity bill, his work for the peace treaties, his vetoes of the woolen the free list bill and the resolution admitting New Mexico and Arizona as states. This list embraces nearly everything in which the President took a part.

Here is some tariff board history that the President will probably not refer to: The tariff board was created Sept. 26, 1909. On June 7, 1911, 21 months later, congress called for whatever data the board had collected on wool, and was informed the board had nothing to report. What was the tariff board doing during these 21 months? Soon after the appointment of the board, its chairmain, Henry C. Emery, established headquarters in the private residence of Frederick Hale, son of Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, who has been known for years as one of the most powerful defenders of ultra protection. In October, 1910, it was announced that “the work of the tariff, board" was to be boomed at a series of banquets. For three months the banqueting campaign occupied the time and attention of the board. Among the hosts was the Arkwright club, the leading association of high protection manufacturers of the country. Then on Feb. 1, 1911, Chairman Emery was the guest of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers —the wards of Schedule K—with William H. Wood on one side and Vice-President F. S. Clark on the other. The plan finally adopted for estimating costs is the plan which, at this dinner, Emery was advised to adopt. And this is the boarjl for whose report all tariff revision must be held up!

SUGAR TRUST PRICES.

Regarding the sudden and uncalled for rise in the price of sugar, brought on by the sugar trust, the Indianapolis News says: The price of sugar is going up rapidly. Six months ago it was 5 cents a pound; a week ago it was 6; today it is 8 and further advance is expected. There is, dealers say, ho probability of a decrease in price in the near future. The increase is alleged to be because of a shortage in last year’s Cuban cane crop and an expected shortage this year, together with rains in Michigan which are said to have retarded the beet crop. So it is just the irresistible result of supply and demand. Even were this theory true, as it is not, should not the American peopfle demand that the artificial barriers that prevent them from getting the benefit of the world’s production of sugar be broken down? We have an ingenious tariff wall or net work so tarn as to cover all avenues of admission except under the toll which the sugar trust shalE exact. Under these conditions we are told that the supply is such that a jump from 5 to 8 cents a pound in »six months —and 2 cents of it in a weekis necessary. Manifestly then, the sane thing to do is to loosen trie bonds and let us feed ourselves from the world’s offerings. The people are not disposed to accept the explanation. The whole sugar business in this country is anything but sweet. For one single item there are the enormous sugar frauds systematically perpetrated by the great sugar company against the customs laws of the country —-just plain theft on a gigantic scale, a series of petty thefts so organized as to steal colossal sums. Not satisfied with the extortionate toCl which is taken by the network of tariff laws stealing must .be added. Now the folk that did this are jumping the price of the product and telling the people that the law of «npply and demand Is the cause. They do not come into court with dean hands. They have no

right to ask that the people shall believe anything but that this is simply-another gouge-—or the same old in a new shape. Reports from New York said that the rise was only temporary and that “as soon as conditions are settled prices will drop again.” But since then prices have risen a cent. So this may be classed, with the reasons for the increase, as untrustworthy. The sugar trust is not entitled to belief, that is all. Meanwhile It is to be said that if the people choose to put up with the exactions that mark the. course of sugar they themselves are to blame. There is a remedy when they want to apply it.

MUCH BITTERNESS

Displayed by Hanly In Attacking Republicans for Policy on Temperance. Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 14. While Republican State Chairman Edward M. Lee, former Congressman, James E. Watson and several other prominent men ,of his party attending the lay delegate convention here, sat in the audience, former Governor J. Frank Hanly gave his’party a scathing arraignment this afternoon in the most dramatic speech yet delivered bjfore the eightieth annual session of the Indiana Methodist Conference. The former Governor was wildly applauded when he declared his willingness to lead a crusade in the political campaign next year if the two parties leave the temperance question out of their platform. His speech was delivered at the Anti-Saloon League rally, which occupied the latter part of the afternoon session.

After being introduced as the next Governor of Indiana Mr. Hanly had to wait for'several minutes while the audience of nearly 2,000 stood and waved the Chautauqua salute as a greeting. Declaring that his party deserved defeat last year and set- , ting forth his own views and political intentions for the future, he avowed that if it meets defeat again next year he would not champion its broken faith. He declared that his party was divided today, not on account of the temperance question, but because of personal and factional fights. The speaker called upon his auditors to begin now an agitation that would result in the reactment of the local option law as a first step to state-wide prohibition. In closing he said in part: His written defy to the Republican -party and the party leaders came at the close of his speech and in the audience at the time were Republican State Chairman Edwin M. *Lee, exCongressman James E. Watsor. and a number of other leading Republicans of the state. His statement was as follows: “Today my party in this state stands in the valley of decision —doubting and uncertain. Last year it failed in its duty. It sought not right, but expediency —the expediency of silence. It turned its back upon a work more worthy than it had wrought in this common wealth in a third of a century. • As a result of its perfidy it wai defeated. Its defeat was sad," but sadder was the fact that it deserved defeat. That fact stained its nation-wide fame with shame. Today “the lip of its honor lies low in the dust.”

"Those who brought it there may -silence their conscience for the hour, and for the' moment justify their act, but before the jury time empanels they will stand condemned condemned through all eternity. “It is better to deserve to win and lose, than to ’ win and deserve to lose. The fruits of such a victory turn to ashes on the lips. No party can afford to sacrifice truth or principle on the altar of expediency. The idea of duty or of service can no more be ignored by a party than by an individual. The truest expediency, either for an individual or for a party, is the expediency of right. Neither men nor parties can afford to strike a balance Between civic duty and criminal pblicy. To survive there must be 'full acceptance of the first and complete repudiation of the latter. “To fall again nfcxt year will involve severe cost. There can be no victory with another surrender to a traffic loaded with the curse of God and man. The ill that befell us before Will grow and deepen until we sink beneath its shame and the people’s gathered wratht To thoughtful, sincere and upright men the conflict between duty and surrender is and will continue to

be irreconcilable. If there is further surrender, pleas for party harmony and party loyalty will not avail. They will be less effacious than they were before, and they were ineffectual then. Harmony can not be built upon false pretenses made and intended to deceive, nor can party loyalty be founded upon the surrender of that which has become a deep and mighty truth to thousands of stalwart, purposeful men. Such men can go to defeat, but they can' not surrender.

“Speaking for myself, and meaning the thing I speak, I say unto you that if my party fails in this behalf next year, either in platform or in ticket, I will not champion its broken faith. I will not share its blood-stain-ed hire'. I will not help it bear its million-fingered shame. I will not bring my conscience to another brewer’s mart. L can not stand forever before the truth and mock it with a lie. And I will not go in silence, for, in such case, silence would be crime.

“Deep as my love for my party has been and is, and it has beep and is deep, and abiding as my hate of that which wrought its shame is, and shall be deeper still if it betrays its trust again I will drag into the light its sin. I will paint its crime and folly. There- will be no padlocks on my lips. “There will be others—thousands of others—and together rising above the crime and folly of an evil time we will wash our hands of its sin and shame and curse, we will lift this great cause up until a comrnon love shall fuse our hearts in one. “We will appeal anew to the consciences of men. We will proclaim a new’ crusade with a prayer-forged zeal that will not be denied. Planted upon the the adamant of a righteous cause we’ll put nerve into our task. We’ll hew down the opposition. “We’ll strike home as Christians rfiay, as freemen can strike home, home to the heart and root of this monster wrong. Strike home until the blows we deal shall be felt the wide world through.”

“SECOND GARY,”

Town of Lena Parks, Placed in Receiver’s Hands, and Luckless Investors Lose All. Laporte, Ind., Sept. 14.—Th'e town of Lena Parks, Starke county, passed into the hand's of a receiver today, Henry C. Rogers being named by Judge Vurpillat, of Knox. Thus ended the dream of a “second Gary,” though in the story of Lena Parks hundreds of lot owners lose practically all of their investment. The investors were nearly all poor people who were drawn by graphic advertising. Chicago men bought a tract of a thousand or more acres in Starke countyand platted the land for a city. Excursion trains were run and lots were sold at a fabulous figure on the ground that mammoth industries were to be located. One small industry was started,, but its machinery has long since been idle.

PLAN JACKSON DAY FEAST

Durgan is chairman of the speakers committee. The' banquet is usually'held in January, but will be earlier than usual this time and a date between Christmas and New Year’s will be selected.

Woman’s World

First Woman In China to Practice Medicine.

DH. YAMEI KIN.

Is It possible for an eastern woman to enjoy western education and training and remain characteristically oriental? This is a question frequently asked by Europeans interested in the education and progress of eastern women.

To see Dr. Yamei Kin. China’s first woman doctor, and. better still, to hear her speak in perfect English of her hopes for the further progress of Chinese women, is to answer the question in the affirmative. Dr. Yamei Kin stands for the well balanced oriental woman, familiar with the science, learning and methods of the west, but losing none of her own nationality. She is typically Chinese in appearance. There are the pale complexion, the dark hair, the small dark eyes, twinkling with fun. Small in stature, but alert and active in body and mind. Dr. Kin wisely retains her Chinese dress.

It is more than twenty years since Dr. Yamei Kin took her degree at the Women’s Medical college. New York, now merged into Cornell university. The years spent in the west have taught her much besides a wonderful command of the English language and a knowledge of medicine and surgery. She does not approve of ail she has heard and seen, but she recognizes that modern science is the greatest gift of the west to the east today. In method there must be adaptation rather than adoption. She is now intrusted by the Chinese government with the organization of a medical department for women in northern China, a huge task which calls forth her splendid abilities. A start has been made at Tientsin. A hospital, dispensary and medical school are in existence. How they came into being is characteristically Chinese. Land, on which were some very ancient buildings, was allotted to Dr. Kin for her new organization, with an assured revenue. That was the government's part; she was to do all the rest. "‘You must make your own plans and carry your scheme to success.” This meant that she had to be her own architect and engineer and carry out the work with the aid of a few ordinary workmen. There were the water supply to be planned add sanitary work to be done, as well as demolishing some of the old buildings, replacing them with new ones and adapting others to her purpose. The transformation was worked. The architect and engineer are now .sunk in the doctor and director. Dr. Kin’s aim is to make sure progress and lift the people step by step to better sanitation and hygiene. In her establishment she maintains Chinese customs so far as possible and introduces only such western methods of sanitation as are Indispensable. Her students enter for a two or three years’ course: their method of life is Chinese, also their food, which Dr. Kin shares with them in order that she may be the first to complain if anything should be wrong.

Nothing Like Personality.

Nothing like personality, if you know how to assert it Clerks have not forgotten the dear lady who wrote to her husband: “I am just crazy over the Thousand islands. How long can I stay?” It was personality, pure and simple, that won for her the enthusiastic response, “So glad you are having a nice time! Don’t hurry. Stay a week on each island.” Mere gossip this, but with his own ears the clerk once heard a farmer’s wife pay a most generous and inspiring tribute to personality. Concluding a tirade in disfavor of an aunt, she blurted: “I know what I’ll do to her. Hl—l’ll—visit her!” —Clerk of the Day in Boston Evening Transcript.
