SPEEDING CYCLE HITS CROWD.

Panic Follows Accident and Many are Trampled in Wild Rusli of Spectators. Newark. N. J.; Sept B.—Eddie Hasha of Waco, Tex., holder of many world’s records for motorcycle racing. plunged over the rail of the course of the Newark motordrome into a crowd late this afternoon, causing the death of six persons, including himself, while six are dying and thirteen others are badly hurt. The. only two of the six dead positively identified up to a late hour tonight were Hasha and Johnny Albright, a Denver motorcyclist, who was riding third in the race. The other four dead were boys and young men among the spectators. Five thousand people were witnessing the finish of a four mile free-for-all race when the daring Texan rider, doing ninety-two miles an hour, took his fateful plunge. ~ He was riding high on the bank of the track when the wheel of his heavy machine sw’erved and struck the upper rail. He was pitched headfirst fifty feet into the air. He must , have been instantly killed. His body I was shapeless from broken bones .when it was picked up almost at the i feet of his wife, seated among men ■and boys in the: bleachers. |

Black Locust Seed Wanted by the State Board of. Forestry. j The Black Locust is excelled only ,by the Hedge or Osage Orange as a I post timber. It grows rapidly and idoes well oa rocky, worn out and ■eroded fields. It is the most easily I propogated of any of our trees; all .that is necessary is to get the roots covered with earth and it will grow. It will grow better without cultivar tion than, any of our valuable trees, which recommends it for planting on steep hillsides ar.d rocky places that can not be cultivated. For the preceding reasons it would be the most desirable tree to use in reclaiming :the rocky, deserted and washed fields of Indiana, if it were not for the fact that it is often killed by the borer. It has beed observed, however, ;that volunteer loeuset trees have resisted the attack of the borers for so many years ihier descendant are * -practically immune to the borer, .while the trees from the nursery, i which are grown from seed imported I from Europe, have not yet became ' “acclimated.” This is a Significant fact and the I State Board of Forestry has decided i to undertake an, experiment of growing a strain of Black Loeust that will .be more or less immune to the borer. I They expect to plant seed from at least IQO thrifty young trees that are free from the borer. From these' seed, trees will be grown, and from' i -I

these trees seed will gain be selected from such trees as show a rapid and upright growth and are as free as possible from the borer. Again seed will be planted and the process of selective breeding continued until satisfactory results are obtained. The Board wishes to receive seed from every county in the statf*. but to send a man to all, parts of the state would mean a great expense and one which the Forestry Board can not meet. For this reason, is asked the favor of the collection of 200 seed form each of one to five thrift young trees 6 to 10 inches in diameter at 4% feet above the ground. It takes only a few pods to furnish 200 seed. Take the seed out of the pod, wrap them .in a paper securely and write on the package the ciEcumference of the tree at 4y 2 set t above the ground, the estimated height and the locality of the tree. Remember to keep the seed from each tree separate. Send to the State Foresfer, • Indianapolis, Ind., and he will reimburse you for postage or express. This favor will be greatly appreciated by the Board and it is hoped that someone from every county will respond and assist im this important undertaking.

HO AID TO WORKER

TARIFF IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROSPERITY OF THE WAGE EARNER. PROVED BY TWO INSTANCES Condition of Workingmen In Highly Protected Steel Industry Is Bad While Plants of Moderately Protected Farm Implement Industry Are Bright Spots In Labor World. By agreement of all observers, a lie dies hard. There, for example, is the lie that asserts that the American workingman is dependent upon the tariff for whatever he enjoys of superiority to the ‘ pauper workman” of Europe In wages and standawTof living. Let us look at a couple American industries, one very highly, the other very moderately, protected. By the theory, the workingmen employed in the first ought to be better off than those employed in the second. 1 ake. the steel industry and the agricultural implement industry, both flourishing, and each enjoying a good export, trade. And in order not to complicate the tariff problem with tlie trust problem, suppose we leave out the harvesting end of the implement industry and consider only the manufacture of plows and machinery for planting and cultivating, an unmonopolized branch. The steelmaker is protected by a .45 per cent, tariff; the tariff on agricultural implements is just 15 per cent. For the past fifteen years—the period of most rapid development of both industries—the tariff on steel has ranged from two and one-quarter to three times as much as that on implements. The condition of the workingmen in the highly protected steel industry, generally speaking, is bad, as the world knows, A tariff barrier of 45 per. cent, against the output of the pauper labor” of Belgium, Germany and England has not kept the American workingman from making the acquaintance of the twelve !-hour day and the seven-day week. It is not necesary to resume familiar facts; the Pittsburg Survey will supply de tails to the curious, at any public library. Since the degree of prosperity assured to the workingman by a 45 per cent, tariff is s so low, we should be prepared, acordlng to orthodox Republican doctrine, to find the employes of plow, planter and cultivator factories the pariahs of the industrial world.

The very contrary of this assumption is the fact. There are no brighter spots in the American industrial system than these very plants, whose tariff protection is relatively so little, in the “plow’ towns” of Illinois you find wages good. Scrupulous attention is paid to matters of safety and factory sanitation. In no* industry employing an equal amount of unskilled labor are conditions more stable. From this, and the thriftiness of the w’orkingmen, it results that a large proportion of them own their own homes. It is not uncommon to find workingmen of three generations of the same family in a single organization. One large concern has a successful pension and Insurance scheme in operation; another. Instead of buying outright Inventions of employes, pays substantial royalties for the use of them.

The tariff was not designed to help the workingman. It Is a trick to enable the manufacturer to exploit the consumer. Nothing could be more conclusive on this point than the contrast between industrial conditions in the two industries under discussion. Why is the ‘‘infant” steel industry, protected by a 45 per cent, tariff and Belling annually about $280,000,000 worth of its products in the foreign market, unable to treat Its workingmen as well as the plow and planter Industry, which has only a 15 per cent, tariff and an export trade of about one-twenty-fifth as much? And how does it come that the implement maker some years since, professed their willingness to get on without any tariff at all while the steel industry, according to no less an authority than President Taft’s veto mesage, would be withered and blighted If the duties on steel were reduced to a figure still substantially higher than the implement duties? The answer is that the tariff philosophy is a farrago of lies.

Mere Details Lacking.

The Progressive platform is explicit and my speech before the Progressive convention was explicit.—The Third Termer. Sure, they are! Except, of course, as to the mere details of how to do what It is proposed to do.

The Big Campaign Fact.

The one hope of the American people for relief from the terrific cost of living lies in the election of Governor Wilson, and the inauguration of his sane and sensible plan of reform.

The Farmer and the Trusts.

“While you were feeding the world, congress was feeding the trusts.” In that one compact phrase, Governor Wilson stated the case of the farmers of this country versus the Republican party. Of the-two billion dollars which the tariff costs the consumers of this country each year, the farmer pays nearly half—and gets nearly nothing. The farmer exports considerable produce, even now.

A Democratic Year. “Some time before the presidential conventions there was a feeling In the east that this was a Democratic year,” said, Nicholas L. Potter of New York, “and since all the nominations have been made It looks as if the Democrats would have a sweeping victory. “I am one of the multitude that votes, but do not take any active part In politics. I have always voted the Democratic ticket, but this is the first time since my first presidential vote, which was In 1892, that I have felt as if we were going to win. “Before the Baltimore convention had selected the ticket I was inclined to think that Congressman Underwood of Alabama would be the best man for standard bearer, but since Wilson was chosen I am strongly for him. I think we have a splendid ticket. “I have many friends who are actively engaged in political work, and It is their opinion that the state of New York will go for Wilson and Marshall.” i

The exporter can get no advantage out of an Import tariff unless he Is In a trust, which Is able to charge higher prices at home than it get* abroad. iThe farmers of the country have never been able to form a trust, and never will be able to do so. The farmer has fed the world, and congress—a Republican congress—has fed the trusts. Yet now the Republi can party asks another lease of powec that it may tame the trusts and as courage the farmer!
