A WARNING. MUnla we act in accordince with our promise or if

wo only keep the word of t promise to .the .ear and. break , v It to the hope we shall be : made accountable to the Amsrlean people and suffer such consequences aa failure to - keep faith ha alwaya been . viaited with. "It would be better to have no revision at all unless we are going honestly and fairly to revise the tariff on the basis promised by our party.' William H. Taft, Dec. 18,1908. lt Aldrich read the hand-writing on the wall. '

DEMOCRATIC SINCERITY? The democratic senatorseighteen la number, who joined the happy Aldrich throng' of "little friends of the Steel Trust" , yesterday, will have their mouths stopped with dust four years from now. As It is, Aldrich carried the day for the 8teel Trust " The U. 8. Steel Co. has the advantage of owning all the .deposits of iron ore In this country which forces the

independent companies to go out of the country for their ore. By placing a duty of twenty-five cents a ton on tho imported ore the U. S. Steel Co. makes a profit on Iron ore alone to tho Steel Trust . which will not hurt their net profits and which is a serious handicap to the independent companies. . There is no ' analogy between thlB sad the crude oil proposition of the Standard 'Oil Co. The Standard for the most part is simply in the refining business and has forced all tho producers of the country to sell to it it makes no difference to it whether the

oil comes from abroad or not. except

that it enables It to get more oil to

refine when the duty on the crude

product Is taken off.

There re some of us who remem

ber the hurrah and harangue with which certain democratic speakers in the) late campaign quoted the follow

ing passage with gusto from the

democratic platform.

"We welcome the belated promises of tariff reform now offered by the republican party in tardy recognition : of the righteouaneaa of the democratic position on the question, but the' peo

ple cannot safely trust the execution

or tms important work to a party

which is so deeply obligated to the highly protected Intereste as is the

republican party."

Hurrah for the sincerity of those democratic .- senators eighteen in

number, who bolted to the aid of the interests those highly democratic and sincere gentlemen who saw that if they did not come to the rescue of tho Aldrich stand-patters that there would be a real danger of tariff re

vision as far as the senate is concern' ed. '

To those who take joy in knowing

what might have been the applica

tion of simple arithmetic addition

and subtraction discloses the fact

that, had the 18' democratic' senators

"welcomed the belated promise of tariff reform" - tho vote : would not

have stood 54 to 24. but 36 to 43. And there would have been no 25 cents on

iron ore passed by the senate.

' To those who desire to pursue the matter further - a counting of noses shows that fourteen republicans voted against the steel trust duty and ten

democrats did likewise. . So that even

on. the minority side the republicans beat the democrats in their stand for

tariff revision. .

Tils being so, what will the democratic party say" when It makes its

. platform four years hence? -

THE QUESTIONS OF BEVERIDGE.

When Senator Aldrich arises in his might and dilates on his vsst experience of thirty years study of the tariff it really seems most unfair that the younger , Senator Beveridge, from the state of Indiana, should ask him questions about the tariff. - Now the questions which Senator Beveridge has been asking have been illuminating in the extreme in showing that the Aldrich brand of standpatter has very little regard for the facts even after thirty years of study, unless the facts haupen to suit his uses. They also disclose the fact that even after thirty years of study that the' complacent Aldrich does not care to use the result of his able Investigation. And whether this has any thing to do with the present tariff it will have something to do with another tariff. ' If Beveridge keeps up this rapid fire of inquiry there can be no doubt that the public will in time, show enough of a thirst for knowledge itself to demand a Tariff Bureau or a Tariff Commission which will do away with the expert wisdom of Senator Aldrich. Not many weeks ago just before the tariff session of congress there met in the city of Indianapolis a gathering of' men who represented most of the commercial and industrial interests of this country who. for the

selfish reason of wanting a good tariff, demanded from congress that there . should . be. more exact Information-used in the building of a tariff than the mere line of laggard infor

mation which Aldrich says he has accumulated after thirty years.

So If Beveridge fails in the present

instance of tariff revision according to the promises of the party and ac

cording to the sentiments of Taft and

the Middle West the people at least

will have learned their lesson. If there is to be a good tariff it must not be the slip shod thing we make In committees in disregard of the people's wishes and playing on the ignor

ance of tho people.

Let there be light. And there will be light if there is a

tariff commission. Congress will not have the audacity to serenely go counter to the findings of an impartial

commission appointed by a honest president. -: :

The tariff commission will come

and Beveridge will have had much to

do with its coming if he keeps up the fire of 'auestions which are giving sore discomfort to the stand patters.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

ADVERTISING PAYS. Do you believe in advertising? Los Angeles does. Little more than a generation ago Lo8 Angeles was a Mexican pueblo of 10,000 souls and a few flee-bitten dogs. Today it is an up-to-date city with nearly 300.000 people; progressive, busy, educated people who enjoy as much culture as the eastern cities that boast of more. ' What effected thls: quick change? Well, it's true that Los Angeles had a climate that bore out Its old Spanish name, Puebla do la Reina de los Angeles (town of the "queen of the angels). Angels might go farther and fare worse, climatically. Then, too, electricity has done much for the city.

Without its fine electric traction, its

development would undoubtedly have been slower. But advertising! There's the key!

The commercial organizations of

this western metropolis have spent, in the last 10 years (directly) nearly $400,000 in telling what a fine place

Los Angeles is. Newspapers, maga

zines, train time-tables, street cars.

handbills, posters, billboards, every

where has been blazoned forth the

virtues of Los Angeles. Persons who have never been within 3,000 miles of this city speak of it familiarly as a

paradise on earth. And has this advertising paid? Ask a man from Los Angeles.' ''. It has been the same with Los An

geles, though, as with any marketa

ble product. You must believe ; in

your wares. Now the Southern Cali-

fornian believes in Los Angeles as he believes in his appetite. . To him there's no place on earth like it; what's more, he. tells people so. He tells them in Such a way that they

tell others. The answer: one of the

finest cities in the Union. World Mirror. , . - ' "

? Famous Mines to Close.

The ancient' silver mines at Frie-

older mining engineers of this coun

years. The first thalera, from which

came the word dollar, were coined from silver from these ancient Saxoa mines, and for centuries the German traders, called easterllngs. from whose merchants and bankers In England the word sterling as applied to pounds sterling came into use. derived their bar and coined silver for trading at the great fairs of all parts of Europe from these Saxon mines. Many a war was fought in order to get control of the ' silver mines at Freiberg. Fi-

REEDY IS RELEASED

Eaton Man Got Into Trouble For an Alleged "Green Goods" Game.

HE CLAIMS INNOCENCE

William Reedy, the Eaton man who

was arrested in connection with an alleged green goods game at Dayton, has been released without bond. Reedy and a man named Horton were charged with . defrauding . Herbert Blair of Dayton. Blair claims Horton and Reedy represented to him they had placed S150 in counterfeit money on deposit in a Dayton bank. They claimed the money had passed the in

spection at the bank and was equal to the real. They claimed to be short of cash and offered to hell their S150 on deposit for $50 in ready money. Blair bit and handed out the currency. Afterward he got wise and now seeks retribution. Reedy professes to be entirely innocent of the accusation.

FOOD SKELETONS CAUSE OTfflSTffl Think Their Finding May Expose a Cycle of Concealed Crimes. RECALLS GUNNESS CASE

DI8COVERY MADE AT THE HOME OF A RECLUSE WHO DIED TWO YEARS AGO HELD UNSAVORY REFUTATION.

Mariposa. Cal., May 14. Four skeletons, discovered near a well with a secret tunnel leading to the home of George McCoy, a mysterious recluse, wbo died two years ago, yet men digging in the belief that they might expose a cycle of concealed crimes, resembling those unearthed with the discovery of the Gunness murder farm in Laporte, Ind. ' McCoy, whose odd mode of life had earned him an evil reputation, owned a ranch near Mariposa for more than fifty years. He lived alone, shunned acquaintances and kept his history an enigma from the day he appeared as a sullen stranger from nowhere and bought the ranch from an old settler in 1853. Wilson Disappeared. John Wilson, whose ranch adjoined McCoy's, disappeared thirty years ago. McCoy, who had quarreled with Wilson, was accused of his murder and narrowly escaped being lynched. The entrance to the -tunnel in which the four skeletons were found, was concealed by a gigantic slab plastered over with earth.

FRAUD IS CHARGED

Minister and City Official May Be Placed Under Arrest.

OVER AN OPTION FIGHT

Hammond, Ind., May 14. The arrest of Rev. George Duel, pastor of the First Methodist church of Gary, leader of the Anti-saloon league of Indiana and L. A. Bryan, treasurer of the Gary town board, will follow the swearing out of warrants threatened by the saloon keepers of Gary on a charge of perpetrating a fraud in obtaining remonstrances by . alleged misrepresentation, which threw 101 saloons out of business. The saloon keepers' association claims to have affidavits for over one

hundred signers of the remonstrance to the effect that the petition was misrepresented to them when they signed it. This petition was the work of the Anti-saloon league, headed by Deul. It is charged in these affidavits that most of the signatures were obtained under the impression that the remonstrances would merely limit the number of saloons instead of eliminating them.

Africa's Second Story Worker With the Long Distance Neck. The giraffe Is the second story worker of the animal kingdom. It Is a merger of tbe zebra and the camel and Is also a distant relative of the palm tree. The giraffe consists of eight feet of neck equipped with a body at om end and a bead at the other. In tbe matter of neck it has all tbe rest of tbe animal kingdom beaten by a length. The giraffe's mouth is located so far .from Its stomach that it has to eat today to appease tomorrow's appetite. Many a giraffe has starred to death while tbe first meal it had eaten for two weeks was slowly traveling its transcontinental esophagus. The giraffe looks as if it had started out to be a sebra; but baring reached tbe shoulders, bad kept on going. It is very dark In color, marked by yellowish brown stripes In a handsome linoleum pattern. It Uvea on tree topa. eagles nests and rainbows. During the Boer war the British army had some difficulty with .giraffes, which formed a great liking for war balloons and frequently nibbled them daring their flight in order to Inhale the gas. Why -does the giraffe have a long distance neckf Persons given to the use of common sense wilt realise that " Africa Is rich la Insect life as wen as animal life and that all . African ani

mals carry innumerable parasites on their bides. The giraffe's bead is so far from his body that a long neck is absolutely necessary in order that he may reach down and grab off a tick from bis fetlock , when necessary. Even a child could see this.

Hunting Big Game in Africa Like Pot Shots at Pheasants

New York. May 14. Shooting lions! in Africa, when one is an ex-president of the United States, is a good deal like taking pot shots at golden pheaaanta on a royal preserve. It is hunting with all chance eliminated. That is the opinion of Charles Atwood. who spent five years . In the heart of the region which Roosevelt has made famous. "You see, it's this way," he explained at the St. Nicholas avenue Presbyterian church, where he waa a speaker. "Tbe natives have known for weeks and months ahead that Teddy was coming. . They have everything planned out, even to posting guides all over that part of the country to report game. - Now all the former president has to do is to blaze away at tbe game before him. . Tbe natives find the animals and lead the distinguished visitor up to the spot where he can draw a bead on them." .

"Now there are certainly enough

there to shoot. But," he added, after a pause. I didn't go out with a broom

to sweep them off the doorstep., "However, it is the rhlnocerous and not tbe lion which Is to be most feared in Africa. He is tho true king of beasts and most dreaded by the hunter. His two and one-half tons of

weight comes with lernoie rorce wnen he rushes at his enemy. Why. I hav3 passed many lions once six at tha same time and they skulked away. "As to diseases, the danger to Roosevelt will not bo very great. A white man is rarely stricken with tha 'sleeping sIcknessV
