nHgppj^Bvw 4 WHATIHEY WANf tcvifioo of the Tariff is (he First Duty of Congress and Is THE PARAMONT ISSUE Tbe Democratic Governors Who Attended the Louisville Conference 1 ytist Week, Urges Speedy Relief of the People From the Tariff I The first duty of Congress In the opinion of every Democratic Governor in attendance at tho conference at Louisville is to revise the Payne-j Aidrich tariff, says a correspondent of the New York World, writing from Louisville, Ky., last week while the Conferences of Governors was ieing held in that city. Severay Republican Governors concur in this lew. The Governors are almost a oil 11 in declaring that all duties of foodstuffs should be eliminated. Gov. Harmon of Ohio said to The World correspondent to-day. "The New York World never did ! a greater service to the people than k is doing now in advocating a raal revision of the tariff. The Congress thou Id revise the Payne-Aldrich bill before it does anything else. The American people by tremendous maj-I rities have shown that the measure passed by the last Congress is distasteful. and the wishes of the majority should prevail. There is no Qcubt. that the high cost of living is due to a large etxent to the tariff. Everything that the American workman needs in maintaining his family should be duty free." Gov Hlect Woodrow Wilson, of New .Jersey said: "The Democratic party won its sweeping victory in November on account of Rooseveltism and the dissatisfaction of the people over the, Fayne-Aldrich bill. It is the duty of Congress to obey the wishes of the electorate and revise the present tariff law. This is a nation of workers, a nation of homes. The burden of the extra cost of living should be raised from the shoulders of the man who has to support a family. I believe that the American people may have hope of the next Congress. It Is Democratic, and if Mr. Taft can read the handwriting on the wall, fee will sign any bill that the Demociat pass in regard to the tariff." Gov. Plaisted of Maine said: 'The Democratic success in my section of the Uuion is dus entirely to dissatisfaction with the PayneAid rich tariff law. That measure is bunk pure and simple. It was framed for the protection of the interests and the people were not considered. They have registered their protest. It is the duty of Congress voffirm this mnnfiiirp YToro P^OPf (ally should the duty on everything that goes on the table and in the house be repealed." Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana said: "Every public man who has the Interests if his country at heart should see to it that the tariff laws are equitable. 1 don't believe in protecting one class to the detriment of another. The great mass of the people are staggering under the burden of a tariff law that makes them pay too much for everything thai goes to sustain their lives. The next Congress or even this Congress thould revise the tariff law so as to aV* the duty off the necessaries of Gov. Neal of Alabama, Shofrotn cf Colorado, Brown of Georgia, Kitchen of North Carolina, Mann of Virginia and Crtice of Oklahoma, expressed the opinion voiced by their Democratic colleagues as quote.1 above. They all declared that it was the duty of Mr. Taft If he wished 1 o tave the reputation of his'party to demand that the tariff be revised And that he would mark himself the greatest President the nation ever Lad if he demanded that this be done by the present Republican Con<?i ess. Republican Governors w-^re less communicative regarding revision of the tariff. One of the exceptions, however, was Gov.-elect. Francis F. McGovern of Wisconsin, who said: "It seems as if the people are opposed to the present tariff law. Per sonallv I thing they are right. The burden should he lifted from the householder, the necessities of life should be admitted duty free. It takes an expert to formulate a tarif? law, but it doesn't take an expert to budw l(iai me rcai necessities <>i me rhould be made as cheap as (>ossible fa the consumer. The people have trdloated that they want a readjustment of the tariff and it will bo done eventually. ' Gov. Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri said: "You can always depend on the people to get what they want. I believe that the Republican party can he depeneded on to preserve the Interests of tills nation. There are objections to ho made to the PayneAldrich bill, but these can he easily #moothed out. I believe that It 's the duty of Congress to do this without destroying the entire fabric ol the measure. The necessities of 'Pr thould be made as cheap as posslbb COOK HAD HARD TIME FOUND IT VKHY DIFFICULT TO SELL IIIS LAST HTOKY. It In Said That- He Caiue To United | States in November and Hade Arrangement* to Sell Manuscript. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who confesses he does not know whether he itached the North Pole or not. had no easy task disposing of his story according to reports reaching New York from London. The Brooklyn] explorer, It is sated, is living in seclusion in an obscure boarding house 111 Bloomburg, a London suburb, and ' ? ?>'i' wlifoh .1/, hr?nr>* I Jit'rt niuic mu fiv/i ,i " ... v,.. will restore him to favor in this country. It appears that for weeks Cook was eager to return home and sought <o sell his story to London magazine publishers. One thousand doliais, it was said, was asked for the story which London editors declined to accept. Cook in his story asserts that half crazed with hunger lie believed he reached the top of the world. It is said that Cook was in tho I nited States early in November and eame here to conclude arrangements with Hampton s Magazine foi the publication of his story. He came by way of Canada and met the publishers of his story at Troy, N. Cook returned to Europe. Mr. Hampton said a representative of the magazine met Cook in London and returned with him via Canada to Troy. Cook and the representative under an assumed name spent two days in Troy. Hampton said Cook was at Troy and Poughkeepsie approximately two weeks t.nd no precaution was made to keep his presence a secret. Cook took automobile rides every day with one of the magazine's editors. Hampton said, and Cook never wore a disguise. Cook returned tu Europe via Canada. Will Clean Wood Work. A lady says the woodwork around my kitchen sink became very dirty and I wanted it cleaned and revarnished. This easy method of getting the dirt and old varnish off at the same time was told me and proved to be a boon. The instructions were to make a soft soap from common yellow laundry soap and when it was nearly cool to stir in one tablespoon of concentrated lye and one half cupful of coal oil. When the mixture was like a heavy paste it was ready to be spread over the woodwork with a paint brush. 1 followed these instructions. letting the soap remain a day and a half, and when I washed it off with plenty of hot water, was pleased to find the dirt and old varnish come with it, leaving the clean wood exposed. When it was dry, I varnished it, and I had a sweet, clean kitchen again, with very iittlo labor. Discouraging and Disappointing. The decision in the Tennessee case against the Standard Oil Company is discouraging and disappointing to people, in general. Probably there is scarcely a person who believes that the Standard Oil and many other corporations systematically break the law, morally if not legally, but if seems well nigh impossible as matters are to secure a conviction. Even in the very rare instances a corporation has been found guilty the penalty imposed is usually a moderate fine for which the company generally recoups itself from the public.

Whether or nor many judges are influenced by their environments, as many assert, It Is clear that their decisions almost invariably favor corporation. Whether the remedy will pe found in a change in the judiciary or in more drastic laws, or in the brushing away of the absurd and involved technicalities is something over which opinions may differ.

Corley, a farmer living three miles from Columbia on the Camden road, was away from homo Saturday night, ?nmo unknown person, presumably bent on mischief, entered his houso in which were Mrs. Corley and several small children. The bloodhounds from the penitentiary were sent for later in the night, but were unable to follow the trail left by the marauder. On hearing footsetps in the kitchen, which adjoined the room In which she was sitting, Mrs. Corley armed herself with a shotgun and told one of the children to blow out iho lamp. After a few minutes tin intruder, who evidently did not like the idea of entering the darkened room, left the house by the back door. i " u' l,.... > ? .. i. ? .. \\ iii-ii .mi , u\v i etui iu'u uumi* be telephoned for tlie bloodhounds from the penitentiary.

I Ladies left alone should arm themselves, and should one of these Hen 1Isli brutes come fooling around the premises, he should be given a load of buckshot. A similar case to the above happened at Cope a few days ago. There seems to be a spinit of fiendishness pervading the minds of certain low bred negroes, and all people should be on their guard.

Travel from New York direct to tho South began when the Southbound "United States Fast Mail" left ten minutes alter midnight, being the first through train to leave the i station. During the day the otheri Htainp nf t I * Q/Ml f hom f O 51 11 rl II * u II clllio Ul IHV/ UV/UIIIVI ?| vv j from the South, the "New York, Atlanta and Orleans Limited," the "Birmingham Special." operated between Birmingham and New York via Atlanta, the Southern's "Southeastern Limited," between Jacksonville and New York and Aiken and ! Augusta; the "Memphis Special," between Memphis and New York via Chattanooga, Bristol and Lynch-1 burg; the "New York, Chattanooga and New Orleans Limited" made their first arrivals at and departii2? from the new station. This mammoth passenger station, which covers twenty-eight acres and is the largest building in the world, ever put up at one time, was put into operation under the hanlling of a force so well trained that everything was working as smoothly when the first train came in as if the terminal ha 1 been in use for months. The location of the station, at the space enclosed by 7th and Sth avenues and 3 1st and 33nd streets, enables passengers to alight from trains only i few blocks from their hotel and. by its use, the ferry trip from Jersey city, which has been a part of travel to, and from New York sin-e the trains were run from the eSouth, j -toes into history. Passengers, who wish to 20 direct to the down-town financial district, can leave trains at Harrison, .\cw lersev, and take ears through the] Hudson Tubes, which will put them to lower Hroadway in a few minutes. W ith the use of the new station of the Pennsylvania Railroad of only electric lighted sleeping cars on the Southern between die Southeast and New York. These sleepers, which supply every convenience which modern ingeniuty can supply, now take passengers from their hoinees, in all important points throughout the Southeast, to this great station, in the heart of the hotel, theatrical and shopping district of New York, with the corresponding service in the opposite direction. The magnitude of the great improvement. which the opening of this new station and the tunnel system puts into use, and the extreme care which is being exercised for the protection of passengers, is the fact that a private tire department of thirty men has been organized and placed in charge r.f a fir*1 protecting plant, installed at great expense after the most careful study, despite the fact that the station building and the material used in the tunnels are what would generally bo considered adsolutely fireproof. On the day of the opening, besides the number run in and out, thousands of interested sightseers, enjoyed their first, opportunity to inspect the archifectual beauties as well as the ample and excellent facilities of this great passenger terminal. Kvery Democrat, regardless of how ie voted on the recent taritY scliedjles, must line up for tariff reform. !'he people are entitled to this, and t should he given them by the Dernicrats as soon as possible.
