When President Taft asked a
democratic congress to pass his
reciprocity bill, the democrats
said, es. that is all right, and
passed it. Hut when the demo
cratic congress asked the presi
dent to sign their farmers' free
list bill, so the farmers could get
some of these benefits also, Taft
forgot all about reciprocity am
gave it his veto. Which shows
that the democratic congress
headed by old Champ Clark of
Missouri, was acting for all the
people while the president coul
only see (he manufacturers of the
east.

Evidently the Plattsmouth city
council has not given up the idea
of "municipal ownership," if tho
following from the Wahoo Demo
crat is .iiw indication: ''Ooorge
E. Dovey and V. N'euman. eouneil
ioent from the city of Platts
mouth. w ere her Tuesday inspect
ing our municipal water and hunt,
plant. Plattsmouth is thinking
seriously of breaking away from
the corporations that now control
their water and lights and will
follow the lead of Wahoo in sub
mittine a proposition for bonds to
build and operate their own
plant. Mayor Lyle gave them a
vast amount of the information
they wished and they went away
believing that what was a success
in Wahoo would certainly be in
old Platts. We trust they will
line up on the municipal side of
this important question." Wahoo,
it would seem, is well pleased
with the manner in which the
light and water plants are run in
that city. '

THE TARIFF THAT TALKS.
My January 1 seven ready-made
clothing iiianiifact uring concerns
in Cincinnati will go out of busi
ness, and 1,'joo tailors, cutters,
house helpers and .salesmen will
be out of work.
The houses that already have
liquidated, or are now liquidating,
according to the Cincinnati En
quirer, are Marks & Friedman,
Rett man, Rlooin & Co., Sominer
fiebl & Co., Seasongood. (lutler
man & Co., Loeb Rros., Ifcrhurger
Uros. and Mayer, Scheuer, OtTner
& Co., a firm which dales back to
1855, and has the distinction of
having been the foundation of the
international banking house of
Kuhn, Loch & Co. These in
dustries have been killed by too
much tariff, and the 1.200 work
ers will he out of work for the
same reason. The Enquirer says:
"The liquidation of these
houses is the most serious blow
that has struck industrial Cin
cinnati in many years. Their
profits have been dwindling, as
one manufacturer explained, not
because of the loss of business or
sharp competition, but because of
osses in manufacture, due to the
poor quality of cloths on the mar
ket."
This poor quality of cloths is
rlue, the manufacturers say, "to
the high protective tariff on wool
and woolens." Again, the local
record, and the manufacturers
themselves, tell the storv belter:
The greatest drawback to the
wholesale clothing business today-
is tho high tariff on wool." said
Max Silberg of Feder. Silberg &
Co. "The w holesale clot bins in-
lustry wits prosperous under the
MrKinley law, and also for the
first few years under the old
Dingley law. That was because
of the great competition in the
woolen business; it produced good
lollies. Then the American Wool
en company came along and
absorbed thirty-two of the best
nulls in l lie country. Since then
conditions have turned un favor
able to the clothing manufarlnr
its; prices advanced ami the qual
ity of cloths deteriorated."
J. 11. Vainer of the Stanford &
Varnfr company nnd other inanu-
facturers give a similar analysis
One of them goes into the details
of what happened after the trust
had gained control of the situa
tion and has been using the tariff
to deprive Americans of good
cloth. He says:
"These cloths look workable on
the samples, but when we have
them shrunk and the mill gloss
taken off they won't work right.
The weave is loose and the cotton
shrinks nnd draws when the gar
ment is completed, making an un
salable product. A bolt of goods
will run from sixty to eighty
yards, and the shrinkage, which
the maker must pay for, will run
nbout six yards. In other words,
since the cheap foreign woolens
are taken out of competition the
American mills have taken to
stretching the cloths and press
ing them."
There has been a groat plea for
the high tariff "for the sake of
the workingman." Here we 9ee

VIRGINIA JUSTICE.
Into the close, depressing at
mosphere of a time when talk is
rife that our criminal courts are
ailures, that the law is killed by
technicality and delay, and that
iviminals go free, provided they
are rich enough and prominent
f nough, Virginia justice as exem
plified in the Reattie verdict
conies as a refreshing breeze.
In this case delay played no
part except to secure both foi
the prisoner and for the prosecu
tion ample time for preparation,
and technicality was absent alto
fettier. The judge, in refusing
even to hear argument on a
motion for a new trial, declared
that "all the rulings of the court
were on comparatively unimpor
tant details, and in no way could
have influenced the verdict."
The wealth and the prominence
of the defendant wore played
for all they were worth, but it
was answered with a shout of
itiilty from every one of the
twelve jurymen.
And would you know the secret
of Virginia justice, you will
find it in Virginia juries. Legal
chicanery falls harmless before
a jury in whom Honesty is a
habit and a juror's oath no
meaningless form. Twelve such
men, in earnest fn their search
for truth and intent on simple
right, stand indestructible pillars
in the temple of justice, no mat
ter how great may be the honi; j
of bgal rats and other unclean,
crawly things that may seek to
undermine it.
It was the race conscience of
the Anglo-Saxons, speaking
through that jury of Virginia
farmers a stale wherein the race
strain has remained more than
ordinarily pure. It was a voice that
barkened back to the Teutonic
forests, where plain right between
man and man and high reverence
for womanhood were sacred
things.
Would you know how to cure
the sickness of the law and re
anchor drifting justice, then get
you juries like Virginia's. If you
haven't them in the nianne- born,
then train them, for such you
must have.
After all is said and done, a
country's justice and a country's
fate - must forever rest in the
keeping of its juries.

William Keithley, Formerly of
Weping Water, Brings Suit
for $10,000 Damages.
William Keithley of Syracuse,
Otoe county, has brought suit in
district court against (leorge W;
Farmer, proprietor of the Wind
sor hotel, and Ernest Hunger,
chief of police. He asks damages
in the sum of $10. Don. Kethley
alleges that on July 10, last, he
was a guest, at the Windsor, and
as he was leaving the house after
having paid his bill, he was ac
costed by Fanner, who charged
that he passed ;i Canadian $5 bill
at the desk.
The hotel man demanded that
the foreign money be made good,
and upon Keithley refusing to take
up the bill, and denying that he
had given it Hunger was called.
It is asserted the chief placed
plaintiff under arrest, took him to
the station in the patrol wagon,
had him searched and locked up in
a cell with a dope fiend who was
armed with a knife. Plaintiff as
serts that he asked to be allowed
to communicate with an attorney
or friends, but that such permis
sion was refused him. In the
morning he gained his liberty by
paying Parmer $r. Lincoln

The Apple Crop.
The Nebraska apple crop will bo
large this year, especially north of
Otoe county. Last year the early
freeze killed off everything north
of that, section, while south of it
the yield was good. The south
eastern counties, however, will
not. garner as many bushels as
last season, because the trees are
taking a rest. i. S. Chri.-dy. who
has been growing apples in Ne
braska for years and makinu good
money at, if, says that there is just
as much money to be made in the
business in Nebraska as there is
in the much-advertised northwest.
Here, as there, it is simply a
question of givintr the trees in
telligent, and unremitting care. If
one were to believe all the land
agents in the northwest, say all
there is to apple-growing is to
have somebody plant the trees and
the owner can sit down anil count
his money by the hundreds for
each acre. In truth hard work,
done at the right time, is neces
sary to produce results anywhere.
Mr. Christy made $700 nn acre off
his fifteen acres of trees last year;
his apples sell better than do the
irrigated district apples because
they have a more natural flavor,
and the same thing is true of
other growers in the state. Lin
