(Special Cor respondence). Democratic leaders in Washington are much chagrined at the speech delivered recently by Senator Furnifold Simmons, before the democratic state committee at Raleigh, North Carolina. Senator Simmons’ speech was looked forward to with a great deal of confidence by the democrats, be cause It was expected to be the only t genuine simon-pule keynote speech of the party for the 1916 campaign. There will be a so-called keynote speech delivered at St. Louis by Mart Glynn, but remembering his futile at-, tempt to answer Elihu Root, the demo crats had pinned small confidence on Glynn’e St. Louis peroration. With the faint hope of stirring in their bosoms that the democratic party will fatten at the public trough for the next four years, and realizing the fact that the Hon. Furnifold Simmons might continue as the chairman of the finance committee, the committee which, when it comes to a showdown, dictates the fiscal policy of this coun try, the democrats had faith that Mr. Simmons’ speech vyould so manipulate statistics and languages that the country would feel sufficiently as sured to place one more bet on the disciples of Woodrow Wilson. Little consolation do they find in the Raliegh speech. Simmons is as uncompromising a free trader as ever. The panorama of future trade offers no terrors for Furnifold. Wilson has relented to the extent of espousing a tariff commission, because of "chang ing conditions;” the democrats, gene rally, believe that a revision of the tariff, on the plea of "additional reve nue,” is advisable, but Simmons, hav ing swatted business with an axe, pleads “guilty” and looks to the coun try for vindication. This uncompro mising attitude of the chairman of the finance committee will embarrass Woodrow Wilson in making conces sions to the November voters. How can the leader of the party declare for a new tariff bill, when the chair man of the senate committee who is largely responsible for the present law, presents a brief in its favor? One of the worst breaks of Senator Simmons, in presenting his tariff ar gument to the North Caroline demo cratic state convention, is to be found in the following contradiction. “You cannot revise the tariff in the interest of the people unless you lower the wall enough to let the foreigner over, unless you write it low enough to allow competition from abroad, when the price here is above the level of a fair and just profit. That is what we aimed to do, and I think have done.” Then, flying to the defense of the present law, he says: “There was some increase in our total imports during the year immediately pre ceding the war, just as there had been a constantly continuing increase in our imports both under the Dingley tariff, and the Payne-Aldrich tariff, but the ratio of increase in our total, as of our free imports under the demo cratic tariff, were, during that period, no greater, indeed, not so great, as the average annual increase under the Payne-Aldrich tariff during its whole life. Indeed, our imports for that year were 1120,000,000 less than I estimated when I, as chairman of the finance committee, reported the bill to the senate in 1913.” Democrats point out that this is a further confession of failure of the Underwood-Simmons law. If the bill did not encourage imports, as Sim mons declares it did not, then the democratic tariff theory goes to the discard, and what is the use of giving publicity to its failure? The people know that the law was a failure as a revenue producer, that it did cause business depression, and now Sim mons has robbed the free traders of their last argument in favor of the democratic law by declaring it was not an encourager of imports, a false hood which the party is estopped to deny. Altogether, Senator Simmons i has got himself in “Dutch.” and will probably keep quiet the rest of the year. - That resident Wilson will draft the St. Louis platform is the word passed about among democrats. As a phrase maker the president is at his best. Judging by the way democrats have mutilated their platform of 1812, these quadrennial democratic profes sions of principle need be nothing more than an attractive collection of phrases. In this capacity then tne i Presdent can serve his party well. Then the President has had literary | experience that comes to few authors through - the heavy demands made on his pen in notes in Germany. More over, there is a striking parallel be tween notes to Germany and demo cratic platforms. Both documents i must look, first upon inspection, to be courageous declarations of principle with ultimatums tacked on the end. Then there must be a second and milder interpretation, hovering in be tween the lines, available for use if it becomes inexpedient to stand on the first grounds. Finally, it must be pos sible to surrender on every point with honor and dignity, that is, gracefully. Surely President Wilsons’ success with “strict accountability” notes and similar documents gives him some considerable standing among the phrase makers ambition to pen that St. Louis platform. Colonel Roosevelt says that if the next political campaign is waged on the tariff issue such an appeal would be an appeal to the belly and not to the soul of this nation. But a man with an empty belly is mighty likely % to smash one of the ten command ments and thereby imperil his soul. The Lord employed the miracle of the loaves and fishes to feed the multi | tude. After they had been fed he gave them spiritual advice.

Aufrecht’s team took a little spin ■ down the railroad tracks last week j Wednesday and just as they got across the B. & M. tracks and north of the coal sheds they made a turn north and no telling how far they would have gone if one of the wheels had not have run straddle of a guy wire.

The dispute between Mike Klimek and Alfred Jorgenson as to the right corner to their lands has been settled tlfe past week by the state surveyor.! He worked one week and reestablished the old corner lost twenty-eight years ago. Raymond, surveyor for Sherman ! county could not find this corner so established a new one, but the state surveyor changed it and got it as near to the old government survey as possible. There has been hundreds of dollars in money and time spent1 on the survey of this corner. Alfred just wanted what was coming to him and had the county surveyor run the line so he could put his fence on the right line. Mr. Corning is not to blame for he found the corner that was es-. tablished by Raymond twenty-eight years ago. Alfred is satisfied with the findings and will not ask a resurvey of the line. The state surveyor did other surveying while here. E. P. DAILY FURNITURE CO. Sells for less and pays the freight **—1 _ ..— ■ .— — '■■M .

Your money's worth or your money hack A traveling salesman had what might have been a serious automobile accident happen to him last Wednes day afternoon about four o’clock. He was coming down on the crooked I grade just north of Clark Alleman s when one of the wheels got in the soft clay and the car kept going down the embankment on the east side. He stopped the car and turned the front wheen just as far as he could and then gave it lots of power and it went out like a streak of lightning, but it went so fast that he did not have time to turn the wheel back and he shot over the embankment on the other side like a flash. The car which was a Maxwell, rolled completely over setting with all four wheels on the ground except one which was resting across the salesman's stomach. Reach ing up he took hold of the fender and forced the car to release his body. Out side of being badly frightened and more or less bruised he was alright. Had it hapened ten feet further the car would have been badly damaged. Geo. Brock and sister, Florence, had a narrow escape from being gored to death by a mad bull last Wednesday morning. Geo. was first attacked by the bull. It came at him in the pas ture knocking him to the fhrand and as fast as Geo. could regain his feet, it would knock him down. This lasted for most an hour. In his efforts to get away from the bull he managed to get closer to the fence and make a last and mighty effort to put the fence be tween them, but in slipping under the fence, his clothing got tangled in the fence and the bull was on him again. Just as he had given up all hopes of his life he could see his sister running toward him. He tried to call to her to go back but was all out of breath and could not make her hear. The girl beat at the bull until it left her brother __I PROGRAM FOR JENNER’S PARE OPENING DAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 8. 11:30 A. M.—Address by Mayor R. H.

Itnagine his horror if you can when the bull attacked his sister and he not being able to help her, not even himself. In some way after being knocked down several times and bunted around and thrown into the air, the bull had gotten out of breath and was leaving her alone ( a few minutes. She not being badly i hurt made another effort to escape. I She ran to her brother and helped j him into a tree while she went to the neighbors for help. When they re turned with shot guns and forks the bull was hacking and pawing the boy's clothing to pieces. The sister’s cloth ing was torn into threals and when she arrived at Mr. Herman's home she had to tell who she was, as her clothing being in such shape, her hair all tangled and her head bleeding in several places. The bull seemed to bunt instead of hook and did not paw its victims as in the case with bulls. Each one have many wounds made by the horns, all over their bodies. Their mother is an invalid, having to use a wheel chair. Dr. Penn and Dr. West, of Ravenna attended to their wounds and they said they could not tell which of them was hurt the worst. They had to give her medicine " to rqake her heart act. If ever there was a person in this world that ought to get a Carnegie medal for bravery, Miss Florence is one. She risked her life to save her brother, and if she had not got her brother into a tree even though he was on the over side of the fence the bull in his maddened rage would have went through the fence like so much paper and killed him before she could have returned . with help. Miss Florence Brock will be remembered as teaching school in the Verderette district several years * ago. Both at this writing are getting along fine.
