loss and to them we offer the com
fort that he was a consistent member
ing to explain the present hard times 0f the Smyrna M. E. church. The
writer had known him for many
and unsettled condition of business:
"If the business world had been
permitted to adjust Itself to the sit
uation as it was when the present
tariff law was first enacted, there
would have been no ground for pes
simism or for the DostDonment of
full vrosperity. There is no reason
tadar for fearing serious disturb
ance, but the senseless assaults on
the new tariff have kept alive fears
that would ctherwlse have been al
layed."
From which we take it that The
News agrees with President Taft In
his assertion In that memorable Win
ona speech which, by the way, he
hasn't repeated lately In which he
aid that the Aldrich-Payne tariff is
the best we have ever had.
Are the attacks on the new tar
Iff, made by Democrats and Insur
gent Republicans, senseless? How
does the editor of The News recon
cile his views as given above with
President Taft's plan, Just announc
ed, to make the keynote of his com
lag campaign a further revision of
the tariff? According to dispatches
sent out from Beverly, the summer
capital, by the Associated Press, a
non-partisan news-gathering bureau,
the President has at last reached the
conclusion that there is decided
room for Improvement In the tariff
as It now stands.
We do not believe the President
can convince the voters of this coun
try that he Is sincere In his advocacy
years and always found him trying
to do the thing that was right.

Negro Kills Brother.
As we go to press we learn that
Leroy Jones, a colored boy about 13
years of age was shot and killed at
9 o'clock this morning by his
brother, Cleveland Jones, about
18 years of age. The killing took
place on Mr. W. G. Rhyne's farm
between Gastonla and Lowell. A
coroner s inquest is Deing neia iaia
afternoon. It Is said the boy claims
the gun was accidentally discharged.
The boys were bathing In the creek
at the time of the killing.
What the Waste Would Do.
Senator Aldrich recently said that
the federal government could be run
for $300,000,000 less than It is now
costing. Mr. B. F. Yoakun, head of
the Frisco system, quotes that state
men and makes this comment:
'I can say as emphatically that
$300,000,000 annually will give to
this country 100,000 miles of Im
proved public highways a year.
