A Schedule of Duties on the Product Of
fered For Congressional Action.
WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. Ii The wool
conference ad journed Saturday. Before adj
iourning it issued declaration In which it
says it speaks as it believes for the whole
wool interest OF the country. The pith of
the declaration is the claim that the pro-
duction and manufacture of wool shall be
protected by au adequate tariff, and an ex-
tensive argument is made to prove this posi-
ton. The abolition of the duties in wool
would be almost fatal to the sheep industry
Congress is earnestly requested.to pass joint
resolution correcting the present erroneous
classification of worsteds by directing that
they be classified as wooden cloths, and the
passage of Aldrich's bill to suppress under
valuations is also urged
The conference presents for the considera-
ton of congress new wool schedule, which
increases the duty on flrst-class wool worth
30 cents per pound by adding l per cent. ad
vaiorem in addition to the present specific
rate of 10 cents per pound, and on ffrst-class
wool worth more than 50 cents per pound by
adding 10 per cent ad vaiorem to the present
duty of IL cents per pound.
The duty on second-class wool, goat al
paca, camel, and Lima hair worth 50 cents
or less per pound, is increased by adding IL
per cent. ad valorem to the present specific
duty of 10 cents per pound, and on second
class wool worth more than 30 cents per
pound by adding 10 per cent sd yalorem.
The duty on third-class wool worth 70 cents
or less per pound is raised from 21S to 8 cents
per pound, and on third-class wool worth
more than IL cents per pound from to d
cents per pound.
No wool shall be included in class three
which shall be imported for any purpose
other than for the manufacture of carpets or
low grades of blankets, or which shall not be
strictly such as are known and recognized as
carpet wools

misunderstanding Boys


Santa Rosa's city council has taken an
eminentlY wise and commendable course
in instructing the city attorney TO draw
up an ordinance prohibiting dealers from
selling cigarettes to youths under ten
years of age, and also making it penal
offence for children under that age to
smoke the same.
While the war has ragged with varying
fortune over the question Of tobacco from
the issuance of King Jamoa' counterblast
to the present time. no defender of the
Indian weed has ever been found who
would venture to assert that it is innox-
ious to youths and children. On the
contrary, all writer's who have studied the
question, agree that the effect of tobaccor
and especially of cigarettes is uniformly
injurious to the young, and that under
no conceivable conditions can it be harm
less to them.
1t has been demonstrated that tobacco
checks the physical growth of children,
clouds there minds and impairs their in
tellects, and develores a kind Of heart
trouble, which often results fatally. So
well Is this known and understood that
candidates for admission to the United
States Military or Naval Academy are
now examined with special reference to
disorders produced by cigarette smoking,
and large proportion of those who are
rejected owe their failure to pass the
physical examination to the injuries and
functional disorders caused by cigarettes.
1t is no uncommon thing nowadays to
see children scarcely out of dresses. puff
ing at cigarette with all the nonchal
ance imaginable; and such cigarettes;
too. as they generally arel The bSbies'
means are so limited that they can buy
nothing but the cheapest and vilest kinds
Of cigarettes, such as no man who knows
anything about tobacco would look at,
much less smoke; and with these indies
cribably nasty connections these young
sters proceed to poison themselves.

REGULATION OF COMMERCE.

This court holds that the section of the
Iowa law under consideration is essentially
regulation of commerce among the States
within any definition heretofore given to
that term, or which can be given; and
although its motive and purpose are TO per
feet the policy Of the State of Iowa in pro
tecting its citizens against the evils of in
temperance, it is none the less on that ac-
count regulation of commerce. Power to
regulate or forbid the sale of a commodity
after it has been brought into the State
does not carry with it the right and power
to prevent its introduction by trausporta-
tlon from another State.
DECLARED ILLEGAL.
For these reasons we are constrained to
pronounce against the validity of the sec
tion of the statute of Iowa involved in this
case. The judgment of the Circuit Court
of the United States for the Northern
district of Illinois, is therefore reversed" "
The opinion is by Justice Matthews.
Justice Harlan read for himself and for
the Chief Justice and Justice Gray long
dissenting opinion, maintaining the right
of State to protect the health, morals,
peace and good order of its citizens by pro-
hibiting the bringing of intoxicating liquor
into 1t from other States.
