TIMES CHANGES.

The New York Sun is curious to know
what would General Benjamin Harrison's
grandfather have said, if that simple and
pious patriot could. have looked out of his
log-cabin door as the Atzalan, the Coronado,
the New Zealand, the Ideal, and the Nacuna
rolled by, with the grandson at the tai of
the observation car making observations for
1922"
The contrast suggested is made the more
fOrcible by the reminder that President
Harrison's grandfather used to do his
travelling on horseback Between the soil
tary hurseman and the OCCUPANT of an OBJ
servatIon car speeding through the country
at the rate of forty miles an hour there is
half century of time. There has been no
other half century like it in the worlds
history. The hOrseman of 1871 was as
naturally on his horse as the occupant of a
palace car in 1891 is in his car. There were
railroads long before the elder Harrison
was elected President. In 1882 the steam
engine was connecting cities in the older
States. In 1910, when Harrison was elected,
travel by railroad had become quite COM
mon. But Harrison had formed his habits
at an earlier day and had not lived in the
section of the country in which railroads
were the most generally used.
The San contrasts the simplicity of the
grandfather with the magnIficence of the
grandson, to the disparagement of the lat
ter Doubtless if William Henry Harrison
had lived half century later and had en-
joyed the distinction he enjoyed at his
earlier period he. too, would have taken his
ease in palace ear. But it is very doubtful
if William Henry would have acquitted
himself as well in his intercourse with
people from all sections of the country as
his grandson does. Neither is there reason
to believe that the simple and pious
patriot whom the SIN extols was better
citizen or better President than the de-
scendant who succeeds to the chair of state
after lapse of nearly half century.

D1FFERENCEs OF OPINION.

Our CONTEMPORARIES of the Altd California
object to the views of THE CALL where we
suggested that it would be advantageous to
the Southern States if they were divided in
politics between the two great political par
ties instead of voting solidly with the DEM
ocratic party. The inhabitants of the South
are not yet entirely over the prejudices
aroused by the abolition of slavery, but we
apprehend that our contemporaries will
agree that any action founded upon those
prcjudices of the past are now out OF place.
The inhabitants of the Southern States are,
to say the least, as safe when acting with
the Republican party as they are with the
d enocratic party. Indeed, had it not been
for the acknowledgement of Northern Demo-
cratic leaders it is possible that the war
would not have been inaugurated 1t is, at
any rate, quite certain that the South now
labors under Disadvantages by voting sol
idly for Democratic candidates, and that
S ueh action keeps alive prejudices which.
w ould not otherwise exist. The Southern
States were brought back into the Union by
measures instituted and consummated by
the Republican party, and it is certain,
also, that the South has been most literally
dealt with by the Republican party. As we
suggested few days ago, it is probable
that the Southern States are upon the point
of dividing upon the great political issues of
the day, that they will not much longer vote
as one man, for it is manifestly for their in
terrst not to do so. There are several
States at this time which are very nearly
evenly divided politically, and some of these,
in our opinion, will soon act with the Re-
publican party. When this shall take place
the old animosiiies will soon disappear.

WHAT DOCTORS MAY NOT DO.

Judge Pryor of New York has laid down
the law as it relates to a physician and his
patients. Among the things the doctor may
do is to decline TO treat a person unable to
pay his charge, and among those he may
not do is to neglect a patient for that or
any other reason. The case was an action
for damages for maltreatment, the defense
being that the patient was unable to pay.
little law for physicians to regulate their
charges by would not come amiss. Bills
are now often made out according to the
financial standing of the patient. No other
service is regulated in the same way. A
man seeking employment would not expect
larger salary from a very rich man than
from enc with just means enough to keep
his credit good. Merchandise is sold for
what it is worth in the market, not for what
the purchaser is able to pay. 1t is urged in
defense Of this loose system of regulating
charges that doctors do a good deal of work
for nothing. This is true. but not especi-
ally true of the class of doctors who upon
occasion make out exorbitant bills. The
doctors that do work for nothing are mostly
those who are building up practice. After
a practice is built up the patient who can
pay is pretty sure to be treated in prefer
ence to one who cannot But the point

OHIO.

There is some intimation of discord in the
ranks of Ohio Republicans. Ex-Governor
Foraker's reference to "Blaine's magnif-
cent administration at the Republican
League Convention shows hostility to the
President. 1t is known that the President
has not consulted Foraker in the matter Of
appointments, preferring the counsel of
Sherman and Mckinley. The reasonable
certainty that Mckinley will be the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor does not please
the Ex-Governor. Should Mckinley win the
State that Foraker lost the former would be
wellup in the list of Republican Preslden-
tial candidates. The recent town elections
in Ohio indicate that Mckinley is recover
ing lost ground. In the Western Reserve
the old-time Republican majorities reap

During this period sugar was on the dut!-
able list. Tie importation was valued at
S23. 655, 162. AS sugar Is now free the rela-
tive value of free imports and dutiable i'm
ports would be obtained by subtracting this
amount from the dutiable list and adding 1t
to the free list We should then have $685.,
673, 037 of dutiable imports against $751;
127, 5S7 of free imports. The percentage of
free imports of the whole is 4S.02. With
the increase in imports Of sugar which will
naturally follow the removal OF duties the
free imports at the present time must be
nearly or quite 30 per cent Of the whole.
The tariff of 1889 placed import duties on
nearly everything. The object was to OBJ
tain revenues. The tariff Of 1888 increased
the free list to about one-quarter of the
whole. Tue free articles were added to
from year to year until 1910, when
they amounted to AZ per cent of the whole.
The protective tariff of 1912 reduced the
proportion of free imports to about one
fifth. Under the revenue tariff enacted by
the Democrats in 1876 the free imports were
never more than one-quarter of the en-
tire imports. We can imagine our free-trade
contemporaries asking exulungly why if
one-haf tree trade is good for the country.
entire free trade would not be better? The
question, however, will not be asked seri-
ously. The imports on which duties are
levied include nearly everything produced
in large quantities in this country, while
the free imports are articles which we do
not produce at all, or in limited quantities
compared to the consumption. The prin-
ciple Of the present tariff is to tax imports
which come in competition with our own
industries and to admit goods free which We
do not produce.

PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
No Suspension of a Banner by
the G. A. II.

Supervisor Taber has sufficiently recov-
cred from his long and severe illness to at
tend to his official work again. He was
present and presided at yesterdays meeting
of the Street Committee.
In relation to the appointment of two en-
gineers to inquire into the Seventh-avenue
Reservoir, which the Spring Valley Water
Company desires to build, William n. Her.
rim, attorney for the company, stated to the
committee that the company would guaran-
tee the payment of $500 toward the expense
of having engineers examine into the FEAST
biltty of the scheme.
1t was decided to report in favor of the
final passage of the resolution appointing
Engineers Marsden Manson and George ID.
Mendell TO make the examination and an
swer the questions propounded by the Su-
pervisors.
Adolph Sutro insisted that one of the en-
gineers be selected by the prOperty-0 owners
interested, but the committee replied that
they could select q third engineer if they
wished and would pay him.
The application of the Grand Army of
the Republic for permission to suspend a
banner across Market street advertising its
May-day festival was denied.
Action was postponed for two weeks on
the application of Abner Doble and others
for a street railway franchise on Seventh
street extending into the Potrero. 1t was
explained by William Hollis, one of the
projectors, that the Seventh-street portion
of the line would be run by hOrse-p0wer
and by electricity over other streets, but
without overhead wires.
The committee decided to report in favor
of cleaning Bluxeme street once month
until July 1st, and after that as often as
required.
The County Surveyor was requested to
prepare description of the lands that
would have to be taken for the extension OF
Seventeenth street in direct line aud of
uniform width from Park road to Stanyan
street; also TO bound district that would
have TO be assessed for benefits and dam

FIFTY PER CENT FREE.

The average well-informed man would
receive with doubt the statement that under
the present tariff one-half the imports of the
United States are admitted free of duty.
Yet the statement, if not exactly true, is
very nearly so. at the Tribune Jubilee,
Major Mckinley stated that ''the new tariff
gives US wider and freer trade than was
ever enjoyed under any other tariff law"
The Tribune supports the statement with
table showing the value of free and dutiaOle
goods imported during the five months
under the present tariff, for which there are
compl etc returns. Following is the table:
