The Amended Tariff Bill.

That the Dingley tariff bill would be
amended by the majority of the Senate
Finance Committee was a certainty; that
II has been amended for the better is a
question But. for better or for worse, the
bill. as amended. is now before the country.
and debate on it in the Senate will begin
in two weeks.
There are some surprises in the work of
the Senate committee. The invasion of the
free breakfast table. in the proposed duty
on tea. is one, and the proposed increase
of the tax on beer Is another Both propo-
sitions had been much discussed, but few
of the leading republicans of either house
of Congress expected to see them recon-
mended in the amended bill. Both are
recommended. ard both provoke a good
deal of discussion. There is likewise a
field outlined for sharp fighting between
the East and West on the questions of wool
and hides. the outcome of which is exceed
ingly uncertain.
The Hawaiian reciprocity problem is. un-
wisely. left open. The Senate Committee
would have done better by taking definite
stand in the premises one way or the other
1t is a highly important matter, and one
involving very much more than the mere
sugar duty question which stands inme-
diateiy In the foreground. But the reci-
procity treaty Is by no means imperiiled
by this straddle, or evasion. The Senate
will have opportunity to go definitely on
record. and friends of the treaty there and
elsewhere are confident that it will be sus-
tanned. Considerations of the highest ma
tional concern demand that it should be
sustained. The contest, at bottom, is one
between the American people and the
Sugar Trust. and members of neither house
should find it difficult to record themselves
on the right side.
The extent to which the Senate debate
and the subsequent conference between the
two houses may change the bill il now
stands is subject open widely to specula-
tion. Changes there will be, beyond
doubt Tariff bills have sometimes taken
on some Of their most prominent features
in conference. But that tariff bill. con-
sistent in the main in the imposition of pro-
lection duties, and framed to yield a suffi-
cient revenue for the support of the gov
ernment will emerge in good time from the
congressional arena is a confident expecta-
tion based alike upon the demands of the
country and the Intelligent responsibility of
the party in power.

senator MorriII.. Good Work.

Senator Morrill's re-introduced bill for the
purchase of a site for Supreme Court
building should be passed at the earliest
moment. Ii is designed to complete the
great architectural scheme started when
the magnificent Library building was locat-
ed Immediately east CT the Capitol with an
equal space on the nCrth' for q similarly
beautiful structure. Senator Morrill, de-
serves great credit for this conception and
for its execution thus far. The Library
building is today due to his sagacity and
broad view of the needs of the government.
II has been his avowed determination since
that plan weS cor summated to complete
the work by persuading Congress of the
necessity fer the erection of suitable
home for the nations highest court, now
fnadeGuately housed in the Capitol. The
court itself. to be sure, requires compara-
lively little room, but 1t is in contempla-
ton that the new structure will be made
large enough to provide not only for the
expansion of the court and it's accessories,
but also for the Department of Justice so
closely associated with this tribunal No
more appropriate union Of tenants could be
devised. and with it accomplished the ma
ton can beast of the possession of a great
temple Of justice. of which, if the work
be done artistically, 1t may well be proud.
The present bill provides only for the pur-
chase of the necessary site, which cannot
reasonably be smaller than that devoted to
the Library. 1t is fortunate that in this
enterprise there does not exist the same
obstacle to action that usually handicaps
all efforts to secure new government build
ings-the choice of a site. The location of
the Library solved that problem for the
later building. and CongI ess has no good
reason for further delay in the matter of
Senator Morrilrs measure. Procrastina-
tior is a false economy. for the cost of the
land in question will never be less than it
is today and will probably be greater. The
taking of the initial steps for the con-
demnation of the land will not necessarily
make requisite the immediate appropriation
Of any greater sum. and the plea of gov
ernmental poverty. so often made in oppo-
sition to such enterprises. should not be
raised in this case

Erance'a Calamity.

The dreadful fire that ragged yesterday ir
Paris. costing scores and perhaps hundreds
of lives, is national calamity. at which
the whole world shudders. A great assem-
blage of men and women was caught in the
twinkling of an eye in the midst of a fur.
mace from which escape was possible to
but few and only by means of the most
desperate struggles. The almost immediate
destruction of the dimsy building showed
how little attention had been paid in its
construction to the possibility of such a
Calamity. Nothing quite like this holocaust
has occurred since the great thea.er fire
in Vienna some years ago. when many
scores of lives were burned and crushed
out in few moments.

as II has been in the past, Is local patriot
ism combined with intense ambition. Their
local attachments are only equalled by
their hatred of the Turks. Their present
position of being ground between the upper
and lower mill stones between Turks and
Christians. Is no new one. For hundreds
OF years they have beeen in conflict. stern
and unyielding, with the Moslems. Since
the year 14OO Greeks have been butehered
and sold into slavery by both Turks and
Christians. Turkey and Venice, In the old
days, Wed with each other IN cfueltieS to-
wards this land. The people, cut into
shreds. yet in the 18th century were able
to rise and fight a herculean. magnificent
fight for freedom. In that war thousands
upon thousands of Greeks fell, yet the
monarchy was established and has pros
pered. The Grecian war for independence
against Turkey was in many respects SINH
lar to the present conflict 1t was marked
by internal troubles and by horrible b-u-
taiities practiced by the Turkish soldiers
The Greek navy showed its clear supcem-
acy over the Turkish marines and then, as
today practically every government in
Europe opposed the Greek effort for free
dom. The old. old story was sung and re-
sung. The Christian governments an
nounced that the integrity of Turkey must
De maintained, that otherwise the balance
of power in Europe would be disturbed.
At that time this position was taken by
every government in Europe. The people
of the European nations. however. took a
different view of the brave struggle for ra-
tional life and gradually the governments
were forced to adopt more liberal policy
towards Greece. After Turkey had prac-
ticaliy conquered she made the mistake of
firing on the allied fleet and that fact as
sured the Grecian independence. 1t is not
at all unlikely that the people of the Euro
pean governments will again force their
rulers to adopt a policy more in keeping
with Christianity than the one they have
hitherto pursued. 1t Is of interest. too
that the present reigning family in Greece
was nominated to the throne by England
They are allied by marriage and by in
terest with Russia and in sympathy with
the old-time ambition of that country to
push its way into Constantinople. All
these matters may be found to be of i'm
portance in the settlement of the present
war

The Struggle of the Greekn.

From a historical standpoint every inch
Of ground that is being fought over In
fhessaiy is sacred. IL was In this terri
tory that the ancient tribe Of UeIlenes
which gave the name of Hellas TO the peo-
pie of Greece dwelt and fourished. From
fhessaly the Argonauts started on their
search for the golden fleece. L.arissa, the
city which was the keynote OF the first
campaign In the present war, Is Of an ex-
tremely ancient origin and Is mentioned
again and again in old literature. Thessaly
has only belonged to modern Greece since
1881 when II was added after the Turkish
Russian war By the arrangement between
Great Britain. France and Turkey after
the Grecian war for independence In 1929.
Thessaly was left to Turkey and the
northern line of Greece ran along the crest
OF the Othrys Mountains. In 1881 Thessaly
took her proper place in the Grecian king
dom The country in which the fighting is
going on is generally Of a level character
but. as Is the case throughout Greece
broken into districts by mountain spurs.
Invaders Of Greece have invariably found
that the capture of one section of the coun-
Try meant only a single step In the subiu-
cation of the kingdom. Mountain range
after mountain range cuts the country in
to separate and distinct sections. Strong
and important mountain passes had to be
carried at every step of an invasion.
Xerxes entered Greece practically in the
same manner that the Turks have in this
invasion. debouched on the plains around
Lartssa and overran Thessaly, only to find
that he was little or no nearer the capture
OF Athens.
An interesting phase Of the present war
seen in the repetition of history ALREADY
developed and likely to develop. The pre-
sailing trait Of the people Of Greece to-day,
