SECTION %.

The 10 per cent discriminating, duty
clause of the tariff bill which Speaker
Reed says must have Slipped in" now
seems likely to result in more import
ant and far reaching complications
than were at first apparent. The new
phase of the subject which has arisen
is whether the duty of 10 per cent does
not apply to all goods imported in for
eign vessels landing at United States
ports, which are not exempt from dis
criminatory tonnage tax by express
treaty stipulatiOnS as we'll as those COM
ing in through Canada and Mexico.
The section of the law which is at
tracing so much attention, is as fol-
lows:
Section %. That discriminating du-
ty of 10 per centum ad valorem. in adj
dition to the duties imposed by law,
shall be levied, collected and paid on
all goods, wares and MERCHANDISE
which shall be imported in vessels not
of the United States, or which, being
the production or manufacture of any
foreign country not contiguous to the
United States, shall come into the Uni
ted States from such contiguous coun-
try; but this discriminating duty
shall not apply to goods, wares or mer
chandise which shall be imported in
vessels not of the United States entitled
at the time of such importation by
treaty or convention to be entered in
the ports the OnlCed states on pay
ment of the same duties as shall then
be payable on goods, wares and mer-
chandise imported in vessels of the
United States. nor to such foreign
products or manufactures as shall be
imported from such contiguous coun-
tries in the usual course of strictly re-
tail trade"
The clause corresponding to this one
in the previous tariff law provides as
follows:
THAT this discriminating duty shall
not apply to goods, wares or merchan-
disc which shall be imported in YES
sells not of the United States entitled
at the time of such Importation by
treaty or act of congress to be entered
in ports of the United States, on the
payment of the same duties as shall
then be payable on goods, etc, import
ed in vessels of the United States.'
The important part of the change
made consisted in substituting the word
convention for ''act of congress" 1t
has been in pursuance of an act of con-
gress that the president has exempted
the vessels of many foreign countries
from the discriminating duties By
the change which slipped in,''the pres
ident seems to be deprived of this pow
er.
1t is significant that no one has yet
come forward to assume responsibility
for section % or even to defend it.
1t is we'll known that Senator Elkins
was an advocate of a discriminating
duty on all gooas imported in foreign
vessels, in the alleged interest of en-
couraging and building up an American
merchant marine, and made an extend
ed speech on the subject to which no
body appeared to pay any attention.
The law as it stands does not seem
calculated TO greatly benefit American
shipping, since the vessels of many ma
lions are already protected against it's
effects by treaty. The most it is likely
to do therefore is to transfer the car
rying trade from one class of foreign
erS to another.

THOSE FOOL WHISTLES.
Arkansas City Has One of the Idiotic
Things, Too

From the Kansas City Journal
"Of all the discordant and fear-in-
spring noises for fire alarm 1 have
ever heard, the fire whistle at Arkansas
City, Kan, beats the world said H. G..
Francis of Texas at the Midland yester-
day. THE noise it makes is entirely
unlike anything else on earth. 1t is
screeching, changed bic tone that varies
from high c down to a sub bass, and
it makes the hop, skip and jump in the
most erratic fashion imaginable. The
first time heard it was one night when
all was still and quiet about the city.
1t opened up at high G and held ii
longer than Miss YaW ever dreamed of
trying and then it began hitting the
variations in the most frightful man
ner. You bet I got out of bed and
downstairs in record break ng time. 1t
sounded very close to the hotel and I
was prepared to run into a riot, a
lynching or something else quite as bad.
The night clerk sat quietly smoking
when reached the office and in answer
to my frightened inquiries said it was
only a small blaze out in the suburbs,
didn't amount to a thing and the guests
needn't allow the noise to bother them
in least. He seemed to imagin a man
could sleep in the city with that infer
nal whistle bowling, and said it didn't
bother the residents in the least.
think there will be a fine field for an
artist to practice down there if they use
the whistle very much"

Thomas A. Osborn. the former Re-

the Holland House, New York city, Sat
urday. My state is enjoying great

crop is much larger than we ina gined

grain, is quoted higher than other
grades.
Il do not like to use the word boom,
but that is just what the people are
having-a great big boom. From a
state supposed to have been mortgage
ridden, we enjoy the distinction of hav-
ing more genuine prosperity than any
other state in the Union. The mort
cages on 10000 or $4,000 homes will be
paid off this fall, which means that the
farmers will put out nearly $4,000, 900.

ALL PLANTING WHEAT.
Kansas Farmers Will Now Probably
Overdo it for Next z ear.

Kansas farmers are already prepar-
irg for substantial increases in theacre-
age of wheat for next year, Of which
Secretary Coburn says:
1.-The estimate of one month ego of
10 per cent increase in the acrea ge of
wheat that would be sown this fall is
now set forward by the farmers to Is
per cent (no one county reporting de-
crease), which would make an aggre-
gate of 3,940, ITO acres
such an enlarg ID sowing will be N ain
1y due to rapid advances in prices dur
ing the month and the encouragement
found in having previous estimates on
this years yield borne out by the
threshing machines and scales.
Should the soil continue, as now, so
dry as to interfere seriously with plow-
ing and seeding until late the contem-
plated increase will hardly be realized. -
