BELIEVE TARIFF PLAN
IS ONLY MAKESHIFT
Presidents Suggestion for a Commits
sion Does Not Meet With
Much Favor.

The plan of settling the tariff ques-
ton prepared by President Roosevelt
in the appointment of a bipartisan
commission, while it appears to meet
the approval of the Republican organs,
is not enthusiastically received by the
politicians of that party.
Those of the Republican politicians
who would discuss the plan outlined
by the president expressed the idea
that it. was a good thing, but the ma
jority seen yesterday either said they
had not read about it or did not think
1t advisable to take the question out
of the hands of congress.
1.-THE question should be left to the
friends of the policy of a protective
tariff and not to those who have al
ways been opposed to it," was the COM
ment of a leading Republican who,
after making the statement requested
that his name be not mentioned.
II am of the opinion expressed by
eX-Gov. Boies in his letter published
today" said T. D. OBrien. 1.-THE tar
iff should be revised and it should be
done now"
1.-THE scheme looks to me like a
ing immediate action" said D. w.
Lawler. ANY tariff commission,
whether bipartisan or otherwise,
would be unable to report until after
the election of 1904"
"While I have read President Roose-
velt's speech, and especially the rec
concentrations he makes regarding a
revision of tariff, yet it would not be
expedient for me to offer comment at
this time" said Congressman Stevens.
president Roosevelt's desire for BIZ
partisan tariff commission is simply a
Recommendation. Even if such COM
mission was appointed it would simply
recommend. Congress cannot delegate
the power of revision to any one man
or set of men,"

more floor space is needed in our

Mrs. Condo Hamlin, who presided,
introduced Prof. Weitbrecht as the
man who had made the st. Paul Me-
chanic Arts school one of the very best
in the country. de
my text is The Hand Raises the
Machine" began Prof. Weitbrecht.
''That is true, for the machine is really
the tool Of today. What we need is a
combination of a machine to make
beautiful things and a designer be-
hind it. We must unite mechanic and
art ideas. We want mechanics who
are artists and artists who are me-
chanicS. The combination is most rare.
"The great thing is to get artistic
ideas into the minds of the manufac
turers of things in clay, metal, wood,
etc., and also into the minds of the
people who are to buy these products.
If we can't combine these two, the
distribution of beautiful things is 60
ing to be very limited"
Prof. Weitbrecht said that 1t was
possible for a boy attending the Me-
chanic Arts school to become crafts
mana carpenter or machinist in two
years. Less than 600 hours attend
ance at the school was required. Prof.
Weitbrecht strongly urged that the
art of designing and taste be taught
to children.
AS an instance of the practical re-
suits that can be attained, Prof. Welt
brecht cited the case of a child, who,
out of 6-cent burlap or crash, made
a pair Of portieres that sold in the
| open market for SIG.
Secretary E. G. Routzalin read a
letter from Albert Kelsey, of Philadel-
phia, chairman of the municipal art
section of the league, in which he adj
yocated the employment by improve
ment organizations Of expert advisers
in the matter of municipal improve
ments, and recommended that bill
boards be regulated by the city, and

nicfpal monopoly. Il
The report of the committee on res
olutiOnS was recommended.
The league expressed its regret at
the inability of President Roosevelt
to be present and its qualification at

Resolutions were adopted recon-
mending the establishment of model
school garden exhibit at the ST. Louis
exposition in connection with the
model city to be built there, and urg-

DISCUSS ARTS AND CRAFTS.
Interesting Ideas Are Advanced for
General Improvement.

General Improvement.
Interesting discussions of the arts
and crafts movement occupied the at
tention of the league in the afternoon.
The subject was discussed in it's three
aspects-in the home, in the school and
in the workshop. Mrs. Sherman, of
Milwaukee, spoke in behalf of the arts
and crafts movement in the house. It's
influence in the school was eXpounded
by Miss May Golfer, teacher in the
Mechanic Arts school in this city, and
Prof. George Weitbrecht dwelt upon
it's Importance in the workshop.
1.-THE arts and crafts movement in
the home" said Mrs. Sherman, Ought
to begin with the house itself. In the
first place a proper site should be Sc
lected. The owner should consider the
drainage of the ground, then it's loca-
ton, with reference to elevation and
view.
1.-THE next thing to be considered is
the material of which the house
should be built; that is, it's structural
and decorative value. The rooms
should be tremendously constructed
and the windows properly arranged.
There's nothing so useless and unor-
namental as bad windows, great gashes
in the side of the house.
''When in the house let us have the
feeling of being indoors.
"Too many little rooms, closets and
cubbyholes are also to be avoided. They
are confusing to architects. Better
large rooms and few closets and good
ventilation
Mrs. Sherman dwelt upon the impor-
lance of buying good furniture, as dis
tinguished from cheap, and remarked
that most of the furniture now found in
the shops was wholly meretricious.
That was because the manufacturer
get the best-looking pieces at the low
est cost, and consequently would not
place any good designs before his

chautauqua Is Selected.
Chautauqua was selected as the next
place for holding the third annual
meeting Of the American League for
Civic Improvement. The decision was
reached at the brief business meeting
which preceded the programme of pa
pers at the Commercial club yesterday
morning. Thomas Hill, a member Of
the Duluth Commercial club and a del
egate to the convention, extended an
invitation to the league to meet in the
Zenith city. The two invitations oc-
casioned a little discussion.
Judge Slabaugh, Of Omaha, thought
that Western cities needed the conven-
ton more than Eastern cities. How
ever, the fact that the Park and Out

falo at the same time that the league
will hold it's convention Influenced the

Herman Rhode Accuses Man of Steal
ing Horse to His
Sorrow.

Because his horse ran away Her
man Rhode, gardener, living at Mac
kubin and Minneapolis streets, last
night, tried to beat a friend who cap
tured the animal, and as result Of his
encounter is at the city hospital suf-
fering from scalp wound.
The horse was tied to post at Dale
and Topping streets, and while Rhode
was in saloon the animal slipped the
halter and ran north on Dale street.
It had gone but a few blocks, when 1t
was captured by friend OF Rhodes,
whose name was not learned by the
police.
The owner was told of the runaway
and at once started in pursuit Of the
horse. He met his friend returning
with the animal Rhode accused the
man of stealing the horse. A fight fol-
lowed, in which Rhode was injured

SCENE At THE RECEPTION GIVEN The ROOMS OF THE ART GUILD

mornings attendance was much larger
than that of the previous morning.
When Mrs. Condo Hamlin, in the alb
sence of President Zeublin, called the
meeting to order there were over 100
people present. DR.. Ida G. Bender, of
Buffalo, N. Y, and Mrs. w. e. Scott.
Of Princeton, N. j., presented the sub
ject Of the public school; DR.. Bender,
from the standpoint of it's government,
and Mrs. Scott, in a more specific
paper, speaking of 1.-THE Public Schools
and Citizenship"
"Our school boards" said DR.. Bender,
"have become so used to hearing it de-
clared that America has the best school
system in the world that they have be-
come blinded to any defects. They
conduct the schools in automatic fash
ion, infusing little or no vitality into
their government. They are conserva-
tive almost to the point of narrowness.
School life is not merely a matter of
the learning of lessons by the children.
Children must be taught an apprecia-
ton of civic conditions and principles.
1--WE pride ourselves on the perfec-
ton of our own school systems, but If
we study the systems of France and
Germany we will find that they reach
directly the life Of the people. And
that Is what we want to reach in our
own system of education. Right llv-
ing, worthy aims, a code Of life that
will endure not for the school year but
for life is what we must teach the
children"
Work Is Grind.
The speaker considered the greatest
difficulty that confronted those who
wanted to see an improvement in
school methods was a general failure
on the part of those at the head of
the schools to grasp the first principles
of municipal government. Teachers are
given no opportunity to learn civic re-
sponsibilities or the management of
civic affairs. Their work is grind
that gives them little chance to obtain
a broader culture for themselves or to
infuse enthusiasm into those under
| their care"

Miss Golfer spokeg Interestingly of

school.
Decoration of the. school room Is
one of the most effective ways of
teaching art" said Miss Golfer. 1--WE
no longer attempt to teach drawing
with a pencil or brush alone. We find
we can do better with a chisel or "a
hammer. Too many Of us draw or
paint"
Miss Golfer declared that the deco
ration of the school room exerted a
vast effect upon the pupils. She de-
plored the kalsomined walls, against
which were hung or tackled black and
white pictures, SO out Of harmony.
The child who daily beholds such a
lack of beauty unconsciously forgets
what beauty and harmony are.

MAN SAVED BY GEESE
FOWL LEAD TO DISCOVERY OF
UNCONSCIOUS DAIRYMAN
Ole Rasmussen Lies Twelve Hours in
Marshy Field After Being Kicked by
Horse Until Presence Is Betrayed by
Flock of Crows and Kissing Birds.

The squawking and kissing of flock
of geese that surrounded his PROSTATE
body and the cawing of score of
| crows that circled above 1t, probably
saved the life of Ole Rasmussen, q
dairyman, who lives five miles south
of ST. Paul on the Dodd road At
least it led to the discovery of the
man, lying unconscious in an aban-
/, doned marshy pasture, where for more
than twelve hours he was exposed to
the cold, suffering confusion on his
forehead, the result of a kick admin
istered by a vicious horse.
Wednesday evening Rasmussen left
his home, saying to his wife that he
| was going to his pasture to drive in
| the cows. He did not return at z
| o'clock, so his son Peter was sent after
the cattle. Mrs. Rasmussen thought
that her husband had gone to st. Paul,
so she did not worry over his absence.
He often went to the city without in
forming his wife of his departure.
When her husband did not return
late Wednesday evening Mrs. Rasmus-
sen became anxious. She waited until
nearly o'clock and then retired. Early
yesterday morning preparations were
made to drive to st. Paul and notify
the police of the mans disappearance.
Peter Rasmussen's eleven-year- old
son, was to accompany his mother in
the search for the missing husband
and father. They started shortly after
6 o'clock.

"But that up there might be father"
responded the boy leaping from the
buggy and running through the field
toward the object which interested the
birds.
When Peter arrived at the spot he
hesitated for a moment. Then turning
he threw his arm in the air, crying:
Mother, it's father, it's father!" In
moment he was Joined by Mrs. Ras-

Rasmussen was at once taken to his
home and soon after regained con-
seriousness. He was so weak, how
ever that he was able to give but a
brief account Of how he was injured.
