WHERE THE TARIFF COMES IN.

In President Roosevelt's message
occurred the statement that the crea-
tion of those great corporate fortunes
has not been due to the tariff nor to
any other government action, but to
natural causes in the business world,
operating in other countries as well as
In our own"
This striking bit Of ''trenchant and
vigorous English" receives a special
Endorsement from the Los Angeles
Herald. 1t does not specify whether
corporate fortunes" are developments
of the animal. vegetable. or mineral
kingdom, but it maintains that they
are wholly natural"
'ihe chief reason given for its faith
is that some trusts exist in other coun-
tries. 1t quietly assumes that there
could be nothing artificial about
trusts In England or Germany, or
other European countries. This Is the
greater evidence of the Herald's
loyalty to President Roosevelt, because
only few days ago it told its readers
what a tremendous combination the
German sugar trust" was, and how
it was enabled to ruin the rest of the
world by the German sugar bounty.
We nave never heard of anyone who
asserted that all trusts are products
of the tariff. But the majority OF
American trusts are products OF the
tariff, and most of the remainder are
products of Governmental favor OF
some kind. Furthermore. no trust
could exist if our Federal and State
Governments adhered to the tradi-
tional policy of the common law ,hat
combinations restrictive of trade or
competition were injurious and un-
lawful
This is the vital point of the whole
matter, as will soon be demonstrated
in the contest between the States OF
Minnesota, Montana. the Dakotas and
Idaho with the ralroad combine. 3Ail
that Is needed in that great fight is
for the Attorney General of the United
States to cooperate with the Attorney
Generals OF the States. But will Mr.
Roosevelt's trust Attorney General
10 it? We shall. see.
Let us suppose that business COM
bination In this country Is necessary
to meet business combination In for
eign countries. Meet it where? In the
markets of the world, of course. That
is what we are going after now, on
the Republican theory. But II by COM
binaton our captains Of industry can
meet foreign competition in foreign
countries, why is any tariff needed to
enable them to meet that competition
at home? Obviously there can be no
such need.
The evident fact is that most OF our
trusts are organized to avoid domes-
tic competition, and secure the ad-
vantages of tie tariff by increasing the
prices of their products to American
consumers. That is where the burden
of tariff taxation lies. and not in the
duties actually paid on imported
goods. And that is the trust evil that
calls loudest for removal. II there Is
any benefit in business combination
it is as easy to obtain IT without the
evil resulting from the tariff attach
ment.

WANTED THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS
Tender But TantaIizing Farewell of
Cornell Undergraduate to
the Faculty.

Cornell university has its fair quota
of harum-scarum youths, who, after
pyrOtechnic careers, suddenly disap-
pear from the university's ken. A
wasteful genius was recently hailed
before the faculty to answer charges
of such violent fractures of discipline
that even in his most optimistic mo-
ments he had not hoped to explain
or disprOve them satisfactorily, says
the New York Tribune. However, he
faced the music and even stood with
a considerable degree of composure
while proof after proof if misconduct
was presented. Finally when the evil
dence was all in and the hush fell
on the assembly that precedes SEN
tence, the prodigal raised his down
cast eyes, and, in a voice full of emo
ton, said:
Il have only one last request to
make"
"And what is that?" asked the pre-
siding officer.
THAT you will give me your pro-
tOgraphs to remember you by"
With this parting shot he lodged
out of the door, which he had taken
pains to stand near The professors
lay back in their chairs and laughed
long and loud. Then they took the
vote that severed the official connec-
ton between themselves and their
tender young friend.

Mile. scroggins, First Effort.

Miles ScrOggins was more than so
years old, noted for his drOll wit and
funny sayings, but had never attempt
ed to make a speech. All the mem
bers of the club believed he could
speak if he would try, and frequently
attempted to have him make the eff
fort.
Tt'was finally determined to compel
him to speak. So, upon the assembling
of the club, he was called upon and,
declining to comply, the boys grabbed
him and forcibly placed him upon a
table, amidst the cheers of the crowd.
To the establishment of all he mani
tested great embarrassment. The
crowd continued to yell, and final
ly he broke forth as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Oh, beg
your pardon, there are no ladies pres
ent, and ID few gentlemen, if
any"
After this sally the curiosity of the
crowd was satisfied, and no further
effort was made to have ScrOggins
make a speech.-Buffalo Courier.

DALLAS REUNION GROUNDS.
Cotton Belt Railroad Has Splendid
Facilities for Reaching Same.

An incorrect impression has gotten
abroad that the Fair Grounds at Dallas,
which are to be used for the Confederate
veteran reunion, April p to %, are reached
by and accessible to only one line of railway
entering Dallas.
In the interest of the citizens of Dallas
and of veterans who contemplate attending
the reunion this erroneous II preston Is
corrected. In addition to the railroad re
ferred to, the Cotton Belt route passes the
reunion grounds, where all trains will stop,
and furthermore, this line has tracks on
Parry avenue, opposite the main entrance
to the grounds, where tn ~ or forty sleep
ers and other cars can be parked for use
of the veterans during the reunion.
Street cars also run every few minutes
between Dallas and the Fair Grounds, and
veterans need have no fear that, come as
they may, ample Accommodations and facili-
ties viii not be provided for them.

NOT A NATIONAL BANK.
Woman Gives a street Car Conductor
Ten-DOIIar Note and Regretted
Having Done So.

One of those thoughtful women who
present ten-dollar bill on a street car
for their five-cent fare received a les
son the other day which she is not apt
to forget. She handed the bill to the
conductor with an air of innocent I'M
concern which was just a little too
pronounced to be natural. The con-
ductor, a young fellow, unlike most
of his kind, made no protest. The
woman looked relieved in spite of her
self as he accepted the money and
retreated to the rear platform of the
car to make change.
1t was fully ten minutes later before
the young man strobe into the car,
holding both hands before him so as
to form a cup.
"Here you are, madam" he an
nounced, in loud voice which at
tracted the attention of the otherp
sengers. Here's the change for that
ten-dollar bill. I'd advise you to count
it and make sure it's all right"
Saying this, he opened his hands and
poured a stream of dimes, nicllels and
cents into the woman's lap.
ooh, OH" gasped the woman, as she
gathered up her dress to prevent the
coins falling on the floor. "Why, this
is dreadful! 1 can't get all this money
in my purse. Haven't you got larger
change than this?"
''No, ma'am," responded the con-
dLctor. THAT'S the best I can do"
''But I thought you could give me
bills" protested the woman.
''Tm sorry, madam" said the con-
ductor, according to the New York
Times, but you had no right to think
so. / amt no national bank"

BITS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
A Few Suggestions which May Not
Come Amiss in Her Domestic
Iiuties.

A recipe for crab soup said to have
descended from Martha Washington
herself is found in an old manuscript
recipe book: Fifteen crabs thrown
into boiling water alive. Boil until
done; meat picked up fine; put into
two quarts of water in which a pound
of middling bacon has been boiled
Beat yollls of two eggs; stir in pint
of rich milk which has been heated.
Then pour into the boiling crab soup
which must not boil, but cook few
minutes after mixing. Season with
salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
An easy way to soften hard water
delightfully."- is to throw orange peel
into it just before the water Is used
The peel will not only prove agree
able to the skin, but will give out
fragrance like that which follows the
use of toilet water, says the New
York Post.
A delicious rice compound calls for
pint of rice thoroughly washed and
put in a saucepan with a pint of
boiled milk and a stick of cinnamon.
After cooking until the milk is alb
sOrbed remove from the stove, take
out the cinnamon and set the rice
and milk aside to cool. When cold
add the yOllIs of four eggs beaten
together with an ounce of sugar.
Beat the whites of six eggs to a
foam. Whisk into the rice and beat
the mixture thoroughly. Pour it into
buttered dish, bake to light brown
and serve the moment it leaves the
oven.
For an irritating throat cold and
rasping cough an Old-fashiOned home
remedy that has received the indorse-
ment of more than one physician is
worth noting. Pour half pint of
hot water over pound of the best
gum arabic; cover and let stand I'M
til the gum is dissolved, then add a
quarter of a pound of pure white
sugar and a full half gill of strained
lemon juice. Simmer the mixture
over the fire about ten minutes be-
fore bOttling and sealing with a tight
cork This sirup may be taken by
the teaspOonful diluted with little
water at frequent intervals.
a harmless and clearly treatment
to drive away mice is to saturate a
cloth with cayenne pepper in solu-
tion and stuff it into the hole. Dry
cayenne thrown about will keep ants
and cOckrOaches away.
Salad baskets, for the benefit of
those who may not know, are large,
round, shallow affairs made with
handles and widely woven of fine,
strong willow. In these the fresh
green salad leaves are washed. They
should be cut from the roots and
dropped loosely into the basket.
Plunge basket and all up and down
in a large pan of water, after which
they should stand in a cool place to
allow the leaves to drain.

sDecimens of Professors, wit.

DR.. Varnadoe, a noted professor of
Greek, is very fond OF flowers, and,
some days ago, on returning from his
college duties, he found in his front
yard a peStiferous calf belonging to a
neighbor The doctor gave chase, and
the animal plunged toward the flower
pit, and in another instant crashed
through the glass cover and mixed at
random with the pots and plants be-
low. When another professor passed
a few minutes later, he said, gravely:
Il do not understand, DR.. Varnadoe,
why you should object so seriously to
having a modest cowslp added to
your fine collection of plants" The
doctors frowning face relaxed. "Ah,
Sanborn," he retorted, you see, this
was only worthless bulrush. AR

GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES
Measure Follows the Lines of Repre-.

The republican members of the House

fecting the bill providing a civil form Of
government for the Philippines. In the
main, the measure, as far as perfected, fol-
lows that introduced by Chairman Cooper
and favored by Judge Taft, but subcom-
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Cooper,
Moody, Crumpacker and Hamilton, has
made a number Of changes In matters of
detail.
In its present form. the bill provides for
the institution of civil government In the
Philippines when the governor shall certify
to the President that state Of permanent
peace has been secured. Thereafter a CEN
sus is to be held, and the islands divided
into districts. A legislative assembly is
created, consisting Of two houses. The up
per house Is to some extent a continuance
of the Philippine commission. The lower
house, or Philippine assembly, is to be
elected by the people.
The coinage feature of the bill has not
been finally decided upon, but the discus
sion during the last two days has indicated
strong preference for applying the gold
standard to the Philippine coinage, allowing
the native coins to be made out Of silver
but in all cases having their value meas
ured by the gold standard It is intended
also to have the new coins made out of
silver bullion now in the United States

. ARMY BILL TAKEN UP.
Election Laws and the Philippines Dis.
. - RI 1s-t cuSsed.

After the House had decided to unseat
Nj. Rhea and seat Mr.. Moss yesterday af-
ternoon. consideration of the army appro-
priation bill was begun, with the under
standing that general debate should con-
tinue for ten hours. Mr.. Scarborough of
South Carolina discussed the southern cleo
ton laws and Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee the
Philippine situation, 10
So far as the state of South Carolina was
concerned, the former declared that her
election laws would stand the most rigid In
vestigation, but the southern people OBJ
jected to an investigation by a partisan,
prejudiced committee The negro question
III the south, he said, was a sociological
not a political, problem. and the revival of
sectionalism could only result in making
its solution more difficult.
Mr.. Gaines (Tenn.) submitted some re-
marks relative to. the necessity of
maintaining large standing army in the
Philippines. He read a statement from a
prominent United States army officer who
served in Cuba and the Philippines" but
whose name Mr.. Gaines declined to dis
close, which declared that the Philippines
could not be held except at the point of
the bayonet, unless the natives were assured
that ultimately they should have independ-
ence, after which the House adjourned.
