NO AGITATION NOW
The President Opposed to Trying to
Drive the Party in the Mat
ter of Tariff.
he Expresses Himself Freely to a
Western Republican-Tariff Is
Entrenched in Senate.
Now York Sun Special Service

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Walter Wellman, In
special to the Record Herald, says that
President Roosevelt is opposed to a re-
vision Of the tariff at this time. Among
other things, Mr.. Wellman says that
President Roosevelt does not approve of
tho Iowa tariff platform. He is opposed
to tariff revision, and is especially op-
posed to tariff agitation.
To western republican who called on
him few days ago, the president ex-
pressed his opinions with great frankness.
He admitted he has several times been
tempted to lead a movement in favor of
tariff reform, as he could see that some of
the schedules sadly needed revising.
But he had finally and reluctantly come
to the conclusion that it would be unwise
TO attempt action before the next presi
Dental campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that if he were try
Ing to lead a tariff revision movement he
would only break his neck, as the party
would not follow him. The interests
which are opposed to revision, especially
to revision with reduction, were so in
trenched in the senate that nothing what
ever could be done without their consent
The president asked why he should essay
the heroic role of attempting to lead the
party in path it does not wish to travel?
Mr. Roosevelt remarked that he already
had on his hands, in the Cuban reciprocity
program, about all he could manage,
and he could not afford to complicate his
party leadership by taking on new re-
sponsibilities.
It Is not denied that the president asked
Secretary Shaw to take the lead in an ef-
fort to convince the western republicans
that revision would be unWise at this
time. In fact, Secretary Shaw's second
speech was revised at Oyster Bay and a
part OF It was suggested there. The
president is said to be apprehensive lest
the tariff revision idea take deep root in
the west and hurt the republican pros
poets In the coming elections.
The man who wrote the Iowa repub-
llcan platform has told President Roose-
welt that the tariff plank very moderately
expressed the views of Iowa republicans.
II the republicans Of that state were to
come out with full frankness the eastern
high protectionists would be a good deal
surprised. Eastern men who indorse the
Iowa plank tell the president that they
are becoming convinced the tariff can
never be revised downward by the repub-
lican party.
They have also told the president that
the condition Of the public mind on tariff
revision Is now very much like it was in
1900. The conservatives are displeased
with the radical protection attitude of the
majority and the trust question has come
in to complicate the problem. Good re-
publicans, holding high official stations
have warned the president that history
may repeat itself If the democrats can
get rid of Bryansm.
Nevertheless, the president insists that
party toward tariff revision. If the party
wishes to go that way he will be glad to
cooperate, but he will not attempt to
drive it.

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the Shen-
andoah Valley f.~.
Where the three states of Virginia, West
Virginia and Maryland come together;
where the Potomac and Shenandoah riv-
ers unite; where the towering sleeps of
the Blue Ridge end abruptly, frowning
upon the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the quaint,
historic town of Harper's Ferry John
Brown baptized it in blood in 1859, when
he captured the town and the U. s. ar
senal and made his final and fatal stand
in the enginehouse (known afterwards
as John Browns fort) alongside the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad. A plain shaft
simply inscribed now marks the location.
Again, in 1861, grim visaged war seized
the village and held it tight in its grasp
for nearly four years. The deeds that
were done and the tales that are told
concerning Harpers Ferry fill volumes.
The heights at Harpers Ferry guarded
the Shenandoah valley. 1t was a most
important stronghold to be desired when
some great campaign was planned by
either army.
From Harpers Ferry the Shenandoah
division of the Baltimore & Ohio r. R.
extends southwark to Charlestown, Win
chester, Harrisonburg and Lexington.
Battlefelds surround the village in all di-
rections.

In feeding a mixture containing

ut was rumored among the SOL
diers that the teachers had warned
the native girls to beware of the
boys in khaki, as they were the scum
of the States. Indignation meetings
were held and the teachers de-
nounced in the strongest of English.
The other day one of the soldiers
filled up with native drinks until he
was fighting mad, and he then start

contradiction, apology or fight.
THE teachers were thoroughly
scared, and they treated him with
great courtesy. They assured him
that the INT was false, and that
they could not imagine how it ever
originated.
Some of the pupils claim that
they did make the remark, however,
but l do not think they will do so

wise, and when they speak of tfc
soldier in the future they will think
long and speak slowly"

How Republicans Love the Flag.

Ambassador Choate and Whitelaw
Reid, our special ambassador to the
court Of St. James, are so English,
don't you know" that they have lost
track of the number of stars and
stripes in the American flag. The
press reports from London state:
Much comment, humorous as well as
indignant, has been evoked from
many Americans here by the fact that
the so-called American flags at Brooke
house are grossly incorrect in compo-
sition. The flag shows ten stripes and
25 stars! Americans are inclined to
regard with some amazement the ap-
parent Ignorance of Mr.. Choate and
Mr.. Reid as to the proper composition
of the emblems of the country they
represent. They do not relish the
prospect of the United States becom-
ing the target for British witticisms
on this core, and a movement is under
way to jog the memories of both am
bassadors and bring about a correc-
ton of the errors"
