PR Es1nENT sPE4Ks ON rARIFI


whatever understanding may have
been reached at the recent conference
between President Roosevelt and repub-
lican senators, it is evident there was
no agreement, as has been intimated,
that the president was not to refer to
the tariff on his western trip. In his
speech at Cincinnati Saturday Mr..
Roosevelt clearly defined his position
in regard to the proposed removal Of
tariff duties on trust-made goods as a
remedy for trust evils.
The position of the president taken
with mature deliberation. is fully shown
in the following sentence: THE trusts
can be damaged by depriving them Of
the benefits of a protective tariff only
on condition of damaging all their
smaller competitors and all the wage
workers employed in the industry" He
went on to say that he was not con-
sidering the general question whether
or not it would be well, regardless of
the trusts, to lower duties on various
schedules, either by direct legislation
or reciprocity treaties, but simply pre-
sented the point that changes in the
tariff would have little appreciable effect
on the trusts. save as they shared in
the general harm or good proceeding
from such changes" In a case where
the tariff fosters monopoly the presi-
dent would favor modification, but at
present the only monopolies there are
have no tariff protection. 1t is the mis-
take of many to suppose that the in
dustrial combinations have no competi-
tion, whereas there are hundreds of in
dividual manufacturers all over the
country competing with them. And COM
develops pretty fast and ON no incon-
siderable scale. Huge as is the capital
ization of many of the combinations,
rivals with capitals of much more mod
est proportions are not afraid to en-
gage in competition with them.
1t is these individual enterprises, ex-
listing everywhere throughout the coun-
try which it is necessary to foster.
They are a bulwark against monopoly
and to destroy them would be to leave
the field clear for the creation Of mo-
nopolies. Removing the tariff duties
from trust-made goods would be a blow
to these individual industries which few
IL any of them could survive. The
| great combinations could doubtless
withstand the competition of foreign
combinations, but not the enterprises
with comparatively small capital. They
would be forced out of business, throw.
ing hundreds of thousands of wage
workers out Of employment and sacri.
ficing hundreds of millions of invested
capital.
| President Roosevelt and the repub-
lican party desire the preservation OF
these Industries, as being most essen
tlal to the continued development and
the prosperity of the country. They
desire 1t in the interest of American
labor and the agricultural producers OF
the country. In the language of the
president, In dealing with the big cor
poratlons we intend to proceed, not by
revolution, but by evolution" The
trusts must be controlled and regulated
so as to remedy evils and abuses, but
in way that will not be destructive
of the entire Industrial system Of the
country.

The late Lord Pauncefote, who for years
served as British minitser to the United
States, always entertained a very high opin-
ion OF the district detective force, relates
the Washington Post. In fact, he believed
they we're better even than those Of Scot
land Yard, and the manner in which he
formed this view makes a very interesting
story. During the latter part of one spring
some four or more years ago, his lordshlp
and family decided to leave the city for a
summers sojouFn on the sea coast, and
the diplomat sent word to Chief Of Police
Sylvester requesting that he send up one
OF his best detectives to assist and advise
him as to the best plan for making the
house secure against burglars.
Pursuant to request, the major sent one
OF his best men, and when he arrived his
lordship took him in to where he had locked
the silverware in a very strong. but rather
old fashioned. safe. the door OF which
lacked a combination and was secured by
lock and key. Pointing to this safe, Lord
Pauncefote exclaimed that he would like
to see the thief or burglar who could break
into that safe and steal the plate within.
The detective eyed the large iron vault for
a few minutes. and then said:
Yes, that is a very strong piece OF work,
but, nevertheless, I'll bet you a bottle Of
champagne that | can enter this house
without coming through a door or window.
| and open that safe in less than hve min.
| utes." The British ambassador took the
! bet at once, promising more than one bottle
OF champagne II the detective could make
good his boast within the time specified.

TRINITY CHURCH.


AN INSPIRING CHORAL SERVICE.
Depite the threatening weather q
large audience was present at the
choral service at Trinity church, Sun
day night, the choirs of Trinity and
St Johns uniting. Prof Platt presid-
ed at the organ and the choir was COM
posed of Mrs Nellie E. Tucker, Miss
Mamie Warner, Miss Agnes Platt, Mrs
John L. Sanford, Mrs c. S. Platt, Roy
Platt, William Tomlin, H. G. Warner
and Cecil Wright. Arthur Platt ac-
companied the organ with his violin.
The prayers we're read by Rector
George and the lessons by Rev Mr.
Wright.
The preacher OF the evening was Rev
o. q. Wright, who chose for his text,
Ephesians s: 19, "Speaking to yousel yes
in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody in
your heart to the Lord" The preach
er opened his discourse by asking ques-
tions: What was the essential idea of
worship in Christ's time? What does
st Paul refer to in the text? In spirit
Christian worship to-day is not essen
TALLY different from worship in the
Jewish dispensation. All the cere-
monies of the Old Testament centered
in our Lord. The great question of
worship does not seem to conform to
modes or forms as much as the spirit.
Worship is the outward expression of
|. the inward spirit. Service Is. due to
him by us and our spiritual culture re-
quires worship. 1t would seem strange
! if we did not unite in some hearty
thanks to our Creator and Redeemer.
We are.all lacking in the grace and
freedom of worship. :.
st Paul, in the text, gives us an idea
of worship in primitive church. The
Psalms were written for singing. In
the Jewish church the singers occupied
a prominent place. Even in the days
Of Ezra there were 200 singing men
and women. Unfortunately, sacred
music is not cultivated as it ought to
be. Sacred music Is we'll qualified to
express our religious devotions.
Hymns are more direct praise to God.
The power of hymns to inspire and
comfort is very great. The Spirit OF
life centers in the heart. Out Of the
heart are the issues of life. Being
filled with the spirit the emotions are
lifted up, and " the mind cleared OF
error. The music Of the voice inter:
prets the hymns and Psalms as we join
in the service Of God. 1t has beer
said that singing is the universal mu'
sic of mankind. Plato declared that
music Was necessary to keep the sou
healthy and Ruskin said that music
was one of the most effective OF mora
agencies. The cultivation of sacred
music prepares the soul for the recep
tion of spiritual truth. How little
comparatively do we make use Of mu
sic in the church and in the home? D(
we not need a revival of music in thu
church? How inspiring it would be Il
the singers could often meet and rem
der the grand anthems and cantatas O.
the old masters.
