SENATOR QUARLEs is of the opinion
that the time has come when wise
re-adjustrne at" of such of the tariff
schedule as tend to foster monopoly
would prove wholesome. The Senator
in a letter to a Milwaukee friend,
which has been given wide publica-
ton. takes occasion to express his
views in regard to the growing demand
for revision Of the tariff. He says:
my contention has always been and
is that domestic competition is fun
damental element in the system of
protection as framed by the Repub-
1ican party. When great combina-
tions of capital seek to monopolize do
nestle production and destroy or abb
sorb independent importers for that
purpose, it is time for Congress to in
terfere and invite foreign competition
to Illustrate such design. think the
time has come when revision of GER
tain tariff schedules is wise, and wise
readjustment will, in my opinion,
prove wholesome.
ct is always necessary to distin-
guish between the principle of protec-
ton and the tariff schedules which
constitute only ali application of that
principle. It is reasonable to expect
that the wonderful changes in COM
mercia1 conditions which we have wit
messed in the last six years, amounting
methods, would make necessary revis.
ion of these schedules. To "stand
pat" at such time is to ignore facts
and conditions with which everybody
is familiar

Big Cold Storage House of A. L. Cur
It's at BerryvilIe Destroyed by
Fire Saturday Night.
PRICELESS RELICS DESTROYED
Flat Owned by Walter nj. Cowell on Park
Morning-F. III. Nichols Great Loss,

The A. L. Curtis cold storage plant
at Berryville was destroyed by fire
Saturday night. In the building were
1000 bushels of potatoes, 25O,ton of
cabbage and considerable farm ma
chinery, all of which was reduced to
ruins. The damage is estimated at
about So 900 and the insurance about
the same.
The fire broke out near II O'Clock
and was not discovered until half an
hour afterwards. The North Western
depot agent was the first one to notice
it. He had just left the depot headed
for neighboring place on an errand,
when the glaring reflection of the FIRE
attracted his attention. He notified
Mr.. Curtis and appraised the villagers
of the fact and soon the fire was being
fought by a bucket brigade, and with
ing finally had to be abandoned and
left to the mercy of the flames as the
fighting weapons were inadequate.
The origin of the FIRE is mystery.
Mr.. Curtis said this morning that he
had not the faintest idea from what it
started. No one is known to have been
in the building after 6. O'Clock Friday
evening, that being about the time
when the teamster who had been haul
ing truck to the depot from the ware
house during the day, left there with
the last load. According to his state
ments he found everything in order
and then closed the doors of the build.
ing for the night.
Several of the North Western COM
pany's cars on the side track near the
cold storage building also came dam
gerously near being consumed by the
flames. They were all loaded with
cabbage and potatoes, and when it be-
came evident that the fire could not be
checked the agent had to telegraph to
Kenosha for a special engine with
which TO move them to a place of
safety.
The cold storage house was erected
about eight years ago. During the
last FIVE years'Mr. Curtis has been rum

now notorious ice law, for which the
member from this county was the
sponsor two years ago, and which the
State Supreme Court declared uncon-

last winter by cutting and shipping
ice out of the State and refusing to pay
the 10 cent tax levied on each ton.
Chapter 40, laws of 1901, has gone
down into history as one of the most

JOHN d. RocKEFELLER has been
getting an idea of what publicity
means the last day or two since the
kilograms he is alleged to have. sent to
Washington'were given to the press.
If Rockefeller really sent the tele-
grams he must be smitten with the
madness of wealth, which leads its
possessors to believe that money can
accomplish anything. The order is
sued in his name was the one thing
necessary to accomplish the very thing
he was trying to defeat. This is no
time for the aspiring politicians to be
tarred with the trusts brush.

W00dmen of Kenosha See the NeceS-
sity of Raising the Rates to Keep
the Order Together.
MORE MONEY MUST BE PAID IN.
Increasing Death Rate in the Order In
ereases the Demands for Benefits-New
Plan Favored by Many Members.
lFrom Tuesdays pailyl

After a careful study and with an
interview with several of the local
members of the Modern Woodmen of
America in regard to the readjustment
plan for increa sing the rate of insur-
ance 10 this order, representative of
the News learned their opinion in re-
gard to the matter. The plan will, if
adopted, give every member the indi-
vidual choice of any one of the rates
which has been made out at the head
Office. AT the grand lodge meeting,
which will be held during the month of
July at Indianapolis, Ind, this will be
the main topic for discussion and in
instructing members or delegates
either for or against the readjustment
plan social members have no vote. The
social members are entitled to vote in
the election of delegates Ito this con-
vention but not for instructing them
on the question of readjustment.
The local lodge of Modern Woodmen
in this city is composed of 800 mem
bers and the ma jority of them are in
favor of the increase in rates as at the
present time the costs are low, and if
the rate should be doubled it wou1d
still remain one of the cheapest in-
surance organizations operating ia
this country. AT the present time the
grand lodge is not financially embar-
raised, but they see that they will have
to in some way prepare for an emer-
gency as many of the members are
becoming aged and are dying off,
therefore the assessment increase.
In the United States there are 10000
members who comprise this order, and
it is the largest benevolent fraternal
organization of its kind in the country.
Some years ago the Royal Arcanum
saw that they were placed in the same
position as the Modern Woodmen are
at the present time, and an increase in
the rates was made.
1t was expected that the entire order
throughout the United States would
lose between twenty and thirty thou
sand members, but after the plan was
in operation only 1900 members
stepped out of the organization.

IF we are to go on building fighting
ships we must have trained men to
maM them. The bill drawn by the
Naval Committee of the House recon-
mends that three additional battleships
and one armored cruiser be built, and
that the number of cadets at Annapolis
be doubled. If one suggestion is ac-
Gepted the other ought to be, for if all
the vessels now in the navy were in
commission the service could not sup
ply the crews for them, and it is USE
less to provide the ships without the
men. With the marvellous adaptability
of the American volunteers it is posi-
bile to evolve fairly effective land
lighting force from the raw material in
"a short space of time, but it requires a
long course Of training and a great
deal of technical knowledge to fit men
for the naval service. Modern men of
war are the most complicated and ex-
pensive pieces of machinery in exist
ence and it would be worse than folly
to entrust untried men with their op-
Grafton.

Cured at seven O'Clock Sunday morn
ing at the fiat building of Walter M.
Cowell at 722 Park avenue. The
building was badly damaged and relics
of priceless value belonging to F. H.
Nichols, one of the tenants of the
building, we're completely destroyed.
The financial loss is entirely covered
by insurance.
The fire originated just before seven
O'Clock. Mr.. Nichols was walking
about the house starting the fires. He
had taken lamp with him and while
walking through the bedroom he
tripped his foot on rug and the lamp
fell from his hand and striking stove
it was broken. The flames started by
the broken lamp rapidly spread to the
furniture in the room and in a minute
the eutire room was in flames. An
alarm of FIRE brought the fire depart
ment to the scene and the flames were
extinguished by the chemical.
The furniture belonging to Mr..
Nichols is complete loss and the
damage to the building is estimated at
$500. Among the furniture in the
house were many relics and heirlooms
of the Nichols family and these were
completely destroyed.
The upper fiat of the.building is oc-
cupied by Emil Walthers, but he sus-
tanned no damage.

A Witty Reply.

Whenever the United States
supreme court, on hearing the
argument of counsel for plaintiff
in error, is entirely satisfied that
he has no 1se, the chief justice is
apt to say to counsel for defen-
dant in error that the court does
not care to hear further aryu-
ment. At one time Hon. Mat
thew Carpenter from Wisconsin
was counsel for plaintiff IN error
and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satis-
hed that there was nothing in 1t,
and SO when be had concluded and
counsel for defendant in error
arose Chief Justice Waite said,
"The court does not care to hear
any futher argument Counsel
was a little deaf and, although
noticing that the chief justice
spoke, did not hear what he had

who sat beside him, asked what
