NO TARIFF REVISION
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DEFINES
HIS POSITION.
He Cannot Perceive In Existing Con-
ditlons Anything That Calls for
Changes In Duty Schedule Prior to
Presidential Election of 1904.

All doubt as to the attitude of the
administration regarding the ques'
tion of tariff revision has been remov-
ed by the events of the past few days.
Before starting on his Western tour
President Roosevelt had decided to
make known in the most emphatic
and unmistakable manner his views
as to the advisability of any immedi-
ate alteration of the Dingley law
schedules. Predatory to the speech
of the President himself at Minneapo-
lis on the 4th of April, was the speech
of Secretary Shaw at Peoria, ILL.,,
March 81, and the speech of Secre-
tary Root before the Home Market
club in Boston, April 2. The two
cabinet officers served admirably in
preparing the way for the official
declaration of the President. At Peo-
ria Mr.. Shaw pronounced against
any and all interference with the
tariff now or in the near future. He
declared that in his judgment no con-
dition exists which would justify any
dlleulpL dJ ldl Ill SudHSCo, anu uC tOOh
pains to make it perfectly clear that
such thing as partial tariff revision
is impossible. Once the subject is
taken up the whole tariff must be re-
vised. Secretary Root held practi-
cally the same ground in his Boston
speech.
Last and most important of ALL
President Roosevelt at Minneapolis
defined his position and that of the
Republican party in vigorous opposi
tion to tariff revision, either as rem
edy for trusts or for any other rea-
son. He did not contend-nor does
any protectionist-tha the existing
tariff schedules are sacred and must
be forever left untouched. The law
as it stands contains many imperfec-

Toward Gov. Cummins.

That Is How the Free Traders Feel
Toward Gov Cummins.
Democratic and free trade editors
seem to be greatly gratified at the
pronounced tariff reform flavor of the
latest speech of Gov. Cummins. They
profess to see in 1t two things which
are most pleasing a marked
tendency toward lower duties and in
creased foreign competition, and Sec
ond, the well-defned prospect of
serious split in the Republican party
on the question of tariff protection.
The New York Evening Post says:
Gov. Cummins of Iowa stands by
his tariff guns. Fresh from commun-
ings at the White House, he tells the
Republicans of his state that he is
more determined than ever to work
for the Iowa idea of cutting down
tariff duties, and of abolishing alto
gether those that are taken advantage
of for the awful object of enhancing
domestic prices unduly. especially by
means of combinations aiming at mon
opoly. There is an irrepressible conflict
forced upon the Republican party,
Gov. Cummins believes, and he favors
making the fight with bold initiative
instead Of being put feebly on the de-
fensive. Therefore, he proposes to
retain the tariff reduction plank in

less waste for the cause though a

Very Little Difference.

We would like to have some good

same time by Edward Shepard, the

tariff is concerned.-Cedar Rapids

demand its insertion in the national
platform of 1904. We wish him good
luck; but both he and President
Roosevelt have yet much to learn
about the protectionist old man Of the

party's shoulders and clutching it's
throat"

knife is out for tariff ripping is sure
to secure blessing and a benediction

Too STRINGENT Blue Laws.

Philadelphia's agitation in regard to
its obsolete Sunday laws recalls that
in 1890 Queen Mary, in the absence of
King William, forbade all hackney
carriages and horses to work on Sun
days, and had constables stationed at
the corners of the streets to capture
all puddings on their way to bakers
ovens on Sunday" But this was 60

Death of Mrs. Sellers.

The wife of Councilman William
Sellers died Saturday night at her
home Oh South avenue. Mrs. Sellers
death was caused by hasty consump-
tion, and since she became afflicted
her decline has been rapid. Her hus-
band and two children survive her.
Very many are the warm personal
friends of Councilman Sellers who
extend to him in his hour of deepest
aff1iction, sincere and earnest SYM
pathy. Those who knew the home
life realized it was beautiful one,
Mr.. Sellers being devoted to his wife,
and they together centred their affec-
tion upon the bright children. The
messenger of death has come into the
home when it seemed as if the family
would know no care and were con-
templating years of future happiness
and prosperity. All the future is now
covered with the dark clouds and
husband and motherless children are
bowed down beneath the weight of
greatest aff1iction.

JERSEY AFTER
SEED OYSTERS.
Complaints of Poaching in Beds
of Lower Potomac are Made,

of Lower Potomac are Made,
Washington, March 17.-It is said in
Washington to-day that New Jersey is
making herself disagreeably felt in
the oyster beds of the lower Potomac.
Reports have it that large numbers of
seed oysters are being taken from the
beds by the dredgers, who sell them
to the masters of Jersey vessels, by
whom they are taken to points on the
New Jersey coast and planted.
A few days ago five large two
masted schooners laden with seed
oysters left the Potomac for New Jer-
sey. This represents only small
portion of the total number of seed
oysters that have been taken away by
Jerseymen this season, so it is al
legged.
The catching of seed oysters is con.
trary to the laws of both Maryland
and Virginia and is punishable by
both fine and Imprisonment. The
violations of the law have now been
brought to the attention of Com
mander Howard, chief of the Mary.
land Oyster Police, and he has in
structed the officers under his COM
mand to exercise the greatest diligence
in order to put stop to the viola
tions of the law.
Commander Howard has requested
those who are interested in the preser-
vation of the oysters to notify the
oyster police when the New Jersey
oyster boats make their appearance.
He says he will do the rest

PRIZE OFFERED FOR
ATHLETIC SPORTS

Everyone interested in athletics
will be glad to know that Henry 7.
Bell, of Elmer, will present to the
Brldgeton Athletic Association a pair
OF valuable dumb bells and for which
the various athletic associations of
South Jersey will compete in the
different kinds of sports. The dumb
bells are valued at $40 and were made
by Charles S. Ambruster, an ingeni-
GUS mechanic of Elmer. The maker
presented them to Mr.. Bell and Mr..
Bell with Mr.. Ambruster's consent
decided to give them to this city in
order to encourage all branches of
sport.
The scheme is that the bells be given
to the b. A. A. and at the next
athletic meet the association give
them to the school or regular organ
ized club who shall win the most
points. That the winners shall take
them and have them in their possess
sion until the meet following and
then repetition follow, the winning
club or school again to take them.
In order for one association to keep
the bells permanently that body of
athletes must win the highest number
of points for three consecutive years.
Mr.. Bell says he will present the ar
ticles with this request.
The dumb bells have been made en-
tirely by hand and required three
weeks to complete the work There
are over 500 separate pieces of wood
holly and black walnut, and shows an
excellent piece of work.
Mr.. Bel is barber and we'll known
in this city, having moved to Bridge
ton from Viringia in 1885. He later
moved to Elmer and although not an
athlete has always taken great in
terest in the sport. Mr.. Ambruster,
the mechanic. is pattern maker by
trade and also a we'll known man here
and at Elmer The gift will doubtless
be accepted by the association here
and there will be great interest taken
at the next meet to win the handsome
dumb bells.
