DISPUTE OVER OLD PORTRAIT.

The authenticity of the socalled

Franklin, which is now In the library

by the class of 1852 with elaborate
ceremonies on February 20, is vigor-
ously attacked by Charles Henry
Hart, an ale critic of Philadelphia,
and an acknowledged authority on
colonial portraits. Mr.. Hart claims
there never was a Gainsborough or
Franklin; that the real Gainsborough
once believed to be portrait of
Franklin is now in the gallery of
Lord Lansdowne; that Lord Lans-
downe's Gainsborough is really q
picture of Surgeon General Middle

Weal AFFORD to Do Something
Cor the People.

The Standard Oil company notified
its customers, December 10, that it
had advanced the price of oil another
cent per gallon. This is an increase
of Az cents since the beginning OF
the coal strike.
On December IL, Commander Booth
Tucker, of the Salvation Army. got
promise, by telephone, from j. Pier
pont Morgan that he would do all in
his power to aid the Salvation Army
to supply the poor with coal. The
army is holding meetings on the cor
ness in the tenement section of New
York, for the purpose of giving in
structions as to how to use porous
bricks, which may be saturated with
kerosene or petroleum and used for
heating purposes instead of coal.
Morgan controls the coal and Rock
efeller the oil trust. Each profits by
the others monopoly of high prices.
The prices of both coal and oil will
average 40 to 60 per cent. higher this
than last year. There is almost no
limit to the price which these coal
and oil barons could obtain in win
ter for these earth commodities.
Their monopoly is now complete
enough, but they fear the wrath 81

The Poor Filipinos to Be Fitted.

President Schurman, of Cornell uni
versity, in speech delivered before
the Nineteenth Century club in New
York, on December II, gave pititul
picture of conditions in the Philip
pines which is much ut variance with
the optimistic picture drawn by Pres
ident Roosevelt in his message to
congress. Prof. Schurman said:
"The Filipinos are victims of fam
inc, pestilence. wholesale loss of farm
animals by disease, depression of ag-
riculture, decline of trade and dis
astrous arrangement of the currency.
The insular government is purchas-
ing rice on the Asiatic continent to
furnish the Filipinos with the means
of subsistence" The great prosper
ity which republican organs and
spell FLINDERS assure us exist there,
would thus appear to be myth, in
vented for political purposes, and
their tale of peace and plenty is made
out of whole cloth.

Tariff and Panics,

'.Our past experience shows that great
prosperity in this country has always come
under protective tariff "-President's
Message
Our experience also shows that great
panics and long periods of commercial
and Industrial depression have also
come under a protective tar'1, for we
have always had protective tariff.
The panics of 1879 and 1927 were
coincident with the highest of high
protective tariffs, and both of them
were more protracted than that Of
1867, which came under what was the
nearest approach that we ever made
to tariff for revenue only.-Chicago
Chronicle,
