THE PRESIDENTS TARIFF SPEECH
CRITICISED.

| In commenting upon the Presidents
| tariff speech delivered at Minneapolis
the New York Press. one of the
strongest advocates of the protective
principle in the tariff, says: For the
campaign of 1904 President Roosevelt
at Minneapolis climbed up on the plat
form on which every Republican can
didate for President has planted his
feet IN forty years"
Here is an admission that the Pres
ident hasn't been on that platform
ever since he has been in the White
House As a matter of fact it has
been only about year since in
speeches I'm New England he advo-
Gated a commission to assist Congress
to make a revision in the tariff. lie
saw at that time that tariff changes
ought to be made, and he pointed out
way to make them which he thought
would be satisfactory.
Why has he changed his position in
this important matter? Is not the
reason stated in the foregoing extract
from the New York Press? 1t looks
so. That paper says for the cam
paign of 1904 the President has climb
ed up on the platform" etc, and pro-
ceeds 10 compliment him for doing so,
and to announce practically that ne
is certain to receive the presiden-
tial nomination of his party.
But this Inconsistency on the part
OF the President, however well it may
Of rtv nd
those trusts which are sheltered by
the tariff, is almost certain to cost
him votes in the West, where there is
a strong and growing sentiment among
the Republicans in favor of tariff re-
auctions, especially reduction of the
tariff on trust-made articles.
There is no doubt that the President
was forced to take the position on the
tariff that he did at Minneapolis by
pressure from the leaders of his par
ty. They do not intend there shall be
any changes in the tariff pending the
presidential election, and no changes
at any time unless made by protec-
ticnists The suggestion made last
year of a tariff commission alarmed
the trust magnates-the men who fur
nish the campaign funds-and they
began to cast about for another can
didate. 1t is by no means certain that
they have made up their minds to ac-
cept Mr.. Roosevelt, Notwithstanding
the fact that he has climbed up on"
the Dingley tariff platform. They are
afraid of him. They cannot tell what
he is going to do in regard to any
matter. They would rather have a
man like Senator Hanna, whose in
terests are in the same direction as
their own. 1t would not be supris-
ing ii Mr.. Hanna should be a candi-
date for the nomination. though he
has been quoted as saying that he
would not be. Still, if there should
develop a strong sentiment in his IA
vor it would be hard for him to re-
sis, it, Perhaps he wouldn't try to
list it. A chance to be President
! comes to but few men and is not like
ly to be hastily rejected.

An artist who painted the portrait of
a rich New Yorker averse to publicity
was so much pleased with the portrait
as a work of art that he asked per-
mission to hang it at once of the eX-
hibitions of paintings, says the Mail
and Express. II was accepted by the
committee, but permission to display
it did not include the right to label it
with the name of the sitter.
But" expostulated the painter, Il

Among Andrew Carnegie's collection
of anecdotes illustrative of traits of
Scottish character, says the Philadel
phia Ledger, one of the Oldest is as fol-
lows:
Sir John Cave was in Glasgow in
1907, at a time when the pOpulace had
it in mind to honor Nelson with
monument. Sir John attended a public
dinner one evening whereat the mon
ument came in for a good deal of dis
cussiOn, and many opinions were adj
vanced as to the style of the inscrip-
ton that should grace the stone. Fin
ally the visitor was asked to favor
the company with his views on this
matter.
Il think" said Sir John, that the
style of the inscription should be emf
nently simple and plain. What l should
put on the monument would be just the
words Glasgow to Nelson
Il agree with the gentleman" said
an aged Scot, arising, but 1 would
make an addition. We all know that
from the town of Glasgow to that of
Nelson is six miles, and therefore
would affix to the monument, after the
words Glasgow to Nelson the adden-
dunn, six miles,, and then our monu-
ment would serve two purposes"

Three or four years ago Prof. Oscar
L. Trlggs made a flying leap to fame
by asserting in one OF his lectures at
the University of Chicago that John
d. Rockefeller was a greater intellec-
tual genius than Shakespeare. Now,
however. it appears to be up to"
Prof Triggs to reverse himself and
give the palm to Shakespeare again,
since it is reported he has received a
big offer to become advance agent of
ar all-star production of Romeo and
Juliet" The idea seems to be to have
Prof. Triggs visit towns in which the
show will be given and deliver free
lectures on the play, and otherwise
boom it along. The honorarium to he
professor, so the press agent claims,
is to be 500 per week.

During the past few days there has
been a general wedding out and de-
moralization of the police force of
Pittsburg, Pa. On Sunday. it is said,
there were only twenty-five policemen
in the whole city, all of the others
having been discharged, because
they had not voted for Recorder
Hayes and his ticket" according TO
an explanation given in a dispatch to
the Philadelphia Record. As a conse-
quence of the lack of police protec-
ton, robbery, thieving and pocket
picking are holding sway and will
probably continue to do so for some
time" All of this being true, it goes

Northern and Western papers are
commenting upon the frequency with
which Richard Olney of Massachusetts
has been visiting New York during the
past few weeks. 1t is asserted that
Mr.. O1ney goes to New York now three
times where he used to go once. and
there are many guesses as to what it
all means. In many quarters there is
believed to be political significance in
the circumstance.

It occurs to us that Miss Alice Roose-

against the Herald and the World.
Those papers the other day printed
pictures of her, riding on a fiat car
in Porto Rico with Gov. Hunt and
party. To judge from the picture
Miss Alice had borrowed and was
wearing a pair of Gov. Hunts largest
and heaviest high-topped rubber
boots, which we are quite sure was
not true.

In Vermont jury has rendered a
verdict against a labor union for 81. 500
in favor of a manufacturing company
that claimed damages for the alleged
intimidation of non-union men and pre-
vented them from filing the places
of strikers. An attempt will be made
to attach the funds in the union treas
ury as well as to enforce payment of
the judgment by processes against the
property of individual members of the
union. 1t is likely that the matter will
go to the court of last resort. Should
the verdict of the trial jury be sus-
tanned it would establish an import
ant precedent.

The doctors have found a human
marvel at 'Radnor, Ind, in the person
of Clyde Harner, who has lived twen-
ty-five years but is no more developed
than a child of four or five years. While
the development has been extraordi-
narily slow, it has been regular. The
passage of time, according to the doc
tors, has merely one-siXth the effect
on Harner that it has on other people.
His day is twenty-four hours long, in
stead of twelve. He eats three meals
a week, plays like a child for twenty
four hours and then sleeps twenty-four
hours. He is thirty-six inches tail and
weighs thirty-five pounds. He is just
learning the alphabet. In every way
his development is just about one
sixth the usual rate. Should this CON
tinue, the doctors say that he will live
to be at least 200 years old. and will
be just entering upon young manhood
at 100 years The parents, it may be
surmised, will not live to raise the
child.

The coming of Baron Won Sternberg
as minister of Germany to the United
States has been followed by tempest
in the embassy teapot in Washington.
1t seems that the promotion of Won
Sternberg to the important post in
this country, over the heads of certain
other officials of the German diplo-
matte service, was resented by at
taches Of the embassy and they deter
mined to make it unpleasant for the
new minister. This they undertook to
do in social way but apparently the
minister is getting the better of the
controversy, since several of the
trouhlo-makers have been relieved of
their positions and ordered to other
uosls.
The New Orleans newspapers con
tinue hopeful with respect to the flood
situation. Compared with the total
length Of the levee system, about 1880
miles, only a few breaks have occurred,
aggregating hardly more than two
miles. These breaks, it is pointed out,
have flooded not more than 3 to 4 per
cent. Of the cultivated lands lying
along the river. The flood this year
is an exceptionally heavy one and has
put the levees to a severe test. Before
the next freshet season, it is believed
the levees will be made strong enough
to meet any demand that will be made
upon them.

MILLS COMING TO GEORGIA.

The trouble with labor in Lowell
Mass, an account of which appeared
in our dispatches last week, has turn
ed attention of mill men in that city
to Georgia as a state in which they
can lind sites for their mills. 1t seems
they want to get away from Lowell,
believing that labor conditions there
will in future be more embarrassing
to them than they are now. An agent
of some of the Lowell mills arrived in
Atlanta a day or so ago and went to
Lindale, where, he was informed, he
could find sites that would in all
probability. answer his purpose. He
had with him an expert in matters
pertaining to cotton mills. If several
of the Lowell mills should move to
this state it would give an impetus to
cotton manufacturing here that would
put Georgia in the lead in that indus
try in the South.
The factories themselves would be
helpful to the state, and they would
bring other Industries. 1t is probable
that the number of operatives that
would come with the mills would be
small Georgia and other Southern
states would be depended upon for la
Dor A few skilled operatives would
be all that would be necessary to set
the machinery in motion.
The growth of cotton manufacturing
in the South has been so great within
the last few years that there seems
to be reason for saying that within a
comparatively few years the consump-
ton of cotton by Southern mills will
be much greater than that by the
Northern mills. This step that has
been taken by Lowell mills will at
tract general attention, and if mills
from that city should be established
in Georgia it is more than probable
mills in other cities would soon follow

There are now 81 ,59S divorced peo-
pie in the United States, of whom 49,
POS are women and 1884 men. The
reason for such an excess of women is
explained on the theory that divorced
men are more apt to remaTry than di-
Vorced women. There are very few
cities in which the number of divorced
men is greater or even equal to the
number of women. Omaha is the
most conspicuous, for among it's in
habitants are 249 men and 236 women
who have been separated from their
conjugal mates by the courts. Chi
