the choice carried little advantage un

They Have Been Flooding New YORK
With Spurious Dimes.

New York, April Twenty min
utes after the arrest in Jersey City
of two men on the charge of having
spurious money in their possession, a
squad of secret service men descend
ed upon No. 80 Allen street, New
York, and confiscated one of the most
complete plants for the coinage of
bogus money that the federal officers
have yet unearthed.
On the top floor of the building a
fine outfit for the coming of dimes
was seized, Dies were found which
Chief Flynn says were almost as good
as the official ones.
According to the secret service
men, the two men under arrest have
circulated nearly 10000 spurious
dimes since January. They Showed
the queer by buying a lead pencil
or a box of matches, receiving nine
cents in change. Hundreds of pencils
and boxes of matches were found ir
the rooms.

SECRETARY ROOT WILL INDi-
CATE WHAT THEY ARE.
OPPOSED TO ANY REVISION
Tho Idea Is to Let the Tariff Alone
Until the Long Session Be-
ginning Dec, 1905.

Washington, April 1.-The presi-
dents intention to deliver a tariff ad-
dress in Minneapolis next Saturday
night makes interesting the announce
ment that Secretary Root, rejecting
the administrations views, will make
an address on a similar topic before
the Home Market Club of Boston this
week Thursday night. The Root ad-
dress has been carefully prepared and
President Roosevelt has placed his
20. K" upon it.
According to the program which
Mr.. Root is expected to outline to
the Home Market club, the admins
tration intends to lend every assist
ance to the republican majority in the
fifty-eighth congress in the policy of
standing pat" on the present tariff
laW.despite democratic opposition.
EvAArthe remotest attempt to tinker
with@the schedule is to be resisted
throughout the long session Of the
coming congress. The remarkable
prosperity now enjoyed is to be pre-
served and protected from democratic
attack. There will be nc concession
in any direction. The proposition
which Secretary Root will submit to
the club will emphasize the advisable
ity of a wholesome revision two years
hence.
According to program, when the
f~fty-ninth congress assemblies for the
long session beginning December,
1905, the tariff schedule will have been
submitted to the most careful and
painstaking examination and such
changes as are deemed consistent
with the continued prosperity Of the
nation and with the growth of Amer.
lean industries will be made by the
only men capable of r~eadjusting the
tariff law, the men who for more
than a quarter Of century have con
trfbuted their share to the protective
legislation which has built up the
manufacturing industries of the Unit
ed States to the point where they ex
coed those of any other nation on the
face of the earth.
It is expected that Secretary Roots
u%tterances will indicate the attitude
to be assumed by the administration
and will take the wind out of the Ions
and carefully prepared campaign
speeches of the democrats who in
tend to advocate what they tern
moderate tariff reductions" It is be
lieved the presidents Minneapolis ad
dress will follow the lines to be lait
down by Secretary Root.

Railroads Figuring on This Seasons
Western Wool Clip.

western WOOL NISps
Traffic men of the railroads. es-
pecially the representatives Of the
fast freight lines to the east, are be-
ginning to concern themselves over
this years wool output in the west.
says the Chicago Drovers' Journal.
Shearing in Colorado begins in April,
gradually working northward until 1t
finishes in Montana in May.
The wool output of the western
states is something worth contemplate
ing, for out of a total wool crop Of
275, OOO, 900 pounds in the United
States annually the western states
produce about 100, OOO, 900 pounds of it.
Just how the clip will be this year
on the range is uncertain, for the re-
ports Of losses from bad weather vary
SO much from different and equally re-
liable sources that the railroad men
find themselves unable to reconcile
the figures or arrive at even a fair
estimate for a few days yet.
Outlook Is Good.
But the outlook for selling is good,
and there is a chance that the range
wool may go up to 16 cents a pound,
which would be like coming money
for the w~oolgrowers. Last year it
ranged from II to IL cents for the
average grades.
In this connection word come from
Chicago that woolgrowers al we'll as
representatives of the western rail
roads are protesting at the action OF
eastern lines in raising the rates on
wool Is per cent from Chicago to the
seaboard.
The western lines object because
they have to further raise their por-
ton of the rate to absorb the differ
M Eastern lines insist that wool
bore an unremunerative rate and that
the proportion given them from st.
Louis and Chicago a too small.

TURKISH ATROCITIES.

A special correspondent Of the Lon

Dubuitza In Bulgaria, for the purpose
Of investigating the situation IN Mace
donla. Rumors have been coming from
that quarter FOR long while Of atrocl-
Tics committed, and through the cor
respondent OF the London paper the ru'
mors have been more than confirmed.
He found about 5000 refugees in that
city. They had fed from Macedonia
md were now supported Dy the charity
Of friends and kindred. They told
stories Of massacre, torture mutlation
and outrages upon women Such Facts
speak eloquenty Of the condition that
cries out 10 high heaven for justice. 1t
is Impossible that the cries should not
be Needed Retributlon may not come

preserve peace while thousands are
being ground 70 death under the most
ptess government In civilization,
There Is no solution Of that question ex-
cept the restoration Of Turkish Europe
to the people to whom It belongs by
right and the confinement Of the
Turks TO the region whence they came.
II this can be done gradually, It Is
well. The dlsintegratIon Of Turkey 70
far has been a gradual process. But
Turkey today Is not the sick man Of
twenty-five or fifty years ago. Hence
the danger OF collision.

1.-THE sMoor PUZZLE"


The Chicago Reoord.Herald Of Feb. Il
finds that the election Of senator In
Utah Is puzzle" The paper says.
IL Is said that the Mormons are cal
ouiatlng upon Democratic support for
Reed Smoot in the senate, and that they
assert That neither party can AFFORD 10
ignore the strength Of the Mormon vote
IN the west
they have. however, much greater
reason for confidence In the inherent
diihculties OF Shoots case for Shoots
opponents. The Democrats are a small
minority OF the senate. who DO not
count except Ia combination. The Nor
mon vote ia a very small factor In the
vote Of the country. But the religious
distinction is certainly a poser.
'Smoot. Il should be understood, does
not practice or publicly advocate polyg-
amy In observing his religion he does
not break any OF the laws OF the coun-
try. The general charge that he Is a
Mormon Is all that Is urged against
him and when the Implication OF polyR-
amy Is removed from this charge Il is
met BY the constitutional guarantees OF
religious freedom, by the fact that the
nation has set itself In word and act
against religious Determinations.
When We arrive at this point refer
ences to the Roberts case are OF no
avail because although Roberts may
have suffered from the general unpopu-
larity Of Momonism he had 10 answer
for his individual conduct The senate
can receive ne help from the decision

GEORGE WASHINGTON,

father Of his country is celebrated
today. He was born Feb 81, 1872, but
the END Of February coming this year

served today. There Is no need for us
TO eulogize the great character whose
very maine signifies to Americans, and
indeed 10 the whole civilized world, the
virtues that make their representatives
pre-eminent. His yalor, his devotion to
country, his calm but steadfast reliance
on the Almighty, his generalshlp his
endurance, his wise management OF
public affairs, are all universally adj
mIred' but the distinctive feature
among his many grand traits is that
love Of truth with which his name Is
chiefly associated
The people OF Utah hold Washington
In as high estimation as do any Of their
fellow-countrymen. They also recog-
nlze In his life and works dyinely
selected spirit. destined TO a glorious
career for the benefit Of humanity, He
was called of God to the station he occu-
pied, and 50 were the valiant cham
pions of freedom who laid the founda-
lions Of this government, enuncated
the principles that enter into the Dec

many virtues, and he lives in the hearts
of free people as one OF the grandest
heroes of history. 1t is right to cele-
brate his birthday, and the custom
should and doubtless win prevail in the
land he loved and served, down to the

That the cultivated class of Amen-

a rather novel light In effect, the eu-

married It's graduates, have left as
pledges to posterity group Of children

ment Is a good one. as far as II goes,
although the American professional
