TARIFF REVISION IN 1906

~ HAT there will be no revision Of
the tariff until early in 1906,
and that then the revision will
be far from revolutionary. was the an
nouncement made on Tuesday by
Treasury official, who is an expert on
tariff matters and is in close touch with
the legislative leaders in both the Senat,

quently been consulted by the trainers
of past tariff laws and also is in a pecu
Harry advantageous position to feel the
pulse of the business world.
'There will be no extra session to re.
wise the tariff this spring" he said. 1.-The
president has been definitely persuaded
10 abandon that idea, and it is extreme
ly improbable that there will be one
next fall. From the information which
comes to me from the most authoritative
sources, I do not believe any tariff bill
will be presented before the session of
and it will probably he passed early in
1906.
"Thc plan now is for the appointment
of a committee to frame a bill quietly.
1t may he an official committee Of Con-
greSs, but that is unlikely. The proba-
bilty is that it will be an unofficial COM
one or more tariff experts, who will eX-
anime the present law thoroughly to find
where it needs change or amendment
SIN my opinion there are three rules
which will he observed in revising the
tariff; first. to Interfere as little as pos
Sible with American industries and with
this end in view the reductions will bc
mace chiefly on imported goods. which
do not enter into competition with goods
produccd here; second, to correct the in
acculaci,S and Inconsistencies of the
pre- sent law arising from changed trade
conditions. and, third. To provide for the
revenue by imposing additional duties,
whcuevrr that is possible without hard
Shi. to the consumer.
AN these changes must he worked out
by experts, and in order to allow them
an Entwnmucd hand, the present plan
is t" have no public hearings. If hIar-

opinion. Il hill will be quietly prepared

Among these said to he favorable to
this plan are Senators platt. of C~nnec.

A New Political oraanlzatlon.

The American Federation of Labor,
which has an organization in every
city and many villages, does not per-
nit political action, but is non.parti-
san. The leaders have found, how
ever, that Congress will not heed
their request for legislation unless
the individual member of Congress is
brought to fear defeat If he does not
vote for such laws as labor demands.
The labor leaders at Washington,
after two months of executive meet.
ings and consultations, have organ
lied the Labor Lyceum and Bureau
of Information" whose objects are
set forth to be: The discussion of
economic questions as they relate to
the educational, social and industrial
conditions of the wage-workers of the
United States; to collect and dlssem.
mate legislative data relative to labor
measures submitted to the Congress
OF the United States; to ascertain, as
far as possible, the attitude of sen
ators and representatives toward such
measures, and forward such informa.
ton to their respective constituencies
and to advise the use of the initiative
and referendum in tho election of
federal and state legislators.
One clause OF the constitution pro-
vides that anyone who is a member
OF a trades union in the United States
may become a member Of the Labor
Lyceum. The work of the Lyceum
deVelopes largely upon the executive
committee OF which the president iS

and statements calling for action are
referred 10 this committee, which is
charged with the duty of investiga-
ton. Before any action is taken the
lyceum must vote on the report OF
the committee.

One OF the most remarkable cures,
ever recorded in Louisa County is,
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart Of this place,
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months,
and when she was able to sit up she
was all drawn up ON one side and
could not walk across the ROOM
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing Of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and know the cure was complete
for that was three years age and !
have not been down since. In four
weeks from the time l started taking
them was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful am
to be cured or how much feel | owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths OF
the suffering the human family is heir
to, will disappear.

SAFETY RAILWAY GATES
ARE DISCUSSED
Railroad Officials Urge That Watch
men Be Placed at Points Where
Traffic Is Not Heavy.

st. Louis: Representatives from ev.
cry railroad which has grade crossings
in the city met with the Board Of Pub
lie improvements Wednesday morning
to confer upon the question Of erecting
safety gates at the different crossings.
According to- the statements Of the rail
road representatives, the companies are
installing gates as rapidly as they can
be obtained from the manufacturers.
The railroad officials called the at
tention of the board to the conditions in
the northern and southern sections of
the city, where there are a large num-
Der of crossings, but very little traffic.
They said they did not think they
should be compelled to erect gates
where they would be of little use, and
stated that watcnmon would be Of more
value at those points than the gates
and less expensive.
The members of the board, however,
insisted that the law should be com
piled with and the gates erected, but
they informed the railroad officials
that an ordinance amending the pres
ent one, which requires gates at every
crossing, could probably be drafted al
lowing the use Of watchmen at those
gates where traffic is light.
A definite statement Of the conditions
at the various crossings will be pre-
sented to the board at its next meeting
by the railroad men, and it is thought
that some agreement relative to gates
and watchmen will be reached that will
be satisfactory to both the city and
the railroad companies.

GRAND SECRETARY
OF MASoNS DEAD
WSll.known Methodist Minister and
Leader in Philanthropie Work.

ST. Louis: Rev. Dr. John Davis Vim
ell, grand secretary of the grand lodge
Of Missouri Masons, died Wednesday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at his resi-.
dence, aften an illness extending over
1 period of three weeks. His wife and
six children were with him when the
end came.
About a year ago DR.. Vincll was coh-
siderably weakened by an affection of
the heart. He was often i'll, but each
time he rallied. About a month ago
in his weakened condition he went to
his office in the Roe building to at.
tend TO his duties as grand secretary.
While engaged at his desk he was taken
with a congestive chill, which rendered
him unable to perform his duties at
the recent meeting of the grand lodge.
Or. Vincil was the president of the
board of curators of the university of
Missouri. the president OF the Metho-
dist orphans home and was connected
in various ways with many other char
liable and benevolent institutions,
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. EN-.
ma Norwood Vincil, and the following
six children: John ID. Vincil, Jr., of
Philadelphia, Pa; James Vincil, secre-
tary OF the Kansas City police COM
mission; DIR. Frank Vincil of st, Louis,
Mrs II. l.. Sterrett of New York city,
Mrs. George p Gross of Kansas City
and Mrs. w. d. Stark Of Kansas City.
Messages were sent Wednesday af-
ternoon to Gov. Dockery and the 9th
er grand lodge officials notifying them
of Or. Vincil's death, and kilograms of
coincidence poured into the late secre-
tary's office.
John Davis Vincil was born in Taze-
well county, Va, August "a, 1880. He
served seven years in a cabinet shop,
and when he was IA years of age united
with the Methodist Episcopal church
South. In 1854 he moved to Missouri
and located in Albany, Gentry county
where he taught school, served as dep.
uty circuit clerk and for one term was
a magistrate In 1857 he entered the
ministry of the Methodist church and
followed that calling until 1877. Dur
ing practically his entire connection
with the Missouri conference DR.. Vim.
ell served as it's secretary. Even after
moving to st. Louis, on his election as
grand secretary of the Masonic lodge
in 1877. he retained his connection with
the conference, and each year attended
its session and served as secretary
He received the degree of doctor of
divinity from the university of Mis-
| souri, in 1873.
DR.. Vincil became a Mason August
| IL, 1854; was the district deputy grand
master two years, until 1877. Three
weeks ago he was reelected for the
twenty.seventh time the grand secreta-
ry of Missouri by reclamation, this be.
ing the first time, it is said, any man
| has been accorded that honor.
In August, 1904, he celebrated his
| golden jubilee as a Mason.
The body was taken to Columbia on
a special train under escort of Knights
Templar. A memorial service was held
at Columbia and the body Inferred in
DR. Vincil's private lot IN Columbia

Country as Chief Magistrate.
The estimate Of Judge Parker's
character and abilities in both Demo.
cratic and Republican journals and
IN political and business circles can
be summed up by the general state
ment that He is a strong. safe and
conservative candidate" Nothing but
words of commentator are heard Of
the Democratic nominee, even from his
political opponents.
Newspaper correspondents are ex.
cellent judges Of the real character
of public men. This summer there
has been group OF newspaper men,
representing journals Of both politi-
cal parties. on duty at Esopus. They
have investigated Judge Parker's
past life, occupations and present
mode Of living. They have witnessed
his methods Of handling visitors, heard
what he said on current political prob.
lens, and no matter what paper they
represented they all agree. as one OF
them expresses it, that he is not a
tricky politician, but a man of high
ideals, almost Quixotic in some re.
spects, and Of the most sensitive hon.
or even in little details"
The simple truth is, Judge Parker
is not tricky politician, is free from
vanity, is a man Of few words, has
exceptional mental vigor and capac.
ity for hard work. does not deal in
heroics or Mysteries, does not do
startling things to attract public at.
tention, is tactful and courteous,
makes and holds friends. has a pune.
tilious sense of honor, has succeeded
in life through hard work, has legal
training which finds expression in a
profound respect for the constitution,
is the friend OF all honestly conducted
industrial enterprises, as he is OF all
lawful combinations of labor; in q
word, respects the respective rights
Of capital and labor, and If elected
will be controlled by no clique of poll
ticians, nor yet by his own vanity
but do his whole duty as he under
stands it, and will retire from the
presidential chair at the end of fouI
years.
The country needs Judge Parker
for Chief Magistrate.
