SOME TARIFF TALK
AMONG POLITICIANS
Republican Majority Likely to Adopt
Some Policy of Revision Before
End Of Session.

II is likely that more attention will be
paid 20 future policies and plans by the
Republicans at this session of Congress
than 10 matters of actual legislation.
In fact, it Is not anticipated that there
VIII be much important general legisla-
uon, except the passage Of the regular
appropriation bills. Indeed, there are
grave doubts about the passage OF the
rivers and harbors bill. although there
mas not been such a measure since 1902.
The Republican leaders are now talk
ING tarln more than anything else, and
they hope 10 get together on some policy
before this session ends. Expressions
Tor and against tariff revision are heard
daily from politicians who visit me
White House. The consensus Of opinion
seems 10 be that there should be some
notifications In the present schedules.
but that there is no haste for revision.
Want No Extra Session.
Sentiment seems TO be against an ex-

revision.
Before any definite policy is determined
upon there Will have 10 be repeated con-
LeIehces and exchanges of views both

The juvenile organizations have

AT present there is very little talk
about the members of the Athletic
Association organizing team for the

falling in line and when other towns
warm up to the subject, Smyrna will
in all probability have some kind of a
team in the field. One plan discussed
by some of the fans" was to get out
subscription to rent field and put it
in good playing shape during the
spring for the use of local players and
by this means help to develop some
local talent. Smyrna has quite num-
