WASHINGTON, d. c. Feb. 81
Senator Dubois introduced today
joint resolution providing for a consti-
tutienal amendment prohibiting polyg-
amy and polygamous cohabitation. 1t
reads:
THAT the committee on judiciary be
and il is hereby authorized and in
structed to prepare and report to the
senate within thirty days after the be-
ginning of the next session of con-
gress a joint resolution proposing to
the several states amendments to the
constitution of the United States which
shall provide for the prohibition and
punishment of polygamous marriages
and plural cohabitation contracted or
practiced within the United States
and in every place subject TO the juris-
diction of the United States, and
which shall also require all persons
taking office under the constitution or
laws of the United States, or of any
state, to take and subscribe to an oath
that he or she is not and will not be a
member or adherent of any organiZa-
ton whatever. the laws, rules or ma
ture of which organization require him
or her to disregard his or her duty to
support and maintain the constitution
and laws of the United States and OF

THE CODE, REVISED

Those of us to whom it has been
given to watch the progress of the
hard working members of the legisla-
ture who have been engaged in trying
to amend the revised code so as to
bring it within the range of possibility
for enactment are not sanguine of the
outcome of the attempt to give the
state anything like satisfactory re-
vision of the laws. The hopelessness
of the work of the legislative commit
tees is at once demonstrated by the
statement that approximately fifteen
hundred amendments have been sub
mitted to the work of the codification
commission.
Every special interest affected by the
law of the state-and that includes
every interest-has been provoked to
activity in the amendment of the code

MAKE TWO REPORTS ON
PHILIPPINE TARIFF
Minority Says Islands Should Be Who'll
ly American or Wholly Foreiqn

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 81
Chairman Payne, of the house ways
and means committee, today filed the
report favoring the passage of the Cur
tiS bill providing for the free entry of
products from the Philippines, except
sugar and tobacco, on which 25 per cent
of the Dingley tariff is to be collected.
The report declares that the only log
ical result of our possession of the is
lands is free trade. 1t is definitely set
tied, 1t says, that we retain the islands
until their population is fit for self
government Until the treaty stipula-
ton between the United States and
Spain shall expire in 1909 all tariff ad-
vantages given by the islands to us
must be given to Spain, and for this
reason reciprocal free trade is not
feasible. The report says the bill goes
as far as practical, and it is believed
no American industry will suffer by its
enactment.
Representative Williams, the house
minority leader, offered minority re-
port signed by himself and Represent
atives Swanson (Va.), Cooper (Tex0,
Clark (Mo.) and Cochran IN. W, ia
voring the Williams bill providing free
entry of Philippines goods wholly the
growth or product of those islands. The
report says that the anomalous and
preposterous status of the Philippine
Islands by which they are treated as
American territory for certain purposes
and foreign or semi-foreign territory
for certain other purposes cannot be
long maintained and should be ter
minated. 1t says:
"At present, according to the whim of
congress or the executive. they are con-
sidered as American or foreign, or as
both American and foreign. or as neith-
er American nor foreign. In justice to
both the Philippines ard ourselves.
they should be considered as altogether
American or altogether foreign. So
long as We retain then We favor the
establishment and me intenance of free
trade betwixt them and the United
States

as submitted. There were so many err
rors in additions to and subtractions
from the law as it stands that the code
as submitted has been merely made the
basis of further codification. AS yet
we know little of the character of the
amendments, but it is certain that
many of them will provoke discussion,
;-Id the legislature will-if it gives the
close attention that the Importance
of the measure demands to the work
of passing the code in the form of a
bill-have very large order to COM
plete within the limit of the session.
The mere physical work of handling
the work of the commission with this
monstrous mass of amendments will
compel the legislative bodies to long
sessions, for it may be expected that
even the lay members of the legislature
will have something to say about the
work. The amendments will have to
be explained and perhaps amended
again. 1t is an immense task, but, per-
haps, not altogether hopeless. That
the code will be satisfactory in the
face of the necessity for considering
fifteen hundred amendments either in
committee or regular session is not to
be expected. When last heards from
the code was in a most deplorable
1t that in the hurry to beat it into some
sort of form it is not made to nullify
itself in important matters.

VAROAMAN,S SERVICE

The spectacle of the fire eating gov
ernor of Mississippi standing in the
market place of the states capital city
beseeching or rather commanding the
people not to let a mob wreak its
vengeance on a negro criminal is an
inspiring one for the nation. 1t should
go long ways toward softening the ef-
feet of the harsh utterances that have
made enemies for him here in the
North. A sharp tongued, impetuous
individual is Mississippi's chief execu-
tive, a Southerner seemingly lacking in
that suavity and polish that governs
the intercourse of the Southern gentle
man with his kind. But he has shown
that he is careful of the honor of his
state, and that he believes the criminal
as the whites.
There have been Southern governors
more conciliatory who, in a crisis, have
proved weakened. There have been
Northern governors whose patriotism
and reverence for the law did not GO
far enough to save their states from
the dishonor of mob violence. If these
can set Gov. Vardaman an example in
courtesy, he, at least, has set them
an example in something that is a
far more important qualification than
courtesy for the chief executive of any
state to possess, and that is a firm de-
termination to have the law obeyed.
This is not an extolment of the
Vardaman type of governor. Every
man has a right to his own conyic-
tions, but he has done some things
that have been in execrable taste. 1t
is, however, an extolment of his action
in this particular incident He has
contributed nothing toward the soiu-
ton of the color question; as much as
one individual can, he has complicated
it. But he is, apparently, doing his
best to prevent the worst possible ef-
feet of its present predominance. the
brutaliZing of the whites.

MODELS For NovELIsIs


Unique ideas are so rare nowadays
that Clarence w. Taber, writer and of
Chicago, deserves to be congratulated
upon the one that he recently evolved.
DESTROYS of writing work of fiction
and being unwilling to go abroad in
search of material, the thought oc-
Cured to him that he might induce
the material to come to him. He ad-
vertised and 1T swarmed about his
study door. There were ladies with
pasts who desired to be handed down
to fame by Mr.. Taber as adventuresses.
There were beautiful young women
who We're convinced that they would
make capital heroines for a best
seller" There were Gibsonesque young
fellows who fancied themselves in. the
role of hero, and there was one ac-
commodating burglar who was not
averse to pointing a moral provided he
might adorn a tale.
After taking copious notes Mr..
Taber wrote his book, but alas! he
was indiscreet enough to explain his
method in the preface, and now the
Chicago litterateur is replying to the
critics. why" he demands indig-
nantly in a letter published in an
Eastern journal, should an artist re-
quire a model more than an author p"
Why, indeed? The question reminds us
that the artist has too long enjoyed a
monopoly of the model market and
that his literary brother is quite justi-
fed; that. I'm fact, he has been alto
gether too slow in asserting his own
rights.
Certainly the thought of a model
gives a fresh charm to the pursuit of
letters. Could the weary literary
drudge look forward to "sittings" given
daily by some beautiful and ingenious
young creature willing to pour out her
soul for the entertainment or the up
lifting of the general public, would not
that public be justified in expecting
from him an inspired work? And
would not the drudge himself write
with winged pen, and would he not
be apt to put his soul as well as hers
in his book?
The subject suggests infinite possi-
bilities, and all members of the litera-
ry craft undoubtedly owe a debt of
gratitude to the enterprising Mr.. Taber.
Who knows but that in the near future
we will hear as much about the au-
thor's model as about the artists
model? Beautiful young woman who
posed for the heroine in Mr.. Scratch
ems new novel; or "The original of
the adventures i'm Mrs. Scribble's latest
book" are lines that the public may
expect to find under published photo
graphs in the magazines of the future

THE FREE TEXT BOOK BILL

In spite of the recommendation for
passage given House File ia, known
as the free text book bill, it is not
probable that the house will pass the
opposition of many thousands of citi-
ZenS to the proposed law the repre-
sentatives, we believe, may be depend
ed upon to give this measure its
quietus.
There is no sufficient justification for
its passage. 1t has been offered as an
enactment for the sole purpose Of COM
pelling small proportion of the school
districts of the state to accept prac-
tice which they do not favor and
which would not be justified by exist
ing conditions. We are informed that
districts in the state some five thou
sand have adopted the free text book
plan voluntarily This has been done
as a matter of expediency, the schools
being of the same class, using the
same books, and the operation of the
practice adding no burden to any tax
payer. 1t may be fairly assumed that
il the same conditions as to popula-
ton and practice obtained in the other
districts they, too, would provide for
free text books. But because they
happen to hold different views from
the people of the districts which have
put the free text book arrangement
into effect is not reason for compelling
them to accept a practice that would
add to their burdens without bringing
any adequate compensation.
The house has been informed of the
state of public opinion by the weight
of the protest made against House
File la. We have not been informed
that there is any demand for the en-
actment of the measure except on the
part of a few men who seek to impose
their views upon a great body whose
should be sufficient answer to their
demand that the bill shall be passed to
require them to show that any consid-
erable number of people would be ben
Gifted by the enactment of a free text
book law. So far all the evidence con-
corning the state of public opinion is
directly opposed to the bill. Let us
hope that the house will put an effect
i've stopper on The bill by rejecting it.
