Sidetrack the Tariff

81. Louis Republic: Apart from the
question whether Henry NJ Whitney
misunderstood President Roosevelt :
position ON Canadian reciprocity and
quoted him wrongly in the campaign
for lieutenant governor of Massachu-
sets. II Will not be easy to muZzle
tariff debate in the coming session of
congress.
The president seems greatly irri-
tated at MIR Whitney. but that is not
the only nor the real cause of his re-
fusal To- discuss tariff changes with
Gov. Douglas and other Massachusetts
manufacturers who went down to
Washington To plead for relief from
the tariff on raw materials. The same
appeal has previously been made by
letters 10 the president through Curtis
Guild. Jr., the republican governor
eject of Massachusetts.
Whatever may be President Roose-
velt's personal feelings toward the
Massachusetts men who poster him
about the tariff. the real reason for
his refusal 10 discuss that endless sub
JeCt az this time is his desire TO make
sure of railroad freight regulating leg

set his heart upon this measure His
sending of Secretary Taft 10 Ohio 20

President Roosevelt's uttCranceS of
the past two or three years indicate
plainly enough thar he is not an ardent
tarif reformcr. but il is not unlikely
that he would willingly listen to the
grievances OF Dingley tariff victims II
the attempt 10 give redress did not en-
danger the policy which he has made
paramount.
He knows thar if the tariff is taken

WANT ISLAND BAMkoO
A letter has been re ,ei9>d by lie
Board of Trade from FISCHER & Mich
ell of Florence, ttaty. enclosing saitl-
pie of bamboo, presumably from the
Hawaiian Islands, and asking at what
price split bamboo suitable for hat
making or weaving could be obtained
in, large quantities. The firm are hat
manufacturers and write that they are
particularly pleased with the quality
of the sample inclosed, and if a suit
able price can be agreed upon, they
could make use of a large quantity of
this raw material They desire the
bamboo material in the highest quail
ity. in its original color and not bleach
ed by the sun or artificial means. The
Committee on Varied Industries, of
which Mr. Turner is chairman, who
nave DeSH Tie SuOJeCl,
report that Hawaiian split bamboo can
be furnished in any quantity desired,
but there will be no great amount
available before October, as the young
shoots are not ready for cutting before
that time The strips are prepared
by hand. mostly by natives for use in
making mats, hats, fans and sofa cush-
ions. 1t is stated that because of the
difference in treatment, an absolutely
even grade cannot be depended upon.
although this difficulty could easily be
remedied by a uniform manner of cut
ting and curing. AS usually prepared a
little bluing is added to the water in
which the strips are washed and sea-
soned but this procedure could be
omitted, retaining the natural color of
the wood if desired. A small quantity
of the prepared bamboo has been sent
by parcels post to Fischer & Michells
at Florence. and Mr. Turner awaits
with interest a reply as to its receipt
and opinion of the quality of material
furnished. 1t is said that large guam
titles of bamboo could be used, pro-
vided the quality is satisfactory.

BILL BOARDS.

Those kinds of advertising which have
the official name of display" are. i'm
general. sins against propriety and
against art The question now is. are
they also sins against law and whether
or not they can be regulated by law and
then whether or not they can be regu-
lated by sense of propriety, and, fl
nally. whether they can be made works
of art.
The most serious phase of this ques-
ton has to do with bill boards. The
trouble began with the bfllposter who
posted on every fence and post that had
no sign, POST No Bills some gaudy
paper advertisement of a nostrum Or
show. Theatrical posters have been
popular since man and woman walked
before the footlights. From the one
sheet poster they have grown to the
great circus sheets covering the fence
of a mile track. The last step is the
permanent painted billboard. It's per-
manence is a. disadvantage because it
seems to give perpetuity to the evil.
but an advanta ge because it is more
susceptible to control
The legal aspect of the matter is
complicated as all restraint by law is
exercised through local statutes The
bill board companies which hold an
intermediate position between those
who buy and those who sell are well
lawyers. They are fighting tooth and
nail what they regard as encroach-
