VIM. M'K|NLEY FOR
TARIFF REVISION
Former President a Con-
vert in Second Term.
PREPARING A NEW POLICY
Exponent of Protective Tariff Approved
the Birth of Present Western
Propaganda.

Ihat President Mckinley. at the be
ginning of his second term rs President,
was converted to the belief that the
Dlngiey law had reached the point
where IL needed revision, and that he
was prepared to urge such a policy
during his second term. is the broad
Proposition Land down by the Pittsburg
Gazette, whuse declaration for REVISION
In The Fifty ninth Congress has caused
furoro in Pennsylvania and indeed
over all the country
Inc Washington correspondent of the
Gazette has been inquiring into the
real meaning, origin, and backing ni
the demand, from the West and from
New England as well, for revision. In
4 remarka bic article which is published
IN his paper this morning he declares
that President Mckinley was the origi-
nal revfsionist. and that the Iowa pro-
posal. now known TO fame as the Iowa
idea, not only was not distasteful &c
him. but had his approval The circum-
stances are given TO prove this. and IL
addition the Buffalo speech. the last
public utterance of President Mckinley

sympathy with the Iowa proposal.
Mckinley Approved Towa Idea"
The Gazette correspondent. discuss
ing this phase. says:
In the West the demand for tariff re
vision Is embodied in the so-called Iowa
idea This policy had its inception il
Iowa, but II has now spread TO othe1
Western States until II could more ap
propriately be called the Western idea
Instead OF wearing the name OF a singl,
State. Considering that the mere men
tion of the Iowa idea acts upon tn
stand pat element much as a red fas
affects a bull, il may be surprising Il
learn that the birth OF the tariff pro
! paganda IN the West met with the ap
proval and consent of President VII
! liam Mckinley. himself the greatest ex
| ponent of the protective tariff principle
This information Is given upon the au
thority OF one well advised of the fact
and the statement is well supported b.
cIrcumstantial evidence
when the Presidential campaign o
| 1886 opened George Z. Roberts, nov
Director OF the Mint. was the editor o
a newspaper in Dodge City, Iowa, ant

Mr.. Roberts that ii circulated million

tracted TO the document, and he use
some OF the statements contained in
IN his speeches. Later Mr.. Robert
made speech on the money question
that further gave evidence that he wa
well grounded in this branch of pc
litical economy, and which McKinle
also read with interest

Want Schedules Changed.

There are some specific schedules
that the eXponents or the Iowa idea
want to see changed. most promineu: OF
them being those on lumber and steel
Iowans claim that reduction Of the

Chose Roberts for Office.

THE result was that when Mckinley
was elected he concluded that the Ad-
ninistration needed the services OF able
men like Mr.. Roberts. and after talking
the matter over with Senators Allison
and Dolliver. he offered Mr.. Roberts
the directorship of the mint. which he
accepted and has held ever since
when he came to Washington. Mr..
Roberts was very close to the Presi-
dent. and had every opportunity TO learn
his views on all the economic questions
Previous to the Iowa State conven-
ton OF 1901 there was n strong tariff
revision sentiment throughout The
State, and many OF the Republican
leaders there were of the opinion that
the convention should voice this senti-
ment Mr.. Roberts drew up plank tc
be submitted to that convention. in
which II was declared that tariff sehed-
ules that fcstered and sheltered monop
oIies should be reduced This was Tho
substance OF the plank. although it was
elaborated into a formal declaration
The Washington times., 1905-09-10
Supported Revision Plank.

Mr.. Roberts submitted the statement
to President Mckinley. who told him
to 20 ahead and place il in the State
platform. This was done. and thus was
the Iowa idea born with the blessing
and approval OF the country's leading
protection advocate
This plank, adopted at the State con
vention of 1901. was reaffirmed without
serious opposition in the convention Of
1902 But by the time the convention Of
1893 assembled the stand patters had or
ganized a fight upon u and were pre-
pared 10 make a determined effort to
bring about It's defeat. They were not
successful. however. and again the
plank was embodied In the State plat
form But last year the opposition OF
the stand patters was more effective
They forced a modification of the plank
by eliminating some Uf the moro OBJ
jectionable phrases. though IT still ex-
pressed the ideas OF the revision forces
And that Iowa idea stands today as the
favored policy of Iowa Republicans
Cummins and Shaw.
Governor Cummins is the recognized
leader of the revisionists while Secretary
OF the Treasury Shaw Is looked upon as
the leading exponent of the stand pat
ters. For some mcnths Mr.. Shaw has
been going up ana down the land

No Children in Japan.

There are no children in Japan.
They are dignified burlesques on the
grown-ups. The little girls of the
family take care Of the babies by hav-
ing them strapped to their backs.
Nearly every maid of or has ba-
by tied to her back and perhaps that
accounts for the bent back and tot
tering gait of the Japanese woman.
Though one never hears a Jap baby
cry, If one begins to make mouth
and wrinkles up its funny little face,
its child-mother quiets it by raising
her body on her toes and heels as fast
as she can, and placidlty reigns in
short order. A man would feel like
fool quoting Mother Goose" to a
Japanese child or trying to amuse it
as one does our children. AS for
chucking one under the chin. that's
unthinkable.

Man TOyed with Fate

In the armies of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries the custom
of casting lots to decide what soldiers
should be punished for the offenses Of
all was common. At Winchester, Eng
land. in 1645, complaint was made
that after the surrender there had
been unfair plundering Six soldiers
were tried and found guilty and 1t
was decided by lot which one of the
six should be hanged. At Tangiers in
1858, and again in 1865, two soldiers
had to cast dice on a drumhead and

Half mile away appeared light

driven by young southerner who
was taking his sweetheart out for a

the horse spied the approaching auto
mobile it cut a few didos. Col Jones
instantly brought his machine to
full stop as near the side of the road
as possible, there being a deep ditch
on either side the central driveway.
All went well until the horse
reached the auto, wher, apparently
out Of pure nervousness, it pranced
a little. Then the youthful driver,
anxious to prove to the young woman
at his side that he was master of the
situation, drew his whip and struck
the already frightened horse a heavy
blow. Instantly the animal plunged
