NO REVISION
OF TARIFF
THIS YEAR

Washington, Jan 1.-Speaker Cannon
and other Republican leaders in the house
have decreed that there shall be no tariff
revision this winter President Roose-
welt was silent on the subject OF tariff
revision IN his message TO congress and
the hearts Of the stand -patters were made
glad.
They were satisfied that there will be
no tariff tinkering for at least another
year, and that protection was safe as the
sacred fetch OF the Republican party.
even though a formidable element I'm the
party was crying out for revision.
The American Protective Tariff league
the organization OF high tariff advocates,
as represented by it's officers. is not 40 SEE
cure In the belief that the protected inter-
ests are safe behind their high tariff wall,
Realizing the growing demand for
reciprocity and tariff revision, the con
trolling spirits in the league have de
cided on a scheme TO distract public at
tention from the tariff question.
Wilbur r. Wakeman, secretary OF the
league, from his headquarters In New
York, has sent 10 the press here and TO
urging the agitation OF the demand for re-
form IN election laws, whereby nomina-
tions of candidates FOR elective offices
shall be made by direct primary instead
OF by delegate convention.
In word tho stand-patters, accord
ing TO the revisionists I'm Washington.
would offset or kill tariff agitation by an
attempt 10 arouse popular sentiment over
n widely different question and one that
might more readily meet with public
favor because OF the anti-machine. anti
boss movement which is sweeping over
the country. Secretary Wskeman says:
Under the present political system. a
person nominated by the dominant party

orally elected. Very often he has been
put forward by some special interest. boss
or clique. but not by the people.
"Direct nominations will correct this
condition by restoring TO the people their
constitutional rights in selecting nomi-
nees for office.
Direct nominations mean that a stated
percentage OF electors may. can and shall
name all persons for elective offices with
out the Intervention OF delegates or con-
ventions.
Il trust that patriotic citizens OF all
parties will make direct nominations their
one political demand OF the year 1906.
ANY politician or leader OF any party
opposing this plan is open 10 suspicion"
Undoubtedly the American Protective
Tariff league would be glad 20 have pat
riotic citizens OF all parties make direct
nominations their one politlcal demand for
1906" In all probability too. the league
will have some other equally interesting
subject 20 he made the popular demand
during the wear 1907.

HAR5oR.
The matter OF acquiring the west shore
OF Providence harbor and building docks
has been before the city council from
time to time. since 1877. In that year a
plan was presented 10 build a retaining
wall and docks between Hill's wharf and
Sa assafras Point, and was rejected. In
1891 the whole matter OF improving this
territory for use i'm navigation was In
vestigated by a special comT1ittee Of the
city council and authority was obtained
from the general assembly authorizing
the city to borrow $4,000 To construct n
retaining wall from Hills wharf 10 Sas-
safras Point.
In December, 1893, the council apthor-
lied this special committee to apply 10
the geenral assembly for authority 10
build a retaining wall on the west side
OF the Providence river, parallel with the
harbor line. from the ney city wharf 30
the Harbor Junction pier, and authoriz-
ing the supreme court to appoint COM
missioners TO apportion the expense
among the riparian owners Of the land.
No action was taken on this application
by the general assembly In 1896 and i'm
1899 the matter was again brought before
the council IN different ways. and in May,
1899 the whole matter was considered by
the city council, the city having an option
on certain lands and a resolution was
adopted applying to the general assembly
for authority TO hire 5000. 900 i'm addi-
tion 10 the amount named by the act of
1891 In response TO this appllca tion the
general assembly amended the act of 1891
increasing the amount which the city was
authorized to borrow. from $3.50. 900 90
$3.50 900.
The same year. the committee on har-
bor was directed 10 give public hearing
on the question Of harbor Improvement.
The committee held one public hearing at
which there appeared to be very little
public sentiment in favor Of this under
taking. The matter was kept alive under
various resolutions. some Of them laid on
the table. until 1909. at which time a
resolution was passed by the city council
authorizing the harbor committee 10 re-
port plans and estimates for constructing
municipal docks buying land and improv-
ing Providence harbor provided that
there shall he no expense incurred charge

tion."
This resolution has never been repealed.

With little more knowledge of the

out of his Ignorance he drew his rigid
lines so rigidly and so deeply and keen

in the organization that the organiza

Broadly speaking, the child which is
not left to the jOltipgs of the child
world, and the youth who is kept from
the millings and competitions of others
of his own age belong to the unfortun'
ates. In the same measure the young
man and the young woman who have
preached to them only idealized philos'
ophies which should exist in hfe-ana

barrassed or even permanently crippled
by reason of false teachings.
The keynote of the whole civilized
community life is found in the one
word. Concession. The idealist cannot
even walk through the business world
without obstructing traffic. If ever he
is able to do so, the whole mechanism
of commerce and industry will have
simplified until business acumen will be
a lost art. Olt of economic conditions
the young man should prepare to make
his grudging concessions in business
life. He should be so fortified as not
TO be shocked at world conditions. He
should be entrenched in right thinking
and the principles of right living as to
have his "dead line" drawn sharply
short of wrong. But between the lires
of active good and even dormant wrong
there is such a wide field for business
concessions that the busines man who
fights only in this field may finish in

Why Nurse DOESN'T Hold Job Long

Carefully gathered statistics appear
70 show that the marryingest Of all
women are trained nurses. Thbugn
complete figures have not as yet been
compiled, from a considerable mass OF
data the conclusion is drawn that
nine out OF ten trained nurses marry
during the first seven years Of their
occupation as such.
When a pretty young woman speaks
of 6evoting her life to the self-denying
profession Of trained nurse she is
using, perhaps uneonsciously, mere
figure Of speech. Statistics show that
she has an even chance Of being mar
ried within four and half years and
that she has one chance in eight Of be

chances are five TO one that within ten
