WILL HE SuccEEns

Tt is announced that Representative Ames, of Massachusetts, proposes to force the Republican brethren of the House to put themselves on record on the subject of tariff revision. His idea is that immediately after the 4th pf March. at which time the Sixtieth Congress will begin, there should be a special session called for the express purpose of amending and revising the tariff. His plan is to get a caucus of Republicans called for the purpose of taking such action, and as it requires fifty signatures to enforce the calling of a caucus to take such action, he thinks he will make the Republicans show their hands, and will find out if there are as many as fifty of them willing to SC on record as favoring re- vision.
 The New York Commercial has doubts as to Ames siccess. It says if the fifty "can be had at all, the doughty Massachusetts tariff reformer can prob ably get them. We shall see. He will have an uphill time of it, doubtless. In the first instance, the Republicans of the house are for the most part l''stand-patters," and President Roose- velt's silence on tarif-reform in his message has unquestionably encourag- led them to stand firm. Next, nobody in the house likes extra sessions. and it Is not at all unlikely that some Republi- cans there who strongly favor tariff revision would prefer going without it altogether to securing it through fore ed attendance at a special session of indeterminate length. Thirdly, it is not at all certain that the caucus, if called. would pass an extra-session resolution the probabilities are dead against it, lin fact. And. last, the President might not make the call. if so requested. If the Honorable Butler Ames can. under these circumstances, get the house Re- publicans on record for tariff revision, he will be worthy of a seat beside Her cules in history"

The Speaker asked everybody ground him who the stran- ger was. Nobody could tell him. Then the speaker allowed, with q menacing grimace, that he would like to know who he was and what right he had to the privileges of the floor. Messengers were sent scurrying over to The chat tering group of statesmen that sur rounded the tall Alabamian to ascer- tain his identity and rights. When they reported to the Speaker that he was the Governor elect of Alabama he again raised his gavel. this tirne more threateningly. He took a tight clutch on it's handle andit seemed that he was about to knock a piece off his desk with 1t. But he didn't even use 1t for gentle tap.

TAKING BACK WATER.

No President of the United States. so far as our memory serves. had a great CT faculty for balling himself up than Roosevelt has. and we remember none who oftener found occasion Ito change position. and to explain his words, than he. In that portion of his mes sage which relates to Japanese affairs he uses this language:
 T therefore earnestly recommend that the criminal and civil statutes of the United States be so amended and acting for the United States govern ment. which is responsible in our in ternational relations. to enforce the rights of aliens under treaties. Even as the law now is something can he done by the Federal government to- ward this end and in the matter now before me affecting the Japanese. ev- erything that 1t is in my power to do will be done. and all of the forces, mil itary and civil, of the United States which I may lawfully employ will be so employed
 The Californians, Including their members of Congress, took that to mean that he would use the military forces at his command to force the au- thorities of San Francisco to admit the Japanese children into the white schools. This aroused such fierce feeling of resentment that the Presi- dent hastens to pracate them by ex- plaining that what he meant was that he will use the military to protect Japanese< cizens against mob violence. There is nothing in the context or any other portion of the message, as The Charleston Post observes, to indicate the possibility of mob violence against the Japanese nor. as a matter of fact, have there been any threats of such. The President does however, make specific reference to the exclusion of the Japanese from the white schools of California and he charaCterizes this "a wicked absurdity." It Is understood that the admlnisration holds the Japa- nese entitled by their treaty rights to admission on an equal plane with the whites to the schools of the States where they, are resident, though this view is not set forth in the message. The whole tenor of the Presidents ut tevauues is to the effect that the Japa4 nese should be admitted to the schools and the indications are very clear that he purposes using every effort to se- cure their admission. He has nstruc- ted the Federal district attorney at San Francisco to make a complete test of the state right to exclude the Japa- nese from the schools, this being the civil action promised. It is impossible to draw from the message any other conclusion than that he intends to em- ploy the military forces Of the Federal government to support the Japanese

ConI Tar For ROnJs,

The treatment of macadamized streets and roads with crude petroleum as q preventive of dust in summer and mud in winter was first attempted in Southern France ten or fifteen years ago, and appears to have been suc- cessfuI. But for obvious. reasons the use of petroleum soon gave way to that of coal tar, which, as a by-pro- duct of gas manufacture, can be bought in nearly every district of France for five to seven centimes per kilogram; that is, $10 to $125O per me tric ton of 2,20O pounds Coal tar has the additional advantage that, unlike oil, if hardens when exposed in a thin layer to the action of the air, cover ing the surface of the road with a practically air and water tight skin. which not only holds down the dust in dry weather. but prevents water from penetrating the roadway in time of rain.
