Tile first man who succeeded In max
Ing II useful chain cable was Robert
Finn. and he experimental with it in
1908 in n small ship named the Anne
md Isabella, OF 300 tons burden. Els
cable was made OF very short links
with no stay pins or studs, snys the
London Globe, but 1T served its pur.
pose and WAS, moreover, favorably3rc-
ported upon by some of the progressive
sea:ncn of the time.
At about the same period n lieuten-
ant In the navy named Samuel Brown
was also experimenting with chain ca
blcs made OF twisted links, and this
when IL was duly patented he brought
to the attention of the navy board
After much discussion 1t was decided
10 give Lieutenant Brown the com
mand Of Il sailing vessel, the Penelope
and send him on voyage to Marti
nlquc and Guadcloupe. At his own OK
pensc he was to supply chain cables
for inc .hip, and they were to be ex-
perimented with on the voyage. Dur.
Ing the four months the ship was away
the new cables were given thorough
trial and proved quite satisfactory.
When Brown made his report II com
mittce was appointed to advise as to
the adoption OF the chain cable In place
Of the hempcn. and rs result the new
tackle was gradually introduced into
mcn-of-war Between 1910 and 1911
the first chain cables were served out
TO the ships. but the full complement
OF hempen ropes was still retained
This system remained In force until
1914, when the number of hcmpen Ca
bles was reduced to three, and in 1917
further change was ordered, two
hempcn cables only being retained rs

During the Russian war the superior

sYMPATHY LEANS To 1EGs.

There Is one appeal to charity that lis pretty sure to be answered" said a philanthropist That is a request for an artificial leg. Legs, somehow are warmly appreciated by the general public, and the fellow who has to scrape along without one is the object of sincere commiseration. During my fifteen years exuerience in philanthro- pie work l have issued appeals to the people at large on behalf of persons who wanted various parts of their anatomy replaced. Some wanted teeth, some an eye, others hook like Cap tain Cuttle's, Physical deficiencies of that kind aroused but little interest but just let man advertise the fact that he was in need of a leg and enough money was quickly forthcom- ing to fit him out with three or four pairs of legs, "--New York Press.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE TARIFF
Cannot Be Put Away in Cam, phor Until After
 Next Year.
THE REFoRMERS' CHANGE
The President 8 Gingerly Treat men of Revision
 of Tariff.

| It is already evident that those who think the tariff question can be pu, away in camphor until after the nex Presidential election, are living in ( fools paradise. The thing will down at no mans bidding It is not only tariff-reformers who insist upon keep. ing up the discussion. Tariff bigots dc the same thing. Yesterday in the sen. ate, resolutions were introduced by Senator Gallinger which were in effect an attack upon the administration fol having temporarily composed our tariff differences with Germany It was done by mutual concessions. The German government agreed not to ap- ply its maximum duties to our ex. ports, and in return we agreed to give up the vexatious and often outrageous marking up of the valuations of Ger man invoices But did anybody sup pose that the Protective Tariff League would let such a reasonable adjust ment pass without shrill protests Foreign goods have been let into the sacred preserves; and so we see the President and secretary of State de- nounced as traitors to the protection ist cause, and Senator Gallnger is put forward to make the fight for the wholehog tariff, The spirit of the high protectionists is like that of the champions of slavery, who, Just before it was about to fall forever, asserted with noble rage that it must not be attacked in any particular.
 If the tariff beneflciaries and the protectionist fanatics will not let the question sleep, certainly reformers cannot fail to press home the truth at every opportunity. Never was the chance fiSer to strike against tariff in- justice. By accident, the protection ists have been abde to enlist on their side the superstition that high tar4 if means prosperity. But now, by accident, that political argument, fal- lacious but effective, has been taken away from them. Depression has come with the tariff at its highest Manufacturers are crippled, men are being thrown out of work or having their wages cut down, with protection powerless to prevent it. The popular delusien on that subject is now shat tered ifreparably; and the country is ready to hear the truth with a more unbiased mind.
 Moreover every door that a protec- tionist President would open by a crack, simply demands to be flung wide MT Roosevelt came out for the removal of all duties on every forest product. 49 would not only make white paper, but lumber. cheaper; and this on the incidental ground of the
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-12-14

threatened exhaustion of our home supply. In forest products, however, we are not approaching an absolute limit, since we have millions of acres adapted to the growth of such pro- ducts, and the science of forestry is rapidly advancing But with coal and iron the case is different Nature is not making new beds of coal to take the place of those which we are So rapidly using up. The same may be said of various other mineral pro- ducts. Yet we get no word from the President urging the removal of tariff duties from the supplies from other countries If the pulp of the newspa- per could be made of coal, possibly he would have remembered the tariff on coal
 In his implied recommendation that the tariff on art be abolished, the President made another halting con cession, where every consideration of logic and good sense should have car ried him further. The tariff on books, scientific instruments, and other such aids to the progress of civilization is even more barbarous than the tariff on art. No one is better aware than the President of the absurdity and the positive injury of such duties, nor will his reasons for delay until after the Presidential election apply to them,
 A pungent article in the Portland 0regonian, which has been stout de- fender of MT Roosevelt, though it is for tariff revision, shows how topic after topic in the Presidents message really led him up to the iniquities of the tariff, though he refrained from following the argument. The Presi- dent dwells upon the evils of large and secret campaign contributions. But who have been the notorious cor- rupters of the suffrage through large gifts of money to politicians? Who but the tariff barons2 President Roosevelt himself took their checks, and has thus far yielded to their demand that

IRISH BEAUTY

When the late Augustus St. Gau. dens started in to remake some of our coin designs it was expected that he would secure as models female types that are wholly American. There was a good deal of unfavorable comment over the fact that an English girl has served as a model for Liberty on one of our coins and that little school girl had posed as an Indian to adorn the back of the copper cent. Now we were to have American types that should be perfectly reasonable in all respects.
 We do not suppose that American girls are lacking in beauty, or that they have not profiles as classic and contours as delectable as any, but it turns out that, after all St. Gaudens chose the pretty face of a charming young waitress who was born in Ire- land, and she now adorns the coins which are soon to be issued. A protest was filed with the department but 1t was overruled. The Irish beauty wins and the American girls must suppress their wrath as best they can.
 We see no occasion to get excited over such a small matter as this. Art knows no red lines on the map. Beauty is not national except as to certain types If an Irish girl suited the artist best, then it Is more glory to the girl and no shame to those who were born in America And, after all by this time the young lady in question is doubtless a good American and will doubtless soon have a good American husband Inquirer.

he leave untouched the tariff which they bought and paid for. The Pres ident talks much about "equalizing opportunity" yet what inequality Is so gross as the privilege purchased by a few to enrich themselves, through tar tiff laws, at the expense of the many 2 Mir Roosevelt opposes Socialism, yet nothing could be more socialistic, or more provoke an active socialistic movement, than law to make a gov ernment tax means of private en- richment and oppression. The Ore gonian sums up:
 The revision of the tariff is the greatest moral and economic Issue be- fore the nation to-day The people de- mand it. Morality demands it The obvious principles of justice demand 1t. Yet MT Roosevelt disrnisses this supreme question in a paragraph.
 One of the weaknesses of the Presi- dents gingerly treatment of the revi- sion of the tariff Is his Implied view that any given duty is 9 vested right of it's beneficiary. Hence no change must be made until after due notice" Hence,salsc, the need of having the tariff revised only nby Its friends. But there is no reforming edge inN all this. We do not wait to serve due notice upon a man wlto Is picking out pcck- cts. Nor do we leave 1t to highway men to revise their own code. In the present temper of the American peo- pie. the tariff as 8 vested wrong has a better chance of being considered on it's demerits than for many years Prophesiers of smooth things will urge that we keep quiet about it, or wait indefinitely, relying upon prom ises as false as dioer's paths, but the issue is irrepressible.
