criticisms. Most everybody spoke of
Little Johnny Jones' as the most
original, the most thoroughly Ameri-
can, and the most clever entertain
ment of the kind that has been wit
messed for many years, and it has
stamped George M. Conan as one Of
the most gifted authors and composers
who is now supplying the stage with
entertainment. The same beautffur
and stupendous production that maze

table attractions of last season will be
seen here. The scenery is spoken of
as realistic and beautiful and includes
three full stage sets of enormous size
and massiveness. The wardrobe is al
so promised as being very beautiful.
The cast consists of many well known
names. The company numbers seven
ty-five people and is one of the largest
and most expensive on tour this sea-
son. For this production Mr.. Conan
has composed over. twenty musical
numbers, and in the hands of one of
the strongest singing organizations IN
America it is said to be one of the
most delightful features of Little
Johnny Jones'" called by many a mu-
steal melodrama, inasmuch as it de-
picts the adventures of an American
jockey who goes to England to ride
the races, and who falls the victim of
a plot and meets with all kinds of har-
rowing experiences. Mr.. Cohan is said
to have displayed much originality in
the development of his story and has
given to the stage probably the most
sensational features ever witnessed in
comedy.

Objection is being made by the Saloon interests to
the presenceaof women and children the polls Tues
day. it awaysas when the question of driving or
retaining the Saloons is to be settled
The stabedTebjection always is: polling place is
fit place for wonen and children.
Well, why isn't polling place fit place for women
and chiidren Is it because the polling place COR
rup? If that so then is high time that the fact was
known. Andif the other hand the polling place is
corrupt then what harm improperly there be
the of good women and little children the
place where their husbands and brothers. sons and
fathers, go to cast their ballots?
No one anywhere can be harmed by the presence

Saloon interests afraid of that influence is high

of the effort drive out the Saloon ought to be- and

1t is therefore highly proper that any in

Australia Invents a
Sliding Tariff Rate.

Some time ago The Journal pub
Iished plan proposed by Mr.. A. NJ.
Stillman, deputy collector Of customs,
of Pensacola. providing for sliding
tariff scale or one which would adjust
itself automatically as the market on
the various commodities affected went
up or down. A recent dispatch from
Melbourne, Australia, indicates that
the plan proposed by Mr.. Stillman, or
one something like it, is about to be
put into effect there. The dispatch
says:
The commonwealth government has
published the reports of the tariff
commissioners.
The free trade section of the COM
mission recommend the continuance
Of the existing compromise duties or
lower duties in the majority of cases.
British preference to be genuine,
means, they say, that the Australian
duties against the motherland should
not exceed IL per cent.
They deny that the evidence sub
mitted TO them reveals the existence
of dumping by outside competitors,
and they declare that it is impossible
| under existing conditions to establish
shipbuilding or mining machinery in
dustries. The free traders also oppose
the penny duty on each packet of tea
The protectionist reports follow the
same line as the new tariff in the main,
but the government proposals out
Herod in dozens of cases, thus enOr-
mously exceeding the recommends
tions of their own friends on the
commission.
The most notable feature of the re-
ports is the production by the protec-
ZIONIST commissioners of a complete
scheme insuring that both the worker
| and the consumer shall be protected
| in the forty leading items of the new
| tariff. Two free traders, Mr.. Clemens,
| liberal, and Mr.. Fowler, labor, indorse
the scheme in principle. The worker
| is protected by the awards of the
wages boards and the consumer by a
provision empowering the minister to
suspend the duty when the retail sell
ing price of protected goods appears
to be unfairly increased by reason of
the du,y.
! While this is not exactly the plan
advocated by Mr.. Stillman, it is one
containing the same principle that his
contained and which would, part at
least, accomplish the same results.

Have not many, if not most all, OF
