TARIFF COMMISSION PLAN.

How do we know that President
Roosevelt favors tariff ,readjustment,
either with or without the aid of a
commission? asks American Industries.
Secretary Taft, in addresses which
We're submitted to the President be-
fore they We're delivered, talked in
favor of revision, and he would like
10 see commission appointed to
assist congress in this work. The
president himself has talked in favor
of revision and of commission to lay
out the lines on which the revising
ought to be done.
"The executive department has al
ready at its disposal methods of col
lecting facts and figures" said Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his annual message
to congress in 1902, in which he sug-
gested tariff revision; "and if congress
desires additional consideration to
that which will be given the subject
by its own committees, then COM
mission of business experts can be
appointed whose duty it should be to
recommend action by congress after
a deliberate and scientific eXamina-
ton of the various schedules as they
are affected by the changed and chang
ing conditions. The unhurried and I'M
biased report of this commission would
show what changes should be made in
the various schedules, and how far
these changes could go without endan-
gering the great prosperity which this
country is now enjoying, or upset
ting its fixed economic policy"
From expressions attributed to him
which have appeared in the press
frequently in the past few months,
the country has reasonable assur-
ance that Mr. Roosevelt favors the
tariff commission idea even more
strongly now than he did when he
wrote his message of 1902. There is a
fair probability that he will recon-
mend the commission in the message
which he will send to congress at the
opening of the session in December.
or that he will do it in special
message early III Tie sessIoh.
Congress will be appealed to by
the people to favor the appointment
of a tariff commission. Already thous-
ands of business men, merchants, job
bers, manufacturers, laboring men
farmers, have written members OF
the home to stand for the naming
of an impartial commission that will
take hold of this tariff readiustment
scheme in a business like manner
and the results OF the labors can in
no way affect the industrial system
of this country.

FOR A TARIFF COMMISSION.

The following is from the heads of
the National Association of Manufact-
urers, National Foreign Commerce con
vention and the American Reciprocal
Tariff league: :.
Adequate protection to American. Ia
Dor and industries is the established
policy of this country. 1t is a motor
ious fact, nevertheless, that existing
customs classifcations, as well as rates
of duty, are sadly out Of line with
conditions now prevailing in the world
OF trade. Many of those, however, who
realize this fact, are inclined to post
pone as long as possible the work of
readjustment for the reason that tariff
changes as heretofore made have unset
tied business. The question arises,
therefore, is there no way in which
abuses can be corrected, our foreign
trade safeguarded, and justice served
. the consuming public, without menac-
ing the general prosperity?
Three great nation conventions of
commercial and agricultural interests,
to-wit: The National Reciprocity con-
vention, held at Chicago in 1905, the
Foreign Commerce convention, held at
Washington, d. c., Jan. 1907, and the an
nual convention of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers held in New
York city in May, 1907, have consid-
cred this matter and agreed unani-
mously in calling upon congress to create
a permanent non-partisan tariff COM
mission with mi-judicial functions,
such as the power to summon witness
es,-which shall make an unbiased in
vestigation of the operation of our Gus
toms duties, regulations and classified.
tions, hear complaints, study domestic
and foreign market conditions, and re-
port to the executive and to congress
from time to time such notifications
as in their judgement may safely and
the general welfare.
We seek not a reversal of policy
but an intelligent readjustment of an
accepted policy to meet changing con.
ditions. The fact that the protected
industries of the country themselves
as represented in the National Asso
citation of Manufacturers are earnestly
supporting this proposition, reflects the
general desire of business men every
where, regardless of party, to see The
consideration of these questions re
moved as far as possible from tn,
arena of politics. 1t is believed thai
permanent commission of this sor
to be named by the president, would
in due course of time demonstrate
its value and win the confidence of thu
people and of congress to such de
gree that it's findings and recommends
tions, based upon broad business con
siderations, would be respected and a
general rule approved. -

the statute against profanity. But
that is in the south. Here in the

According to the report of the
New York state commission on lun-
acy, the total number of persons
confined in institutions for the in
sane in that state is 26,357. This is
a proportion of about one to every
300 of the population. The indications
are that insanity has been steadily
on the increase since 1897. While the
percentage of foreign born to the popu-
lation is 26, the percentage of foreign
born insane is 46 Insane patients
of Irish and German nativity are on

The luau luncheon given yesterday
afternoon at "Hopoe Hale Waikiki

members of the Legislature, their
wives, and their officers, was a most
pleasant affair, and a gracious compn-

best body of lawmakers which Hawaii
has yet produced.
The luncheon which began at O'clock
was held in a large marquee pitched
on the spacious grounds just back from
the beach The Hawaiian Band and
a quintet of stringed instruments and
a number of vocalsts alternated in
rendering delightful music during the
two hours of the luau, and added much
tc the pleasure of the occasion. The
only thing which detracted from the
perfect enjoyment of the day was the
fact that the Queen was suffering from
an ndispostion which made it impos-
sible for her to be present and person
ally welcome her guests. She was rep

The following simple homemade
mixture is said TO readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie, and take a t~easpoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief. and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af.
1icted.

Sine Had Dropped a $4,000 String oi
Diamonds.
During the performance of Marta
at the Metropolitan opera house, says
the New York World, at a time wher
Caruso was caressing the top of the
%proscenium arch with his liquid notes
something like a flash of white light
shot from one of the upper boxes o.
the orchestra. A lady in the box from
which the flash seemed to have started
languidly placed her hand to her throal
and said to a gentleman at her side:
How annoying!"
The gold fastening of a diamond
necklace she wore had parted and the
string of gems, probably a score o.
them, worth $4,000 or more, had fall
en- into the lap Of a lady in an orches
ira seat and thence TO the floor. The
gentleman in the box, when the situa
ton was explained, calmly arose
stepped to the rear, called an usher
and whispered some instructions tt
him.
In the meantime the lady upon
whom the string of diamonds had de
seconded was following the perform
ance and the music.
To her came the usher, after an ap
propriate interval. He inquired il any
thing had dropped from the boxes
The lady drew aside her skirt anc
pointed to the necklace on the floor
The usher picked it up, carried 1t bach
to the box and the incident was closed
None had been disturbed save the
direct actors in the little side event
and they made no noise. 1t was
simply an incident In life in New
York. 1t couldn't happen anywhere
else.
