nicknamed him "the boy who catches the

required to make elaborate measurements

which the colonel in regular announcements
gave credit to the gunners and squads who

must be revised.
Tariff Revision After Election.
This country IS definitely committed 10
the protective system and any effort to
uproot II could not but cause widespread
industrial disaster. In other words. the
principle OF the present tariff law could
not with wisdom be changed But In
country OF such phenomenal growth as
ours il is probably well that every dozen
years or 10 the tariff laws should be
carefully scrutinized so as to see that no
excessive or improper benefits are con-
ferred thereby, that proper revenue IS
provided, and that our foreign trade is
encouraged. There must always be as
a minimum a tariff which will not only
allow for the collection of an ample rev.
enue, but which will at least make good
the difference in the labor cost here and
abroad, for the well-being OF the wage
worker must ever be a cardinal point OF
American policy.
The question should be approached
purely from a business standpoint; both
the time and the manner of the change
nelnE Sucn as TO al ouSe the lllilAAAAiuAAi
of agitation and disturbance in the bnsl-
hess world, and to give the least play
for selfish and facdonal motives. The
sole consideration should be 70 see that
the sum total OF changes represents the
public good. This means that the sub
ject cannot with wisdom be dealt with
in the year preceding a Presidential
election, because as matter OF fact
experience has conclusively shown that
at such a time II is impossible 10 get

the public good. In my judgment the
wise time 10 deal with the matter ~
immediately after such election.

road accidents in this country has be-
come appalling. IT Is a subject of which
the National Government should take
supervision. IL might be well to be-
gin by providing for a Federal inspec-
tion OF Interstate railroads somewhat
along the lines OF Federal inspection OF
steamboats, although not going so far;
perhaps at first all that IL would be
necessary to have would be some Of
fcer whose duty would be TO investigate
all accidents on interstate railroads and
report in detail the causes thereof.
Such an onicer should make IL his
business to get into close touch with
railroad operating men so as to become
thoroughly familiar with every side OF
tho question, the idea being TO work
along the lines OF the present steamboat

ana wrongs Of capital; and the Ma

the decision of the court is put into
effect. The process of injunction il an
essential adjunct of the courts doing
its work well; and as preventive meas
ures are Slways better than remedial,
the wise use OF this process is from
every standpoint commendabie. But
where It is recKisssly or unnecessarily
used, the abuse should be censUled,
above all by the very men who are
properly anxious to prevent any effort

power
The courts decision must be final;
the protest is only against the conduct
OF individual judges in needlessly an

tyranntcal use of what is nominally a

The inland waterways which lie just
