CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
CALL OF THE PEOPLE

G ENATOR BEvERIDGE may be
~ young yet, but he is not so young
~ as he was when he made that
thrilling maiden speech on the floor OF
the upper house. Nevertheless he has
not been training with the Republican
party. in public life, long enough to
have become case-hardened and COM
placent in the face Of storm that
threatens to blow that venerable old
institution off it's foundations and then
rip up the foundations.
Senator Beveridge has developed a
: penchant for keeping his auditory organ
trained on the advance guard of relent-
less public opinion. Nine out of ten
among the remaining nobility sitting
on the sqirning lid in Washington, feel
ing the great sense of their RESPONSE
bility to nobody in particular and the
interests in general, insouciantly rub
their noses with their fingers while from
the four points of the compass come
insistent demands that the tariff law
shall be so modified as to curtail the
inordinate prosperity of the trusts and
permit of distribution of that pros
perity among the people.
Senator Beveridge insists that the
tariff shall be revised, not as the result
its devoted friends, but through COM
mission composed of non-partisan ex-
perts. He would have the new sched-
ules bear the brand of science, not the
earmarks of professional politicians.
Since the publication of the presi-
tically given up hope that the tariff
will be overhauled during the present
session or that practical work will be
inaugurated between now and Novem-
ber of next year. But whether it would
be injudicious or wise to begin the
work before the presidential election
no fair-minded man can possibly object,
with reason, to congressional action
looking to the appointment Of COM
mission of experts who shall begin
their labors coincidentally with the
close of the campaign of 1908.
There is absolutely no good reason
why congress should refuse at this
lliu6 " COA5iuCA q PAebh VI AONAoiOAA ~
an expert commission. Thinkers of
both parties agree that the tariff is not
O. legitimate subject for political con-
troversy. OF course such men as Can
non and Foraker and Aldrich do not
agree with the rest of the nation in
this view, but such thinking on big
questions as they do is confined to the
political ruts out of which they never
move. BY thinkers we mean men who
can think while out of their beaten path
as well as when travelling safely within
it, and who at all times think with
mind unobscured by visions of coveted
goals.
The Herald hopes that Senator Bev-
eridge will not 'lie down on his job
1t hopes that he will have the courage
to keep hammering away on the hard
heads OF his most obdurate confreres
until they awaken to the necessity of
action in this direction, If for no other
reason than the supremely selfish and
cowardly one that the welfare Of their
party demands it. Even so sluggish and
mentally slovenly body as the United
States senate may respond to the call
of the people, in time, if it can be
induced to believe that instead of shout
ing banzais the people are chanting the
first strains of Marsellaise.

It is more profitable to be killed than
to break leg, IL one happens to live
or die in New York state. In the
supreme court Of that state on the same
day a jury awarded $500 damages to a
man whose son had been killed in a
runaway accident, and in anothef case
gave a verdict of $4,000 to boy who
had lost leg through being run over

Cans
Tips
None
Fails to Urge Negroes
To Back Him Against
Britt.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Straws show which way the wind
blows. and betting is a good Indication
Of the tips.
This has always been especially true
Of fights i'm which Joe Cans has been
engaged since ne became one of the big
Joads in the lightweight puddle. When
ever Cans thought he surely had a
mans measure he almost invariably cir
culated the good thing Tar and wide
among his negro friends, although white
folk were often ignorant of what was
doing So well is this trick OF his un-
derstood among those familiar with the
Baltimore boxers career that they are
always anxious to find how The negroes
are betting In some cases the infoT-
nation was no. so easy to obtain, as
the colored brothers craftily placed the
bulk Of their coin through white cont
missioners.
Just before Cans fought Nelson in
Goldheld on Labor Day, 1906. this city
was full OF Cans money in the hands
Ct his negro admirers All you had to
do was % talk a little Nelson and flash
a wad. and YOU would be smothered
with a rush OF proffers To cover the
ron at juicy odds. Even after the hght
had begun a white man who liked Mel
son could bet his head of on PennsyI-
vania avenue and stiH leave the odds
unaffected. 1t was q long scrap, but
the Afro-American contingent cashed to
man-and most of them had taken the
view that the fight would be more
lengthy than was generally predicted
by the newspaper experts.
Little Cans Money Here Now.
For the Cans Britt affair there seems
TO he nothing doing. Betting in Wash
inston is practically at a standstiH. and
the negroes are keeping very quiet
Cans appears TO have either forgotten
his washington friends or feels down
In his heart that If he beats Britt he,
will be extremely lucky. and has not
buoyed them with kilograms and letters
urging them TO put the family jewels on
his chances.
At Gray's saloon where before the
Goldheld engagement the tips were al
irving at the rate OF about two a day for
Two weeks before the clash, nothing has
been received from Cans this time but
postal depicting the two pugs gazing
longlngly az a sack of lucre, beneath
which is the caption. Two souls with

There is one thing 20 remember: The
Goldfeld fight seemed 10 take all the
fight out OF Nelson. leaving him easy

iar at GOldneld as Nelson and while
he did not receive as much punishment
as the Dane, he was getting some IN

From this it might be urged that il
