FORAKER ON TARIFF REVISION.
Ohio Senator Has Comprehensive
Grasp Of Situation.

In his speech of July 10 at Miamis-
burg, Senator Foraker occupied a
plane of high intelligence and sound
common sense when he said, in refer
ence to the proposed revision of the
tariff:
1T might be that a more satisfac.
tory tariff law would be made than
that which We now have, but l doubt
1t. 1t may be that our general situa-
ton would be improved, but do not
see how it is possible. With respect
to such procedure only one thing is
certain, and that is that we would
have a period of suspense, of doubt
and of uncertainty, that would work
more or less serious interruption to
business
That is the view entertained by the
best business minds of the country.
Those who have watched the making
and the unmaking of tariffs know from
experience what the process involves
in the shape of prolonged discussion
and attempts to harmonic conflict
ing views. Senator Foraker knows
this, for he has had much to do with
tariff legislation in the past 20
years. He realizes the wisdom Of
the remark of the late Thomas
B. Reed that it Is very easy to
revise a tariff-in your mind, but far
from easy when it comes to a final
legislative procedure. Mr.. Foraker is
right in demanding that those who
clamor for change shall show that
they know what they are clamoring
for:
IL want some man who is clamoring
for an immediate revision to tell me
be endured; what duties are to be
changed and what Improvement in the
situation is to follow. Let us have
bill of particulars"
No man among the many who have
spoken and written for immediate tar
if disturbance has answered any Of
these questions. No man has yet fur
nished a bill of particulars. AS Mr..
Foraker so forcibly puts it, no one
has asked the farmers whether and in
what way they want the duties
changed. No one has asked this
question of the sugar growers, the to-
bacco growers, the rice growers, the
mill owners, the pottery men, the glass
men and those whom they employ.
| Ten million voters who work on
| farms and in factories have not been
asked to state wherein the present
tariff is working badly and ought to be
| changed.
Senator Foraker's plea is for a
| square deal in this matter of tariff re-
vision. He wants to know what is
| intended and for what reason. He
does not want to go blindfolded into
the business of tariff disturbance. He
does not want the tariff ripped up ION
| general principles. That is the at
titude of conservative men in bust
ness and in politics. They want to
be shown. 1t is the attitude of all
'stand-patters They want to know
what the great gains are to be that
shall overbalance the absolutely Ger
tain losses through uncertainty, alarm
say that the tariff should never be
revised, but they do insist that the
need for revision has not been made
apparent and that the time for revi
sion has not yet arrived. Their pc
sition would seem to be natural, rea
sonable, logical.

Keep a square of table oilcloth TO

Endeavor to have all the threads and
rawlings from ripping fall on the
rug, so that all the litter may be re-

especially convenient where one has
to do the sewing in the living room.

ShsIIed Beans.

Soak and cook as usual kidney or
cranberry beans. When tender, pour
off the water, add sour cream to
thoroughly moisten and simmer half
an hour The alkali in the beans re-
moves the acid taste from the cream
and the resulting combination is par
ticularly good.

sALINA CASE IS APPEALED.
School District Row Reaches the
Supreme Court.

The case of the state ex rel Charles
w Burch. versus William Gardner,
Thos. Irwin and Howard Burke, from
Saline county. was appealed today TO
the Kansas supreme court. The appeal
is taken by the three men who were
defendants in the count below, and who
constitute the board of directors of
Union school district No. 1, composed of
districts in Saline and Ottawa counties.
The controversy is in regard TO the
legality Of the proceedings by which
school districts :, s and 81 voted to form
q union district. Districts IL and 81,
who were also in the deal originally,
voted the proposition down. and are
therefore not mixed up in the present
case. The contention is that a majority
of the legal votes of the various dis
tricts did not vote in favor of the con-
solidation project. The union district.
however. was duly organized, with the
above named three men for directors.
Then the proceedings to undo the work
were commenced by County Attorney
Burch and in the lower court, before
Judge r. r. Rees, the contentious of
the county attorney were sustained

RAILROADS WIN.
Two Cent Fare Law Is Declared
to Be Unconstitutional
BY the Common Pleas Court OF
Pennsylvania.
STATE WILL APPEAL.
The Case Will Be Carried to the
Supreme Court.
All the Roads of the State Have
Instituted Similar Suits.

Philadelphia. Sept. 1O.-Judges
Wilson and Audenreid. of the COM
mon pleas court this afternoon, de-
clared unconstitutional the two cent
railroad fare law passed by the last
legislature. The case upon which the
decision was made, will be at once
taken to the state supreme court. The
two cent law was enacted by the leg
islature as the result of agitation dur
ing the last political campaign all
parties pledging themselves In favor
of such legislation. The railroads led
by the Pennsylvania and Reading
made a strong fight against the enact
ment, but both branches of the legis-
lature passed the bill with practical
unanirnity. The act was TO go into
effect October /
The Pennsylvania was the first to
attack its validity. bringing a suit in
the local courts TO restrain the county
of Philadelphia from collecting fines
for violation Of its provisions. The
hearing lasted nearly a week, and
among the witnesses were President
McCrea and several of the vice presi-
dents of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The contention of the company was
that the law was not constitutional,
and the two cent rate was fixed with
out any investigation on the part of
the legislature as TO whether the rail-
roads could make a fair profit under
the law, which the company asserts it
can not do. All other railroads Oper-
ating in Pennsylvania have also
brought similar proceedings in va
rious counties of the state. but no de-
cisfons have been rendered, as it is
will be made the test case in the high
e. courts
