raign upon the promise that after the
election the tariff will be revised, and
that the democrats do not question the
sincerity of this promise, bnt do doubt
the thoroughness of the proposed re-
vision. adds: 'sDn the very thres-
hold of the contest. however, we are
confronted with most singular par
adox. The only way to prevent .
revision of the tariff will be to elect
q democratic president and q demo-
cratic house Of representatives =
This paradox is explained by the fact
that the senate is not only republican
in it's majority at the present time,
but will continue to be republican be-
yond paradventure until 1919. Out
of the ninety members of the senate,
only thirty two are democrats, and
only political revolution Of the most
remarkable nature will materially in
crease this number during the next
four years.

velt is taking an active part in New

there is prevalent impression that
he would like seat in the United

In his Columbus address Secretary
Taft said, referring to the complaint
that the prosecution of the trusts
was demoralizing the stock market
and discouragiuP investment in cer-
tain forms of industry, IF the prose-
cution of dishonesty and illegal prac-
tices, like the giving and taking of
rebates and the destruction of compe-
tition by monopoly, is to injure the
market for stocks on the stock ex-
change, then this is a burden that
must be borne and must be charged,
not to the head of the nation. whose
duty it is to enforce the law, but to
the violators of the law, whose pur-
suit of criminal methods has been so
successful and reaching as to make
their prosecution a serious threat
against the stability of the market. -

Safe blowing has become a scien-
tific pursuit in learned and thorough
going Germany. A single robber in
Dresden and other cities, has shaken
the confidence of manufacturers of
safes in the security of their wares.
The details OF this burglars last oper.
alton are as follows: I'm a hotel q
room was secured which was situated
Immediately above the office of a
money changer. At night hole was
pierced in the ceiling of this Office.
BY the use of drill and saw a oirou-
lar piece of the flooring was easily
raised. Beneath lay thick layer OF
cement. A small orifice was made in
this and an umprella showed down in.
to the space below. The umbrella
was attached firmly from above, and
when opened received without noise
all the fragments of cement which
were dislodged as the hole was en-.
larged SO as to allow the easy passage
of person. BY means of a rope lad.
der the descent was easily made into
the office below. Curtains were
drawn, and with heavy blankets 8
tent was constructed around the safe,
so thich that 20 ray of light could
pass through. Next the robber brought
down two cylinders of compressed
oxygen and an acetylene generator
charged with calcium carbide and
water. With these he was able te
produce a blowpipe flame of such in
tensity that steel fuses in it like Lead
in an ordinary gas jet. 1t required
but brief space of time to melt away
so much of the door that all the con.
tents of the safe were accessible. They
were carried to the room above. Al
an early hour the robber left his lodg.
ings and disappeared without trace. -

1t is given out that the president
does not intend to raid all corpora
tions, but that 'his only policy and
sworn duty is to prosecute, with the
fullest yigor, the corporations and In
dividuals whose fragrant violations of
the law makes it necessary to do so. !"
But these are not exactly the presi-
dents own words. He has repeatedly
asserted that combinations Of capital
corporations-have become neces-
sary..to the conduct ,of business under
modern conditions, and the question
one would like to be treasured upon
is whether that is not equivalent to
saying that competition has had its
day and that combination-monopoly
in effect must now take its place.
The president insists only that the
big concerns must obey che law.

TOBACCO IN IRELAND.
Culture Prohibited by Law for Hun.
dred Years,

Lon1on Jan. S.-Mr. William Red
mond, VI. P, today presented to the
prime minister a huge petition de-
manding the repeal of the law prohib-
iting tobacco growing in Ireland. It
IS signed by every member of parlia-
ment in Ireland of every shade Of pol
tics and never before has there been
such unaniimity among the Irish
members.
The petition summarizes the situa-
ton as far as tobacco growing is con-
cerned 1t claims that the Irish are
merely asking for a privilege which
was theirs until deprived by ctatute
as late as the reign of George III.
when the growing of tobacco in the
country was a prosperous and pro-
gressive industry. Success had been
achieved and further development as
cured without the slightest considera-
tion Of the injury inflicted in Ire
land.
: tbn petition winds up with re-
peal ot the unjust prohibition and
points out that the people of Ireland
are of one mind on the subject, Tbt
prime minister promised TO give the
matter his attention and It is probable
that the matter will be mentioned in
the house Of commons in a few days

WaShingtonLetter

Washingno. D. c., Jan. S.-Com-
missioner General Sargent has Just
returned from Honolulu, and gives it
as his opinion that the new tide of
immigration in the Hawaiian islands
will do more than all else TO hold the
islands to the United States.
Grave fears have been expressed
that the preponderance of japanese
there might cause trouble I'm case war
should ever come between the United
States and Japan, but the recent ar
rival of thousand or more first-class
Portuguese immigrants, the commits
sioner regards as the opening by which
the labor ranks in the islands will be
recruited by a desirable class of c'ti-
gems who will always beloyal to the
government.
The commissioner is enthusiastic
over the prospects of the islands, and
predicts a great future for them. Gil
mate, soil and almost everything else
is in their favor, and all the material
resources are being rapidly developed.
Mr.. Sargent has been a close student
of the immigration problem, and does
not hesitate to say that those immi-
grants admitted at Charleston a
couple of months ago, and those just
admitted at Honolulu, taken as a
whole, are the best that has entered
the United States during his term of
office.
He says the labor problem in the
south, as well as in the Hawaiis, has
| been very grave one. Both sections
were developing much faster than
good labor could be secured. In both
sections the race question was a fac
tor, and in one was the added danger
of the predominance of a foreign and
antagonistic element. Both factors
he thinks, are now in the way of be-
ing eliminated, or at least reegated
to an unimportant position.
Under the new impetus given by the
arrivals at Charleston, he thinks the
south will, within the next half decade
make greater strides than in any 10
years since the close of the war.

from destruction lands, which, if irri-
gated, would be worth from $3.50, 0oO,-

he says, the homes Of from 5000 to
10, 900 people who are now living in
the threatened areas in Arizona and

the land endangered by the rivers
break is fertile as the Nile Valley
and that each acre could at conserva-
tive estimate be made to produce $loo
