CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
SUBJECT TO INVESTIGATION BY
SAN FRANCISCO JURY.


San Francisco. = Contributions to mn-
nicipal campaign funds Of 1905 were
Investigated BY the grand jury.
Louis Levy was questioned at length
to determine the source Of the fund
to defray the expense Of the public re-
ception given to Mayor Schnaitz in De-
cember, 1906, upon his return from Eu-
rope. Levy tested that $4,000 was
raised for that purpose, "each one con-
tributing about $25.
He said the money was collected by
George Burger, John McGlynn and Su-
pervisor Furry under the direction Of
the Metropolitan League, Schmitz po-
litical organization.

District Attorney Heney, "that these

GULrPORT MAKES RECORD.

The Gulfport harbor established DSw
record for lumber exports during the
month of March, the shipments AMOUNT
ing to 33,2s7 900 feet, board Measure,
valued at $761 1855.
The shipments for the Arst three
months of the present yep amount 20
1921, 900 feet, and if mis- average is
maintained during the remaining nine
months. the total lunber exports for
1907 will be approximately s6O,OOO,ooO
feet. Last year $ record was 293, 125, 900
feet, as compared with 207 614, 900 feet
for the previous year. It will thus be
seen that the business or the harA,or is
increasing at rate of about 80 par
cent per annum.
In reality Gulfport's export business
is limited only by the capacity of the
harbor and loading facilities. More YES
sells are applying for anchorage each
week than can find room in the basin.
During the month of March thirty-four
vessels cleared from the harbor, their
net registered tonnage in the aggregate
being 3S,130 tons. Five Of the number
carried cargoes of more than 100000
feet each, and twelve Of the number car
ried caroges considerably in excess OF
100000 feet. The vessels clearing were
Russian, British, German, American, Nor
wegian, Dutch and italian and the bulk
of the shipments went to South America
ports, with cody number of cargoes
to Havana, Colon, Hamburg and Rotter-
dam,
The harbor is now filled to the limit
with vessels taking on cargoes, and the
export trade is so heavy that it has been
necessary for the Ship Island road to
adopt stringent rules relative to requisi-
tions for cars to carry export shipments.
New rules regarding the unloading Of
cars on the pier have also been adopt.

PAVING OBSTACLES.

It is probable that the city Of Nat
chez will experience delay before street
paving is taken up. Contrary to gener.
al belief, the franchise Of the Street
Railway Company does not embody any
thing compelling the company to pave
the street within its tracks and for one
foot ON each side with the same material
used in paving the street over which the
cars are operated. Instead Of obligatina
the Company to ,repave the street the
franchise requires the street railway t.
"keep up and maintain said pavement
and street between the rails and for ].
space OF one foot on each side Of track. =

| Rockefeller and his ilk predict
la widespread and destructive
monetary, commercial and in
dustrial panic as the certain re-
suit of the Presidents persist
ent efforts to bring lawless or
Iporations under just and l. gal
irestraint. They assert and 1t is
true, there is no lack of confidence
| in the resources of the country,
no danger of foreign compllca-
Itions, no failure Of crops, no mis-
trust of our monetary policy and
nothing in. our social condition
making for such panic, but we
are nearing financial chaos"
Other men do not see the dang
er, and if they did would be un-
able to find the cause Of it. 1t
is reserved for the astute John
D. clearly and Enthusiastically to
discern the cause. 1t is nothing
"but lack of confidence in this
Administration"
Who lacks confidence in this
Administration? MIR. Rockefeller
would have us believe all the
wise, patriotic and trustworthy
men in the nation have no con-
fidence in the President He is
wrong, studiously wrong. Not
since the. days of Lincoln has
there been a president in whom
the mass of the people, in all
sections and of every condition
place such unbounded confidence
as they repose in Theodore
Roosevelt.
1t is quite possible Mr.. Rookie
feller and men of his stripe
might raise a financial hurricane.
They apparently would create
one if it would force the Ad-
ministration to stay it's hand, but
they could hardly create "finan-
cial chaos" If enforcing the
laws against predatory corpora
tions and trusts and in the inter-
ests of all the people will cause
such Chaos" better have it
come now, for the country was
never better prepared to endure
it.
The president does not shrink
from his duty. The laws will be
enforced.

TAFT AND TARIFF.

Free-traders and advocates Of
tariff for revenue only will find
no crumbs of comfort in Secre-
tary Taft's Columbus speech.
He declared himself unqualified
Iy in favor Of protection and ex-
pressed his decided conviction
that it is a great factor in our in
dustrial prosperity. He defined
what the minimum of protection
should be. Disclaiming expert
knowledge he declared that some
OF the schedules Of tariff law
enacted ten OF more years ago
doubtless needs revision, be-
cause commercial and industrial
conditions, both at home and
abroad had greatly changed
within that time. Some products
named in the schedules Of the
present trriff did not now have
enough while others had too
much protection. In support of
the need for tariff revision he
quoted freely from the report
of a committee, appointed by the
National Association of Manu-
facturers of the United States, to
examine into the necessity for it.
He then proceeded to show
that farmers as. we'll as manu-.
facturers are interested in main
tanning the system of protection.
He declares that the tariff will
be revised by republicans and
protectionists and gives reasons
for not attempting it sooner nor
delaying it beyond the Session of
congress following the next
presidential election. He would
have the next National Republi-
can convention pledge the party
to take up the work of revision
in that congress.
There was never any doubt
that Taft is a firm adherent to
the principle of protection. HeI
was known to favor tariff revis-
ion, but while not clamorous for
immediate revision, there was
some curiosity felt as to the time
he would have congress under
take the work. His utterance
not only satisfies this curiosity
but they will be satisfactory to
all republicans and protectionists. |
With the exception of a few men
republicans have not been oppos-
ed to revision. The loudest cry
for it has been from the oppon-
ents OF protection reinforced by |
those who hoped to turn public
thought from control of trusts
and corporations.
The views of Secretary Taft
are sound and practical and will
solidify the republican party on
the question of revision as we'll
as carry him we'll forward as an
acceptable successor Of Mr..
Roosevelt as chief executive of
tle nation.
