A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
4 well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Relig-
ious Press Of the Country and others,
including ourselves. Also regarding
suits for libel brought by Colliur's
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage In
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the Boo
Hoo Baby" as the ''YelI-Oh Mans
succcssor?"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
ller's has finally run against a solid
hickory Post and been damaged in
It's own estimation to the tune of
$750,000.00.'
Here is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard Of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and has
suffered those false statements to go
uncontradicted, until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into a fresh field and butts its rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back a dose of it's own medicine"
1T Is a mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh m from
Golfers, but 1t cries and boo hoos like
a spanked baby and wants $T50,000.OO
to soothe It's tender, lacerated feelings"
THANK Heaven it has at last struck
a man with back bone" enough to call
a spade a spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor
Perhaps Golfers with it's utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in our Office and is only one Of
a mass of letters and other data. news
paper comments, etc, denouncing the
"yellow" methods OF Golfers. This
volume is so large that a man could
not well go thru it under half a days
steady work. The letters come from
various parts Of America.
Usually a private controversy is not
interesting to the public. but this is "a
public controversy.
Golfers has been using the "yel-
low" methods to attract attention to
itself, but, jumping in the air, crack
ing heels together and yelling Look
at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started
out on q "Holier Than Thou" attack
on the Religious Press and ON medi-
cines.
We leave 1t to the public now, as we
did when we first resented Golfers at
tacks, to say whether, In a craving for
sensation and circulation, its attacks
do not amount 10 a systematic MERGE
nary bounding. We likewise leave 1t
to the public to say whether Golfers

Windsor Trust Co., had known Laura

hours altogether when he gave her
$4,000, according to his testimony
Thursday at the trial of Mrs. Carter.
Mrs. Carter is charged with having
received money which she knew to
have been stolen. Runyan, the de-
faulter was the principal witness
against her.
Although he had previously testified
that she had suggested to him that he
get all the money he could from the
trust company, he admitted under
crosseXamination that he had COM
mitted several forgeries in April and
May. This was before he met Mrs.
Carter and he said she did not suggest
them to him.

Witnesses of the accident say that
as the machine approached the trolley
tracks it was seen by the motorman.
According to them the motorman
made signal and DR.. Waldron slowed
up Then, apparently thinking that
he could cross before the car reached

that the automobile did not respond

AN OFFER TO MEDIATE
IT Is MADE TO FIVE CENTRAL
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
the Little Nations to Hold Q
Peace Conference.

Washington, d. C. - President
Roosevelt and President Diaz stimuli
taneously have telegraphed notes to
the presidents of the five republics of
Central America offering the good Of
fees of the United States and Mexico
In bringing about a conference of the
republics for a discussion OF plans to
maintain peace. The announcement
that this action had been taken was
made Wednesday by Acting Secretary
Adee, of the state department. 1t
was stated also that the notes would
not be made public here until they
had been received by the Central
American states and probably not un-
til replies had been received. The ex-
act time OF sending the notes was not
made known, but it Is possible that re-
plies from some of the countries al
ready have reached Washington and
1t is believed that all will be here
within "a hours.
Mr.. Adee on Wednesday received
Minister Godoy, charge daffaires of
the Mexican embassy. and they con-
ferred concerning the steps taken
looking to the settlement of Central
American disputes and ending the al
most incessant warfare between the
republics. Neither would admit that
the Central American republics had
been invited 10 hold the conference at
Washington, but Ssnor Corea, the
Nicaraguan minister. is authority for
the statement that such an invitation
soon will be extended. In fact, he
telegraphed President Zelaya to that
effect.
In diplomatic circles here 1t is said
that none of the republics can afford
to decline to accept the proffers of
mediation made by the United States
and Mexico and that this means that
permanent peace practically is as
sured.

IN CONFLICT WITH LAW.
Strong Proof That German Tariff
Agreement Is Illegal.

Illegality is the strongest count In
the Indictment framed in the protest
of the American Protective Tariff
league against the German tariff agree
ment Authority is not lacking in
support of the contention that the
export price provision of that agree
ment is in direct conflict with law of
congress which points out the pro-
cedure by which the basis of dutiable
value must be ascertained. Actual
market value in the country from
whence the goods are exported Is the
basis established by congress; not an
export price" nor the value named
by local chamber of commerce.
II the American Economist is print
ed in full the decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals, rem
dcred March 26, 1907, in which the
court holds, after quoting section 10,
of the customs administrative act,
that the duty of the collector is plain;
he must assess tariff duties upon the
ascertained actual market value in
the country from whence the mer-
chandise was exported. Says the
court:
THE rule thus fixed by statute is
plain and simple, binding alike on i'm
porter and collector. Neither may
vary nor evade it. Neither may appeal
to other criteria of value"
Referring again to the binding force
of the law enacted by congress, the
court said:
by the express command of the
statute the collector was prohibited
from considering anything but the
actual market value of the wool in
the principal markets of Turkey.
Having ascertained that value, he
should have levied duty accordingly.
Nothing could be palmer than this.
Not an export price" shaved down for
purposes of tariff evasion; not a valu-
alton named by a local chamber of
commerce composed of the men most
interested in tariff evasion; but "the
actual value of the merchandise as
bought and sold in usual wholesale
quantities is the rule fixed
by statute which neither a collector
of customs nor a secretary of state,
a secretary of the treasury, nor
president himself can set aside or dis
regard.
Under the decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals the
duty of congress is plain. Both houses
should, without regard to party lines,
unite in joint resolution demanding
the abrogation of tariff trade agree

Electric Aue.

Just as the nineteenth century was
the age of steel, the twentieth cen
tury, in it's beginning at least, is the
age of electricity, and electricity de-
mands copper in ever increasing guam
titles. For the last six decades of the
nineteenth century the production of
the leading metals increased at tho
rate of almost exactly six and one
half per cent, compounded yearly, but
in the last decade of the century cop
per left the other metals behind, and
for 10 years past the average ratio of
increase in copper production has
been eight per cent, compounded
yearly. This difference of only one
and half per cent, in the ratio of
yearly increase, may seem small, but
like the fable of the horses shoes, for
which the first nail brought a penny
and each nail thereafter was doubled
in price, the cumulative results are
surprising, and at the end of Is years
have run into hundreds of millions of
dollars. With electricity finding new
uses daily and with a rapid extension
of electric energy for power, traction
and many other employments, there is
small hope, declares Copper Hand
book, that the poor old world will be
able to curtail its copper bill to any
important extent, and every reason
years hence, will cost considerably
more than the worlds iron and steel
cost ten years ago.

The common custom of that part
of the world which calls itself civil
lied is to seclude it's choicest art prod
ucts in museums and galleries, where
they are seen only by the small pro-
portion of people willing to go out
of their way and to spend time and
money in visiting them. Japan and
some other countries, which, accord
ing to prevailing Anglo-Saxon ideas,
have not yet fully emerged from a
state of barbarism, have made art a
part of the common life, so that even
the humblest citizen is familiar with
beautiful handwork. 1t has occurred
to some leaders of thought in Den
mark that acquaintance with artistic
achievements should belong to the
general education, and to that end
a plan is being developed for display
ing the work of Danish railroad sta
tions. If the scheme materialiZes it
will be interesting to watch results.
At least the public will learn to know
what artists are doing, and if it is
really true that art, hung on the walls,
is educative and uplifting, then peo-
pie will derive benefit they do not
get from museums

Berlin has recently been astonished

long done the errands of that city. At

trying all sorts of substitutes such
as Eilbuben (Hurry- -boys)-which
plainly does not apply; and Berliner

The tariff tinker ia one of the most
unique of modern freaks. In promot-
ing his favorite scheme for the un-
balancing of business equilibrium he
never sleeps. He is the fostering sore
and the intermittent fever that afflicts
struggling enterprises and he yields
only to heroic remedies.
1t is undoubtedly true that the tar
iff could never be adjusted to suit
everybody. Probably each and every
one of the 500 manufacturers who as.
sembled in New York recently could
suggest a tariff that would benefit
his particular business.
But how about the thousands OF
workingmen, manufacturers and mer-
chants whose interests would not be
considered in the revision?
No matter who demands free trade
or its substitute tariff revision"
there is no question that under pres
ent schedules the nation is enjoying
a period of greatest prosperity in its
history.
Why not leave we'll enough alone?

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Principal Points Executive VIII
Emphasize.

Persons who have talked to the
President recently are convinced
that his annual message will CON
tain a most earnest recommended
ton of legislation providing that
all corporations doing an inter
State business, and of given
magnitude, shall be required to
procure a Federal license, to be
issued only under restrictions as
to capitalization, methods Of doing
business, the control of given in
dustries and such other limita-
tons as may be deemed necessary
to the public safety and welfare.
With regard to railroads, an ex-
tension OF the powers OF the Inter-
State Commerce Commission to
include supervision of all stock
and bond issues will be asked, to-
gether with authority TO sanction
railway pooling arrangements, not
as to the division of profits, but as
to the maintenance of uniform
rates for like services.
An urgent recommendation will
further be made that the Sherman
antitrust law be so amended as to
prohibit only such combinations
in restraint of trade as may be
pronounced by the courts to be
unreasonable.
An urgent recommendation of
financial legislation will be pre-
sented. Provision will be asked
for emergency currency based on
assets and so taxed as to insare its
retirement as soon as the emer-
gency has passed.
! Other recommendations will in
clude graduated inheritance tax,
consideration of a Federal income
tax, the revision of the tariff on
imports from the Philippines, the
passage of a modified shipping
bill, the creation of postal savings
banks, the establishment of more
effective public health service than
now exists, the extension of the
parcels post, etc,

impression that he regards two

the currency, the second amend
ing the Sherman law as heretofore
indicated. Beyond this, it is as
serted, he is unwilling to go in
making forecast of the work of
the coming session, although he
sincerely hopes that the Philippine
tariff bill, left over from a year
ago, Will receive prompt and favor
able action, and that a modified
form of the shipping bill, which
passed both houses during the last
session, will also be written on the
statutes.
