MAGDALENA BAY STATION.

il is stated in the Eastern press that
Secretary Root is about to visit Mexico
on a very important errand; this being
no less than the purchase (more likely
lease, as sale is forbidden by organic
law,) of the naval site of Magdalena
and Magdalena bay. This bay is com
pletely protected by outlying islands,
and is said to be the very best harbor
on the Pacific coast Of North America,
with the possible exceptions of San
Francisco and Dutch Harbor in Alaska.
The intimation goes with the story that
the lease Of the whole of the pen
insula OF Lower California may be in
cluded in the proposition, If to this
could be added the States Of Sonora
and Sinaloa, Mexico, we would then
have the complete control of the Gulf
of California with all its bays, inlets
and estuaries.
There can be no question of the I'M
portance Of the lease Of a deep wa
ter harbor like that of Magdalena bay
It is commodious; ample to hold double
the fleet that the United States is ever
likely to possess. The water is deep
almost to the shore line, and the Island
of Santa Margarita in that bay is
said to be one of the beauty spots of
the world. 1t commands the whole bay
and could be so fortified as to be alb
solutely impregnable.
The good wishes Of the whole country
will go with Secretary Root on this
mission. Whether the contemplated ac
quisition is Of that bay alone and the
islands sheltering and those contained
in it, or. whether it embraces the OBJ
tanning of the whole peninsula of Lower
California, the whole people of this
country will wish abundant success for
the Secretary s mission.
The United States has none too many
advantageous and commodious naval
stations on the Pacific. In fact, our
Pacific shore line has comparatively
few frst-class harbors, and the addition
of Magdalena bay would be most well
come on every account,

way that it pretends that it is going

The fact is that this protestatiou
that the church Is getting out of com

never goes out of any commercialism
that it can make pay. 1t is always
ready to enter into any new form OF
commercialism in which it can see Q

The fact of the business is that living expenses have so increased that people in ordinary circumstances have no money to de- posit, or to lend to the captains of industry The business man, the nary circumstances finds the cost of doing business so great that he has no money to deposit in the banks ex- cept upon immediate call.

 largely handicapped, for there is a general belief that prices along some lines must come down, especially on tariff protected and trust made goods. What we need in this country is re- duction In the tariff along certain lines and the leveling of prices to nat ural conditions. Then the people and the banks, and not the trusts and tar if barons, would have the money.

THE TARIFF

The receipts of the Federal gov ernment exceed it's eXpnditures ny nearly S90,000; the exact figures for the fiscal year ending June %. being SS7,0O0, 1000. That is the greatest surplus ever accumulated in the history of the country eX- cept in 1902 when it reached $91,- 2S7,275.
 That surplus is unnecessary tax ation wrung from the people of the States, under and iniquitious tariff system that robs consumers for the benefit of small group of tariff barons. A system that cannot be de- tended on any economic principle whatever, and which exists only be- cause those who make the law are the servants of these protected in terests. A recent treasury bulletin shows that the receipts during the past year were made up as follows: From customs $333,230,126 internal revenue s249.150,212; miscellan-

 Even so protectiona state as Pennsylvania is beginning to cry out it's alarm. The Pittsburg Post, for instance, declares that in view of the fact and also of the large sur plus of receipts over expenditures it is evident that, as far as the ne cessities of the government are con- cerned, there is no reason for main- taining the present high tariff du- ties. The people of this country were forced to pay very large DOT tion of the s333,230,126 collected for tariff duties last year. They were compelled also to pay much larger sum in the increased price of do- mestic articles caused by the impo- sition of these and other duties WHICH eudDleS our own lHdHuldCCur- CTS to charge what they please for their articles to American consumers while they sold them at much less price to foreign customers.
 No government has a right to take from it's people a single dollar more than is absolutely necessary to it's economical administration, and the methods of the "stand-patters" has but to be exposed to compel the con- demnation of the American people; and yet Mir.

The Fort Smith News-Record in chronicling the death of little Jennie Carnahan who died from hydropho bia caused from a dog bite, included therein the following episode, which has not heretofore been made pub lie:
 An incident that occurred during the trip of Mr. and Mrs Carnahan to New York which shows the small ness of the world and the great bond has been commented upon very ex- tensively.
 "On the afternoon that Mir. and Mrs Carnahan left for New York with their child, Col s. w. Fordyce, the well known railroad man passed through this city on a special car at tached to the Cannon Ball. Col. For dyce had meeting with Judge J. F. Read at the depot, during which Judge Read made mention of the child being bitten by the dog and the par ents being on their way to New York
 Later Col. Fordyc looked up Mr Carnahan and had quite conference with him in the smoking room of the Pullman. At the same time Col. For dyce offered the services of his broth CT. one of the leading specialists of New York, and added:
