law Is accomplished II the reported
concessions are carried out. Congress
has explicitly laid down certain rules
for the ascertainment OF the values Of

aside these rules so that German OK

pressing need of the hour was. under
the circumstances, of questionable
propriety. 1t was not what a good
protectionist would have done
That Col. Barbour in his etter to
the Call has voiced the general view
or protectionists we think is beyond
question. His rank in the world of
industry. finance and business, to-
gether with his official relation to-
ward the American Protective Tarif
league and his many years Of con-
spicuous Identification with Repub-
lican politics in New Jersey, combine
to give his declaration more than or
binary significance. II is we'll that
Secretary Taft's early and frank avow-
al OF his presidential aspirations
should be met by an equally early and
frank avowal that il he is to stand
well with protectionists he must de-
clare himself protectionist in terms
OF unmistakable certainty. The next
nominee of the Republican party for
president of the United States is go
ing TO be protectionist. Current de-
velopments along the line of conces-
sions and relaxations all point that
way. A rebound back to sane and
consistent protectionism is certain to
occur. and il will be due in 1908.

WHOLE IDEA is WRONG.
State Department Errs in Effort to
Revise Tariff.

When even Democratic newspapers
deprecate invasions across the border
line which separates the respective
powers and functions OF the legisla-
tive and executive branches of our
government, the situation takes on a
serious aspect. The new York Amer
lean has no love for the protective
tariff system. but 1t gravely questions
whether that system can or ought to
be changed by an edict of the secre-
tary of state without the concurrence
OF congress. In a we'll consid cred and
ably written editorial In the American
OF May the conclusion is reached
that
This method of dealing with a
matter of national magnitude is wrong
and dangerous. 1t threatens disturb
ance to our whole foreign trade
This presupposes the truth of the
reports that in the new dicker with
Germany the spirit and intention of
the Dingley tariff law have been sub
verified to an extent that will revolu-
tionize customs methods of appraise-
ment and collection. Unfortunately
the supposition turns out to be cor
rect Our gifted state department
has for the time being taken over the
authority to revise the tariff schcd-
ules downward.

NEW COATS ARE PICTURESQUE
All Varieties of Models Are Worn by
Fashion Leaders.

We have for some years past been
accustomins ourselves to gorgeous
and picturesque evening cloaks, but
now art and luxury have been called
into play in wraps for all purposes,
and, though the severe and conserya-
tive coat still has its time and place.
there are few times and places for
which woman can not secure pic
ture coat.
Cape models are increasingly popu-
lar, but an amazing amount of variety
is obtained in these lines through clev-
er drapery for sleeve purposes. Many
OF the capes hang straight and long
In front and back, but are so cut that
they may be caught up in deep plaits
to elbow length at each y,de in order
to allow play to the arms.
