DR.. Charles McCutcheon of Tacoma
has long felt that the woods of the
Puget sound district are too silent and
need the joyous songs of birds to en-
hance their beauty. A year ago he
bought a number of skylarks in Eng
land and liberated them in Washing
ton. They have thrived and multiplied,
much to the pleasure of everyone, and
now he is going to make a similar ex-
pertinent with other kinds of birds.
1t is good work and one which de-
serves to be crowned with success.

Wouldn't Il Be Retter2

The constitution of the United
States wisely provides that all meas
ures for the raising of revenue shall
tives. This is because the house of
representatives is supposed to be
closer to the people than any other
body Almost without exception our
experience has shown that when mat
ters like this are left to the state de-
partment the United States gets the
worst of it. Wouldn't it be better to
adhere strictly to the spirit as well as
to the letter of the constitution and
let congress pass on all these mat
ters? Cedar Rapids Republican.

WILL FIGHT A COMBINE
TRUST THAT CONTROLS FOOD
PRICES is TO BE ATTACKED.
Department of Justice Promises Aid in
Campaign Against Wholesale
Dealers in Food Products.

Pittsburg, Pa. - A gigantic at
tack upon alleged illegal dealings
of wholesale produce associations,
firms and agencies throughout the
United States by aid of the legal ma
chinery of the department of justice
is being planned by the retail pro-
duce dealers of Pittsburg who are
associated in the suit of w. II. Arbour
in the prosecution of the Pittsburg
Produce Trade association. This
step was decided upon at meeting
of the Arbour fund associates and was
inspired by a letter written to Attor-
ney A. E. Anderson, counsel for the
retailers, by Attorney General Charles
J. Bonaparte.
The present bill in equity now pend
ing in the United States circuit court
is to be amended so as to make de-
PENDANTS of every produce association,
firm or agency known or alleged to
be connected with the Pittsburg Pro-
duce Trade association.
By thus giving the suit national
scope 1t will be far easier to secure
the cooperation of the department OF
justice in prosecuting every alleged
violator of the Sherman antitrust
law.
1t is charged by the local suitors
that the firms connected with the
Pittsburg Produce Trade association
atd in raising the prices of foodstuffs
in this city and assist in what is said
to be a conspiracy to control the sup
ply and demand for all produce, thus
permitting trust operations to be
made rampant and to allow the prices
to he raised at will, regardless of the
crop conditions.

Ethical Code of Electrical Engineers.

Ethical Code of Electrical Engineers.
One of the most gratifying incidents
of the present era of ethical awaken
ing in America was the recent agita-
ton in favor of the adoption of an
ethical code by the Institute of Elec-
trical Engineers. 1t is true that at the
recent annual meeting at Niagara the
carefully prepared code, upon which a
competent committee had unanimous
ly agreed, met with delay on mere
grounds of technical procedure. The
postponement of consideration by no
means, however, implies rejection of
the measure, says Century Magazine
and the present authorities of the in
stitute will doubtless carry the matter
forward with all constitutional dis
patch, for no member of this honora-
bic profession, a profession yearly in
creasing in responsibility and impor-
tance, would be willing to go on record
as permanently opposing so desirable
a reform, and one which the press of
the country has hailed with such cor
dial and significant approval

TARIFF AND WAGES
HOW TIE VOLUME AND REWARDS
OF LABOR ARE AFFECTED.
Convincing Reasons Why the Man
Who Works for Wages Must lnvari-
ably Fare Better Under Protective
Tariff Than Under Free Trade Con-
ditions.

In the Labor World, August II, of
Newark and Jersey City, appears a
dignified, fair and truthful editorial,
entitled The Reason Why" which
answers the question:
why should the man who works
for wages be in favor of a protective
tariff"
1t is an important question and one
we'll worthy of the attention given to
it by the Labor World. Printed in a
newspaper which so ably represents
the views and interests of many thou
sands of New Jersey wage earners,
the article should and doubtless will
have a wide reading. 1t is a healthy,
wholesome sign when labor journals
of this class take up the question of
the true relation of a protective tariff
to work and wages. The Labor
Worlds exposition is clear and con
vincing. No fair-minded and intelli-
gent man can successfully confute its
conclusion:
Low tariff always means low prices
for labor'5 products and low wages
for labor. A protective tariff always
means good prices for what labor pro-
duces and high wages for labor.
This is why the man who works for
wages should always be in favor OF a
protective tariff"

What Caused the Hard Times.

The Lewiston Sun solemnly de-
clares that it was not the tariff but
currency that caused the hard times
of 1888" The year 1893 was a pc
riod of apprehension and consequent
depression among business men who
were not disg,tsed to take chances
in the face uf the declared intentions
OF a new Democratic administration
controlling both branches of congress,
and outspoken in it's hostility to the
long established policy of protection.
Panic conditions, however, and uni
versal hard times did not come until
the latter Part of 1894, following the
passage of the infamous free trade
Wilson bill, which closed our mills
and factories all over the land by put
ting them into competition with the
mills of Europe operated by cheap
labor. These hard times continued,
getting worse and worse until after
the passage of the Dingley law, since
when the country has enjoyed an era
of uninterrupted and unexampled
sperity.-August Journal.

Has Been Buncoed.

Senator Allison, of Iowa, has no illu
sions concerning the scheme of revis
ing the tariff through reciprocity. He
says: THE danger of attempting to
fix tariff rates by means of individual
treaties negotiated by the president
and approved by the senate lies in the
fact that 1t involves the raising OF
revenue without the consent OF the
house of representatives, whereas the
house is specifically given by the con.
stitution the exclusive right to orig
mate all revenue measures. 1t is a
bad thing to split up the two houses of
congress and set them at odds, with
the president necessarily siding with
one Of them. That is inevitable when
a treaty is negotiated which seeks to
change the duties fixed by both houses
of congress. 1t gives to the president
legislative functions he was not in.
one branch of congress which the con-
stitution intended to have all the pow.
er of initiative over revenues 1t is
on the grounds stated by the senator
that the constitutionality of the Jug
handled German reciprocity just nego.
tiated by the president and Secretary
Root is to be tested in the courts.
There is not the shadow of a doubt
that this country has been buncoed
in this treaty.-Bay City Tribune.

BARNEY JOY
Is DRAFTED

Barney Joy has been stung. The
Boston National League Club. did the
singing. This club sent in a draft FOR
the crack Honolulu twirler, and the
National Commission awarded popular
Barney to it. By not selling Joy the
local club lost a nice bunch of money,
for Jack Huston had his pocket full of
dough when he was here and anxious
to do business with Danny Long. Hus-
ton, who represented John McCloskey.
was prepared to pungle up $4,000 for Joy
and was displeased when advised that
there was nothing doing at any price.
The San Francisco Club decided to taxa
the chance of not losing Barney by
draft. 1t figured that only one player
could be gobbled, and it took the
chance that that player might not be
Barney. Luck was against San Fran
cisco, and Barney must graduate to the
major league next year, though Long
might possibly make some sort of
deal whereby he could hold his crack
pitcher another seasons. F. Bulletin.

JOE THOMAS
GETS BEATING

Stanley Ketchel, as rugged as the
rock-bound hills of his native state.
Montana, defeated Joe Thomas deci-
sively in the thirty-second round OF
their fight yesterday in the arena across
the line in San Mateo County. Such
gameness on the part of both boxers
in the face Of the severest punishment
and such ring generalship in an effort
to obtain a lead over an opponent have
seldom been seen In any Queensberry
contest. Round after round the boxers
struggled for the mastery and neither
could obtain a decided advantage over
the other. From the start, however.
it looked bad for Thomas, as the other
man proved to be q hard hitter with
both right and left. and the Californian
showed q wholesome respect for his
blows at all times. This reduced tha
effectiveness OF Thomas, as he did not
throw the weight Of his body into his
punches and they lacked the force nee
essary to stop q man like Ketchel, who
seemed as tough as whaleoone which
would bend but would not break.
Every instant Of the two hours the
struggle lasted was full of exciting in
cident, with virtually three climaxes.
The first Of these came in the sixteenth
round, when Thomas was knocked
down and took the count of six seconds.
Ketchel virtually had the fight won
sneu and there, but he was not aole
to follow I'D his advantage and Thomas
was permitted to recuperate.-S. +.

SCHRECK BEATEN
IN POOR FIGHT

AL Kaufman, the California heavy
weight boxer, took step last night
that could hardly be dignifed by the
title of giant stride toward the
world s championship. He stopped
Mike Sehreck early in the seventh
round ola fight that was notable
chiefly for the lack of class shown by
both boxers. It was question which
was the poorer fighter, but when it came
to a question of gameness Kaufman
was the more abundantly endowed.
Picture to yourself the artistic Dutch
windmills in Golden Gate park. moved
closely together and then the giant
arms placed in motion. This would be
a fair reproduction of the efforts OF
the two boxers, who presented heroic
appearance in the ring before the ac-
ton was begun.
There never was time when Schreck
seemed to have chance with Kauf-
man, and the wonder is what quality
carried him through the many battles
in which he has engaged during the
last seven years. The spectators were
looking for the end of the contest in
the fifth round, but Schreck weathered
the storm, and then it seemed he would
surely 90 out in the next round He
was able to pass this danger point and
then decided that discretion was the
better part of valor.
Kaufman saw his advantage and
commenced to press Schreck about the
ring. He was jabbing with his left
and brought his right over to the
body. After one of these blows, which
did not carry with it the power of
knockout, Schreck sank slowly to his
knees and clutched conyulsively at his
groin.
The spectators would not accept his
mute claim of foul and the whole
house was in an uproar, urging Schreck
to go ON and fight. His manager,
Billy Hogan, stood in his corner and
pleaded for the boxer to arise. Referee
Billy Roche shook his head when
Schreck looked appealingly at him. All
this time George Harting, the official
time keeper. was tolling off the sec
onds which spelled "defeat" for the
giant from Cincinnati.
Apparently Schreek knew when he
had reached the limit of his powers
of endurance and nothing could induce
him to regain his feet and continue the
battle. When Schreck was officially
declared out Referee Roche pointed to
Kaufman as the winner and Schreck s
seconds carried him to his corner. The
club physician examined him before he
left the ring and said there Were no
evidences of a foul blow having been
received. The spectators were unchar-
liable enough to say that Schreck
" logged - it badly and that he showed
pitiable lack of courage under the hot
fire of his opponents. F. Call, August

SQUIRES GETS
SECOND FIGHT

Bill Sduires, the Australian heavy
weight boxer, is to have another
chance to redeem his reputation as a
fighter. He signed articles at Cor
belts yesterday to meet Jack CTwin)
Sullivan of Boston in Manager Jim
Coffroth's arena on the Mission road
on the afternoon of Saturday, Septeni-
Der %. The bout is to go twenty-five
rounds and Billy Roche has been
agreed upon as the referee.
This Is expected to be an attractive
match. Sullivan is essentially a boxer
and will bring out whatever qualities
the Australian may have and was I'M
able to show when he Wet Tommy
Burns. Squires wanted to bet Sullivan
$1,000, but the later said he did not
make a practise of betting.
Sullivan has never appeared in the
ring in this city, although he has been
a. frequent visitor to second his broth
er, Mike. He has appeared several
times in Los Angeles and earned
decision over Tommy Burns there two
years ago. He also has a decision
over Mike Schreck to his credit. This
latter IS not such boost just now as
# might have been some days ago.
AT that it IS better than a defeat at
the hands of the Cincinnati brewer.
> Squires will take up active training
at once at Shannon's, near San Rafael,
while Sullivan will try TO engage ac-
connodations at Croll's in Alameda.
Squires will pay more heed to Amer
lean methods Of training this time and
expects to have no excuses to offer
when the affair Is overs. Z. Can.

GREAT INTEREST
IN GOLF PLAY
Dr.. High Has Good Chance to
Carry Away Honors as
Champion.

The golf championships, which take
place next Sunday, are creating a
great deal of interest among those who
follow the Scottish game. The sixteen
who qualified for the final round last
Sunday are spending all their spare
time at practise and should be in fine
shape for the final round.
Austin White carried off the honors
last Sunday with the good score of
lie and may be figured on as one of
the most dangerous competitors in
case he has another good day. His
father, E. O. White, is always steady
and will figure among the first four
or five TO a certainty and may be
seen as the champion. DR.. High has
got back into his old style again and
has as good a chances as anyone in
the final round. For some time he has
been off his game but has rounded into
form once more and should he high in
the list as well as in name.
Charlie Hartwen is one of the best
players in the club and it would not
surprise anyone to see him take a
good position in the championships.
He can always be relied on to stand
well UP in any sort of company on
the links. Frank Armstrong is anoth-
er dangerous competitor and will be
closely watched when the play starts
off at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
The Country Club win probably have
the largest crowd which has been
present at any tournament in golf cir
cles in this city, to witness the
matches. The play will commence at
10 o'clock in the morning and will con-
tinue till the first eighteen holes have
been played An intermission will
then be taken for lunch and the play
in the second round of eighteen holes
will start at p m.
