Sir,---l wish to confirm what the
writer Of al article In your sunday

morning annoyance and discomfort
caused by tic negro newsboys or RICH
nlond. The, nuisance exists in many
sections of the city, but is especially
felt ii, Madison Ward, There. for Mt
least two hours. beginning anywhere
from to $50, tile air Is rent with
piercing ycls Sometimes the boya
come In groups. each striving To out
yell tho others. and sometimes they
pause IN one place several nlinutu,,
Keeping up continual din or cries
il reprovhd. they answer with impu-
dent words and scowls and shout nll
tho louder.
The residents OF this section are, for
the most part, working men and wo-
nlen. some Of them leaving their places
of business late Mt night, to whom
sunday inornin. affords their only OPP
portunity for the rest and relaxation
they greatly need. TO them tile carly
disturbance Is Injurious and almost
un bearable.
These boys are not tho regular car
riers; therefore, the mana cement OF
the popular paper Is not responsible
for the trouble; but the weight Of its
Influence Will go far toward correcting
this evil and restoring the calm and
quiet OF the early Sabbath hours.

Kentucky Now.
The Republican National Committee,
under the control of Taft by the use
hi proxies. has set its seal of approval
upon the rottenness of the Fifth Dis
trct primary.
On the night of that discredi,ablc
event there were Fairbanks men who
cried that Taft would repudiate the
conduct of his agents when he learned
about the carnival of fraud in which
they had engaged. These men be-
lieved in the honesty and masnanim-
sity OF Taft We believed in him.
Events must now speak for themselves
as to the soundness of the basis upon
which rested our faith.
Secretary Taft has not been fair to
this State. He wants its support in
November; his managers are count
ing upon its electoral vote to aid in
his victory: but he has deliberately
mony to the divided ranks. Tle asks
us to carry the burden OF actions that
cannot be defended and thus handi-
capped to win against foe of for-
midable strength in a State where
Republicanism Is on trial
There is but one cry that can hold
Kentucky now. The name, of Taft
has lost its charm II we are to win
ii must be in the name Of the party,
which lis greater than its leaders.
Along this line We are prepared to
fl fight with 3, hope Of victory For the
publicans to rally to its cause A
vote for the Chicago ticket can be
cast as a vote for the Chicago plat
form, which, despite the merits or de-
merits OF its representatives, will en-
body the principles that have made
factor in the building OF this great

THE RALLY OF THE sThNDPaT-
TFks.

The expected is happening at Chi
cago. The standpatters, under the
leadership of Mr.. Charles A. Moore.
president OF tie Tariff League, de-
clare that IL the tariff is revised at all
ii must be revised upwards, that the
Dingley wall must be made yet higher.
MIR. Moore bases his argument upon
the ancient and somewhat threadbsre
plea for the laboring man, ana upon
tie claim that reduction OF the tariff
means a decrease Of the revenue and
that we are already facing deficit.
As a matter Of fact. in many direc-
lions 4 decrease OF the tariff would
mean an increase of revenue, because
.aany OF the present So. ules are pro-
bibitive and produce no revenue at all.
The Dingley bill was less revenue
measure than protective law, and
the more protection the less revenue.
Mr.. Dingley purposely made many
OF his schedules prohibitory in order to
furnish weapon with which to secure
satisfactory reciprocity from foreign
p
! rejected every reciprocity treaty
introduced in that body. Hence,
though many of the Dingley schedules
are ideally protective because prohi-
bitive, they produce no revenue what
ever.
70 raise almost any Of the Dingley
schedules would mean decrease of
revenue, because the wall is already
so high that foreign products get over
with difficulty and some no at all.
The administration plan OF revision
seems to contemplate a scale sliding be
tween maximum and minimum, the
power OF fixing the rate between the
highest and lowest figure to be vested
in the President This plan would in
effect vest in the President the power
of taxation, power only limited by
the maximum and minimum fixed by
the statute 1t would be qualified
abdicatlon by Congress of The power
and duty of legislation and would to
an enormous extent magnify the power
OF the executive because il would make
the commerce of the country a play
thing OF the President.
We do not believe that the Repub-
1ican party can inaugurate any real
reform OF the tariff, and we do not
believe that the great majority OF the
responsible Republican leaders want
any reform
:. MI. Moore's idea prevails the Re
publican party Will simply declare in
its platform policy which has always
guided its practical dealings with the
subject If the Presidents idea pre-
walls an enormous and unconstitu-
tional power will be thrust into the
already TOO powerful hands of the
Federal executive.
Either plan proposed At Chicago viii

ORANGE TREES ron NORTH.
Possibility That Oranges May Flour
ish In XtrEiniN.

lAn IN tlrElnlu.
Botanists in the employ of the
United states Department of Agricul.
ture hope to bring into being an
orange tree which will be as sturdy
as the apple tree; an orange tree that
will not perish in the chill northern
winter, which In December Will bear
Its wreaths of snow and in May t.
garlands Of bloom. aud when summer
comes Will yield fruit as good as that
sWeetened in the South sun.
This may seem to be an unnatural
proposition, but 1t only seems SO. No
Violence upon the laws Of nature has
been or will be attempted. 1t is simply
an effort to make the citrus tree, which
bears the sweet table orange. rs
hardy and insensitive to cold as the
citrus tree which bears the bitter, un-
edible orange. BY crossing citrus
tree, whiof grows in the North and
which bears an unedible fruit, with
the citrus tree of the South. 1t Is
sought to beget a plant in which will
be combined the good fruits of each.
Government botanists are confident
that the results of this citrus marriage
Will be a scion that will grow and fruit
at a latitude midway between the
northern limits of the sweet and the
bitter orange. If this should be there
might be orange groves In Central
Virginia, Middle Kentucky, Southern
Indiana, Southern Illinois, Central Mis-
souri, and Central Kansas. Think Of
orange groves around the homes In
