Heroic Young Woman Saued
 Children From Forest Fire

Bay City. Michigan. Oct. 21.--A spec. ial to the Tribune from APena, Michi- gan. says:
 Among the most thrilling experien- ces of survivors of the Presque Isle County forest fires was that of Miss Grace Barber. a school teacher. 19 years old, whose school in Krekow township was in session when the flames swept down upon the building. A terrified farmer had rushed into the building to give the alarm just as the rear of the school house caught fire.
 The young teacher marshaled her pupils in a double row. the largest at the head and ordered them to remain in close order and not to break the tie. She then directed the leaders to head for a plowed field nearby and the column started on a run. Miss Barber

 The railroad claimed that its refund of one dollar per car was for switch ing. and terminal trackage facilities furnished by the packers, and the cir cult courts exclusion of evidence showing the reasonableness of this charge was together with the lack of specific violation of the EIkins law, the basis of today's appeal.

Gives Theory of Protection.
I'm all tariff legislation the true
principle of protection is best main
tanned by imposition of such duties
as will equal the differences between
the cost. of production at home and
abroad, together with a reasonable
profit to American industry and the
benefits that follow are best secured
by the establishment of maximum and
minimum rates to be administered by
the president under the limitations
fixed by law, the maximum to be
available to meet determinations by
foreign countries against American
goods entering their markets and the
minimum to represent the normal
measure of protection at home. the
aim and purpose of the republican
policy being not only to preserve with
cut excessive duties that security
| against foreign competition to which
American manufacturers, farmers and
producers are entitled, but also to
maintain high standard of living to
the wage earners of this country who
are the most direct beneficiaries of
the protective system.

Can Speaker Cannon eliminate the
Injunction plank from the Taft plat

any one to answer it presented th'
