The Tariff in Issue.

The New York Times indulges curious
logic when it regrets that the tariff is
not in issue in this campaign, points
out that there can be no further meas
ur,e of revision than "the protectionist
Senate graeiously consents to grant, 81
and then proceeds. III Governor John
son or Judge Gray had been the Demo
cratic candidate the tariff might have
beeni discussed 10 some nurpose."
Just how the nomination of some
other Democrat would have made the
Senate any less protectionist is not
quite clear. The thing that VIII make
the Senate less bigoted and unreason-
able in its prOtectionism is the very
thiu~ now happening all over the coun-
try: the revolt against the old-line,
special-interest Senators, and the move
ment in many States to supplsnt them
with men who will represent the pub
lies concern when the tariff is revised,
rather than priv~t" concern.
II may be doubted whether the tariff
revision issue is in such a bad way.
The truth is that the Senate is not the
barrier 10 revision that will revise.
The Senate is fast being brought to see
itself as the country sees it. 1t is
vG-t'v more responsive to real national
demands than is the House under the
present regime. If the House WAYS
and Means Committee can be reorgan-
lied or scared into acquiescence in the
demand for effective revision, there need
be little concern about the Senate.
There viii be "A. fine new crop of Sen
ators, of the independent sort, BY the
time the special session meets. There
viii be Crawford and Bristow and Cum
minis and Chamberlain, and several
others. all taking the places Of men
who have been part of the high protec-
tion machine in the upper house. The
Senate viii not be arrogant about this
revision, as it was when German con-
trolled Democratic Senate. 1t will
pass at least as liberal a law as can
he squeezed through the House; mere
likely. indeed. the Senate will be found
amending the House bill to make it
more liberal.
This tariff struggle Is going to bring
soDe new alignments in Congress. 1t
viii be the occasion for insurgency in
both houses. If the Republicans con
troll the House and re-elect Cannon
Speaker, it will bring the crisis in his
career; for he will never be able to
hold his following in line for such q
tariff bin as he viii require to be
brought out from his Ways and Means
Committee. msu..-acv win at last win
unless the House leadership surrenders
In "dvance to it.
The chances are good for a more hon
est, public-spirited consideration of the
tariff than it ever received before; and
this is true without reference 10 the
elections result. 1T is true because Con
gress viii not dare stand in the way
of some reo~1rable concessions 10 the
overwhelming national demand for re-
vision that viii revise.

Wall Street Must Probe.

The apparent intention of the New
York Stock Exchange to investigate the
wild activity and feverish fluctuations
which characterized Saturdays two
hour session of the market, when trans
actions exceeded the million mark in
less than a dozen shares, should be
genuinely thorough. When the verdict
Is rendered there should be no suspicion
that the committee charged with get

protect the reputation of the Stock Ex-
change for square dealing and TO punish
those who have brought the Wall Street
market into disrepute.

FINED in
TWO COURTS

Joe w. Vannice, a we'll known
real estate dealer, and Clarence l..
Horr, prominent young ranchman,
engaged in quarrel at the Drew
veterinary barn this morning about
O'Clock. The two men became an
cry in discussion of a private busi-
ness matter. Horr claims that Van
nice called him bad names and Horr
suddenly landed on Mr.. Vannice, and
1T is reported knocked him down and
struck him
The men were parted. Vannice
claimed that Horr had taken advant-
age of him, attacked him without
sufficient provocation and struck him
without warning. He had Horr
brought into Justice Sweney's court
on charge of assault and battery.
Horr plead guilty and paid fine of
IS and costs.
This afternoon Vannice again had
Horr arrested, this time under the
city ordinance for fighting. Horr
was taken. before Judge C. B. Hill.
He again plead guilty and was fined,
but as he had paid fine for the
same offense in the justice court
Judge Hill remitted the fine in the
police court.
The trouble had no connection
with the dispute between number
of ranchmen over the Highland Park
waste ditch, the building of which
Vannice opposes.

VENERABLE SENATOR
PASSES FROM LIFE
(By Associated Press.)

Baltimore. Md, Mar. 1S.-United
States Senator William Pinckney
Whyte died at his home in this city
last night.
Senator Whyte was taken ill while
in Washington last Thursday and re-
turned as soon as possible. Erysip-
elias developed and his condition be-
came worse, although his physicians
gave out encouraging statements un-
til yesterday afternoon.
About pm. the senator suffered
a sinking spell, but recovered Won
derfully and was conscious until the
final CONFUSION that ended in his
death at 1902 pm.
The end was peaceful and it is
said to have been precisely such as
he had expressed a wish for. He
was 81 years of age.
