MANY THEORIES

Speculation Concerning Formation
of Hills Has Undergone Change
in Recent Years.

In recent years theories Of mountain
formation have changed Ike every

that tbe mountains were the muscles.

never was scientific at any time. In
stead OF beng an extra layer OF rock
that binds the continents together, they
are the ragged edges o. the cracks N
the masonry. or folds IN 5he crust, or
extensions OF internal matter though the
cracks. They are points Of the crust s
veal ness rather than its strength. the
new theories bark back TO the original
formation Of the earth. The conception
OF "A hct drop OF a world swinging in

APPEAL IS SELFISH
INCONSISTENT ATTITUDE OF RE.
PUBLICAN PUBLISHERS.
Newspaper ProprIstors Demand Free
Wood Pulp and Free Print Paper,
But Stand Pat on Other
Q Trust ExtortIons.

The American Newspaper Publish
ers' association, mostly Republicans,
at their meeting In. New York again
urged congress to pass a bill for free
wood pulp and free print paper. I'm
Gle Joe and the Republican managers
in congress were loath to take notice
Of the matter. The Republican pub
fishers can hardly blame the Republi-
can politicians. Their demand for
free pulp and paper is very selfish
demand, for they do. not ask congress
for relief from the Ubiquitous tariff on
anything but paper and pulp, but az.
pear to be willing to see everyone else
plundered but themselves.
Now, with the publishers of Demo
cratic newspapers the demand for tar
III reform Is more consistent They
not only ask for the tariff on paper
to be removed, but also, unlike the
Republican publishers, want the tariff
tax on nearly everything else reduced
or abolished. That is, they are anx
ious to see everyone get a fair share
of the tariff reduction, and although
very naturally they ask that theil
own business be freed from the plum
dering Of a rapacious trust, they DE-
not stop at that, but ask for tariff re
form on all articles of necessity, es
pecially those products sold by the
trusts cheaper 10 foreigners than t.
our own people.
OF course, the action of SpeakeI
Cannon in having special COMMITTEES
appointed to Investigate the pape,
trust and the price of wood pulp ant
paper is but to try and evade action
with the implied promise of reform
Ing the paper and wood schedule afte
election. But can this implied prom
Use be relied on, and how will tn,
people fare In the tariff reduction
they desire? II the tariff protection
the paper trust enjoys is taken from
1t, why should other trusts still b
protected? The whole brood Of trust
would then take alarm and the Reput
lican campaign managers would b
more seriously alarmed than tn
managers of trusts. for when Nj
Bliss and Mr.. Cortelyou, or whoever
selected by the Republican campaig
managers to bleed the trusts, call 70
their share Of the swag to reelec
those who firmly believe in the prir
ciple of protection" they would hardl
be greeted with outstretched hands a
heretofore. It would, therefore, seer
that the Republican publishers mus
suffer for their love of protection 70
the sake Of principle, and the Demo
cratic publishers must suffer becaus
they can't help II.

Queer Tariff Reform.

Secretary Taft is getting further
away from my policies" and nearer to
the tariffprotscted and predatory in
terests as the time for the Republican
Convention draws near. His latest ut
terance on the tariff sounds like it
was drawn from the lowest depth of
the Cannon oracle by one. of the high
priests of protection. For years the
Republican leaders have been thor
oughly considering "the advisability
of a revised tariff" and Taft has now
caught the same procrastination idea,
for he says: G
THAT is a problem which is now be-
ing seriously discussed by the Repub-
lican leaders of the two houses, and it
seems to be the general opinion
among them that the ACCESSIBILITY Of a
revised tariff should be thoroughly
considesed." 70 Y
What bosh to try and impress the
country with the idea, that the ad
visibility of a revised tariff should be
thoroughly considered" That Is the
old and delusive stand-pat argument
that has done duty for years and has
. been so thoroughly considered" that
1t is threadbare. This shows that
+. even those republicans, like Mr.. Taft
who have swayed to. the popular
breeze of tariff reform, are either
afraid of the protected monopolists, OF
are really protectionists at heart and
are intent on again fooling the plum
dered people. 90.
