Beverjdce EXPLAINS Bill.


'This bill seeks to create such
commission of experts to find out the
facts upon which congress builds a
tariff and to make classification of
articles to which congress can plainly
and accurately fix customs duties.
"By this bill, the commission, itself,
is not allowed to fix duties or even to
suggest any rate. The fixing Of duties
Is kept strictly to the task of gathering
facts and making classfications; the
first is expert investigating work, the
second expert clerical work. Neither
is legislative work.
The want of classification of our
tariff is as bad as the want of facts.
Nearly all our tariff classitications are
more than a generation old. This is be-
cause each time the tariff has been re-
vised, the committees have taken the
language Of the old classifications.
Not one of them is systematic, accur-
ate and up-to-date.
We must have more foreign trade.
We must open foreign markets to our
live cattle which are now kept out Of
those markets. Our manufacturers
ask the same advantages in foreign
trade that the German government
gets for German manufacturers. Amer
lean producers demand that the doors
of other nations which are open to
their rivals shall no longer be closed
to them. We cannot open these doors
by a purely revenue tariff, because
such a tariff merely gives other ma
tons trade advantages with us with
out getting from those other nations
any trade advantages in return.
Must Have Rivals Weapons.
We must have a system that gives
us the same weapons that our rivals
have by which we can get for our
producers the same favors that our
rivals get for their producers. We
must have a maximum and minimum
tariff, the first to apply to all nations
that will not give our producers spec
tal favors in their markets, and the
last to apply to those nations that will
give our producers favors in their
markets. BY this plan German pro-
ducers are selling more German goods
abroad than any other nation. If we
consider area, wealth, history, and all
other elements of the problem, Ger
man producers are selling more Ger
man goods abroad than any other five
nations in the world put together.
Germany, Japan and the world fol-
lowed our plan Of single protective
tariff. and then logically developed
that plan into double protective plan.
We must be as wise now as they were
then; and just as they took the single
protective plan from them Our man
ufacturers, our cattle men, our agricul-
Of min bNl
ing classes ask only the same advan-
tages that their rivals have in the mar
kets of the world. They demand no
more than this, but they will accept
no less than this. Tariff for trade;
trade for prosperity; commonsense
methods for both-this must hence
forth be the American watchwords in
the world wide contest for commerce. ("

NEW RULING OF STATE BOARD
OF HEALTH AFFECTS
PHYSICIANS.

The new rules of the state board of
health, adopted at recent meeting
IN Des MoineS, are perhaps the most
stringent adopted by any state, and
will bring about radical departure
In many things in Iowa. These new
rules are being formulated as rapidly
as possible, and those affected by the
changes are being notified thereof rs
rapidly as the office force can attend
to same.
One Of the changes which is radical
in nature is that which will hereafter
require new doctors to file photo
graph of themselves in the office of
the state board of medical examiners
before they can practice their profess
sion in the state. This is for the pur-
pose of Identification and will be ap-
plicable Immediately. Secretary
Thomas of the state BOARD of health,
in referring to the matter, said:
Far be it from this department to
insinuate the suspicion of a hint that
any person having thought to engage
in the noble profession would get
anyone to impersonate him at examin-
alton time. But the board thought it
would do no harm to have photo

Prevents Duplication.
There will be an interchange of
photographs among the several states
If man takes an examination in
Iowa, and later decided to go to Mis-
souri,, the Missouri state board will
write to the Iowa board desiring to be
shown the photograph of the appli-
cant. DR.. Thomas will extract it from
his gallery and send it or copy of
it down to Missouri-and there you
are"
A certificate of good moral character
and professional standing, signed by
tie president and secretary of the
county, district Or state medical So
ciety of the district wherein the appli-
cant last resided, together with re-
cent photograph of the applicant must
be attached to the application.
On the opening day of the examina-
ton each applicant shall submit re.
cent photograph of himself, which
shall be identified by the secretary
and attached to the application, the
photograph being suitable for filing
and not more than three and one-half
inches wide.
Installment Examination.
A second extremely important regu.
lation which is new has been adopted
by the state board 1t is to the effect
that students who have completed the
first two years of medical studies may
be admitted to the state examination
in anatomy, chemistry and physiology
These studies are completed during
the first two years work at the medi
cal colleges. Hitherto persons have
been compelled to wait till the end OF
the, four years course of preparation
before being examined in them. Now
they can be taken at the end of the
first two years and be disposed of
When final examination is taken il
will not be necessary to take then

A new requirement also compels ap
plicants for admission to practice tc
make affidavits giving full statement
Of all examinations taken, dates

ticed before.

Board at Moraantown.

Prof. George w Brindle, superinten-
dent of the Martinsburg public
schools, is preparing to attend the

being How to Make the Association
More Effective in the Development OF
1.-THE Educational Interests of the
State"
Prof. Brindle has been invited by
President Purinton, of the West Vir-
ginia university at Morgantown, to
read a paper on the subject OF THE
Relation OF the State Board of Educa-
cation to Denominational and Private
Schools" at the Educational confer
ence to be held at the university July

conference there viii be general dis.
Icussion of the new school laws OF the
state
Prof. Brindle told a reporter of The
Evening World this morning that
there was general impression among
the teachers II the city schools that
the revised school laws of the state
exempt teachers in grades below the
high school from taking examinations
in general history and bookkeeping
This, he said, is an erroneous impress
sion as the law only applies to I'M
graded schools and our teachers will
be required to pass examinations on
Jail the branches as heretofore.

NOT BLAMED FOR DEFEAT
Democratic Chairman Takes Excep

Credited With Circulating.

Hon. John T. McGraw, chairman of
the democratic state committee, takes
exception to paragraph in local
paper which says the McGraw forces
circulated a report at the recent CON
yention to nominate judges for the
supreme court, to the effect shat Mr..
Woods, the candidate from this coun-
ty, was representative Of the stand
ard Oil Co. The circulation Of this re-
port, it was claimed, defeated Mr..
Woods for the nomination.
Mr.. McGraw says in his letter that
so far as he and his friends are con-
cerned the statement is maliciously
untrue.
Mr.. Woods. when the matter was re-
ferred to him by a representative of
this paper. stated that he had no rea-
son to believe that Mr.. McGraw had
anything to do with the circuluation
of the report and placed no blame on
him for his defeat.

From The World Of THURSDAY

From The World of Thursday.
Mr. Claude Darr, Of Brunswick, met
with painful accident here Wednes-
day evening about 7 o'clock He had
hired horse and Stanhope rig at
Lambert's livery, intending to take a
young lady of town out for drive.
While passing Hotel Berkeley the
horse frightened at an automobile and
dashed madly down West King street,
the driver standing up in the buggy
fand making a frantic effort to stop the
runaway. When the buggy reached
the street crossing at Manown &
Barnes drug store the buggy gave
a bounce and Mr.. Darr was thrown
high in the air and lalded with fear
ful force in the street behind the fast
moving vehicle. He fell on his back,
severely injuring his spine and Shout
lders.
The horse continued his mad fight
out King street, coming within an ace
of striking the big brick pile at the
Y M. G. A. building, till he reached
DIR. Sencindiver's where the buggy col
lided with telephone pole, breaking
both shafts and bringing the horse to
a sudden stop.
In the meantime young Darr had
pluckily picked himself up and started
back to the livery to get another team
/ in order to keep his engagement with
the young lady. But he didn't drive
VERY long because he became sick and
had to go to doctors. He remained
here all night. returning home this
morning.
That ne was not worse hurt or even
killed was the wonder of those who
witnessed the frightful runoff.
