The American Society of Biblical Lit
erature and Exegesis, at its recent meet
ing in Philadelphia, passed resolution
calling upon Prof. Hermann V. Hilprecht,
professor at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, to make q public reply TO the
charges laid against him of taxing in
connection with some ancient tablets
which he claimed to have dug up at Nip
pur. 1t is charged that these tablets,
which are now in the museum of the
University of Pennsylvania, instead of
having been dug up by the professor, had
been bought by him in various cities of
the Orient and that most of them had
never been near Nippur. 1t is also de-
clared that the tablets were in the hands
of dealers some years prior to DIR. Hill
precht's alleged discoveries.

Republican Decay.

The Portland Oregonian. the leading
Republican paper OF oregon, if not of
the Pacific slope, has declared its indie
pendence of the Republican party. 1T
is tired it says, ''of the effort to APP
peal on principles, political, social,
financial, national and historic, to men
who don't care for anything of the
kind, but are actuated merely by selfish
piques. petty desires and trifing per-
sonal ambitions" What a pen picture
of the debased Republican party of Ore
gon, with its publicly disgraced Sena-
tors and Representatives whom it elect
ed to Congress. But should the pic
ture be confined to Oregon? Similar
conditions prevail in Pennsylvania, in
New York, and the underworld Of Re-
publican politics everywhere exhibit to
those who understand existing circum-
stances about the same lack Of princi-
pies. How can honest men vote and
work to continue the Republican party
in power? To do so is to agree to be
plucked like geese without squawking.
The Republican party in Oregon, as
elsewhere, must be in bad way and
tottering to its fall. Its foundations
have become rotten.

ELECTRICAL AERIAL TRAMwAY.

An electrical aerial tramway reaches
out for a mile and half ever the sur
face of Lake Michigan at Chicago. The
wires are 80 feet above the water. Sus-
pended from these wires are cars for

gers
This tramway was built to carry the
rock excavated from beneath the bottom
Of the lake In building the new water
works tunnel which will reach 1880
feet out from the shore and take In

At point 500 feet from the shore a

waited beyond that point is holsted up

attached to the wire cables of the tram
way and are hauled to the shore. The

1t is singular that while majority
of the farmers OF the Northern States
continue to vote to keep the Repnbli-
can party in power. all the organiza-
lions of farmers are urging tariff re-
form. The farmers union and the So
ciety of Equity have since their organ
ization been demanding that the tariff
which protects the trusts be revised. al
though the majority of the members
have been voting to endorse the stand
pat Republican program. The Oranges,
which used TO BE- such power in poll
tics, and now continue as independent
organizations for the benefit of farm
ers have been dominated by Republi-
can ring, but even these have lately
seen the light. At the last meeting of
the National Grange in November the
following resolutions were passed unan-
imously:
Resolved, BY the National Grange
in Hartford. Connecticut, assembled
Nov Is. 1907, That we believe that the
general welfare If the country demands
an exhaustive and thorough tariff re-
vision, and that the tariff be removed
from every article that is being sold in
foreign markets cheaper than at home.
"Resolved, That we urge upon the
members of the Grange throughout the
United States TO take speedy action and
use every influence at their command
TO secure the carrying out of the senti-
nents of these resolutions"
That is the Democratic position, but
there is no probability of the Republic
can majority in Congress paying any
heed to the demands of the farmers, for
Speaker Cannon, who rules the Repub-
lican roost, has packed the committee
on ways and means on purpose to pre-
vent tariff consideration. There is a
vague promise in the air to revise the
tariff latter election" but as Speaker
Cannon has declared to the Manufac-
turing Potters' Association that their
industry needs that the tariff be re-
yised higher. what hope is there that
any general reduction of the tariff will
be made 'after election" if the Repub-
licans elect the President and u ma
jority of Congress?
How can the National Grange expect
the Republican party to remove the
tariff from every article that is being
sold in foreign markets cheaper than at
home?" Such a reform would compel
the trusts to reduce the price of their
products at least so per cent. Where
would the Republican party raise its
campaign fund if not from the trusts?
The money power would be the only
source left and the trusts and the
money power are so closely united that
