THE COUNTRY'S GOOD GUESS
AS TO TARIFF REVISION.

The judgment of the country, which
was erystailized several years ago in
the popular conclusion that there must
be vigorous reduction OF tariff duties
on many articles, has been vindi, ted
in remarkable manner BY the hearings
before the Ways and Means Commit
tee.
For decade advanced revisionists-
not free traders, but protectionists who
yet demanded moderation-hav been
insisting that steel, iron, coal, lumber,
wool, hides, and some other things
ought TO be on the free list or else sub
jected TO greatly reduced duties They
were not, indeed, able TO get at the
confidential information about condi-
tions in those trades; but they could
see and figure out enough To Justify
their conclusion, and they have Eeen
demanding that policy OF reduction
with ever-increasing earnestness and
with the backing of a growing popular
support
The things which have been brought
out before the Payne committee as to
these great staples, amount TO vindi
cation OF the Judgment that these
schedules need revision. The testimony
OF the greatest manufacturers of steel,
the heaviest producers and users OF
coal, the makers and users and uer-
chants of lumber, the growers of hides,
the makers Of leather and OF shoes,
shows a prepondersnce in favor of the
contention that real revision IS ncces-
sary.
1t is not merely shown, for instance
that the tariff or hides could be re-
moved without injury to the farme, or
drover- 1t i shown in addition, that
the tanner and the shoemaker and the
other trades in leather goods wOuli be
positively helped; that the consU mer
would get large benefits; that, in short,
nobody would be injured except pos
sibly the Meat trust, while many inter
ests would be benefited.
This Is the sort of showing which is
hard 10 answer. 1t Is the sort which
is being made as 20 tariff on a number
of the great staple articles which affect
the cost of living TO the whole country.
1t seems that the community at large
guessed right about the tariff, before 1t
got a chance to see the evidence. Now
1t has confirmation from the highest
sources, OF its Judgment; and it Is go
ing to insist on frank acceptance of
this situation, and effective dealing
with it, in the new Payne bill.

PUTTING THE TRAMP To
WORK IN NEW YORK.

All over the world a study is in
progress of the problem of the unem-
plOyed men and women unable. either
by reason of accident or sickness, to
support themselves, or who cannot get
work, or who viii not work if employ
ment is Offered them. The problem is
complicated by the sudden addition at
periodic intervals of large numbers who
are compelled to join the ranks of the
unemployed owing 20 an industrial
crisis. As the business of the world
has become more and more closely con-
nected each country feels in a greater
or less degree the effect of a slow
down of activity in another.
In this connection there is about TO
be made very interesting experiment
in New York. The Legislature is to
be asked to appropriate $4,000 for
the purchase and establishment of
three farm colonies for tramps. 1t is
proposed to make a study OF the tramp
and see if he cannot be got rid of.
Few persons who have not read sta
tistics of the extent of the tramp nuis-
ance have an idea of how costly the
tramp Is to society He is estimated
to number more than half a million.
The railroads suffer greatly by reason
of the tramp. The number of tres
passers killed annually on American
railroads exceeds the combined total of
passengers and trainmen killed annu-
ally. An official of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad stated at recent meet
ing OF the National Conference of Char
titles and Corrections at Minneapolis
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-12-21

that railroads often maintain along
their right of way private graveyards
in which to bury Migrants killed by
trains while trespassing. According to
that speaker the estimate of S25,O00,-
600 annual loss is a conservative one.
No wonder the railroads are heartily
encouraging the New York plan of
corralling the tramp and studying him.
1t is argued that these half million
men cannot be permitted TO go on in
definitely, making more tramps and do
ing more damage year after year. Some
of them are victims of circumstances;
some are youths who would be glad 20
escape from the ranks; some are driven
to the road by want, and some have
the 'wanderlust" The idea is for the
State TO put them on these farms and
sift out the good from the bad, re-
claiming those who can be reclaimed
and protecting society from those who
are irreclaimable.
In its essence this is the scheme Of
true charity-tO remove the cause.
When the tramp is an able-bodied man
who wants to work and cannot find it
the farm colony offers him, not charity,
but work, where he can support him
self until something better offers. 1t
is step in the direction of State recOg-
milton that it cannot simply fold its
hands and let men starve through no
fault of their own.
The experiment will be watched with
great interest. 1t is thought it will
be necessary to have two kinds of farm
colonies-one of a punitive nature to
which incorrigibles may be committed,
and the other TO which men may re
sort in time OF need. Also there is hope
that the institution can be made self
supporting and aid materially in solv-
ing the problem of what this country
shall do with its unemployed.

said. 81 want good meat and want
a good chef; pay him the commission
and put it on the bill"
OF course, hotels and big apartment
houses are in the worst position, but it
may be said for them that they are
fully aware Of the danger and that the
buying is often done by some one who
has a financial interest IN the concern
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that
graft" among domestic servants, esPe-
cially of the rich, has become a serious
evil. Possibly, seeing 50 much waste
and extravaganza, servants lose the idea
of the value of what is taken; or, see
ing so much Iooseness in money mat
ters, fall an easy prey to temptation.

YESTERDAYS NEWS TOLD
WHEN IT WAS NEWS.

Each of our Monday morning con-
tempOTaries printed about forty items
of news in this mornings Issue. OF
those forty items not more than thirty
were of actual news Importance. And
of those thirty items every one was
previously published in the Sunday
evening issue of this newspaper. In
other words, not a single important
statement of fact contained in the
Washington newspapers of Monday
morning was new to the readers of The
Washington Times who obtained the
issue Of the afternoon before.
The news developed after the Sun
day morning papers went to press-not
later than midnight Saturday-had as
its principal features:
/. The resignation of the Portuguese
cabinet.
, The killing of man on the Great
Falls electric line.
3. The confirmation of a class of 27S
by Cardinal Gibbons and the delivery
of a sermon by the dean of the Ameri-
can Catholic church.
4. The almost miraculous rescue of a
Georgetown grocer and his family from
fire by their watch dog.
5. The effort of President Castro to
purchase supplies of war in Europe.
Every one OF these items appeared
in full in The Times of yesterday.
With several other "stories" it reap
peared on the first pages of our con-
temporaries this morning.
There was one other "story" on
measuring the energy of the human
body There was another on the raid
Of cock fight in Lowell, Mass. Both
of these were sent to this Office in time
for use yesterday and were set aside for
news believed 10 be of more Importance.
Further than this, the front pages of
these Monday morning papers contain
rumor that Ambassador Reid may not
be reappointed to the Court Of St.
James, which is introduced as clipped
from q New York newspaper; Mr..
ull tNtlllll8 81 d UlOh on the
liquor fight, which was published on an
inside page in The Times of yesterday;
and one piece of real information--that
Mr. Bryan disapproved of the plan to
increase the Presidents salary. This
last was the news justification for this

Such a comparison, made only in
spirit of fair competition, is the best
answer TO the general prediction
amongst our newspaper associates that
there would be mo news on Sunday
There was news, yesterday, and there
has been since the first issue of The
Sunday Times-news important and in
teresting, from abroad, from the broad
field of American life, from the imme-
date field of the local welfare Wher-
ever 1t Is, this comparison proves the
ability of The Times news service to
gather it. And that the reader is re-
spOnsivc to the service thus represent
ed is plain from this:
That the sale of the first Sunday is
sue, extraordinary as it was, has been
increased by not less than 1000 copies
with each following Sunday issue.

news, want it when it is news mot the
