Hcrpicide.
This word of late has been in every

ing what the word signifies, though no
one has yet been found, who will deny
that NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE does
the work. Well, for the information
of thousands of people who like to
know all about a good thing, we would
say that HERPICIDE means a de-
stroyer or killer of Herpes" Now
Herpes" is the family name of dis
ease caused by various vegetable pat

this is the microbe that NEWBRO'S

actors and singers have risen as rap

few have reached a success as per

musical gem in its own right, while
the plaintive thrill with which it is
given in the wonderful Wilson voice
makes it nothing short of a musical
revelation.

Leaders See Revision.

Congress must come together when
the president calls it in special SEES
sion. 1t may refuse to act. sbut II
must obey his call. Public sentiment
would almost certainly require some
step by congress after the president
by proclamation had convened II In
special session. so the political leaders
in both. parties assume. as a matter OF
course, that there will be tariff revis-
ion Immediately after the inauguration
of Taft. II such a thing takes place.
There Is a great deal of wisdom In
the proposition to take up tariff revis-
ion at a special session. The most eN-
perienced men on the Republican side
of the house of representatives, where
all tariff legislation must originate
are committed to maximum and
minimum system IL is even possible
that a suggestion in that direction
may be incorporated in the Chicago
platform. A declaration for some
form of reciprocity, as well as tariff
revision. can best be obtained through
the adoption of a maximum and mini
mum tariff system.

Tariff Revision Bound to Be
come Popular in Nation.
Taft Preempts Commanding Position
in Movement for Change in
Dingley Schedules.
SPECIAL COMMISSION TO ACT.
RAYMOND in Chicago Tribune.)

Nothing in the preliminary cam
paign for the presidency has aroused
so much attention among political
leaders in both parties as The tariff
declaration adopted by the Ohio RE
publican convention at Columbus yes
terday. 1t is generally taken as a
positive pledge of the tariff policy of
the administration in case Taft is
elected president.
As the secretary of war Is so far
in the lead of the other candidates.
the Democrats assume the Ohio dec
laration will be repeated by the Chi
cago convention, and they already are
preparing their plan of campaign on
the basis that they must meet dis
tinct Republican pledge for a revision
of the tariff in a special session of
congress Immediately after the next
Inauguration.
The idea is immensely popular with
the Republicans as well. Even the
standpatters think the Dingley tariff
has lasted about long enough, and
that by next year II will be time for a
general commercial revision, based on
the new prices for labor and entirely
different market conditions than those
which prevailed in the spring of 1897.

There can be no right manners

The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-03-07

no such plank could have been writ
ten into the state platform except with
the advice and consent of Secretary
Taft. This being the case, il is easy
to see that if~Taft is elected he Will
follow Mckinley example and call a
special session of congress immediate
ly after his Inauguration. The secre-
tary of war goes into the campaign
with this pledge distinctly in sight.
Whatever might be the action of the
Chicago convention, unless 1t specific
ally declared against revisions, he
probably would consider himself
bound by the original pledge in the
Ohio platform.

satisfactory to Democrats.

Customs duties which equal the
difference between the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad. with a rea-
sonable profit" would be satisfactory
not only to the great mass of the Re
publicans in congress but 70 a large
percentage of the Democrats, who be-
lieve in the general principle of pro
lection now as they never did before.
While this Ohio declaration on the
tariff cannot bind the party at large
unless it is re-enacted at Chicago, II
would bind Ohio's favorite son II he
should be elected president. 1t is one
thing he would be compelled to obey
and it is hardly necessary to say that

Columbus Tariff Plank.

There seems to be a feeling here
that the Taft element in the Chicago
convention, whether it obtains his
nomination or not will at least be
strong enough to dictate a tariff
plank somewhat in the nature of that
adopted at Columbus which reads:
"A revision of the tariff by a spe-
cial session of the next congress in
surfing the maintenance of the true
principles of protection by imposing
such customs duties as will equal the
difference between the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad. with rea-
sonable profit to the END that, with
out excessive duties. American manu-
facturers, farmers. producers and
wage earners may have adequate pro-
lection"
Both the spirit and wording of this
tariff declaration have been warmly
commended by the Republican mem
bers of the house and senate. 1t is
declared TO be the most satisfactory
announcement on the subject OF the
tariff the Republican party has made
for years. 1t is not straddle. and
yet it is said to be remarkably pleas
ing to the old-fashiOned protective
element It pledges the party to re-
vision at a definite time, and through
the medium of a special session where
attention can be concentrated on that
one subject.
