BUSINESS AND THE. TARIFF.

All accounts agree in stating that the
Aldrich- Hale control in the Senate and
the Cannen-Payne- Dalzsl control in the
House stand intact and that both In
terpret the election as an order to make
no material reductions in the Dingley
tariff. Instead of downward revision
we are more apt to have some maxi
mum and minimum scheme that will
be revision upward. The protected
industries consider themselves safe
guarded by the results Of the election
and they are ready to make goods on
the cid Dinglsy basis. Goods are be-
ing ordered on that basis, thus show
ing that merchants and manufacturers
are alike convinced that there will be
ne genuine tariff revision.
While this will promote business in
the immediate future, yet 1t means .
renewal Of tariff agitation in 1912 and
in all later years until real revision
is accomplished. A reasonable revis-
ion next spring would be the better
and wiser policy because it would put
no end for term of years to all anti
| tariff agitation. The tariff benefci-
aries are not. however, willing to
make material concessions and they
control both the Senate and the House.
| The chances are that the tariff will
become the leading and dominating is
sue in the next presidential election.

DOWAGER EN-

\
An IRfant on China'S Throne.
Quickly Relieving The Death of tge En-

Edict Announces the Death
Yesterday Of His Neither
the Autscratic Head
of the Chinese
Empire.
Especial to the ARGUs.)

Pekin, Nov. 16-Tsze Hsi An, the
Dewager Empress of China, the auto
cratic head of the government. which
she directec without successful inter
ferance since 1861 and without protest
since 1881, died at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon.
The announcement OF the DowageT
Empress death was official and toll
lowing closely upon the announcement
that Kuang- Hsi, the Emperor, had
died Saturday afternoon, at O'Clock,
but it is believed that the death o.
both the Emperor and the Dowager
Empress occurred a consid erabl time
before that set down in the Official
statement
An edict issued at o'clock yester-
day morning placed upon the throne
Prince Pu-Yi, the 3 year-oId son of
Prince Chun, the Regent OF the En-
pire, in accordance with a promise,
given by the Dowager Empress soon
after the marriage ofPrince Chun in
1908. An edict issued on Friday made
Pu- VI heir presumptive.

THE GROWERS OF COTTON.

WhIEe the cotton brokers in New
York are predicting eropof Il, ,4OO,-
900 baiss, the producers themselves
are meeting in Memphis and New
Orleans to- put the price of the staple
up. The problem is one not easily
solved.
The Representatives of the Fasmers
unions sitting in New Orleans SEEM
inciined o,favor a mammoth W ire
house in New Orleans, backed by
lesser warehouses in the other con-
ton-produeing states. Cotton is to
be stored in. these warehouses when
prices are unsatisfactory, and w>hi e
it is held in storage warehouse cefti-
irates are to be issued. These ceBti-
ffcates are to. be negotiable at the
banks. The bmrakers OF New Orleans
seem to think that $50, O,OOn,OGO could
be advanced oD cotton held in the
proposed warehouses.
President Jordan of the Southern
Cotton association, now in session at
Memphis, also advocates chain Of
warehouses. He also urges the
farmers to holdi back cotton pending
the building o1sthe warehouses.
The two big conferences will prove
educational even if they are notable
to devise a successful method Of put
ting up the price Of the staple when
the markets are full of newly-g inned
bales. Education is what the farmers
need, and the more conferences we
have the betten will the farmers of
the South understand the situation.
The Memphis and New Orleans
conventions arc huge affairs, and
when the delegates go back home
they will see more clearly the rela-
tions of demand and supply. They

THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY.
Newark Star.

Newark Star.
The Presidential election of 1908 now
forms one of the pages Of the history OF
the past. Mr.. Bryan's campaign was
splendid one, from spectacular view
point. He sought the coveted goal
with his usual vigor and eloquence.
Practically all the National leaders OF
Democracy were with him. Every
effort was exertedsto gain votes in his
behalf. especially in the East. and these
efforts toward the close of the cam
paign appear red so fruitful of result that
the tide of public approval in the judg-
ment of most Democratic leaders,
seemed to be setting in the direction of
Democratic ascendsncy. The result of
the election shows that Democratic
hopes and forecasts were based upon
surface indications. They had tailed
to reckon with the strong undercurrent
that was sweeping irresistibly to a
choice most decisive and decision
that. in the case OF Mr.. Bryan, was in
tended to be Anal. Mr.. Bryan drew
his own platform, he selected his own
srunningmate, he was unhampered in
the choice OF managers, and yet his de-
:. feat was overwhelming. He may con-
template today three defeats. in as
cending degrees of decisiveness. Mr..
Bryan is now without ground for just
complaint. He may rightly claim that
he has host OF friends and supporters
in the nation, but the conviction must
have been brought home to him that
the majority of the people are unwili-
ing to accept him as their President.
Many of the States delegations, that
of New Jersey ameng the number, be-
ieved that it was unwise to nominate
Mr.. Bryan for third time. They saw
opportunity tor Democratic victory
under different leadership. The re-
suit has justified their judgment. but
it has left the party shattered and
Drostrate. The situation today por-
trays the passing OF Mr.. Bryan as a
leader, He goes from the forefront to
private position in the Democracy
nd that party awaits another stand
ardbearer. It is essential to the we'll
being of cur country that there should
be two parties. 1t is equally essential,
if the Democratic party would survive
that it should return to old moorings
and great traditions. The Republican
party is always well organized. Be-
ing in power, its large patronage en-
abIes it to maintain its effectiveness
even under great difficulties. The
Democratic party, on the other hand
is ill prepared when it enters into th'
heat of battle, and contest is practically
over before the party organization il
perfected. If the Democratic party ii
to prevail in a future election. organi

must be accomplished, and to reacl
this result the party must turn to tina

the Southern Democracy would under

PREVENTS WRECKS
o. X. & N. EAPLOYE HAS
A NEW DEVICE
J. Shannon Of Portland mvents an
Apparatus to Apply to the Track
to Stop TralnsATest VIII BE Made
by Eight General superlntendents
at Portland This Week.

A Portland man who for years has
been an employe Of the o. II. &c N
has invented what experts say is the
surest safety device known to mod
ern railroading and which makes COL
lisslons practically impossible where
1t is used, says the oregon Daily Jour-
nal
The invention is to be given trial
this week by the eight general su-
perlntendents of the Hartman lines
who are holding a semi-annual con-
ference in this city.
J.. Shannon, the inventor Of the de-
vice, has been conducting his expert
ments at Graham station, near Mon
tavilla. He says that the trials have
met with complete success.
The device is simple and is intend
ed to supplement the work Of the
semaphore. 1t consists of spring
of boiler plate placed near the rail
within the track. Whenever the
semaphore arm is down, that is.
points to safety and shows the track
is clear, the spring releases itself and
is at a level with the rail. But as
soon as the semaphore arm points to
danger the spring flies up six or eight
inches above the track.
A locomotive is fitted with an iron
shoe suspended beneah the cab and
attached to the throttle. This shoe
is forced up as the locomotive passes
over the spring and shuts off the
throttle, thus bringing the train to
a stop.
In case the engineer wishes to dis
regard the danger Signals. for in
stance. In the case Of wrecking trains
or helper engines-he can set the
shoe from the cab and it will not act
upon the throttle.
Railroad, records show that SO per
cent of the serious accidents are caus-
ed by disregarding danger signals. 1t
is claimed by Shannon that il his
device is put into use the human
equation" is reduced to almost moth
ing. An engineer can die at his post
but his train will be brought to an
instant stop by the action of the
spring and the steel shoe.
Michael ]. Buckley, general super
intendent of the Hartman lines in
oregon has inspected the device and
he is anxious to have the other gen.
eral superintendent who are present
at the conference also see it and pass
upon it.
