ANOTHER TARIFF REFoRMER.

Van Cleave is another Saul among the
prophets. The president of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers is out
in statement advocating revising the
tariff downward. and saying sarcastic
things about Serene Payne. the stand
pat chairman of the house ways and
means committee. It was considerab BILE
OF shock when Andrew Carnegie
threw his bomb into the protection
camp, and the brethren have hardly had
time TO recover before Van Cleave ap-
pears as the champion of tariff reform.
1t is beginning to become apparent
that Cannon, DalzeII and Payne are not
going TO have things all their own way
during the extra session. President
elect Taft has been holding conferences
on the tariff question at Hot Springs.
and word has been sent forth that the
new chief executive will insist upon
knowing how far Eir. Cannon is willing
to go In the matter of downward re-
vision before the speakership contest is
decided. Let the good work go on.

OF THE FARMER.

The farmers of the United States are
not enraptured with the idea that they
need an "uplift," moral or otherwise.
The commission appointed by the pres
ident to go out over the country and
interview the granger on his native
heath occasionally runs up against an
individual who resents the imputation
well fed and as intelligent as the deni-
zens of the city. Here is the answer
of one of the individuals aforesaid to
the questions put by the commission:
In my Judgment country people are not
beneficiarieS of those living in town.
neither are they wards of the nation.
They have not asked for and do not want

sion is a mistake, saved only by the high
character of the president and the gem
uemen of the commission from being held
YOU can DO is TO tell the president frankly
that the conception is abortive, and ask
to be excused from exploiting it.
As matter of fact. the president is
conscientious in his desire to do some
thing for the farmer, but 1t is evident
that his notions of country life have
been drawn in part from the comic sup
plements. However, the commission
will be with us in few days. and if any
citizen of Utah has an -uplift" idea let
him speak or forever after hold his
peace.

Special to The HERALD

Cleveland. o.. Nov. 27.-According to
information given out at the Office Of the
attorney general in Columbus today,
the Ohio German Fire Insurance COM
pany, with headquarters at Toledo, has
agreed to give up its fight against the
custer suit recently brought by Attor-
ney General Denman, at the instigation
of Insurance Commissioner Lemert.
This decision is said TO have been
reached at conference between the at

president of the insurance company. Mr.
Denman states that the proper court en-

MO TRUST LEGISLATION.

The word has been quietly passed that
President Roosevelt will make an eff
fort to secure the amendment of the
Sherman antitrust law during the COM
ing session of congress. in order that
the so-called good" trusts and the
farmers and laborers organizations
may be exempted from the drastic pro-
visions OF the act. AS the president has
only four months of official life remain
ing. it is hardly probable that congress
will pay much attention TO his recon-
mendations.
The majority in congress never has
had any real sympathy with the presi-
dent in his ambition to regulate the
trusts. and If anything further is to be
done in the matter il will be under the
leadership and during the administra-
ton of Mr.. Taft. Congress will pass
the appropriation bills this winter and
that's about all it will do.
