The principal objection among pc

partly amusement and in part sort
of sadness or astonishment. A pro-
minent political figure observed re-

publican leader came back from AL
bany, saying he had asked for the
barest possible ncession-anything
that would amount to recognition If
the rganization-and the Governor
had replied that he would not turn
over his hand to become President.
These politicians genuinely believe
that such a demeanor, such refusal
to give and take, betokens selfness,
ilIberality, meanness, egotism, vic
iousness, brutality, perfidy, un-Amer-
icanism, and sin. Their view.of pub

THE NEW GOSPEL.

Police headquarters of the cities
are being thronged each morning
with first offenders-nen and women
whose crime it is to be hungry.
Slums of the foreign born are wit
Messing silent and ungrouped pro-
cessions of the unemployed. Fac
tory towns are full of idleness and
noise, and the villages Of the most
prosperous country in the world
are facing fag-end of winter that
is heavy with trouble. Let the in
corrigible melody that lies hidden in
the heart of all creation make itself
heard above the clash and dreary
pipings of the surface world. Some
how we must wed the melody to the
pain. And some day the heart of
man will sing back better response
to the music that is filling the upper
air. Yesterday and today, and on
till reality ceases, the spaces are cla-
morous with song. Although we are
little. and lonely and human, can We
not even now teach our tired feet
20 keep step in the external rhythm?
And all of us who can, let us help
such men as need. At this time we
should give redoubled aid to those
who are working to the solution.

of Boston, in his city wilderness;

UP TO UNCLE JOE.

To save the Appalachian Mountain
Range for public uses-to prevent its
forests from being destroyed by pri-
vate haste for gold-no more un-
doubted duty lies before our Con-
gress at the present moment. Yet
what of the Hon. Joseph Cannon?
Where can he usually be found when
money is at stake? Is he seen, with
determined mien, his. back against
the wall, oblivious of the moment
and of self, battling for his country's
future? Not Joe. No better friend
to vested snaps was ever known than
he. Kindly take a moment, reader
dear, to compare the Committee on
Agriculture of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress with that of the Sixtieth. 1t
is now rumored dimly that two men,
bers of the last years Committee
who are missing were dropped by
Mr.. Cannon because of their friend
illness to the bill; and our knowledge
of the Speaker makes us fear these
rumors may be well founded. We
refer to Davis of Minnesota, and La
fean of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Cannon.

Michigan, Hawley of Oregon, Cook
of Colorado, and Weeks of Massa-
chusetts, Republicans; and Beall of

of Kentucky, and Helm of Alabama.
Democrats; and we have reason to
fear that an undoubted majority of
these gentlemen oppose the bill. The
whole committe, as now composed,
is estimated to show 10 to 8 against
the bill. This is the work of Uucle
Joe, and if the bill is finally defeated
the everlasting disgrace therefor
should be centered sharply upon the
Speaker of the House. "'

February 3, 1908.
To the Editor of Truth
When l called upon you some
days ago, I told you l ould not avail
myself of your kind permission to
print an explanation of the state
ments of Mr. V. S. Peet in your is
sue of January II, but would en-
deavor to see Mr.. Peet personally.
However so many persons have ask
ed me about the statements, that /
beg you, if not too late, to print the
following:
Mr.. Peet's words are these, "Bish-
op Spalding advertised to the world
to injure Utah." utah is as hard
field as China and just as truly
foreign mission" He is mistaken as
to the words | have used and as to
the intention with which I have re-
peatedly used words, which l
have come to him in the distorted
form above printed. My object in
going east was to raise money to
carry on the work of the Episcopal
church in Utah. This was not with
the object OF injuring this State, but
of helping it. New settlers will not
be deferred from coming to Utah by
the knowledge that there are Episco-
pal churches and institutions in her
principal towns. St. Marks Hos
pi,al and Rowland hall founded and
supported largely by the Episcopal
church speak for themselves as use
full institutions in the commonwealth
We could spend more money than
is given us and to persuade Our east
ern' boards and societies to increase
their gifts, l have repeatedly urged
that local support in Utah towns is
not to be expected for a long time.
The Mormon people have their own
meeting houses and they pay so gen
erously to support their religion,
that they cannot aid the Episcopal
church even should they desire to do
So 1t is therefore necessary for the
Boards of Missions of the various
churches, who send their ministers
to Utah, to understand that they
must put them on the financial foot
ing of the missionaries in foreign
lands. feel confident that my
words were not misunderstood by
many of my hearers, for I took good
care in all my addresses to express
my total disagreement with any bit

The Commissioners of Accounts will sub

1t will also be asserted that the administra-

that with proper care and supervision
there would be no difficulty in reducing
by at least 80 per cent the present cost Of
running the government OF the borough.
Whether or not the report will contain
charges any more serious than that Of in

Mayor Mcclellan was not at the City Hall,
but it was presumed by those who spoke
for him that he would follow the course he
took in the case of Borough President

the report made on the Ahearn inquiry
and transcript of the evidence.
Ahearn was removed by the Governor,
but the Tammany majority OF the Man

will undoubtedly repeat itself, as five out

TARIFF REVISION If

g. AUBURN, N. Y June 8.-Sereno e. Payne.
Republican leader Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, arrived here to-day from Wash
ington to spend the summer at his homo.
He will assist Government experts during
the recess OF Congress in their efforts to
obtain for the Committee on Ways and
Means a better classification Of goods for
the proposed revision Of the tariff. Rooms
have been provided in the Federal Building
here for that purpose. Speaking Of the
proposed revision Of the tariff, Representa-
tive Payne said tonight:
II see that some Of the papers claim that
this whole business is a subterfuge and that
no tariff revision is contemplated. Exactly
the opposite 10 the truth As surely as the
next Administration is Republican theprep-
aration of bill will be undertaken by the
committee very soon after the election with
the view OF special session OF Congress to
enact IL into law
"0ne Of the most important reasons for
a new tariff is the fact that our strongest
competitor, Germany, az well as France
and other countries, have adopted maxi
mum and minimum rate. Their minimum
rate is q protective one to their industries.
The maximum rate is often prohibitive.
In order to meet them on this ground it is
necessary that we provide tariff with a
maximum and minimum rate in order that
we may have a chance for reoiprooA trade
and get the advantage Of their minimum
rates OF tariff duty"
Speaking Of the effort made to remove the
tariff on woodpulp Representative Payne
said that Congress could see no just reason
why proprietors of newspapers should be
put in special class or why their claims
should be considered in advance Of those
demanding free lumber. for instance. 1t is
true that this demand was made on some
extravagant claims which have been ex-
ploded by the. recent investigation by the
