Must Revise Tariff.

Subject 20 the policy of protection 10
which the country by its vote has been
committed. il is the desire that the con-
sumner shall be considered and any reVi-
sion of the tariff must be downwards, not
upwards
Justice is the chief virtue of the state
and the public has right TO insist on its
application in its government. 1t must be
applied TO the tariff as it has been in the
field of the trusts, toward the railways
and the great public service corporations
The object of legislation on these subjects

rebates is only another name for enforcing
fair play.
THE government has not been uniform
" successful along these lines So far as
public carriers are concerned. there is now
nearly all the legislation desired. From
these the public now has the power to
justice. All il needs is able, conscientious
and patriotic public officials to enforce
these laws and give the public the pro-
lection to which it is entitled.
Leaving the field of interstate corpor-
atoms. the question of corporations within

Flushing, n. Y. Dec. 21.-The trial
Of Thornton Jenkins Hams reached a
climax Of dramatic intensity today

William T. Annis, in deliberate re-
citaI. lasting for nearly three hours,
nictured the killing of her husband as
he sat at the tiller of his boat by Cap

his manner in previous sessions. When

Mrs. Anris made an impressive figure

Federal Control Necessary.

OF serious concern is the trend and con-
dition of the salmon fishery of the Co
lumbia river. Mr.. Bowers declares that
fractional and personal considerations
have been allowed to interfere with the
passage of the needed laws and the con-
dition remains unrelieved.'
The bureaus efforts in artificial prOpa-
cation are negatived by the states in
difference and the necessity for federal
control of interstate waters in the in
terest of fisheries is thus again Illus
trated.
MIR. Bowers emphasizes anew the ne
cessity for uniform and adequate fish

BOWERS SOUNDS :
4 WARNING NOTE
Annual Report of United States
Fish Commissioner Given
to the Public.

Washington. Dee. 21.-''The most serious
condition now confronting the American
fishing industry is the failure OF the
states to afford adequate protection to
migratory fishes in state and interstate
waters"
This is the serious note of warning
sounded by George Bowers. United States
fish commissioner, in his annual report
made public today. Mr.. Bowers graphi-
cally depicts the great destruction
wrought to certain species of fish and
makes an earnest appeal for their pres
ervatiOn.
Pointing to the history of New Eng
land salmon fishery as a warning, the
commissioner declares that sOmes of the
states seem yet absolutely Indifferent TO
the crying needs of fisheries for species
of similar habits, whose obliteration, he
says, is certain. unless radical correc-
tive measures are taken Mr.. Bowers
states that the fish most in need of con-
sideratiOn are the shad. the striped
bass and the sturgeon. on the Atlantic
coast, and the salmon on the Pacific.

tests and example led to reform along
these lines.
The separation of money and politics
is the most significant reform of the age
In my own state of New York. corpora
tians raised unlimited sums which were
used secretly by the party leaders and
then they claimed a lien ON those whom
their money had helped elect. And this
was not confined to New York, but was
true all through the nation. Then pre-
vailed government of the people. through
Mammon, by the bosses. Privileges, rights
and franchises belonging to the public
were bought and sold. Where such is done
"A democratic self-governing people is a
mere name. The public has become cog
infant of the fact that it's interests are
not those OF the men who buy and sell
their franchises.
Another reform is in line with what
Roosevelt calls the square deal No mat
ter what the legislation or policy, his de-
sire is that il shall bear equally on all
classes and discriminate in favor of none.
Much has been done. but some of this
work remains unfinished. Many believe
that the coming president with his expe-
rience and judicial temperament, is pecu-
liarly fitted TO complete this work. 1t is
somewhat strange to note that, though
some months from office, he is already
making his influence felt in the revision

humblest 10 the highest citizen. They
have the power to compel adequate ser
feet of law.
We recognize that these corporations
have received Vaiua BILE franchises With
these went tho obligation To render to the
people adequate and efficient service al
reasonable price. The commissions compel
this and as well protect the companies IN
their property. IN the past the people had
corporations We're always there. Now the
same agency protects both the company
and the public. These commissions are not
political and their chief value lies in the
fact that citizens individually have the
right to present complaints and these
compIainIs will be heard and investigated.
