"mollycoddle" would never have
been coined.
Mr. Wittman's favorite fowl is
the brown Leghorn, and it is with
this particular breed that he has
had his greatest success, and
which made him famous all over
the United States among lovers of
fine poultry. AS in the case with
the silver-penciled Plymouth Rock.
this expert got together a pen of
brown Leghorns of good breed
and then, by scientific breeding,
careful sorting of eggs and con-
slant elimination of poor speci-
mems, he produced a breed and
strain of Leghorns the wonder and
admiration of all beholders and
first prize winners wherever ex-
hibited. One day, in examining a
brood Of newly Matched chickens,
he found among them lusus
naturae, a freak, an absolutely
perfect pullet. The most minute
examination failed to reveal a
single flaw or speck. AS Mr..
Whitman says. "She avs an acct
dental perfection"
This hen afterward became the
famous "Crispinella." named after
one of Nero's numerous wives. To
this day her descendants to the
fifth and sixth generation are al
ways to be found among the prize
winners in the fairs and poultry
exhibitions throughout the country.
When seven years of age she and
a pen of other highly bred brown
Leghorns were poisoned by some
black hearted scoundrel. Although
Mr.. Whitman had some of the
ablest Pinkerton detectives on the
job he never was able to uncover
the slightest clew to the perpetra-
tors of so foul a deed

DLNGLEY TARIFF; WHY
IT SHOULD BE KNITTED

bermen in this country to strip the
public and private domains and to
draw on the supplies of future gen
eratiOns in the most relentless
fashion. At the same time, every
man who builds a house or rents
one, pays tribute to this combina-
ton. There are, in. round num-
bers, 12.494 firms, with capital
of $90,454,494, engaged merely in
the business of logging our forests.
This is an industry which. could
better be spared than our forests.
One of our most notorious trusts
is the United States Steel Cor
poration. This concerns has
thrived in part by legitimate
methods, such as economies prac-
ticed in manufacture, and new in
ventions. and in part by the gener-
GUS bounties granted by the Ding
ley tariff. The time has certainly
arrived when it is not IAN infant
industry" and when some or all Of
it's products could well be placed
upon the free list. Take, for in
stance, the staple. article of steel
rails. An investigation by experts
has developed the fact that the
United States Steel Corporation
can produce rails, under favorable
circumstances, for as little as $12
a ton, and under unfavorable cir
cumstances up to SIS per ton. The
standard price asked is $2S. For
years the tariff on steel rails was
s2S, but the Dingley law reduced
it to $672. The English price
has not been less than 800 a ton.
and the same expert advice has
shown conclusively that the Brit
ish cannot manufacture steel rails
as cheaply by good many dollars
as they can be manufactured in
Pittsburg. A selling price of SIG,
therefore, would give the steel cor
poration a profit, and they would
still be a long way from fearing
any foreign competition. Any tariff
paid ON rails to the United States
Steel Corporation is therefore a
gratuity to trust which does not
need it, And the consumer is taxed
to pay this gratuity.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-11-26

The only industrial nations which
now adhere to tariff for revenue
only are Great Britain, Persia,
Abyssinia and China. One or two
South American countries and the
United States cling to the straight
out protective tariff. Other indus
trial nations like Germany, France
and Japan, have moved on to maxi
mum and minimum tariffs. Even
Canada has three standard tariff
system.
The quantity of goods imported
of a certain class is one of the
indications of the amount of pro-
lection afforded by our law to that
particular kind of manufactures.
Thus in 1900 the total imports OF
cattle hides amount to $19.40S.217,
while in 1907 the total imports
were but $40, $40, 25S. This is pretty
conclusive evidence that the COM
petition of South American cattle
raising countries has not materially
affected the price of domestic
hides. While this fact may please
the cattle raiser. 1t has been
sore cause of complaint with the
shoe manufacturer, and Massachu-
sets, the chief center of the shoe
making industry. has been agi-
tated for several years by a per-
sistent demand for free hides. The
worst of the hide duty is the fact
that there is a drawback on all
exported leather. This means that
the domestic shoe buyer pays
much higher price for his shoes
than the foreigner pays for the
same shoes.
1t is hard to see how any one
can defend the present high duty
on lumber. In addition to foster
ing and protecting one of the most
vicious of our trusts, this duty has
unwittingly encouraged the wan
ton destruction of American for
ests. While there are millions of
acres of timber over the Canadian
line and in other parts of the
world which ought to be drawn
upon in the building of our cities,
our tariff is very successfully
deeping out such lumber and max
ing it profitable for jealous lum-

THREE OUT FOR
SCHOOL BOARD

The time for fling the announce
ments of candidates for the two
places on the school board, to be
filed at the election December 5,
expired yesterday. There are but
three candidates in the field, A. w.
Davis and w. S. Gilbert, present
members of the board, and II. l..
Hughes, editor of the Labor World.
Mr.. Hughes has the endorsement
of the labor organizations of the
city, which have come to the con-
clusion that they are entitled to
representation on the school board.
A strong fight will be made for
Hughes, as he is considered in
every way qualified to become an
active and useful member of the
board.
Women have a right to vote In
the school election. and many are
registering and preparing to exer-
else their privilege. The rgistra-
ton books are open at the Elk
drug store, 424 Sprague avenue,
where they will remain the rest of
this week. Saturday is the last day
of registration for the school cleo
ton.
1t will not be necessary for vot-
ers who registered for the general
election this month to register
again for the school election.

BREEDER OF Perfect FOWLS
GOT $144 A DOZEN FOR EGGS

When w. Theodore Whitman
was a mere boy he had fad
chickens. Today he is one of the
five greatest living experts on
fowls in the United States, and
his sole occupation is to travel
from place to place acting as
judge at poultry exhibitions.
He has demonstrated what pa
thence, study and scientific meth
DDS can accomplish. For instance,
quite number of years ago he
purchased from DR.. Croker, of
Massachusetts, who had originated
the breed, all of his silver-penciled
Plymouth Rock chickens. The
latter, while of very handsome
type, were nothing extraordinary
in that particular line of type.
When Mr.. Whitman secured the
flock, however, he Immediately be-
gan to study and experiment how
to improve the breed. Gradually,
by careful breeding and crossing,
proper mating to eliminate all that
was poor and detrimental. and to
improve and develop their strong
points, he succeeded so well that
the greater part of his flock be-
came prize winners in all of the
hading poultry exhibits in the
country, and one of his pullets
drew first prize at the world S
fair in Chicago. This pullet is still
living, and is now the property of
Il. A. McAlpin, the tobacconist, to
whom Mr.. Whitman later sold his
entire pen. If half the attention
