HIGH TARIFF AND BIG STICK

How long ago was it that President
Roosevelt was going to send tarln
: ne sage to Congress in few
rs? It is so long ago hat few
men can give the date without refer
ring to old newspaper files. How IS
it that the Big stick has swatted
nearly everything else on earth eX-
cept the tariff and other special priv
ileges?
The rich and powerful interests
which prott by outraeeously high or
needless duties. says the Sacrament
to Bee. are combined to oppose any
sort Of tariff revision. 1t is claimed
for President Roosevelt by his admir-
ers that he IS fighting the rich and
powerful interests that opplesa The
people. Then why has he not ;
en- O he great issue OF robbery ~
tariff taxes?
Only few avs ago came a dis
patch from Washington saving that
at conference between President
Roosevelt Speaker Cannon. Repre-
sentative Dalzell and other minions
of he tariff baIUns. it was agreed
that the tariff will be revised at
special session OF Congress to be
held in the spring OF 1909.
About half dozen men met in the
Office of the chief public servant OF
the people. and take it upon them
selves to determine when a most
pressing public duty i TO be per
formed The chief public servant of
rage-for that Is what it is.
There is not a doubt hat the Re-
publican National Convention will
adopt a plank for early revision OF
the tariff and go before the people
on hat promise. The promise will
not state whether the tariff will be
revised UP or .lown; for the direction
of revision in any particular case
will depend, of course. on the amount
of fst hat can be fried out of the
special protected interests during
the campaign this year.
That meeting at the White House
a few days ago was merely method
Of serving notice on the rich and
powerful interests that dough will
be .eeded in this next campaign, and
that those who fail to produce
need not apply for favors next spring.
If he tariff should be revised by
the friends Of the tariff. why should
not railroad rebates be looked after
by he friends of the lebates?-

President Roosevelt is really grow
ing moderate. He sent for the Unit
ed States attorney for the District of
Columbia the other day and told
him to insist on a Jail sentence for
a violater Of the pure food and drug
law. In other days Mr.. Roosevelt
would have sent for the Judge and
told him exactly the sentence he

Progress in the Field of Electricity

pressure from 10 to lis volts. ~Incandescent
lighting current is not at all dangerous. II
a person should pick up the naked wires OF
such a circuit with his bare hands he would
get but a trifllng shock. II his hands were
reasonably dry. II he should pick up the
same wires with wet hands and take a firm
hold he would get a Jolt, but nothing dan
gerous. The precautionary measures now
used in installing electric lighting systems
and the general Improvement in all lines OF
electrical engineering make 1t practically
impossible to get a shock from a lighting
circuit. The wires are heavily insulated,
making them proof against sparkling, and
tho fire danger is eliminated. For this rea-
son it is now quite impossible to mulct IN
surance companies by blaming suspicious
fires upon electricity.
In electrical engineering circles any
voltage below 200 volts is called low
and anything above that figure high volt
sge." Broadly speaking, nothing below 7O
volts is dangerous.
The ordinary street car systems use cleo
tricity at 500 volts, although there are a
very few in this country using more pres
sure than that.
Touch one side of a 5oo-volt circuit lightly
with the finger, while making contact with
the other side. either through a ground OF
by actually touching 81; the sensation Is
similar to receiving a violent blow in the
chest; a small burn that is deep. but not
painful. will be found on the finger where
the contact was made.
Make a better contact. as by touching the
circuit with q piece OF metal held firmly In
Omaha daily bee., 1908-08-23

the hand, and the blow will be strong
enough to knock the experimenter down.
1t is probable that no burn will result, as
the current has a large surface through
which to enter the hand; in rare cases
the person may become unconscious for a
short time.
Grasp the wire firmly In the hand. and
for 9 time at least It viii be impossible to
release It. Serious burns are made where
the wire touches the hand. and unless the
victim succeeds in wrenching himself free
or help is quickly rendered. the result is
likely TO prove fatal.
1t is well TO remember in case OF a falling
trolley that standing upon a dry board
will give full protection; that while sit
ting in a car there is no dange OF shock
from a broken wire or other cause II one
does not touch metal or wet wood; rails
ing the feet from the floor, that may be
wet or dirty. will do as an additional pre-
caution.
II one wishes TO remove a wire to avoid
shock or for other reasons, II may be done
with safety while standing upon a dry,
clean board. or with several t~hlcknesses
OF dry paper Ga newspaper. OF. in case
OF emergency, a bundle OF dry clothing.
As It is difficult to get the latter per-
fectly dry. a shock may be received when
this IL attempted. but the resistance VIII

severe.

as serious a case as that of the man who
is unable to let go of the wire.
Wires used for street arc lighting may
always be regarded with suspicion; they
are exceedingly likely TO carry a current
OF 1900 volts or more. This will, in most
cases, give a fatal current, and the pres
sure is so great that the precautions pre-
viously described are not to be depended
upon. One would be reasonably safe. how

perfectly dry wooden legs.

pendent. In substance It consists in au-
thorlzing the savings banks TO issue policies
Of insurance and Of old-age annuities, under
the inspection and guidance Of the state
Insurance department.
The Investment OF the funds is, OF course,
confined to a list fixed by law. No profit
accrues 10 the managers. and all returns
beyond necessary expenses go to the in
sured. The annuitles are limited to S9Oq
the life insurance to $500, in the case Of any
ore bank, though the same individual can
insure in different banks. No solicitors or
collectors are employed. All expert work
is done by the state actuary. The state
medical director regulates and supervises
the physical examinations Blanks and
books are furnished by the state. The table
given by Mr.. Brandeis shows insur-
ance ard annuites will cost at various ages.
A depositor in the bank aged % for the
payment Of $3.50 a month, or 1850 a year,
carries life insurance for 500, and at the
age of G5, after forty years. during which
he has paid in 1924. has an annuity for the
remainder Of his life Of 500 a year.
The savings banks Of Massachusetts are

Millener, as It permits the placing of the
antennae so low as not to interfere when
the cars pass through tunnels or under
bridges-an important consideration. Sim

and attuned to the electrical truck, swing
