dent of the Senate had had his way, and
there was no incongruity in the proceed
ings as far as anybody can tell now.
Thus was tradition thrown to the
winds. Whose was the fault? 1t is not
likely anybody will tell, for, after all,
what difference does it make?
1t is mighty seldom, however, that such
a thing occurs in the Senate.
Everybody around the Senate end of the
Capitol knows John III. Walker, the clerk
OF the District committee and the right
hand man OF Senator Galiinger o. New
HAMPSHIRE, the chairman of that COM
mittee. MIR. Galinger is not the only
man with whom Mr.. Walker is popular.
His friends, however, have only recently
become aware of the extent and great
ness of this popularity. 1t is all-com-
polling. apparently. and even influences
the destinies Of great men.
Before the clerk o the District corn
mittee discovered his peculiar aptitude
for being nice TO people with grouches

States senator. who wants to be nice
himself but hasn't the time always. he

After while. however, Mr.. Gallinger

in Utah today, or perhaps It's one OF
the reasons.
Be that as it may. it appears that the
good professor has never lost sight of his
capable and genial secretary.
II must have him back, he has been
saying all these. years, even If i have to
run for the Senate to get him.
The touching pat of the tale is that

CLAUSE PROVIDING GRAIN
GRADING STRICKEN OUT.
Crumpacker Opposes Establishment
Of Laboratories for Ex-
amining Seeds.

When the agricultural bill was taken
up In the House yesterday Mr.. BurIeson
of Texas spoke in support OF that provision
Of it which enables the Secretary of Agri-
culture to establish a standard for the
different grades of cotton. and to call to
his assistance for that purpose nine ex-
pert cotton classifers instead of the
eleven now commercially designated.
The need in the cotton producing states
for such Standardization was urged by
MIR. Lever of South Carolina Mr. Crum-
packer OF Indiana asked If such leeisla-
ton would not lead to the necessary es-
tablishment by the government Of a cot
ton laboratory in every cotton center of
the United States. Mr.. Lowering of
Massa chuetts thought not. He said the
cotton brokers would obtain from the
government standard samples by which
they would Judge and grade all cotton
offered to them for purchase
Seed Laboratories Opposed.
Mr.. Crumpacker and others opposed a
section of the bill providing for the
establishment of federal laboratories for
examination Of samples of seed or grain.
Objection was based on the declaration
that this would lead ultimately to federal
inspection of grains in interstate COM
merce.
Mr.. Pollard cOntended that federal in
spection of grain was necessary and de-
Tended the section

the reports made as result of such
laboratorial examinations shall serve IS

stricken out on a point of oDder after a
lively debate. The section was then
adopted Is amended.

abstract academic point of view, On the one hand 1t is argued that those who have invested their capital under the protective shadow of the tariff will have right 10 expect that this pro-
 tection will not be suddenly or ar
 bitrarily withdrawn. In other words, that they have certain vested rights which are entitled to respect, These vested rights form the basis of the policy which those who stand pat on | tho tariff question have to offer for their position, 1t is certainly true that l If protection were withdrawn imme- diately after 1t was granted, a certain l injustice would be done to all who had l invested theIr capital. The reason is ! that the value of the invested capital is then taken out of 1t before there has been any opportunity for returns npon the investment. But this argu-
 mcnt does not apply when long time
 has elapsed on the contrary df pro- lection Is afforded for an indefinite period, vested rights become vested wrongs"
 If it be true that the republican party owes an implied obligation to
 the protected interests that protection
 should not be prematurely withdrawn,
 lt owes an even moro solemn debt to the country that protection should not
 be indefinitely extended If 1t would
 be bad faith to the producers to take
 down the tariff too soon, 1t is also bad
 faith to consumers to take 1t down too
 late.
