TARIFF REVISION.

The republican party declares nn-
eanivocally for revision Of the tariff by
a special session of Congress Immediately
following the Inauguration of the next
President, and commends the steps al
ready taken to this end in the work as
signed to the appropriate committees of
the two houses, which are now Investigate
ing the operation and effect Of existing
schedules
In all tariff legislation the true principle
OF protection is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as will equal
the difference beteewn the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad together
. with a reasonab BILE proiit to American in
dustries: and the benefits that follow are
best secured by the establishment of
maximum and minimum rates to be adj
Ininistered by the President. under limita
tons fixed in the law. the maximum to
be available to meet determinations by
foreign countries against American goods
entering their markets, Ind the minimum
to represent the normal measure of pro-
lection at home; the aim and suppose of
the republican policy being not only to
preserve without excessive duties that
security against foreign competition to
which American manufacturers. farmers
and producers are entitled. but also to
maintain the high standard of living of
the wage-earners Of this country who are
the most direct benefciaries of the pro-
tectfve system. -.

WRITS OF INJUNCTION.

We declare for such amendments of the
statutes of procedure in the federal courts

vent the summary issue of such orders

Protection Of the Negro.
The republican party has been for more
than fifty years the consistent friend OF
the American negro. 1t gave him free

Today's program was to be essentially
preliminary. But when Chairman Harry
S. New of the national committee dropped
his gavel at midday it was to initiate
plans as nearly perfect as ever were
ready at the outset of national conven-
ton.
The gavel used to open the convention
is of more than passing historic interest,
being made from log preserved from
old Fort Dearborn. The inside of the
cover of the box containing the gavel is
left in it's rough hewn condition, showing
the deep broad-aX cuts.
The mallet is about foot long. and
around the head is silver band, bearing
an American flag in colored enamel. A
silver plate on the box cover bears this
legend:

Cornell is the best liked for the

that Coach Ten Eyck of the University

VOTING FOR GOVERNOR.

Nashville, Tenn, June 27.-Before
Monday morning the people of Tennes-
see probably will know who is to be
the next governor of the state. To-
day in every county ballots were cast
in the democratic primary to decide
whether Governor Malcolm R. Patter-
son shall return to the State Capitol
after the next election, or whether
ex-senator Edward w. Carmack will
win his fight and become the choice of
the people for governor
The fight has been one of lively in
terest, not the least important feature
of which has been a series of joint de-
bates between the two contestants that
has taken them to every city and town
of Importance in the state.
Governor Patterson and his friends
who are supposed to be strongest when
issues are to be decided by convention,
were at first opposed to a primary,
while the friends of Mr.. Carmack in
sisted that this was the only fair and
truly democratic way of selecting a
candidate. The primary plan was final
ly adopted and was gracefully accepted
by Governor Patterson.
Ex-senator Carmack is highly popu-
Governor Patterson. who is the son of
the late Congressman Josiah Patterson,
is a man of great political resources
and is a born fighter. He has the ma
chine back of him and a following OF
offceholders on whose loyalty he may
count. The prejudice against machine
politics has reached Tennessee. how
ever. and public sentiment on that
question has been expressed unmistake-
ably. How far it may affect the result
of the present contest. however. cannot
be foretold with any certainty.
The republicans profess to believe
that If Mr.. Carmack is defeated for the
nomination there will be so great a dis
affection among the democrats that the
republican candidate will stand a good
chance of election. But the republicans
also are split by factional differences.
and the democrats are not greatly wor-
ried over the possibility of republican
success

Of the Hollenden hotel, which Is the
headquarters of the annual convention
of the National Educationl Association,

cataors who have come from all parts
of the country to attend the meetings
A large proportion of the delegates

NELSON BLEEDs AFTER WORK
BattIer Goes Through Vigorous Spar
r1ng-Gans Does No Boxing.

San Francisco, June 26.-Battling
Nelson is not letting up in his work
here. as his sparring partners can
testify. Red Cornet and Jeff Perry,
who are serving as his sparring part
ners both showed the effect of their
work today, and Nelson himself did not
escape. He has told his assistants to
hit back strong. and as a result was
bleeding about the mouth and his right
ear was cut.
Jack O'Keefe, who is working as
Cans sparring partner. is getting fat
on the job. Cans perfers road and
gymnasium work to sparring. and
rarely hits in the exhibition bouts
sometimes held near his quarters. Then
he taps but lightly.
For probably the first time in which
q real championship title is involved
at least one that is recognized as the
first class-neither contestant has a
trainer Both Cans and Nelson map
out their own campaign and work to
suit themselves.

SETS RECORD FOR CHANGES.

Washington. D. c.. June 27.-The re-
tirement next week of Secretary of
War Taft will leave out two men in
Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinent who were there
when he succeeded to the presidency
upon the death of President McKin-
ley. These are Secretary OF State Root
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Mr. Root was secretary of war when
Mr.. Roosevelt became president in
September. 1901. He shortly after
wards retired from the cabinent, but
was persuaded to re-enter it upon the
death of Secretary of State Hay.
There have been more changes and
shifts in President RooseveIt's cabinet
than in that of any Of his predecessors
He has had two secretaries of state Mr..
Hay and Mr.. Root. He has had three
secretaries of the treasury, Mr. Gage.
Mr.. Shaw and Mr.. Cortelyou With the
succession of Luke r. Wright he will
have had three secretaries of war, Mr.
Root. Mr. Taft and Mr.. Wright. He
has had three attorney generals. Mr..
Knox, Mr.. Moody and Mr. Bonaparte
He has had five postmaster generals.
Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Payne, Mr.. Wynne. Mr.
Cortelyou. and Mr.. Won Meyer He has
y 7.
Long, Mr.. Moody, Mr.. Morton, Mr. Bon
aparte and Mr. Metcalf. He has had two
secretaries of the interior. Mr. Hitch
cock and Mr.. Garfield. He has had one
secretary of Agriculture, Mr.. Wilson
and three secretaries of commerce and
labor. Mr.. Cortelyou. Mr.. Metcalf and
Mr.. Straus.
The retirement Of Secretary Taft has
led to some speculation as to how long
Mr.. Wilson will continue at the head
of the department of Agriculture. The
chances are that he will continue to
serve through the term Of Mr.. Roose-
Welt and should Secretary Taft succeed
to the presidency it is possible that
Secretary Wilson would continue in the
cabfnent. 1t will be twelve years next
March since Mr.. Wilson became secre-
tary of agriculture. He is % years old,
but man of great activity. However,
IT has been matter of some surprise
that he has continued in office so long,

WHITE SOX GOING DOWN.

Cleveland. June 26.-CIeveland put
over another victory on the White Sox
today, winning. to 2. and pushed the
former leaders into third place. A
bunch of errors in the second inning
was responsible for the third defeat Of
the series.
Only one run was earned off Ed
Walsh, who was on the mound for the
visitors, but it was Walsh himself who
threw the game away by heaving the
ball past first base in the second round
thus giving the Maps two of their four
runs. Dusty" Rhoades was on the
firing line for the locals and had the
SOx shut out up to the eighth inning
when the first of the two runs were
made off him.
A belated batting feast in the last
lining yielded the second tally for the
Sox, and If the rally had lasted just
lifted longer the Sox might have tied
up the score. for there were runners
waiting on second and third when the
last man was put out. and another
single would have scored them.

WATCH OUT FOR THE ECLIPSE

Washington, D. c., June PA large
section of America will have an op-
portunity to view the interesting stunts
of old Sol tomorrow, when he hides
himself behind the moon. The phe-
nomenon will be visible in the United
States, Canada. Mexico. Central Amer
lea and the northern portion of South
American. The path Of the eclipse
passes over or very near Mexico City,
Tabpa. Fla. and the Bermuda islands
1t then crosses the Atlantic ocean and
terminates IN western Africa.
While outside the belt of totality. the
inhabitants Of America will neverthe-
less have a chance to witness a fairly
good eclipse OF the sun. It is not often
that the occultation passes over popu-
lous regions, and II is nearly always
necessary for astronomers physicists
and other scientists TO travel to distant
parts of the world or to plant their
telescope sand cameras in far-away
islands in the southern seas in order
to take theiF observations.
Next December there will be another
annual eclipse OF the sun. occurring two
days before Christmas. But the people
Of this part of the world will not be
able to view IT, as it will be visible
only in the extreme southern hen1ts-
phere.

CUBS PUSH OVER ANOTHER.

Chicago, June 27.-Ganzel unloaded a
couple more half-fedged pitchers on a
West Side crowd yesterday. and the
Cubs scored another embarrassing
push-over, 8 to 5. 1t took over two
hours and a quarter to finish the or
deal. the Reds prolonging the agony
unnecessarily after two were out in
the ninth by scoring two runs on a
throw into the stand by Chick" Fraser
and a home run by Larry Mclean.
Cincinnati's play was almost as bad
in all departments as it was in pitch
ing. The fielding was a crime. the base

all are quoting him as saying that If

politan police law is not repealed. he
will appoint as commissioners only
those men who are recommended by
the mayors and councils of the cities
affected by the act This would destroy
he effect of the law whether 1t were re-
pealed, or not
Mr.. Marshall thinks the law destroys
local self government, which, to him,
is very desirable.
1t is recalled that the law came near
being repealed by the last Legislature,
which was republican in both its
barnches. The senaet repassed the bill
repeating it over the governors veto
and the house was in the mood to do so
but was prevented by hasty adjourn
ment, which was planned and executed
by friends of the law.
Discussion of the police law ha been
revived by trouble down in New Al

icism to which they were subjected
The saloons were open there on Me-
mortal day and great howl arose from

OWLS AWAIT REPORT
OF THE CONVENTION
Hammond "Nest" Must
Take a Stand Owing
to Split.
PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT
American Order of Owls Set Up Their
Headquarters in Chicago-Ham-
mond Did Not Send Delegates.

The Hammond Nest of Owls is await
ing the official report from the national
convention of Owls. which was held at
Knoxville. Tenn. last week. \ split
has developed in the order with the
result that a number Of nests have
surrendered their charters and organ
lied a new order of Owls known as
the American Order of Owls.
The cause of the trouble is said to
be that the constitution of the Owls
gives one man in the order absolute
authority. President Talbot, who or
ganzed the first Order Of Owls at
South Bend, is alleged to have framed
a constitution while hmade him the SUI
a constitution which made him the SUI
and which gave him the authority to
appoint all other supreme officers.
Dan Shuck, president of the Ham
mond Nest. said today that the local
order had not yet taken action one way
or the other and that it would not do
SO until it had received the convention
report.
Did Not Send Any Delegates.
although Hammond was entitled to
one delegate we did not send any,"
said Mr. Shuck. we had barely been
organized when the convention went
into session and for this reason we
refrained from sending a delegate. At
this time it is impossible to say what
the Hammond Nest will do, although
action of some kind Is imminent"
Supreme president of the Order of
Owls, headquarters of which are in
South Bend, has issued a statement to
~
zation, which occurred at the national
convention at Knoxville, Tenn. Is of
little Importance, as all except two Of
the insurgents have been reinstated
after having made apologies for the
acts of their delegates. Two more In
diana nests have gone over to the new
organization. the American Order OF
Owls, with headquarters in Chicago.
