Miss Tarbell on The Tariff Bill Of
1903.


1903.
In the April American Magazine, Ida
NJ. Tarbell, throwing sidelight on the
most lively questions now before Con-
gress says:
'NVho makes tariff bill The ques.
ton is permitted in view Of what is
now going on in Washington. Busy
and trtstful citizens impressed BY the
hustle and chatter Of long-eontinued
hearings and debates and awed by the
seeming authority and painstal0ing Of
the othusands Of pages Of reports is
sued, naturally conclude that II Is Con-
gress. Any member of that body asked
the question would scout the very ask
ing Of it. Who, indeed, If not Con-
gressY There is a body Of citizens in
the country, however, who think diff
ferently They are those in whose in
terests the bin is principally made.
Il wrote the bin Of 1870 the late
Joseph Wharton, iron master, steel
master and nicke king, once told the
writer proudly. "Three men will make
the next tariff bill. not one of them a
member of Congress- Mr. Havemeyer
told David A. Wells in 1894. He was
right. That bill. like all it's predeces-
sors, for nearly forty years, was made
in practice by the representatives Of
wood and WOODEN. Of iron and steel and
sugar. And in spite of al the signs
to the contrary il is prabable they viii
control the bill Of 1909. We may say
to ourselves this is impossible. This
time the voice of the people Is too clear
this time the game is too apparent But
the game is no more clear and the
voice OF the people no louder than in
is70--in 1892 '3--in ss6-'7--in1s92- 3.
Just so long as the committees making
tariff bills look to the manufacturers
who profit by duties as the chief source
Of their information, inst 80 long those
manufacturers viii practically frame the
bill. They win frame it also as they
have always done-wIthout respect for
the protective principle itself. No one
can study the drift of public opinion in
each Of the great agitations Of tho
tariff question in the last fifty years
without realizing that at least nine
tenths of the people have stood only
for such duties as would produce need
ed ability to exist in the United
States, protection through a limited
period. But when 1t came to the point
the people have never had such duties,
and on most articles they are farther
from getting them today than they were
at the close Of the Civil War.

MAJOR LONG AND
400 MARINES To GONE

WASHINGTON, December 22.-The
marines which have been ordered re.
moved from the warships by the Pres
ident will be sent to our outlying pos
sessions, according to information re
ceived today. The first assignment of
them to this duty will be TO Honolulu
where 400 will be sent early in January
on the Buffalo. They will be picked
up at various places and will sail from
San Francisco under command of Major
C. G. Long, now stationed in this city.
There being no barracks to accommo-
date this force at Honolulu, the men
will spend the winter in tents.
1t is understood that the marines will
be retained in the Navy and many of
ficers believe that they will in time be
restored to ship duty. The matter has
been taken up by Congress and some
action on the matter, independent of
the President, is not unlikely.

MISSES Castle & Wilmington, Counsel
{ TOYS at Law, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear sirs: We confirm our cable
message stating "Mahuka site final. -
Thls we do upon the verbal authority
of Assistant Secretary Winthrop, who
frankly says that the community op-
pf3lfio3 to any change in the site
has been SO thoroughly developed and
expressed that the department viii not
entertain the subject longer, but will
proceed with the plan of erecting the
public building upon the site origin
ally chosen and purchased.
AS we wrote you a few days ago,
the community action upon this pro-
posed change was So thorough, hearty
and general, that we felt the fight was
wholly won from your end. When the
Delegate here so firmly responded to
the public sentiment at home and took
the decided stand that he would oppose
any legislation in Congress seeking to
authorize new site, that, of course,
clinched the matter.
Yours very truly,

NEWELL SUBSTITUTED
FOR GOVERNOR FREAR

WASHINGTON, December 16.-The
Washington Society of Engineers met to
elect officers and board of directors
last night at Rauscher IS, and aside
from the cut-and-dried business of the
evening managed to have little fun
on the side.
The Governor Of Hawaii, Walter F.
Frear, was expected to lecture, but he
did not. In his place F. H. Newell of
the reclamation service talked interest
ingly for an hour On Irrigation in the
Hawaiian Islands. - He laid some stress
on matters of interest to engineers,
such as the pumping of water to a
height of 500 feet; irrigation, reelama-
ton, etc, but most of his talk was the
plain and unvarnished speech under
stood BY unscientifc people. He show.
ed Hawaii from the time Captain Cook
landed on one of the islands in 1875
and then contrasted it with Hawaiian
city of today, which in the views shown
strongly resembled a city of the New
England States.
Other evidences of civilization were
shown in views of Hawaiian customs,
IN which several plainly distinguishable
American beer bottles were visible.
After Mr.. Newell IS talk, which every
one enjoyed, the question whether the
society should incorporate was referred
to the board of directors.

oTTUMwA's TRAGEDY.

The body of Clara Rosen, the beauti-
full Ottumwa girl whose tragic death
has stirred the city to It's depths,
was lowered into the grave today as
sorrowing hundreds stood by mingling
their tears with those of the grief
stricken parents and family. Ottum-
wa has never known such tragedy
before. There. have been murders
here as there are in all communities,
but never one attended with such
brutality, where there was such total
lack of motive.
There is but one thing now to do.
The crime cannot be undone. What
must be done is to bend every effort
to apprehend the murderer. And
when apprehended there should be a
speedy trial and conviction. Just now
the outlook is discouraging, but all
Ottumwa hopes that the criminal will
be caught and the satisfaction given
that the murder has been avenged.
