bushes until after the flood, and then
came out and wrote the thing up, and
has been there ever since.
~ don't think he ever dies. l never
saw dead one, and never heard of one
getting licked.
ssIf the editor makes mistake, peo-
pie say he ought to be hung; but if 9

them, and folks dassent say nothing,
because doctors can read and write

there is lawsuit and swearing and a

feet silence.

Wherever you 60 along the coast said

There are whole patches of these in

by an eagle. was seen to run among the
cattle. Leapng from COW to COW he
used these animals as shelter from the

When the pursuit grew too close the
rabbit broke cover for a barbed wire
fence. AS the eagle swooped down on

few inches to the right and the eagle
could not reach him through the fence.
When the eagle lifted and came down on
the other side the rabbit moved across to

Would Postpone Legislation.

THE friends of tariff revision never
expected that the law of 1909 would or
could or should complete the movement.
The hope is entertained that the Payne
law ends the actual legislation for the
present. and it is not considered ad-
visable immediately to turn in again and
disturb business conditions. And it does
not seem necessary to make all tariff
legislation review of the entire law.
IAN excellent reason for reasonable
postponement of attempts al further leg
lslatlon is that it is universally believed
that we ought to do no more legislating
on the tariff until we know better how
to legislate on it. The opinion is prac-
tically universal that We have seen the
last of the log-rolling system of legis-
alton upon such an important subject.
and that hereafter such legislation must
be based on facts and knowledge and
scientific investigation and not on mere
baTtering between sections and different
interests.
Law Not Wholly Satisfactory.
After declaring that the republican
party had changed front, he continued:
1T is true that the Payne law does not
contain as much downward revision, as
the great majority of the members of
the republican party had wished. 1t is
Well KNOWN Ildl III Ulu not con-
tain as much of that revision as the
President wished. But the Payne law
as it passed the House was an Intentional
and avowed revision downward. and
though it was modified before il was
finally enacted, it would be impossible to
deny that as it stands 1t is a practical
confirmation of the new policy of the
party.

tariff policy but I most heartily believe
that Notwithstanding it's limitations. the
Payne bill ought to he accepted by the
friends Of tariff revision as a satisfac-
tory achievement under all the circum-
stances.
Tariff Board Defended.
Secretary MacVeagh closed with de-
Tense of the tariff board, which, he said,
was an important result of the republican
tariff legislation, on which she country
is to be congratulated. He predicted that
the tariff board would prove itself com
petent to cope with any situation which
would be proper for a tariff commission.
He declared he believed it a great mis-
take to minimize that part of the recent
tariff legislation.

Two Important Factors.

In considering the results of the re-
cent tariff legislation. it is Indispensable
in my Judgment to keep two important
factors in mind. The first is that the
Payne law is but an incident in a tariff
revision movement by and within the
publican party. sanctioned and under
taken by the party itself and advocated
by President Taft and President McKin-
ley with almost his last words. The sec
ond is that it is the resultant effect on
the movement which it is important to
take into account.
mo one expected this great movement
to complete itself in single act of leg
islation, and 1t was expected to be quite
clear that the legislation enacted last
August did not end the movement for
tariff revision

BOSTON December ?,-"There * one
great fact that makes a new tariff
epoch said Secretary MacNeagh OF the
Treasury Depa rtmeut at the annual ban
auet of the Massachusetts Bankers As
ISOLATION last night. THAT fact is that
the republican party has changed its
front. Whereas it has been marching
toward higher and higher tariff. and it
has now faced about and is marching to-
ward lower tariffs. 1t has recognized
changed conditions. This is radical
change the Importance of which has not
been sufficiently recognized.
Three hundred persons attended the
banquet. Among the other speakers were
George f. Roberts, president of the Com
mercal National Bank, Chicago, and
Gov. Eben S. Draper.
Opening with a brief reference to the
currency situation, Secretary MacNeagh
MADE a plea that the banking interests
realize the great gravity of the issue, and
declared that unless the bankers sue
ceeded in adopting the public point of
view instead Of the private point of VI

fluence greatly the coming legislation on
the subject. He then passed to a dis
cussion of the tariff and the Payne law.
