TARIFF MESSAGE URGES QUICK WORK TAFTS MMENDATIoNS TO CONGRESS NOTABLE FOR
 ITS BREVITY,
MONEY NEEDED FUR DEFICIT
Oeclares Laws Enacted Twelve Years Ago Do Not Meet Conditions Obtaining at the Present
 Time

Washington, D. C..-President Taft. at noon Tuesday told congress in 33S words to revise the tariff. The special message is notable for it's breVity, and surprised congress. inas- much as White House statements had been made to the effect that the chief executive was still busy upon the tariff message"
 Inc president urges speedy revision or the tariff schedules. declaring the laws enacted 12 years ago do not meet conditions existing today. More reve. nue to meet the authorized expendi- lures of the government is asked. and the president recommends the sehed. ules be so arranged as to make ample provision to meet the deficit.
 Urges Quick Action.
 The message follows:
 To the Senate and House of Repre-
 sentatiyes:
 T have convened the congress in this extra session in order to enable II to give immediate consideration to the revision of the Dingley tariff act Conditions affecting production. manu. faeture and business generally have so changed in the last twelve years as to require readjustment and revision of the import duties imposed by that act.
 More than this, the present tariff act, with the other sources of govern ment revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay the authorized expendi lures. By July next. the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal s100,000,O00
 Pledged to Revision
 The successful party in the late election is pledged to a revision of the tariff The country and the busi. ness community especially, expect it.
 The prospects of a change in the rates of import duties, always causes a suspension or halt in business be. cause of the uncertainty as to the changes 10 be made and their effect.
 II is therefore of the highest i'm. portance that the new bill should be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible consistent with it's due and thorough consideration For these reasons, l have deemed the pres ent 10 be an extraordinary occasion within the meaning of the constitution, justifying and requiring the calling of an extra session.
 Tn my inaugural address. I stated in summary way, the principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision of the tariff should proceed and indicated at least one new source of revenue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for us 10 repeat what then said
 T venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country re- quire that the attention of the con gress in this session be chiefly devoted to the consideration of the new tariff bill and that the less time given to other subjects of legislation in this session, the better for the country

 The new means of raising revenue to which the president refers as hay ing been mentioned in his inaugural address is graduated inheritance tax.

A Large City Continues Dry.

~
The following report of conditions
In Worcester, Mass, appears IN d
philadelphia paper. Worcester is a
city of 100000 inhabitants and after
trying "no-license" votes again TO 40
without saloons. The result OF the
experiment should satisfactorily
answer the objection that prohibition
is utterly impracticable in large
cities.
For 12 months Worcester has been
the largest city in the world without
saloons. "No-license" was first car
ried in December, 1907, and in De-
cember, 1908, after seven months
trial, the city again voted no-license.
Records for the first full year OF
no-license, as compared with the pre-
ceding years under license, when
there were 12S saloons and score
of wholesale liquor stores and hotels,
show that under no-license there
was less crime of all kinds, and not
half as much drunkenness. AT the
city hospital there were only half
as many alcoholic patients, and
deaths from alcoholism decreased.
Police records show that the ar
rests for drunkenness numbered
1924 for the license year, and 1,S43,
less than half, for the no-license year.
Arrests for assault and battery were:
License, 3S2; no-license, 255; neg
lect and non-support, license, liz;
No-license, 81; disturbing the peace,
license, 21O; no-license, 109. While
it may be a mere coincidence, it is
a fact that under no-license the city's
mortality rate fell II per cent.
In enforcing the no-license law
1925 search warrants were issued
and 3S1 arrests were made or sum-
monses issued to appear in court. or
these cases, 346 were brought to
trial, with the result that 81 were
discharged, 241 were found guilty
and appealed their cases to the
Superior Court, % accepted Jail sem
tences, IS paid fines, three defaulted,
two were bound over to the Superior
Court, one case was placed on file
and one was taken on probation.

The whole world likes good

one who will not only abide by the
rules Of the game but will also take
honestly and cheerfully what the

In this sense the liquor men are
not good sports. They appeal to the
law but will not abide by the de-

There is hardly child in the civ.
ilized world whose soul is not enthus-
ed as Christmas approaches. Happy
surprises form the bases of his or
her anticipations and visions. Most
of these dreams are extravagant in
their nature, and Aladdin and his
lamp would be needed to satiate the
enthusiasm of some OF the extrava-
CANT expectations of the younger
generation. A little boy in Chicago,
whose father, for some unexplained
reason, suddenly deserted his family,
announces that he has but one favor
to ask of Santa Claus. He is not
coveting anything in his toy bag nor
selections from displays of holiday
goods, toys, ETC., in store windows,
but he earnestly requests Santa to
bring his father along with him in
his sleigh on the night he makes his
worldwide tour and pnt him out at
his old home. The little fellow has
been wasting from grief since his
father vanished, and the child says
home coming will be all the Christ.

THE VERDICT INDR. COOKS
CASE

The announcement of the Univer.
sity of Copenhagen that DR.. Cook
had failed to prove that he reached
the North Pole, and that the papers
which ne submitted to establish his
claims are worthless, has caused
general and intense indignation in
Denmark against the explorer, says
the Baltimore Sun" The Univer.
sity of Copenhagen accepted Dr..
Cooks claim as valid, the King OF
Denmark showered honors upon him
and the whole people received him
with acclamation. To feel that q
man had accepted all these distinc-
tions and honors under false pretense
would naturally excite indignation.
In this country, however, the feel
ing will be more of sadness than Of
anger. While it is true that the
University OF Copenhagen has not
undertaken to say that Cook did not
reach the Pole, but only that be has
not proved his claim, still the decision
that has been made seems not to be
regarded in Denmark, as in this
country verdict of "not proven" but
rater has averdict that be is guilty of
falsehoodAin making the claim. The
head of the Royal Observatory at
Brussels suggests the possibility that
Cook made an honest mistake and
actually believed he was at the Pole.
There are many in this country who
perhaps are hoping against hope
that the records he said he left in
the north, and which Commander
Peary refused to bring back on his
ship, may in the end justify DR.. Cook
But this seems to be forlorn hope.
Many Americans will feel that DR..
Cook has not only destroyed him :.
self in the public estimation, but has
in some degree humiliated his
country in the eyes of Europe.
Doubtless, Mr.. Peary and his
ardent partisans received the news
from Copenhagen with exuitation
But it does not relieve Mr.. Peary of
the discredit he brought upon him.
