FIVE observation-disclosures

The tariff in a number of sched-
ules exceeds the difference between
the cost of production of such ar
Iticles abroad and at home, including
"a reasonable profit to the American
producer. The excess over the diff
ference serves no useful purpose, but
offers temptation to those who
would monopolize the production and
sale of such articles in this country
to profit by the excessive rate"
In other words. the tariff needs
revising downward.
What Senator Aldrich said was:
When did the republican party
make any such promise? The repub-
ilican party in its platform did not
promise to revise the tariff down.
ward; it promised revision by fixing
rates equal to the cost of production
at home and abroad, and providing
a reasonable profit to the American
manufacturer.
What the republican platform said
was this:
The republican party declares I'M
euuivocally for revision of the tar
iff by special session of congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
ton of the next president. In all
tariff legislation the true principle OF
protection is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as VIII
equal the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad
together with a reasonable profit to
American industries
This platform declaration is du-
bious. 1t was no doubt intended to
be so.
But President Taft's declaration is
not capable of any double meaning
He saws the tariff of the Dingley law
Is excessive, and this excess encour-
ages monopoly.
But the Aldrich-Cannon bill is
the Dingley law-maie a little worse.
Can Taft approve it?
The political consequences OF this
tariff tinkering are not in doubt.
There is not congressional dis
trict between Pittsburg and the Rocky
mountains, between the Canadian
boundary and the Ohio river. that
is not up in arms at the treachery OF
congress.
That means an end of the repub-
lican majority in the house OF repre-
sentatives in 1910, and a threat OF
democratic president in 1912. This
is merely history repeated.
To sign or not to sign?
President Taft has lost his smile.
He is worried-and with cause.

Sons Tribute to Peter F. Collier.
1t was my fathers wish to die in
harness and so it came to pass. His
gallant spirit went forth to meet
death with the same smile with which
he faced the new country as a poo.
Irish boy over 40 years ago. He
worked his way to success with his
strong hands Gas a carpented once in
Dayton. Ohio, and at other humble
honorable tasks). and with his un-
flinching courage and with his big
open heart.
He was absolutely fearless, yet the
gentlest, the most easily moved, of
men. He had friends in all walks of
life, sprinkled all over the world.
He worked nard and played hard, and
he loved his fellow men, not theo-
retically, but with a hearty and per-
sonal affection.
This business he built, this paper
he founded, are now thrust upon my
shoulders. 1t is in memory of the
most loving comrade in the world
that / dedicate them to clean causes
such as those for which he would
have had me fight. God grant me
strength to be worthy of him whom
l loved so much.-Robert ]. Collier,

Patterns DAY Of JUDO
MENT WILL Be MAY 81
Will He Win or Will He ose---What
Will Happen if He Does Lose--The
Bears May Deliver More Than He
Can Handkerchief Loss and Ruin
Is Sure to Come.

Chicago, May 14.--Will the above
happen to the great bull. James A.
Patten?
May 81 will tell the tale. That is
settlement day On June l the world
will know whether or not Patten has
won.
Never in the history of the wheat
pit has any man passed settlement
day a winner. Many have tried. But
wheat has beaten them. The history
of wheat corners is a story of ruin
and dishonor and suicide and finan-
cial wreckage and broken men.
Will Patten win?
Some people are beginning to think
he will.
Let us see, in plain United States
language. just what will happon on
May 81. Whether he wins or loses
that day will go down in history as
one of the most stormy in the story
of wheat speculation.
Let's remember first that a short,
or a bear, in this story. is man who
has contracted to deliver wheat to
Patten on May 81. The price ranges
up to 1929, or whatever may be the
highest option price reached by that
time.
The short in making his contract,
believed that he would be able 10
buy wheat at a lower price before
Nav 81, and make a profit on his
contract.
The bull, or long, is the man, like
Patten and those who believe in him.
and have followed his lead, who has
contracted to pay for wheat at prices
ranging up to the highest option
price.
The option price is the wheat pit
price.
There is a cash wheat price, too.
That is the price you'd have to pay
in open market for the actual wheat.
It's been about 20 cents higher than
the option price so far. If it were
lower the shorts could buy wheat
they wanted and fill their orders
with Patten at a prCfit-or else Pat
ten would go broke trying to pay.
What will happen then on May 81
A. rL;oooo
If Patten Wins
The shorts, trying desperately to
beat down the price, will have fall
ed. Patten has said all along that
this is a short year for wheat. His
prediction will have made good. The
shorts, if they have to buy wheat at
anything like the present cash price,
will lose hundreds of thousands of
dollars. millions of dollars in the ag-
gregate.
They will ransack the world for
wheat. but they will have failed. In
a last desperate endeavor, as they
face ruin on May 81. they will try
TO buy and fill the order they have
contracted to deliver to Patten.
But they cant buy the wheat, 1t
is not to be had. Each man who
fights for wheat will stimulate the
demand and the price will soar high
er and higher.
The only price at which they can
buy the precious kernels is beyond
the frenzied shorts Then the sec
rotary of the board of trade, black
coated, the only unmoved figure in
that maniacal whirlpool of human
ity, will rap for order.

The man who is looking for someone
to take a responsible position does not
go among loafers to make his selec-

look for an enterprising young man
would be in a town billiard hall, or
among the loafers that infest the

 pr. Maurice de r1sury, a distinguish ed Frenchnah. advances the theory vitality shriniTs. After even the most artfully suppressed signs of bad temp CT the vitality becomes smaller and smaller. until finally. nothing fs left Anger Is a certain kind Of cerebral excitement, explains pr. de Fieury. The hyperstfenic subject is always on It's verge. while the reurasthenie becomes infuriated~onl by Q sudden bound ot reaction excitei from without. But at that moment when they are let loose man Is binder brute, while the weak man is sornewhat of an actor and seems to aim at effect.
 Professor Lange of the University of Copenhagen has described these same symptoms with precision in an import ant little book, which has been the starting point and confirmation of a1- most all recent researches. He holds that "ali emotions are due to disorders ger. in particular, to a very Intense dilation of the small arteries of the brain." He describes redBess and swell. ing of the face as 6 constant sign of anger, forgetting the white rage which is so frequent and impressive.
 But he has brought into strong relief this capital fact--that anger is state of general hyperenervation. The whole organism. the muscles and giands--for of the mouth--set in action by a. super abundance of nervous influx. begin to work to excess. acting for the merC sake of acting. in disorder, without aim, without utility. solely to relieve over tension.
