Miss TarbeII on the Tariff Bill of 1909


 In the April American Magazine Ida NJ. Tarbell, throwing a sidelight or the most lively question now befor, congress, says;
 Who makes a Tariff Bill? The question is permitted in view of what is now going on in Washington. Busy and trustful citizens impressed by the hustle and chatter of long-continued hearings and debates and awed by the seeming authority and painstaking of the thousands of pages of reports is sued, naturally conclude that it is congress. Any member of that body asked the question would scout the very asking of it. Who, indeed, if not congress? There is a body of citizens in the country, however, who think differently. They are those in whose interests the bill is principally made.
 "1 wrote the bill of 1S79.' the late Joseph Wharton, iron master, steel master and nickel king, once told the writer proudly. Three men will make the next tariff bill, not one of them a member of congress- MT Havemeyer told David A Wells in 1894. He was
 
 sors, for nearly forty years, was made in practice by the representatives of wood and woolen, of iron and steel and sugar. And in spite of all the signs to the contrary 1t is probable they will control the bill of 1909. We may say to ourselves this is impossi- ble. 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 1S70-in 1882 -'3-in 1SS6-'7-in 1s92-'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 just so long those manufacturers will practic- ally frame the bill They will 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 the tariff question in the last fifty years without realiz- ing that at least nine-tenths of the people have stood only for such duties as would produce needed revenue and would give industries which were trying to prove their 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.

A PROTEST.

The boys who attend the public schools of New York are to receive les sons in the science of boxing. Harold and Henry and Arthur will learn how to handle their fists: They will learn how to swiftly cross counter, becoming refined pugilists. They will dodge. they will clinch, they win master the uppercut, ere they
 get through
 They will also discover that sparring for wind is handy trick, too; Harold and Henry and Arthur and Jakey and Sandy and Mike Will learn how to hit from the shoul- der when, defending ther honor. they strike.
 But what about Lucy and Bessie. and what about Mamie and Rose? Are they to be left all untutored con- cerning the aiming of blows Is woman doomed still to be slighted. are the girls to be left to depend On themselves to discover how rolling pins ought to be made to descend? Must they cling to the old way of learning now nat-plns most deftly are jabbed
 And never have lessons concerning the way in which whiskers are grab bed?
 We rise to protest, for we deem it a duty devolving on us; Let the wife of the bruiser have train ing to hold up her end in a fuss; If Harold and Henry and Arthur shall learn how to handle their fists, If they shall become in the future po- lite and refined pugilists, Why let the girls whom they shall marry go on to their trouble un- trained?
 Let Lucy and Bessie and Mary gain. too. as their brothers have gained.

THE FRISCO SEARCH
The Contempt Case on Account o
 Invasion of Calhoun Offices.

San Francisco, April 5.-A full days hearing, devoted to the reading of af- fidavits and the hearing Of testimony did not suffice to determine today whether or not the three attaches of the district attorneys office and a detective sergeant were in contempt of court when they searched the of- fices of the United Railroads on March 27.
 Judge Frank J. Murasky, whose mandate is alleged to have been dis regarded, will grant the attorneys an hour for argument tomorrow and then probably will take the matter under advisement.

Until the full text of the modus vivendi adopted by eminent Arizo- nians now in Washington, is made known, there is bound to be more or less uneasiness in this territory. Whatever agreement has been en- tered upon has been arrived at evil dently by give and take" process. What we want to know is, what has been given and what has been taken?

Our democratic friends, assuming them to be patriotic and to have the good of the city at heart, have been doing a lot of unnecessary worrying about candidates for mayor and councilmen. Cheer up, we are going to have a good mayor and a good council, for they will be republican.

SECURE TENTH JUROR TO
DECIDE FATE OF CALHOUN
Another Week of Tedious Examination
Closes with Temporary Accept
ances of Talesmen

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-After a
week of effort, during which time near
ly 200 citizens were excused or re-
jected, the ninth and tenth jurors were
passed temporarily today in the trial
of Patrick Calhoun, charged with
bribery
James A. Godfrey, proprietor of a
rooming house, and recent arrival
from Sonoma county, was first chosen,
and during the same session Of court
Joseph e. EmmOns, head of a carpet
cleaning establishment, declared that
he believed it his duty to serve and
succeeded in satisfying the demands of
defense and prosecution.
No feature of the trial has received
closer attention than the statement
made today by Juror Emmons. When
nearly every avenue of interrogation
had been exhausted by the attorneys,
Judge Lawlor took the talesman in
hand, asking him to define his exact
position.
In reply Emmons said: "I'll tell you
how it is judge. l know it is likely
to be hardship, but / believe it is
the duty of some decent men to serve
in order that justice may be done. 1t
appears to me like enlisting. You know
you may be shot at, but some one must
go. If it were not for that, I might
be dishonest and say l had an opinion
and so get off, but l can't honestly say

SAILS TO SOUTH SEAS IN
QUEST OF LOST TREASURE
Captain Who Sought Sunken Gold in
1850 Again Heads Expe-
dition

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-Captain
James Brown, who was a member of a
party that searched for the famous
Cocos island treasure in 1850, sailed
again for the South sea today to re-
cover the spoils of the Spanish free
hooters taken from them by Captain
Smith of the schooner Black Witch,
which sailed from Salem, Mass, in
1920.
Ever since that time venturesome
treasure seekers have sought the rich
loot, but all that has ever come of
their search has been countless ro-
mances of the sea.
According to an interview given by
Captain Brown before he sailed, the
reason for the failure was the fact
that the party which he accompanied
in 1850 removed the treasure from the
Cocos to another island of the South
Pacific.
Iii the expedition of 1850 Brown
sailed with Captain Henry Smith, son
of the doughty seafarer, who relieved
the Spanish pirates of their great
treasure.
According to the captain, the treas
ure was found and $1,000,O0 was re-
moved to Australia after the schooner
had broken up and all of the crew ex-
cept the captain, the steward and him.
self had periShed. The remaining $50, :
900, 900 was buried on another island.
Before this country was reached the
captain and steward died, so he claims
that he is the only living man who
knows the whereabouts of the treasure.
Captain Brown left this port on
board the Mariposa. and he plans to
outfit a small steamer when he reaches
the group Of islands where the treasure
is buried. He has a family in Provi-
dence, r. l.

CAPTAIN OF u. S. WARSHIP
ACCUSED OF DRUNKENNESS
Commander of Flagship Now at
Gibraltar to Be CourtmartiaIed
by AdmiraIs

GIBRALTAR, Feb. Capt. Edward
F. SualtrOugh of the battleship Georgia
under Rear Admiral Sperry is under
arrest on board his own vessel and will
be tried by court-martial on a charge
preferred by one of the rear admira Is
of the fleet, that he was under the in
fuence of intoXicants at a reception
given on shore a few days ago.
Capt. Sualtrough was relieved from
duty by the rear admiral Immediately
after the reception and the executive
officer was placed in command The
ship was brought into Gibraltar by the
executive.
Admiral Sperry, after considering the
report Of the rear admiral, decided
upon a court-martial and appointed the
members. The head of the court Is
Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder, and
Maj. Dion Williams of the marine corps
is judge advocate.
The court will meet on board of one
of the battleships tomorrow
The captain denies the accusation
His defense will be that fatigue was
responsible for his appearance; that he
was under a heavy strain during the
last run of his vessel on account OF
rough weather and that on the day OF
the reception he had been on the bridge
since o'clock in the morning.

M0NTANA'S ELECTORAL VOTE
CAUSES SERIOUS TROUBLE
Series of Delays and Mistakes Termi-
nate in Financial Loss to
Messenger

BUTTE, Mont, Feb 2-Mr. Taft did
not really need Montana's vote, and if
the state had known how much trouble
1T would have in presenting at the elec-
toral college it might have remained
out of the presidential game altogether
The three electors met in good season
and did their part, but as the final
hour for presentation of the return at
Washington drew near complaint was
made that the vote had not reached the
national capital.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
returns had been sent by registered
mail to Vice President Fairbanks. Ref
erence to the statutes showed that fail
ure to deliver the vote within the time
limit might call down a fine of $1,000.
Gen. Charles S. WaFren, the official
messenger, was suffering with a broken
arm. He did not feel much like travel
ing, but he felt still less like paying a
$1,000 fine.
Apprehending that the letter to Fair
banks had miscarried, he put a copy of
the returns in his pocket and started
to Washington. Then came word that
Mr.. Fairbanks had received the certif1- :
cate by mail
And finally there came a message
to Butte last night from Gen. Warren
saying that he had reached Washington
all right but had failed to provide him
self with the proper credentials, and
would probably be unable to collect his
mileage from the punctiliOus custodians
of Uncle Sans loose change.

emptied the contents of all three into d
glass and drank it.
Adler was 80 years old, leaves a widow
and two children. That he made care

TOXIC, Japan. Feb. 2-Speaking be-
fore the lower house of the diet today,
Foreign Minister Komura outlined tho
foreign policies of Japan in a care
fully worded speech delivered before
full and attentive house. The OPEN
ing sentence gave the keynote of the
entire speech when Count Komura
said:
THE foreign policy of this empire
should have as an object the mainte-
nance of peace and the development of
national resources"
The foreign minister dweIt at length
upon the relations between Japan anl
America. He said:
THE friendship of Japan. and the
United States is traditional, and it is
absolutely essential that both main
tain unimpaired those sentiments Cf
amity and extend and strengthen them
by every means.
Notwithstanding the perfect accord
which has always existed regarding
the aims of the two countries i'm the
far east and in the Pacific, it appears
that doubts have been entertained in
some quarters concerning the sincerity
of the intentions.
misunderstanding Removed
'In order to remove this misunder-
standing the two governments have
deemed it advisable to exchange diplo-
matte notes officially announcing a
common policy, which I am convinced
will be largely instrumental in pre-
serving the repose of the Orient.
with regard to the question of leg
islation unfavorable to the Japanese
now pending in California, the impe-
rial government is relying on the sense
of justice of the American people, to-
gether with the friendly disposition Of
the federal government, and is con-
fident that the question will not lead
to international complications
Japan the minister went on
therefore, being on cordial terms with
all the powers, including those who
have not been mentioned, it must be
admitted that the maintenance Of
peace, which is the one principal OBJ
Ject Of our foreign policy, is now prac-
tically assured, and we are enabled to
devote our endeavors to the develop
ment of our national resources. The
hrst point claiming our attention is the
problem of emigration.
In view of the new international
conditions assigned to Japan it has be-
come necessary that our people, in
stead of scattering to foreign lands
shall concentrate in the far east thus
securing united effort looking to Ie-
g1timate activities and avoiding every
thing likely to obstruct the develop
ment of International commerce and
industry"
