THE MOST CRITICAL SECTION
OF THE TARIFF BILL.

If the question were to be asked:
"What particular reformation in the
tariff has been most insistentIy de-
manded by the greatest number Of
people" the answer could be given
with little hesitation. 1t is the estab-
lismnent of.Iumber on the free list.
1t is not too much to say that tariff
legislation might have been STAYED off
for years longer if it had not been
for the lumber situation. The tree
less sections of the country, observing
prices Of lumber steadily ascending at
pace which has for several years
steadily tended to make them pro-
hibitive, have demanded, with in
creasing vehemence, that the tariff bars
against Canada be taken down The
demand received a great impetus when
the conservation program took a firm
hold on the national mind, for ii was
recognized that the present tariff is
simply a premium offered for the rapid
destruction OF the remaining American
forests.
The States from which has come the
demand for free lumber are those which
constitute the very backbone Of the
Republican party's power. From the
AIleghsnies TO the Rockies, north Of the
Ohio. there is no exception, unless
perhaps Michigan; and the best in
formation indicates that even Michigan,
if the voice of its people were echoed
by its representatives in Congress,
would be heard in favor OF free or at
least greatly reduced rates on lumber.
A jeller in lumber, OF a series OF
lumber. would mean disaster 10 the
Republican party. That ought to be
SCI down, by this time, a. automatic.
The reductions which the conference
bill pretends to give are so small as TO
look ridiculous to people who have been
pressing for free lumber
But now it is charged, and the charge
: is backed by analysis of the conference
measure, that the reductions are for
the greater part rather apparent than
real; that changes in descriptions OF
/ certain kinds Of lumber and timber
have made it possible TO increase the
actual duty while reducing the tigures
IN which it is expressed. This charge
ought to be looked into with great care
President Taft. having taken in hand
the business Of making this bill con
form so far as possible TO the country
demands, should make very sure about
/ this lumber schedule before it is finally
adopted. There is more possibility OF
party disaster in the discovery of a
serious "lumber joker" when it is too
late for correction, than in anything
else which is even remotely suspected.
1t is charged that as to highly i'm
portant items in the lumber schedule
on which an apparent reduction i.
granted, the rate is in fact raised very

Of poor Little IOe.

A new chapter has TO be written
about the pathetic case Of little "Joe,"
the newsbOy who went 10 sleep on ths
stone steps Of the Senate wing OF
the Capitol the other day and aWoks
TO find that large section Of his per-
son was covered with coins given him

Finally. Col. Dan RansdeU. sergeant-

fact that this business Of going to sleep
when it rained nickels, dimes, and quar-

part of a regular system Of graft. He

Capital T aIes

T He brand United States Army
Will have to be placed somewhere
ON the new tariff Din. by reason
Of the highly important contribution Of
Major Herbert N. Lord, L. S. A, to
the work of preparing 1t.
The career Of Major Lord began about
fourteen years ago. as a tariff expert.
He was a Maine man, and became secre.
tary Of Governor Dingley about two
years before the Dingley revision was
taken up. He developed great aptitude
Tor the work, having a head for ag-
ures, and memory which everybody
admitted couldn't be beaten He had no
more notion Of becoming a soldier than
a cat has about SaHscriJ. In anticipa-
ton of the revision which was coming
on. he set about studying tariff He
learned the story Of all The Schedules
and Of all the tariff acts from the be-
ginning of things.
So it fell our that by the time that
famous bin had become law, Lord was
recognized by both Dingley and Aldrich,
as well as by Allison and the rest of
It's makers, and the greatest living ag-
gregation Of accurate tariff information.
President Mckinley had come u know
and ike him: in fact, knew him quite
well before he was elected President.
After the tariff act had passed Pres.
ident Mckinley indicated a desire to do
something neat for MI Ford The Span
ism war came on and Lord was offered
a commission as captain paymaster, and
sent to the Philippines. There his serv-
ice was excellent. his accounts we're
always accurate and complete, anc he
won promotion to a majority on his
merits He was quietly pursuing his
army career when the revision Of 1903
became imminent and Senator AIdrfch
sent for him. Could he help out the
Finance Committee again? Certainly.
Did he think he had preserved such ac-
curate recollection Of all those detailed
transactions Of twelve years ago as
would be reliable and secure? OF
course he had. He demonstrated right
away that he knew the old tariff law
by heart. and its history in every detail.
That settled H. He was detailed by
the army people for the special service
OF helping TO make the tariff bill, and
became the alter ego OF Senator AID
rich.
And friends who knew him VIII say
that If justice were done TO everybody
in tariff making affairs, this bill would
be known as the Lord bill.

Senaeor Borah of Idaho, who got his
start in life training and breaking

OF the nerviest men in Congress.
I've never had any question of
Borah's courage. said a friend of his,

on those charges preferred against him

Of that State OF being mixed up IN

done was TO advise a corporation on
certain legal questions submitted 20 nm
which so far as he knew had no bess5ng
OF violation of the land laws. When
che case got into court all BoTah did
was TO say: ! want this case .ried. /
don't want TO put in any demurrers or
anything else. Then he went on tho
stand Tor twenty minutes and tOlC- in
fun his connection with the matters at
issue and that was all there was 20 It..
