Expression of Popular Sentiment.

new 1Ork world.
The tariff plank unanimously adopted by
the Nebraska republicans in convention as.
sembled is, in our opinion, so adequate an
expression of popular sentiment that Mr..
Taft can make no mistake in being guided
thereby.
The average American knows little OF the
technicalities of tariff schedules. He can
not discuss the rates authoritatively, and
even with the full text Of the bill he could
not determine what the duty would be on
each article, or whether that duty was
moderate or excessive.
He has a very keen understanding, how
ever, of fraud and false pretenses and
broken faith. He has watched the process
by which the Aldrich tariff was made, ani
he realizes that the power of the Rhode
Island senator and his followers has been
exerted consistently on the side Of privi-
lege and plutocracy.
He has seen no evidence of a desire on
the part of the senate majority to redeem
republican campaign promises or to reduce
the cost OF living or to champion the side
Of the people against the special interests
that clamor necessarily for new opportuni-
ties to tax the country for their own finan-
cial profit.
II the republican leaders think this is
merely a quarrel over schedules and rates
they are sadly mistaken. The issue lies
between political honesty and political DIS
honesty, and that is an issue concerning
which the American people, regardless Of
party, have strong convictions.

Nebraska Republicans Sound Keynote

Eastern Press Has Experienced No Trouble to Grasp the
Meaning of the Tariff Plank Recently Promulgated.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-02
New York Tribune.

New YORK Tribune.
The platform adopted by the repub-
lican state convention in Nebraska ought
to open the eyes Of the tariff reactionaries
in congress. 1t takes note Of the efforts
Of the senate to nulifv the substantial
downward revision accomplished in the
tariff bill which passed the house Of rep
resentatives. BY a unanimous vote the
republican party in Nebraska ranges Itself
on the side OF the house OF representatives
and the president and emphatically com
mends the president for his firmness in
insisting that any tariff law passed at
this session shall make good the prom
Uses of the last republican national plat
form. The endorsement of the presidents
attitude is complete.
Nebraska leads the way in expressing
what is undoubtedly the sentiment OF the
great body of republican voters in all
parts of the union. 1t Is a representative
middle western state, close politically, with
q tendency to robust partisanship. It's
declarations reflect the IDEAS and feelings
Of the people OF many neighboring states.
and the unanimity of opinion shown at
Lincoln indicates that the demand for a
progressive tariff policy comes from the
mass of the voters and is not merely a
creation Of the politicians. There is prob
ably no state in the middle west In which
nine-tenths of the republicans do not SYM
pathize with the program of the president
and the house OF representatives There
are probably not half a dozen states in
the union In which local interests, seeking
special favors, would be strong enough to
make a serious fight for the senate's
program on a direct appeal to the rank
and file Of the party. 1t is the great tao
tical advantage Of the president in the
present tariff negotiations that he has
time on his side and the people behind
him. The country will sustain him in
holding out for a redemption of what he
rightly considers the pledges OF the ma.
tional platform on which he was elected,

A GOOD REASON
Why Peary Did Not Bring Homo

Bar Harbor, Me. Sept. 26.-General
Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic
Club, when shown the dispatch from
New York tonight to the effect that
DR.. Cook had received cable from
Harry Whitney saying that Command
or Peary refused to take DR.. Cook S
box of data and instruments aboard the
Roosevelt said that Commander Pear,
did not mention any such circum-
stance to him during the conference
with the Arctic explorer last Thursday
General Hubbard said that undoubtedly
Peary felt that inasmuch as DIR. Cook had
intrusted the data to Mr.. Whitney it was
quite important that Mr.. Whitney should
retain sole custody of it. Gen. Hubbard
left it to be assumed by his remarks that
Commander Peary did not desire to have
custody of the records which would play
so important part in controversy with
DR.. Cook.
General hubbard said that he expected
Mr.. Peary here tomorrow evening and
that they would consider the proofs which
Peary turned over to him concerning the
Cook controversy.

Wire Rods.

Bars of metal four inches square are
heated and passed while hot and plas-
tic through rapidly revolving rolls, re-
ducins them TO wire rods which vary
from one-guarter of an inch to an inch
or more in diameter. depending upon
the finished size of wire wanted.
These rods, which are formed in coils
as they pass through the rolls. are
dipped in acid baths to remove loose
scale and provide lubricant for
drawing. Drawing consists of pulling
rods while cold through holes of gradu-
ally decreasing diameter drilled in steel
plates. During the process the parti-
Giles Of metal become elongated and
strained. making the wire harder and
more brittle. TO restore it to a proper
temper it is necessary to heat or an
neal it.
When a fine diameter is required
there must be repeated annealings and
drawings. This may be done until the
bar. which originally was four inches
square and four feet long, becomes re-
duccd to a diameter of a single thou
sandtn of an inch and extended $1,000
miles in length. Before SO fine a size
is reached the wire will cut into the
steel Of the die plate, so the usual die
latcs must be discarded and the draw
ing continued through holes drilled in
Diamonds. the diameter of these dia-
mond dies decreasing by fractional
parts of a thousandth of an inch. This
wire affords a striking Illustration of
a material made more valuable by the
application of labor.
From the time the bar of metal en-
tcrS the furance nothing is added to
it. All the work is done with one arti-
Gle. which is passed through rolls and
drawn through die plates until it is
finished. The wire is made from an ex-
ira high grade of steel worth in the bar

the price of the greater bulk of STEEL
In the finished wire the value is in
creased from cents to $50 pound.
Wire for fencing and the common
grades If so-called market wire do not
involve high labor cost and sell at a
small advance above the price of the
metal bar. Other wires drawn for
more eXacting purposes sell at higher
prices. Wire one ne-thousandth of an
inch in diameter is of course excep-
tional, being prepared for delicate
electrical tests of such Importance that
it is deemed advisable to go to great
expense to make it exactly the required

Two features connected with the sail
ing Of the fishing skiffs used hereabouts
are new to me. One is that of using
a member of the crew as shifting bal
last. A plank is run out over the side,
the inner end caught under the lee
washboards, while on the outer end
with legs dangling over the water sits
the man acting as ballast. And this
not in racing, mind you, but in every
day sailing. The other is the practice
of "nodding," as | heard it called. In
moderate weather when the skiff is
only lightly gliding along one man
will stand up alongside the center
board on the weather side, and facing
outward will steadily rock sidewise
from one foot to the other with the idea
that it makes the boat sail faster.
