congress IS In Speclal SESSION 10
fulfill the promise of the last Re-
publican national platform for the
revision of the tariff immediately on
the Inauguration of a new President.
That revision will be along pro-
lection lines. The platform on
which the President and the present
congress were elected declared
The aim and purpose of the Re
publican policy being not only to
preserve. without excessive duties,
that security against foreign cOmpe.
tition to which American manu-
facturers, farmers and producers are
entitled, but also to maintain the
high standard of living Of the wage
Garner of this country, who are the
most direct benefciaries of the pro-
tective system.
In this letter of acceptance Mr..
Taft laid stress upon "the Republic
doctrine of protection as definitely
announced by the Republican con-
vention of this year O90S) and by
previous conventions" He set forth
that tariff should be imposed that
will cover the difference in the cost
of production profit to the Ameri
can producer. These are the
promises of the platform and the
candidate, and the pledges on which
majority of Congress was elected.
They have unusual significance
for the country at this time. Busi-
ness will halt and wait for final
action on the tariff. That is un-
ayoidable, no matter how brief the
period may be, but business need
not be apprehensive; it is assured
the revision will be along protection
lines, and that the Republican doc
trine of protection will be upheld.
What is needed along the line OF
improvement work, phase too Oh
ten overlooked, is to educate and de-
velop taste in the child regarding
civic beautifying. When the grow
ing generation is interested in civic
Improvement the results need not
be feared. The present weakness
lies in the fact that but few are in
terested, and the vast majority are
Indifferent through ignorance. Conld
the first principles Of this grand
: work be taught to sshooi children
as u body the work of beautlfylng
the features would prove a simple
and easy task. Had the children
of the past generation been educated
in improvement work there would
be no need now of maintaining a
constant never ending fight for
street trees and other features of the
work without which beautiful towns
cannot be had. In dealing with the
subject at school it is not necessary
to delve into detail, but the pupil
should be instructed in the funda-
mentals.
Peter DIETRICH, the Danville hotel
man who on February 13 1906, shot
and killed James Jones as the result
of drunken argument in which
Dietrich's ability as a marksman
was questioned, was sentenced by
Judge Lynch in the Luzerne county
court at Wilkesbarre TO Il years i'm
prisonment in the county Jail and
the cost of prosecution. The sen
tence was on a verdict of voluntary
manslaughter. This was Dietrich's
fourth trial, the case finally having
been taken into the Luzorne court
on charge of venue. The case has
cost Montour county upwards of
$4,000.

The report of the L. $. Depart
ment of Agriculture and of the vari-
Gus journals devoting special attel-
ton to the potato trade, indicate q
short poteto supply, and it is proba-
bic that prices will be very high be-
fore the southern crop comes gen
orally into the market. And at that
the southern crop fills but verv
small part of the great general de-
mand of the North. 1t is the remI-
lar stock of cold potatoes on which
the millions depend until the next
northern crop begins to come into
market in July and August.
The crop of 1908 was about ten
per cent. short of normal. On Jan
uary 1,but fl per cent. of the crop re-
manned in the country, or about l23
milliOnbuShels. OF this 80 miIious
must be had for seed for that next
crop and that leaves but SO millions
to eat. AS for the first part of the
season 1876 million buhsels had been
consumed or exported. This leaves
us with scarcely half as much for
the latter part of the potato year, or
from January / on until the next
crop is ready, and this is the greater
half of the season.

Give business lift! Congress can
do nothing more important and the
only way to give business lift is ID
''Pass the tariff First"
This is more important than q
Sperker, House rules or House Com
mittees. Business waits. The tariff
blocks the way. Wages wait Pro-
fits wait. Mills are closed. Orders
are held up. Every day of delay
means loss.
Give business ii lift Let the new
tariff bill come out of committee at
once. Let the contry know its gen
ial lines, rates and principles with
out delay. Once out, trade will adj
just itself. Changes will be made, bat
the general lines will be maintained.
let the House and Senate take it up
together. In IA fortnight it will be
clear where both stand. Orders tor

Rhino the Most Malicious Brute.

From Hampton's Magazine.
If the genius OF hell used up all his
mental energy making a devil for the
animal Kingdom lie could not have
created a more uncertain, malicious and
ucly brute than the rhinoceros. This ami
NAL has buried more hunters than all
other big game combined. II seems 10
he the hired assassin OF the jungle. Its
success as homicide is not due to the
Iact that It seeks its victim. but because
its victim falls over It. If the rhino
knows that there IS an enemy about, 1t
will try TO get away without being seen.
II. On the other hand. it thinks that by
keeping stiu il will be passed unnoticed,
II STAYS as silent and motionless as
Gibraltar, its little hog eyes watching

Abolish Evil.

BY these provisions inforced with
reason, and drawn with IA view not to
be too drastic with railroads in the
beginning. we shall gradually abolish
that evil. which is involved in the
union of competing roads by one road
owning the stock of another. and We
shall prevent the oyer-issue of stocks
and bonds, so as TO prevent watering
and to keep the railroad efficient for
the service for wlieh it was intended.
In addition to amendments to the
law, which are looking to a rather
more drastic regulation of railroad
rates than heretofore, another proyi-
sion should be added by which rail-
roads may be permitted to agree upon
traffic rates and make contracts with
respect to rates that shall not be
pooling contracts. but shall constitute
agreements as to rates-proyided al
ways that such agreements shall re-
ceiye the approval of the commission
In this way the operation of the anti
trust law against traffic agreements
between railroads will be abolished.
and against their absolute prohibition
would be substituted requirement
that sucn agreements shall meet the
approval of a properly constitussf'
tribunal.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1909-09-21
Another Change.

a third amendment 10 the act
should provide that the commission
may suspend. modify or annul any
changes in the rules or regulations
which impose undue burdens on ship
pers. No doubt ought la he left with
respect to the power of the commits
sion ON such subject. because the
rules and regulations of a railway are
the means by which injustice may he
done to the shipper. II would seem
well to empower the commission To
compel connecting carriers To unite in
forming through rates and tn fix the
rate and the apnortianment therefor
among the carriers. The commission
should also be empowered To prescribe
the rules and regulations under which
the shippers shall have the privilege to
designate the route over which their
shipments shall he carried tn the des-
tinatian beyond THAT Of the first car
rier.
Another most important amend
ment of the interstate commerce COM
mission law. part nj which was spa-
officially promised i'm the platform. is n
prohibition against any interstate rail-
road company acquiring stock in any
competing railroad in the future. and
further provision that no railroad
engaged in interstate commerce shall.
after a certain date. hold stock I'm Il
competing railroad. and the further
amendment that after the passage Of
the amending act no railroad company
engaged in Interstate commerce shall
issue any additional stocks or bonds.
or other obligations. except with the
! approval nf the commission. based
upon finding by the commission that
the same are issued. first. for the pur-
passes authorized by law. and, second,
