Republican party. Now. the Repub-
licans say. these Southern Democrats
will have to follow the lead Of Re-
preventative Broussard, who openly
came into the Republican fold to-day.
Texas is opposed to free hides.
Virginia objects to any reduction in a
peanut duty. Georgia and other
Southern states want the lumber du-
ties retained. Alabama and Tennes-
see want continued protection for
coal and iron. Louisiana insists upon
existing duties on sugar and rice.
Florida would even like to witness
a raising of the duties on citrus fruits
and went so far as to strongly urge
the committee to remove Egyptian
long staple cotton from the free to
the dutiable list.
Democrats Want Duty on Rice.
The inheritance tax, Philippine free
trade. internal revenue and maximum
and minimum features IF the new
bill are Endorsed by the minority lead
ers, and there has been much favor
able comment upon the measures by
Democratic congressman.
1t is understood the min ,rity lead
ers faver the removal of the restric-
tions on the quantity of sugar and
tobacco to be admitted from the
Philippines free of duty. On the
other hand, several Southern Demo-
Gratis are endeavoring to have the free
trade provision amended go as to ex-
clude rice, their contention being that
rice could be sent from the Philip
pines to the United States markets
and sold for 2 cents pound if admit
ted free from the islands. This.
they say. would ruin the rice industry
in this country.
A number of Democrats will join
with some Republicans in favoring
the continuation of the duty assessed
by the Dingley bill upon lumber. The
fight for free lumber will be headed
by Champ Clark. it is understood.
He has frequently expressed himself
iii bitter terms regarding the lumber
situation in this country. During the
tariff hearings he arraigned the lum-
Der maRnates and delved deep into
the intricacies of stumpage and rail
road land grants. 1t is not thought
there will be any serious opposition to
the tariff placed on tea.
Only Changes Will Be Increases.
1t is admitted that the only changes
in the bill which can be material will
be in the direction of increasing some
of the schedules. President Taft
demanded, and the party promised, a
revolution of the Dingley law in a
downward direction. The Ways and
Means Committee presented such a
bill to the House. Now only COM
binations of dissatisfied Republicans
with coterie Of protection Democrats
can bring about changes in the bill.
Consideration Of the measure has
not proceeded far enough in the coun.
try for the industries affected to be
heard from in protest, so that it is
impossible as yet to say along what
line the fight against the measure will
be conducted. The Republican lead
ers proposed to proceed without rule
or without an effort to limit debate
or to get q vote on any provision of
the measure until they hear from the
country and until there i. something
like unanimous drift on the part OF
the ma jority members Of the House il
support Of a proposed measure or 8
modified form of it.

The DEMOCRATS
ARE DEMORALIZED
SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS BREAK AWAY FROM
FREE TRADE THEORIES.
SUPPORT PROTECTION TARIFF
Payne Bill Will Probably Pass the House With
But Few Amendments Democrats Are
Smoked Out of0ld Tariff Posiionts.

Representative Broussard of Louis
'saa virtually read himself out of the
Ecmoe attic party this morning. His
action IN cooperating with the Re-
rnb.issssr ~ .nbers of the Ways and
Meant O. nmittee in reporting out
the tN.f bill without change. is so
considered. There are free preoic-
..'cns that many other Southern Demo-
.Sats will take similar action.
So far. no storm of protest has
come from any considerable number
of members, and the Republican
leaders are on the verge of predicting
that the bill will go through the
House without material amendment.
The more conservative and longer
headed ones, with the greatest legis-
lative experience. such as Speaker
Cannon, Representatives Payne. Dali
-zell and Boutell. the latter three of
the Ways and Means Committee,
says. "Wait until we>hear from the
country" and their attitude seems to
be the attitude of majority on both
sides of the House.
Democrats Badly Demoral1ed.
The Democrats find themselves in
much worse shape than they have ever
been in years. Champ Clark, who
has been doing all sorts Of brand new
stunts as the minority leader, has
reached the point where he refuses
to talk for publication. 1t 10 evil
dent he 10 adrift and has absolutely
no plan for minority action.
The Republican leaders who evolved
the new tariff bill get much satisfac-
tion from the confusion among their
Democratic opponents. They find
that whiie there are particular sched-
ulss in the bill which are not accept
able to certain parts of the country
and that this dissatisfaction is reflect
ed by the attitude Of few Republic
cans. that the real dissatisfaction
comes from very respectable minors
ty among the Democrats.
Senator Hale Is about the only Re-
publican who has openly voiced oppo-
sition to the bill. and he makes it
clear that it is because of the effect
upon local industry in his state-the
production Of print paper.
Mere Nay Follow Broussard.
The Republican leaders are finding
q deal of satisfaction in the necessity
which the Democrats. are under of ad-
hitting that the bill as reported is a
real revolution and with the dis
satisfaction Southern Democrats ex-
press toward the bill. They criticise
it partly because of the reduction of
duties on iron ore and the metals
generally, the proposal to admit hides
and soft coal free and the changes
made in relation to cotton and woolens.
The Republicans soy that the tariff
bill has had the effect of forcing most
of them into openly avowing that they
are adherents to the protective tariff
principle. Long ago this was realized
just as it has been that the race ques-
tion alone kept the Southern repre-
sentatives in the House out of the

graph, said the number Of CONNER

forty years ago was about 1000, and
that the number today is nearly or

ourselves open to the charge of Amer
lean braggadocio--but our Canadian
friends have the figures much too low.
The best estimate obtainable puts the
number of commercial travellers in the
United States at easily 100000. exclu-
sive of sales agents. solicitors, DEM

WITH THE TRAVELLERS
KANSAS and IOWA
new Hotel LAWS
U. c. r. IN THOSE STATES HAVE
WON BIG FIGHTS IN LEGIsLA-
TURE-RILLs HAVE BEEN AP-
PROVED BY THE HEALTH DE-
MENT.

The past legislative season has been
productive of two excellent hotel laws
enacted by the legislatures of Kansas
and Iowa. The Kansas law, Of which
much has been said in these pages,
provides for q strict regulation as to
safety and sanitation Of all hotels in
that state and the enforcement Of the
law is under the direction Of the Kan
sas state board Of health. The Kansas
law provides for outside iron fire es-
capes, red lights to indicate their To-
cation and an automatic gong placed
near the center of the building on each
floor which can be operated from the
office or ground floor. All hotels con-
tanning fifty or more rooms are re-
quired to keep on duty a watchman
shall be to patrol the house not less
than once every hour, also a rope of
such size and character as is approv-
ed by the state board OF health shall
be placed in each room and securely
fastened as an emergency fire escape.
Sanitary regulations requiring the use
Of clean sheets sufficiently land and
wide to reach the entire width and
length Of the bed with the upper sheet
to be folded back over the other bed
ding. Sanitary requirements are made
for the hotel kitchen, dining room, the
cellar, ice boxes, refrigerators and all
places where foods are kept, and for
the cleanliness of offices ana public
portions OF the house. The state board
of health is authorized to make any
rules. and regulations necessary to
carry the law into. effect. An inspec-
tion by representative of the state
board Of health is to be made at reg
ular intervals.
The enactment Of this law IL due
to the hard and earnest work OF mem
bers OF the u. c. T. of that state. The
bin was prepared by a committee ap-
pointed by Topeka Council No. AZ, with
instructions to cooperate with Broth
er Ed. Johnson, OF Atchison Council
No. SO, and Brother L. M. Penwell. of
Topeka Council No. AZ, both members
Of the legislature, and the state board
Of health. The bill was approved by
the health board as a department
measure and members Of the board,
together with Inspector Kleinhans,
who is a member OF Topeka Council
No. AZ, managed the canvass for the
enactment of the law. The hotel
keepers were much opposed to the reg
ulation feature of the law, but they
had no show when it came to the con-
sideration of the equity of the meas
ure The enforcement Of the law is
IN excellent hands as the Kansas
board of health has already given evi-
dence of the way it does business
The new hotel law in Iowa came
about through the earnest efforts of

ciai travellers organizations Of thai

The Comet is Coming.
Much curiosity and excitement viii
be caused next year by the return OF
Halley's comet, the largest and mos
spectacular that ever visited our solar
system during historic time. Astron-
omers cannot tell us the exact day
the comet will cross the earth's orbit
and therefore cannot determine
whether any danger threatens. 1t Is
not wholly impossible for q comet to
greatly injure the earth and less inn
possible that it might come so close to
the earth that animal and human
health would be impaired. The
chances however, are immensely
against any danger next year from
Halley's comet.
Probabilities are that we will see
in this comet the finest display and
the most wonderful eyer witnessed by
many people now living. This comet
returns every seventy-six years and
those who might remember its last
visit must now be at least so years
old.
Astronomers are not sure as to its
form during the coming appearance
