CONCLUSION OF CONFERENCES
ON WOOL SCHEDULE Salts
FIEs WYOMING SENATORS.

Washington.-Pre Taft will
win his fight for free or reduced rates
OF duty on raw materials.
Nearly every member of the confer
ence on the tariff bill conceded this
Saturday.
The indications are that when the
new tariff bill becomes law the
rates on the articles which the Presi-
dent desired to come in free will be as
follows:
Iron ore. free (present rate 4Oc per
tom.
OH, free tnow protected by counter
vailing duty.
Hides. ~ per cent. ad valorem
(present rate, 10 per cent?.
Coal. i5c per ton present rates 67c).
Lumber. probably SIPS on rough.
with senate rates on finished. This
would be Il material reduction through
out the lumber schedule.
1t was not believed the President
would be able to put hides, lumber or
coal on the free list: but 1t was ac-
knowledged that any reduction in
rates of the pending bill on these art
icles would amount to an administers
ton triumph.
In effect the President was told by
the conference committee that If iron
ore. oil. coal, hides or lumber were
put on the free list. or the rates re.
duced below the figures adopted in the
Senate, "he would have to get the
votes"
II was recognized that IL would be
impossible to put hides, lumber and
coal on the free list II the conference
report was to be adopted by the Sen
ate. Neither was 1t believed rates on
these articles could be reduced.
That change OF sentiment has
taken place in the Senate In the mat.
ter Of free iron ore and free oil was a
matter of common gossip about the
capitol Saturday.
1t was stated Just as confidently
that the Is per cent. ad valorem rate
on hides would have to be cut in half.
The conferees on the tariff bill have
reached conclusion on the wool
schedule. Under tho agreement the
Dingley act rates on first. second and
third-class woods will be maintained
unchanged. There is change on tops
and reduction in cheap yarns.
The committee also lowers the

Smoot that they would be acceptable
to the wool growing states.

DURUM BREAD
DAY IS PROPOSED
PLAN OF DuRUM RAIsERs TO
FURTHER PoPULARIzE THAT
KIND OF WHEAT.
TESTSSH0WI ITS MERITS
SUBJECT WILL BE TAKEN UP IN
DRY FARMING CONGRESS
AT BILLINGS.

"Durum Bread Day" is the latest
Idea of the wheat growers of the Dry
Farming regions of the United States.
Already the farmers of the Dakotas
and Minnesota have petitioned their
respective governors to proclaim this
new agricultural day. and movement
is on foot in other states of the West
to have similar action taken.
In letter to Secretary Burns Of the
Dry Farming Congress, which will hold
its fourth sessions at Billings, Mont,
next October 26th.2Sth, Charles Chris
tadoro of Point Iona, San Diego, Cal.
regarded as the leading durum wheat
expert of the country. announces the
purpose of the proposed "Durum Bread
Day:
with a view of popularizing durum
flour, opening up new channels for its
use. increasing, consequently, the call
for durum wheat and, ultimately, rails
ing the price of durum wheat perhaps
to 81 bushel. the farmers of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota, at
their recent convention at Fargo, N.
D., asked the governor to proclaim
'Durum Bread Day. on which the
whole country would be asked to Join
In eating durum bread
If success follows the efforts of the
committee, durum wheat will become
popular wheat, the price will ad-
vance. and it will become an Ideally
profitable crop for the dry farmer to
grow. Dollar durum wheat means
everything to dry farming"
The durum bread idea will be car
ried into other western states and
housewives throughout the grain pro
ducing sections Of the country as well
as in the entire western agricultural
region will be asked to devote one day
in the year TO baking bread from flour
made from this variety of grain.
Concerning interesting tests with
this flour. Mr.. Christadoro, who has
made durum wheat his specially and
is regarded as an eminently competent
authority on cereals, says:
-Four years ago the United Statei
Department OF Agriculture demon
strated In an exhaustive, careful test
the superiority of durum flour as a
bread flour over the heretofore &c.
knowledged superlative flour made
from Minnesota spring wheat. From
each kind OF flour 200 loaves were
baked. and the 400 loaves were sent

HOW NEW POSTMASTER
SHOULD BE SELECTED.

The District of Columbia wants eff
cheney not office. The most short
sighted policy any community could
possibly adopt would be the filing of
all its offices with local men because
they are local men. The effect woIld
be the opening of a nest of boxes
each one smaller than the one before.
If there is superintendent of
schools needed, or a poundmaster, or
an engineer, or, indeed, any officer save
HIM who collects and outlays tae peo-
ple's money in the peoples name (when
it may be a special principle applies 4,
the search ought to be solely for the
best service. It ought never, under any
circumstances, to be for the gift of a
salary.
This is a truth the District ought TO
ponder deeply every time a vacancy
arises in post whose duties are highly
specialized. It is, however, a truth
which some of US seem to feel under
compulsion to suppress. Local offices
for local men" is the cry-and, like
every other call short-sighted in its
selfshness, it finds its echo.
A vacancy has now arisen in the post
of the City Postmaster. This is an Of
fee not highly technical There are un-
doubtedly men in the District who can
ill 1t with entire acceptability to every
body. Mr.. Barnes was such man
and if he was not a local appointee,
after twenty years of residence here,
after having spent his youth here in
the employment which occupies the
great majority of our workmen, it
would be hard to tell who was.
But If there is a better man to be
found outside the District than can be
found here, that outsider should be ap-
pointed. There is no use in getting
purpI faced about it. That is the only
course the President can follow for the
good of the whole District.
The important thing is that the selec-
ton shall be made on that account and
no other. Appointments of outsiders
on any other grounds than merit are
even worse than appointments of local
men on any other grounds. Because
they not only foment dissatisfaction,
but put important responsibilities in
the hands of men manifestly not
chiefly concerned in the right fulfill
ment of those responsibilities.

for a decade past, has been to get it
to stand the test of the court; not to
satisfy public demands; not even to
get it through Congress; but to get past
the Supreme Court with it. OF what
use, then, for Mr.. Taft to urge a
progressive legislative program, and
then appoint to this fve-to-four court
a man whose voice would be against
the whole program?
There has never been a time when a
single appointment to the Supreme
Bench involved so many great poten-
tialities as it does in the present case.
Mr.. Justice Peckham wrote the traffic
association opinions, and in each case
was sustained by a bare majority of
the court. If now a man should be ap-
pointed who should take the opposite
view of the fundamentals involved in
those cases, the decisions might be over
turned, or at least further progress in
applying their principles to actual ad-
ministration of our great problems
might be stopped
Should the President consider a mans
views on specific questions when he is
seeking a Supreme judge? Should the
Senate consider those views and ten
denotes, when confirming? OF course
they should; they inevitably must, and
do, and viii; and it is the worst bosh
to say they should not. The President
is given the power to appoint, and the
Senate the power 10 confirm or reject,
in the expectation that they viii use
intelligence. If the views of men are
not to be considered in appointing
Supreme judges, then the correct
method would be to line up all the
lawyers in the country who have never
been in jail, pick one by lot, and have
the Senate, if as umpire it finds the
lottery was honestly managed, confirm
him.

ROTTENNESS IN THE Gus
TOMS SERVICE.

Collector William Loeb, jr-, Of the
port of New York, who had rare
course of training in the administration
Of public office under Theodore Roose-
velt, appears to have succeeded in stir
ring up the animals IN the metropolis.
He has been largely responsible for
bringing to light system of graft in
the customs service there which has
cost the Government millions Of dol
lars. Without doubt the rottenness
which is now being uncovered has pre-
vailed for years. One authority de-
elares it has existed for a half century.
Nobody can tell what the Treasury
has lost as the result of it.
Indications are that the lid has been
but partially lifted, and not thrown
open entirely, and that when the whole
truth is laid bare it will be sensational
in the extreme. Many subordinates,
such as weighers, have been involved,
and a few higher officials have been
smirched, but the real head of the
system has not been uncovered. Indi-
viduals higher up are likely to be
reached before the end of the revela-
tions.
Judge Holt of the circuit court has
taken occasion to critieise Collector
Loeb because he has retained in office
q few weighers who confessed and were
promised immunity. It was through
these confessions the exposures have
come. Judge Holt says the dishonest
weighers should be thrown out Of office
and honest weighers should not be ask
ed to associate with them. BE may be
right cS-vt this in the abstract. Prob
ably they ought not be retained, but
the fact remains nevertheless that had
they not been promised immunity the
Government would not have got the
valuable information it possesses.
What happens to a few small crooks Is
Of far less Importance than to reach the
real authors Of the crime and to break
up the thoroughly corrupt system
which has been allowed to obtain. It
is q cheerful business, this, which com
peIs the American people TO bear tariff
burdens and allows some of the in
terests which foist those tariff burdens
on the public to escape paying duties
by frauds.
Collector Loeb is doing good work,
and Judge Holt's criticism should not
be allowed 20 obscure that fact

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

How utterly ruinOus and subversiVe
are the effects of government owner
ship and operation Of public service
facilities is being once more demon
strated in connection with the postal
telephone and telegraph facilities in
Great Britain.
Stree these services were taken over
and made part of the postoffiee depart
ment--as they are, by the way, in most
civilized countries except the United
States-tbe expense Of service has been
much reduced, the character Of service
has been greatly improved, rates are SO
low that they are hardly believable to
Americans, and the business has been
earning so much money that the gov
ernment has entered upon the definite
policy of placing all telegraph and teYs-
phone wires underground
This is going TO be done, not all at
once, but gradually, as the surplus in
the revenue viii permit, The main
tenance of overhead wires Is one of
the greatest expenses, as also it is one
Of the guarantees of imperfect service.
With the great trunk lines already be-
ing placed underground at a rapid
rate, service is improving and the ex-
pense is so fast being reduced that still
further reduction of rates viii shortly
be made possible.
In Great Britain the telephone and
telegraph services are a monopoly-of
the government. In the United States
they are shortly to become a monopoly
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
In Great Britain rates nave been
