Champ Clark Talks.

The Democrats had their innings
when Champ Clark OF Missouri, their
leader, arose to present their view OF
the bill The ovation to him was NO
less sincere than that accorded Payne,
Clark declared the president had been
grossly misled as to the nature OF
this report. that instead of reduc-
ton being made on hundreds of items
the cut Is only on half a dozen
Clark gave the president credit for
honestly desiring downward revision
Of the tariff, but insisted that he has
been deceived by experts. He pre-
scented a tabulated statement to prove
his assertion that the revision was
not downward
l. Discussing the maximum and mini
mum provision Clark declared it to
be an idiotic policy to go out hunting
trade with club and meat axe.
People will trade With Us only If We
trade with them, he said. If he had
his way, he remarked, he would force
every citizen of the republic to com
nit TO memory President Mckinley's
Buffalo address in which he declared
that If the United States wanted an
outlet for its products it must buy
other peoples products.

Washington. July 31.-The house
tonight adopted the conference re-
port on the tariff bill 1875 to 1873. The
Republicans shrieked in their de
light over the final outcome, and
Chairman Payne was the central fig
ure OF an admiring and congratulatorJ
crowd of colleagues.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the report and two Democrats for It,
The vote was the climax of an eleven
hours session, conducted through the
most oppressive heat, but nOtwith-
standing that it Was enliyened by a
dozen or more speeches of a more or
less fierce nature, Tho temperature
did not deter a vast throng from go
ing TO the capitol to witness the clos
ing scene
Looked Like Flibusters.
The day opened with what appeared
TO be part of the organized filibuster
against the conference report, when
Mondell. of Wyoming, demanded the
reading of the lengthy document. This
proceeded for an hour and haf,
when with about twothirds remain
ing to be read, Mondell permitted the
debate to go on, Payne defended the
report and appealed to his Republi-
San colleagues ato support II. prophe-
sying at the same time that when the
bill was enacted into law It would
meet with the approval of the coun'
try.
Payne's Plea.
I'VE have revised the taviff and
taken off the unnecessary duties
said Payne, mot all along the line
generally, but in our revision of The
tariff we have revised the tariff
downward and yet have held the
scales so evenly that we could have
done no injury to any person or in
dustry in the United States
These rates increase he revenue
from customs less than $4,000,000.
The corporation tax is estimated 10
produce $26.000,o00 and tobacco nine
and ne-third million dollars" He
placed the increase of revenue at
about st0,00O,O0O which he said is
revenue enough, when this bill gets
into working order. to supply the nee
essary demands of the government
except to build the Panama canal.
We will leave that to another genera
ton. We have provided the funds
that will establish the policy of his
government in that respect.
The Dingley law during all its pc.
Rod Of existence has proved ample
revenue, and there is no doubt that
this law will do the same fer another
twelve years, he continued. Let us
pass il gentlemen on this side OF tho
house The duty is ours, the time
has arrived.
Got Great ovation.
There will come in another bill one
of these days, but in the meantime
the wheels Of industry will stop, en-
terprise will be paralyzed, the Coun-
try will stand still or will move back
ward and you will curse the day
when you failed to 60 with the great
majority of your party, your presi-
dent having lent his approval TO this
bill.
Let us pass the bill and give ioy
and happiness to the people of the
United States. Let us start the re.
naming idle wheels of industry; let
us put every man who wants to work
at work"
Thunderous applause greeted Payne
as he took his seat.

Stupendous Fakes.

Stupendous Fakes.

most stupendous fake in the history
' of mankind. Longworth, of Ohio,
member of the committee on ways
and means, defended the corporation

would henceforth be a part of the ifs.
cal policy of the government.
Perhaps the most sensational speech
of all was by Mann, of Illinois, Repuh
lican, who said he would vote against
the report provided the rates on pulp
and print papers as reduced by the
house, were not retained This dec
laration moved the Democrats TO
loud applause.
Mann declared that congress IS
confronted with situation where
the Canadian government has reached
the conclusion that possibly, if not
probably, the dominion would be JUS
titled absolutely forbidding the expor-
tation of raw material.
Under the maximum and minimum
clause, he said, the charge of $1G7
per ton on wood pulp would be in
creased to sGG7 per ton.
That maximum he exclaimed.
Is as sure TO 60 into effect between
Canada and this country as God made
little apples, unless Canada removes
her restrictions on the expectation Of
pulp" Mann said that all Canada
needed to do was to stand pat and
say: You have got to have our pa
per and pulp in some form. You will
take it in the form of paper from us '
Canada is Wise.
Canada, said Mann, lis as wise and
as keen as the best leaders of the Re
publican party They will know, he
asserted THAT they hold the whip
hand; that they have the wood pulp
and that without obtaining conces
sions from this country which are far
to urge they will maintain for Canada
the right to manufacture within hec
own borders her own wood pulp, and
price which she fixes upon it,"
Should Canada prohibit the expor
tation of wood pulp, Mann argued,

that instead of revision of the tariff

COUNCILS WISDOM

I OS ANGELES city council is en-
/ titled TO great credit for its quick
= response to the popular demand
that legislation shall be adopted which
will make the Fourth of July in Los
Angeles sane and safe. BY instructing
the city attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of high ex-
plosive frecrackers the councilmen
showed appreciation of the Importance
Of the sane Fourth" agitation.
Councilmen expressed regret such a
law had not been in force before Mon
day, when the largest number of ac-
cidents from fireworks occurred" Los
Angeles Herald shares their regret,
having a keen recollection of the fact
that for a long time prior TO the
Fourth it kept hammering away" at
officials and all others concerned,
pointing out from week to week and
from day to day the Importance of
legislation which would save human
life and limb on Independence day.
The Herald regrets the local news
reports as we'll as reports from all over
the country should have been needed
to compel finally the action it has been
advocating. We sincerely hope that
long before Independence day, 1910, the
lives of boys and girls and men and
women all over the United States will
be guarded by measures prohibiting
the sale of dangerous explosives
which menace life on a day devoted to
celebrating the fact freenlen in the
United States secured fteir inalienable
rights to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness.

CIVILIZATIONS DISGRACE

w HILE copies of the works of
w Charles Dickens are still being
sold by the thousand, while
new editions are being advertised from
time to time, while publishers are
making money from selling reprints of
his works, while his popularity among
readers is as great as ever, his four
granddaughters have been rescued
from destitute poverty by the Brit
ish government. which for sheer shame
has granted them civil list pension of
$3.50 per week, apiece.
1t may be right that published words
should be placed on a far more exalted
plane than any other kind of art but
it is not right to insist on the ethi-
cal superiority of literature by depriv-
ing heirs of literary men of the usu-
fruct of literary product. In literature
of all Notwithstanding newspaper lit
erature-there is more injustice than
in any other occupation or profession.
If Charles Dickens had been a highly
successful speculator, and had left a
huge fortune made from gambling; if
he had been a shrewd and industrious
wealth of a Carnegie; if he had been
a banker and financier like ]. Pierpont
Morgan, his family would not have
been allowed to become impoverished.
There are wealthy people of the third
and fourth generation both in the
United Kingdom and the United
States.
Owing to the ability or the thrift of
their ancestors, the wolf cannot visit
their door. In the island of Great
Britain are modern representatives, of
old families who brag they are wealthy
and do not need to work, because one
of their ancestors twenty generations
back painted gilt rim around a royal
dinner plate to the vast delight of
Ye Kings Most Sacred and Excellent
Majesty, and was rewarded for the
conceit by the gift Of an estate. But
In hoary old Britain, rotten with "privi-
lege" and menaced far more by the
antiquated barbarity which maintains
one class at the expense of another
than by any German invasion, the
granddaughters of Charles Dickens,
who is still working for the nation
and for the race, and is making money
for booksellers in every city of the En-
glish speaking world, must be put on
special pension list "in considera-
tion of their straitened circumstances"

GOLDEN RULE TREATMENT
OF OFFENDERS SUGGESTED

Los ANGELES, June 29.-[Editor
Herald: Recently l read in The Her
aid an article descriptive of the work
of Brand Whitlock, the successor of
Golden Rule" Jones as mayor of To-
ledo. 1t dealt with his we'll known
work on crime-"The Turn of the Bal
ance"-and was distributed by the
Prison Reform league. Now l see that
another Ohio man, Chief of Police
Kohler, Cleveland's golden rule po-
liceman," as he is called, has been
giving the convention of his brother
chiefs at Buffalo a heart to heart
talk.
He told them that he instructed his
men to save trivial offenders rather
than run them in, and showed that
under the first year of his regime there
were 20, 1888 fewer arrests than there had
been the previous year. He declared
his policy had been complete success
About this time last year our own
district attorney rushed into print with
the statement that this county showed
527 convictions to San Francisco's 400,
and that we were Furnishing" 40 per
cent more than was the northern city.
He boasted of this showing.
Here we have two distinct policies.
One is that Of giving the offender a
chance. The chief of police of Cleve-
land tells his Drother OFFICIALS that ne
has found it highly successful. Judge
Mckenzie Cleland of Chicago and
many others give similar testimony.
The other policy is that of our district
attorney. His attitude is run them
all in, and the more you catch the
more praiseworthy the showing" One
of these policies is right and one is
wrong, and 1 should think it is up to
our dignitaries of the bench, our lead
ing lawyers and our high priced off,
cials to see that Los Angeles adopts
the best policy. Yes; it is distinctly
up to them. G. 7. SPRADING.

fes to the forehandedness of all the
preparations for the visit Of "all Elk
DOM" The Los Angeles registration
office was opened yesterday, and from
now on Los Angeles will exclude prac-
tically all other business cares and de-
vote itself to the business of hospital
ity. There is not the slightest doubt
that in this as in anything else to
which Los Angeles devotes attention,
the royal supremacy of the Queen Of
the South will be established. With
an ideal climate and ideal people who
breathe an ideal air, it Is natural an
ideal reception should be prepared for

While all the details Of the enter
tainment of guests are being attended

emphasis on the warning of Chairman
Motley II. Flint Of the executive COM
mittee that care should be taken that
ample provision is made for feeding
all our visitors. The Ellls and Their
friends must "browse" regularly, and
their meals should be square. Mr..
Flint suggests that church societies,

dividuals open restaurants and sand

SPEED REGULATION

WRUE friends of automobiling
everywhere are heartily in favor
n of regulating the speed of auto
mobiles within the city limits. Reck-
less driving is a crime, and it should
be punishable by imprisonment. Every
automobile owner would rejoice to
see the great cities of the United States
establish deterrent penalties for speed
ing which would really have a deter
rent effect. To fine a speed maniac
does not punish him. 1t merely an
noys him.
The object of punishment is not to
annoy, but to teach the punished per-
son a lesson which may have a re-
formatory effect. TO fine wealthy
offender, who can pay the fine, is
merely as it were to set a price on
law breaking. The careless automobile
owner or driver with long purse finds
he can pay the price. Is man who can
pay a price punished when a bill is pre-
sented to him and he is asked to set
tie? Assuredly not. Then why expect
the settlement of the bill presented to
the speed maniac to act as a punish
ment?
1t is not at all surprising there is an
increasing sentiment throughout the
United States in favor of substituting
Imprisonment for fine in ALL cases of
overspeeding for which reasonable
excuse cannot be made. For instance,
we believe it is generally agreed a
