LOVING CUP FOR CoR1ElYOU
RETIRING SECRETARY HONOR
ED BY LATE ASSOCIATES.
Controller Tracewell Pays Tribute
of Respect and Affection in
Graceful Presentation Speech.

In the presence Of number of officials
of the Treasury Department. George
Bruce Cortelyou, the retiring Secretary
of the Treasury, was yesterday present.
ed with a large silver loving cup, the
parting gift of his assistants during
the past four years. The presentation
was made in the room Of Assistant Sec
retary Winthrop at $50 o'clock. just
after the new Secretary. Franklin Mac
Veash, had been sworn in.
Robert J. Tracewell, the controller of
the Treasury, who made the presentation
speech, among other pleasant things,
said:
Mr.. Cortelyou: For the past two
years it has been your duty. when the
exigencies Of public business demanded
to sit in judgment on the Official acts
of men by whom you are no" surronna- ,e,
ed These judgments have been lnVa-
riably most considerate and always IN a
spirit Of fairness. 1t is now our privi-
lege to pass judgment upon your aamin-
Is ira tion Of the important office of Sec
retary OF the Treasury. which you have
lust Vacated We want to tell you the
truth at parting, although 1t be be- accom- com
plished with faltering tongue ana With
out the flowers of rhetoric. We claim
but one merit-that of sincerity.
Met All Expectations.
You came 10 Hedu the sIedl btp"i u
ment of the Treasury, with executive eX-
perience gained by having been the head
of two other great executive departments
OF tho government-the Department of
Commerce and Labor and the Post ONCE
Department. The organization of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, ana a
splendid one it is, is the creation OF your
brain and labor, and will be an inner
itance more valuable than great riches to
YOUR childMn and their children's chill
dren Much was expected of you when
YOU were called to head this, the greatest
of all the great executive departments OF
the government. How we'll you have full
filled these expectations 1t is our pride
and privilege to bear witness.
The Treasury Department, with its
pared to a great ana complicated piece of
machinery, 1t stands In its correlation.
complexity and Importance to the other
executive departments as do our bodies
to an ordinary machine made with human
hands. 1t requires a master hand to
cause it to perform its various and varied
functions those for which it was or
dained, without jar or friction.
This you have accomplished as few
Of your predecessors have done, and dur
ing your incumbency the machine has run
as steadily as q piece Gf clockwork.
1T Is now my pleasant duty to present
you, as token OF the respect, esteem
and admiration in which you are held by
the officers Of the Treasury who have
served under you, silver loving cup.
whose polished surface is no brighter or
cleaner than is your record as Secretary
Of the Treasury.

not have to pay. The trust is pro-
tected in two ways against the indie
pendent manufacturer-first in the
duty the tariff ON iron ore imposes on
the independent manufacturer, rs
cents; second, in the protection it
affords the trust, rs cents, making
difference in favor of the trust over
the independent manufacturer of so
cents a ton. This sort of discrimina-
ton in favor of the trust against the
Independent steel manufacturer, which
it was the purpose of the democratic
senators who voted against the rate
on iron ore, to remove, may be sound
democracy, but the Times Herald
does not think it sound political econ
omy or in consonance with the partys
position on the trust question when it
is further understood that the iron
industry of the south exists upon
trust sufference only
No one will deny that the advantage
is offset many times over by the I'M
just burden it places upon the indie
pendent steel manufacturer and the
consumers of the finished articles.
And this in spite of the dictum of
Carnegie that steel is no longer in
need of protection.
One can easily understand why the
cattle raisers of Texas should favor
the duty on hides, but here again we
are confronted with the question of
whether after all, in the last analysis,
the duty does not really innure to the
benefit of the beef trust instead of
the cattle raiser on account of its
commanding position as price-fixer
in its line, while the cotton planter
has long since learned that the way,
the only way, to maintain the price of
cotton is through organization and
combination upon the part of the
planters.
This just to keep the record
straight-Dallas Times Herald.

DEMOCRATS AND TARIFF VOTES

An esteemed contemporary, the
Fort Worth Record, prints the follow
ing:
Texas has sixteen democrats in
congress; fourteen of them voted for
tariff on hides, two of the fourteen
also voted for a tariff on lumber
Mark Sullivan in Golfers Weekly.
Southern democratic congressman
defeated free lumber, democratic SEN
ators are opposed to free hides and
southern democratic senators, led by
Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey, are OPP,
posed to free iron ore Seventeen
democratic senators voted for an in
crease of duty yesterday on iron ore -
Dallas Times Herald.
Both critics quite ignore the es,
sential fact that the tariff is supposed
to be a revenue measure and seem
not to comprehend the just principle
that every part of the country is en-,
titled to share equitably in the Incl,
dental protection afforded by even
purely revenue duties"
The Record goes on to state that
Senator Bailey, in discussing the duty
on iron ore, made plain that the pro
posed rate (25 cents a tom would not
materially affect, if it would affect al
all, the price of manufactured steel
while it would yield a considerable
revenue, estimated at some 100000 q
year, on Canadian imports. This is
true, as the steel trust, as the manu-
facturer of rs per cent of the stee
rails and 100 per cent of the wire
wire nails, tin plate goods and bridge
material used in the United States, i!
in position to fix the price at which
the Independent steel manufacture
must sell and pay the duty on iror
ore, the steel trust enjoying a monop
oily of 80 per cent of the country's ore
beds.
The advantage the steel trust en-
joys over the Independent manufac
turer is easily stated. If the trus
fixes the price at $2S a ton, that il
the price at which the Independent
manufacturer must sell or go out o
business. Cost of production bein
the same in both cases, the independ
ent manufacturer, as a non-produce
of iron ore, finds himself at a doubl
disadvantage in competing wit
the trust. He must pay rate c
twenty-five cents a ton on every to
of ore he uses, which rate operates a
protection to the trust, and whic
the trust, as producer of ore, doe

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
THE MIDDLE HORSE.

A farmer, blowing with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed
that the middle horse became
tired and exhausted long before
either of its mates. AS the ami
NAL was the equal in every way
of the other two, he was puzzled
as to the cause of its not being
able to stand the same amount of
work. He finally observed, how
ever, that as they drew the pillow
along the three horses held their
noses close together, and with
the result that the middle horse
was compelled to breathe the ex-
pired air from its fellows. The
farmer then procured a long
"jockey" stick which he fastened
with straps to the bits of the out
side horses. The device worked
perfectly; for, given its rightful
share of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount of work and with no
greater fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like the mid
die horse; they do not get their
riehtfuI share eff fresh, pure air.
And this is why they are not able
to perform as much work nor of as
good quality as they would 9th
erWise be able to do.

of the dishonest operations of a gang
of financial pirates with headquarters
in New York City, and which extend
ed to the remotest sections of the
commonwealth as a result of enforced
suspension of cash payments by the
banks and trust companies that had
over loaned the peoples money to en-
terprises promoted in times of great
est prosperity on a capitalization con-
sisting principally of combination OF
watered stock and hot air.
With these conditions Governor
Campbell had about as much to do as
he did with the recent uprising of the
Young Turks and the Imprisonment
of the Sultan of Turkey; but he was
nevertheless blamed with them and
in the race for his second term there
was strong and resourceful oppo-
sition organized against him which,
under stronger leader, might have
caused his friends to fear a similar
outcome to that which, probably, with
no better reason, prematurely re-
moved from the activities of public
life for time Governor Hoke Smith of
Georgia. Texas, however, was spared
the effects of such a'mistake and the
administration has been allowed to
carry its policies to successful is
sue and to let the people judge by
the results and not by their fears of
what the results might be.
History will record that this admin
istration has been characterized by
successful efforts to have the public
taxes laid equitably and uniformly,
to have the public revenues wisely
and economically expended, to pre-
vent the encroachment of corporate
power and organized selfish and spec
ial interests ON the rights of the in
diYidual citizen; and last, but by no
means least, to see that the laws of
the state were strictly and impartial
ly enforced. No administration can
realize perfectly its ideals; but so long
as the public believes that its pub
lie servants are striving honestly, ably
and consistently to realize the aims
above set forth the administration
will merit and hold the confidence,

GOVERNOR cAPRELL's ADMINS
TRATIoN.

The adjournment of the Thirty-f1rst
legislature has brought to the front a
general discussion of the net results
of the present state administration,
and in the light of its actual achieve
ments in the enactment and enforce
ment of the law the Democrat be-
lieves that the verdict as whole is
decidedly favorable.
The charge that the administration
has been unfriendly to capital and
especially to foreign investments OF
capital, would probably never have
been seriously considered but for the
uneasiness and unrest begotten by
the panic of 1907 which came as a re
suit of the elimination and exposure
