what feature of the bill would work

heard much of it, there is a joker in
the tariff bill, in section o. said the

Worst in Measure.
This feature of the bill is far and
away the most iniquitous proposition
contained in the measure, and it is
going to be hammered unmercifully
before the Payne-Aldrich bill becomes
law. 1t is so unjust because of the
excessive protection it gives to all ar

Senator Aldrich should drop 1t from
the bill. If the feature to which / am

high cost of living that is sure to fol
low.
The joker is built up in three Ger

Events Begin Promptly.
Promptly at 3 o'clock the crews in
the four-oared race rowed up stream
to the starting mark, and from that
time on the program went through with
promptness. The freshmen eight fol-
lowed sharply on the heels of the var
sity four. and then came the varsity
eight.
At the first mile Cornell had a lead
of three-quarters of a boat length over
Syracuse, with Columbia third, Wiscon-
sin fourth, and Pennsylvania last.
Columbia continued to cut down the
lead of the two crews ahead. Cornell
held her lead at the mile and half
