Washington Letter.

Special TO Tribune.
Washington, d. c., May 10: Senator
Aldrich is worried. His tariff bin is
not having the plain sailing which he
predicted. 1t is revision upward Mr.
Aldrich says there was no promise made
to revise the schedules downward
There are many republicans who have
different conception of the pledge
made in the Chicago Platform. These
men are not making spasmodic attacks
upon the bill. but they seem to have a
definite understanding to attack every
advance made in the Senate over the
Diugley rates or over the rates of the
House bill.
The desire 20 know the reasons for
the advance and their persistency may
be Judged from the fact that they STOOD
Mr. Aldrich and members of the finance
committee up for three days and ques-
toned them in regard to the lead sched-
ules.
The one fact which stands out above
all others in the tariff discussion is the
Lack Of knowledge on the part of Sena-
ror Aldrich or any member Of the f.
nance committee as to the reasons for
the increase in the schedules upon which
they have been questioned The show
ing of the finance committee was so
pitiabIe that Senator Burkett Of Ne
braska on the third day took the floor
and sharply lectured the members of
that committee for bringing in a bill
about which they were not adequately
informed and on which they were I'M
able to furnish information.
Senator Aldrich's reply was a little
sarcasm about the misfortunes Of the

Preventative versus Curative Medicine


All honor is due to him who intro

are due Laveran and Manson and Ross,
who have demonstrated that it is en-

tuberculosis and typhoid fever will soon

mystery of that awful scourge, cancer.
Today we join in thanks to FleXner,
who has given us a serum which is
curative in cerebro-spinal meningitis,
but there is even greater gratitude in
store for him who shall show how to
wipe out the disease.
We confidently believe the day is not
so far distant when disease will have
been compelled to yield her secrets to
man, and the physician will have indeed
become what he wishes to bea pre-

Rev. DIR. George A. Gordon has said,
"The mission of the church is not pri-

Physician and clergyman can thus meet
on a common ground, and join hands
in work for man, which shall not be

VINO is the Wise Civer.

There is growing tendency among
rich men to give their money to insti-
tutions, rather than to leave it to their
sons or grandsons. In America. money
is seldom handed down from generation
to generation in large estates. The
highest type of individual is he who
can see farthest into the future and
direct his actions so that they will be
operative for good fifty or one hundred
years hence. For this reason wise
givers, wise and loving parents, are
learning not to leave all their fortunes
to their children. Why? Because
there is a surer way of investing it, so
that it will yield interest to their chill
dren and grandchildren, than by handing
down to them swollen fortunes with
the accompanying evils.
The best inheritance any man can
have is an environment that promises
health, that gives opportunity to be
self-supporting and to make his own
fortune, in whatever way seems to him
most worth while. Not the man who
leaves money for his grandchildren s
education but he who gives money to
make the school system provide good
education for all children is the wise
giver. Not the man who builds mod
ell tenement, but he who enables his
town to enforce the tenement house
law that protects all tenements for all
time; not the man who gives home to
convalescent mothers and babies, but
he who gives a fund to teach the pub
lie to educate all mothers to save their
babies.
Our interest is no longer in the main
tenence of particular family, but in
a better race of Americans. e., in a
better environment.
The money of Americans is their con-
science, the use of it, if not the getting
of it, expresses an ideal-now health
ideal, now beauty, now government,

The Mysterious Taft.

Milwaukee News.
If we are to believe the Washington
dispatches President Taft is proving a
mystery to the republican statesmen
in congress. His attitude on the tariff
measure is causing no little uneasi-
ness. For it is recognized that if he
has the courage Of his convictions he
will be forced to veto it,
We are told that Mr.. Taft is holding
to the traditional view of the execu-
tive's function in legislation. He has
indicated to congress the need for tar
iff revision, but he does not purpose to
invade the prerogatives of the legisla-
tive department and participate in
framing the measure. After it shall
have been passed, he will approve or
veto it. as the circumstances may de-
mand.
Downward revision, we are told, is
insisted upon by Mr. Taft, and that if
the measure congress shall finally enact
does not provide for a general reduc-
ton Of duties he viii veto it,

ANTITRUST DECISION.

A decision of the first Importance has been
rendered this week by Judge Buckham in the
action brought at the instance of certain Owa-
tonna parties against the Creamery Package
Manufacturing company of Chicago and the
Owatonna Manufacturing company, says the
Mortified News. It alleged that these two
corporations had entered into an Agreement in
restraint of trade in violation of the statutes of
the State. The articles whose price they COM
bined to control are dairy and creamery sup
plies. The principal article of manufacture Of
the Owatonna concern is the Disbrow churn.
The Judge upheld both the contention of the
prosecution and the law itself, declared the
contract of the Owatonna concern with the
Creamery Package company void and barred
both defendants from doing business in this
State The case will probably be appealed to
the supreme court, but it is not thought likely
that the court will take the responsibility of
reversing Judge Buckham's decision. If the
in Minnesota in the sale of articles used in the
manufacture of dairy products the decision
cannot fail to prove of the greatest advantage
to the dairy interests and the people of the
State. The decision, too, will open the way for
attack on other combinations. If the dairy
combine be prevented from doing business

der to sell liquor to their memb bers has caused
wall of complaint from the cities, where some
! clubs will be compelled to take out licenses,
while others will find it impossible to dispense
liquor at all on account of being located in
prohibitive districts. The social club where Ii
uuor is dispensed is the rich mans saloon, and
the saloon is the poor mans club, and there is
no reason why each should not pay license to
sell liquor.
A bill has passed the House making the
office of public examiner elective. We think
! this is mistake and that the affairs of the
state would be better conducted if there were
more instead of less appointive officers. Little
! attention is paid by the people to the secondary
Offices on the state ticket, and the real choice
of these minor officers in made in convention
where political considerations govern. The
voters seldom think of more than one thing at
time, and the greatest interest is always center
| ed on the governorship. Better have the
governor appoint all the secondary offices in
the state as the president does in the nation,
than to load onto the voter the burden of select
ing officers in which he is not interested.

Considerable discussion has arisen over the
decision of Congressman Lindberg to leave the
selection of the postmaster at Little Falls to the
voters who vote at the coming city elect1ou A
separate ballot box will be provided, and all
who wish may express their choice for post
master. The St. Cloud Journal-Press strongly
objects to the plan, claiming that it will tend
still more to disrupt the party-an objection
which is true but not we'll taken Under the
present law, congressman like other candidates
have onlya personal and not party following
and if by having the postmaster chosen at an
election, Mr.. Lindberg keep his personal
following intact, even if he does disrupt the
party it will be more to his advantage than to
disrupt his personal following by making the
selection himself even if thereby he might keep
the party in better shape. Parties have become
disrupted and Mr.. Lindberg should not be
blamed for taking note of the conditions
and shaping his course acco rdingly
