TAFT AND THE TARIFF,

President Taft is.evidently in earn
est about carrying out the pledge in
the Republican platform for the revis-
ion, of the nhlgley tariff act. In his
Inaugural address he said:
"a bill revising the, Dingley tariff
should secure an adequate revenue and
adjust the duties in such manner as
to afford to labor and to all industries
in this country, whether of the farm,
mine or factory, protection by tariff
equal to the difference between the cost
of production, abroad and the cost Of
production here and have a provision
which shall put into force, upon ex-
ecutive determination Of certain facts,
q higher or maximum tariff against
those countries whose trade policy To-
ward us equitably requires such dis.
examinations"
President Taft has. lost no time In
calling an extra session Of Congress
to tackle the pcrplexing problem Of
tariff revision, and next Monday Con-
gress will meet for that purpose.
Everybody will wish Congress success
in framing tariff bill that will be just
and fair to. producers and consumers
alike, in accordance with the ideas Of
the President. 1t Is quite an under
taking, but one which can be accom-
plished IL an. honest, earnest effort is
made. Speaker Cannon and the
standpatters will do everything posi-
bic to give the trusts the best of the
revision; and if they control legisia-
ton, as in the past, we do not antici-
pate much of tariff reform.
The duty on lumber should be wiped
out. The Dingley tariff has made mil
lionaires Of American lumbermen in
the past twenty years by imposing q
tariff Of two dollars per 1000 feet on
foreign lumber fors their solo benefit
The members Of the ways and means
committee of Congress appear to favor.
the retention of half the present tariff
on lumber and the lumber barons will
be satisfied to take the half loaf rather
than put lumber on the free list. Mr..
Taft has to watch that committee or
1t will pull the wooLoyer his eyes.
d President Roosevelt left Mr.. TAFT
with an empty treasury. AS a Repub-
loan narer saws. ssrhn White Hn,lae
was literally mortgaged for 315o. ooo.-
900. and the debt was increasing ct the
rate Of 100000 persday.'s That being
the case, q big revenue from imports
IL necessary. If tho tariff on foreign
articles is reasonable reduced, the
revenue sssl1i u. XIII be prpportionately in,

L'ust be issued to make UP the deficit
and pay running expenses. President
Taft is in a bad predicament, and we
hope he will be extricated therefron,
as quickly as possible by Congress IN
extra session.
It is said that the ways and means
members propose to put tariff II
five cents pound on coffee. Why?
Is there nothing else to raise the tariff
en- but an article of general consump-
ton? It appears that a New York
banking house holds s75.0O0,ooo Ct
bonds which the government Of Brazil
issued to buy 1,554000,Ooo pounds Of
coffee to keep up prices and foster that
industry. Some Of that coffee is IN
this country now in the warehouses
and all of it would be here before the
now tariff went into effect. The AM
erican government would not receive
one dollar duty, but the coffee would
be sold for five cents a pound more
than it was worth. The bonds would
be promptly paid, and the people
would pay for them.
President Taft is pledged to give
the American people relief from tariff
burdens. We believe he means to give
them relief as far as in him lies; but
he has to- watch Congress- closely and
use his influence with that body to
fix the tariff schedules properly. Mo-
body is clamoring for free trade, but
everybody wants fair play. Trusts
which destroy competition and fix their
own prices should receive no consid-
Grafton from the revisionists. All iH-
terests should be fairly dealt with, and
there should be no favoritism nor dis
elimination in the adjustment If
!, schedules. The people of the whole
country, irrespective Of political aft1l-
iations, want "a square deal' in this
r,atter, and will hold their representa-
tives in this extra session Of Congress
responsible for their legislation. They
must not let few Eastern senators
manipulate the duties in the interest
of "tbe malefactors of great wealth.

Carrie Nation sailed from Liverpool
TO New York last Saturday and is
probably on her native heath by this
time. She did not accomplish much
flor the temperance cause in Great
Britain. There was no field for her
Yin the Emerald Isle, and hence she
did not land there at ell. Tho late Mr..
Kelley, Of chloride of gold fame, de-

auickened the young bright life they
controlled into lofty conceptions and
prayers by a reference to the martyr
doms, the wrongs, the soldiership, tn,
craftsmanship, the magnificent Nom
cries and illuminating hopes of the poor
cid land. They talked to us abcus
Mount Olympus and the Vale Of
Tempe, they birched us into f1ippant

they pitched us precipitately Tito Eng

and stupied saxons; but as far as Ire
land was concerned, they left Us like
blind and crippled children, in the

rcsents the Irish Jesults as consp'ra-
tors against the stability of the Eng
lish empire in Ireland"
At the recent convention %; 5000
delegates in Dublin, resolution was
almost unanimously passed demanding
that Irish be made a compulsory study
for naturalization, but the ma 'ority OF
the senate. pay no attention to the
voice Of the Irish nation. The Friendly
Sons Of st. Patrick in New York, on
the first Of this month, sent petition
tc the senate of the university stating
it's views on the language question.
The Society says, among other things
that 1t expresses the fervent hope
that through enlightened guidance tile
National University at Dublin will be-
come the focus Of a moral and intel :.
lectual eminence worthy of the Irish
nation. To attain this eminence it is
essential that the National University
should in its character be distincti. ely
Irish, and this character can only he
acquired Through the genius Of the
Irish language.
Your great powers as we'll as respon-
sibilities," the petition continues, "are
fully recognized; ais also the splendid
opportunity : presented which enables
you to reinstate the mother tongue Of
the people and to give to it thsr stamp
Of scholarly authority to which by IT'S
purity and ethnics antiquity IL is go
justly entitled. That you ma: so or
dain by your. constitution or statutes
requiring as q condition to matricula-
ton an adequate now:edge of the
Irish language lis respectfully urged by
this society,", Were this u matter OF
religious or political import or CT con-
Germ only to the people in Ireland, this
entreaty would not be made, 5lt it is
made and justification is derived
from the historical fact that the lam
guase is the lhlaeiFTitage of the race, and
it's recognition and preservation are
Of vital interest to every man Of Irish
birth or descent. wherever he may be
who prides himself on his ancestral
blood"
The petition Was addressed to Arch
bishop Walsh, the Chancellor Of the
University, with the request to pre-
sent it to the Senate. The Irish race
at home and abroad wants q national
university In reality, and that it car +.
not be If the Irish Language is discard

Gertrude Hoffman to don more apparel

In Kansas City. Gertrude realizes now

GAELIC IN NEW UNIVERSITY.

Inc Gaelic language in its wider
sense embraces the Irish, the Highland
Scotch and the Manx. 1t is the parent
tongue Of the native Celtic races, ard
is spoken to a greater extent ard in a
purer form in Ireland than elsewhere.
The purest Of Gaelic literature has
emanated from Ireland, and such as
has been produced in Scotland ard
the Isle Of Man, (and that is but little)
Is more or less contaminated. For
about two generations, or from tho
establishment of the so-called natioral
schools up to fifteen years ago, the
Irish as spoken language had be-
come almost extinct in Ireland; bit
since the birth of the Gaelic League
the old tongue has been partially re-
vived and is now spoken, more or less,
In all parts of the country. Even in
the United States the Irish exiles ard
their descendants have become inter-
ested in it's resuscitation, and branches
of the Gaelic League have been organ
lied in the larger cities of this coun-
try. The Ancient Order of Hibernians,
from a patriotic impulse. contributed
$4,000 for the establishment of
Gaelic professorship in the Catholic
University at Washington, D. c.. hut
what benefits have resulted from theil
generous donation to the cause O.
Irish nationality we are at a loss to de-
termine. If Gaelic is taught ut all in
the American institution 1t is in a per.
functory way, without creating any
enthusiasm for the language among tho
students.
In Ireland for the first time since the
reign of Elizabeth, the Catholics have
been granted a university in which
their children can receive 3 higher
education from professors Of their own
faith. II there is any institution where
Irish should be taught to the students
/. certainly is the new national uni
versity of Ireland. Btu England does
not want the native language of Ire.
land revived, as can be seen from tho
following excerpt from the Pail Malt
Gazette:
Every one who knows anything con-,
corning the Gaelic League knows that
its one ambition is Ireland Nation
II is easy to imagine what the teaching
In Irish will be, In. that direction 1t
will trend. Unfortunately 4or the
Gaelic League, their ideal of an Irisl,
nation apart from Great Britain can
never be realized, because the rredom-
inant partner, cannot afford to let
her go and to have an Ireland, ruled
by Nationalist, at her Western gate"
The Britishers when appointing
members Of the senate Of the National
University selected the majority Of
them as West Britons who ca.ed not
q snap Of their fingers for the Irish,
language. Or. Delany was appointed
president OF the University. He is s
Jesuit and, strange to say. the Jesuits
OF Ireland have never been noted for
their patriotism. In this respect, they
are In strong contrast with some OF
the other religious orders. The Jesuit
College Of Clongowes- Wood. situated
on the fertile plain Of Kildare, never
inspired its Students with Irish patrio5-
ism. 1t did everything possible to de-.
