Texas railroad brought suit against 1t
and engaged a young lawyer named
Brown. Judge CAN'T, who was pre-
siding, was compelled to throw many
Of the cases out Of court because they
were improperly brought.
Brown was mad all over. Swelling
with indignation, he arose and said,
"Your honor, will you please tell me
how 1t Is possible In this court to get
justice against a railroad companyr
Judge CAN'T quietly ignored the con
tempt Of court shown by the lawyer
and asked. "Do you wish an answer

HE month of August. 1909, will
be memorable in the history Of
transportation as marking the
virtual annexation of a large
part Of New Jersey to New York
through the completion OF the McAdoo
system Of tunnels under the Hudson
river. This part of New Jersey be-
comes to all intents and purposes q
part Of the greater city Of New York
because of the improvements In trans
1t methods made possible by this ex-
tensive ~tunneling OF the mighty Hud-
son. The engineering work necessary
to the accomplishment OF this hercu-
lean task has been In progress for sew
eral years under the supervision of
that engineering genius Charles NJ.
Jacobs. and much has been written
about the enterprise as an engineering
project. The opening OF the tunnels
from Hoboken to Christopher street
and the uptown portion OF New York
was celebrated with much eclat over
a year ago. The recent completion OF
the downtown tunnels from Jersey
City TO the great terminal station at

eERENo l. PAYNE This Is the same
Congressman Payne who little more
than a year g declared that in his
reason in revision talk. But when
the Republican platform was adopted
with a plank favoring revision and the
party's candidate tool an emphatic
stand In favor of a downward revision
Mr.. Payne Is said to have accepted
the situation in good faith and to have
labored for such a bill as the head Of
Khe party wanted.
Mr.. Payne as chairman of the house
ways and means committee, as head
of the house majority Organization"
and leader on the fool obtained a po-
sition of strong vantage when put
Oh the conference committee as a rep
resentative of the lower branch Of con-
gross. His stand for a downward re-
vision surprised and puzzled some of
his associates. One Disguised con
fierce who stands for high duties said
explosively Of Mr.. Payne: He just
sits there enveloped in his own avoir-

bulge him. He won't say what he
wants, except that he doesn't want
what we want"
The cleavage of party lines on ac-
count Of the tariff has been greatest
in the senate, where ten members re-
fused to vote for the Aldrich measure
when 1t was originally passed. These
members were Dolliver and Cummins
of Iowa, La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Burkett and Brown of Nebraska, Clapp
and Nelson of Minnesota, Beveridge of
Indiana, Bristow of Kansas and Craw-
ford of South Dakota. These men
stood for downward revision from the
outset of the debate In the senate, and
most OF them stood together in sup
port of an income tax amendment.
The provision Of the bill providing for
a vote by the state legislatures on the
subject was favored by most of them,
and they also generally followed Pres
sdent Taft's lead In the matter of the
cvt pOrauon TAX.

controversy IN the senate was the posi-

A Philadelphia lady one spring de
termined to turn her lawn into a flower
garden and decided to do the planting
herself. One evening the lady's hus-
band came home and found her porting
over a seed catalogue. She had a long
list of seeds written on a sheet Of pa
per.
This is a list. my dear" she said,
that I want you to buy for me tomor-
row at the seedman's."
Her husband looked at the list. Then
he laughed loud and long.
"You want these flowers to bloom
this summer. don't your" said he.
Eyes, of course"
"weli, those you have put down
here don't bloom TIL the second sum-
mer."
"Oh. that's all right" the lady said
easily.

camp of the insurgents, and on sew
eral occasions he gave evidence Of his
to be considered a leader Of
this new and interesting band. Its
members constitute a very strong ele-
ment in the Republican party and en-
brace some Of the brainiest and most
eloquent Of the solons who sit In the
upper branch Of congress.
The battlecry Of Downward revt-
sionv' around which many lawmakers
have rallied in the recent legislative
and represents a new phase Of the
political situation. Party lines have
become SO mixed up in the last few
months of tariff discussion that n
who has not closely followed the rapid
changes In the situation Is apt to have
difficulty In recognizing the party and
fractional alignments of the moment.
A lot Of new lotteries confront him.
There are the ''progressives" among
the Republicans, also sometimes called
s'insurgents." and there are the Dem
Ocrats who have been charged by
some of their party with being protec.
tionists. The terms ''progressives"
and insurgents" have generally been
applied 10 the controversy over the
tariff bill to the downward revision
ists." although latterly some of the
high tariff men in the house Of repre-
sentatives who opposed President
Taft's plan for free raw materials and
reduction OF duties on manufactured
articles entering into large use among
the masses have also been referred to
as insurgents
In the inception Of the movement In
the Republican party for revision Of
the tariff those who favored it were
called ''reyisionists" and those oppos-
ing stand patters." 1t was then taken
for granted that II there were any re-
vision at all 1t would be a revision
with at least q downward tendency.
But after the Payne bill was passed
and the Aldrich measure was intro
duced In the senate some members Of
that body took the position that the
Republican platform did not promise q
downward revision and that to revise
the tariff upward would not be In vio-
lation of party pledges. This. how
ever. was not the way President Taft
raw the matter; hence his stand for q
positive revision downward and the
resulting fight along this line by those
claiming to represent his views among
the tariff conferees.
