1t is amusing to watch the Way
and Means Committee and to observe
the care The other members of that
committee take to guard approaches to
the chairman. He is never permitted
to be alone. Dazell is nearly always by
his side. When the guardian of steel
must part with him he turns him over
to the watchful care of "Uncle Joe"
Cannon or to some other lynx eyed
CerebuS to see to it that no one comes
close enough to get an expression of
opinion. They are afraid Mr.. Payne
might say or do something which
would not be to the interests of those
who are seeking to revise the tariff
down as little as possible and up as
much as possible. SO poor old Payne
must have as many guardians DIGGING
his steps as there are secret service
officers following the President.

The average citizen cannot under
stand why the members of the Wis
consin Legislature would hesitate or
object to the investigation of any
man whose name was presented to
them to be elected as Uuited States
Senator, and especially so, when a
member of the State Senate preferred
sixteen written charges against said
candidate for that position. 1t is
conceded that any man seeking the
highest office in the gift of the people
of the State of Wisconsin should at
least possess the qualifications of
education, business training and ex-
perience necessary to fill the require
mentS of said office. Isaac Stephen
son was successful at the September
primaries in receiving a small plurali-
ty vote over the other Republican
candidates. He has perSistently
refused since that time to file his list
of expenses in compliance with the
law in that election. He has in the
mean time, it is currently reported by
individual politicians, and the public
press, that his election was brought
about by the lavish use of money. If
there is no foundation for these
charges and talk, why should Mr..
Stephenson and his friends object TO
making a clean breast of his expenses,
as to who received the money, how
much, and to what purpose applied?
Any man possessing the necessary
qualifications for the United States
SenatorShip, should be over anxious to
crafty the wish of the people in
making clear to them his expenses.
The people are certainly entitled to
this explanation before he is selected
for the q. S. SenatOrship. In Sour-
judgement, if his conscience was clear,
and the amount of money he had spent
was not exorbitant. he would have
been anxious to file his expenses be-
fore he asked the Legislature TO ratify
the plurality vote of his party at the
primary. If there is no truth ia the
charges. and the investigation will
reveal none, why should he and his
friends refuse, or object. to furnishing
the people with full statement of
his expense, and to whom he paid it
and what for A clear conscience of
duty, well and honestly performed
never would fear an investigation,
To the contrary it would seek one.

vestigation, and in Fridays Milwau-
kee Free Press, we find his reasons
therefore, which we re-publish as fol
lows:
''Mr. Hambrecht Grand Rapids,
objected to the Blaine substitute a
mendment to the Husting resolution
on the ground there was not a single
sworn statement in the accusations.
The plans for the investigation, he
pointed out were hushed up and
hedged in with a degree of secrecy
unbecoming the dignity of the legis-
lature. The charges were made in
the eleventh hour, with no other pur-
pose than to thwart the will of the
people, their only purpose being t
prevent the election of Isaac Steph-
enson.
There were no affidavits present
ed with the charges" he continued.
"They do not name the senator's in
formant's, and the senator does not
swear to them himself. We are ask
ed to halt in the election of a sena-
tor whom the people by the express
sion of their will in the primary have

in existence. While he had the sup
port of all the saloon keepers toward
his election and he wants them to
have all the rights and benefits that
go 10 them by virtue Of their licenses,
he also insists that they must con-
duct their business within their
license rights and the laws and ordi-
nances generally. In this position,
or any other, 10 which the Mayor
takes stand in favor of enforcing
the laws and giving everybody justice
we want to support him in the right
and we know that all the good and law
abiding people are with him in en-
forcing the laws. We also favor tie
giving of the saloon men every right
and favor that they are promised
when they pay 5000 year for license.
When they go beyond the rights given
them in the license then they should
be called to account for such violation.
What is true in the Mayors case is
true in the case of Chief of Police or
any other city officer. The good
people of Grand .Rapids will defend
and support any city officer who will
stand up and enforce the laws in
every case of violation. Live within
the law and you will never regret it,

The Ways and Means Committee
Of the House will ignore the petition
of the national manufacturers AsSO-
citation and the business interests
generally that a tariff commission
be created and empowered to make
or to propose to Congress tariff
changes revealed to be necessary by
the changing conditions of business.
Manufacture will be interested great
ly in the argument advanced in oppo-
sitiOn to the commission idea. 1t is
that commission having the right
to establish rates of duty or even TO
recommend changes to the House
Committee would seriously impair the
business interests of the country. 1t
is claimed that a commission would
produce a constant condition Of un-
certainty. Furthermore it is claimed
it would impede the investment of
capital in those interests afflicted by
foreign trade and competition.
The position taken by the Ways
and Means Committee is in oppOsi-
tion to the views of President-elect
Taft which were communicated to
that committee by II. E. Miles of
Racine. Representative John Dalzell
is running the House end Of tariff
making. There is fiction believed
| throughout the country that the
Honorable Serene Payne, chairman OF
that committee, is its dominating
influence. Mr.. Dalzell, long recog'
nized as the special protector Of the
steel interests, is opposed to the com
mission ioea principally because nc
tariff commission having any decent
regard for the facts would maintain
or recommend the high rates of pro-
lection which Mr.. Dazell has been
able to secure through Congressional
action So it is announced that there
is to be no commission.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, June IA flip was given

The formation of a syndicate to intro

auspices as those reported to The Assoc

fort than any hitherto made to overcome
the many difficulties and intricacies of
laws applying to foreign securities in
that market. 9-+ 4 tt
The prospect of United States Steel be-

The influence of the rise in Steel was
supplemented by the renewal of impor-
tant speculative operations in other i'm
portant stocks. Union Pacific signal
lied the departure of the head of that
system to Europe by a rise Of 2 1-2
points. The strength of the stock was
not impaired by the showing Of de-
crease of net earnings for April compared
with last year, the growth in operating
cost having exceeded the increase in
