uttered against the measure in the
senate, hut is applicable to the confer
ence agreement. a
The reductions do not show revision
downward in the sense that such revis-
ion was TO check the monopolization of
productive industries or the steady
advance OF prices through manipulation
by controlling combinations.
The Kansas City Star, perhaps the
ablest TafE organ west of the Mississippi
makes this editorial comment:
The best that can be said of the tariff
mittee is that it does not fulfill the
promises of either party and should not
have the support of any member of
congress who has committed himself
for honest. substantial downward
revision. The worst that can be said
of it is that its specific provisions are,
in the main, specific in figures only,
and that many of these figures, al
though they may be made to appear
favorable. to the American consumers,
may yet be wholly deceptive, and that
because of the ambiguity and I'M
certainty involved, the net result of the
bill, if it should become q law, may be
an increase instead of a decease in the
cost of living. y
The Indianapolis News, one of the
greatest and most influential of republi-
can dailies. has this to say:
The outcome is a signal victory for
the Aldrick Hale-Lodge crowd. Mr..
Aldrich has successfully defended his
"citadel of protection" and the great
schedules which he constantly referred
to as the "bulwark" of the system,
woolens, cottons, iron and steel, and
sugar, come out practically untouched.
This is literally true of woolens, cottons
and sugar. Experts are unable to
point to anything in the bill as agreed
upon that will tend to lower to the con-
sumner the price which he now pays for
the necessaries of life.

The Bitter Bit.

A week or two ago an attendant at
one Of the big theaters on the Paris
bo,uevards found fine pear necklace
which she handed over to the box
office. One Of the spectators, lady,
saw the woman pick up the necklace,
and went to the box-oft1ce and claimed
1t as her own. To mark her appre-
citation of the attendants honesty she
gave her 20 francs. The next day;
however, the real owner of the neck
lace presented herself at the theater to
make inquiries. On hearing what had
occurred she burst into iaugh, and
explained that the pearls were but imi-
tation, and had cost her IL francs only.
So the smart lady" loses at least
eight francs on the transaction.

REPUBLICAN COMMENTS
on TARIFF LAW

5; The following comments from some
of the Leading republican papers of the
country show very plainly that the Taft
Aldrich- Payne tariff law falls u long
ways short of meeting the demand of
the people for an honest downward re-
vision of the Dingley law. They also
show that President Taft failed to stand
by the people in their fight with mon
opoly and greed. The Chicago Tribune,
one of the leading republican papers of
the country, says:
At no point in the revision is there
found evidence of serious purpose to
reduce duties in the interest of lower
prices. The protective principle has
been carefully observed. Many of the
duties which prevented importation have
been reduced, but there is little likli-
hood that importations sufficient to
affect home prices will result.
There is every reason to believe the
trade will take advantage of the in
crease in the duties on cottons to ad-
Vance prices. These increases bear
especially upon the poorer classes.
There was absolutely no justification
for the advance of the. rates on the
cheaper grades of cotton hosiery. No
one doubts for moment that the
manufacturers will increase the price of
women's and children's hosiery as O
result Of the heavier duties.
The increases in the silk schedule
were made because Senator Aldrich and
Representative Payne came to the con-
''lusion that the articles comprised under
this schedule were luxuries. There are
hundreds of thousands of women who
think to the contrary. D.
Although the WOODEN schedule was
admittedly Ubiquitous it has not been
changed. except in few unimportant
paragraphs.
The reduction in sugar rate is so
inappreciable that it will not he felt by
the consumer
What are particularly interesting to
the housewife are the china, glass and
glassware paragraphs. The rates with
regard to the articles therein are
practically not affected
The farmers of the middle west will
not benefit from the new lumber rates
The duty OH structural steel ready for
use has been increased The reductions
in the metal schedule will lead to no
large importations.
The Philadelphia North American
ono of the brightest stars in Republican
journalism. says:
The truth, if it is ever established
will be that the president has gained
next to nothing.
There is much discomfort among
house members because of the palpablc
violation of all the party promises in
the Legislation about to be enacted.
Progressive senator's who will vote
against the bill realize that the brcs-
ident and the majority in both houses
will make mighty effort to discrcdit

Peter Cooper's Locomotive.

The first attempt to use engines in
the United States for any other than
experimental purposes was in 1929 by
the Hudson & Delaware Canal COM
pany, from Carbonate to Honesdale,
Pa, distance of sixteen miles. The
engines were made in England.
In the following year Peter Cooper
built the first locomotive in the Unit
ed States. 1t weighed less than a
ton; it's boiler was about the size of a
flour barrel and it's fues were made
of gun barrels. Mr.. Cooper was high
ly elated because his engine made
better time than the horses Of other
railroads.

This novel school will be open from

past 6 or 7 at night. The children
will be conveyed to and from the
school on tramcars and will have
three meals a day there. The school
will be open for five days a week for
twenty weeks, and voluntary contri-
buttons will be invited toward the

PROPOSED PANAMA HIGHWAY.
A Road For Motors May Skirt the
Banks of the Canal

~ nOdu IOT "OIOTS WAY SkICt LILO
Banks of the Canal.
The Royal mail boats, the Hamburg
American boats, the French and Ital-
ian boats all bring their quota of tour
lists and sightseers onto the isthmus,
everyone of whom seems to be carried
away with the magnitude Of the work
going on and with the conditions as
they find them. 1t would surprise me
if, in the near future, because of the
magnificent climate and of the natur-
al interest that is being centered in
and about the isthmus on account of
the building of the canal, great win
ter resort should be built up here; es-
pecially would this be foregone con-
clusion if good roads should be con-
structed clear across the isthmus
along the route of the canal. Roads
are being constructed upon both sides
of the isthmus by the isthmian canal
commission Mileage is not very ex-
tensive, and there seems to be no
tangible movement toward extending
the roads now being constructed
across from Colon to Panama. The
distance Is only about forty-seven
miles, and if pike should be: laid
out and we'll macadamized, there could
be no more beautiful highway imag-
ined for the driving of automobiles
and horse highway vehicles, especially
SO if the highway should skirt along
the banks Of the canal and the nu-
merous lakes which will be formed
thereby, SO that the panoramic view
could be maintained in all it's beauty.
There is just enough rise and fall to
break the monotony, and at the same
time afford easy grades for vehicles to
move upon.
This is the only highway in the
world where one could cross from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean in
two hours time. It is also the only
place in the world SO far as I know
where the sun seems to rise and set
over the Pacific ocean viewed from
the land. 1t is also the only place in
the world, if my geography is correct,
where town on the Pacific ocean lies
east of another town located upon the
Atlantic ocean, as is the case with
Panama and Colon. 1t would be
splendid thing if the isthmian canal
commission would construct a road
from Colon to Panama.-New Orleans
