that have heretofore characteriz-
ed his strenuous conduct of the
business entrusted to him. The
morrow margin by which the rules
were adoptedindicates that they
will have soon passed into history
and that Uncle Joe's political
career is almost at an end. But
for the treachery of three or four
democrats, who ought to be re-
tired from further public service,
the old House rules would have
been put out of commission and
those presented by the minority
members would have been adopt
ed. The situation is interesting,
to say the least, an6aH1eYes are

that the republicans may not be
entirely alone in putting the new
bill into effect. President Taft's
message reciting the objects for
which congress was called in ex-
traordinary session is perhaps
the shortest communication sent
omanating from The White House
in many years calling attention
to a matter of such vital import
ance to the country at large. 1t
is evident that he contemplated
immediate action and the House
of Representatives took him at
his word, for in less than three
days after the organization of
the House the bill was introduced

Clark stated on the floor the COM

THE new TARIFF BILL.

The Ways and Means Com
mittee of the lower house of Con-
gress has completed it's work in
the preparation of the new Tar
if Bill and introduced the same
into the House of Representa-
tives. Friends of the measure
claim that the revenue under the
tariff duties prescribed will
amount to $500, 600, 600. or an in
crease of $40, 600, 600, annually,
over the Dingley Law. One
/ feature Of the new bill is the in
heritance tax, direct inheritance
of $40, 600 to 500, 600 to be taxed
one per cent. Coffee is placed
on the free list, an eight per
centum tax on tea from the coun-
tries where produced and nine
cents from other countries.
Coal is placed on a free
schedule with countries admitting
the coal produced in the United
State. Iron ore is, also on the
free list, while the duty on shoes
is reduced forty per cent. Hides
are also on the free list. Wood
pulp, from which paper is made.
will be admitted free from all
countries where no export duty
is charged. The duty on lumber,
: steel rails and other steel pro-
ducts is reduced about one-half.
The bill provides for a reduction
of five cents on refined suger,
while the duty on wool is I'M
changed. This new measure
authorizes the issuance of $685.
600, 600 in treasury certificates, to
run one year, which it is claimed
would relieve any financial en-
barrassment until the revenue
under the new act would begin
to come in. the latter measure to
become effective sixty days after
its ratification by Congress.
Chairman Payne, who is said
to be the author of the new
measure, says that with a return
to normal conditions in the bust
ness world the nations deficit
would soon be eliminated. If
not, he says, the bill provides for
an issuance of Panama Canal
bonds to amount of$4O, 600, 600 to
make up any probable deficiency.
This issue it is said would be
made as an offset to the original
purchasing amount paid by the
United States to the French Gov
eminent for the Panama Canal
property. Of course, there will
be many amendments offered
and, doubtless, a number of them
adopted during the consideration
of this bill by the Senate and
House of Representatives. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that
any material changes will be
made, as the republicans have a
working majority and seem de-
termined to put the measure
through without any very radical
changes from the first draught
made of it. 1t is predicted that
party lines will be partially eli
minated in the discussion of the
proposed tariff revision bill and
that probably several weeks will
be devoted to it's consideration.
Some of the democratic congress
men are cIamoring for the pro-
lection of products of their parti-
cular districts and this means

transpired early in the contest.
When objection was made to put
ting MI. Jordan in for super
visor on account of his candidacy
in the lete campaign as an indie
pendent, Mr.. Ray advised me
that he had told him, on author
ity of the county democratic ex-
cutive committee and the demo-
cratic nominees, to continue in
the race. The idea of advising
an independent democrat to run
in a republican county, with q
democratic nominee in the field,
sounded mighty, strange to me,
and / determined to investigate.
Aletter. of which the following
is a copy, was addressed to
twenty leading democrats, in

mittee:

Ny Dear Sir:
I will thank you to letme know
by return mail whether you had
any part in advising Mr.. w. c..
Jordan to remain in the race as
an Independent candidate for
register of deeds during the re-
cent campaign after the conven-
ton nominated a straight demo-
crat for that position. The
claim is being made here that he
was so advised, and I would be
glad to know to what extent the
committee and candidates las a
whole approved the suggestion.

self, only heard of the plan
recently, and do not wish to do

If he missed it he would be stranded
In Il foreign land, penniless and prac-
tically without friends, Brentwick be-.
ing away and all the rest of his circle
of acquaintance OF the other side of
the channel. Yet he fingered in poor
company, daring fate that he might
see the end of the affair. Why?
There was only Que honest answer
10 that question. He stayed on be-
cause Of his interest in q girl whom
he had known for a matter of three
hours at most. 1t was %insensate folly
on his part, ridiculous from any point
OF view, but he made no move to go.
