Krisnavarma Declares Catastrophe Is
Coming which will "Stagger
Humanity.

LONDON July 24.-Krishnavarma
editor and East Indian sociologist,
writes a long letter from Paris in de-
Tense of Dhingra, the murderer of Sir
William Wyllie. He denies any com
plicity in the assassination. but de-
scribes the prisoner as a martyr in the
cause of Indian Independence.
Krishnavarma reasserts his doctrine
that political assassination is not muir
der, and says:
There are even in England some
high-minded, thoughtful publicists who
agree with me-"
The real significance of his letter
lies in a prophecy at the end that
There will ere long befall England

In revising the tariff the congress
men put radium on the free list. This
has turned out to be a terrible mistake
IN view of the recent find OF pitch
blende in California which will pro
duce rsdium enough TO supply the
world with this valuable stun for all
time to come. Now here's an infant
industry that should be protected. es-
pecially in view Of the fact that his

twice that sum in this country. At

There was. indeed, never any
chance Of obtaining at this extra ses-
sion a decent revision Of the tariff
schedules. Public opinion was not
well developed on that subject Indi-
vidual members OF congress were un-
der pressure from their respective
states and districts. Only . handful
OF men took the large. national view

would make for its own interests.
Nominally 1t was a Republican tariff:
actually IL was Just as much Demo.
cratic as Republican. and In point of
fact II was not partisan at all. 1t was
simply a hodge -podge. on the plan OF
an old-fashioned river and harbor bill
The reductions OF rates in so far as the
consumer is concerned were more
nominal than real. The great pro
tected interests were all well looked
after. The nominal reductions in
iron and steel were little or nothing
as compared with what the Erea,
American steel industry could readily
have borne. The textile Industries are
more carefully protected than under
the Dingley bill. There are. OF course

NOT REACHED BY THE BOOM
One Million Idle W~orkingmen Give
the lie to eombsst Of speak
or Cannon.

Industrial and trade conditions the
country over. according to Speaker
Cannon. are booming to the everlast-
ing skies as a result Of the work Of
congress" Thanks to q benefcent
tariff. affairs are in better shape than
ever before in the Industrial history
of the nation. Factories are running
overtime and labor is in demand at
better wages
John Mitchelrs view OF these rose
ate conditions as they affect labor Is
not so optimistic Taking as a basis
for comparison the statistics prepared
by the American Federation 81 Labor
showing approximately $500. 900 work
men to have been unemployed last
December. he says:
The latest figures available for the
state Of New York indicate that the
unemployment has been reduced to
nearly one-half In this state. and I
think that from previous experience
the condition in the state Of New
York can be taken as a fair indica-
ton OF the condition throughout the
country"
That Is to say. with business boom
ing to the everlasting skies" as a re-
suit OF a b~enencent tariff more than
10000 workingmen yet remain out
Of work. As the tariff is the prop and
protecting aegis Of labor. IL cannot be
through any defect Of its operation
that this great Industrial army is idle.
The trouble seems TO be that labor
Is forced to deal with conditions as
they are. IL cannot discount the fu-
ture for Immediate wages. From the
point Of view of the 1000. 900 work
men out of employment the industrial
outlook is somewhat less brilliant
than Speaker Cannon's rhetoric.

Col Drake was a poorly paid EN-

suggested that Drake inspect the place
whence the new substance came. Ht
went to oil creek. backed by several
men. and after walking about the hills
studying the rocks and the oil which
slowly percolated into shallow pits he
conceived a plan to drill and find de
