President Taft, it seems, is for
the principal Of protection and
necessarily against the Aldrich
bill. He said that he was com
mitted to a downward revision of
the tariff which he had promised,
and he had looked at the matter
from the standpoint of the whole
country as well as the standpoint
of responsibility for the whole Re-
publican party. He said the ques-
ton in each case was question OF
fact. to be determined by evidence
as to whether the present duty was
needed for protection or if the rate
was excessive, so that downward
revision or putting the article on
the free list would not injure the
industry.

OF all trash and debris and treat
ed as first class park. How
much better the city would look
to have this done, and too, it
would be an aid to health. Why
not require the owners of the va
want lots to do this, and upon
their failure let the city keep
them in good shape and charge
the cost against the property.
The owners of vacant lots profit
by the increase value given to the
property by the improvements
made in the vicinity, and yet they
add nothing to the beauty of the
city, and often these lots are an
eye-sore to the community. Let
the city compel the owners to
keep these lots in good order.
Marriage between people of
different colors and nationality
should not be prevented. If man
and woman are attached to each
other as husband and wife should
] be, the matter Of color should not
be a bar to their union. If a
woman Of color should marry
scapegoat of white man and get
fooled, she alone must bear the
burden. Besides, it can be shown
that an intermixture of races is
elevating. Progeny is made bet
ter by a cross between different
nations. This is the case among
the inferior animals. This fact
cannot be refuted. If white
girl wishes to marry a Jap, let
her marry him. The Almighty
has placed no bar between people
of different nationalities marry
ing; then why should we?
The Indian is fast passing away.
In the United States the time
was when there were more Indi-
ans than white people, and but
few feeting years ago the Indians
were more numerous in the terri
tory, now state Of Washington,
than the whites. But they = are
fast passing to the "happy hunt
ing grounds. " Twenty years ago
the red men were numerous in
and around the city of Seattle, but
now but few are left to tell the
tale of the once numerous Siwash.

Sahalee Tyee. IF this is the case
with the Indian as well as with
other races of people, can it not
be that in the course of thousands
of years the races now existing
will become extinct and be re-
placed with a superior race OF
people? AS this is world Of
progress and evolution, and its
tendency is that way, certain it is
that the people of the world are
tending upward in the loftier ele-
ments Of thought and sentiment
and are obeying tie mandates OF
Nature s God.
This is an era Of graft. Craft
ing is performed in various and
sundry ways For instance, a
contract may be let for an eXor-
bitant sum in which there is
rake-off Of many dollars between
the legitimate value of the work
and the sum for which it was let.
The difference is the graft, which
is a theft to be divided between
the thieves, who have really sto-
Ileh that amount Of money. The
man who demands and receives
more salary than he is entitled to
by conniving with some CRATER,
is no less a CRATER and should be
placed in the list of thieves. The
word CRATER means the same as
the word thief, only it's a milder

A. D. Charlton says the travel
to the A.-Y.-P. exposition has
been twice what it was to the
Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland for the same length of
time. OF course it has been, and
simply because the former is being
held in Seattle and the latter was
held in Portland. 1t makes all
the difference in the world,

By all means Seattle should
have a well qualified man as SUI

it can obtain the services Of

six thousand dollars per year.

should not try as yet to compete
with Chicago and New York. She
is only in her short clothes. Ten
thousand dollars paid out by the
school board every twelve month

because some professor wants it.
Your Uncle has known cases of
this kind to be a simple bluff.
That new county court house
and a city hall are really needed
in the city of Seattle cannot be
disputed. The present court house
has been added to as much as it
can be, and is now entirely made
Ouate for the transaction of the
courts business. By commencing
the building Of new court house
next year it might be occupied be-
fore it would be absolutely neces-
sary to rent additional quarters
at the present location. The
building should be large enough
to serve all purposes in the re
mote future. 1t would not rem
edy matters to erect building for
the present only; neither would
it be wise to erect one for the inns,

most beautiful, bizarre and picturesque
costumes, and it is believed that one of
the largest crowds ever assembled at

Portola Ball to Be
Brilliant rpectacIe

Among the distinguished persons
who will be present att the Portola
ball at the Fairmont during the Por-
tola festival are Jonkheer John Loudon.
minister of the Netherlands, and his
wife. The Loudons, in company with
marquis de Nillalobar, Spanish min
lister TO the United States, leave Wash
ington today en- route to this city and
expect to be here for the opening of the
fete.
Mrs Loudon is an American woman
and has graced countless numbers of
social functions held in the national
capital, where she is a social favorite.
She viii be lavishly entertained by To-
cal society folk while in the city.
Never before in the history of Cali
fornia has the attempt been made for
the grandeur and success which the
Portola committee hopes to achieve in
the official Portola ball, which will be
held Wednesday evening. October 20.
With its mass of extravagant decora-
tions in gorgeous colors, enhanced by
the glamour of hundreds of lights, and
alive with a moving throng of women
and men attired in brilliant costumes
and stately dress, the ballroom will
present a scene which it is believed
will prove one of the most glittering
social triumphs ever witnessed.
San Francisco's exclusive social set
will attend in large numbers, and the
neighboring bay cities will be well rep
resented. Society folk of Burlingame
are taking more interest in the Por-
tola ball than in any previous social
event ever held in this city, and many
have already signified their intentions
of being present.
Norman Court terrace, in which the
supper following the bali will be
served, is being specially draped for
the occasion. and with its red and
yellow and national color schemes, and
myriads of varicolored lights, will form
a beautiful setting for the assembled
guests. The hotel management is max
ing preparations to seat the largest
number of guests at this splendid func-
tion that ever dined in the popular
hosteIry.

TOBACCO IN THE HAND
is NOT TO BE TAXED

WASHINGTON. July S.-The re
moval Of the restrictions on the free
sale of tobacco in the hand as provided
in the amendment of Senator Bradley,
which was adopted today, is the result
of many years of agitation and of much
active recent campaigning.
The present law. preventing freedom
in the trade in tobacco in the primitive
states, is said to have been responsible
for the forays Of tnight-riders in
Kentucky and Tennessee.
The present law permits the tobacco
grower TO dispose of his product, but
does not allow the vendor 10 transfer
it without paying tax of SIX cents 4
pound.
The Bradley amendment authorizes
any one to sell tobacco in the hand
without paving tax, but requires that
when the sale exceeds ten pounds, q
record shall be kept for the benefit of
the internal revenue service.
AS the tariff bill passed the house. IT
carried very similar provision, and
there is very little doubt that when
the bill shall become a law il will con-
tain practical repeal of the present
tax on "han1 tobacco.

PURPOSE OF CONGRESS
TO RUSH TARIFF BILL

WASHINGTON, July S.-There will
be no delay in sending the tariff bill
TO conference after it reaches the
house, 1t is expected that the bill will
be sent to that body by the senate late
tomorrow. The house Will meet daily
from now until the end of the session,
As soon as the bill is received Mr..
Dalzell is expected TO offer resolu-
ton by which the house Will disagree
TO the senate amendments en- bloc and
agree to conference. If there rs
any disposition TO debate the resolu-
ton, Representative Payne of New
York will probably move the previous
question on the resolution, thereby put
ting off discussion.
When Mr. Dalzell s resolution is
adopted the speaker will announce the
list Of conferees
1t is likely that the first thing
agreed TO in conference Will be reduc-
tions on nccessaries of life and raw
materials made in the house bill by
the senate The increases made by the
senate on certain luNuries Will prob
ably offer a temporary barrier TO AN
early agreement in conference because
of the contention that these increased
rates will prove prohibitive aud will
