The Tariff Commission Bill

COl. W. A. Harris or this State,
a member of the executive com.
mittee appointed by the nation
al convention Of manufacturers at
indianapolis in February to for
mulate a bill for an expert tar
iff commission, has been honor
ed by being assigned to draft the
bill. As drafted by Col. Harris
the bill has been introduced into
The House by Representative Gard
ner Of New Jersey. 1t is a non.
partisan measure, Col. Harms be-
ing named to draw it up not be
cause he is a Democrat.but be.
cause of his experience as a for.
mer member of the U. S. Senate
and his high personal standing.
Ihis bill provides that nine COM
miSSlOners shall be appointed by
the President, who are to "have
practical knowledge of manufac.
turing, agriculture and of domes-
tic and foreign commerce. They
shall hold office for nine years,
three going out every three years
1t is to be their duty to ''inves-
tigate all questions of federal
taxation affecting imports and
foreign trade" and particularly,
Investigate the cost of pruduc-
ton of all articles covered by the
tariff, with special reference to
the prices paid American labor in
comparison with the prices paid
foreign labor, the prices of raw
materials, whether domestic or
imported, entering into manufac-
tured articles, the condition of do
nestle and foreign markets as af-
ltectlng American products, and
all other facts which in the judg-
ment of said commission may be
necessary or helpful to Congress
in establishing rates of duties ON
any article land, in general, thor
Oughly to investigate all the var
iOus questions relating to the man
ufacturing, agricultural, CONNER
mercial, mining and other inter
ests of the United States so far a,
the same may be necessary or
helpful to Congress in enacting
customs tariff laws"
The commission is also to in
quire into all questions relating tc
furthering of foreign trade and
advise with the President for the
extension of foreign commerce by
reciprocity treaties, etc. Their
salaries are to be $4,000.
The frankly acknowledged ig
nOrance of details of the tariff
which members of the Senate are
publishing daily in the Congress
iOnal Record in the course of the
tariff debate, ought to be enough
to settle the question whether an
expert tariff commission is need
ed. Without such a commission
revision of the tariff ''by its
friends" will perpetually NEAR
revision by and for the direct
beneficiaries of prOhibitive du
ties. In fact, the necessity of {
commission which shall be perms
nently in session studying anC
observing and from time to tins
able to make recommendations t
Congress and the President, no
only for a wholesale revision bu
for occasional revising in detail
is self evident. Senator Aldricl
is reported to have a plan for
commission, to consist solely o
persons now in certain gOvernme
bureaus at Washington-politic
ians. The difference is also sci
evident. Topeka Capital.

Trae.a oy thermometer.


 One night many years ago Dr. White law was walking along with the mes senger when he was set upon and knocked down in a lonely part Of the road. His pockets were rifed. and he was left lying on the road with fracture of the fibula. One of the ar ticIes stolen was a clinical thermome- ter with which he had that evening taken the temperature of patient suffering from enteric fever. He re membered the temperature registered, also that he had not shaken down the mercury before putting the thermome- ter back in his pocket. and he com municated these facts to the police. Some time afterward a thermometer registering the identical temperature was discovered in a pawnshop in Glasgow and by this means the DO lice were enabled to track the doctors assailants and to arrest them in one of the Glasgow theaters.-Glasgow Medical Journal.

YALE STUDENTS
 AROUSE FACULTY
Special from United Press.>


 New Haven, Dec. S.-A coterie of students who have taken exception to the recent Yale faculty rules which go into effect after January C, 1910, relating principally to compulsory att tendance at chapel and classes by the student body. adorned every tree and gate post of the Yale Campus late last night with a satire on the rules, in letters of blazing red, that has ca used a sensation unequalled Tn the history of the university.
 The satire substitutes the following for some of the proposed new rules:
 "A student whose scholarship, att tendance at chapel or classes is un- satisfactory. shall be put to death.
 Cuts taken immediately before or after meals shall count triple.
 The penalty for cutting chapel shall be imprisonment for life. A student may be fired for any cause whatsoever. The triviality of the offense shall of course receive ab- solutely no consideration. However, a student may be fired more than once.
 Special prizes will be awarded any student or students eff more than one) graduating under the new sys- tcIn.
 Tt is to be of course expected that as the new rules are extremely lax so shall their enforcement be ex- tremely rigid"
 It is reported to-day that the facul- ] ty is highly incensed over the affair

~Nevcr Teo Late to Mend"

Most Of us associate the phrase "1ts never too late to mend" with Charles Reade's famous novel, and very like ly some of us think he invented it. But 1t is really one of th" most an cient gems of popular philosophy. A correspondent of London Notes and Queries has discovered it in petition from the commonalty to the mayor and aldermen Uf the city in 1i33. It must have been of a respectable age even then. seeing that 1t is quoted as one of the proverbs" of the period.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas

suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-

food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker OaJs;

food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
