If the American women would de-
vote even one-half as much study to
the tariff as they give to the fashion
page they would learn why it is that
they must pay twice as much for their
silk or woolef' gowns, and for their
gloves. hosiery and other items as
this French or English sisters must
pay. And. once they were brought to
understand just what this means,
their clubs and card parties would
doubtless vary their usual program
with some effective discussion of the
why and wherefore of such a
condition. with the result that con-
gress would some day hear from
American womankind on the subject
of import duties.

Call of the Southwest.

1t lures. it draws, it beckons, with an
insist still but strong
1t runs with a soft persistence
through dreams, the whole night
long.
1t stays at my side in the daytime,
and oft through the stress and
strain
l hear it calling. calling, Come back
to your own again.
The hazy blue of the mountains, the
watt of the prairie scent,
The easy swing of the saddle, which
lulls to a calm content,
The sky for a roof above you, the
green for your tired eyes,
And the calling, calling backward to
the life that satisfies.
With all of the earth's wild freedom,
with all of the way to go,
With nothing to fret or harass, with
room for friend and foe,
With a smile from the eyes that love
you, a word for your ear alone,
And the voices calling, calling, Come
back. come back to your own,"
And day by day as listen feel that
my will grows weak,
The tug at my heart-strings strength
ems and draws, till l fain would
seek
Far, far in the hay distance, the path
that l trod of yore,
Which leads TO the voices calling
Come to your own once more!"

FRIDAY. APRIL 16, 1909.
is 70 THE L2T,H STREET
FRANCHISE.

FRANCHISE.
A few points in the interview with
Traffic Manager Doherty of the St.
Louis. Brownsville & Mexico rail
road. relative to the proposed Twelfth
street franchise. which is published
in this evenings Herald are worthy
of more than passing note. Chief
among these perhaps Is the statement
of Mr. Doherty to the effect that the
company is not asking for franchise.
"A franchise is not at all necessary.
The company already has that" Mr..
Doherty declares. The request of the
company. he explains further, was
merely for the adoption by the cOun-
Gil of a resolution to permit the COM
pany to widen the old Twelfth street
track to standard gauge without in
reference, which was done merely to
avoid being at outs" with the city,
and to avoid having the matter taken
into the courts.
Later in the same Interview, Mr..
Doherty claims that the only object
of the company is to widen the
Twelfth street track for the purpose
of using it to operate motor line
for passenger traffic across the bridge
10 Matamoros.
The Herald does not presume to
question the sincerity of the railroad
company's intentions as stated by
Mr. Doherty. AS the present com
pany IS about to relinquish the own
ership of the road however, and. as
the future owners naturally would
not be bound to carry out any inten-
lions not nominated in the bond,
The Herald would suggest that, as the
company says that it wishes to use
the Twelfth street track merely for
the operation of motor line for pas
senger traffic, although it claims to
possess right under the ancient
franchise of the Rio Grande Railway
company to widen the Twelfth street
track if it choose. therefore the city
council should take advantage of the
intention of the petitioners to prevent
the possibility of their successors ever
using the Twelfth street track for
any other than the purpose named by
requiring them to. renounce formally
any claim to the ancient franchise
OF the Rio Grande Company
BY such a course, the danger of
Twelfth streets being used for the
operation of steam cars and regular
freight traffic would be averted. As
the old franchise of the Rio Grande
company, which was bought by the
old Brownsville and Gulf Railway
company. and is now claimed by the
ST Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail
way company. gave the grantee the
absolute right to use any cross street !
of Brownsville to operate its regular /
trains upon in order to reach Levee /
street, it can easily be seen that. if
that right is vested in the company
now claiming it. the only way to
prevent the use of the Twelfth street /
track in future for both freight and |
passenger trains drawn by steam en-
gines, is to prevent the track from
being widened to standard gauge or
TO require the claimants to renounce |
the alleged right to the old franchise. |
That the present owners of the old |
Brownsville and Gulf road will agree |
TO renounce any right to operate |
steam cars or freight trains over the |
track cannot be doubted, as they say
plainly that they will never use the |
track for any such purpose

Bradstreet's Review

NEW YORK, April SO.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say; Summed up, the situation may be
said to be a current trade wholesale and retail
better than last year. but disappointing as a
whole, the tone OF the future is still quite
markedly optimistic. Reports from leading
Industries are rather better than for some time
The business doing and the reports coming
from the iron and steel trades are distinctly
better. Low prices have evidently brought out
slurnbering orders and there is talk of the
bottom having been touched and a new ascent
begun. Cotton goods still lead the rest of the
market, but the strength of raw wool seems
to point to confidence in finished lines Coal
is in better demand and the new agreements
for three years in anthracite being signed,
stability and peace are certain for a long
period. Naval stores are close to or below cost
of production. Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with April 20 were
26s against 247 last week, 2S2 in this week last
year 263 in 1907, 1879 in 1906 and 1913 In 1905.
Failures in Canada for the week numbered q

the United States and Canada for the week
ending April 20 aggregate 696,3l2 bushels,

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, April 30.-The stock market
today was dull and little impression was made
on priees by any of the events which came
into consideration. The excessive dulness was
partly due to the interruption Of communica-
ton with the western part OF the country py
the storm. Few orders were received from
outside sources, and news Of conditions In the
storm area scanty. Prices were held up
to some extent by the sympathetic effect or
the strength in special stocks. Union Pacific
was supported and its recovery from yester-
days decline had much to do in allayins the
apprehension regarding the speculative posi-
ton caused by that DECLINE.
Reading had the benefit Of the signing or
the agreement over the wage scale with the
anthracite miners, and of the good showing
of earnings for March reported by the COM
pany The last day of the month and FRI
day offered a double occasion for extra de-
mands on the money market 1t was not until
late in the day, however, that an impression
was made on the call loan rate by the prep
Arations for the May / payment and for carry
ing over stock market accounts until Monday
next. The hardening of the money market
searly in the week has had the effect of at
tracing funds to New York from the in

The receipts by the New York banks on the
interior movement during the week have ex-
ceeded the shipments to the amount, it is be-
leved, OF nearly 81, 900, 000
The sub treasury operations, however, have

week, this amount including the 81, 600, 600

dollars by the American Sugar Refining COM
