Two features of the new tariff act
call for special reference. BY virtue
of the clause known as the ''maximum
of the executive to consider the laws
reference to the importation into those
countries of the products and mer-
chandise of the United States. and If
the executive finds such laws and prac-
tices not to be unduly discriminatory
against the United States the mini
mum duties provided in the bill are to
go into force. Unless the president
makes such a finding. then the maxi
mum duties provided in the bill, that
is. an increase of Is per cent. ad valo-
rem over the minimum duties are to
be in force. Fear has been expressed
that this power conferred and duty
imposed on the executive is likely to
lead to tariff war. beg to express
the hope and belief that no such result
need be anticipated
The discretion granted to the execu-
tive by the terms 'unduly discrim-
inatory" is wide. In order that the
maximum duty shall be charged against
the imports from country. 1t is neces-
sary that he shall find on the part of
that country not only determinations
in Its laws or the practice under them
against the trade of the United States,
but that the Determinations found
shall be undue: that is. without good
and fair reason. 1 conceive that this
power was reposed in the president

Conserving National Resources.
In several departments there is present.
ed the necessity for legislation looking to
the further conservation of our national
resources. and the subject is one of such
Importance as to require n more detailed
and extended discussion than can be en-
tered upon in this communication. For
that reason I shall take an early oppor-
tunity to send special message to con-
gress on the subject of the improvement
of our waterways. upon the reclamation
and irrigation of arid sem-arid and
swamp lands; upon the preservation of
our forests and the reforesung of suit
able areas; upon the reclassification of
the public domain with a view of sep
arating from agricultural settlement min
eral, coal, and phosphate lands and sites
belonging to the government bordering on
water power.

Athens Aaved by Poetry.

When 3. G. 4O4, after heroic struR'
Gle. Athens, the City Of the Violet
Crown" was captured by Lysunder
there were not wanting clamorOus
voices to urge that the city whose lust
for empire had brought such woes on
Greece ought to be laid leveA with the
ground.
The Spartan general at first lent a
willing ear to his powerful allies. but
while the council was still debating
this momentous issue plaintive voice
was heard from the city walls chant
ing those noble lines from the "Eiec-
ira" of Euripides. that most human
of the poets Of Greece, In which the
heroine contrasts her fallen lot with
the splendid exploits of her father,
who had dismantled the towers or
Troy.

Thouohtiess Clerks.

Every business has a good will cap,
and every satisfied customer is a feath-
er in that cap. Trained men at high
salaries are employed to keep tightly
in place the feathers that are already
there and to add new feathers. It is
the advertising department that is
most conspicuously engaged in the
feathering process. while the adjusting
department is most Enthusiastically
employed in keeping the plums firmly
anchored. Both of these departments
are maintained at large proportion
ate expense, which goes to show the
value Of feathers. Who, then, In the
organization of a business could be
mischievous enough to pluck the feath-
ers from the good will cap? Who. in

effort to equalize it, so that power
companies seek to sell their unused
power by night to lighting companies
and vice versa. And as to Smith S
statement about this tendency, Nc
Harg says: 1.-The man who works
against powerful economic reason is
immoral. An economic law is one of
Gods laws; and when you find one
of Gods laws, it's a moral law"
There is lamentable lack of fig
ures," says McHarg, to back up the
statements that have been made and
scattered broadcast through the agen-
cy of government publicity bureaus.
He says that he is unable to see
much difference between the condi-
tions confronting the settlers in
Washington and Oregon and even
Alaska at the present time and the
settlers in the great Western Reserve
fifty or sixty years ago. The latter
had to clear their rich lands of trees,
which were burned because there was
no other way to dispose of them.
Alaska Coal Not Available.
And as to the coal lands in Alas
ka, why talk about conserving Alas
ka, when Nome is 5000 miles from
Seattle, and it is 1000 miles to the
nearest coal? There should never be
the slightest restraint on the mining
of coal in Alaska, because it is too
far from transportation to be used
extensively other than locally. The
coal supply is as local as the water
supply and that is very local. For
the first time in the history of the
world, we are told that men who go
into these new regions must not
touch the resources which have been
the inducement for them to go into
those places 1t is absurd to talk
about the monopoly of water-power
site.
IF the conservationists are sincere,
why do they not plant trees here
where lumber is needed? Why do
they not use the immense force 60
ing to waste at Great Falls on the
Potomac? The answer is simply-be-
cause it is cheaper to use coal in
coal country than even free water
power, when the cost of installing
the necessary plant is taken into
consideration.
at can not be disputed by any one
who will give the matter even little
thought that there are two sides to
the conservation question and that
mere abuse does not answer argu-
ments.
II do not consider it legal to place
in the forest reserves thousands, even
millions of acres of pasture land,
which is rented out for grazing to
create funds for maintaining the for
est service. 1 believe in conservation;
every one believes in it who has
learned that it is we'll to earn a little
more than he consumes; but be-
lieve in 1t when it is just, practical
and legal"
"And as to Pinchot-" asked the
interviewer.
"Pinohot?" and McHarg's lips
closed in a thin, tense line: "Pin-
chot's trimmer"

Painful.

A little story comes from way back
concerning Forrest, the Gagedian.
1t was during his last appearance
at Niblo's Garden, in New York. Al
the time he was suffering untold tor
ture from the govt. A sort of run
way had to be constructed from the
stage to the dressing room, for he was
quite unable to step up or down stairs.
The performance had been "Corio.
lanus." and Forrest was petulant from
pain and tired with his work. he
stumbled against the runway, causing
such twinge in his toe as to make
him cry out with the pain.
A young actor standing by unfortu-
nately addressed the tragedian at the
wrong time. saying:
Dear me, Mr.. Forrest, that must
have been exceedingly painful"
mot half SO painful as your acting -
was the crusty response.

UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATIONS CUT.
Senator Hudnall's Bill Stops Switching
of Building Funds

MADISON, Wis, May III Special.
If the bill introduced by Senator Hud-
nall Monday night passes the Legisla-
ture. the university will receive about
three-ffths of the money asked of the
Legislature for the conduct of the state
institution for the next two years.
The Hudnall bill gives the university
OF mill tax. the same that it has re
ceived in the past, instead of the 3-S
mill tax asked by the university authori-
ties. This money is to be used for cur
rent and administration expenditures,
and for the improvement of the univer-
sity facilities An appropriation Of
5000. 900 for the fiscal years of 1910 and
1911 for construction and equipment is
nrovided for. but the switching of appro-
priations from one building to another,
which has been the practice in the past.
is prohibited. This last appropriation
nroyides for the construction of a wom-
ems and a mems dormitory. The uni
yersity is authorized to conduct an ex-
tension course, and for this purpose $50
600 is given in 1909 and $4,000 in 1910.
The bill provides that all plans for all
buildings shall be submitted by the
building committee of the board of re-
cents to the governor, together with the
Specifications and proposed cost of same,
and that no construction work shall be
begun until the plans have been ap-
proved by the governor,

church in 1863, and in 1870 was made
an elder with license to preach.
1t was, acting under this license, that
for the past thirty Eight years Elder
Hyde frequently conducted regular re-
ligious services. officiated at many fu-
nerals and performed the marriage cere-
mony. No call was ever made upon him
in vain, and he gave spiritual comfort
to many in whose last hours he was
helpful with his cheerful religion and
great-hearted love toward his fellow
men. Among public institutions where
his aid. both financial and spiritual,
were freely bestowed, were the Protes-
tant Home for the Aged, the House Of
Mercy and Rescue Mission.
Knew Death Was Near
The day following the death of Judge
Palmer, Elder Hyde, lifelong friend,
himself upon the borderland, paid a trib-
ute to the great insurance head, saying
at its outset, Although l feel that am
going, too, L cannot pass by the oppor-
tunity to express my high regard for
Judge Palmer"
Words of the highest regard for the
character, the honest, sincere and most
useful Christian and business life of Ell
der Hyde, come from those who knew
him best, including Rev. G. A. Scott,
pastor of Grand Avenue NJ. e. church
Rev. Enoch Perry of Wesley NJ. E..
church, e. ]. Lindsay, L. NJ. Alexan-
der, president of the Merchants and Man
perintendent of the House of Mercy;
Mrs. Isabel Tlllman, matron of the
Protestant Home for the Aged, and
many others, each of whom pointed to
some strong characteristic of the earnest
life and work of Elder Hyde.
