 Is It Better To Be shot or Starved Ts Editor The Adyertiseri
 When 1 read the frank manner In which the President assumed all re- sponsibtiity for the merging of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company into the Steel Trust, like many others, I was at first disposed to condemn him for it. The reason assigned by him seemed specious, at first sight. but on weighing the matter more carefully. was 1t not. after all. matter of expe- diency--a choosing of the lesser Of two

WE'LL, LET IT BE.

Referring to a recent editorial in The Advertiser in which we took the position that if the Legislature of Oregon should elect & Republican Senator instead of Chamberlain, who was nominated at a regular primary, the Senate of the United States should not permit him to be seated if 1t has the power to prevent it, The Rich mond Times-Dispatch says: -.
 The Advertiser. we respectfully sub- mt mt, IS entirely apart of the mark and would have nothing to do with the matter It would not be supposed to knoW anything about the primary of the wSo, of the ease which outside elections as prescribed by the Federal constitution and the statute law in ssS66tTfmity s6on1a tSs orssan with that instrument a Republican senator in due form not even the provision of the Constitution that each house shall be the judge or ti the election returns and qunlifica- the Senate to interfere as adequate construction of that provision shows. However we have no idea that the Legislature will flout tho mandate of the people. To do so would amount to party suicide, unless the voters are dead to all sense of resentment of trayed of political trust. And that we imagine they are not.
 We did not even intimate a belief that a Republican Senate could be expected to reject a Senator-elect merely because he had been elected by plain breach of faith neither did we as. sert that 1t would have the power to do so; we stated that if the Oregon Legis- lature should do such a thing the man thus elected ought not to be allowed to occupy seat in the highest leg islative body in the country. We were not affirming that the proper thing to do Is possible or probable.
 The primary which selected MT. Chamberlain, the Democratic candi- date. was regularly held and was participated in by all the voters who cared to take part in it. The Demo- crats were successful and the Legts- lature should endorse their action or else one of Oregon's Senatorial chairs should remain empty. We do not charge that the Legislature of that state could be guilty of such a dis creditable action, but we know that some of the prominent Republicans of Oregon favor it, and we know that if is not impossible; that is all about if

One species of Tariff Hog.

Charlotte (N. CD Observer.
 Some over coddled beneficiaries Of the tariff have been spoiled as children are spoiled by toe much indulgence For example, the manufacturers of coal tar colors. At the committee hearing on chemicals, oils and paints these inter- ests demanded an increase from thirty per cent. ad valorum to forty. They urged that German colors better than they can make are now being sold in this country for less than the cost Of manufacture here. It was not denied that German producers must import for raw material the petroleum which abounds in the United States and pos- sesses virtually no advantage of any de scription except superior technical skill. The principal ground upon which thS coaI-tar people demanded higher duty was that the Germans have SD improved their processes within recent years that Americans can no longer compete suc- cessfully even with the aid of thirty per cent. tariff. Asked why they had not through ingenuity, scientific re- search or imitation improved their own processes correspondingly. the com- plaihants were apparently taken by surprise. They had been relying upon the tariff to protect them not only against foreign competition but their own shortcomings as well. In their view. the remedy for the trouble com plained of was simply to make the American manufacturer consuming coal tar colors use domestic products as in- ferior in quality and as high in price as they might offer And they are by no means the only people who during the

 But there Is one suggestion that is worth considering. and that refers to localities where earthquakes may be expected. and we know that they may be expected in all volcanic regions near the seas. No modern building of brick or stone can withstand such shocks as those just recorded. A structure entirely of wood may be practically safe. but wood is too scarce. Iron and steel buildings may be so constructed that they would not suffer from earthquakes, but brick and stone huoses are not even measurably safe. If, for example. counterpart of the Italian horror should visit New York the human mind could not even imagine the extent of the calamity or the sacrifice of human life that would ensus.
 And so we arrive at the conclusion that whether or not 1t is possible to predict or prevent earthquakes there Is hope of safety in the methods of house construction. If any safeguard lies within human power it should be adopted. Humanity stands appalled, before the unexampled disaster that has just visited sunny Italy, and cer- tainly such means as are. humanly possible should be adopted as & safe guard against like disasters eIse- where.
