A REPLY.

In reply to Zion Baptist notes
of last week: There has been a
radical change in the previous
administration and we don see
why there would not be a grand
success as A. w. Williams and
wife has been SO prosperous in
the past two years.
AS for changing the superin
tendent and teacher you think
you have put the better in place
of the bad. l hope that God will
provide you with sufficient know.
ledge and wisdom to fit you for
superintendent and teachers for
the Sunday school in the future
day.
Mrs. Williams has the right
to love children and the exclu
sive right, because she has none,
The great work that has been
done by A. W. Williams and wife
in church and Sunday SCI DOL is
unknown to church and commuu
ity at large.
Mr.. Williams has done more
for Zion than any other pastor
and that is stuck when he WASH t
wanted.
We admit he is an able pastor
but he has not been able to raise
his salary since he has been EN-.
poyed by the Zion Baptist
church.
If there is any church in the
United States that you think you
could pastor it would be graft
hcation to accept it.
Yours truly,

FORMER DECISION REVERSED
Claimed to Have Secured Control OF

Formerly Dismissed.

New York, N. Y.-The trial of the
$50, 900, 900 suit of the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining company against the
American Sugar Refining company
was begun here before Judge Holt in
the United States district court. The
suit is brought under the Sherman
antitrust law, So 600, 900 damages in
triplicate being claimed against the
American Sugar Refining company
which is alleged to have closed down
the Philadelphia plant of the Penn
s~ylvania company after securing a
controlling interest and putting its own
representatives on the board OF
directors. In 1908 the suit vas dismis-
sed on the ground that there was no
cause of action under the Sherman law

MAKING Tariffs.

The New York Journal of Commerce
which is ~fiercely opposed to Aldrich's
tariff. which it calls an "abomination,"
recalls this old Oliver commission that
President Arthur appointed to gather
information as to the tariff and make
recommendations. 1t will be remem-
bered that while made up of high pro.
tectionists, the commission recon-.
mended a great reduction of the tariff.
Congress tore its report to pieces and
made a higher tariff. With that com
mission the Journal says the practice
of giving hearings to the interests"
began. 1t is afraid any new commits
sion, though differently made, would
not have a much better effect. 1t
says:
What 1t did or recommended would
be as completely at the mercy of con.
gress and its committees as any Off
cial information or suggestion is now.
There is no lack of facts and inferma-
ton or the means of obtaining them
and the method of treating the sub
iect in congress has no relation to
such a deficiency. Our great need is a
radical change in the tariff policy of
the United States, in the principle
upon which it is framed and the meth
DDS by which it is put into effect. The
hand Of the favored interests must be
stricken off from the motive power
of revenue legislation"

All Denounce Proposed Tariff Bill.

L4l
The Springfield Republican says
that the country is again being
wheedled and fooled into complais-
ance. with more tariff for more trust
protection by arguments that destroy
themselves. 1t is time for the people
to wake up TO this ever-continuing,
more-tariff iniquity, and we are glad
to note some indication of an awak-
ening." The Republican believes that
the president will veto the bill. 9th
erwise his administration would start
off with so heavy a discredit mark
against it as to weigh 1t down In the
popular estimation throughout the rest
of his term" The New York Evening
Post says that by the senate bill "the
Republican is threatened not only
with failure, but disgrace" The New
York Globe says the country lis not
to be tricked by after-the-event verbal
analysis" The New 1oN Tribune
calls for a reduction of the Dingley
schedules Sin accordance with good
national and consequently with good
party policy" The New York World
calls upon the president to exercise
his veto and assures him that he
need not fear the political conse-
q%uences." And SO the chorus grows
louder and louder, but the senate
seems to hear nothing of it.
