Discuss Liquor Issue.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 1S-The
first of a series of three national de-
bates on the prohibition question will
take place in Milwaukee on Friday
evening, March 26, between Mayor
David S. Rose, of Milwaukee, and Prof.
Samuel A. Dickie, of Albion, Mich. Pro-
fessor Dickie will argue that prohibi-

intoxicating liquor is right, and Mayor

try to show that prohibition is wrong.

probably be held in Chicago, and the
third one will probably be held in one
of the large cities of the south, but the
places for the next two discussions

The report accompanying the bill,
which was presented by Payne, is
made UP In the main Of extracts from
the statement regarding the schedules
which was yesterday given out by
l Payne; but. the Introductory portion of
1t is devoted to an explanation of the
committee' reasons for its course. The
two principal reasons for readjustment
Of the schedules are given.
The first Is that after lapse OF
twelve yedrs since the enactment OF the
Dingley law, many new complications
Ia the tariff have arisen and 1t is stated
public demand has been confirmed by
Information received by the committee
since It began its investigation.
In the second place it is stated that
{ since the Dingley bill went. into effect
q large number of foreign countries
4 have adopted tariffs with maximum
{ and minimum rates, so section 3 OF
/ the present law is not regarded as slf-
Aciently broad to meet the changed
Condition, ass these new foreign tariffs
force q higher rate on a large part of
our exports. The committee expresses
t1,e opinion that the new bill is SO
constructed that these conditions will
be fully met.
1t is stated the bill proposes a re-
duced rate on the bulk of imported ar
ticles The committee then undertakes
TO give an idea of the important char
acter Of the bill has been no easy task.
4 The popular demand for cutting rates
lis referred to, and against this is the
set republican policy OF protection.
whose cardinal principle, it is stated,
lis protection of American industries
and American workmen against the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad. The necessity for
more revenue at the present time is
also discussed at some length.

Large Crowd Greet. Taft.

New York, March 1S--When Presi-
dent Taft arrived at Jersey City this
afternoon a large crowd greeted him
at the railroad station. The president
was escorted to the Dwenty-third
brother, Henry Taft, for luncheon.
President Taft's address was not
only eulogy Of Ex-President Cleve-
land. but it incidentally referred to
many public questions which were
dealt with during Cleveland's admins
tration. He said Cleveland was as COM
pletely American in his character as
Lincoln. The president sketched
Cleveland's career as mayor, governor,
and president, and said the chief char
acteristics were his, simplicity, hon
esty, courage OF convictions, and with
a sense of public duty that had been
exceeded by no statesman within the
speakers knowledge. 1t was so strong
in him that he rarely wrote anything,
whether in the form of private or
public communication, that the obliga-
tion of all men to observe the public
interest was not his chief theme.
No Danger Of Executive Usurpation.
AZ oAoSooSAiA6 SASNSAeAAAo AAAS s~A
ministration. Taft said:
I'VE hear much in these days of the
usurpation of legislation by the exc
cutive branch of the government. AS
long as the legislative branch has the
power of purse the danger of execu-
tive usurpation is imaginative. The
real danger arises from the disposition
of the legislative branch to assume the
omnipotence of parliament and that 1t
may completely control the discretion
conferred upon the executive by the
constitution. The country is under OBJ
legations to Cleveland for having
pointed out in his controversy with the
republican senate during his first term
some Of the limitations that there are
in the constitution upon attempted
legislative action to restrict executive
discretion"
Why Cleveland was Great.
The president said in conclusion:
"Grover Cleveland earned the sin
cere gratitude of his countrymen, and
justified the recurring memorial oc-
casions like the one in which we are
taking part. He was a great president,
not because he was a great lawyer, not
because he was a brilliant orator, not
because he was a statesman of pro-
found learning, but because he was q
patriot with the highest sense of pub
lie duty; because he was statesman
of clear perceptions, of the ,utmos-
courage of his convictions, of great
pIainness of speech; because he was
a man of the highest character, q
father and husband of the best type !;
because thruout his political life he
showed those rugged virtues of the
public servant and citizen, the emula
ton of which by those who follow him
will render the progress of our polit.
ical life towards better things a cer-
tainty"
