LESSON FOR TIE WHOLE RACE.
Harmony That Might Be If Each
Would But Do His Part.

There is no prettier sight in the
world than a column of choir boys
entering church and singing the
professional as they slowly march to
the altar, declares a writer in the Co
lumbus Journal. There is youth in its
sweetest aspect-bright-face boys in
all their health and hope, engaged in a
beautiful religious ceremony, stepping
In harmony to the fairest ideals of
worship. But it is more than a mere
ceremony. 1t has a lesson for ala
lesson of the happiest import. See
that little boy in the procession
capped in white, the sunrise on his
brow, and singing out of his heart
noble melody. He is only a part of a
great harmony, and modestly he does
his part, content to be simply one to
blend his voice in the sweet strain of
worship.
The lesson touches closely huma-
experience. Here we are, a greal
crowd gathered on the earth, each one
engaged in some service, to his coun-
try, to humanity, to home, to business,
or perhaps some poorer one-how like
that little boy in the professional
might it be. if every one would add a
beautiful note to the harmony of life
and lose himself in the procession
marching toward the affairs of the
common good.

A Bows ESSAY on Ducks.

A schoolboy assigned to prepare an
essay on ducks, wrote: 1.-THE duck is
low, heavy-set bird composed mostly
OF meat and feathers. He is a mighty
poor singer, having a hoarse voice,
caused by getting so many frogs ia his
neck. He likes the water and carries
a toy balloon In his stomach to keep
from sinking. The duck has only two
legs and they are set so far back on
his running gears by nature that they
came pretty near missing his body
Some ducks when they get big have
curls on their tails and are called
brakes. brakes don't have to set
or hatch, but just loaf, go swimming
and eat. II was to be duck I'd ratl,-

Don't Hurt the Birds.

Every farmer and fruit grower
should be interested in the work of
protecting the native birds. They
represent valuable assistants in agri-
cultural and horticult are whose labors
cannot be duplicated by the introduce
ton of any other forces. They destroy
the insects and keep the fruit trees
clean of pests that otherwise might
ruin the annual harvests. They lend
assistance just at the proper time and
enable the soil tillers TO get good re-
turns for their labors.-Seattle Post

Chairman Payne Explains the
Measure In the House
REVENUE HE LOOKS FOR
The Inheritance Tax Feature, He Says,
Ought to Provide for an Add
tiOnal Revenue Of s2o,oOo,oOo
Year.

Washington, March 23.--General de-
bate on the Payne tariff bill was begun
IN the House yesterday Mr.. Payne of
New York, chairman OF the committee
on ways and means, took the floor "a
explain the provisions of the bill He
was applauded as he began his speech
The protective tariff system. he said
was approved by the American people
The wonderful growth of the United
States, he said, was due TO the protec-
tive tariff. The entire surplus from the
ningley law since its enactment has
been about Si25.OO0.000.
The Dinghy law, he said, had not
brought into the treasury q surplus dur
ing every year Of its enactment. He re-
ferred TO the rapid increase for the
maintenance Of the army, the navy, and
the other branches of the government.
New conditions had arisen, he said,
but could not be met under the Ding
ley law, and foreign competitors were
receiving better tariff arrangements
TINA the United States could obtain.
Revenues during the last several years
had been falling below the expenditures.
These causes led up to the movement
for the revision OF the tariff.
Mr.. Payne said that his committee
had been engaged for many months col
lecting information. All the foreign
and domestic branches Of the govern
ment were utilized TO gather informa-
ton for the committee. Much work Of
this sort, he said, was done in antici-
potion of the tariff revision.
lie said that the members Of the
committee had prepared the bill with
out the assistance of the Democratic
members in order TO report the bill
promptly at the opening of the special
session. He declared that il was not
the intention OF the House to raise the
money for the construction of the Pana-
ma Canal by means of the tariff bill.
The inheritance tax feature of the
bill, he said, ought to provide an addi-
tional revenue of S20.0o0,000 q year.
Mr.. Payne said that the canal should
be paid for by the issuance OF bonds.
aThe Panama Canal" he said, SIS be-
ing built for the ages and should be
paid for by the ages"
If the bill is passed. he declared, no
business win suffer and labor viii con-
tinue to receive proper compensation
for it's product.
The measure, he said, would prevent
foreign nations from invading our
markets. Foreign nations, he added,
would immediately avail themselves Of
the minimum rates OF the bill.
Referring to changes made by the bill,
Mr.. Payne said that the increases were
few Duties on perfumeries and toilet
articles had been raised. Underground
species had been transferred from the
free to the dutiable list The duty on
wigs, he added, had been increased.
