Press comments on the presidents message
are interesting on account of the points on
which they all agree and the erroneous con-

All agree that it is sound, conservatively

bounds of executive authority. Because Mr..
Taft does not adopt his literary style and his
inclinations do not run to the same kind of

& THE SONG OF THE SHIRT WAIST.

:, 4 With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
+ A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
s. Plying her needle and thread
Stitch stitch stitch!
In poverty hunger and dirt,
And still with voice of dolorous pitch
Is She sang the song of the shirt
IL Thomas Hood were to begin today his
composition of 1.-THE Song of the Shirt, he
might be compelled to change the rhyme of his
fourth stanza to fit the circumstances of the
ladies' shirt waist makers strike, in which 40
600 sweat shop girls in New York City are de-
manding living wages, humane hours, decent
places to work and the right to organize I'M
ion 1t is true that men are the manufacturers;
but women by the same cooperative efforts
could accomplish reform in the shirt waist
industry quicker than they could secure the
ballot.
The stanza referred to goes
Oh, Men with Sisters dear
Oh Men, with Mothers and Wives!
It's not the linen you re wearing out,
But human creatures lives!
Hoods "song" was written many years ago;
but it struck true chord in the human heart.
Peace, happiness and the true brotherhood of
man cannot come while the soul cries
Oh, God! that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood 50 cheap
And while men and women work
AS prisoners work for crime

At Grace Church.

That man is placed on the earth
by God, man knows not why; that
the future offers only darkness and
the present only confusion to him,
while the past throws no light on the
problem. is the proposition PROFOUND
ed by the Rev. ID. c. Wright In his
morning sermon at Grace Episcopal
church yesterday. Men were asking
for a solution of the mystery when
Christ appeared. lie did not give
them new truths. lie did not offer
them a theory.
lie offered himself.
When they asked for the truth, he
said, IL am the truth"
When they asked for the way, he
said, 81 am the way"
He said follow me-" to those who
would solve the riddle of life.
lie had no harsh words for the SIN
ner. He hated most OF all hypocrisy
and deceit. He is absolutely true,
absolutely right. He told those he
met on earth that If they would live
as he did all the problems of this
life and the life to come would be
solved.
He was deemed crazy by his own
family; cast out by his church; de-
serted by his friends. and put TO
death. lie was considered too much
OF a disturber TO live.
Yet, his words are truth, as he is
truth. All the advance made by the
world has been achieved because
some one has had the courage to put
his doctrine 10 the test and live az he
lived. 1t has been the struggle TO
initiate Christ that has brought about
all the good and worthy. lasting prog
ress OF humanity. II is what the
world Is calling for today. as il did In
the first century.

order II was announced yesterday that
the government here wishes only 20
make II impossible for Castro 20 make
further trouble. There have been ali
sorts OF rumors concerning conditions IN
Venezuela. One was that Gomez was
about 70 renounce the Presidency. The
State Department. concerned about this
detail OF the general problem. has cabled
10 Caracas asking for information.
Trying to Drive Him In.
Il seems 70 be the desire OF this gov
ernment 70 drive Castro into Venezuela.
II II should happen that Gomez is not
strong enough 20 resist Castro's popu-
laTity in Venezuela, the situation there
would be worse than ever. Castro un-
doubtedly IS still strong Many OF the
oficeholders were appointed by him. He
Is the only man who ever paid his army.
and he has many supporters IN that
branch Of the government service. Then.
too, there Is no question about the re-
cent agreements reached between the
new government and foreign powers be-
ing unpopular In the country These
things tend to give Castro considerable
strength. and Gomez may not have the
power 10 dc as ne pIeases with Castro.
The present Venezuelan President win
doubtless be encouraged in taking drastic
action by the fact that he has the sup
port OF many other nations.
In glancing over the map OF the West
Indies, the state Department overlooked
ST. Thomas. Danish West Indies, as a
place where Castro might take refuge.
SL Thomas has always been a haven
for revolutionists. This fact Is not con-
sidered important, for II Castro goes
there the Danish government will bC
asked 10 turn him away. and there is no
reason for believing Denmark will refuse

the Democratic attitude IN the tariff
struggle. which win be precipitated upon
the upper branch OF Congress next week.
VIII be revenue.
so far as can be learned. there viii
be less than half a dozen Democratic
Senators who will advocate free hides,
free lumber, or anything free OF that
particular nature. The Democrats viii
advocate placing upon the free list only
the necessities Of life. For instance, II
is pointed out that a s. duty on lumber
is but y per cent sd valorem. and II Is
doubtful II many Senate democrats VIII
object TO a s. rate.
Think Revenue Needed.
ON hides a IS per cent duty may no,
be strenuously opposed by the Democrats.
II is the same way through the entire list
except where the bare necessities OF life
are involved.
The Senate Democrats say. that is. an
overwhelming majority OF them. that 1,
is useless TO hope that under the ex-
travagance Of a Republican administra-
ton expenses viii decrease. They are
bound. therefore. TO attempt TO hx rates
that will pay the legitimate expenses OF
the government. and IN doing that they
hold raw materials should bear a tariff
FOR revenue as well as the manufactured
product.
&" Tt is laudable 20 help the consumer,
said a Democratic Senator to-day, but
We have simply got 10 raise revenue

planning their course. say that. as be-
tween the free list and the prOhibitory
list, there Is revenue point which. IN

Senator Bailey. Of Texas. member OF
the Finance Conil.iis.ee. IS understood to
be drawing up an amendment, placing a
tax Of one-half OF 1 per cent on the
gross receipts OF corporations. Such a
tax would yield in the ne .ghborhood OF
