OBJECTS TO INCREASED
TARIFF ON PIG LEAD
Senator eristow, Of Kansas, says
Plan To Raise Rate Flve-Eighths

WASHINGTON, May S.-When the
senate met today Senator Aldrich
called up the lead schedule again,
the special theme for discussion be-
ing paragrenh $50, awhtch imposes a
rate of two and One-eighth cents a
pound on lead, pig or bullion.
This Is the same a. the Dingley
rate, which was reduced by the Payne
bill to one and one half cents.
Bristow, OF Kansas, led lively
tight against the proposed increase
over tho Payne bill. He voted for a
duty of one and one-half cents on
lead ore yesterday, but protested to-
day vigorously against making the
tariff on pig lead five-eighths OF a
cent a pound higher This meant an
increase of $3.50 ton. and vas ex-
orbitant. he said, because 1t cost only
from IS to $40 a ton to convert the
ore into pig or bullion.
Senator Smoot kept up a running
fire Of debate with Bristow claiming
that the figures quoted by the Kan
sas statesman from the testimony OF
witnesses who appeared before the
ways and means committee did not
fairly represent the facts in the case.
The people of the country. as a
whole, are more concerned in having
this bill right than the business inter-
ests are in having 1t passed quickly"

would rather stay here until Deem

SOME PROGRESS
BUT NOT MUCH
The News Calls for Reduced 0bjec-
tionable Ads, but Still Takes EN-
at Advanced Rales.

Clean advertising has made some
progress since the reproduction in The
Times week ago OF sample medical
pages from the News and the Free
Press, showing the amazing amount of
filth these long established family
journals" are willing to print for pay.
This progress does not go so far as
shamefacedness and repentance, nor
even to giving up the money. II Is

II proceeds on the principle that
nastiness is tolerable IL not too bold.
The shame is not In disseminating
fllthiness and fraud-so the reasoning
of these newspapers seems to run
but In being so alfred bold about 1t.
Therefore the advertising doctors
have been sadjured to be more modest
and discreet in exploiting their stuff.
This relates to the News only; the
Free Press hasn't done anything yet
for appearances sake.
Nastiness in the News henceforth
must confine itself to eighteen inches

decided to ride down to the yard.
AS he sat down on the seat he re-
marked to the conductor that II was
cold. In the car were about twenty
sailors and three officers. His remark
was overheard by all the occupants OF
the car. Immediately the whole twenty
three jumped up, pulled bottles from
their pockets and each offered him a
drink.
Hammond tells his friends that he
wanted the drink but he did not want
twenty-three. He expressed his wishes,
and said he would take drink from
the lowest man in rank. The men
looked around and then six sailors
stepped forward and offered their bot
ties. Again Hammond was in a guam
dary. Then he lit on the happy thought
which brought the drink. He said he
would take II from the man highest in
rank, and the rest could drink with
him. In response to this suggestion,
one of the officers stepped forward said
he was chief master-of-arms and, he
believed the highest ranked man on
the car. He offered his bottle. An
other bottle was handed to the officer,
and with a toast to the man-of-war-
man Hammond took his morning nip
with the conductor and motorman as
interested spectators, officers and
sailors drinking with him.
