THE TARIFF ON LUMBER.
The Rate on Rough Lumber Cut Down
from $500 TO $l.5O Thousand.

New York, March /. The Trib-
une's special from Washington, D.
c., says:
The Committee on Ways and
Means is understood definitely to
have settled problem which has
been causing trouble since the work
of revising the tariff was begun.
An agreement has been reached to
fix the duty on rough lumber at
S1.50 thousand. This is a reduc-
tion of so cents a thousand. and
while it does not entirely satisfy
the lumber men it gives them the
reasonable assurance that the in
dustry will not be destroyed. as
they contended would have been
the case had the product been plac-
ed on the free list.
The reduction is concession to
the demands made for free lumber.
The fight over this schedule has

A Guthrie, Oklahoma, special
quotes friends of Gov. Haskell as
denying rumors of his resignation
in conequencses of the indictment
returned against him. He will
not, J" they say, retire under fire.
The contrast Of this cases with that
Of Gov. Jno. Al. Quitman. Of this
State. illustrates the change in men
and manners. Indicted by Fed
eral grand jury in New Orleans for
alleged completely in the Lopez
expedition against Cuba, Quitman
resigned; declaring that he would
be lacking in State pride and re-
gard for the propriety and the
dignity of his office, to answer as
Governor to a criminal charge. He
made his defense as a private cit
izen. and was acquitted. Under
the circumstances and according to
the political ethics of his day, Gov.
Quitnan' s resignation was looked
upon as no more than the right
thing to do. Vicksburg Herald.

not excepting steel and iron. The
chief argument offered in support of
the original proposition to place
lumber on the free list was that
there is lumber trust which fixes
prices. Government information
failed to develop the existence of
such combination and the advo-
Gates of free lumber lost some of
their strength in the Committee.
While the Republican members
were not unanimous in fixing the
duty at $l.50, they nevertheless
agreed to stand by the vote. The
new rate also has the support of q
large number of Democrats, par
ticnlarIy from the South. where
the lumber industry has grown inn
mensely under protection in recent
years.

LAW ENFORCEMENT MEETING.
Called at Jackson March l7---AIl Local
Committees Requested to Organ
ize and Send Delegates.

jackson, Miss, March l, 1909. -
Now that we have State prohibition
we are sure the whisky element and
its sympathizers have been. and
are trying to discredit prohibition
by encouraging the blind tiger, 4
the social club, and the cocaine
vendor in their violations of law.
In order that these places of in
iquity shall be put out of business
and that all violators of law in any
form shall be detected and ade-
quately punished, we have decided
to ask every community in the
State to send delegates to jackson
March II, $3.50 p. M, to organize
a State Law Enforcement
League"
We wish to emphasize the fact
that violation of the prohibition
law is the cause of 95 per cent. of
the terrible tragedies so frequently
enacted in our State. In Inaugural
ting this great movement it is our
purpose to break up these sources
of crime and sin. Our success in
this direction in our own city has
been beyond our expectations and
encourages us to believe that by
concert of action we can rid the
entire State of them. We shall not
be satisfied until we have the clean
est, safest and most law-biding city
in the South. Cooperate with US
and it will help you in your COM
munity.
We are mailing the request to
every community to organize local
League, however small, and send a
delegate or delegates to the mass
meeting here on March II. Send
names and number of delegates by
March 10th, and entertainment
will be provided. Come prepared
to stay two days, if necessary.
1t is up to the patriotic, law
abiding citizenry to see to it that
our officers are supported in the
discharge of their duty and that the
law is enforced against all classes
of criminals, and that healthy
sentiment for the majesty of the
law is aroused and fostered among
our people.

whose abnegation and loyalty as deep
as the world has ever seen in line of
battle, whose faith is as steadfast and
aim as high as ever warrior dreamed,
the Bayards of toll, the chevaliers OF
labor, forget them not. Set aside day
in their honor and 10 their memory.
For they have fought and faced their
foes alone, rendered up life brayely
lacking the stimulation of cymbals or
the Inspiration of common banner
and unlnoved by the pomp and glory
of war. They have lived unnoted and
died while the world looked the other
way. Tell the story of the heroes of in
dustry in which all who give life that
others may live and be fed, clothed,
educated, are all heroes. We need the
lesson, for we forget that widow
who bends above the washtub for her
children is greater than Alexander or
Charlemagne.
But leave the S0th OF May to the men
it honors. Il is the milestone that
marks the vanishing march OF heroes.
