Here's a new worry for the tariff
revisionists. The business men of
France are opposed to the Payne tar
If bill. Probably there are protec-
tionists in this country of sufficient
~ ardent type to insist that United
States tariff law should protect
French business interests by all means.

THOSE PRESENT WERE


patches, the tariff debate has now
reached that dramatic stage where
the only ones who attend the sessions
of the house are the members who
are on the list for the day to discuss
the bill, in some of it's varied phases,
and the usual force of clerks and
newspaper correspondents
This is the inspiring spectacle Of
making a tariff.
No one heard the speeches. Few
read the speeches in the COMPRESSION
al Record, yet this Is the approved
and long accepted way of making a
tariff
Congress would do better work if
the members all should go into one
room, take up the tariff bill item by
item, and give chance for the
members to. hear expert testimony on
the contested points.
Even this method would be exceed
fngly bunglesome. What would be of
much more practical value would be
the creation of special commission,
composed of expertsNin business, COM
merce, manufacture agriculture and
other branches. and allow this COM
mission to sift the evidence and make
its recommendations to congress.
When such a method of tariff MAX
ing is adopted, it will not be necessary
for the dispatches to report the ludi-
crous spectacle of a member of congress
ing out Niagaras of statistics, and
having volcanic eruptions of oratory
to the empty benches of the hall of
the house.-Salina Journal.

Tale of the Foolish Toad.

A toad, led to believe that spring
had reached here, had a painful ex-
perience Sunday night. A trench was
being dug for a sewer connection in
Claremont avenue, and to thaw the
frozen earth fires were built along the
line.
The toad feeling the warmth, awoke
from it's winters sleep and fastened
to the surface. Just then passing
smoker threw away the burning
stump of a cigar, which rested on a
small twig that held it about two
inches above the ground. The toad,
on the lookout for a square meal,
probably thinking the FREELY season
had arrived made a jump for the
stump and bolted it.
The toad jumped in the air about
three feet, then alighted on the side

other jump, which was followed by
a third. Then the toad hoped MIN

Bobby Was So Nervous.
1t was moving day for the summer

old gentleman from the west. At

ed the train, bearing respectively the
family treasurers-one poodle, one
gray cat in a blue blanket and one
travelling clock in a much worn 1eath-
er case.
The party had no sooner found
seats across from the Westerner than
it became apparent that the excite
ment of boarding the train had caused
commotion among the pets. The
cat was chided for talking aloud.
Calm yourself, Bobby said his mis-
tress. BE yourself once more-we
are now on our way home" Where
upon Bobby grew calm.
The poodle became restless in the
company of his master on a seat in
front and signified his yearning for
Bobby's company by climbing up the
back of the seat and casting goo-goo
eyes at the tabby. The sympathetic
mistress understood at once, and said:
