governors which he proposes to hold
he will suggest the necessity for more
uniform laws on the part of states for
the handling of the child labor, pure
food, and divorce questions and also
for the adequate regulation of corpor-
ations by states. He believes that the
divorce evil in this country should be
curbed with a strong hand. and this
can only be done by the states. 1t can
only be accomplished by them, too,
with something like uniformity in
their laws governing this matter
which is so vital to the welfare of So
ciety.
Such is the case on the other topics
mentioned. The necessity for uni
form and effective laws by the various
states for the regulation of railroads
and other corporations ought to be
apparent to everyone. Just think of
the confusion incident to the opera
ton of railroad through a half doz-
en- states where there are as many
and different laws regulating the rail-
roads conduct in almost each and
every particular. This is also the case
in regard to child labor laws and those
governing the manufacture and sale
OF foods. AS Mr.. Taft realizes that the
federal government has not the power
to deal with these questions adequate
ly. The states must do the work and
they ought to have general and
comprehensive plan to work on. And
II Mr.. Taft can bring the various
states of the union to the point where
they will see things in this right way,
he will have accomplished an excel
lent undertaking and one that will
shed considerable lustre on his admin
istration.

THE PRINT PAPER TARIFFS.

Mr. Aldrich and his particular
friends in the United States senate
are continuing their work of revising
thetariff on most things by raising
the schedules which were decided
upon by the house of representatives.
Among the latest commodities to be
handled in this fashion is print
paper. There has been a general
demand on the part of the users of
print paper for the removing of the
tariff on 1t entirely and also on the
material from which the paper is
made. The house of representatives
listened to this plea to the extent of
reducing the rate in the Dingley law
on print paper to 50 ton. But Mr..
Aldrich, with his ever ready votes,
has put it back to 81 a ton.
Senator GaIlinger of New Hamp-
shire is of the Aldrich crowd and he
made one of the principal speeches in
favor of a high duty on paper. If
he had had his way, he would have
made the duty higher than 81 ton
And he presented some wonderful
arguments. or rather handed out
some peculiar facts to sustain his
position and show the necessity for a
duty on paper. He said that print
paper was sold cheaper in the United
States today than in any other coun-
try. In the next breath he said that
labor in the paper mills of Canada
was thirty per cent cheaper than the
similar labor in this country and that
the cost of paper material was ma
! terially less in Canada than it is
| here.
If these things are the truth as re-
CARDS to paper business in Canada
and other countries, as Senator Gal
1inger said they were, and if it is also
a fact as he contends. that print
| paper is now sold cheaper in the
United States than in any other land
| how, in the name of common sense
is a high tariff going to protect in any
way the manufacturers of paper in
this country? Or, how would they be
harmed if print paper was on the
free list? According to Mr.. Gal
Iinger they are now selling theil
paper cheaper than it is sold in othel
countries where the labor in tn
paper mills and the material 70
paper making costs less.

FROM OTHER PENS
LET BITTERNESS CEASE.

The case of Captain Samuel c. Lem
ly is peculiarly touching one. in that
disease has removed an able, ambitious
man from the profession of his life at
an age when he should be at his prime.
In his persent affliction no one can
withhold from him genuine sympathy
and the earnest hope that he may soon
be restored to health.
With the strange persistence OF I'M
pleasant things, Captain LemlyS con-
nection with the celebrated -Schley-
Sampson controversy has been remem-
bered too long. He has been severe
" criticised for what he did as judge
advocate of the navy during the in
curry, and some of the bitterness that
developed then has fingered until now.
Possibly the suffering caused by the
knowledge of this has had something
to do with Captain Lemly's condition.
When time has cooled mans opin-
ions and the history of the proceedings
before that court of inquiry Is old
enough to be regarded with an impair
tial view, we venture to say that it
| will be found that Captain Lemly per-
formed his duty as he saw it, and no
more than that. He had been an of
| ficer of the navy for rs years, and
believed in the force of the navy rules.
Without regard to personal feelings,
| friendships or sentiments, he did his
best to carry them out.-Washington
