PAPER ON RAILROAD TARIFFS


PAPER ON RAILROAD TARIFFS
Judge Call was detained in Los An
geies and the paper was read by Henry
NJ. Mcdonald, secretary of the jefferson
club of Los Angeles. The paper de-
nounced republican railroad regulation
laws as imperative and a mere sham
and advocated giving the interstate
commerce commission full power to fix
as well as control all rates. He also
urged the establishment of d commerce
court
In regard to the tariff Judge Call ad-
vocated a suspension OF duties on any
article upon which a mnnopolX exists in
this country, ana the admission free of
duty of all articles that can not be
produced n commercial quantity in this
country.
He recommended .harbor and water
way Improvement. the vigorous prose-
cution of all yiolators of the laws
against trusts and monopolies, direct
primaries and nominations. the initia-
tive and referendum and the direct
election of Uuited states senators.
The discussion on the subject treated
by Judge Call was led by Seth Mann,
who declared that unless proper super
vision of railroads could be secured
through extending the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, the
only remaining alternative would be
government ownership.
The discussion was also taken part in
by Senator Caminetti, J. Aubrey Jones
of Fruitvale, Henry NJ. Mcdonald of
Los Angeles, Thomas E. Gibbon of Los
Angeles and Theodore A. Bell
ATTACK ON TARIFF
Thomas E. Gibbon addressed the con-
ference on "The Uses and Abuses of the
Tariff" declaring that in its present
operation the tariff was not protecting
consumers and individual industries,
but simply protecting great orga MIA
tions of capital Senator O. w Cart
wright led the discussion, in which J.
Aubrey Jones, ]. F. Farraher of Yreka
and Charles Gildea joined
James u. PheIan treated both the
income tax and the central bank prof.
ects in a paper combining both sub
iects. He gave the former unqualified
Endorsement as the most equitable
method of taxation, but denounced the
central bank proposition as a means of
concentrating control of capital in n
few. hands and creating a money trust.
On formal motion his paper was adopt-
ed as expressing the sentiments of the
conference on the two subjects treated.
The afternoon session was adjourned
after the passage Of a resolution of
thanks to the St. Francis hotel for the
quarters provided for the holding of
the meeting. Prior to adjournment.
however, a resolution was adopted
calling upon all democrats to con-
tribute to fund to be raised by
monthly subscriptions for carrying on
the work of organization and keeping
up headquarters in San Francisco

An African Cannibsl Race.

One of the queer customs Of the
Baamba race in Africa is cannibalism
of a particularly loathsome form, ac-
cording to writer in the Geograph-
1cal Journal. Families exchange their
young children, who are then eaten.
He continues that the Baamba In
many cases file their teeth, but this
practice is not quite general. They
are jovial despite these singular char
acteristics. The Bunyoros, another
tribe, have an unpleasant custom of
extracting the four lower incisors,
which causes the upper teeth to grow
forward, imparting to their mouths a
most unbecoming rabbit-like appear
ance. The Bahima, he says again. be-
lieve vaguely in an all powerful diety,
who is associated mainly with rain,
thunder and other weather phenome-
ma. They endeavor to propitiate va
rious devils, most of whom are con-
nected with the prevalent diseases, by
erecting joss houses in which food and
beer are placed. They invariably car
ry round the neck wooden charms or
small goats horns which have been
invested with magical power by the
medicine men and usually wear wire
bracelets and anklets.

How TROPICAL Fruits Are Protecfed

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.
It. may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseous rinds, which need to be torn
off before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get
at them and eat them. Our northern
strawberries, raspberries, currants and
whortleberries, developed with a sin
gle eye to the pretty robins and fnches
of temperate climes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand. They are meant for small
birds to devour and to dispense the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bride OF the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas,
plantains, mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them. They lay them
selves out for dispersion by monkeys,
toucans and other relatively large and
powerful fruit eaters, and the 'rind is
put there as barrier against small
thieves who would rob the sweet pulp
but be absolutely incapable of carry
ing away and dispensing the large and
richly stored seeds it covers.-Cornhill
Magazine.

broad groundwork for teaching sue
cessfully in high schools, normal

them efficient in things pertaining t.

This college course is superior to the

Physiology, anatomy, 3bacteriology.

in the schools as sciences, the aim be
ing to brighten the intellect, cultivate

the application of these sciences to the
promotion of good health and economy

in domestic science lessons on home

The Post Of Private Tutor In New York
l.. In 1898.
When young Englishman named
John Davis landed in New York in
1898 it was his intention to become the
architect of his own fortune by getting
into some family as a private tutor.
This schome he confded to Mr.. Carl
tat, a bookseller, only to be discour-
aged. "Alas," runs the gentleman's
statement in page of Mr. Davis book,
entitled "Travels Of Four and Half
Years In the United States of Ameri.
ca" "the labor Of Sisyphus is not equal
to that of private tutor in America"
"Let me examine you little," said
the bookseller do you write a good
hand and understand all the intricacies
Of calculation"
"No."
'"Then you will not do for q private
tutor. 1t is not your Latin and Greek,
but your handwriting and ciphering,
that will decide your character. Pen
| manship and the figures of arithmetic
will recommend you more than logic
| and the figures Of rhetoric. Can you
! passiyely submit to be called school,
master by the children and cool massa'
by the negroes:"
no.
''Then you will not do for a private
tutor. Can you comply with the hui
mility of giving only one rap at the
door that the family may distinguish
that it is the private tutor, and can you
wait half an hour with good humor on
the steps till the footman or house
maid condescends to open the door,"

'"Then you will not do for a private
tutor. Can you maintain a profound
silence in company to denote your in
feriority, and can you endure to be

Cabbage Worm Is
=" Very Destructive.
Paris Green Recommended as
the Best Insecticide for De.

The cabbage worm is a destructive
pest, but there Is no need If losing
crop of cabbages through is ravages.
In August the worms are especially
active, and thousands of little white
butterflies will hatch and again lay
their eggs to develop in few days
soon attains, the chrysalts stage again
occurs, and in week or two another
crop of butterflies develops to con-
tinue procreation and injure the crop.
Paris green Is q deadly poison to
the worm. Comparatively little is re-
quired to kill it and most entomol-
ogists recommend it as the best in
secticide to use, though eminent au-
thorities differ as to the amount re-
quired. One would use one pound of
Paris green to $50 gallons of water.
Others would use three pounds to
fifty gallons of water. All would ap-
ply 1t as spray. Professor Wash.
burn of the Minnesota chronological
Division says arsenate of lead of the
same strength (three pounds to fifty
gallons Of water) can be used with
the advantage over Paris green of its
sticking longer on the leaves. A quart
of soft soap, or eight gallons of strong
soap suds, should be used in every
fifty gallons of solution to insure its
spreading we'll over the leaves.
AS cabbages head from the inside
the various experiment stations agree
with Professor Washburn that the
| amount used on single plant is so
| minute that there is absolutely no
danger to human beings resulting
from this use of these poisons In
New Jersey an experiment was made
| with heavy application of Paris
green week before picking the cab
bages. After removing leaves that
are ordinarily taken off before pre-
| pairing the cabbage for the table a
chemical analysis was made of the
edible portion. Not a trace of poison
was found. Fearing that mistake
may be made by careless handling it
has been advised that for two or
three weeks before picking half an
| ounce of pyrethrum to a gallon of
| water, or kerosene emulsion, may be
| used with satisfactory results.
