Before there was an Aldrich-P Payne
tariff, it was possible to buy granulated
cane sugar at FIVE dollars per hundred.
That was at least two cents a pound
higher than it should have been. on ac-
count Of the then existing Dingley tariff,
but now the consumer pays close to sew
en- dollars per hundred. Republicanism
comes high but it seems that there are
many millions Of voters who are willing
to eat less in order to have it.

There is this much to be expected
from Gov. Stubs: He should take some
kind Of a stand on the question of In
creased taxes. The increased appropri-
atons and the new Offices created dur
ing his administration were needed or
else they were not needed and hence
are worthy Of defense or should be con-
demned. 1t is cowardly Of Gov. Stubb.
to shift the responsibility on the legisla-
ture. The governor heretofore ha:
shown great deal Of courage and now
that the fight is hot he will disgrace him
self if he turns rabbit. There is little
doubt but that on the issue of extrava.
gance and high taxes the "old crowd
has put one over" the governor.

Gov. Stanley says Gov. Stubbs is an
extravagant governor and is responsible
for our high taxes. Gov. Stubs replies
that the stand-pat crowd for which
Stanley is speaking, helped increase the
cost Of living by supporting the high
tariff, which amounts to more to the
people Of Kansas than the increased
taxes. There is a great deal in the
claims Of both. and when you add both
items. you have a good reason for "6r-
ing" the entire republican bunch.

During the first three days Of May
the government spent $2,602,063.91

Gated that the new tariff law is failure
inasmuch as it is not producing sufficient
revenue to meet the expenses Of the gov

One thing was evident at the dinner of
the Tapeworm Club at the home of Vice
President Sherman last night. and 1t was
that the New York political leaders gath
cred there firmly believing that whoever
is nominated by the Republican party to
have the unanimous Endorsement Of two
very prominent gentlemen.
one is Gov Hughes and the other Is
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt.
The Tapeworm Club was formed in
Washington a good many years ago. II
had its origin in a committee room of the
House of Representatives. where mem
bers of the New York delegation used 10
gather at lunch. It's meetings are theo-
retically purely social There never has
been one yet, however at which politics
wasn't the chief topic of after-dinner con-
versation.
Charter Members on Hand.
The diners last night were Vice Presi-
dent Sherman. Frank S. Black, and B.
B. Oden, former governors; LUcius n,
Littaur. w T. Foote, William Barnes.
IT.. c. C. Bennett, Secretary of the Sen
ate; Judge / F. Foote. Representative
George \. Southwick, and Representative
John W. Dwight. the Republican whip Of
the House.
Mr.. Roosevelt's name was frequently
mentioned. Il is a pretty safe guess that
no important move is going to be made
by the New York Republicans until he
gets back and they have a chance to con-
suit with him. Several Of those present
emphatically stated that Mr. Roosevelt
and no other was the key to the situa-
ton. With him and Gov. Hughes in the
front rank, they believed the party would
present a solid front TO the Democracy
that could not he pierced
Pick n Duty for Roosevelt.
One plan tAat was advanced was that
Mr.. Roosevelt be chosen temporary chair
man Of the convention that dominates the
next candidates for governor, and that
Gov Hughes be made the permanent
chairman. With such fine start as that,
the Tapeworm diners believe success
would be assured. and It would merely
be a matter Of counting the votes.
Representative Edward B, Vreeland, Of
Salamanca, who is chairman of the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency OF the
House. was mentioned most prominently
as the successor of Timothy 0. Wood
ruff. as chairman of the Republican State
executive committee. Not a member OF
the New York delegation could be found
yesterday who did not thing Mr.. Vree~
land would be the right man 20 take the
job, except that gentleman himself
Il would have to be shown that there
was a great party emergency, and that
I was wanted mighty bad before 1 would
accept the State Craftsmanship" was the
only remark that Mr.. Vreeland would
make when asked about the report.

BORAH FOR W0MAN'S VOTE.
Lone SunraEette AppIauds Offering
of Constitutional Amendment.

Women Of the United States can exer-
else the right Of Suffrage II an amend
ment 10 the Constitution. introduced IN
the Senate yesterday by Senator Borah,
OF Idaho is passed by Congress and rati-
fed by the legislatures Of three-fourths
OF the States
The introduction Of the resolution was
followed with a demonstration by a fair
suffragette who occupied a seat in the
private gallery Of Senators. The enthu-
siastic young lady. who sat across the
aisle from the chairs reserved for mem
bers Of the Presidents family. clapped her
gloved hands until nudged by another Of
her sex. who seemed 10 be out OF SYM
patty with her. The Vice President ap-
peared to be oblivious to the effort at
applause IN the gallery, which was more
spectacular than noisy.
Senator Borahs resolution provides that
''the right OF citizens Of the United States
to vote shall not be denied OF abridged
by the United States or by any State on
account OF sex" II also authorizes Con-
gress to provide such appropriations as
shall be necessary to carry into effect the
purpose Of the proposed amendment.

Of government officials to run the gov
eminent. 1t looked to him as If Congress
was giving its consent 10 the executive
branch of the government 10 attend to
bills, while the legislators would arrange
a modern system of bookkeeping for the
departments.
AIdrich Would Not Serve.
There is no intelligent observer" said
Senator Aldrich, in reply. who does not
know that the executive departments OF
the government are carried on with abb
slute business methods. or with none at
all At least 10 per cent of the amount
appropriated annually can be saved by
the adoption of business methods. The
American people are not distrustful OF
any effort TO economic. This investiga-
ton should be carried on, don't care by
whom I certainly would not serve on
the commission.
I'm my opinion, no duty would be so
fruitful OF results to the government.
Every one knows there Is duplication in
the departments. The cost Of inyestiga-
ton would be a small fraction OF the
amount that would be saved. Changes in
the laws as well as an investigation OF
business methods should be considered. 4"
Senator Money, the minority leader. said
the investigation should be conducted by
Congress instead Of by a commission,
part of which was TO be named by the
Executive. He thought the statement Of
Senator Aldrich that $500 100000 in govern
ment expenditures could be saved annu-
ally severe arraignment OF Republican
extravaganza in administration.
Congress Too Busy to Do II.
Senator Newlands, of Nevada, expressed
the opinion that the investigation should
be conducted by a commission to be
named exclusively by the President He
said Congress has enough matters on
hand to demand its time.
Senator Carter. OF Montana. favored the
bill. AS an instance Of the duplication
of work IN the departments. he said,
eight or ten mapmaking concerns are now
at work in this city on maps for the
several departments.
Senator Aldrich offered an amendment
providing that the commission should
consist OF FIVE Senators and FIVE Members
Of the House. This met the objection OF
several Senators. who thought the inves-
tigation should be conducted independ-
emily of the executive department

Sends Special Message to Congress
Containing Report of Commits

In a special message TO Congress yes
terday President Taft transmitted re-
port by Hamilton Wright, on behalf of
the American delegates TO the Interna-
tional Opium Commission. which met in
Shanghai. China, in February, 1909.
The report points out that while the
United States is to be commended for
what has been done, further restrictive
legislation is needed. a memorandum by
Secretary of State Knox accompanied the
report
BY permitting the importation of opium
prepared for smoking says the Secre-
tary. under the dutiable schedules or at
times upon the free list, this government
has for half a century unwittingly en-
cOuraged the use OF this form or opium

fective classes, but OF the higher ranks
Of society
Incidental to the restricted importa-
ton of medicinal opium. the manufacture
OF morphia had come TO be a monopoly
Of American manufacture. with an encr-
nous growth in production, so that as a
notorious fact large numbers Of people in
all social ranks had become debauched
by the misuse of It"
The Secretary says that local laws were
Ineffective TO control it while it was per-

commerce.
This state OF affairs was corrected in
large measure by the law of 1909. But
the Secretary adopts the recommendation
of the commissioners for uniform legis-
manufacture and sale OF smoking opium
and TO impose restrictions TO compel the
proper use Of opium in other forms. Con-
gress is urged to extend the pharmacy

Lords to Reform Themselves.
Lord Rosebery, former premier, rising
in his place in the Lords. made an earnest
! appeal for the Lords to reform them
selves. This he thought should be done
without delay. After remarking that the
elections had been a disappointment 10
every party concerned and that the Irish
party avowedly wished TO remove the
Upper House solely for the temporary
purpose of obtaining home rule, he ex-
pressed the belief that the Nationalist,
having won their point, would take no
further interest in imperial affairs.
The present. he believed. was the golden
opportunity for the Lords to right them
selves with the public. and TO put them
selves in e position to resist attack. not
as the Lords now constituted. but as
a second chamber. which would be of
infinitely more Importance. He could not
| agree with the suggestions made earlier
by the Earl of Crewe and Lord Lans-
downe TO proceed leisurely.

This Is only one instance OF the pres

must have fair trial If this trial shows
that it will not accomplish what was ex-

amendments.
Il was learned that many corporations
will refuse 10 send In their returns to the

for the present the necessity Of disclosing
their business secrets to the government.
