tration of the maximum and minimum
section of the law. Senator Hale, SEN
ior member of the conference commit
tee, declared on the floor of the Senate
that the committee had done this for
the purpose of deprIving these persons
of any power whatever to gather facts
or 10 do any work which a tariff COM
mission could do.
President Taft, by executive con-
struction. has attempted to restore to
these persons he is authorized to en-
ploy some of the powers that the con-
ference committee destroyed. But ex-
ecutive construction cannot restore
powers that Congress deliberately re-
fused to give. and any President at any
time can discharge the o-called tariff
board For the members of this tariff
board are not officers of the govern
ment; they are mere employees of the
President. Any trust in America can
refuse TO give them information. We
asked for n reality: they gave us a
mockery. We asked for power; they
gave us palsy. We asked for bread;
they gave us a stone. Such a make
shift will not answer the needs Of
American business men, producers and
consumers"
All of the candidates for places on
the ticket were chosen by acclamation
except Monyhan, who received Oil
votes to Job Freeman's S34. Terrell,
who was chosen from a field of three,
and Finley p. Mount, whose opponent,
William Bosom, withdrew before the

One of the most marvellous mani

able Shinto festival may be witnessed
only every twenty-one years, when the
temples of the ancestral gods are re-
constructed and the sacred objects are
removed TO their new abode. The Ise
temples have been thus renewed every
score of years since A d. 600 at least
and for how long before that no one
knows, the present occasion being the
fifty-seventh rebuilding on record
Such periodic reconstruction will
appear quite necessary when it is rec
objected that on these shrines no NOR
tai hand is ever permitted to execute
repairs. After they are built the gods
OF the nation take possession of them
and thenceforward they are. not touch
ed till they go the way of all things.
At all times Ise IS the mecca Of the
Japanese patriot, but on so notable
an occasion as this thousands flock
from all parts of the empire.
The work Of rebuilding the sacred
shrines begins almost as soon as the
last reconstruction is complete by the
appointment of an imperial commits
sion intrusted with the important en-
terprise. Every stage is marked by
religious ceremonies, from the telling
of the trees to the driving of the last
nail. The completion Is emphasized

priestly custodians of the imperial
shrines.
Finally comes the great festival of

sacred treasures and relics 10 the new

month. 1t Is computed that no fewer
than 10000 persons were present on
the night of the actual removal
Though the august spectacle takes
| place at night, the prepare ton for 1t
appears to go on for two or three
days previously, but the ceremonies
of the notable day itself are the most
interesting The day opened with the
appearance before the new temple of
a specially chosen virgin, who went
through a peculiar ceremony of bury
ing in the ground before the shrine
jar containing offerings to the god
of earth. This observance is intend
ed as an act Of thanksgiving for the
successful completion of the new abode
OF the ancestral gods.
Later I'm the day began a long pro.
