kindly human spirit that turns aside the

incident of the kind transpired recently.

in want, and Senator Bradley of her state
appealed to the government for aid in the
form of a government bounty Of $1,000.
Owing to the fact that the granting OF
such a bounty would set a bad precedent
the committee on claims of the senate
turned down the project. At this jlncture

With all respect to his profession

against the present as the most cor

with two exceptions, that preceding
the fall OF the Roman republic and the
period of the French revolution. Pres
ident Judson has put himself down as
a pessimist and alarmist
He cites four elements OF degen-
eracy to prove his point that this is a
decadent age; War, dishonesty
drunkenness and social vice. He
placed his weakest argument first,
though evidently counting It his
strongest. 1t is scarcely necessary ia

investigate and Report.
New York Evening Post.
When congress appropriated $4,000 last
year for the presidents tariff board, it
builded better than it knew. The tariff
board last year was not meant to be taken
very seriously; its powers were not Defined
the renewal Of the appropriation was not
guaranteed; the thing was sporadic, extra
legal and a sop. But within a year a
change has come over the spirit Of the
dream. The tariff, instead of an issue put
to sleep, is an issue more alive than ever,
and the leaders in congress, sobered and
instructed by the experiences of the last
few months, have learned that the time
has come to bend before the storm or go
down. 1t was case Of bending before the
storm when the house appropriated $3.50 900
for the expenses of the presidents tariff
board, comforting upon it at the same time
extensive powers of study and investiga-
ton, at home and abroad. We are thus
brought measurably nearer to that es-
sental factor in any real revision of the
tariff-a tariff commission to supply the
groundwork of knowledge and fact upon
which congress might base its action II

momentous departure from the time-hon-
ored system OF tariff making by cooper

When, in the course of human events,
does a widow cease to be widow, and
when does child cease to be a child ?
These momentous questions were debated
between Congressman Rowland of Cleve-
land and Congressman Mann, when How
land recently put In an amendment to the
railroad bill. The amendment, of much
interest to Cleveland railroad men, by the
way, provided that widows and children
of men who die in the railroad service shall
have free transportation.
Up rose Mann.
"Will the gentleman yield?" asked Mann.
Yes" said Rowland.
"Supposlng the widow marries again?'
Mann asked. What is the reason for con-
tinuing a life pass to herr"
II was under the impression" Rowland
answered, that when a widow married
again. she ceased to be the widow Of the
decedent."
We'll, the gentleman has another i'm
preston coming to him." said Mann, be
cause she is still the widow of the first
man."
In view of the suggestion of the gen
tlemsn 1 have no objection to modifying
the amendment, so that it will say dur
ing widowhood said Rowland.
So the clerk read the amendment as
modified
Then said Mann: Il suppose the gentle
man means to limit the Limitation of the
minor children during the minority of the
children"
Limiting a limitation is perhaps going
some, but that's what Mann said.
Whereupon Rowland: well, they will
not be minors after they become adults"
But Mann wanted that set forth, and
the amendment was again modified and
again read. The amendment then was as
follows: ITO the widows during widow
hood, and the minor children during mi
nority."
Mann being satisfied that there was no
loophole in the clause, the amendment was
adopted. y El XVI

the other day that must have made the
publishers of the big monthly magazines
open wide their eyes with surprise. Bar

republics and each month he gets out an
illustrated magazine of several hundred
pages. Last Tuesday the new millon-d dol
lar building of the bureau was dedicated.
President Taft, Mr.. Carnegie, Senator
Root and other notables were there and
made speeches. The next morning the big
men who had taken part in the affair
were astounded to receive copies of the
May number of the bureaus magazine
containing a complete account Of the dedi-
cation ceremonies, the speeches in full and
photographs taken on the spot The maya
zine was complete in every respect, fully
bound and stitched and the photographs
done in tnts.
1t was a remarkable bit of hustling. The
magazine proprietors usually insist on hav-
ing their copy in the office three weeks
