Has Not Made Up His Mind
About Features
OF HIS COMING MESSAGE
Tariff Board Not Ready to Report-Pres-
ident Will Probably Send Special
Message When 1t Does-Sees
Emery and Cannon,

| Washington, Nov 2s President Taft
was reported at Washington Saturday as
not having finally made up his mind
with regard to the tariff features Of his
forthcoming message to Congress. He
had a long conference Saturday with
chairman H. G. Emery Of the tariff
board, and talked also with delegatiot,
from the national tariff commission as
ISOLATION. There is pretty general
impression at Washington that Mr.. Taft
win be unable to recommend the revision
Of any particular schedule of the tariff
in his regular message. He probably
will indicate that the tariff board is not
yet ready to submit detailed report on
any one of the schedules. And until
the board is able to submit data upon
which an absolutely scientific revision
can be made, the president will recon-
mend that any action whatsoever on the
tariff shall be deferred The board may
be in a position soon to report detailed
facts concerning some one schedule.
Just as soon as he is made aware OF
this. there is every likelihood that the
president will send a special message to
Congress embodying the report and rec
ommending tine desirability Of such ac-
ton Mr. Taft is especially interested
| in schedule k-wool He was disap-
pointed that this schedule was not re-.
vised in the Payne-Aldricb law. Even
lii schedule X can be reported by the
tariff board during the coming short SEES
sion, doubt is expressed at Washington
Iif final action could be reached in the
Senate Mr.. Taft is opposed to calling
an extra session. for he has been in
/ formed that the Democrats are propos-
I ing complete revision, and he thinks
such action would upset business condi-
tions throughout the country.
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Mann of Illinois were among the callers
at the White House Saturday The
speaker dropped in to pay his respects
to the president and was with him but
few moments. Asked what the legs-
lative outlook for the short session was,
the speaker began to sing: Sing a song

the Chinese religion is certainly TO re-

Professor de Groot reports that among
Chinese sectaries prosecuted by the pre-
va;lIng Confucianism are many who
show interest In the Christian faith, and
ne cannot dismiss from his mind the con-
viction that If Christian missions would
make these sects their field of labor
converts would flock to them in consid-
erable numbers. encouraged also by the
prospect Of working out their own saliva
ton more safely under foreign protec-
tion. Far from discrediting Christian
propagandism, these lectures, while
treating Chinese religions with insight
and sympathy. will be taken to justify
missionary activity as a humane i'm

AS associate editor of THE Outlook
and as an author and public speaker DR..
Wilton has been a helper of many amid
the fluctuations of belief. If, as the
prophets are telling us. the next religious
revival is TO be signalized by baptism
of clear thinking. he may be looked upon
az one of the forerunnsrs OF the time.
DR.. Wilton comes to close grips with
several questions found perpiexing by the
modern mind, but bent as he is on get
ting at first principles in social morality
and religious faith he is not so intel
lectualist as to forget that, as George
Eliot put it, the tides of the divine life
in man move under the thickest ice OF
theory, nor does his ardor for moral
progress make him oblivious Of the ad-
vancement already registered by society
Even the last hundred years was not too
brief e. period to provide the tokens Of
an upward moral tendency: temperance
reform, the abolition of slavery, the hu-
manizing of judicial punishments, the
concession by a given nation to its pub
He enemy of ethical rights, the transfer
Of lotteries from the respectable class TO
the class OF criminal enterprises, the
lifting of civil disabilities from Catholics
and Jews, the legislative protection of
working women and children. the large
provision of public charity for the indi-
gent and for other unfortunates, and the
nunificent endowments for educs ton.
Should we ask how further progress is
TO be achieved, DIR. Wilton points to the
necessity of conserving society not as
sandheap. q fortuiteus concourse Of in
dividuals, but as an organism whose
wellbeing as whole is determined by
the cooperation of its several parts. Our
philosophy of social welfare must be i'm
bued with the spirit of Jesus If wealth
is to be moralized and if the industrial
and economic spheres Of life are to be-
come fully human. The carrying out of
programme OF this sort involves some
thing more than conformity 70 current
moral standards, since genuine morality
Involves the continual effort TO be and
70 do better.
