WORK NOT DELAYED
INQUIRY INTO OPERATION OF
TARIFF SCHEDULES.
Charges That the Administration ID
Not In Earnest In This Matter
Shown to Be Without
Any Foundation.

Some rather sharp criticism lately
manent tariff commission has not yet
been provided for. The opinion is put
forward is some quarters that policy
of delay Is being followed in the hope
that the demand for the commission
will be lost sight Of. THE Republican
party has missed great opportunity
to put itself right before the American
people," declares one of the critics.
Considering the usually well-informed
sources from which these comments
come, they are somewhat surprising.
Those who know what is going on In
Washington are aware of the fact that
the work which would have been
turned over to the com mission is pro-
ceeding Just as though It had been cre-
ated.
Some time ago President Taft direct
ed the existing tariff board to make n
detailed. scientific Investigation of the
operation Of the tariff schedules. The
chairman OF the board is In Europe
studying the methods of foreign tariff
investigators. Another member is in
france obtaining data on the home
costs Of foreign products, In which he
will be assisted by special treasury
agents and the consular service. A
third member has taken up his head
quarters In Chicago. there to give his
personal attention to wool and the mar
ket conditions and production of meats
and cereals. The statistical expert Of
the board is about to go to Europe to
collate the facts and figures which the
work Of the chairman has made avail.
able.
The real investigators. however. will
not be the members of the board. but
business experts, who are being put to
work rapidly. For instance. one Of
Carnegie's former engineers will COM
pile the report on iron and steel. Every
tariff schedule will be examined by an
expert In that particular line. Instead
Of small board being responsible for
the facts to be set before the president
they will be ascertained by the most
highly trained men that the govern
ment can procure.
This work will continue without in
terruption until It is completed. How
much time II will require no one can
guess. But It seems that the president
will not consent to any further revision
Of the tariff until authentic facts to
base 1t IN are at hand. II anybody
knows a better way to obtain them
than the one he has adopted he doubt.
,ess would be glad to hear about It.

McManus ran through the hall lead

ran back to the second floor. where he

Particular Reasons Why Question o,

Grafton.

The difficulty of raising the old
Maine, sunk in IS feet of mud in ad.
dition to the 80 feet of water In Ha.
vana harbor, is being made much OF
by army engineers. 1t may be SO great
as to be practically insuperable. Ger.
tainly 1t is far beyond the sum pro-
vided in the congressional appropria-
tion, as well informed persons knew
and said when the appropriation was
made.
But when the argument is made as
In favor of abandoning the undertak-
ing 1t is really reason why the
question of cost must not stand
in the road of establishing the
truth. 1t is that the raising might
result in unexpected disclosures which
would be better left al rest" In other
words 1t is argued by an American pa
per that 1t is best not to let the truth
be known lest It should be shown that
the view of the United States was
wrong.
This position is so discreditable that
1t calls for distinct reputation. Sup
posing the imputation to be true, the
United States cannot in honesty let n
half million dollars stand in the road
of doing justice to defeated antag-
onist, To propose such a course Is a
counsel Of mingled poltroonery and
dishonesty.
AS matter of fact there is not the
slightest foundation for that dishon-
orable fear. At the inquiry into the
loss of the Maine the builders plan
showing the number and location Of
every structural beam in the vessel
was before the board for reference.
The number OF a beam found forced
upward and sticking at an angle
through the decks was reported by
the divers and identified on the plan
as part Of the keel To doubt that
this proved an explosion beneath the
keel is to suppose that divers, engt-
neers and naval officers were Joined in
conspiracy OF perjury and falsehood.
When an American paper casts that
imputation It is time to insist on the
truth being made clear II 1t costs sew
