accurate. At the same time insist
that II ID far more accurate than was
the Dingley Law, and an immense I'M
provement over 1t. just as the Ding.
ley law was far more accurate than
the Wilson law and an immense I'M
provement over It.
II is no severe arraignment OF the
Payne. law to state that there may
be a number OF duties in It's various
schedules which exceed the measurc
of protection as laid down In the Re-
publican platform, Just as It Is also
probable that there are some duties
which are less. II such exist they
ought to be adjusted, not recklessly,
but scientifically, and with full knowl-
edge of the facts in each case, and
that knowledge win be acquired with
thorough accuracy through the me-
dunn Of this tariff commission.
It seems to be, beyond the range
OF argument that the Incorporation
OF the tariff commission in the Payne
law and the. subsequent appropriation
for its use represents an immense ad-
vance in the direction Of a strictly
business.lllke and thoroughly accurate
tariff a..
In all that have said do not want
TO be understood as by any means
apologizing for the Payne law. On
the contrary, ! make this statement,
and do SO deliberately, that the
Payne law az whole, with whatever
imperfections It may have, is the best
tariff law that has been enacted un-
der our old system OF making tariffs.
The only difference in the Republi-
can party has been as to the kind OF
commission that ought to be provid-
ed. Some very able men have advo-
Gated a commission with power to re-
port at any time to congress, recon-
mending specific changes In existing
schedules; men equally able have op-
posed this on the ground that 1t
would be an interference with the
constitutional powers Of the house OF
representatives to originate all rev.
enue legislation, and, further, that
such a system would tend to create
a continued and injurious tariff agi'
tation. II would seem on the whole
that, certainly for the time being, the
provision which has been adopted is
a a.bappy compromise.
Attacks on Payne Law.
The Payne law has been attacked
upon two principal grounds. First.
that It is not in compliance with the
pledges Of the Republican platform;
and second, that It is responsible for
the increase in the cost to tho con.
sumer OF most articles Of daily use.

politics.
But will the people indorse this
program? win they consent 10 be
used as stool pigeons to further the
ambitions of these men? For one, I
can not believe it.
Governor-to be President Harmon
says the campaign should be fought
on state issues only; Lieutenant Gov.
ernor-to be Governor Pomerene,
says that the Democrats ought to win
on national issues. This only adds to
the novelty and delicious humor OF
the situation. Harmon is running for
president Of the United States on To-
cal Issues and Pomerene is running
for governor OF Ohio on national is
sues. Can you find q parallel In re-
cent political history
The governor may talk all he
pleases, about local issues. but he has
projected himself upon the national
field. He has submitted his record
and his qualifications to the people

Where Ohio Republicans Are Holding
Their Convention.
Its opponents say that the platform
promised revision downward OF the
Dingley law; that instead OF the re-
vision being downward II was up
ward, and that this upward revision
Is responsible for the increased cost
of living. To bolster up their argu.
ment they have flooded the country
with mass of misleading figures,
false statements and bombastic vitu.
peration, so monumental that II is no
wonder that the people are bewilder-
cd and hardly know which way TO
turn to learn the truth.
The one est way to find out what
the Payne law does is to read 1t.
This would seem to be a self-evident
proposition, and yet I think Il is a
fair guess Sthat 80 out Of every 100
OF those who are criticising the law
most severely have never 20 much as
| looked at II.
Taking first Schedule A, the chem
ical schedule. Throughout this sched-
ule there were substantial reductions
running up, in some cases. to more
than so per cent in the most impor-
tant acids and the various chemicals
that enter into the manufacture of
the cheaper grades OF paint. The
| only increases were on fancy toilet
soaps for the purpose of raising addi-
tional revenue, and on opium.
In Schedule c, the metal schedule,
duties were cut right and left. The
only increase in the entire schedule
was on a particular kind OF highly
finished structural steel.
| In Schedule e, the sugar schedule,
the differential duty on refined sugar
was REDUCED, the duty on saccharine
was reduced 10 per cent. and Philip
pine sugar put on the free list. There
were no increases.
In Schedule +, the tobacco sched-
uie, there were no changes, except
that Philippine tobacco was placed
on the free list.
In Schedule G, the agricultural
schedule, there were a number of i'm
portant and substantial decreases OF
duty. As, for instances, sugar beets
were reduced 60 per cent; cabbages
80 per cent; peas 35 per cent; salt 10
per cent; starch 25 per cent; bacon
and hams, 20 per cent; lard rs per
cent; and all dressed meats 25 per
cent. The only increases we're upon
hgs' lemons, pineapples, sweet bis
cults and chicory.
Schedule l. the cotton schedule, is
the only one in the bill that II ows a
general Increase OF duties. Thore was
one article In this schedule upon
which duties were slightly raised and
which caused much talk at the time
that was upon some kinds OF cotton

lent to little over a cent pair.
| whether this increase seemed justi-
napie or not, the fact Is that most OF

clares that they do things thus and so

Turkish customs chanaina.

The attitude of the hanouns to med
ical practitioners has changed much
of recent years. Twenty or thirty
years ago no Turkish woman would
ever save submitted to a physical ex-
animation by doctor. All he could
have persuaded her to do would have
been to show him her tongue through
a rent in the yashmak or let him
touch her pulse from behind heavy
curtain and in the presence, of course,
of an argus-eyed eunuch or old female
slave.
Any attempt to apply stethoscope
to the chest would have been spurned
as an impertinent presumption of
western "barbarlsm." No matter how
severe the illness the medical man
could not go beyond certain strict
limits of Islamito usage and tradition
al custom. Even in cases of immi-
nent danger to life these scanty linn
its were never allowed to be over
stepped, and the belief in the incanta-
lions of a priest and the house rene
dies of old, ignorant and superstitious
women held unlimited sway and was
always greater than the faith in the
efficacy of medical skill and science.
This is now changing, and changing
rapidly. There are, Of course, still
many exceptions, where Anticipated
views and conceptions are fanatically
adhered to and practised. but these
become rarer with each advancing
year. Many Turkish women will now,
when i'll, voluntarily call on a medical

But it is not only in the display of his charms

The said gobbling, by the way, has given rise
to the only bit Of folklore about the turkey that

but Indian Mohammedans profess to hear in the
turkeys voice a blasphemous mOckery of their
