NECESSITIES AND

CBy c. H. Tayenner, Special Wash
ington Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 20.-What are
luNuirese On the other hand. what
are necessaries2
These are subjects on which the
makers of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill had peculiar ideas.
A full realization of the ridiculous
ness of the Characterization OF lux
uries" sand "neCessaries in the
Payne-Aldrich law has just developed
as a result OF a compilation by Prof.
Josiah II. Shinn, political economist
and statistician.
Prof. Shinn, who, by the way, prob
ably did more than any other one man
in ferreting out jokers in the tariff
bill for the democrats Immediately
following its first appearance from
the ways and means committee, has
gone over the pamphlets entitled
estimated revenues, which was pre-
pared under the dierction of Senator
Aldrich, and made a list of articles
described therein as "luXuries" and
another of the articles permitted to
go under the appellation of neces-
saries. In this pamphlet luXuries are
designated by the letter IL" while
necessaries are not marked.
In a nutshell, says Prof. Shinn
in his report, Il found that whatever
the special interests demanded was
considered a necessity by the trainers
of the tariff law, and that whatever
the people might need, use or enjoy,
was held by the trainers of the bill
to be luxury, and was taxed all 1t
would stand.
The Shinn report shows that while
women's wooden dress goods was fol
lowed by an a. meaning luxury,
printed tapestries, used by the rlch,
were designated a necessity.
Linen handkerchiefs, table cloths,
and figured cotton cloth such as are
used by the common people, were
designated and taxed as luNuries,
while costly ingram carpets were con-
sidered a necessity,

Leaders Alike in the Matter of
Federal Support.

Beverly, Mass.-No difference be-
tween so-called "progressives" and
regulars" will be recognized by
President Taft hereafter, but all party
leaders will be treated alike as Repub-
licans in the matter of federal support.
The presidents views to this effect
are given in letter from Secretary
Norton to an Iowa Republican leader.
Norton in his letter speaks of the
powerful assistance" given the ad-
ministration by the insurgents, IAN as
sistance," he adds, that has contrib
uted much to the legislative and other
successes which have been secured.
The president recognizes that your ef-
forts have been wholly disinterested,
that you have fought sturdily and gen.
erously for what you believed to be his
interest and the welfare and success
of the party.

BLAMES men FOR

suFFRAGIsT, LEADER TAKES UP
cuDGEL FOR HER SEX IN
AN ARTICLE.
REPLIES TO ENGLISH JESUIT FATHER
Mrs. Harper Says Large Number Of
Women Marry Because of Their
Desire for Children; Men Al
most Never for This Cause.

New York City.-Men are to blame
for the empty cradle" accord
ing to Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper. The
suffragist leader, in signed article
in the New York Evening World,
takes up the cudgels for her sex in
reply to the distinguished English
Jesuit father, Bernard Vaughan, who
in his address at the Eucharistic con-
gress declared that women were
mainly to blame for the decreased
birth rate.
ut is time to call halt on this
constant blaming of women for race
suicide" says Mrs. Harper. Fully
so per cent of the childless marriages
are due to the determination of hus-
bands not to have their own pleasures
interfered with; and large per cent
is due to the sterility of husbands be-
cause Of excesses before or after mar
riage; small per cent to the physical
ailments of wives which they cannot
help and the smallest percentage of
all to the desire of women to avoid
maternity for the sake of their own
pleasures. Every man and woman
who reads these statements knows
they are true-knows that the vast
majority of wives long for children
and are willing to risk comfort,
health, life itself for motherhood. The
instinct of fatherhood is not natural
one-it is acquired. The love of the
average father bears a very small
ratio to the love of the average
mother.

children where ten mothers do so.
The father acknowledges, protects
and loves only those of his own chill.
dren that are born in wedlock; the
mother loves and cherishes item just
the same when born outside of mar.
riage. Large numbers of women
marry because of their desire for
children; men almost never for this
cause. They marry to crafty pas
sion or else for love and companion
ship; if for the last two, they do not
wish to divide them with the chill
dren, for the average woman soon
transfers the largest share of her af
fection to her children. Men want 6
restful home; a wife to entertain
them, to be ready to accompany them
when desired, to preserve her per
sonal charms and they don't want to
spend every dollar they make bring
ing up a big family of children to
have hard struggle in world which
is not in especial need of them
There are exceptions, but the general
average will demonstrate the above
facts"

SHOOTS RAPIDS, LIVES
OHIO MAN HAS TEMPEsTuouS
PASSAGE IN MOTOR BOAT.
Sustains DiabIed Arm and Leg, but ls
Brought to Shore After Accomplish
Feat-craft Badly Battered.

Niagara Falls. = More daredevil
history was made for Niagara
when Capt. Klaus Larsen of Cleve-
land, o., shot the rapids in motor
boat. He lives to tell the tale. After
tempestuous passage of four and
one.half miles his battered and leak
ing craft plunged into an eddy below
DEVILS Hole. AS all the perils of the
trip had then been passed and he had
disabled arm and leg Larsen seized
rescue rope thrown to him and gave
up his intention of making Lewiston.
When the Ferro, as the boat Is
named, got under the cantilever
bridge Larsen put down the helm and
made for midchannel. Then he was
caught in Swift drift, where the river
begins it's rush down to Whirlpool
rapids. The elements got in their
work and trouble began. In less than
three minutes he was hurled into the
great pool The helm found itself In
too fast company and went out of
business. 1t was the trip through the
rapids that the craft did the disap-
pearing act. Most of the time it was
lost to sight. Masses of water flung
themselves on, banged and buffeted
and turned it about at will until it
became a mere drift. Approaching
the wave the boat acquired a break
neck velocity and as the spectators
looked on aghast it took it's record
leap 20 feet clear of water. The push
| that catapulted it into the air hap
pened to catch it on even keel. This
lucky chance enabled it to strike the
water again right side up. AS he
emerged from the pool he discovered
that his engine had broken down.
Ahead of him were waters scarcely
less turbulent than those through
which he had struggled. From there
on the Ferro was a plaything for the
river. 1t dropped into the hollows as
If it would never come up, and as 1t
was tossed as if again it would try
for flight through the air One wave
spun it around until it headed down
stream, stern first. The next gave it
a broadside blow which tilted it, a
third turned it completely over and
then as If the sport was becoming too
serious. fourth righted it.
Once through the DEVILS Hole the
Ferro swung toward the rocks on the
American side. Larsen saw his dan
ger but as he had no way of controll
ing the bow he could but simply wait
in hope that the worst would not hap
pen. There was boulder right in
the boats path which had almost
spelt destruction for the craft and
passenger when a kindly wave got
beneath and rolled them directly over
that obstacle but clear of it. The toss
was so herculean, however, that ii
plunged the Ferros nose fast between
two other boulders. A comb of water
came along, lifted the Ferro out from
between the rocks and sent her
careening to midstream. Buffeting
and cross current action were again
resumed until the Lewiston bridge
loomed ahead. Larsen then hoped
that the river, which had been treat
ing him so roughly, might carry him
to his destination, but at bend the
boat itself became perverse, drifted
again toward American shore, entered
Dead Mans Eddy and went aground.
