A STARTLING ANALYSIS

Seldom during this special session OF
Congress has a tariff speech gone directly
to the heart and meaning Of Underwood
revision like that of Henry +. Lipptt of
Providence, successor in the United States
Senate to Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode
Island, delivered yesterday. Col. Lippitt
has been in the cotton manufacturing busi-
ness for thirty years and more, and thus he
came to a discussion Of the cotton schedule
with thorough mastery of his subject.
Doubtless there will be the taunt that he
was talking for his own, but he is only
one cotton manufacturer; and 1t is an open
secret that it is in the south, even more
so than in New England, that this crazy
patch revision of the schedule in question
is creating widespread alarm The south
has been slowly but surely Wrestling the
scepter from New England, and neither its
cotton growers nor its manufacturers relish
the turn of affairs given by the Democratic
House.
Senator Lippitt's address is snguarly
lucid and easy of comprehension. There
is no attempt at horid oratory, but instead
a straightforward narrative, with analysis,
of the cotton industry and of the effect that
may be expected if this extreme low tariff
measure shall prevail. To the claim that
the consumer will be saved SI69, 600, 900.
a year by means of the Underwood remedy
the Rhode Island senator replies that all
but So, 600, 900. of this must come from
the domestic industry, of which, in the
nature of things $50, 900, 600. will be taken
from labor. AS the gross paid to labor
now is $I2o, 600, 900. the sheer absurdity
of such a revision with its resultant read
justments is apparent. Senator Lipplt,
however, does not rest upon this theoretical
exposition Of the proposed bill, but con-
siders it from every conceivable angle,
makes all possible allowances for the con-
tentions Of the Democratic opponents oi
the scheme, and demonstrates, in fashion
that can be understood by every merchant
and every workingman who gives thought
to what is going on, how dangerous is the
program upon which the Democracy is
embarking. There has been a complete
lack of scientific or workable adjustment
of items in the schedule, so that the out
come is something just little more rad
ical and more menacing to the cotton in
dustry in the United States tn an anything
of similar nature on record
The speech is startling in It's conclusions
and yet so positive in its assertions and
logical in its deductions that it should OBJ
tain careful perusal by all who take time
to inform themselves on such problems.
The Gazette-Times appreciates fall well
that tariff talk is not popular and there is
a feeling that it is a shop-worn topic TIT
for use only by national politicians; but
unless all signs are awry the time will
come, and it is not far away, when the
average man who votes will wish he had
devoted more attention to the principles for
which Senator Lippitt argued so effectively
yesterday.-From The Pittsburgh Gazette
Times, es,-August 3, 1911.

Liquor Laws We'll Observed.
1.-TWO years ago when I delivered
my inaugural address conditions in
the state were such that it seemed
not only appropriate, but necessary
that emphasize the necessity for
better observance of the laws Of the
state. especially the laws relating to
the sale OF intoxicating liquors.
THE general assembly then in ses.
sion enacted a number OF statutes the
purpose Of which was to secure a bet.
ter observance Of law and also, better
and cleaner official service. While
there has been much criticism of this
legislation there Is no doubt but that
it has resulted in bringing about bet.
ter service on the part of otherwise
lax officials and has secured bet.
ter observance Of laws in general In
my opinion the liquor laws of the
state are better enforced today than
they have been at any time in recent
years.

Alphabetical Preference.
Two years ago + called the atten.
ton OF the legislature to the fact that
the alphabetical arrangement OF
names upon the ballot apparently
gave an advantage to the candidate
whose name came first. The thirty.
third session of the general assembly
so amended the law as to provide
that names should be rotated upon
the ballot. This doubtless had the
effect Of equalizing the advantages
and disadvantages Of the old system,
but it emphasized the fact that as to
candidates with which the people can.
not acquaint themselves they vote
with apparent blindness, This is
shown by the fact that at the last
primary, in forty-four counties the
candidate for railway commissioners
whose name came first carried the
county. In seventeen other counties
the reason that the candidate whose
name came first did not carry the
county seems to have been due to the
location Of other candidates AS to
the Office of superintendent Of public
instruction fifty-eight counties gave
their largest vote to the candidate
whose name headed the list and
twenty-five other counties seem to
have been affected by location of can
didates. AS to the Office OF clerk of

appeal to the "unwritten law" Civil
Engineer James w. G. Walker, of the
United States Navy, must pay his ex-
wife the alimony and counsel fees
awarded her by the Rhode Island
courts. The first payment is to be
made today and subsequent payments
on the first of each month following.
Walker, who is at the Newport naval
training station, maintained that the
unwritten law of Uncle Sans navy
compelled him to live up to a certain
social standard and that his expenses
now are as much as before his wife
left him. The court declared that the
civil law recognized no unwritten law
and ordered him to pay the alimony
decreed by the court.

Jackson, Miss, July 6.-The State
Board of Election Commissioners is d
good deal worried about the work be-
fore them. Since the present cam
paign over sixty of the county elec-
ton commissioners have resigned
and as soon as the attorney general,
the governor and the secretary of
state can get together, the vacancies
will be filled, but this is rather hard
matter, as Attorney-General Hudson
is prosecuting most vigorous cam
paign and is away most of the time;
the governor has gotten in the game
to some extent, and Secretary of State
Power is also shelling the woods
some.
Most of those county election com
done so because they are candidates
for county offices and their places
must be filled before the 18th inst.
1t is the intention of the state
| board to maintain the partisan equili
brium as far as possible, giving the
! Percy, the Alexander and the Varda
man factions one each of the county
commissioners, and where one has re
signed, it is the purpose to appoint
another of his factional way of think
ing in his place.
The state board would be glad tC
have suggestions from the variou:
counties where there are vacancies t.
be filled, and will use its utmost en-
deavors to give each particular crowt
of the three contending factions al
absolutely fair and square deal on tn,

Washington, July 6.-The loss of the
lattleship Maine was caused by the
explosion OF her three magazines. No
uch effect as that produced upon the
vessel could have been caused by an
explosion from without. Such is the
opinion of Gen. William H. Bixby,
chief of engineers, U. S. A, who has
returned after a personal inspection of
the work of raising the Maine.
Gen. Bixby said last night that a
portion of the deck over the magazine
was blown upward and laid backward
and that there were numerous condi
tions of the hulk as it lays in Havana
harbor which proved this. No ex
plosion from the outside, said the Gen
eral, could have caused the same re
suit.
