STILL WRANGLING
OVER WOOL TARIFF
Argument Leads to Pointed Ex-
changes Concerning the Payne
Tariff Bill.

House began debate, this afternoon on
the Dill reducing the duties on the
WOODEN schedule, placing a duty on
raw wool of 20 per cent. ad valorem
ana an average duty Of ~ , per cent
on manufactured wool.
considerable time was spent in dis
cusslng what should be the length of
the debate. Some members wanted an
entire week, others favored a lesser
time. 1t was decided to leave the mat
ter in allegiance for the present which
means that Chairman Underwood, in
charge OF the bill, may call for the
previous question when the debate is
exhausted
Mr.. Underwood began a long speech
in favor of the bill as reported by the
Ways and Means Committee, his argu-
ment following the reasons given in
the committee report for the necessity
OF duty on wool.
Representative Underwood angered
representative Payne by declaring
that the Payne tariff bill was a revision
upward instead of downward.
That is not true" shouted Repre-
sentative Payne.
The country has already decided
that, retorted Mr.. Underwood. Il
don't blame you for getting mad when
you see your favorite child dying"
The child will live for two more
Mr.. Payne.
Mr. Underwood declared that a duty
on wool is necessary because of Re

The School Examiners.

we OelleNe that a great blunder
has been made in abolishing the State
Board OF Examiners. The men who
composed that board are experts in
public education. They not only pass
ed upon the qualifications of teachers.
but they were the field agents of the
Department of Public Instruction
They were missionaries for the cause
and they went in and out among the
schools and the people preaching the
doctrine. They drilled the teachers
they inspired the pupils. they rallied
the taxpayers They encouraged esprit
de corps in the system and gave ii
life and action. And they kept the
authorities in Richmond thoroughly
informed as TO what was going on in
the field, how the teachers and pupils
were doing, what progress was being
made and pointed out where progress
was lacking. They reported where
weak places should be strengthened
and all manner Of information of this
nature which gave the central direc-
tors a comprehensive view of the
work.
To say that these agents are not
needed is to say that the public school
system is perfect.-Newport News
Times-Herald.
