Foss sLAMEs THE TARIFF
Declares Sherman Act Has Failed Be
cause OF overproduction

Charleston, S. c., Nov. 30.-Before
the st. Andrews Society OF Charles
ton, Gov. Foss OF Massachusetts out
lined today progressive measures oil
the Democratic party. He called for
a closer union of the states for
more popular government and the
elimination OF special privileges as
the only basis for constructive Nation
al progress. He said he believed
that each state must now take up the
duties of regulating its trade and
commerce, instead Of leaving this to
take its chances with unwise Federal
control and litigation.
THE Sherman act has largely fall
ed of its purpose and has reacted dis
astrously upon the business OF this
country. During the twenty-one
years between 1890 and 1911 super
fiuous protection has stood as an
irresistible invitation to combine TO
secure privately the total margin OF
price between the low price level
where domestic competition ceases
and the high level where foreign com
petition begins. And yet, during
these twenty-one years, the Sherman
act has had absolutely no effect to
protect the general industrial wei
fare of the country.
ut is time for Congress, while up
holding the principle that interstate
and foreign trade shall be free from
restraint, to define as far as practic
able what specific acts shall be deem
ed lawful and what unlawful. In order
that the legitimate business Of the
country may know what the condit
ions are to which business mus
conform. 1t is time also to reafiirn
the principle that each state must dc
for itself all that human power car
accomplish to utilize its constitution

DOVE OF PEACE FLUTTERS
HosTILlTiEs IN MEXICO TO CEASE
SOON, is THE PREDICTION.
President Dlaz In His Message to Con-
aress Promises Support to crea-
tlon of Anti-Re-electio Laws.
BY otheman Stevens.

Mexico City, Mexico.-April 2 was
to have seen the streets full of
fusilliers and the hospitals crowded,
according to the prophets Of week
past. So far it was duplicate in
spirit of a New York Sunday; a dis
play of fashion and equipages that
even Paris or London could hardly ex-
cell, bands in the Alemados, the poorer
people serenely unconscious of any pol
itics, absorbing the sun with pulque.
Nothing indicates ready knife or a
six shooter as arguments. Mexico is
not entirely out of the dark woods
where the phantoms of civil war lurk,
but it has emerged so far that any
complications of serious nature
would mark the people as incapable
and insensate-and l do not believe
they are.
The presidents message has not
removed all the grunts of the discon-
tent; but 1t has served to make the
people ask themselves, why should we
keep up this bursting forth into hyper
bole of political paroxysms? Senor
Limantour, with Leonine bravery and
so deftly that the resultant cumula-
tive of effect of stability and prom
ise is unmistakable. He has large
number of copies left in his massive
head, so that the wise people here are
predicting that within three weeks
even Madero will be satisfied and the
man hunt along the border will be
elevated into the hunt for industry of
a more profitable order. Nothing is
impossible in Mexico, but peace seems
the most possible future to play in
the market of politics.
President Diaz in his message read
before congress promises sincere
and complete support to the Gre
alton of anti-re-election laws, ap-
plying from the executive down to
other elective offices. This has been
the central demand of the Maderists.
He also advocates legislation which
will cure the present evils in the ad
ministration of the courts. He advo-
Gates curtailment of the present enor-
nous power of the Jefes politics and
minor officials. He also asks for leg
islation providing for the cutting up
of many of the large holdings, so
that it may be made easy for the peo-
pie to acquire title to small farms and
urges ballot reform and freedom of
elections with proper qualifications of
voters. These and minor measures
embrace all the complaints of both
insurrectos and disaffected.
