GREAT RAILROAD PLANS.

The announcement from New York

TAFT IN EARNEST.
success.

In no way could President Taft make
more evident his determination TO do
everything possible to obtain ratifica
ton Of the administration reciprocity
agreement with Canada than in his at
titude in his address at the Ohio So
ciety anniversary banquet in Washing
ton on Monday evening. In no way
appeal to the country OF to his party
men in Congress than in citing the at
titude and expressions of President Nc
kinley in favor Of reciprocity. The
Buffalo speech made by President Nc
Kinley showed a radical change Of
mind on his part between the time he
framed his tariff bill and the time when
he delivered TINT speech. In his later
utterances he declared reciprocity to be
''the handmald of protection That
is, he meant the reciprocity measures OF
this country to aid the tariff. especially
in It's principle of protection. He in
sisted that tho particular office of the
tariff law was to protect American
la Dor and. also. to extend American
trade, This latter was TO be done
largely by reciprocity, the protective
feature being waived where it might
be possible to do so without injury to
American labor.
The fact that the very matter that
President Mckinley had in his mind at
the time Of the delivery of his Buffalo
speech was reciprocity with Canada.
precisely the same thing that President
Taft has in his mind now, makes the
parallel all the more complete, and the
citation as thus presented by Mr.. Taft
all the more forciblc and apt.
II is evident that President Taft has
embarked on campaign TO secure rati-
ication of that agreement. And cv
erything that he is urging, every point
in his attitude toward that agreement,
lends force to the suggestion made a
few days ago, that if the present Con-
gress fails or refuses. to ratify this
agreement the President will call for
an extra session of the Sixty-second
Congress, in March, for the express
purpose of this ratification. And there
is but little doubt, in case he should
call such extra session. that the new
Congress would, without much difficulty
OF delay, ratlfy the agreement which he
has so much at heart.

wealths. The arguments in favor of
San Francisco as the city for this cele
bration are unanswered The sole ar
gument in favor of New Orleans is that
greater population could more con

Francisco. and at less cost But for
most of the season New Orleans is a
sweltering oven. and threat of sick
ness to those from the northern States
that might make the visit On the con
trary, San Francisco is especially sa-

reverse.
It was great thing for San Fran
cisco to get this decided vote IN the
House i'm ITS favor for the holding of
the Panama Exposition. But it was,
also, a victory for the country at large
which will correspondingly benefit from
that vote

drop in his flight from Key West

TO come in sight of the Cuban city.
AS r is, he made the longest flight over
water that anyone has made up to this

1T was that stopped him! Nothing the
matter with himself; nothing the mat.

merely for the lack Of a few drops of
lubricating oil to keep the mnning gear

THE ERUPTION OF TAAL.

The eruption OF the ancient volcano
of TaaI in the province of Batangas,
Luzon, the Philippines, bids fair from
accounts received, 10 take rank amonp
the great catastrophcs of history. The
volcano Of Taal is one of the lowest
known, being but thousand feet above
sea-lcvcl. II is situated about in the
center of Lake Taal or Bombon this
lake being about eighteen miles from
north to south and thirteen miles from
east to weSt-l50 square miles in area
y number Of smaller islands are in the
lake, besides this volcanic island. The

The crater of the volcano is upwards
OF 1000 feet IN diameter; and while

time, there has been no notable crup-
tion since 1873. until now. The erup-
ton OF 1873 was an extremely distress
ing one, burying villages on the shores
of the island and destroying many
lives
In spite of the danger of eruption
and earthquake uphcavals, which are
frequent in that region. the people
crowd in close TO the volcano with their
settlements, apparently reckless of
their danger. The land is extremely
fertile, and the warmth brings crops
on with great rapidity.
The accounts now are that five vii
lagos have been obiterated and three
others badly devastated by tidal wave
on Batangas Bay which followed the
earthquake shocks that ACCOMPANIED
t he eruption. That is the usual history
of disturbances at Taal; the earthquake
and the eruption come together, and
showers of mud cover the surrounding
region, obliterating settlements and be
ing awfully destructive TO life,

thorltics in LuZon, especially at Ma

HOUSE FAVoRs TARIFF BOARD.

The House has voted by exactly two
to one for permanent tariff board of
FIVE members, as insisted upon by
President Taft. The vote was not on
party lines, a good many Democrats
voting for it and good many Repub-
lincans voting against ii, All amend
ments limiting the powers of expendi
lures of the proposed board were voted
down, and the measure went through
as reported from the ways and means
committee
The Office Of the tariff board thus
undertaken to be created will be most
important in the framing Of tariff leg
islation because the board would be
composed of experts, men who had
made economics their study, and who
to the question of imports and exports,
tand the relative cost of production in
this and in other countries. The in
formation that will be thus supplied
to Congress is precisely what is needed
in the framing of tariff bill. 1t was
by reason of the lack of this that the
trainers of the new tariff law went so
far astray and so outraged the sense
of the American public in the crude
measure which they enacted 1t was
because Of this lack Of information that
so many wild statements were made on
the floor of the Senate by Smoot and
others, as in the well-remembered case
of his 'razor' speech.
The theory of protection is that it is
American labor that is to be protected,
But the latter seemed to he the chief
anxiety of the Senate in framing the
| measure. and of the House in accept
| ing it, The difference of cost between
production In this country and in other
countries. as, for instance, the differ
euce in wages Of men working in lead
mines in this country and in Mexico,
is the chief guide and point of consid-
Grafton. And the tariff should be ad-
iusted on that basis. That is the trne
proposition in the protection idea But
as to number Of manufactures that
have attained tremendous growth and
| strength in this country. such as the
iron and steel industries, the idea of
protection for them is absurd. Be
cause we beat the world in that pro-
duction, making more steel and iron
| than both Great Britain and Germany
combined, and being able to get con-
tracts away from the manufacturers in
both those countries in all the regions
of the world. To treat such magnificent
industries. so immensely strong and
overpowering as "infant industries, -
is nonsense. AS was pointed out prior
to and during the consideration of the
tariff revision by the best experts. there
is not the least need of protection in
iron and steel
