WHO Rules petroIt7

To the Editor OF The Times: Your
editorial OF Saturday. April %, de
serves more than passing notice
for more than one reason. IL Is evil
dent that there is one powerful pa
per In Detroit that has something
of moral courage: something OF con
viction: and, too, the higher interests
of the city in mind. Had The Times
been one OF the many papers that
seek for the patronage or the liquor
interests in the way OF advertising,
we question whether IL would be free
70 express itself so forcefully. Your
courage Is commendable. and should
have the hearty support OF all right
thinking people, as II will doubtless
have the bitter opposition of all the
foes OF righteousness. You may well
be proud of the encouragement and
the opposition when the sources OF
each are considered.
Your logic is little less than crush
ing TO the liquor committee OF the
common council OF Detroit IL is plain
that this committee has more regard
for 1.-THE interests OF the brewers than
for anything else; more regard for
the brewers than for the good name
OF the city, the safety OF the boys
and girls of the city. Let man be
debtor 10 the breweries and that
stamps him as the worst of sinners.
He NAV be moral leper, he may
have the worst reputation: he may
be a dangerous man in any neighbor'
hood. but IL he has settled his score
with the brewers. he has but 10 ask
for the privilege OF carrying on his
bad traffic and the committee kneel
and say, Certainly, is there any
thing else we can do for you?" But
let another man. without half the
stigma attached 10 his name, ask for
a continuation OF favors and the
question is asked, Have you settled
with the brewers for the last barrel
and keg OF their produce? Did you
saw, 'Nc?" That Is sufficient. Ihat
man is turned down and out, and SO
in the one who has the termerity to
plead his case.
How long shall this disgraceful con
dition OF things continue so long as
this sort OF thing goes unrebuked ano
unexposed TO the public? When other
papers ioin with The Times in It's
courageous attitude. In its defense OF
better things. one OF two things VIII

are elected to represent the wishes oil
those who doubt the right OF the
brewers to dictate TO anybody, except
their employees. But possibly they

ing TO do in the present case" IL
that is true, IL will be necessary for
The Times TO hurl a few more OF
it's shafts in the direction where they
will do the most good.

IRELAND FORGING AHEAD.
Francis J. Kilkenny Says Emigra'
ton Will Not Cease, However.

ireland is rapidly forging to the front,
according to q statement made last even
ing at a meeting Of the Michigan Club
held In Pythian Temple by Francis j.
Kilkenny president OF the Irish Home
Going Association. under whose auspices
some 5000 persons Of Irish birth or de-
scent visited that country last year.
Although, the ''land act of 1905" which
gives the residents OF Ireland the right
10 purchase land outright, is helping the
country materially, he said, emigration
will not cease until some industry is in
PRODUCED which will give the people re-
munerative employment. One of the ways
of effecting this, said Mr.. Kilkenny, was
the advertising and subsequent acquaint-
ing Of the people of the world with the
products Of Ireland.
The introduction OF modern ideas and
the recent enactment Of bill providing
retirement OF persons over seventy years
of age are two other great forces which
are aiding progress, said President XII
kenny.

SCHOOL DECORATION PLAN.
League Has Scheme For Collection
of Pictures.

Every public school Of Washington will
be made attractive II plans drawn up by
members OF the League for the Decora-
tlon OF Public Schools, at a meeting held
in the Hubbard School. nth and Kenyon
streets northwest. yesterday afternoon.
are carried out.
The decorations will be in the form of
appropriate and tasteful pictures, money
for the purchase Of which is to be con-
tributed by private citizens and various
organizations of Washington. Members
of the league believe that II an appeal is
made enough persons will respond to
make 1t possible to decorate every school.
In return the organization responding
will have its name. on q small plate, on
the frame of the picture. as the donor.
The league will endeavor to collect money
for the purchase Of pictures, rather than
have the picture given. in order that only
high art works may find places on the
school walls The donor, however,
probably will have some veto" power In
the selection of the picture.
1t was stated at the meeting yesterday
that a good picture, framed. would cost
between $50 and $25. 1t is believed by
the members of the league, however. that
the money will be well spent, inasmuch as
the children will be educated to discrimi-
nate between tasteful pictures and the
less tasteful ones.

Analysis of the Pending Agreement
Made by Mr.. Mccall With Discus
sion Of Expected Development.
Advantage of Reciprocity.

Briefly stated, the economic ad-
vantages to us Of the reciprocal
duties and free lists proposed by
the bill are likely to be:
First, that they will act as reg
ulators Of the prices of very many
necessary articles generally con-
sumed by our people, and in times
of scarcity in particular articles
will tend to keep prices down. and
Second, by augmenting the
prosperity Of the country which.
according to her population is by
far the best foreign customer we
have, they will increase her pur-
chasing power and thus increase
our own trade. The bill Is meas
ure in the interest Of the great
mass of the people Of the country.
and the committee recommend its
passage. From majority report
on Canadian reciprocity bill.

T0 SEE CANAL WORK PACT BEFORE HOUSE
Moving Picture Show in House
Of Representatives.
IS FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
Solons Always Refuse Chamber for
Entertainment OF Other Purposes.

Who In the world would have thought
there'd ever be moving picture show
in the House Of Representatives? Yet
that is Just what Is scheduled for tomor-
row night Twill be free, too-though Sc
lect and limited.
The picture show-and the pictures will
be both moving and stationary-will de-
tail the building Of the Panama canal,
and no less a parsonage than Col. George
w. Goethals, chief engineer Of the great
waterway, will be the lecturer.
This is certainly the first time, so far
as the recollection OF the oldest member
and most ancient Capitol employe can be
trusted. that the House of Representa-
tives has ever consented to the use OF
the hall in which 1t holds its sessions for
other than strictly legislative caucus pur
poses. On many occasions national and
International bodies have sought the use
of the House chamber for their sessions.
But invariably their applications have
been courteously but firmly turned down.
To Show Great Public Work.
The only reason an exception has been
made in this case is that Col. Goethals
will discuss great public work in which
members Of the Senate, who have been
invited to attend, are vitality concerned.
Col Goethals came to Washington to
appear before House committees to testify
relative to proposed legislation bearing on
the canal. During the course OF con-
versation with Col Goethals he mentioned
that he brought to Washington with him
moving and stereopticon views that en-
abled him to present the canal work In
striking form to members who had been
unable to visit Panama. MI. Mann made
the suggestion that Col. Goerhals deliver
q lecture and exhibit his pictures in the
hall Of the House for the benefit of repre-
sentatives and members.
Lecture Tomorrow Night.
Col. Goethals assented. Mr.. Mann then
took the matter up with the leaders, with
the result that a resolution was offered
just before adjournment yesterday inviting
Col. Goethals to deliver his lecture as in
dictated. Tomorrow night was designated
as the time, and on that occasion, the
first, according to thost familiar with the
traditions of the Capitol, the House and
the Senate will assemble for the sole pur-
pose Of attending a lecture.
Col. GOethalS has some striking motion
pictures of canal operations, and stereop-
ticon views illustrating progress in the
building Of the waterway. These were
presented last night at a lecture he de-
livered before the National Geographic
Society. Tomorrow morning all his para
phernalia will be taken to the Capitol,
and after adjournment Of the House to-.
morrow afternoon installed, in: the cham
her. Col. Goethals will begin his lecture
at o'clock. From present indications
standing room will be at a premium
long before he begins. !.

May Build Up Better Industry.

1.-THE aggregate tonnage Of the Glouces-
ter fishing vessels is now q 900 and they
are manned by 1850 men. The lay or
share of the men yields them hardly as
much as the commonest laborer is paid
ashore. and the calling is full OF danger
The vessels are small. averaging but
seventy five tons; they fish in dangerous
waters shut in by fogs: they have none of
the modern safety equipments such as are
found upon merchant steamships; they
are no longer nurseries for our ships of
war. upon which conditions have SO radi-
cally changed. and they are a survival
of an order which has almost disappeared
IF it should not be a consequence Of
this bill 20 stop the decline which clearly
appears in the fishing part Of the indus
try as at present conducted, and il some
of the sailors should be turned from a
perilous and wretchedly paid calling into
safer and more prosperous pursuits. the
result would not be wholly evil. And 1t
must not be forgotten that the probable
result would be to give the American
people more abundant supply of fish,.

produce such vast quantities, Is not
concerned in the arrangement except
that our already large exports or corn
to Canada would very likely increase.
The short summer of Canada is not
favorable to the culture Of this grain.
The mutual commerce of the two cOun-
tries in all the products Of agriculture
do not disclose at any point any serl-
Gus threat to the interests OF the
farmer and he will get an undouDted
advantage in the free admission or i'm
portant articles which he consumes
and in a wider market for some OF his
products.
Free Admission Of Fish.
s"The bill proposes to put fish of various
kinds upon the free list in return Tor
similar action on the part of Canada. The
witnesses who made a definite remon-
STRANGE before the committee all came
from Gloucester. Mass, the home port of
our greatest fishing fleets and the center
of the salt fish industry. 1t Is not at all
clear that the free fish provisions OF the
bill would not put the deep sea Industry
upon a better basis. instead OF causing
the ruin that was predicted. There Is
no doubt that it's prosperity has been for
years declining under the present sys-
tenn. During the periods when fish have
been admitted free of duty Gloucester
tween 1879 and 1885 the population OF the
city increased as much as in the last
twenty-five years, although during the
first period fish were free and during the
second period subject to duty. At the
end Of the free period production had
reached proportions from which, after
the restoration of duties. it steadily de.
clined. s.,
Under the provisions of the bill It is
likely that the curing and sailing de-
partment OF the industry will gain. 1t
may be that they would not arrest the
decline in deep sea fishing, and that the
fleets would continue to dwindle as they
are Enthusiastically dwindling under the
present system.
There is no market for fresh fish In
Canada at all comparable to that of our
New England cities, and very likely the
fishermen of Canada would seek the bene-
fits Of this bill. But the fsh-curing in
dustry would follow that Of fresh fish
when the produce of the fleets is brought
to market. in the sorting of the catch and
in the temporary fluctuations of the price
of very perishable article many Of the
fish would have to be used in the curing
industry or thrown away. To the ex-
tent. therefore, to which the Canadian
fleets resort to our market they would
naturally transfer to us the f1sh-curing
industry and we should gain more than
We should lose.
