TARIFF BOARD SEEMS DOOMED
Opposition In Senate Appears to Be
Strong Enough TO Defeat Measure.

Opposition In Senate Appears to Be
Strong Enough to Defeat Measure.
Washington, Feb. s. - The bill to
create a tariff board probably will be
reported out OF the senate finance
committee to face the opposition OF
nearly all the Democrats and not a
few Republicans
Its most enthusiastic supporters are
not sanguine of success. and already
they are counting upon its probable
failure to serve as an incentive for the
calling Of an extra session.
The finance committee took up the
inquisitorial section It was voted to
strike this section from the bill, but
later this action was rescinded. There
seemed to be little objection to that
part of the section which would give
to the board the power to require in
dividuals or firms to produce books
and papers.
The provision Of the house bill
which would enable the board to col
lect information .'for its confidential
use" was stricken out.

CRITICISM OF COL. ROOSEVELT


The Washington Post objects to
continued criticism and what 1t is
pleased to call abuse Of Col. RooSe-
Welt. basing its remarks on the latest
violent criticism of the ex-Presldent'
claimed to have been found among
the papers of Mark Twain. ana ITS
protest on the fact that Mr.. Roose-
Welt is an ex-President. The Post
has become hypocritical these days,
but there was a time when there was
nothing too bad The Washington
Post could find to say about Iheo-
dore Roosevelt. This was in the
period before the latter mounted the
ladder of fame and power, and when
criticisms of his acts and saying were
in nowise justified, and yet The Post
used up column after column in hit
ter attack on and sarcastic reference
to Mr.. Roosevelt. In after yea 5,
when he became President, The Pest,
following its usual custom OF prais-
ing the occupant of the White House,
opened its columns to enthusiastic
compliments for the Colonel, ano
now. when Mr.. Roosevelt is no longer
President, cant get over the habit
of defending him. We do not believe
in vicious attacks on or abuse o any
public man, but surely if n nan by
his acts and conduct and total disre-
gard of the feelings of others ever
laid himself open to severe criticism,
that man is Theodore Roosevelt.
The man who formed the so-caiieG
Ananias Club, who has wsntonly ana
recklessly denounced psblic men and
been generous with his criticism and
abuse on numerous occasions cannot,
nor has he the right to, protect HIM
self from retaliation by the fact that
he was at one time President OF the
United States. In justice to MIR.
Roosevelt we are free to admit that
he is too intelligent and too sensible
to attempt to do so. The Post might
profit by his example.

THE STEEL INDUSTRY AMI
THE CHESAPEAKE.

The Newport News Times-Herald
thinks the news that the Carnegie
Steel Company has purchased a large
peice of land on the Maryland side
of the Chesapeake, on which a stee.
plant will be erected, means that
Charles NJ. Schwab's prediction to
the effect that the steel industry
would eventually seek locations on
the bay is about to come true and
that the Hampton Roads section will
later profit thereby. We hope that
this is trne and in spite of the many
bad things said about the steel trust
we would like very much for It to
take notion to build its gigantic
plants in Virginia.
