Our Democratic friends are al
ready feeling the horns of the
tariff reform dilemma upon which
they are now enSconced in place
Of the Republicans. There are
indications that promise the
Democrats will be as far apart as
to how the tariff should be reyiS-
ed as the Republicans We're a
year and Il half ago when they
were working on the job. Champ
Clark, who has been unanimous
" nominated for the SDeakerShip
at the next session. is for feeling
his way carefully on the PROPOSE
ton and wants to take it a sched-
ule at time. bat there are a lot
of other Democrats. like Senator
Bailey of Texas, who want u gen
eral revision at once. Bailey.
however. wants protection for
raw materials Of whatever kind.
and each of the Democratic mem >
bers of the House and Senate
wants protection for all the pro
ducts of his own particular sec
ton. So it will be seen that
there is a pretty problem before
the Democrats when they are
ready to tackle the whole CUES,
ton Of tariff revision. But that
what they made their campaign
and won out on last Noyem Der.
and its down and out for them
unless they can carry out their
promises and make a better
tariff law than the one now in

some with consideration of im-

The Speaking Clock.

There is nothing outWardly re-

piece known as the time stating

hour an agreeable voice issues
from it, announcing the correct
time. as. twelve o'clock. twelve

The works Of the clock actuate
a stout belt, which runs over a
roll connected with the sounding
box.
Upon this belt. or rather film,
the hours, which have been re-
corded by phonograph. are i'm
pressed by galvanization on a
copper plate.
The mechanism which moves
the hands is connected with the
speaking device, and this with a
funnel which re-inforces the
sound and projects it outward
through a finely grated opening
attached to the narrow side of
the clock.

duceS the clock to silence But

the hour without striking a light,

The subject Of supreme inter

the Supreme Court in the con-
test cases. It is not doubted by
any well informed man here that
it is the purpose of the attorneys
for the Democratic contestants
to lay the foundation for a tech
nical decision by the court. No
one believes for a moment that
the majOritieS received by the
Republicans can be overcome by
corrections to be made in the
election returns. or by throwing
out votes which may be found to
nave been fraudulently cast. The
likelihood is that the Democratic
contestants will lose more votes
in the recount than their sue
ceSsful Republican opponents.
The Congressional and Legisla
tive contests already heard in
St. Louis show concluSively that
very few fraudulent votes are to
be found in the St. Louis ballot
boxes and that the count of the
honest votes found therein was
50 nearly correct. as officially
reported by the Board of Elec
ton Commissioners. as TO leave
no doubt that the ina aiOrities for
the Republican candidates are as
large or larger than they were
credited with. It is not an un-
| fair conclusion, therefore. that
| the contestants expect to gain
from technical errors found in
handling the ballots and in dis
carded ballots what they lost in
the honest balloting Of the vot-
ers. No man in public life here.
