AFFAIRS AT
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON
Matters of General and Sec
tional Importance from the
National Capital.
Washington, D. c., November
23.-" Uncle Joe" Cannon re-
Gently remarked that he always
found difficulty in spending his
time between midnight and bed
time, from which it might be
correctlv inferred that the form
er speaker is considerable of a
night hawk. Just now Mr.. Can
non is a member of a party visit
ing Panama on a tour Of inspect
ion of the canal. There has hard
ly been a time since congress ad-
journed but that a number of
representatives or senators have
been down to the Isthmus, and
the result is that legislation and
appropriations needed from the
coming session will be directed
by the members who have per-
sonal knowledge of the needs of
Americas greatest engineering
project.
The American shoe manufac-
turer is giving Johnnie Bull a
''foot" race in the export trade,
having exported over seven mil
lion pairs of shoes to the worlds
market in 1910, and at the pres
ent rate of speed it is estimated
that this country will send over
eight million pairs of it's shoes
abroad in 1911. The United
Kingdom exported thirteen mil
lion pairs -of shoes in 1870. but
the percentage Of gain is small
as compared with the United
States. One wonders after trip
>through New England, and par
ticularly through Brockton, where
the Douglas and Walkover fac
tories are located, and to Lynn,
where armies of men and women
are employed in making women's
shoes, how it is that so many
shoes can be used, but already
Milwaukee, St. Louis, Philadel-
phia and other sections are maxi
ing the Massachusetts cities
hump to maintain their supre-
macy. Besides the great domes-
tic supply one wonders where
all the exports go, and the an
swer is: everywhere. Our most
productive markets are Japan,
Korea, Siam. the Dutch East
Indies, Egypt, Portuguese Africa,
Liberia, tn e Belgian Kongo,
Asiatic Russia, Alden, German
Oceanica, British Guiana, Ecua-
dor Salvador. Costa Rica. Rou-
mania, Turkey in Asia, China,
British South Africa, Paraguay,
the Straits Settlements, Spanish
Africa, Bulgaria, Honduras,
Dutch West Indies, Haiti, Santo
. Domingo, Servia, the Azores,
MADEIRA, to say nothing of the
larger importers of our boots and
shoes-Cuba, Mexico. England,
Canada, Germany and France.
The tariff may be thread-worn.
but as subject to be dealt with
by congress it is doubtful if there
has been a more general demand
for revision in years than
exists now. OF course the whole
democratic representation can
see none of the merits of the
Payne-Aldrich law, and most re-
publicans, including the presi-
dent, are willing there should be
a revision of some of the sche-
dulles. The big fight of the
special session over the wool
schedule will be revived, with the
difference that the report Of the
Tariff Board will clear away the

There is trouble ahead for the
commerce court, which is being
accused of causing delay in car
rying out the policies of the In

with reference to railroads.
Senator Borah declares that Con-
gress will repeal the law provid-
ing for the court, and says that
only a veto of such action by the
president can save the court.
Members of congress are freely
asserting that before the creation
of the court the railroads accept

but that since the creation of the
commerce court practically all
important cases are appealed and
final action thereon delayed.
