THE TARIFF ISSUE WILL NOT DOWN.

eH HE trainers of the Payne Aldrich tariff were unsknful poll
Il ticans, as the sequel shows. Having enacted the bill to
their satisfaction they rested from their labors, contenting
themselves with the thought that they had settled the tariff ques-
ton for another generation. Never were men more utterly mis-
taken and selfdeuded. II the tariff had been revised downward,
according to promise and to popular expectation, the issue would
not have been raised and the Republican party would have been
continued in power. But now that it is uppermost in national
politics it will take it's irresistible course.

Many Failed T. Observe HoIida
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
I was much and painfully surprised
at the amount OF business that was
done in this city yesterday in spite OF
the fact that the day was one dedi-
Gated to the memory of the man whom
every n loves and venerates, Abra-
ham Lincoln. Although the banks and
courts were closed, under the law, II
appeared to me that business in the
stores was brisker than ever. Men
scurTted about the downtown streets as
though full of all sorts of plans for
~"soooping in" Just one more dollar,
and there was only q semblance Of q
holiday air in town. At night, OF
course, there was lots Of talk at din
ners about the martyr President - "the
savior Of the Union" and other trite
phrases that are unwound whenever
the birthday rolls around.
Americans have too few holidays,
anyway, to neglect one; but, as I heard
a young mar remark yesterday In
commenting upon the general lack OF
the observance of the holiday: 1.-THE
people are not used to 1t yet, and we
everybody will celebrate"

opposes Postal Hate Boost.
To the Dditor OF tho Evening Star:
One Of the most colossal mistakes
ever made by the postoff1ce depart
ment will be the increasing Of tho post
age rates on magazines to our cents
per pound, thereby practically prohib-
iting the publishers from using the
mails as a means Of circulating, and
either entirely depriving the public Of
the magazines hat now form such a
large part of its reading or forcing
them to pay rs and IS cents for them,
as was tho custom before the lower
priced publications invaded the field 3
score of years ago.
The reason given by the postoffice
department for the proposed increase
In the postage rate is that it viii help
to make the department self-sustain-
ing. It would seem that a better way
to achieve this purpose would be to
hurry along h establishment Of a
parcels post.
Back of all the agitation looms the
Nfact that men high in government CIR
cles and leaders in financial circles hate
the popular-pr1ced magazines for tho
publicity that a been given to many
plans and schemes that the politicians
and f1nanciers would rather have had
kept in the background than put In the
limelight OF publicity by the so-called
undertaking magazines.
The undertaking magazines have
worked for the good OF the entire couu-
try, and instead of being hampered by
an excessive postage rate should be
aided. READER.

Wants More Honor for Lincoln.
To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
Is it because Lincoln has not been
dead long enough that his birthday Ia
not celebrated as 1t should bef Is his
memory not lear enough to the store
keeper to make it worth while to close
the business houses Of the city? II
Washington was great because he was
the Father Of his Country. then Lincoln
ought to be considered great because
he was the savior of the country; and
because he rid the nation of its greatest
disgrace, that of being a slave-hoiding
nation.
Granted that the authorities have
done much by making February 10 a
legal holiday. But can the powers that
be not induce the shopkeepers to close
their stores and to celebrate, not by

STEERS SAVE IN SHIPWRECK
Two Passengers Ride BuIIocks Ashor.

Score Perish.

New York.-Riding ashore from a
wrecked ship on the backs of steers
was the way two passengers of the
Iapoga were saved on the coast of
Panama. More than 20 of the passen.
gers and crew perished.
A herd Of steers stampeded from
the hold when the vessel struck and
smashed lifeboat which Just beina
lowered Nearly every person in the
boat was drowned, and many, as they
lell' were crushed under the animals.
Two passengers, however, found the
cattle godsend and rode ashore
upon their backs.
According to statements made there
were but three life preservers on the
craft. AS the boat was sinking the
second engineer, Perivanchi, and q
cuban manufacturer, Gregoire, though
unable to swim. said they would not
crowd the already heavily taxed life
boats. When there was not a woman
or child left on the ship and not an
otner human being could be carried in
the lifeboats they calmly lighted Gig
arettes and smoked until the Taboga
settled. The body of neither was
found.

Princess Pless, for example. almost

CORVALLIS West of the same family
invariably wears the smartest of
smart suits In heavy serge and, to
select an example in the very highest
circle, the present queen of England is
devoted to navy serge. Both she and
her mother-in-law, Queen Alexandra,
have a special fancy for diagonal
serge Of very supple texture.
Redfern used to have lengths Of this
serge specially woven for Queen
Alexandra and the color chosen was
almost always that dark blue in which
there is faint tinge of purple.

sllNlE NDING REclPRo lTY BILL

S;Es kiME MIDI GS nECiEROS BiEL.5ffSF3
Various prop ositions ara made IN
the senate for the amen ment of the
reciprocity bill. Senator Root prop oses
amendments Of the paper schedule.
Some members propose to attach TO
the, bill in the form Of an amendment
the whole house free list. Still other
propositions for amendment will 5un-ss
doubtedly be made. Most OF such pro
posals are not made In good faith
but are made for the purpose OF defeat
ing by indirect means what is feared
cannot be. defeated directly. This
is especially true ofthe proposed free
list amendments. Nobody expects
that the bill carrying the free list
amendments will pass. The senate
would not pass the combination If it
should vote to incorporate the amned-
ments in the original BILL 1t is gen
orally believed that the president
would not sign bill Of that character,
though it is not at all certain how far
Mr.. Taft might go rather than see the
whole reciprocity movement fail. Z; y Y.
+ But the reciprocity bill is not an or.
binary piece Of legislation. 1t is an in
ternational agreement to which there
are two parties. 1t !, was framed by
the representatives of two nations, and
it was framed along lines which, in
the opinion of those representative
men, gave reasonable prospect of it
being fairly satisfactory to the people
Of the two nations. It has been sub
mitted, according to agreement, to the
American congress, the Canadian par
lament, and the normal and natural
and logical thing is for each of those.
bodies to adopt it as it stands or re-
ject it as it stands. It is one prop
osition for both countries to act on,
and they ought to act on the same
proposition or we are no nearer re-
suits than we were BEFORE. The bill
has been passed by the house. If the
senate amends it even in the smallest
particular, it must go back to the
house for concurrence. Perhaps the
house would concur, and perhaps it
would not. In any event time would
be lost and the thing would stand a
chance of being worn out, which, of
course, is what its opponents desire.
Then, if the bill were amended, pass
ed by both houses and signed by the
president, it would be different legis-
lation from that being acted on in
Canada and there would again be, a
chance of failure. $.'' r.. : /: Z
We believe it is good craftsmanship
to oppose. the. amendment. Of this bill
in any particular. Let it be voted on
If 1t stands. If legislation, pertaining
TO- our general tariff is desired, that
