wool schedule was ''indefensi.
ble," and as soon as the oppor.
tunity was offered him to ap.
prove of bills reducing the tariff
duties in accordance with his
campaign promise he vetoed
them instead of signing them.
The Democrats have long
been promising that at the first
opportunity they would reduce
the tariff duties and remove as
far IS possible the tariff burdens
from the American people. The
opportunity came and the Demo-
Gratis have fulfilled their promise
as Tar as it has been possible to
Go so in a few months of legisla-
ton, with a hostile Senate and a
hostile President to check them
in anything they may do in the
interest of the people and against
the interests of the trusts.
Practically every schedule in the
tariff bill has been gone and the
duties reduce, especially where
the duties are found to be in the
interests of trusts and calculated
to increase the duties on the ne
cessities of life. When Champ
Clark was asked if he had heard
from the wool growers and the
manufacturers Of wooden goods,
he replied that he had heard
from ninety-three millions of
American people who are de
handing cheaper clothing and
that it was because of this graat
cry from the people for relief
that the Democrats in the House
had taken up the wool bill first of
all the tariff changes.
But, although the President
himself has said the existing
wool schedule is 'indefensible"
and has said that the duty on
wool is too high and that it
ought to have been reduced, " he
has vetoed the bill in which the
Democrats in the House and the
House and the Democrats and
Progressive" Republicans III
the Senate had tried to give re-
lief from the tariff burdens under
which the people are suffering.
In his campaign he declared in
favor of the people; in his admin
istration he has stood by the
trusts to the extent of vetoing
bills intended for the popular re-
lief. The Democrats have kept
their promises; the Republicans
have broken theirs and the
President has promised one
thing and done another.
The issue in the next cam
paign is plain. 1t will be wheth.

7. During the closing days of the
session, individual members of
Congress, in either House, nave
accomplished little. The time
of both Senate and House has
been taken up with the consider
alton of such important measures
as the tariff bills, the Statehood
bill. the campaign publicity bill
and other matters Of general
legislation and the individual
has had little to do unless he had
some speech he wanted to get
before the Senators or Congress-
men in regard to one of the
pending big bills. There has
been no opportunity for the in
dividual TO get private bills
through during the pendency Of
the more important matters and
there has been no necessity to
introduce bills when the adjourn
ment was in sight. Consequent
~, the West Virginia members
have not been making very much
news in the last few days. They
have been voting right, however,
on all the bills which have come
up for passage. Both in Senate
and House the West Virginia
Democrats have voted strictly in
accord with the party on all
measures which have come up.
Congressman Hughes, the lone
Republican from the State, who
reached here a few days before
time for adjournment, has voted
consistently with the rest of the
'Stand-Patters" and against the
reduction of any tariff duties.
The rest of the delegation from
West Virginia has represented
the people who sent them to
Congress and in both Senate and
House have voted steadfastly
for tariff reduction and other
Democratic measures.

But for the veto Of President
Taft, West Virginia coal opera
tors might soon be enjoying en-
larged trade relations with Can
ada, and West Virginia miners
might be working extra time to
pet nut the coal necessary to sup
ply The Increased demand from
that country. Senator Watson
succeeded in having the Senate
adopt his amendment to the cot
ton bill, placing coal from Canada
imported to the United States on
the free list whenever Canada
admits American coal into that
country free of duty. As Can
ada wants the American coal.

, the chances are that the two
countries would soon have been
operating on a mutually free
trade basis IN coal, but for the
Presidents veto.
What free coal relations with
Canada would mean to the coal
operators of West Virginia was
stated some time ago by Senator
Watson, who, as the largest op-
orator in the State and the lagest
soft coal operator in the world
should know pretty we'll about
trade conditions. His opinion, as
stated recently, was that free
Canadian coal would largely in
crease the market of every
West Virginia coal operator.
especially those from the South
ern part of the State. This
would have meant increased ac-
tivity at the mines of the State
and increased prosperity for all
miners.
But the President vetoed the
bill and the additional market for
West Virginia coal will not be
had now. But it wasn't the
fault of the West Virginia Dem
ocrats in Congress, either in the
Senate or the House. for all of
them voted for it.

Senator Watson was the first
of the West Virginia delegation
to get away for the recess of
Congress, leaving last Saturday.
All the members of both Houses
were tired out after a long and
strenuous Session and were anx-
ious to get away. Senator Wat
son left only after all important
measures had been passed upon
and when there was nothing
more to come up. Senator Chill
ton remained over Sunday, leav-
ing this week.

Senator Watson and Chiffon
were compelled to decline an in

Senate and had passed the bill
which had already passed the
House authorizing the construc-

nounced that the Hilltoppers would dis
band the coming Saturday night. after
the game with Loyola College at Bal

This means that Georgetown will have
but two more encounters. one with the

MOTOR BOAT RACING.
Change in Rules Will Work for Good
of Sport.

NEW YORK. February 1S.-Cndoubt-
eddy the most interesting change in the
new rules, pursuant to the revised con-
ditions for the British international tro-
ply for motor boats, is the clause that
says that there shall he at least two
races and as many more as necessary
until one country has won two races for
the prize. Heretofore it has been the
custom to decide the event by single
contest. This created considerable crit
icism last summer. In the struggle for
the cup off the Larchmont Yacht Club, the
Pioneer, the challenger, the property OF
the Duke of Westminster. ran foul Of
a bed of seaweed and was delayed long
enough to lose the struggle. At that
time it was acknowledged by the repre-
sentatives of both the United States and
England that one contest was not a fair
test and a series of races should be held
TO decide the ownership of the trophy.
