TARIFF BOARD TO
Be FIGHT CENTER
Democrats Think Commis-
sion-f Is Scheme to Delay
Revision.

That the tariff fight in the approach
ing session Of Congress will center
around the advocates of the tariff board
and . necessary delay in tarir revision
on the one hand and a determined effort
on the part Of Democrats in the House,
assisted by a. few insurgents, Is becom-
ing apparent as the date for the extra
session approaches
If the Democrats are to succeed in
writing a revision of the Payne-Aldrfch
law into the statute books. they will
have to dispose Of President Taft's as
sertion that Congress cannot properly
and wisely revise the tariff at the extra
session, because the tariff board is not
ready to report. Democratic leaders iE
the House are preparing to present the
argument to the country that to sup
port the Taft plan means a delay IN tar
III revision. while support of the Demo-
cratic tariff bills means that the coun-
try will be afforded the earliest possible
relief. =
Interests Alert.
That the problem is beginning to ex-
cite considerable interest is evident by
the preparations made throughout the
country by the interests which would be
involved in tariff revision.
Hilary A. Herbert, one of the most
prominent lawyers in Washington, who
served as Secretary Of the Navy in
President Cleveland's Cabinet, has
Joined forces with those who are de-
termined that the extra session of Con-
gress shall not adjourn without tariff
revision. Mr.. Herbert condemns the
plan to wait for the tariff board report
as subteTfuKe.
IF the board that was organized and
al work some time before December,
1909, can only report on one schedule by
December, 1911, expending annually
s1s5, CO.," says Mr.. Herbert, it will re-
quire at the same rate twenty-four
more years and an additional expendi-
ture of A,592SO0 to enable US to hear
from the remaining twelve schedules.
No Reason to Wait.
The tariff board is now presumably
in a position to give information
pI pIomptly. Should it fail or refuse TO
do so there would be no obligation on
Congress to wait. On the other hand
if Democrats should fail to consider or
demand before framing their legisla-
ton on information which the public
will believe was accessible, the conse-
QuenceS might be serious.
1T must also he remem bered that
tariff board reports, whether or not
called for or considered now, are COM
ing:
TT is, therefore. respectfully asked:
Why should not the Ways and Means
Committee call now for reports to be
made on specified schedules, say, one
each in August, September, October,
and November? As we have seen, the
board has had ample time, as we'll as
facilities, and we cannot presume that
either Mr.. Taft or the board would
make any difficulties. II not seen be-
fore il might be awkward, and would
probably be a loss of time for II to be
compelled to answer tariff board fg-
ures, for the first time, on the floor of
the House"

Lecturer Halls Reyes
AS Savior of Mexico

Gen. Bernardo Reyes was hailed as
the savior Of Mexico by Robert S. Bar
rett, former editor OF the Mexico City
Record, in an address on Mexico at
the Columbia Theater last night. The
feature of Mr.. Barrett's address was
the marked tribute he paid to General
Reyes, who he says is the logical sue
cessor of President Diaz, and the
strongest and most popular man in
Mexico today.
Mr.. Barrett believes the government
will soon be able to put down the revo-
luton, and discussed at length the diff
ferent causes which, In his Judgment,
led UP to the present trouble. Presi-
dent Diaz, he said, was one of the
greatest men in the world today, and II
he was able to lead the army the revo-
luton would be quickly at an end.

Glenn Brown and David Fairchild are
wise in their day and generation. They
are the fellows who are teaching Wash
ington to make its front and back
yards pretty, but that isn't the reason
for this observation concerning their
wisdom. They are wise because they
have chosen the most effective channels
through which to preach their doctrine.
They are going about the city. giving
lectures wherever men and women
gather together-in churches, club rooms,
lodge rooms, and other meeting places.
Others who are striving to furnish the
public with helpful information would
find it profitable to use the Brown and
Fairchild methods, which will carry far
ther than many thousands of printed
words.
We sympathize with the Democratic
members of the new House of Represen-
tatives who are anxious to devote their
attention in the extra session to i'm
portant legislation demanded by the
country, and, incidentally, calculated to
strengthen their political position in
1912. We are frankly anxious 20 see
the Democrats make good" But we
are also frankly anxious to see them
do some wise, constructive legislating
for the District of Columbia. The extra
session would be a most opportune time
to build and pass laws badly needed in
the District. No appropriation bills will
be in the way. II the Democrats will,
they have it in their power to render
valuable service to the country, and to
the people of Washington by devoting
a little time to District business. Politi-
cal maneuvering should not he per-

Heatstroke and Sunstroke.

Heatsroke and sunstroke are terms
usually applied indifferently to either
Of two quite distinct conditions, to
each Of which only one of the names
properly applies. Heatstroke, as its
name implies, is condition caused by
the action of excessive heat, either the
torrid heat of summer or the artificial
heat Of foundry, furnace, the stoke
hole of a steamship, etc. 1t occurs
with almost as great frequency at
night as in the day, and its victims
may be overcome on a cloudy day or
without having ventured from their
homes. The other form, properly call
ed sunstroke, is due to the direct ac-
ton of the sun-probably of it's ultra
violet or chemical rays rather than of
its heat rays. Only those who have
been long exposed to the direct rays of
the sun, such as soldiers on the march,
harvesters, ball players, etc., ere the
subjects of true sunstroke.-Dr. T. l..

Bones Stronger Than Oak.

The wonderful power Of bone struc-
ture has been tested scientifically to
show how that hollow bone bears
strain. A very small bone, only enc
square millimeter l0155 square inch)
in diameter, will hold thirty-three
pounds in suspension without break
ing, while a piece of the best oak Of
the same thickness will hold up only
twenty-five pounds. The bone is
therefore half again as strong as the
solid oak, thus showing that nature is
economical in the weight given to
bones, making them hollow and at the
same time makes them stronger than
if they were solid and much heavier.
This principle has been recognized in
mechanics, engineers using hollow
steel tubes instead Of solid to meet
great strain.-New York World.
