Lower Wool Duty.

With but one Democratic vote
in the negative and 24Republicans
voting for it the House last week
passed the Underwood bill to re-
duce the tariff on wool and wooden
manufactures by a vote of 220 to
100. Lower duties on wool will
benefit those who wear clothes 10
a very considerable extent, and
instead of hurting the wool grow.
ers it will cause an increased
demand for their staple, because
of the greater demand that will
come for wooden manufactures on
account of lowered price.
A strong opposition to the bill
will, of course, develop in the
senate, but the number of house
Republicans who are recorded in
its favor is some indication of the
stand that the progressives and
insurgents will take in the upper
house. The bill has a good fight
ing chance. It was demanded by
the people. It lowers rates on q
staple that enters into the manu-.
facture of the clothing Of the peo-
pie, and which has under the Re.
publican tariff been taxed inordi.
nately while luxuries, such as
silks, are given a much lower duty.
Were it not for the fact that gov.
ernmental revenues might be i'm.
paired thereby there is no doubt
that this Democratic measure
would have provided for the ad.
mission of wool absolutely free.

NEW PREVENTIVE
FOR PERITONITIS

LONDON, December 31.-A series
of incubation experiments which may
mark an epoch in the history of alb
domlnal surgery will shortly be made
the basis of a new preventive treat
ment for peritonitis at one of the great
London hospitals.
The original experiments which have
been carried out at the laboratories of
the Royal College of Physicians in
Edinburgh by Doctor Wilkie, under a
grant from the Carnegie trust, con-
sisted of inoculating rabbits with vac
cines and other substances as a pre-
liminary to abdominal surgical opera
tons to lessen or remove the danger
of peritonitis.
The surgeon who will have charge of
the further experiments at the London
hospital has stated, as Doctor Willxie
points out in the record of his expert
ments, published in the Medical Chro-
nicle, that in spite of the great ad-
vances of recent years in intestinal
surgery one of every five cases in
which the intestine has to be cut and
Joined together again terminates fatal
ly, with acute Inflammation resulting
from the action of germs attacking the
lining and membranes of the abdomen,
either during or after any operation
on the intestine. To the operating
surgeons this is their chief dread.
The original experiments were car
ried out to discover, if possible, some
means of preparing the patient before
an abdominal operation so as to rem
der him better able to withstand peri
tonitis should it occur.
Rabbits previously inoculated with
small doses of vaccine made from bac-
teria, combined with small doses Of
nocunucelein, were subjected to the
same abdominal operation as unino-
culated rabbits, the appendix being re-
moved in each case under ether or
another anesthetic.
Immediately after the operation mil
lions of live and violent bacteria, such
as are ordinarily found in fatal cases
of human peritonitis were injected in
to the peritoneal cavities of both sets
of animals The resulting deaths OF
unprepared animals in a few hours
from acute peritonitis and the absence
of any i'll effects in the prepared ami
mails have lent great encouragement
to the hope that with similar prepare

THE PRESIDENT
AND THE SOUTH

There is no doubt that the country
was surprised when the President
made a Southerner anC former Con-
federate soldier Chief Justice and no.
minated another Southern Democrat
for associate justice of the Supreme
Court. But there is no indication
that any part of the country became
indignant or frightened. Forty years
ago such appointments would have
been inconceivable. Twenty years ago
a Republican President would hardly
have dared to make them Even today
although a President of almost any
persuasion might fee free to disre-
gard sectional lines in appointing to
such high places, to cross party lines
so freely is not so common, and 1t is
doubtful If any Republican President
we have yet had would have been, I'M
der the circumstances, drawn so
strongly southwark as President Taft
was. His freedom from partisanship
and his disregard of sectional feeling
are both rather striking. Perhaps his
own experience on the bench, and his
clearly announced position on Federal
judgeships, sufficiently explain the
former. His attitude toward the South
can be explained only by a deliberate
purpose, formed either before his cleo.
ton or very soon after it, and firmly
adhered to. For he has apparently de-
termined to do all that he can do con-
sistently with his other duties to
make the South like the rest of the
country in its relations to the national
government. For a while politicians
naturally supposed that his sole object
was to make gains in the South for
his party, and that, no doubt. does
seem to him thing entirely desirable.
But such gains as his party had made
in that quarter were practically WHIP
ed out by the recent elections. It will
not have another chance for two years
to come. Yet the President goes on
treating the South just as he did in
the beginning His really controll-
ing motive in this matter is that of a
statesman, not politician.
We should not be surprised If there
we're southerners. Southern Demo

would feel a trihe better IL in the

Realizing that the opening of the
Panama canal is to create a revolution
in freight and passenger traffic by
water, and even at this early date
facing competition, the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company management is
considering plans for the establish
ment of a line from Colon, the Allan
tic port of the Isthmus of Panama, to
New York. Just when this Atlantic
line will be established is problem
atical, but men familiar with water
transportation conditions predict that
it will be within year.
So far this report of the intentions
of the Pacific Mail lacks absolute YER
ification, but tentative arrangements
have progressed so far as to leave
little doubt as to the ultimate result.
Contemplated as a part of this ar
rangement is the plan to charter the
steamship Ell Cid, now plying on the
Atlantic, and to place her on the New
York and Colon run. That this char
ter will be of a temporary nature on
ly is indicated by statement made
yesterday from the Offices of the Pa
cific Mail in the Flood building.

THE BIRTH OF DUFF.

Capt. Turner, of the Mauretania,
recounted the other day the birth OF
plum-duff, the dish of sailors.
Duff" he said, had a Christmas
origin. One Christmas day, hundreds
of years ago at sea, ship in a storm
was swept by a comber that carried
off her cook, her crate of chickens,
her turkeys-in a word, the whole raw
material of her Christmas dinner.
But the sailors were determined to
have at least some sort of a Christ
mas pudding. They knew nothing
about cooking, and they drew lots for
their new cook. The lot fell to the
boatswain's mate.
"This chap fished up a cook boot
from the bottom of his sea chest, ran
over the pudding recipes and chose
one that began:
Make a stiff dough.
HE made a pudding after this re-
cipe. It was stuffed with Malaga raj
sins and covered with a rich sauce
The men were delighted.
put a name to it, they said, put
a name to it,
"And the boatswain's mate, know
ing that r-o-u-g-h' was pronounced
ruff and thinking that 'd-o-u-g-h'
followed the same rule, answered rea-
Oily:
It's called duff, mates.

So he read on till he had completed

volunteered the belief that if Ell Cid
is chartered it will be for temporary
purposes only, for she is not of a
class that will be most adaptable for
the run in question.
At present the United States Gov
eminent is operating the railroad
across the Isthmus of Panama, and
also. it is operating a steamship line
from Colon to New York. The bust
ness offered this line has been more
than can be handled with dispatch,
and year or more ago, Bates s.
Cheesebrough, a transportation COM
pany that previously had operated
sailing vessels only, entered the
steamship business between Allan
tic and Pacific ports, using the Gov
eminent railroad across Panama to
facilitate the transportation of freight.
For a long time the American Ha-
waiian line has been doing a big bus
mess between Atlantic and Pacific
ports, using the railroad across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and for some
time transportation men have expect
