standing in Washington, recent
ly sent out a letter of inquiry tt
a large number of business men
including it's subscribers, asking
| for their opinion of the Sherman
law and whether the administra.
ton was honestly trying to en-
force it. The inquiries also di-
rected themselves to their pref,
erence for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination. A large num-
Der Of replies were received, in
dicating that the business world
is waking up to the Importance
of the question. A few give Roo
sevelt their preference, but the
majority are of the opinion that
if he is to run again it should be
deferred until 1916. The busi-
ness sentiment is almost unani-
nous for Taft. AS most of the
letters are confidential, the names
must be withheld, except where
permission is given to use them.
One from Philadelphia states
that in the opinion of the writer,
the head of one of the most pro-
minent wholesale drug firms in
the city, the administration is
honestly and energetically trying
to enforce the Sherman law, as
interpreted by the U. S, Supreme
court, which meets with the ap-
proval of the writer. Continu-
ing he says In our opinion, the
administration of Mr.. Roosevelt
was the most important in the
history of the country as giving
an Initiative to improvement OF
conditions that could only be CIV
en- by a man of his force and en-
ergy. For this reason he stands
alone and no one can be compar-
ed to him. In our opinion, Mr..
Taft should be renominated and
reelected. In our opinion, he
has given us an administration
that has continued the work
done by Mr.. Roosevelt and has
extended it. He has fearlessly,
though not viciously, enforced
the law. His administration has
been conducted on such a plane
as to indicate that he was guided
by purely patriotic motives in his
acts. Finally, his whole admin
listration has tended, not only t.
solve business problems, but ha'
elevated the political tone of tn
whole country. We are for Mr.
Taft, first, last and all the time. ;

Tariff for What2

for what purpose. The House o.
Representatives is Democratic
and believes in a tariff for rev
enue only; the Senate is Repub'
lican and holds to the time-hon'
ored doctrine o. tariff for protec-
as we'll as for revenue. The
House has passed the iron and
steel schedule, putting iron ore
and many other things on the
free list, and this goes to the
Senate for consideration. Will
it pass there? tits not probable,
because it contradicts the cher
ished system of the Republican
party. And should it pass in the
Senate a Republican president is
bound to veto it, because he was
elected to maintain the doctrines
Of the platform of his party.
President Taft is a progressive,
but a Republican progressive,
who will not betray his party for
a little Democratic approval. So,
upon the whole, we see no like
lihood OF much tariff reform by
this Congress.
It seems to us that the Demo-
cratic majority in the House is
pursuing an erratic course. Why
not begin on the wool and cotton
schedules upon which the Tariff
Commission has made such an
exhaustive report? With the data
furnished by the report the House
could frame a bill satisfactory to
the Senate and President. But
they had something else in view,
the Ways and Means committee
must show it's contempt for the
Tariff Board. Underwood made
the remark that a Tariff Board
appointed by the Ways and Means
committee would be a fine thing,
but a board appointed by the
President was naught. That is
to say, a nonpartisan board is OBJ
iectionable. A board with Dem
ocratic leanings would be more
useful. A strange utterance by
man posing as a leader of a
great party. 1t proves conclus-
lively that his tariff measures are
for politics only.
Why pass the iron and steel
bill upon which the nonpartisan
board has made no report? Be
cause the Ways and Means COM
mittee does not care for exact
knowledge on the question. They
are after revenue only. What do
they care about stopping the mills,
lowering wages, and throwing
people out of employment? Great
is tariff for revenue, and Under
wood is it's prophet.
Of course, the Senate will take
time to consider the effects of
such a measure. There will be
time given for hearings" before
the Finance committee. The Sem
ate does not want a repetition of
1898, when the country was made
stagnant by the tariff tinkering.
Why not revise the tariff with
candor and intelligence? Are
the Democrats in Congress de-
telmined to go according to their
preconceived notions2 Must the

Look here Tom: l don't agree with
you all along the line. But l want
to congratulate you On your bold
condemnation of those congressman
that voted for the Sherwood Pension
Bill. They would play big political
game at the expense of our burdened
taxpayers. I think that each con-
gresham that voted for it should be
retired to private life forever and
especially our Southern congressman
that supported it. They should, by
all means, have voted against it.

10 the Editor OF The Times:
Speaking Of plays of offensive to
American Catholics, why is there no
protest from the more enlightened
of these against the Hichens play
now running at the Century theatre?
For in the Judgment of all sane
thinkers, "The Garden of Allah" in
the lesson it would teach, is the
severest indictment that could pos
sibly be drawn against the Roman
Catholic religion unless the author
presumably a devout adherent of
the SYSTEMS guilty of gross mis-
representation.
The story of a Trappist monk who,
as sensitive, emotional youth, had
taken vows Of perpetual silence, cell
bacy, and poverty, which his later
manhood repudiated; and after
escaping from his monastic prison,
, winning the love Of a pure woman
a Catholic like himself, to whom he
is united in marriage by a priest of
their own faith, should then be so
tortured by thoughts of his apostasy
as to renounce his earthly love and
all his hopes of domestic bliss, desert
his wife and unborn child to return
to his clustered cell, might COM
mend itself to the fanaticism of
medieval times when the monastic
fetch was at it's height, but can
hardly be expected to make a very
strong appeal to the enlightened
sense of this age.
Mr.. Hichens may plead artistic
license in making his hero, Androv-
sky, true to his monkish role and the
rule of long years Of ascetic train
ing; but he outrages both realism
and humanity when he depicts
Domini, all aristocratic English
woman of the world, as loving
wife and fond expectant mother,
driving her husband back to the
monastery in frenzy of spiritual
exaltation.
Such denoument is not only dis
appointing to all true lovers of
wholesome romance, but revolving
and exasperating to all modern
notions of decency and morality
Will some intelligent and large
minded Catholic tell us whether the
message of "The Garden of Allah"
is supported by the present attitude
of the church, or presents merely the
morbid imaginings of Robert HIGH
ems somewhat misty brain? If the
latter, then the libel in this play
makes that Of the Western Play Boy
very mild by comparison.

Bill, which was introduced
into the Senate.
AS you are aware, the tax rate is
limited by Constitutional amendment
to five mills. The condition of the
treasury was such last summer that
1t was current rumor that the COVER
nor would be forced to veto parts of
the general appropriation bill.
The State treasury was in such
condition that Governor Smith
appeared before the committee on
appropriations Of the Senate for the
purpose of calling attention to the
necessity OF keeping the appropria-
lions within the estimated revenue.
In order to accomplish this purpose
a part of the public school appropria-
ton was made available only in 1913.
The State appeared to be from
100000 to 100000, in arrears
after giving credit for the estimated
increase of taxable property.
Senator A. O. Blalock introduced
a bill providing by constitutional
amendment for the Service Pension,
that is pension to every Confed-
crate soldier without reference to his
financial condition. Under the bill
every wealthy man would have been
entitled to draw a pension who had
served as a Confederate soldier.
At the same time a bill was intro
duced by Senator Isaiah Williams,
Confederate soldier, providing for the
increase of pension to those now
receiving the pension.
Without going into the merits of a
Service Pension at all, the state of
the treasury rendered such pension
absolutely impossible.
You will observe that in the bill
Of Senator Blalock no provision was
made by which the Service Pension
could be paid. The very debt of the
State could hardly be paid with the
revenue in sight. To pass such a
bill, therefore, without any provision
for payment, was in my judgment,
unfair and unbusiness-lke. In addi-
ton, | thought that it was fairer to
pay an increased pension to the needy
Confederate veteran who was with
out any means of support, rather
than to the Confederate veteran of
independent means.
I, therefore, suggested that in
view Of the state Of the treasury the
only honest way to pass the bill was
to submit it in the form of a Consti-
tutional amendment, allowing the
levy of such extra tax over and
above the five mills as would be nee
essary to raise the amount covered
by the cost.
Without making provision for the
revenue necessary for the Service
Pension Bill would constitute
menace to the needy and deserving
Confederate now receiving pensions,
because if the fund were insufficient
to pay the Service Pensions and the
needy pensioners, it would be an easy
step to make an apportionment
between them, which l thought
unfair.
My every impulse is one of kindly
feeling to the needy Confederate vet
eran. My father was a Confederate
soldier, and was shot in the service.
My male relatives on both sides were
in the Confederate service, and some
yielded their lives in that service. [
and all my people were born in Geor-
gia.
While I was acting governor and
when there was not enough money to
pay all of the Confederate veterans,
/ used all the available funds lying
in the banks belonging to the State
of Georgia to pay, so far as the
,,oonou would or A let IF tho 0nun-
