THREE YEARS OF FREE TRADE.

1t is calculated that for the current fiscal year the
trace between the United States and the Philippines
viii exceed forty million dollars That is more than
twice the amount of commerce between this country
and the islands three years ago when tariff obstruc-
lions still obtained.
Such are the fruits of three years of free trade.
Had the policy of protection prevailed in this in
tance as it has continued to in other instances
should have been deprived of many millions of bust
ness that is rightfully ours and neither the
faeturer nor the individual consumer would have had
any compensation.
It was argued. strangely enough. that the removal
OF the Philippine duties would hurt the American in
weston and the American workingman. The Interests
fought that revision Of the tariff as holly and as
speciously as they fight all proposed revisons. The
results have beied all their gum predictions.
a.. the policy Of tariff for revenue only, looking
ultimately free trade. produce such handsome
outcome in the case of these faraway and compare
lively Insignificant islands. what will it not accom-
pIish when applied to commerce in the large, to
South America and Canada and our European cor
respondents?
AS Governor Wilson has expressed it. the argu-
ments that were advanced in favor of protective
tarfH generation or so ago have become antquated.
The truth is high tariff is not only unnecessary
to protect our home industries but it is also inef
fectual in protecting them. 1t positively hurts the
business OF the country a whole. 1t checks de-
veIopment and throttles independence. The people
are weary of a system that is outworn and absurd.
They are trusting that Democracy will prove itself
worthy and capable Of bringing them relief

Owing to the extreme length of the ballot it was considerably af- ter midnight when the larger precints of the county finished counting but many remained un- tilthattime.
 The early bulletins on the state results on the Governors and Senators. race gave practically everything for Robinson and Davis, and this kind of news kept coming in until it grew to be rather monotonous for the few Donaghey men present.

BOYS DAY AT VIRGINIA
SKEE SLIDE

The management of the Vir-
ginia Skee Club has designated
next Sunday as Boys Day at the
slide, having arranged a neat ar
ray of prizes for distribution
among the winners of the events
which will be confined strictly to
the youngsters.
At the time of the last tourna-
ment a large number of the pros
pective champions of the future
were in attendance and gave a
splendid exhibition, certain of
them coming very near the marks
made by the amateur riders.
The Sunday event will have a
tendency to draw out as big a
crowd as has either of the tourna-
ments for the season, and while
perhaps no worlds records may
be broken it is a certainty the ex-
hibit will be worthy Of your at
tendance.

TENSION OF CITY LIMITS
In Address at Commercial Club
Meeting Mr.. Murphy Outlines
Several Propositions He Be-
lieves Would Tend to Virginia s
Advantage.

The "Booster Meeting' Of the
Virginia Commercial Club at the
Lyric on Friday evening last, fol-
lowing the performance, brought
out the ideas of several speakers
on lines considered for Virginia s
advancement. A. G. Flournoy Of
the Publicity Committee acting as
chairman.
Among speakers Of the evening
the address by Mayor-Elect Mur-
ply was perhaps of the greatest
moment to Virginians, outlining
as it did the lines on which the
new administration will be drawn
if made to conform to the mayor 8
ideas. First and foremost may be
enumerated the expansion Of the
city limits to include much outly-
ing mining property, Mr.. Murphy
contending that inasmuch as the
mines received the advantages Of
city protection in many ways he
believed there would be little OBJ
jecton to being included within
the city limits by the larger in
terests represented. The speaker
also launched the plea for a CON-
mission form Of government, SET
ting forth his belief that in a
growing and prosperous commun-
ity like Virginia it would be
found to work to the advantage
of all. He also espoused the
municipal ownership Of the light
and water plant, on which plat
form he was elected, and believed
in city assistance to a band, in
concerts at the park and social
features for the multitude.
Mr.. Murphy was followed by
number of other speakers, includ-
ing Jack Getchell, the ase-ball
fan, who spoke on the idea Of
league ball and the benefit of such
sport to city, expressing the be-
lief that with proper backing
such an enterprise could be made
to chit the: ball. with pleasing
returns in Virginia. So -. >>~> =
NJ. H. Mcmahon spoke at some
length on the province of Com
mercial Club in boosting for aught
for the advancement and perma-
nent building of a city and COM
plimented the body highly on evi-
dent success along those lines.
Following the meeting an in
formal dancing party was enjoyed
by a large number Of attendants
in the dancing hall adjoining the
theatre.
Another big night will be had
at the Lyric this evening, at which
Judge Martin Hughes, Of Hib-
bing, will address the meeting,
and at which County Commission
er McInnis will likely be an at
tendant and speak on the absorb
ing topic Of good roads and the
difficulties encountered by off,
cials in securing enough Of them
to satisfy the continued demand.

New York. May 6.-The taking Of
testimony in the federal suit to dis
solve the United States Steel corpora
ton was commenced today and prob
ably will continue two months. The
hearings also will be held in other
cities. It will probably be a year be-
fore the United States circuit court

filed, will take up the evidence for
judicial consideration. The hearing
today before Henry T. Brown. the
examiner appointed by the circuit
court. was the first to be held in the
suit which the government brought
under the Sherman antitrust law.
The government asks that the various
combinations be decreed to be un-
lawful and that all acts done in Gre
ating them be held in violation of
the Sherman act. Not only is the
steel corporation made defendant but
many of its subsidiaries and promi-
nent individuals are named as de-
PENDANTS in the suit. J. Pierpont

and Daniel Reid are among the de-
PENDANTS named.

CONGRESS MAY
RECESS IN JUNE
Senate Leaders on Both
Sides Believe this Will
be the Plan.

Washington. May 6.-Politics is
absorbing the attention of congress.
Much of the discussion in both houses
Is being aimed at the coming cam
paign and the congestion Of business
In the senate is largely attributable
to that cause.
All the house tariff legislation. a
formidable list of appropriation bills
already. the case of Senator Lorimer,
legislation for the administrative ma
chinery Of the Panama canal. and a
to be acted upon by the senate.
The leaders of both sides concede
the possibility of a recess over the
national conventions in June. and a
resumption of the sessions then to
wind up the important legislation.
So far there has been no definite
attempt at an understanding as to
an adjournment or a recess. for a
number of senators still believe that
the calendars may be cleared quickly
IN an emergency and in time for ad-
tournment in the first fortnight of
June.
The fight on the workmen's COM
pensation bill probably will end to-
morrow afternoon with conditions
presaging passage of the measure in
the senate. Several days of filibuster
against 1t led by few democratic
senator's are understood to have been
calculated. designed with the possi-
bility Of bringing about the defeat
Of the bill in the house.

been temporarily delayed by the
