UNITED ON
THE TARIFF
As Shown This Week by Vote
in House of Substitute
Wool Bill.
PRESIDENT u, UPHELD
In His Action Of Having the
Tariff Board Created
by Congress.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 4
That the tariff is no longer a bone
of contention between the Republi-
can members of the House OF Rep
resentatiyes was made clear by the
vote on the wool bill. The crucial
test of Republicanism came on tho
motion of Representative Serene E.
Payne, of New York, to recommit
the, Democratic bill and substitute
the Republican wool revision bill
which was based absolutely on the
report of the tariff board which was
put into the Payne tariff law by
President Taft and his friends. It
will be recalled that the greatest
split in the Republican ranks in 1903,
occurred over the wool schedule
and It is remarkable fact that the
first tariff measure upon which the
Republicans we're again to show a
united front was the wool tariff
bill offered by the Republican minor
ity in the House. Thus, under the
leadership of President Taft the
party split on wool and has again
been united on the tariff on that
schedule by reason of the tarIrr
board asked for and appointed by
President Taft. t.
. An analysis OF the vote on the
motion TO substitute the Republican
wool bill is most interesting. Twenty
Republicans voted against the con-
ference report on the Payne tariff
bill in the House of Representatives
and eleven Of these twenty voted for
the Republican bill based on the
tariff board report, as follows:
Representatives Haugen, Hub.
bard and Kemball, of Iowa; Mann,
of illinois: Miller Nye, STEVENSON.
Stevens and volstead, of Minnesota;
Mudock of Kansas; and Nelson Of
Wisconsin. ~
Three Republicans who voted
against the Payne law were paired
with Democrats and would have
voted for the bill had they been
present. They were Cary, wiseon-i
sin; Davis, Minnesota; and Woods.
Iowa.
The only Republican not paired
who voted against the Payne bill and
who did not vote this week was Rep
resentative Lenroot. of Wisconsin.
The only Republican who voted
against both the Payne bill and the
substitute bill was Rep
Lindbergh, of Minnesota,
The only other Republican to vote
against the Republican substitute
bin was Representative Kent, OF
California, a warm supporter of Col
onel Roosevelt.
This accounts for sixteen OF the
original opponents of the Payne bill
on the vote this week. AS indicated
above four of the members who
voted against the Payne bill are no
longer members of the House. Three
OF them have Republican, success
ors. however. and one was succeeded
by a Democrat. Two OF the three

ECONOMY IS PLANNED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Saving Annually of Sill, 900,
900 Recommended in a
Special Message.

WASHINGTON, April 4.--Presideni
TAFT today sent to Congress his sec.
ond message OF the present year on
economy and efficiency in the gov
eminent service. He recommended
the passage OF legislation designed 10
save more than si1,o0O,OoO annually
10 the people Of the United States.
Probably his two most striking pro.
posals were that the local government
Offices IN the treasury. postoftice, JUS
lice, interior; and commerce and labor
departments, be placed In the classified
service and that the revenue cutter
service be consolidated with the ligh;
house service in the department OF
commerce and labor
BY the first change the president
said Congress could effect saving Of
at least s1O,oOO,OoO annually and al
though in this message he gave no
figures for the consolidation of the
two services OF the sea, in a previous
message on the same subject early in
the year, he predicted economies that
would total about 100000 yearly
The president concluded his mes
sage with an appeal to Congress to
appropriate the, 100000 necessary to
support the economy efficiency com
mission for another year with $4,000
additional for the publication Of the
commissions findings.
President Tafts principal recon-
mendations for economies were, as
follows:
Placing of pension agents in classI-
fled service; estimated saving $62. 900
annually.
Abolition of offices of receiver OF
district land offices and transfer OF
duties to register; assisted by bonded
clerk; estimated saving 100000 an
nually.
Transfer of political appointees' in
internal revenue and customs services
to classified service; estimate of saw
ing not given.
Consolidation OF lighthouse and life
saving services into bureau of light
houses; estimated saving 100000.
Transfer of vessels and equipment
of revenue cutter service from treas
ury to commerce and labor depart
ment and its abolition as separate
service, estimated in message on econ
omy January II, that saving woui1
be about $1,6OO,00O year.
Consolidation of auditing offices OF
the government under one auditory;
estimated saving 100000 annually.
Discontinuance of 1oileage allow
ances for government travel and q
per diem allowance for officers and
employees in place OF Subsistence"
which includes lodging for these
travelling; no estimate of saving
given.
Improved method of handling cor
respondence; estimate of saving not
given but predicted that labor can be
reduced fifty per cent.
Capitalization of the distribution Of
government documents; estimated
saving $242 900 a year.
Disturbance OF publication of tie
official register; estimated saving
$4,000 annually.
Directly and indirectly reads the
message, "the changes proposed will
result in the saving OF many mllliong
of dollars of public funds"

Frisco Man Has Apparatus
Called Love Machine.

Similar tests penetrate into the
most secret emotions A San Fran
cisco inventor has contrived an an
paratus which he calls the love
machine" Two persons of opposite
sex grasp the handles of a machine
which records involuntary move
ments of the nerves and muscles.
A dial shows the intensity of the
emotion measured. The inventor
thinks he has been able to dis
criminate the disturbance made in
the nervous system by the senti-
ment of love existing between tina
subjects of the experiment. If the
two persons are Indifferent to each
other. he says, the dial remains
motionless. The amount of motion
varies with the intensity of the
sentiment. But there are easier. if
less scientific. ways of discovering
whether people are in love.
Machines Of this kind are really
capable of great usefulness when
directed to proper ends and under
strictly scientific management The

ceivlng himself and others the bet

Invention of John Gray
Computes Brain Power.

One of the most surprising de-
velopments of this age of machin-
cry is the invention of a great va
riety of delicate mechanisms which
are capable of reading secrets that
escape the closest observation by
ordinary means. Take, for in
stance, a recent invention of John
Gray, the treasurer of the Royal
Anthropological institute in Eng
land. BY It's meansFhe claims that
he can discover the relative brain
power of human being. At least
he can find out how quickly the
brain acts-and quickness of ac-
ton is becoming more and more inn
portant in this age of hurry.
The apparatus, to whose tests
such men as Lord Avebury and
Sir William Crooles are said to
have submitted themselves is sim

throws out, in rapid succession,
two beams of light of contrasted

one color follows the other is meas

the colors begin to blend First
there is flicker and then a com
plete blending. in which both col

the mirror can be turned without

T OoK at yourself in mirror
and you viii be facing the
greatest mystery that you can
fnd-unless another person hap
pens to look over your shoulder
and projects his image beside yours.
You CAN see a little way into
your own nature if you study your
self with great diligence but the
eyes of your fellow men are like
the windows of a house that is all
dark within.
1t is wonder that no pessi-
mistic philosopher has ever defined
man as the ANIMAL THAT LIES.
1t is true that the cunning of the
fox is a kind of lying, but the fox's
receptions are perfectly transpar-
ent to his own kind. while mans
are often impenetrable even TO him
self.
We are such great mysteries to
ourselves that frequently we try to
get our fellow men to find the key
to our own characters. Does a fox
ever go to another fox to learn
what he is best fitted to do in
life? Well, men sometimes go TO
phrenologists and soothsayers to
find out what THEY were born to
do in the world. No self observ-
ant person is likely to do that, ex-
cept out of mere curiosity but self
observant persons are compare
lively rare.
How does the Character reader"
proceed? BY observing little
things. slight indications which es
cape the majority of men. 1t is not
the bumps on your head which re-
veal your character, but the look of
your eyes. the lines of your face,

rience and power of observation

Testing Human Qualities
Like Testing Engine.

The modern tendency to test hui
man qualities by mechanical means
is continually growing. 1t is some
what like testing an engine. It not
only aids in the selection of the
proper persons to do certain kinds
of work, but 1t is of use to the sur
geon and the doctor in dealing
with disease, and with the results
of accident.
One kind of instrument produces
photographs of heart beats, by the
careful inspection of which a doc
tor can sometimes detect the ex-
istence of lurking and dangerous
disease, which could not be discov-
cred by ordinary means.
In London, as have read, they
have. an instrument of this kind
which can be used to test the beat
ing of patients heart a hundred
miles or more away from the doc
tors office. The indications, mag
nifed by a mega phonic attachment,
are transmitted by telephone. This
was recently tried with success be-
tween a patient in the Isle of Wight
and physician in London.
We are getting a little deeper
into the springs of human nature
when we deal with the Munster.
berg machine for testing the emo
tions. This apparatus consists of
three machines combined-an au-
tomatograph, to detect involuntary
movements Of the arm; a pneu-
mograph. to record irregularities Of
breathing, and sphygmograph. to
take the pulse beats 1t is said that
a man can not prevaricate without
detection when one of these tell
tale machines is attached to him.
and he can not conceal his emo
tons however well he may govern
his features. One can imagine
such an instrument applied to
witness in the chair, with its in
dieations made visible to the jury
while he tells his story! It would
be fine deterrent against per-
Jury.
