contributing causes for this decrease, but
the lodge members are satisfied that the

ovERsEER sHEpARD's STATEMENT
Says Much of Charge of Niggardliness Is
Either Unfounded or Misleading.

| In regard to the report of proceedings
at county court yesterday. purporting
to accuse the city administration OF Mig
gardliness in supporting the poor, Over
seer w. F. Shepard said this morning
that some of the accusation was either
absolutely false and unfounded or alto
gether misleading. With special refer
ence to the Granai case. the overseer
declared that the family had received
twenty pairs of shoes from one store
alone during the past year. and that
more footgear had been forthcomin /,
from other stores. Mr.. Shepard stated
that the original allowance of S23 for
the Granai family had been cut down
somewhat and added that at one time
the family refused a check for SIS from
him.
Il has been said that many of the
families ostensibly dependent upon the
city for support have attempted TO de-
ceive the city officials. According 10
stories current on the streets. some peo-
pie have spplied for assistance. received
orders on different stores for goods and
then proceeded to sell the merchandise
purchased at the eity's instance. One
business man said this morning that
some of the persons who are wont TO
receive assistance from the city have
been detected in such sharp practices.
Overseer Shepard asserts that he has
been in constant communication with
the charity committee of the city coun-
ell and that the actions Of the poor de-
partment are open for any investiga- 1
tion.

the turnstiles at Fenway park in the
early afternoon. The playing of the
game in Boston to-day instead of to-
morrow, made it impossible for hundreds

times, and very shortsightedly. too, a
poor substitute for genuine common
counsel. No group of directors, eco
nonic or political, can speak for a

ficulty is not that wicked and design

by too private an initiative our task
now is to effect a great readJustment
and get the forces of the whole peo-
pie once more into play. we need no
revolution; We need no excited
change: we need only a new point OF
view and a new method and spirit or
counsel.
The Tariff Question.
1.-The tariff question, as dealt with in
our time at any rate, has not been
business It has been politics. Tariff
schedules have been made up for the
purpose of keeping as large number
as possible of the rich an influential
manufacturers of the country in a
good humor with the Republican par
ty which desired their constant f1nan-
cia1 support. The tariff has become a
system of favors, which the phrase
OlOSX OIL IT1G SCn9QuIS WAS Ditch uelIO-
eratcly contrived to conceal. Who.
when you come down to the hard
facts of the matter, have been repre-
sented in recent years when our tariff
schedules were being discussed and
determined, not on the floor of con-
gress for that is not where they have
been determined, but in the committee
rooms and conferences? That is the
heart of the whole affair. Will you,
can you, bring the whole people into
the partnership or not
eve do not ignore the fact that the
business of a country like ours is ex-
ceedingly sensitive to changes in leg
islation of this kind. 1t has been built
up, however, ill advisedly, upon tariff
written in the way I have
and it's foundations must not
be too radically or too suddenly dis
turbed. When we act we should act
with caution and prudence, like men
who know what they are about, and
not like those in love with a theory.

less it's people are given the ease and
effectiveness that come only with
knowledge and training. Education is
part of the great task of conservation,
part of the task of renewal and of per-
fected power.
"A presidential campaign may easily
degenerate into a mere personal contest
and so lose its real dignity and Signifi-
canoe. There is no indispensable man.
The government will not collapse and go
to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who
are seeking to be entrusted with its guild
ance should be left at home. But men arc
instruments. We as important as tina
cause we represent, and in order to be
important must really represent a cause.
What is our cause? The peoples cause?
That is easy to say, but what does 1t
mean? The common as against any par
ticular interest whatever? Yes, but that,
too. needs translation into acts AMI
policies. We represent the desire to set
up an unentangled government, gov
eminent that cannot be used for private
purposes, either in the field of business CT
in the field of politics; a government that
will not tolerate the use of the organiza-
ton of a great party to serve the per-
sonal aims and ambitions of any individ-
ual, and that will not permit legislation
to be employed to further any private in

on. 1T requires self restraint not to
attempt too much, and yet it would
be cowardly to attempt too little. In
the broad light of this new day we
stand face to face-with what? Plain
ly, not with questions of party, not
with a contest for office, not with a
petty struggle for advantage. With
great questions of right and of justice,
rather-questions of national develop
ment, of the development of charac-
ter and of standards of action no less
than of a better business system. The
forces of the nation are asserting
themselves against every form of spe-
cial privilege and private control and
are seeking bigger things than they
have ever heretofore achieved.
Two Great Things to Do.
There are two great things to do.
|One is to set up the rule of Justice
and of right in such matters as the
tariff, the regulation of the trusts and
the prevention of monopoly, the adap-
tation of our banking and currency
laws to the very uses to which our
people must put them, the treatment
of those who do the daily labor in our
factories and mines and throughout all
our great industrial and commercial
undertakings, and the political life of
the people of the Philippines, for whom
we hold government power in trust, for
their service, not our own. The other,
the additional duty is the great task
of protecting our people and our re-
sources and Of keeping open to the
whole people the doors of, opportunity
through which they must, generation
by generation, pass if they are to make
conquest of their fortunes in health, in
freedom, in peace, and in cohtentment.'
In the performance of this second great
duty we are face to face with ques-
tions of conservation and of develop
ment, questions of forests and water
powers and mines and waterways, of
the building of an adequate merchant
marine.
I'VE have got into trouble in recent
years chiefly because these large
things, ought to have been handled by
taking counsel with as large num-
Der of persons as possible, because they
touch every interest and the life of
every class and region, have in fact
been too often handled in private con-
ference. They have been settled BY
