Washington, Aug. 14-The house
today repassed the vetoed steel and
iron tariff bill within two hours after
1t was returned from the White House
with the presidents veto message.
The vote was 173 to SO, a margin of
only two votes over the necessary two
thirds.
The senate at the same time was
engaged in passing the Democratic
cotton tariff bill sent by the house.
La Follette's substitute, representing
the view Of the tariff board, was
voted down. La Toilette and eight
other Progressives joined the Demo
Gratis and passed the house bill, 36 to
10. An amendment was attached re-
pealing all but the pulp paper section
Of the Canadian reciprocity law.
The repassed steel bill was sent inn
mediately to the senate. Tonight it
reposed with the wool bill passed yes
terday, among the papers technically
on the desk of the president of the
senate. Both measures will be called
up Friday by Senator Simmons and an
attempt made to repass them, but the
Democrats have little hope of obtain
ing the necessary two-thirds.
In a message to congress vetoing
the steel bill, the president said he
disapproved the measure because it
provided for revenue only and took no
account of protection for American in
dustries. He condemned the ways and
means committee for refusing public
hearings on the bill. His veto was
expected.
President Taft gave as another
reason for his veto that the bill affect
ed not only the iron and steel industry,
but fifty mine allied industries were
worthy Of classification.
Mr.. Taft wrote that he was not pre-
pared to say that there were no items
which might not well be reduced but
he pointed out that its ad valorem rate
of duty was an apparent reduction of
fifteen per cent from the duties of the
Wilson law.
The president has said he also will
veto the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill carrying
orders to abolish the commerce court
and limit tenu. e Of Office of civil SER
vice employees to seven years. BY do
ing so the president would hold UP his
own salary, that of every member of
congress and every employe OF the
United States courts. Speculation Of
the possibilities of passing the bill
over his veto are being discussed and
leaders are canvassing the house and
senate.

New York, August 14.-Even more
than the individuals charged with the
murder Of Herman Rosenthal, the po-
lice department OF New York City Is
now on trial. District Attorney Whit
man feels that it is important that the
men who killed Rosenthal be appre-
hended and sent to the electric chair,
but that it is even more important
that the grave charges made against
the New York police force be investi-
gated. IF half the charges made are
true condition exists which threat
ems the very peace and safety of the
city.

follow. Before the end is reached, it
is believed the police force will have
been so badly discredited that an en-
tire overturning of the present sys-
tenn will be imperative.
Already there is a strong move
ment on foot to secure a legislative
enactment which shall make the police
force Of this city answerable to state
rather than to local authorities. 1t is
pointed out that the city is hopelessly
in the grip of Tammany Hall, and that
SO long as Tammany rules no better
ment Of conditions in the police de-
partment may be expected.

FLEET CONSISTS OF TWENTY
OF THE BIG 5ATTLEShtPs

The Atlantic fleet consists of twenty
big battleships, some of which are the
modern dreadnaughts, and the an
nouncement OF their approaching visit
to Pensacola with the thousands OF
officers and blueJackets will be receiv-
ed with much pleasure by Pensa-
colians.
1t is expected that the visit to the
gulf ports will be principally to Pensa-
cola and Galveston, for the big ships
cannot enter the harbor of Mobile, and
but few Of them can go up to New
Orleans.
The following vessels comprise the
fleet:

thief thinks that making off with a
large sum of time is a mere peccadillo
to be wiped off the slate with an ex-r
cuse or two.
The other day I was waiting for a
friend in the doorway of one of the
large stores in the city near which L
live. A woman was standing near me
who had evidently been waiting for
someone a long time and was rather
impatient. Finally a young girl came
sauntering along as if she had all the
time in the world. The older woman
called her attention to the fact that
it was long past the time at which
she had promised to meet her. and the
young girl answered, "Oh, what time
is it? Am 1 very later" 1 did not
hear any more because they walked
away, but what I did hear showed that
the girl had not considered the keeping
of her appointment important enough
A young man told me a short time
ago that the only fault he had to find
with the young lady to whom he is
engaged is that she is never on time.
A while ago they were going to the
opera and as usual she was late in
getting to the meeting place Conse-
quently, they missed the first act, the
young man was out of sorts and
showed 1T, she resented his crossness
and before the evening was over she
was in tears and the pleasure of the
opera was spoiled for both of them.
This is but one example OF the sort of
thing that is continually happening.
Comic papers make a joke of this
fault on the part of women, but IL
has caused this man so much trouble
that he is really disturbed about it
and considers 1T a serious defect in
character.
My aunt told the other night of a
recent experience of hers. She has a
friend for whom she always has to
wait from Is minutes to half an hour,
and short time ago she waited a
whole hour, and then, as the friend
did not show up she went home with
out meeting her. Shortly afterwards
the friend called her up on the teIe-
phone and asked her why she did not
meet her. My aunt replied that she
had waited an hour and that that was
the last time she would ever make an
with her The conse-
quence is that friendship OF long
standing has been practically broken
up by this careless habit.
OF course, there are many times
when the breaking of an appointment
cannot be helped or when being late
for an appointment is unavoidable.

.DoEs GOD FIX DEATH-RATE?'

A broad-minded clergyman in his
tuberculosis Day sermon propounded
this question and reached a conclu-
sion decidedly negative. God does
not fix the death-rate." Who does
then? We all do.
Those theoIogians aid high death
rates who ignore the demonstrated
facts of preventable disease and seek
to perpetuate the medieval supersti-
ton that infections are the Almighty's
merited scourge. Laymen who flout
the scientific proof that tuberculosis
is durable and can be eliminated from
human experience, or who disparage
tuberculosis propaganda as of no per-
sona1 concern to them, help to cause
the death of a conSumptive every
three minutes in the United States.
Councils and legislatures which will
not appropriate funds sufficient for
the fight which health boards would
wage against the Great White Plague
are largely responsible for the death
of ten thousand a year, twenty-seven
deaths every day, in one city alone.
Those who disregard anti-spitting or
dinances and the like help to send
the death-rate upward. Housewives
whose culinary efforts produce dys-
peptics directly and drunkards indi-
rectly give far more impetus to the
upward trend of the death-rate than
most of US imagine. Vendors of pat
ent medicines and consumption cures
who fleece their victims until the lat
ter have passed far beyond the incip-
lent stage in which physicians could
have helped them-such nostrum-fak-
erS have q f1llI share of reSno0SibiIity
for the thousands on thousands of
deaths from tuberculosis throughout
the country. Those who draw profit
from feeding the poor on adulterated
food, riots and spots,'' and fowls dead
in storage several years back, have a
similar responsibility for high
death-rate.
A league for medical freedom" or
ganized to prevent the wise centrali-
cation and coordination of health ac-
tivities and to oppose the inspection of
schools and school children likewise
helps to keep the death-rate high
Those who Overwork women and chill
dren in factories have a heavy share
of responsibility for holding the
death-rate at a high level; so also
do those employers who require men
to work at dangerous trades under in
tolerable conditions, such as those
which in some trades hold the con-
sumption rate above 80 per cent.
House owners who provide dark, in
sanitary, pest-ridden tenements have
no little part in increasing the death |
rate. The Christian Scientists and
other faith ''healers'' who close their
eyes to the possibilities of material
