moved one of his tonsils. The operation
was entirely successful
This is the first time Chief Croker has
been i'll for twenty-five years although his
throat has troubled him al times. The doc

smoke at fires aggravated the swelling OF
the tonsils and assisted in bringing about
their recent infamed condition.

THE TARIFF ISSUE.
From The Charlottesville UndD Journal
(Rep.).
One issue President Taft has made pecul-
iarly his own. and tnat is the tariff. The last
thing the lamented Mckinley did before the
assassin's bullet cut him down was TO declare
in his Buffalo speech for revision OF the tariff
downward on the protection principle. From
that day until President Taft called Congress
in special session Immediately after his in
auguration nothing done with the tariff.
Taft tackled this important and politically
dangerous question with characteristic cour-
age. he signed an imperfect bill not on ac-
count OF Its imperfections but in spite OF
them because II was the best that could be
done AT that time, but principally because
Of the fact that II gave him an opportunity
to appoint Tariff Board and thus pave the
way for scientific adjustment Of tariff rates
