 Of the criticism called forth by your ac- ton on the wool and wooIen tariff, com

 vetoing the first bill which offered you a substantial one?" "CertainlysI hear them, but they make me wonder how their authors can be-

 1t was with few blows of the ax and

 measuring instruments and adjusted with
 fine tools as it ought to have been?
 Reason for Not Signing T frankly said that l was Unwilling | to sign such a bill on insufficient knowl- edge when by waiting few months we should have before us all the material | gathered by the tariff board, and could proceed with our eyes open They de- clared that it was almost crime to wait
 for the report of the tariff board, for here was winter coming on, and the people would soon be shivering with cold, but un- able to buy warm clothes because they cost so much under the onerous duties
 of schedule K; yet here l was standing heartlessly, all alone, in the way of a reduction in price, etc., etc.
 What happened? The tariff board | brought in it's report, which l sent to | Congress at once, that they could get | to work on wool and wooen bill. Up to | date this has not been forthcoming. They | have switched their attention to another | schedule, and brought in a bill to reduce | the steel tariff, in which the. Payne act | had already made some radical cuts. As | far as 1 can learn this has been most widely exploited as a blow aimed at the United States Steel corporation. If such
 was its purpose, it must have fallen far short of the mark.

Get Rid of the Stumps.

. D
This is particularly the season to
get out the stumps. There are whole
lot OF ways of doing this very impor-
tant job. The usefulness of dyna-
mite and of the stump puller has been
many times demonstrated; burning
seems to give good results in some
cases. In short, If man is really in
earnest about getting rid OF his
stumps, he can find way to do 1t. 1t
VIII cost him something, to be sure,
any way he goes at 1t; but 1t will be
decidedly profitable work for all that.
Does any man suppose that it doesn't
cost him anything to dodge about
stumps as he breaks and cultivates his
land, to be compelled to use crude
implements instead of improved ones.
to repair the brcakage and make up
the loss of wear and tear caused by
the stumps, to get rid of the weeds
which grow about them to seed the
rest of the field. to lose the use of the
land they occupy? Clearing out the
stumps may not add to the actual fer
tility of the field, but it will increase
its cultivable arear, and enable ii to
grow larger crops.-The Progressive
