MINORITY REPORT ON WOOL.
Republicans Invite Democrats to Help
Revise Downward.

Washington, ID. c., March 2S.-Invit.
ing the Democrats of the House to Join
them in passing the Republican wool
bill and male radical reduction now
instead of preventing a reduction" the
Republican members OF the ways and
means committee yesterday submitted
a report on the minority bill, introduced
last week, which would reduce the wool
duties about 40 per cent. from the rates
under the Payne-Aldrich bill
The report submitted by Representa-
tive Payne was signed by all the Re-
publican members of the committe. Rep.
rcsentatives Payne, Dalzcll, Mccall,
Necdbam, Longworth and Fordney.
"The very able and complete report
of the tariff board on wool was present.
ed to the House on the 2lst of DeceIn-
Der last" says the minority report.
"The majority members of the COM
mittee have had it now for three months.
Upon the facts in the report, il seems
they are not able to make any changes
in their wool bill heretofore introduced.
TIey have apparently settled down upon
conviction that no amount of infor-
nation is of any avail in the formation
OF Democratic tariff bill for revenue
only"
The minority members declare that
tEey have framed and introduced a wool
bill, based upon the tariff boards re-
rort and have endeavored to adjust the
rates in accordance with the doctrine
81 protection by prescribing duty
equivalent to the difference in tie cost
of production at home and abroad as
found by the board.
"In fixing the rate of duty upon wool,
says the report. eve have adopted the
system of a. specific duty per pound upon
tho clean content of the woods. The tar
if boards report shows in the most
conclusive way that an advalorem rate
on wool should not be adopted. The
argument in brief, if the basic idea Of
tire duty on woods is to give the domes-
tis grower permanent protection, is that
it should remain as uniformly effective
as possible under all changes of foreign

suit has exactly and precisely justified
what | then said. And, mind you, al
that time the extreme reaetionaries and
the self-styled~ extreme radicals Joined
hands TO prevent tine getting Of tho
legislation that ! asked. The Senate
committee unanimously voted against
making any changes in the antitrust
law The nominal radicals Of the kind
that are at this moment most frantic
in their denunciation of the trusts took
the same position that was taken by the
reactionaries; for the frantic extremists
wished to pose as the irreconcilable en-.
emies OF all trusts, and the reaetionaries
and standpatters knew that my proposal
did really propose an effective device Ia
regulate big business, and did really con
tain menace to every law breaking
trust. and lid really hold out hope for
the people, whereas. the violent extrem-
lists brighten the trusts hardly at all,
but do brighten honest business men.
"The antitrust law caused great
many honest business men at present
grave concern, and it especially causes
concern to honest retail men and men
of small means who try to Join together
to protect themselves against big trusts.
But it does not frighten the big trusts
They see what has happened TO the to-
bacco trust and the STANDARD Oil trust
They know that these trusts have been
given immunity baths, and are stronger
than they ever were before. The anti.
trust law should not only be kept on the
statute books but should be strengthened
and made more effective against trusts

real good. the greatest good, will have
to come through totally different legisla
ton modelled in part upon that which

our national banks and in connection

Ohio for wife to arise in the night
and feel through the trouser pockets
Of her husband for the elusive coin

supreme court said so yesterday in

Joined more than $500 belonging to
her husband, a saloonkeeper.
The language of the court, expressed
in the syllabus, in which all the
justices concur, is:

er husband nor wife can be prosecuted
for larceny of the goods of the other
is not abrogated 10y general code sec
tion 7995-S00l, defining rights and
liabilities of husband and wife nor by

ture to abolish an established rule of
the common law and to create crime
where none existed before must clearly
and unmistakably appear"

And the Question of Prolonging Life TO

Even the lengthcning of mans life

of redressing an injustice. of healing n
breach OF friendship the memory OF

saying farewell to n son or daughter
who had come In haste from a great
distance. Any one, who has seen death
beds knows how anxieties OF this sort
may darken the last hours and how
their removal may reconcile the suffer
er to death. II seems TO us that this
talk OF the right to die and the wrong
doing of doctors In seeking to prolong
life that Is hanging by n thread
springs from the unwholesome senti-
mentalism aud the inevitable accom-
paniment OF selfishness which are
among the unhappy notes of the pres
ent time.
To the older writers the death agony
was the dnal struggle of the soul leav-
ing the body. and by confusion OF
thought due to the acquired meaning

ROMANCE OF A SHOVEL.
An Ides That Won q Fortune For a
Railway Laborer.


The simplest labor saving device moy
quite possibly be worth fortune. OGe
day good many years ago u number
Of men were at work on the roadhed
of a line of railway in course of
construction between Birminghl N
and Manchester. They were cutting
through a hill and moving the material
by loosening It with picks. shoveiIg
it into barrows and wheeling 1t away.
The shovels they were using were
known as Irish shovels. with square
cornered blade about fifteen inches
long. The work progressed but slow
ly, and the subcontractor i'm charge re-
buked his workmen for not making
quicker progress. One Of them replied
that if he would grind off the corners
"f the shovels it would be easier to get
them into the earth. and, consequently.
they would be able to work more
quickly.
The contractor ridiculed the idea.
which he considered piece of inso-
lence on the part of the workman. but
the navy was quite in earnest and not
easily discouraged. When the work
was completed he discussed the mat
ter with n friend of his at Sheffield.
who persuaded an ironmonger he knew
to make a dozen or so as an expert
ment. The tools were offered to
large contractor. who promised to let
some of his men use the new shovels
and report results.
About week afterward the con
tractor returned with the information
that his men were fairly quarrellng as
to who should use the new tools, some
arriving to work Il quarter of an hour
before time In order to be there first
when the tool box was opened The
navvy's suggestion had proved Il good
one. A patent was secured and an
agreement made between the navy.
the manufacturer and the contractor
When the navy died he left fortune
OF over f65.000, the proceeds from roy
alties on the manufacture of shovels
under his patent.-Pearson's Weekly.

Democrat Harmony.

John J. Lentz, president, and w. w
Durbln, secretary of the Democrat
Progressive League of Ohio last week
issued a pamphlet in which they say
everything but nice things Of Gov.
Harmon. This document shows an
entire absence of peace and good will
in the ranks OF the Dem)cr party.
To add to the general feeling already
prevalent Col. Bryan continues to try
each week through the. columns of
the Comn To array his following
against Gov. Harmon.
But Gov. Harmon is not the only
Democrat, who finds that seeking the
presidential nomination. is not alto
gether a pleasant and enjoyable past
time. Gov. Woodrow Wilson is also
having his troubles Col Harvey, Of
IIarper's Weekly, the original Wilson
boomer, thinks he has been badly
treated and takes hard slap at Will
son In an article, in which he states
that Wilson asked Harper's Weekly to
quit urging his candidacy as he thought
1t was hurting him. This makes viii.
son appear as an migrate and If there
Is any worse brand to place on a man
we do not know what IL can be. Col.
Watterson, the able and distinguished
editor of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, in an editorial written only aS
Watterson can write, takes fall out
Of Wilson on account Of this and says
that IL seems Gov. Wilson has been
misjudged and that he is rather a
'schoolmaster than a statesman"
II the start made in the first few
weeks Of the year is kept up there is
sure going to be something doing by
the time the Democrat National Con-
vention is held at Baltimore. There

wounds made by the vituperation,
