SENSIBLE TARIFF ACTION.

1t is gratifying to know that the Democrats
in Congress favor some permanent tariff invest-
igating body even though they have been dis
posed to ignore the findings of the tariff board
appointed by President Taft
There have been numerous suggestions of
tariff commission, independent in authority.
whose business would be to gather information
as to the question of the tariff in general and the
working of any new schedule that might be pro-
posed, the aim of the body being to treat the
subject economically and give Congress scientific
caHy determined facts without regard for parti-
san policies.
The plan, says the Sacramento Union, which
seemed to be- full of promise, was defeated by
the forces that accomplished the passage of the
Payne-Aldrieh bill and the tariff board was re-
luctantly substituted with limited duties for
brief service However the president of his
own accord expanded its work and succeeded in
having it report definite recommendations for
revion of several of the present schedules
Now the Democrats revert to the permanent
commission idea They propose to attach the
bureau to the Department of Commerce and
Labor and hold it under obligation to make any
special Investigations which the President or
Congress may order.
Such a body will not be original with the
United States. The inspiration is similar
bureau that exists in Germany where, whenever
tariff schedule of any kind is proposed the tar
if experts called on to report on its economic
value Thus German tariff making is taken out
of politics and based scientific considerations
rather than on the trickery of partisanship.
The Democrats therefore, wise to return to
the first purpose and seek means whereby a
tariff may be levied on the right basis. If they
stand by this purpose. and if the tariff commits
sion be constituted of competent men, noteworthy
progress will have been made toward the sub
stitution of sense for grab
We doubt that it will ever be possible to take
the American tariff entirely out of politics but
whatever of improvement can be brought about
surely will be welcomed

THE NEED IN EDUCATION.

If ever there was an emphatic rebuke for
educators who persist in demanding that all
schools be planned with the view of the uni
versity ahead it is that contained in the annual
review of educational conditions in this country
by Dr. p p ClaXton United States Commissioner
of Education 1T is quite probable he says,
that less than half the children of the country
finish well more than the first six grades; only
about one-fourth of the children ever enter High
School less than eight in every one hundred do
the full four years Of High School work, and few
er than five in one hundred receive any eduea-
ton above the High School "
With these figures in mind educational au-
thorities may well give their earnest attention to
the children who must leave school early. Some
appreciate this need, but regret that many
who should be able to see it are obsessed with
the idea that every course of study must be in
preparation for the University
The many who cannot go to college should re-
ceve education that will fit them for business
and the shops; hence, the call for vocational
schools wherever it is possible to establish thew
The public should demand practical rather
than pedantic ideals in every school. Against
the persistency of those educators who would
make every grade merely step toward the uni
versity no stronger argument could be found
than that of the figures given by Dr. Oiaxton.

Cuba is threatened with another little re-
bellion. Negroes, who took part in the revolt
against Spain. think their claims for consider
alton and especially for government jobs, have
not met with due consideration, and dis
affected AS onethrd of the population of the
island is of African blood the coored voters
would hold the balance of power if they acted
in concert 1t is unlawful to form political
party on racial lines in Cuba, but that is one
of the laws that cannot be enforced in practice,
and merely creates friction. The negro element
claims that the whites have drawn the party
lines in that way, and have forced the colored
people to unite to protect their rights. Ameri-
cans have learned to dread the thought of inter
ference in such quarres. Certain interests in
Cuba and in some other Latin American coun-
tries think it would be to their material bene
fit if the United States took possession, and this
creates constant risk that such men will try to
get this country to pull their chestnuts out of the
fire by creating a situation that will call for
Intervention.

PIONEER NAVIGATOR
 GOES TO HIS REST

Captain James Carrul. one of the best known pioneers and nav gators, died recently in Seattle. His death removes one of the most picturesque characters of Alaska's carly days.
 Capt. Carrol was of Irish Dar- rntage and he was nearly 70 years old. The passing of Capt. "Jim- my Carrol brings io mind rccol- lcciionS of early-day Alaskan life, when he as commander of the llrst boals to run north in the eighties" wcanod his way into the hearts of all whom he met. Capt. Carol had free-easy, mattcr-of-fact way of adapting
Valdez daily prospector., 1912-05-27

himself to any circumstances, no matter what, and his death will cause a shock to a wide circle of friends.
 Capt. Carol first came to Alaska as master of the F. C.. steamer Idaho. He was comInan- dc, of tho Ancon, for years on the Cottage City and then the Queen. His last command was the cruising steamer Spokane. He retired from service five years ago, when he was given the po- sitiOn as port captain at Seattle for the Pacific Coast Steamship company.
 Capt. Garrol first gained fame when he went to Washington as a delegate from the first tcrritor- ial nOn-partisan convention. to seek legislation for Alaska. When congress turned him down Carol told the house committee on ter ritorics that he could raise Sf5,- OOO,000, double the amount that Alaska cost the government, if the government would sell the country. This action Carol knew would be unconstitutional, but it made congress sit up and take notice, and out of it grew a per sonal investigation of this coun- try by a junketing committee of c"ngressmcn. Capt. Carol had an inimitablc personality. He was a man that made many friends. and knew how to retain good friendship.
