 The market was dull and easy from the middle Of the morning on and dis played no recupefative powers. At the same time bears were not aggres sive and made no attempt to put pressure on the market. Both sides appeared to be waiting on the ap- preaching ginners' figures from the census bureau. Late in the, morning rumors of failure in Vienna and of repulse of the Bulgarian forces by the Turks caused selling to increase moderately. At noon prices were 3 M10 points under yesterdays last quotations.

Tariff Commission for Canada,

Those Democratic congressman who
are seriously considering the aboli-
ton OF the tariff board-which they
call "the presidents board"-and the
creation in its place of little tariff
bureau subject to the direction Of the
ways and means committee. or Of It's
chairman, should be respectfully ad-
vised by their friends to profit by the
example of Canada
The finance minister of the Domin-
ion has prepared bill for the estab-
lishment of body of tariff experts to
assist the government in tariff making.
The board is given ample power by
the bill, and it is to hold hearings.
make investigations, compel testimony
If necessary-and sumbit its findings
to the minister of finance. The in
vestigations are to cover cost of pro-
duction, prices, wages, comparative ef-
ficiency, transportation-in short,
everything that bears or may bear on
protective duties in tariff bills.

VOTERS WILL PLACE BLAME
democratic Majority In Congress
Plainly Does Not Want Rational
Tariff Revision.

president Taft and the tari1 board
have sent to congress the result Of
investigations In the cotton and wool
schedules showing valid ground for
material reduction of duties in both
scnedules. The house has passed q
wool schedule with very little regard
TO the tariff boards report on that
topic. Its Democratic leaders now
give out that they will not pass any
cotton schedule until the steel. chem
ical and other schedules. which that
body has passed without any official
information as to the cost of produc-
ton. have been fully enacted.
II the house desired to secure rea-
sonaoie reductions of the tarin. 1t Is
tnus made plain that 1t could do SO
Win regard to the very important
items that furnish the clothing OF tho
nation by passing schedules on wool
and cotton in accordance with the au-
thority which the Republican side is
pledged to accept But II their tariff
policy is TO play politics" the course
OF driving through radical cuts which
the administration cannot be ex-
pected to accept, and holding back the
schedule on which the south is most
likely TO dissent, Is one that seems
quite probable to the political mind
1t Is well to have this issue drawn
clearly. The Democracy is at present
going through the motions OF tariff
slashing with no expectation of re-
suits. and absolutely rejecting oppor-
tunities to secure a rational revision
at this session. The administration
stands on the clearly defined platform
Of revision on the ascertained differ
ence In the cost of production at home
and abroad.

False Economy in Washington.

1t is believed in Washington that
the senate will SO far counteract the
tendencies OF the Democrats Of the
lower house to false economies that
two new batHeships may be yet laid
down this year. There is. Of course.
no great likelihood that there will be
any large appropriation for public
buildings. but 1t is unfortunately prob
able that the huge additional expendi-
ture for pensions will not be checked.
Eagerness for votes will control the
action Of the members Of both parties
in this matter.
The building up Of modern navy,
however. should not be retarded to off
set extravagant appropriations for the
sake of vote getting. We should set
apart money for at least two new bat
tleships a year and 1t Is not conceiva-
BILE that any false economical argu
ments can prevail in the end to defeat
that purpose.

HAVE REAL CAUSE FOR GLOOM
Democratic Senators Likely to. Be Put
In a Hole by Their Colleagues
In the House.

There is no small amount OF gloom
on the Democratic side Of the senate
as a result of the action OF the house
caucus in prohibiting the authoriza-
ton Of any battleships this year. The
Democratic senators have awakened
to the fact that this policy is decided
ly unpopular. Many Of the newspa-
pers on which they count for unvary-
ing support are heartily condemning
as short-sighted and unpatrfctic the
action of the house Democrats. The
senators believe 1t may be possible
for the Democrats In the house. with
their large majority, to escape a roll
call on the proposition-although there
are some Republicans who are deter
mined they shall not-but they real
ize that it will be almost impossible
to escape a roll call in the senate. II
1t proves to be impossible, the Demo-
cratic senators will be confronted
with the problem Of whether it is bet
ter again to exhibit their difference
from their colleagues in the house,
thus emphasizing the unworthy parti-
san methods which are actuating the
party in the lower body, as they did
in the case of the Sherwood pension
bill, or whether they must incur the
criticism OF their constituents and
their newspaper supporters who dis
approve such methods.

Completing the Canal.

Only one-sixth of the excavation
necessary to open the Panama canal to
navigation remained, on March /, to
be done. This gives an idea of how
fast the work is nearing completion.
But it does not make the situation ex-
actly clear. The worst part of the ex-
cavation has been done. as well as
its greater part. From now on. the
news will be that this or that part of
the work is finished Visitors this year
have been able to Judge what a gigan-
tic piece of labor has been performed
there. Visitors next year will be able
to see what the canal will really be
like. And there is no reason to doubt
that 1915 will see battleships and 9TH
er ships passing through Ibis new
strait between the oceans.

AMERICAN POSITION is PLAIN
Both Mexico and Japan Must Under
stand the Situation as to
Magdalena Bay.

When Senator Lodge. speaking In
the senate on the peace treaties. gave
warning that Japan had been and
was still active in efforts to secure
the Incompatible Magdalena bay as a
naval base of some kind, he sounded
note of warning that was not un-
needed by the American state depart
men, and that was well understood
both at Tokyo and the City Of Mex
leo. The United States could not af-
ford to have Japan in a preferred rela-
ton to the coveted Pacific harbor, the
only purpose OF which would be to
afford the Oriental power a position
OF strategic advantage In any contest
with the Americans. The United
States will not permit any form of
concession Of this herbor to the coun-
try whose hold upon it could be open
to but one construction. The United
States, in fact, could not consent to
see Magdalena harbor given over to
any foreign power. Nor could the
other republics to the south afford
to have this point Of war strategy in
the hands of any country ambitious
for conquests or acquisitions among
the Latin-American group of coun-
tries. The state department having
given out the facts of the situation
with regard to Magdalena harbor, the
government is justified in making rep
reservations in suitable form to both
Mexico and Japan that no compact,
either official or under the guise of
private concession. can be allowed
to go unchallenged

Wouldn't Exhaust His Stock.

Tom Kicker kept country store in
Shapleigh, Me, years ago. He was
constitutionally tired: hated to move
unless it was absolutely necessary.

head tilted back against pile Of grain
bags, customer came in.
II want a package of washing soda,

Haven't any," the proprietor drawled.
as he stretched his arms and rubbed
his eyes.
The customer looked along the top
shelf where he had generally kept his
washing soda packages.
"Why, yes you have, Thomas. see
. package OF soda up there on the top
shelf" said she.
The trader yawned again, and. still
holding down his comfortable seat. re-
piled:
Eyes. know they's one package
there, but it's the last I've got in
stock, and, yer see, l don't want ter
