FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL II, 1913
THE EXPECTED TARIFF LEGISLA-
TION.

The 63rd Congress assembled IN
extra session on Monday last, in re-
spouse to the call of the President.
The particular purpose for which
this extraordinary session was called
is to revise the tariff, In accordance
with the views expressed by the DEM
ocratic platform, adopted at the Ma
tional Convention held In Baltimore.
As all the branches of the Federal
Government are now in the hands Of
the Democratic party, 1t Is not thought
that 1t will be difficult to enact tariff
law, in accordance with Democratic
ideas and in fu1filment OF Democratic
pledges. This will mean marked
downward change in the schedules
and will give 10 the country the low
eft tarlff rates that 1t has had since
the tariff of 1sl6.
We predict great prosperity to the
country under this new tariff. Under
its operation the Trusts and Monopo-
lies may not have such a period Of
moneymaking IS was accorded them
under the former protective tariff.
and consequently their prosperity
will be abated. But the genuine pros
perity of the masses of the people viii
be secured. They will be given
chance such as they have not had for
many years. and this Is the kind Of
prosperity for which the Democratic
party has been contending through
out all its history.
We want a tariff law that VIII

MORGAN ON CHARACTER.

In the many tributes which are be-
ing paid to the great financier there
are exalted estimates OF his money
getting ability and ahrewdness which
may or may not be entirely correct,
but attention is invited to the truth
again illustrated that the one thing
worth having is character.
Mr.. Morgan himself, in his testi-
mony before the Pujo committee,
most emphatically declared the su-
preme value of character in a manner
which threw what, to many. was a
surprising side light upon his own
character. The control OF credit was
under discussion. He positively re-
fused to agree that control Of credit
involved a control of money. He
pointed out that this could not be so
because credit depended upon char
acter and on the proper collateral.
He declared that 1t often happened
that man with character could get
credit when a man with only prop
erty could not This Is true but not
In the proper sense. Few men OF
wide business experience would fail
to confirm that observation from their
own knowledge. Character, the man
ner of doing business. is the supreme
test even In the world of business
where only money and substantial
forms Of wealth are supposed to
talk"
A great financlef emphasized these
observations by declaring that "a
man he did not trust could nos get
money from him on ali the bonds In
ehrstendom." This. he said, vas his
rule of business.
Some may smile n this, especially
the man without collateral. character
Or no character. who has had the ex-
perlenee Of finding II very hard 10
get money when badly needed. and
others vii say that the career Of the
late banker was not based on loan
ing money or credit on anything but
good hard realty or gilt edge bonds.
and many a money lender may say
that Mr.. Morgan wa only talking for
effect, and that while he seemed to
make 50 much Of character he always
made sure of his securities just AZ

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

II Is not at this time definitely
known how the Senatorial Primary
will be conducted in this State. IN
der the Maryland law. h II nov
stands. campaign is being conduct
ed by certain aspirants for The United
States senatorahip. This law pro
yideg that the legislature shall elect
the United States Senator. and that
the result of the primary Is simply
instruction To the members c! the
legislature for whom to vote.
Now comes along an amendment 10
the Constitution of the United States.
legally adopted by sufficient number
of states directing that United States
Senators shall be elected by a direct
vote of the people, and not by the
legislature. This amendment lacks
but one vote at this time and that Will
be secured So that this amendment
will be the supreme Law. and will do
away with our statute.
II the primary Is TO be held during
the present year It will be necessary
for the Governor to call an extra SEES
sion of our legislature to provide the
necessary machinery for conducting
1t. Otherwise It would 90 over to the
regular session of 1914. This would
be time enough to provide for the
successor to Senator Smith. but not
for that OF Senator Jackson.
So that we are just nov in state
of some confusion about It. which It
will take little time to clear away.

UNsCENTED BOUQUETS FOR TIE

WAY,

Among the many uncompilmentary
things which have been appearing IN
the press concerning the manage
ment and service of the Western
Maryland Railway we find the follow
Ing clippings from newspapers pub
lished last Friday:
From the Carroll Hecord--"Ap-
parently, the morning connection from
Baltimore Is not to be depended on.
although there Is a margin Of five
minutes between the schedule OF the
arrival OF the ". NJ. train. and the
leaving OF the n c. H. train at Key
mar. The W. n. Is so often behind
time that scheduled margin OF five
minutes is very uncertain thing 10

From the Emmitsburg Chronicle
1T happened on Saturday this time
the weekly wreck on the ". N. Worst
Managed, Etc r. R., and only two
employees were killed, and two pas
sengers and two other employees In
jured. Bidwell. Pa. was the place Sc
leeted. and instead of rear-end mix
up the programme seemed to call for
head-on collision. At least that's
what 1t was. The Wednesday night
freight collapse and high dive
speciality near Monocacy Bridge added
another innovation to the extensive
repertoire of this versatile company:
but there is absolutely nothing In the
rumor that these weekly wrecks are
being pulled OF at the instance of a
moving picture concern"
From the American sentinel-"An-
other freight train wreck occurred on
the Western Maryland Railway on
Wednesday. The scene Of It was the
bridge over the Monocacy river. The
engine tender and a car crossed the
bridge safely then the cars IN the rear
OF them were derailed and cut the
crosaties to pieces, badly damaged the
bridge and, to the number of or 3
were piled up IN wrecked condition.
The train due here from Baltimore at
5.33 p. M, was sent around by way
OF Hanover and Gettysburg. Are the
many wrecks on this road the result
