Valuable Find Came Too Late.

The irony of fate was exemplified
at Manhattan, Cal, recently After
working necessarily and alone for
two years in a mine in which none
but he had faith, a. man named Hub
ley was killed by cave of rocks and
debris, estimated as weighing forty
tons. The same fall of earth that
crushed out This life uncovered the
very ore body he had been seeking
with such logged persistence. The
ore is some of the richest ever discov-
cred in the district.

CONGRESS GETS
WILSON MESSAGE
Bret Document Tells Purpose of
Extra Session.
MUST ALTER TARIFF DUTIES
Lawmakers Asked to Square the
Schedules With the Actual
Facts of Industrial and
Commercial Life,

Washington, April s. = President
wilson's message, read today to the
senate and house at the beginning of
the extra session, was a brief. point.
ed document setting forth in general
terms what congress is expected to do
IN the matter of tariff revision. The
message was as follows:
To the Senate and House of ReDre-
sentatives:
| have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon the party now in
power at the recent elections which it
ought to perform promptly, in order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and in order. also,
that the business interests of the
country may not be kept too long in
suspense as to what the fiscal changes
are to be to which they will be re-
CURED to adjust themselves. 1t is clear
to the whole country that the tariff
duties must be altered. They must
be changed to meet the radical altera-
ton in the conditions of our economic
life which the country has witnessed
within the last generation.
While the whole face and method Of
our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni-
ton the tariff schedules have re-
manned what they were before the
change began, or have moved in the
direction they were given when no
large circumstance of our Industrial
development was what it is today.
Our task is to square them with the
actual facts. The sooner that is done
the sooner we shall escape from suf-
fering from the facts and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature (the ma
turs of free business) instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial ar
rangement.

Business Not Normal.

We have seen tariff legislation
very far indeed from the field in which
our prosperity might have had nor
NAL growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies be-
meath the surface of action can fail to
perceive the principles upon which
recent tariff legislation has been
based. We long ago passed beyond
the modest notion of protecting the
industries Of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea that they
were entitled to the direct patronage
Of the government. For a long time
time so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded tive have
sought in our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro-
ducers what they themselves thought
that they needed in order to
maintain practically exclusive
market as against the rest of the
world Consciously or unconsciously,
we have built up set of privileges
and exemptions from competition be-
hind which it was easy by any, even
the crudest, forms of combination to
organize monopoly; until at last moth
ing is normal, nothing is Obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and econ
omy, in our world Of big business, but
everything thrives by concerted ar
rangement. Only new principles of
action will save us from a final hard
crystallization of monopoly and
complete loss of the influences that
quicken enterprise and keep indie
pendent energy alive.
1t is plain what those principles
must be. We must abolish everything
that bears even the semblance of priv
| ilege or of any kind of artificial adj
vantage, and put our business men
and producers under the stimulation
of a constant necessity to be efficient,
economical and enterprising, masters
of competitive supremacy, better
workers and merchants than any IN
the world. Aside from the duties laid
upon articles which we do not, and
probably cannot, produce, therefore,
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
thev Weld. the object of the tariff du-
! ties henceforth laid must be effective
competition, the whetting of Amerl-
can wits by contest with the wits OF
the rest of the world.
Development, Not Revolution.
1t would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless
haste. or with strokes that cut at the
very roots of what has grown up
amongst us by long process and at
our own invitation. 1t does not alter
q thing to upset it and break 1t ana

in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system,
whose object is development, more

must build up trade, especially for

the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up industry as we'll and must

WHY WORRY:

WHY are the authorities of New
York state worrying over Harry
Thaw? According To the decision nj
properly constituted court Thaw Is
not guilty of any crime. He was de-
clared not guilty on the ground that AZ
the time wfler. his act was committed
he was insane. According to the state
ments of alienists whose opinion is
entitled to more or less respect, he has
been insane ever since. and is insane
now.
That he has not been held during
these wears as IL criminal, but as a
dangerous lunatic. Theoretically hc
has been kept in confinement in order
that his mania might not lead to am
other killing, ut To some other des-
perate act, Burning at large he would
be a menace to the peace nf the state
of New York. Now he is out Of this
state. If he should he returned t.
that state it would undoubtedly he
the duty nf the authorities to take
care of him. ordinarily there is no
special anxiety on the part of state
authorities for the return of insane pa
tients. The authorities receive such
persons and are for them because it
is necessary, but they do not usually
go out of their way to get them.
Thaw is now in Canada. If the peo-
pie of the province of Quebec are sat
isfed to have him remain there, sure
ly New York is we'll rid of him.
The fact is that nobody believes that
Ehaw was ever insane. in the sense in
which that word is commonly under
stood. There is every reason to be
We've tina; he was fully conscious of
The character of his act when he COM
mitted it, and that his act was as de
liberate a murder as is ever commit
ted. Because of the f~arcioal charaC-
ter of some of our laws and customs
his acquittal or the fiction of insanity
was possible. and because the facts
were not squarely faced the state Of
New York has been put to enormous
expense and the decent sentiment of
the country has been outraged time
and again by the ~deplorahle s~pectacles
which have been presented in connec-
lion with this case.

1t in disrnay. remembering that Harry
had been paid for his past weeks

all that money-which she needed
much, dear-"
