WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1913.
THE TARIFF BILL.

It is apparent that President Wilson
is working in complete harmony with
the democrats in the house. The out
line of the tariff bill that has been
prepared by the ways and means COM
mittee and made public in dispatches
to The Forum yesterday, is a Wilson
measure from start to finish. 1t shows
Wilsonic ideas, as the president has
expressed them both before and since
his election, in every line.
The proposed tariff measure is just
what was anticipated, a radical read
justment of the tariff along the lines
OF free trade. 1t carries out Wilson's
idea of eliminating protection Of prof
its n hereafter the American manu-
facturer, If the bill becomes a law as
it is now worded, will have to meet
the competition Of the world.
Wilson has been fortunate in many
things since coming into power. Back
ed by a powerful majority of friendly
democrats in the house. he has been
able to practically dictate the tariff
measure and is assured that it will
pass the house almost as prepared. He
has been favored by two recent
amendments to the constitution of the
United States.
The first of these amendments to
play directly into his hands is the one
authorizing an income tax. The dem
ocrats plan to make shrewd use Of
this tax to pick up the work Of raising
revenue, that will be dropped by the
tariff when it is remodeled. They have
worked out a scheme to raise revenue
from his source in conjunction with
the bill lowering tariff duties and If
their plan works as they hope it will
the big slashes in revenue from the
tariff will not be felt.
The second amendment which will
be of great value to the president is
the last one. ratified by the states
the amendment calling for the election
of United States senators by direct
popular vote. Although the democrats
have control Of the senate the margin
is so close that a few of the old stand
pat conservatives, who might decide
to take a stand against radical cuts
in the wool, sugar, lumber or other
schedules, CouId block the admins
tration programme. In fact strong op-
position has already come to light in
the senate. But with the new law,
which puts their reelection up to a
vote of the people, senators may see
things in a different light thar former
~. Wilson has already realized the
potency of his club and threatens to
go to the people two years hence. when
many senators will be up for re-elec-
ton. if his plans are blocked by a few
stand-pa senators now.
Wilson seems to be starting out I'M
der very much more favorable circum-
stances than fell to the lot Of Cleve-
land.

twenty or thirty years ago!
We believe this passion for the nov
ell is but a passing phase-at least we
hope so, u wish if father to the
thought" Of course, now and again
we do get from modern writer's a
touch Of old-fashioned beauty and
melody, but the instances are so rare
as to be notable.
The same Is true of our literature.
1t does no make much difference
whether a young student has a knowl-
edge of the great masterpieces of Eng
liSh literature or not, so long as he has
read the novels produced in the last
two years. The modern novel presents
largely some phase of the great human
problem, and much of u literature Is
tinctured through and through with
the base and the low and panders to
the commonest instincts of our nature.
Have you read Thackeray, or Scott,
or Washington Irving?" ooh. no; no
one reads these writer's nowadays,
they are ld~-fashioned. To keep up
with tho times one must read the
books of today" This is not an I'M
common but a common observation.
Carlyle's dictum that no book was a
book worth reading until it had lived
ten years. is another piece of old-fash-
Toned advice. "Of the making of books
there is no end said the wise man of
old. We are surfeited, overwhelmed.
intoxicated with the m"ultitudinous
volumes, unscientific, without literary
merit, unwholesome, unclean, that
come leaping from our presses today.
We are told that Robert Louis Stew
enson wrote and Tewrote his splendid
pages, not so the modern author; he
phrases are too clamorous for novel
stuf'-and STUFF" it literally is.
Even the pulpit is hardly immune
to the tendency of which we write:
it must needs tickle the ears of the
people with essays and lectures on
themes purely secular, else it is not
popular. There is the ragtime sermon
as well as the ragtime anthem, In fact
the whole world seems to be in rags
We present a sorry spectacle to men
and angels. We think we are modern
and WI try to be. We believe in the
legitimate, new and novel and we seek
to the limit of our ability to present
things old and new to those to whom
we minister; but we confess that there
is much of the so-called modern that
makes no appeal to us whatever.
So far as the church is concerned

icy that recognizes the orbit of it's
teaching and influence within, and

If there is not enough fascinating and
compelling matter here to preach
about, the pulpit better give over its
functions to those who are better
qualified to discharge them. In the
name of God and common sense, let us
have a bit of the legitimate along
with the illegitimate, something Of The

UsELEssLY BRAVINe DEATH.

Announcement that Captain Amund-
who will appear in Moorhead in the
near future and give a popular lecture,
is organizing an expedition to explore
the arctic regions will arouse very
little enthusiasm in lay circles. The
general public has very little enthusi-
asm il q second locating Of the north
pole, Lieutenant Peary, having already
laid claim to this honor.
The fate of Captain Scott and his
party in the antarctic regions is fresh
in the public mind, nc the decision
has been reached in the popular view
that it Is a waste of human life to
seek to explore the desolate regions
around the poles, al little practical
good will be served, looking at the
matter from a purely unitarian
standpoint. Another recent disaster
in polar expeditions is the fate of the
German arctic expedition under Lieu
tenant SChrOeder-Stranz in which the
leader is missing and nearly all the
members Of the party have been lost.
The present is an especially inaus-
picious time for the dispatch of the
little bands into the wastes of ice and
snow. The rapid advances in avia-
ton render it possible that in a decade
or two it will be possible to make the
trip to either pole in three or four

DESIGNS ON CHINA.

Illuminating disclosures as to the
Interior purposes Of the six power
loan to China, which President Will
son repudiated by refusing to ask
American bankers to participate, have
been made by Guy H. Walker, a writ
er in Leslie's Weekly. The suspicious
of President Wilson that the loan was
to be used as a pretext for robbing
China Of her dependencies and ultf-
mately Remembering the republic. are
fully confirmed by Mr.. Walker. who
liVed for a time in China, and Who
has just returned from a visit to that
country.
According to the writer named. the
scheme was, and still is, to force on
China a large loan, many times it's
needs, and on the plea of protecting
the interests Of the money lenders to
take over that country's principal
sources of revenue and administer
the funds thus collected. The sum
first desired by China was $27,50O, 600,
but when an American group of bank
ers demanded a share, the loan was
raised to $50, 900, 900. A little later
the limit was fixed at $780, 900, 900. with
British, French, German and Ameri-
can investors taking one-fourth each.
Russia and Japan her asked a hand
and the ~six-power bankers finally in
sisted on ~loaning 5000, 900, 600 to China,
a huge sum which the country neither
desired nor needed.
"The proposition of the six power
group" ays Mr.. Walker, for their
loan to ~China-which President Will
o has just repudiated-far from be-
tng calculated to preserve the integri-
~ of China, was clearly a scheme to
take from China the last vestige Of
self government-for it required a
surrender to foreign control of practi-
cally every source of national revenue.
The plan could have had no other OBJ
ject than the parceling out of China,
financially first and politically after
ward, between the participating pow
ers."
The writer says that the represen-
tatiVes in Pekin of the six powers
were instructed to discountenance any
outside loans to China. a policy which
the Taft administration pursued, and
which when it was re%pddiated by the
new administration. SO displeased AS
Eistant Secretary of State Huntingdon
Wilson that he rebuked the president
and resigned in the same breath. The
new policy, Mr.. Walker is confident,
