FREE LIST EXTENDED
BY WAYS AND MEANS
Rumors from House Committee Say
Drastic Cuts Have Been
Made.

Free steel rails and free iron ore are
carried by the Democratic tariff bill. &C.
cording to reports last night.
Members of the House Ways and
Means Committee are noncommittal
Other important additions to the free
list are said to be: Dressed meats Of
all characters: boots and shoes; salt,
lumber and timber; agricultural imple-
ments. cotton bagging and ties; fence
wire, leathev food products, except
grain, sewing machines.
The existing duty on steel rails is 40
of one cent a pound, and on iron ore,
Is cents a ton.
The importation Of steel rails 10 in
considerable and there will be little
loss in customs receipts il they are
placed on the free list.
An effort to break down in part the
high cost OF living is the reason for in
Guiding on the free list dressed meats
and food products. Texas and Middle
West Democrats prevented cattle from
being added to the free list. They did
not want competition with the cheaper
cattle from the Mexican and Canadian
ranges. Free agricultural implements
and fence wire are offered to the farm
ers in exchange for free food products.
The Southern cotton growers are given
free cotton bagging and ties. They have
been fighting for this for many years.

and proud that the blood of that stark

in the veins Of his children. One sum-
mer afternoon, after listening to an un-
usually long Dutch Reformed sermon for
the second time that day, my grand
father. a smafi boy, running home before
the congregation had dispersed, ran into
a party Of pigs which then wandered free
in New York's streets. He promptly
mounted a big boar, which no less

Is Commission Rule "Good' Govern.
ment?

Commission form of government ap-
pears to be taking deeper root daily.
1t is moving eastward and is attracting
the attention of large cities. Jersey
City in two weeks will have to de-
termine whether its citizens desire this
method of conducting their municipal
affairs. That city is on the edge of
Greater New York. Their shipping
and traffic interests are identical,
their .harbor being located in the very
same stream. A metropolitan paper
observes: "If any interested citizen
should ask why commission form of
government would not be good for
New York, it would be difficult to
know what to answer him"
Trenton and Passaic already have
commission rule Should Jersey City
adopt it now, Newark is likely to fol-
low, owing TO its proximity to the
other two cities, as we'll as to New
York, of which this important manu.
featuring town practically is an indus
trial suburb. In two States there is
evidence of refusal to wait upon de-
velopments in the cities. The propo-
sition of the Governor of Kansas TO
establish commission, consisting of
two representatives from each Con-
gressional district, to replace the pres
'ent Legislature of I65 members, which
has been commented upon in these COL
umns before, is novelty. In Min
nesota bill is before the Legislature
to make the executive branch consist
of a Governor and four commission
ers, with powers to appoint all State
officers excepting the Lieutenant Gov
ernor and State auditor.
All these are radical novelties, but
they indicate the grip which the idea
has upon the popular imagination.

proposition to print the prayers OF the
retiring Chaplain as a public document
This means that private supplications,
presumably addresset by Senators
through their spiritual spokesman to
their Maker, shall be published and
circulated, just like political speeches,
as public document.
Those who mostly read the Con-
gressional Record and other public
documents spend very little time, il
any, looking up the words of the
Chaplain. And. besides, legislative
bodies seem poor place for develop
ing the talents of the joker.

BRYAN Will open
D. A. R. CONVENTION
Rumor to This Effect Is Current
Other Changes Are
Probable.
VOTING ON WEDNESDAY

Details Of the programme Of events
for the twenty-second annual congress
Of the Daughters OF the American Revo-
luton, which convenes here on April n
to 20. were learned yesterday. Several
Innovations were noted in the programme
by Daughters, one Of the most radical OF
which is that which changes the date of
voting from Thursday to Wednesday OF
the congressional week, with nominations
for national officers on Tuesday night.
But the innovation which is arousins
most comment is that which places the
reading Of State reports as the sole bust
ness Of Wednesday and Thursday dur
ing the day sessions, and between which
the voting will be done by voting ma
chimes. as last year. 1t Is claimed that
the reading of the State reports will
preclude the introduction Of national is
sues and business that might have a
bearing on the election. Under the pro-
gramme now arranged the delegates will
vote without learning important details
Of what has transpired in the past year.
It is rumored that Secretary Of State
Bryan will make the opening address
at the formal commencement Of the con-
gress on Monday, April IA, instead Of
tom heretofore for a number Of years.
President and Mrs. Wilson, however,
will receive the Daughters at recep-
ton In their honor to be given at the
White House at els Thursday, April II.
The advance guard Of delegates Is ar
irving In town. Mrs. John Miller Horton
is already here. and is at the New Will
lard. Mrs. Charles B. Bryan. of Tennes-
see. is expected early next week and
will be quartered at the Ebbitt. while
Mrs. William Cumming Story, of New
York City. the conservative candidate,
who Is regarded as having the best
chances Of election in the three-cornered
fight that has arisen, will arrive on
Thursday next and occupy a suite In
the New Willard.
1t Is expected that announcement will
be made IN short time Of the per-
sonnet of the supporting tickets, which
will elect ten vice presidents general and
eight national officers besidesIa presi-
dent general. 1t is said that Mrs. Charles
B. Bryan will present no names besides
her own to the delegates, and win not
try to elect full ticket

Real Estate Boomers and the Isle of
Pines.

Few are aware of the fact that the
boundaries of the insular possessions
ceded to US by the treaty with Spain
are still unsettled, and the question
of the Isle of Pines has been so long
shelved that almost everybody has
forgotten its existence. But in reality
there never was a question. Spain
ceded Cuba to the United States in
trust, and this government turned the
island over to the Cuban people. 1t
is mere bubble to say that Cuba does
not include the Isle of Pines; it might
as we'll be asserted that the Atlantic
beach is not a part of New Jersey.
But an issue was made of the cir
cumstance that a narrow salt water
inlet separates the smaller island from
the Cuban mainland.
The United States disclaims owner
ship, but some American operators
in Isle of Pines real estate insist that
the island belongs to us. To settle
the case treaty, in the form of a
quit claim, was made with Cuba, but
it has never left the Senate commit
tee. Such loose ends of unfinished
business may become troublesome.
There is no doubt that the island,
geographically, historically, and in
other respects, is an integral part of
Cuba. 1t has Away been so regarded.
1t lies about forty miles from the
mainland of Cuba, but it is one of an
archipelago extending, with narrow in
tervals, to the Cuban coast, and the
water between it and Cuba is SO shall
low that at low tide droves of cattle
have been driven across Under Span
ish rule, the Isle of Pines was one
of 'the municipalities of the Province
of Havana, and so it has remained
under the Cuban Republic.
1t is neither creditable to us, nor
profitable, to have the status of the
lovely little island remain in doubt.
If we have title to il, why not assert
it? But we know we'll enough that
we have not, and, despite all efforts
of real estate boomers, SPECTATORS,
and exploiters, this government should
not hesitate to make it clear, once for
all, that it belongs to Cuba.
