Carl Theodor Rosen, a travelling
merchant residing In Stockholm, has
established record by way Of beating
his landlord out of his house rent. For
six years he managed to move from
house to house without ever paying
any house rent. Finally he under
stood that detective was close upon
his heels, and, suave and exceedingly
polite as always, he went to the po-
lice station and reported himself.
According to his notes he had lived
in at least sixty different houses in
six years. At first he would rent a
whole suite Of rooms, explaining that
he came directly from abroad or from
some fashionable watering place. Later
in the game he would go to room
advertised for rent, stay over night,
get a good cup Of coffee and bite
to eat in the morning, and proceed,
never to return. The explanation OF
his remarkable success In duping peo-
pie was his charming eloquence, his
suave manners, and his golden pince'
nee. This phenomenon was born in
Stockholm in 1868.

successfully fathered bill which en-
forces important restrictions on the
sale of liquor in bars, restaurants and

evidently intends to follow this up

In explaining why the liberal party,

alcohol is poison and that the state

Washington.--The Democratic tariff
revision bill, first on the program of
reforms mapped out when President
Wilson came into office, advanced to
its last congressional stage when 1t
was brought back to the house from
the joint conference committee with
the unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic conferees.
The measure, Of course, has both its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration, II carries out
four Of the party promises. Tariff re-
form, reduction in the high cost OF
living, campaign against the trusts, In
that duties have been taken OF OF
many trust made article, and the In
come tax.
The measure, consequently, has a
larger importance than that of mere
tariff reform bill. and its effect must
be widespread, both on business and
industry, and also In connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-
fdent that business will suffer no un.
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited.
Changes In the Rates.
The bill imposes an average ad
valorem rate of from 81 to 20 per
cent. The average for the present
Aldrich law is 40.12 per cent. The
average for the Wilson-Gorman act
was 39.45 per cent.
Duties generally have been reduced
on all of the articles that enter into
the necessaries of life, including the
products Of the farm as well as manu-
featured products.
Trust made products In many cases
have been transferred to the free list
or the duties at present imposed have
been substantially reduced.
The income tax feature OF the bill is
expected to net some $s3,000,000. 1t
will call for tax on net incomes of
unmarried persons of $4,000 and up
wards and on net incomes of married
persons living together, where the
Vife or husband is dependent, OF s4.-
BOO and upwards
Experts estimates indicate a sur
plus of $16.000,000 over all expend-
lures at the end of the present fiscal
year.

whole lot of people in this coun-

lightly, and they will resent this
trif1ing with the peoples welfare
for purely partizan purposes.
The very best way to ensure
the enactment of the Currency
Bill is for the Captains of FL
nance to lock up money and. try
to scare the Administration into
acquiescence in its demands
for a continuance of control of
the country's finances.
There was a time when-if Wall
Street took snuff the rest of the
country sneezed.
Now, it can throw seventeen
duck fits and merely amuse on
looking business, which has
learned to stand on its own feet.
So, since the opponents of these
two measures seem to be fatuous-
ly determined to antagonize
them-its safe bet that they
will both pass, backed by irresis-
tible power of public sentiment
and that before the leaves begin
to fall.
