AN HISTORIC BILL.

when the Underwood bill came from the
house OF representatives to the senate it was
regarded rs piece of epoch making legislation.
AS it comes from the finance committee to the
Democra tictcaucus II breaks every record in the
history'of'tarir making.
The Underwood bill was not as radical as
enemies,of,tarirr reduction had professed to be-
lieve itswould be, but IT provided sufficient
Ichangesto' cause even some Progressives and Re
publicans 10 admit, that it fully redeemed Demo-
cratic campaign promises. 1t provided for the
f1rst'real' reduction In rates since the War Be-
tween tho States. AS IT comes from the Demo-
cratic caucus of the senate 1t provides a lower
average rate than when the house had COM
pieted its work For the first time in twenty
years Democratic tariff bill passed the house;
for the flrst time in history a senate caucus low
cred the house rates.
The end Is not yet The senate bill must go
through the caucus and then through the SEN
ate but ii has passed the first ana most import
ant stage President Wilson. loyalty backed by
Congressman Underwood and the Democratic
majority in the house. put IT through that body.
President Wilson. backed Loyalty by Senator Sim
mons and a few others, have put It through the
senate finance committee The same men may
be counted upon to put It through the caucus
the full senate, and TO induce the house and
senate conferees to reach an agreement Mr.
Wilson will then sign II and the Baltimore plat
form promises, the promises made by Mr.. Will
son during his campaign and the promises made
lby Democratic leaders who stumped the coun-
tFy4f the interests Of hts and his party's sue
cess at the polls will have kept the faith
1t great day for Democracy when the
Underwood bill passed the house; It was a
greater day when the senate finance committee
reported the bill with the great, underlying
principles unchanged and such changes as were
made providing REDUCTIONS rather than increases
in the schedules.
In three short months Democratic president.
a Democratic house and Democratic senate
have earned and gained the condolences of the
people There have not been so many specta-
cuiar performances as during the days of Col

Carnegie and the Colleges,

The efforts of Andrew Carnegie the retired
steel king, to bestow his surplus wealth upon
Libraries, schools and colleges and the encour-
agement and support OF tho teacher profession
appear be meeting with strenuous opposition
almost every time they are definitely proposed
1t is well known fact that under the restrictions
which Mr. Carnegie has provided, no school
can secure the benefits of the Carnegie founda-
ton unless it show that 1t lis not under secta
ran control. few years ago the efforts OF the
Randolph Macon Womans college to have that
school placed upon the Carnegie foundation and
become a beneficiary of the fund provided
therein for retired teachers caused great d.
vision in the Methodist Church in this State as
to the status of that school. with the result that
IL was finally determined and conceded that 1t
was a church school under Methodist patronage
and control but that it la not a sectaran school
in the sense that there is any attempt to limit
freedom of choice In religion on the part of the
Register.

POOR LOUISIANA

AFTER taking the tariff off sugar the senate
finance committee puts tarff on bananas and
New Orleans is hit again. Believing In high
protection on what It sells and free trade on
what 1t buys, New Orleans people have no party.
They want party all their own to legislate for
them exclusively without any consideration for
the rest Of the country.

The New York Sun calls the tariff bill az re-
ported by the senate finance committee a dis
tinct victory for President Wilson. Gaining dis
tnct victories is habit that Mr.. Wilson has
enemies.

The Vfrgintan is sorry that President Wilson
has decided to sign the sundry civil bill pro-
viding for the exemption of certain unions from
the operation of the antitrust law. but even
great minds do not always run in the same
channel and will forgive Mr. Wilson for
branching off this once.

Education OF Values.

A Western university has gathered an array
of figures and a volume of information and ar
rived at the conclusion that the average value
of a college education Is $4,000
If goes to college therefore, and is just
average he will have $4,000 in his
pockets some day than he would have had If
he had gone to work four years sooner! All
Of which Is nonsense
The measuring of the value of education
In terms OF dollars and cents Is false meas
Iuration and the last one on which an university
should lay stress Such attempts as this give the
foreign critics of educational ideals ground
for their sneers at our diploma factories" The
old bourgeois question. will a college education
enable my to make the business pay better
than my experience has doneg" Is natural one
with certain type of mind but 1t betrays a
total ignorance as to what education means and
what II seeks Education and technical train
ing are two different things though they can
and should both be acquired.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

CIAL SUCCESS.

At the last meeting OF the Phfi-
harmonic orchestra. the following ON
GERS were elected: James Whittee,
president; DR.. J. NJ. Whitfield. vice.
president: Fred, r. Dapprich~ s~cre-
tary~treasurer: DR.. William ]. Co.
wardin and Miss Anita Kirkwood,
members OF the executive committee
In an enthusiastic talk on the things
accomplished during the past year,
Mr.. Whittet stated that for the firs&
time in history the orchestra has
more than made expenses and done
something toward wiping out the de-
hcit OF previous years.
The number of subscribers last sea-
son was the greatest ever recorded.
and comments received from the audi
ences at the concerts seem to indicate
that the orchestra Is doing n work
which Is appreciated in a broad way
by the people OF this city.
Vigorous plans are being formulated
for the coming season to extend tho
list of subscribers and thereby do
more to reach people OF all classes
with the refining influence OF good
music.
The price OF tickets which has al
ways occasioned much comment be-
cause of its lowness, will remain the
ShHic' ior IL IL the aim. NOT 10 make
money, but to afford all the oppor-
turfty or hearing the worlds best
musical masterpieces at purely
nominal cost
Critics unite In pronouncing the
work of the orchestra better than
ever before. and great deal of the
credit for this belongs to the gifted
director OF the organization, Mr. W.
Henry Baker. There are now forty
FIVE members In the orchestra, prac-
tically all of them amateurs.
Rehearsals have been discontinued
for the summer months. and will be
resumed with double enthusiasm in
the early part OF September.

American Architecture.

American architecture has two starting points
the home and the office In both it has done
much copying and experimenting, and made not
a few mistakes. But in both 1t Is winning to
solid ground at last and achieving new. beautiful
and lasting work
The typical Office building Is the steel sky
scraper This when treated as a skyscraper,
is one of the most Impressive feFms--ef archt-
lecture earth Not to mention local examples.
the West street and Woolworth buildings in New
York, have a beauty all their own-a towering
grandeur which owes little to builders OF any
earlier age.
No single type of building will become uni
versal a home in country vast Amer
lea. The colonial house. the mission" house,
the bungalow and many other forms are used
by progressive architects. The French chateau
has left a lasting impress the designing Of
more costly homes. But the age of Imitation
is past. Homes nowadays are being built for
comfort and beauty. not In servile copy OF
classic styles.
