WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
Today the tariff bill goes back to
the House and Senate from the con-
ference committee. The many changes
agreed upon since it passed the Senate
will be approved, and before the end
of the week the new tariff revision
will probably have been signed by
the President and become law.
As in all its preliminary stages in
the House and Senate, the real work
of tariff legislation in this final phase
of the bills passage has been con-
Quoted in secret session.
Thousands of changes were made
by the Senate in the House bill. Many
of them were changes of great ma
terial effect upon prices and indus
tries. Both houses named commit
tees, number of Democrats and a
smaller number of Republicans, to
meet in conference and compromise
the differences between the bill passed
by the House and the bill passed by
the Senate.
A year ago Congress passed a num-
Der of tariff bills, knowing that Presi-
dent Taft would veto them as fast
as they were passed. When these
bills went to conference committees
the Democrats did a thing that had
never before been known in tariff
history. They threw open the doors
of the conference room. Not only
were both the Democratic and Re-
publican members of the conference
committee present at the sessions,
but the newspaper reporters and the
public generally were invited to come
in and hear and see everything that
transpired.
1t was an impressive and inspiring
spectacle. Legislation in the open,
bipartisan, philosophical I'M
preiudiced, with nothing to hide.
Came the Wilson victory and orders
for a special tariff session. Congress
engaged in the making of tariff bills
that were to become law, not merely
to be passed for campaign purposes.
From the White House came orders
that they must be partisan. No Re-
publicans must have a voice in their
making. There was q mild request
that the caucuses be opened to the
press.
Unless a caucus is secret it is not
a caucus" some members said, and
the President did not insist.
In secret, the House made its bill,
pledged all Democrats to vote for it,
and then allowed the other members
of the House to go through the for
mality of offering and voting upon
amendments doomed in advance to
defeat. In the Senate the same per-
Torrance. Then to the conference
committee.
What became of last years boosted
open conference? Were the doors
open, and all members present, and
the public and reporters invited?
They were not.
Behind locked doors the Democratic
members of the conference committee
adjusted the differences in the bills.
When they disagreed they went to
the White House for orders, and what
was ordered was done. The report
ers and the public stood outside and
begged for news, and were grudging-
ly given scant crumbs of information
1t was a Democratic conference, an
other party caucus. When asked
what had become of the open confer
ence program of last year, members
of the majority either laughed, or

The White House mint bed is not
myth. It's real. The mint is said
to have been planted by Andrew
Jackson. However that may be,
there's lot of 1t, out behind the
White House laundry, and not much
of it is being used nowadays.
Lee Worshem, State entomologist
of Georgia; Captain j. B. White, of
Kansas City, and Tom Shipp went to
the White House the other day to
ask the President to make q speech
at the conservation congress to be
held here in November. White is
getting up the program, and Shipp is
secretary of the National ConserVa-
ton Association.
"As O Southerner," said Worshem,
"Tve been worried over stories that
the White House mint bed is to be
destroyed. 1t should not be, If 1t ex-
lists. The mint julep is a Southern
institution, and in a grape juice adj
ministration the least respect that
can be accorded the South is to pre-
serve and conserve the growth of the
mint planted by Andrew Jackson"
Captain White refused to believe
in the existence of the mint bed, and
finally an usher was found who knew
where it was located. A bouquet of
the herb was picked for the conserva-
tionists and they departed happy.
Not of this" said Worshem, when
asked if he proposed to use his share
of the herb in brewing juleps. ANY
mint will make good juleps, but these
sprigs are going to the State of Geor-
gia, for careful distribution among
men who will propagate and nourisfr
them, SO that my State may in time
offer it's visitors juleps made from

Shah Jahan had begun a tomb for
himself on the opposite side of the

cause Aurangzeb his son, rebelled
against him and took away the en-

Shah Jahan was q cold and naughty

pride was softened in later life by
the death of his wife. 1t is said that
during his reign he brought India
peace and prosperity by putting all
his rivals to death. Besides the. Tai

the Pearl Mosque at Agra and the
great mosque of Delhi, which were
built by Shah Jahan, have made his
reign one of the most memorable in

Mr.. Russell died in the second year
of his service as a member OF tne
WAYS and means committee. and 1t
was the general opinion of his col
leagues that his untimely death had
cut short a career in a larger arena,
for he probably would have become
United States Senator in case the
party continued to be successful In
Connecticut.
With Mr.. Russell many years ago
I had a delightful and intimate
friendship. | first met him while he
was still a student at Yale College.
He was a handsome young man, OF
strong physique. medium height, with
a complexion as fair as that OF
child. His smile was a fascination.
He confided to me that it was with
difficulty that he was getting through
college, for he had but limited means.
He asked me. therefore, if | couldn't
find for him some newspaper employ
ment l was fortunate enough to
secure for him newspaper work and
he showed such facility as news
gatherer and such accuracy and
charm as a writer that his stipend
was speedily increased. and imme-
diately after he was graduated he
was able to secure remuneratlVe
newspaper work upon leading paper
published at Worcester. Mass.
Some years later Russell was nom1-
mated by his party for secretary of
state and elected. There had been
an interval of. six or seven years
between his election and the time
when 1 had met him. 1 ran across
him accidentally soon after his cleo
ton and asked him how it happened
that he whom last knew as news
paper man in Worcester had become
secretary of state in Connecticut.
"It was a happy chance" he re-
piled. MY father-in-law, who was

Not Afraid of Competition.

From the Boston News Bureau.
A large American manufacturer
abroad this summer said: II am not
afraid of the new tariff or competi-
ton from England or Germany. If
for time they get an apparent tenn
porary advantage the prosperity they
enjoy will continue to advance their
wage payments per worker. Amer
lea has simply led the way in higher
wages. Europe has followed, and
wages in Europe must continue to
advance This makes any sustained
competition under reduced tariff inn
possible. Every time America opens
the door a little to European trade
up jumps the European expense. In
this respect the percentage in wage
increases will in comparison be
against Europe"
