SMooT INTRODUCES A NEW
SCHEDULE FOR WOOL TARIFF


WASHINGTON, July 15.-Senator
Smoot. Republican member Of the fin
ance committee. introduced today a
substitute for the wool schedule of
the. Underwood Simmons bill, pro-
posing rates based directly on the re
port of the tariff board and adopting
in each grade the lowest rate. The
schedule is lower than that introduced
by Senator PenroSe as a substitute for
the Underwood bill and is the lowest
of all wool schedules introduced by a
Republican senator.
AS substitute for free raw wool
The Smoot schedule divides raw wool
INTO three grades and establishes rates
ranging from to 16 cents a pound
Glass 1 woods, made dutiable at &c
cents 4 pound if secured and Is cents
a pound on cleaned content, il i'm
ported in the grease, include merino
woods imported usually from Buenus
Ayres, New Zealand, Egypt. Australia,
Gape of Good Hope, Russia, Great Brit
ain, Morocco, down combing, woods
and Canadian long woods.
Woods of class 2, made duitable at
IA cents per pound if secured and
13 cents on cleaned content in the
grease. include all hair of the camel
goat alpaca and Leicester, Cotswold
Lincolnshire and similar long combing-
OF English blood.
Woods of class 3, dutiable at I cents
per pound, if imported in their natural
state and 4 if secured include Donskoi
native South American, CordOva, Val
paraisO. native Smyrna, Russian cam
els hair, Bagdad, China lamb, Cast
Branco and all such wOols usually i'm
ported from Turkey, Greece and Syria
A drawback of 90 per cent is pro-
vided for on woods Of class 3, used in
the United States for the manufacture
of carpets, druggets, mats, floor rugs
/ hassOckS, art squares, ETC.. which
would make carpet woods practically
| free Of duty. The duty on woods OF
! hair on the skin would be. cent less
| a pound in very case than on the wool
contents.
On manufactured goods and woods
advanced beyond the natural state the
rates Of The Smoot bill are correspond
! inrly lower Than present rates.

an embarrassing position, it became
known today. by request from agents
of the French government for assist
ance of the departments ordnance bu-
reau in perfecting the smokeless pow

A series of unexplained disastrous
explosions in French magazines is said
to have led to this request. Nations
usually try hard to protect the secret
of their powder preparations.
The war department buys all Of its

protested vigorously against the dis

DANGERS OF PHYSICAL CULTURE.
BY Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

A rather pertinent and absorbing ques-

this young man, that professional ath-

good things of life can be overdone. One
could easily kill ones self eating ice

ing any other ordinary harmless thing to
too great a degree.

Conscience and the Impossible
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

"A Impossible null nest tenu''-no one

French proverb.
untrue.
The very opposite is true. Nine times
out of ten 1T is the impossible to which
our commanding conscience points.
You feel you may do, can do. would
like or hate to do what you can do, but
it is usually what you think you cam
not do that you feel you ought to do.
You feel you ought to be perfectly
pure; you never will be, but SO long as
you live you will feel the tug of the
obligation.
1t is your bounden duty to be always
patient kind. brave, strong, self-con-
trolled, sWeet-tempered. forglving and al
together paragon of all the virtues.
This at the same time, you understand
very well is out Of the question; you are
too human. But that does not quiet
conscience, you so on feeling you should
be perfect.
Now, the meat Of this matter, the solu-
ton of the puzzle, is this: that con-
science is not so much law of action
as it is principle Of development.
Nature is not so much concerned about
your doing just SO. as she is about your
growing constantly. Gods purpose, if
conduct as the continuous development
of our moral stature.
1t is only by trying to reach the unat
tainable that our reach becomes ever
higher. Our powers rise toward our
ideas of perfection. as flowers grow to-
ward the sun. 1t was not intended that
any flower should attain to the sun.
Responsibility" says Bushnell, lis not

Mistaken people are discouraged when
they see how far they fall short of their
ideals They never do quite what they
ought to do; hence. despair. What's the
use, says one; I can't be good; So to
the bottle and the wallow of the senses.
Others, who will not sink so low. keep
trying, yet are necessarily irritated, pes
simistic, in the dumps.
1t seems to me all such might be COM
forted not a little, and their lives made
much more even and poiseful. if they
would realize the fact that our sense Of
ought always points to something out Of
our reach, and that natures design is
that we keep reaching, and so develop
And even IL some rare soul did reach the

lance will probably be a clash between
McCarty and Tommy Burns. from
whom Jack Johnson won the champion
ship. Burns has announced that he is
back in the game. He figures that he
is entitled to chance against the
white heavies, and no doubt will get it.
Burns while perhaps a more finished
fighter than any of the men McCarty
has beaten, should not be troublesome
for the new champion. McCarty would
have much the better of height and
weight, and he would have a further adj
vantage in that Burns has been out of
the game for several years. and 1T would
be question as to whether he could come
back.
Time was when one thought of a cham
pion only as an athlete whose position
necessarily meant an age approaching
three decades at least. 1t was figured that
that this alone could give him the poise
and seasoning needed to win a crown.
But now If champion is three years
past majority he is viewed with suspicion
as one who may be expected to 'crack"
shortly.
We have with us at present the follow
ing pugilistic champions whose few
winters will verify this statement
Willie Richie, lightweight champion,
twenty-five years
Luther McCarty, heavyweight cham
pion,' twenty years.
Johnny Kilbane featherweight cham
pion, twenty-three years.
Johnny COulOn, bantamweight cham
pion, held title before he was Of age.
Fighters of today are ready for the
crepe at the age of twenty-eight or
thirty. only a few of the larger men
surviving the hard campaign beyond the
three-decade mark.
The long-looked-for conference between
Owner Farrell of the New York club
and Frank Chance is to take place in
Chicago on January .. This has been
arranged by wire between the magnate
and the manager and will undoubtedly re-
suit in Chance affiXing his signature to
a contract. While there have been all
sorts of stories sent out from the coz st
to the effect that Chance proposes to
demand the biggest salary ever paid a
manager. such does not seem to be the
case. Chance, it is said, will be reason
able in his demands. as he is anxious to
prove to the base ball public that Murphy
made a serious mistake when he let him
out. The New York club gives him a
splendid opportunity TO do this. because
it has been a tailender, and any improve
ment will tend to make Chances admin
istration appear successful.

he knows little of the game. 1t is, of
