behalf of the subcommittee which
passed upon the bill in its early stages
before submitting it to the combined
judiciary and legal affairs committees.
He urged the Senate to adopt the re-
port and accept the draft prepared
because it was the best they could find
in every detail. Aside from verbal
amendments and few of them he
thought the bill admirably adapted to
Maine, its people and its big corpora,
eions which would be designated as
public utilities.
Senator Jersey moved that the Senate
insist on the vote whereby it passed
what is known as the Massachusetts bal
lot law and which the House voted TO
Indefinitely postpone, and TO asA for a
committee of conference. The Senate SO
voted and Pres. Milliken named Sena-

Tuberculous Pupils.

In connection with the proposed sepa-

which. the Commissioners are TO submit

gested that perhaps ultimately this prof.

Obviously school of this character will

satisfactory If il were situated quite out

pupils assigned to it, Some OF these will
have TO travel four or five miles to reach
school, covering thus ten or twelve miles

this will involve street car fares, and it

,e Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is not surprising to learn that the
tariff issue is likely to bob up again in
Canada. The enactment of the Under
wood law at Washington makes it almost
a certainty, for in these days of frequent
intercourse among nations peoples as
CLOSELY related as the United States and
the Dominion cannot well continue upon
widely differing tariff bases.
The indications are that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and his liberal party are ready
to urge once more a lowering of the
Canadian tariff wall. One would like to
see this question submitted again to the
voters of the Dominion. In 1911. when
the reciprocity measure was rejected, the
question of trade relations with the United
States had become entangled with the
naval issue and other questions and the
result was not convincing as to the tariff
IT is possible that now with the changed
situation in the United States the Cana
dian electorate might be persuaded to
change the verdict of two years ago. par
ticularly If the question could be kept
distinct from unrelated issues. The time
appears favorable for resubmitting the
question.

it is a familiar claim OF the railroad
corporations in this country that they

izations to call attention TO the low, per-

The President and the Currency.

Again the record of today recalls the
record OF twenty years ago. Mr., Cleve-
land had his troubles, and Mr.. Wilson is
entering upon his. g.
Mr.. Cleveland put the money issue
ahead of the tariff and carried his point.
But he won with republican support.
Without il he would have been defeated.
John Sherman was his guide, philosopher
and friend, and the generalissimo in the
Senate. The greatest American master of
finance since Hamilton and Gallatin was
an invaluable ally in that contest.
Later, when the tariff came up, Mr..
Cleveland lost A tariff bill was passed
Cleveland wanted. When cornered, he
lodged. He would neither sign nor veto
The bill became a law without his sigma
ture. much to the regret of some of mis-
friends, who desired him to veto it, save
the issue for the coming congressional
campaigns, and go to the country on 1T.
MIR. Wilson put the tariff before the
money issue, and got a bill to suit him.
In fact he dictated its dominating pro-
visions. In signing il he simply indorsed
himself The law is his, and he made
it, and his hands prepared the ground
upon which his party friends in Congress
stood He got a little outside help. but
did not need it., He controlled the neces-
sary votes in both houses in his own
party.
But here is the money issue-not in
the shape of twenty years ago, but
nevertheless appealing, as,that did, to the
whole banking and commercial interests
They are vitaIly concerned, and ia,re not
only within their rights but obeying a
public duty in exerting all their power
to have legislation take safe and work.
able business form.
It is very clear that Mr.. Wilson. unlike
his experience with the tariff, will not
get what he wants in the matter Of cur
rency reform. He would have taken the
so-called Glass bill as it passed the
House; but that never stood the slightest
chance Of passing the Senate. He would
now take the bill that Chairman Owen
would be glad to have the Senate in
dorse, but the Oklahoma senator will
not be permitted to dominate the situ-
alton. ,,es i
Mr. Wilson is not master in this, busi-1
ness. He has not, as Mr.. Cleveland had,
republican allies in the Senate. John
Sherman is dead. and the republican
senator from Ohio is not touched in the
slightest particular with greenbackism or
Organism. And the leader of the pro-
gressives in that body-Mr.~ Bristow-is
dead set against the Wilson'S lass-Owen
program. +e
What will Mr.. Wilson do with the. bill
that reaches him, whenever one does
reach him? 1t will not be the bill he has
been advocating and his friends have
been trying TO pass. Will he dodge, and
permit the measure to become a law
without his signature, or muster his nerve,
veto it. and save the issue for. next years

Lower Armor Plate.
From the Boston Post.

from bOstUN IUst.
One of the officers of the steel trust
was in Washington the other day, ard in
reply to the allegation of a naval officer
that 9armor plate had been sold to the
italian government at lower figure than
was bid on a home contract said the
difference in price covered the freight
costs between the two countries. 1t being
necessary to carry the plate 1900 miles
to the point of delivery in Italy, whereas
the armor for American ships had been
placed on boats built in Philadelphia.
But what have freight costs to do with
the price received by the steel companies
They didn't pay them, and II they had,
their intake for arnlor plate would have
been even less.
AS an explanation why the Italian gov
ernment was given better terms than our
own this is pretty lame.
