WASHINGTON, Sept s.--The admin

Chairman Glass.
A voiuminous report, including a
lengthy technical discussion OF the

sented a report from the Republicans

changes which will correct the long

steered through the senate with SO
slender a party majority behind IT.
Not before in thistime has so slender

The Democratic majority in the
senate deserves a vote of confidence
and Generalization from the Amer
lean people. 1t has done what the
party set out to do. 1t has helped the
house revise the tariff downward.
1t is a great party victory that has
been won, but 1t is infinitely more than
a great party victory. 1t is a great
public victory. 1t is a great victory
for responsible, representative gov
eminent, and Ii ought to give the
American people new faith In the in
tegrity of their institutions.

Press-A large majority OF the
American people will rejoice that Mr.
wilson's tariff bill has at last passed

Of the election last November meant

WASHINGTON, Sept. o.
The Underwood Simmons
tariff bill passed the senate
late this afternoon by a vote
of Al to 81. 1t went through
carrying all the features for
which President Wilson has
contended-free wool, free SUI
gar, free meats, and greatly re-
duced duties on all of the
necessaries of life. The result
was a great personal victory
or Woodrow Wilson, and to-
night he was showered with
messages of congratulation.
The bill now goes to con-
ference between the two
houses, and ten days, it is ex-'
pected, will see final action on
this important measure, which
already ha sdragged itself
along five months.
The vote in the senate today
was big with political posi-
bilities. Two Republicans, La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, and
Poindexter, of Washington,
voted for the Democratic bill.
Only two Democrats, Thorn
ton and Ransdell, of Louisiana,
failed to stand by the caucus
pledge. They voted with most
of the Republicans against
the measure.
:. Status of La Toilette.
Many Republicans contend
ed that by his action today
La Toilette had removed HIM
self from the Republican party,
and had forfeited any chance
he may have had for nomina-
ton for the presidency. No
body was certain what La Fol-
lette's plans are. Some Re-
publicans believed his action
today meant that he is prepa-
ing to lead an independent
fight of his own, while others
were confident that he was get
ting ready to jump into the
Democratic fold. His isolation
was still further emphasized
by an obvious break today be-
tween him and Senator Cum
minis, one of the Republican
progressives.

Why Canada is Glad.

One Of the most interesting Of the
sidelghts thrown on the negotiable Of
the Underwood bill comes from the
manufactured oats industry.
The new tariff schedule provides for
an import duty of 10 cents q bushel on
raw oats. but admits manufactured oats
free. One OF the largest manufactur-
ers OF breakfast foods puts the case in
this fashion:
'The American manufacturer OF oats
products will have to compete with the
Canadian manufacturer. but Is denied
the privilege Of securing his supply ut
the same price as the Canadian manu-.
facturer.
"To make this clearer. the Canadian
rolled oats manufacturer. buying his
raw material at IL cents less than the
American manufacturer. will ship his
manufactured product into tho United
States, and In order to compete. the A.
merican manufacturer. being unable to
import the raw material from Canada
on account Of the protective tariff Of 10
cents per bushcl, will be compelled to
buy from the American farmer Mt n
price upon which he can compete. which
win mean that the American farmer
will have TO sell his oats ut price 10
cents per bushel lower than the price Of
oats In. Canada to make up tho difference
IN price caused by the tariff"
Some American rolled oats manufae-
turers now have mills In Canada. and
no doubt others will follow. The Cana.
dian farm and manufacturing interests
should prosper exceedingly Under the
ntw tariff measure. No doubt Canada
