Washington, DC. (Special)-Senator
Simmons opening speech for the Dem
ocrats on the tariff bill in the Senate
saturday was not only a formal argu-
r,ent for the bill as a whole, but the
senator Incorporated in it what is con-
Oidered a complete answer to the
charges made in speeches earlier in
the week by Republican senators
that the passage of the bill would he
+bp perpetration of an outrage upon the
farmers of the country. He showed
that no single class of men haze been
more especially favored in the framing
nj the bill than the farmers.
"When the national convention of
the two great political parties met in
1908" began Senator Simmons, "they
we're confronted with this overwheIm-
ing demand for relief from a tariff
bill that had been framed in the
interest of privileges, and which.
while enormously augmenting the
wealth and power of the few,
restricted the opportunities of the
many. and advanced the cost of liv-
ing beyond the income not only of the
average man but of the moderately
thrifty and well-to-dO.
The Democratic response to these
complaints and demands was u~nreserv-
ed and unequfvOcal.
The response of the Republican
party, while not so specific. was ac-
cepted by the country as a pledge to
substantially lower tariff duties and to
remedy the evils complained of at
least to the extent of limiting the
power of combinations and of the pro-
tected Industries to arbitrarily fix
prices by admitting competition from
the outside, when prices here were
raised above the margin of a fair
profit.
I'm the election of that year the
party was successful, elect
ing the President and a majority in
both branches of Congress. Feigning
to redeem these pledges, the RepubI1-
can Congress of 1909 passed the So
called Payne-Aldrich bill, re-enactins
IN effect the Dingley law, with a few

find a basis of action which would I'M
tax the necesssaries of life as far as
is consistent with the revenue needs
OF the Government, which would lay
the heaviest burdens upon the luxuries
Of the rich, and which would impose
upon those things which were neither
prime necessities nor luxuries and
which were proper subjects of tariff
taxation a rate sufficiently competi-
tive to yield revenues adequate to
meet the needs of the government on
the n hand and on the other oper-
ate as a regulation of domestic prices
by making outside competition at all
times possible.
"In the analysis which / propose to
make of the bill, it is not nay purpose
to discuss, except incidentally, the
tariff question, nor the House bill, u
to confine myself chiefly to the amend
ments proposed by the Finance COM
raittee to the House bill, and l shall
only discuss the more important OF
these changes"
Chairman Simmons proceeded here
to discuss briefly, in order:
Schedule A.-Chemicals. cOlOrs and
dye stuffs, creosote oil.
dSp0d1Ls
Schedule C.-Iron ore, ferroman-
ganese, etc.
The wool schedule, flax, hemp and
jute, cotton, etc.
On these the senator pointed out
the changes made by the Finance COM
mittee and the reasons therefor.
These all have been published from
day to day during the several weeks
the bill has been under consideration
by the committee of which Senator
Simmons is chairman.
Senator Simmons then took up the
subject of agriculture and the farmer
and said:
Agriculture and Farmer.
"It is charged that this bill deals
unfairly with the farmer. There Is no
foundation Of this charge. q
SIN 1911 We passed the so-called
reciprocity agreement with Canada,
giving to many of the products of the
Canadian farmer free entrance into
our markets.

worth retaining.

81 know nothing of the result of the
conference at Old Point Comfort be-
tween representatives of the railroads
and the corporation commission ex-
cept what l have seen in today's pa
rers," declared Governor Craig last
right. when asked for an expression
concerning the ending of the confer
once between the railroads and the
corporation commission.
81 have always earnestly desired
that the differences between the peo-
PIE of North Carolina and the rail-
roads might be amicably adjusted, !"
continued the governor. eff they be not
adjusted before the meeting Of the
general assembly, I feel sure that the
general assembly will take vigorous
action to remedy, in some measure,
the injustice that the people of the
state have suffered by discrimination
against them in freight rates.
Whenever Mr.. Travis, as chairman
of the corporation commission, shall
submit to me any basis of settlement
/ shall carefully consider the same
and pass upon it after mature delib-
Grafton. This is a matter of the high
est importance. 1t affects the welfare
of all the people of the State. 1t has
received the attention of the men
of the state most interested in our
prosperity.
"a public sentiment has been
aroused that demands the just settle
ment of this question of great signifi-
cence; a settlement just to the rail
roads and just to the people.
81 am ready to leave for Raleigh
at any time that my presence may be
demanded by this matter" said Gov
ernor Craig, in conclusion. Nothing
shall delay it or be in the way, so far
as / am concerned"

Fall Tournament of Atlantic
City Country Club Opens
Today at Northfield.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., October 30.-
One hundred and forty entries have been
received for the annual fall golf tourna-
ment of the Country Club OF Atlantic
City, the qualifying round of which is be-
ing played at Mortified today. The en-
try list contains the names OF some OF
the best known golfers in and around
Philadelphia.
Walter j. Travis has again entered,
and it is more than probable that he will
duplicate his success of last year, when
he carried off the governors cup. in spite
of the strong field he will have oppos-
ing him.
Five sixteens will qualify. the first fol-
the governors cup. the second for the
presidents cup, the third for the Allan
tic City cup. the fourth for the North
field cup and the fifth for the Absecor
cup.
In addition, there will be gold media
for the player having the lowest score In
the qualifying round. runner-up cups iI
each sixteen and prizes for the defeated
efghts In each sixteen. The course al
Mortified is in splendid condition.

When New York purchased Maisel from
the Baltimore club there was some sur
prise expressed that Connie Mack, who
really owns that club, would allow SO val
liable a player to slip through his fingers.
Now. according to New York critics.
Mack admits that he erred in allowing
the deal to be made. for he figures that
MaiSel would have been just the man for
third base and he would have been en-
abled to shift Baker to the outfield.
Whether Mack is really of this opinion
or whether the New York scribes are
using this story merely to boost Maisel

Herrmann's opposition to F'ultz is point

mission and Tom Lynch was an out
slider when he was chosen to break the
deadlock in the old league.
There seems to be a misunderstanding
as to which club will have Macon as its
training ground next season. The Cleve-
land club announced the other day that
it would do its preliminary work at
Macon. and now comes George Stallings
with the statement that his Braves would
train there, that all arrangements had
been made for the grounds and hotel ac-
commodatfons. The case may be taken
to the commission for settlement.

When the last season ended there were
reasons for believing that there would
be several changes in the management
of National League clubs. 'Bilr' Dahlen,
1t was limited, was through at Brooklyn.
while there were rumors that Garry
Hermann was looking for a successor
to "Joe" Tinker. But the chances now
are that for the first time in many years
there will be no changes made in the
management of any OF the old league
teams.
Ebbetts has about decided to retain
Dahlen. while Hermann has about con-
yinced himself that Tinker is entitled to
another chance So far as the other
teams are concerned. there was never
any question about their retaining their
leaders.
After Hickey succeeded Stovan in st.
Louis no other changes were contem-
plated in the American League. The
Johnson circuit has never indulged In
many changes in the managerial end OF
its teams though Boston and st. Louis
were active in this respect last season.
Under the management OF George Stall
ings the Boston National League clup
was a financial success last season Tor
the first time In many years. IL Is re-
ported that the club cleared more than
$50. 600, a remarkable showing In view ol
the fact that it is playing on very smail
grounds at home. Owner Gaffney intends

According to Owner Gaffney of the
Boston club there Is not a possible
chance OF Stallings trading Tyler for
MarQuard. Gaffney makes the following
pertinent remarks with reference to the
report:
''Stallings would not think Of making
such deal. Tyler is a clean-living. en-
ergetic young man. who will be one OF
the greatest pitchers in the league next
season. He has worked hard for Stall

Eastern Highs representative in the

| time tomorrow. The Light Blue and
White will line up against Business. and
it will meet with test right at the start
which should prove its true merits. If
Business can be defeated, then 1t will
be an inevitable conclusion that the boys
from Capitol Hill will be in the running
for the championship.
just what kind of team Eastern has
is not definitely known. 1t has played
more practice games than any of the
other school elevens, but these do not
give a very good line on the ability Of
one of the high school aggregations.
Eastern has managed to show a defense
in its practice contest much above the
average, though 1t is questionable If 1t
has evidenced as great offensive strength
as one or two of the others. There is
no question, though, about the grit and
sticking ability of the teams which have
represented the Capitol Hill school. They
have played games in the last few years
against much stronger and more expert
enced elevenS, and yet have managed to
show exceptionally well because of great
er aggressiveness of every player. If
Eastern defeats Business there will be
will not be the least question about its
ability to. give the best teams in the

Newt Brewer, who has been one of
Georgetown's dependable sprinters for

there is little doubt that he will make a
good man to head the team during the

Moore, Gallaudet's captain and quar-
terback, will not be in the game against
Western Maryland this week. The
youngster hurt his shoulder in practice
SO badly that he will not even be taken

Gallaudet is not likely to make near
the showing without Moore that it would

runner on the squad, and has greater
ability to run his team well than any
other man who may be played in his
place. F'oltz, who has been taken from

make good showing, but the end he
