The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1913-06-28


success before the country of the
measure now slowly moving on to the
place where 1t will receive the sigma
ture OF the president OF the United
States. All kinds of dire happenings
have been predicted II the present bill
and also all kinds OF supreme happi'
ness have been predicted II the bill
shall become the law.
The Democrats in house and senate.
or at least those OF them who at heart
are for the measure, say that II will
fulfil the souls desire OF the men and
the party who are responsible for Its
framing. The Republicans. and even
some OF the progressive Republicans.
say that the measure, IL IL passes,
means disaster. The Progressiyes. the
members OF the new party Din the
house and It's one member in the sen
ate. say that no tariff legislation
which can stand the real test ever
will be passed until business COM
mission is appointed to study condi-
tions and to make a report from
commercial standpoint upon what the
rates OF duty should be. These are
the varying Washington opinions on
the prospects for success or failure
OF the present tariff bill.
Quick Action a Dream.
II Is now getting we'll on toward the
second summer month. and the SEN
ate Is still at the tariff. President
Wilson hoped. and said he hoped.
that tariff legislation would be ready
for his signature by Independence
Day. Members and senator's said they
hoped the same thing. but 1t is def
nitely known that there were only
few OF them who had any thought
their hopes were to be realized. How
slow has tariff legislation dragged
along its course?? II has been no
slower this year than in the years
that are past. but I. was thought that
because OF the material which the
ways and means committee OF the
house and the finance committee OF
the senate had at their disposal. and
because OF the long drawnout discus
sions of recent years. this years ac-
ton might be expedited. II seems to
have been an elusive belief
II Is believed that before the SEN
ate gets through with the bill and
brings il to final vote. several SEN
ators will speak for two and three
which they think are particularly vital
to their constituents. Republicans
and Democrats alike say II Ia not
likely that any OF the long drawn out
speeches will change a single vote,
but il seemingly Is the intention OF
the senators. nevertheless, to speak at
length. President Wilson wants TO
go to Panama in August, and then he
wants to go to his recently leased
summer home in New Hampshire.
Some of the senators say that the
president will be lucky II he gets TO
Panama In September and to his New
Hampshire house in October, but then
this may be the very darkest view OF
the delay which is In store
Bob Wooiey's Job.
Some candidates for Office In Wash
ington have troubles to get positions,
even II the president OF the United
States is on their side and Is willing
to give them place. The senate oc-
casionally Is big stumbling block in
the path OF ambition
Robert X. Wooley wanted to be
made an assistant secretary OF the
treasury. and was not, but was given
the place OF auditor for the interior
department In the office which has
Franklin X. Lane as it's chief. Bob"
Wooley probably Is entirely satisfied
with his position, for It is a good one,
and he will perform its duties as we'll
as he has performed newspaper and
other duties in his time, which means
that he will do his work exceedingly

When the Wilson administration
came into being, Ii was understood
thoroughly that Wooley was TO be ap-
pointed as one of the assistants to
Mr. McAdoo In the treasury depart

this was the way of II. Some few
years ago Wooley wrote some maya.

complimentary to several United

still holding Office. 1t seemed TO be

a Senators Had Memories.
United States senators have memo
ries like other people. and skins thin

lieved that the long memoried, thin

The president apparently did not
want an appointment OF his rejected

the interior department, and as the
position Is not quite as prominent a
one as that for which the nominee or
iginally was slated, no senator appa
