FRANCE is ANXIOUS.
Worried Over Tariff Effect on Exist
ing Treaties.

Washington April 25.-Throug n
-Ambassa dor Jusserand here the
French government has called the at
tention Of the state department to the
probable effect upon existing treaties
of the new tariff bill. Anxiety has
been caused in France by several OF
the administrative clauses of the new
bill. especially those Obliglng mer-
chants to show their books and papers.
In France decision of tribunal is
indispensable TO compel any man to
do 50. The clause in favor of Ameri-
can shipping also is a source OF APP
prehension. 1t is pointed out to the
state department that such rules have
been abolished in France as elsewhere,
as entailing retaliation.
Washington. April 25.-With only
three more days left for general de-
bate on the underwood tariff bill in
the house the prospect today was that
the measure would pass the house and
go to the senate during the first week
of MAY. Majority Leader Underwood
has given notice that general debate
on the bill will close when the house
adjourns Monday night.
Tuesday the bill Will be called up
under the five-minute rule for reading
and amendment. At that time it is the
purpose of the ma iority to fix some
limitation on amendments to ha stem
the bill along. this to guard against
filibustcr. Representative J. Hampton
Moore for the Republicans and Repre-
Democrats W-re leaders in the debate
today RepresentatiV Moore introduced
a novelty and for the first time in the
history of congress SO far as known
speech on the tariff was delivered by
the reading of questions from the
speakers rostrum and the delivery of
replies from the floor.
Mr.. Moore sent to the desk a set of
queries which the clerk propounded
When was he first tariff act
passed - asked the clerk
The first act pa ssed was a tariff
act replied Mr.. Moore.
1t was approved by President Wash
ington July a. 1889 and was regarded
as an American declaration of COM
mercial Independence"
What do you mean by the Under
wood bilI?''
The bill introduced by Chairman
Underwood. the exponent in the house
of the theories of President Wilson"
WAS the r~-ly. And so the questions
and answers ran on.
Mr.. Moore charged the Democrats
with continually misrepresenting the
tariff question
Representative Palmer declared the

WAS THE INQUIRY PROPER

We submit that esteemed contemporary the Wa

vestigation of the Hurley bribery charges.
The inquiries into the of WaTrenite all grow nat
Irally out of the developments in the bribery
49, Senator Hurley says that somebody tried to bride
him Other witnesses testify to the effect. The
person the who made the attempt is
to be agent for Warren Bros. There no reason
why this person. purely upon his private account
should have had any such interest in Senator Hurley
legitimate for the committee into that
relation to Warren Bros and into therrel to
highway department.
When it discovered that within eight months the
highway department had let contracts valued at
for material which had been laid on margin af
fordng very high profit there certainly every rea
and necessity for going deeply possible that
matter
Without in the least asserting that there any
relation between the attempt bride Senator Hurley and
those valuable contracts it surely is true that the desire
to obtain continuation of such favors might powerful
the minds of those to whom they granted that
such desire might be adequate motive to stimulate
most extraordinary to keep the highway
missioner office The inquiry form which it has
taken, is necessary well within the scope of the
duties entrusted to the committee It may that no at
tempt made to bride Senator Hurley may be that
these contracts above suspicion It the duty

for trying to settle the doubt

oADwELn DEFEATED
(Bristol Press.o

The name of the next highway COM
missioner will not be Caldwell. The
Senate so decides, five democrats plac-
ing their private plans above the en-
phaticaIIy expressed wishes of the
people who elected them. That is one
way to play the political game. That
is Senator Landers' way, but it is not
the way to retain the confidence of
voters, who are in no mood to stand
for trades, schemes or trickery of any
sort. They demand consistency and
adherence to their wishes. Indepen-
dence, real independence is a fine
quality, but it must not be confound-
ed or obscrred by placing personal
dfslikes and plans over public well
fare or the known wishes of voters.
Mr.. Caldwell is defeated, but that by
no means spells victory for Mr.. Mac
Donald. Connecticut will ere long
have a new highway. commissioner in
spite of scheming politicians who care
far more for their own interests than
for the good of the State.

THE WORDS WE SPELL.

fEverybody's interested in spelling,
and there's always something new to
be learned about it, said DR.. P. p.
Claxton, United States Commissioner of
Education, when shown a report that
present-day spelling books were given
rather a severe jolt by Leonard P.
Ayres, of the Russell Sage Foundation,
on the ground that they do not con-
tain words most useful for practical
purposes.
DIR. Ayres has examined 1000 bust
ness and personal letters and tabulat-
ed words actually used in them. He
compares the words he finds and
those in the usual school spelling lists
with surprising results. Thus of the
Ala words on the National Education
Associations spelling lists used in the
Cleveland tests of 1908, 289 never
once appear in any of the 1000 let
tiers, showing, according to DR.. Ayres,
chat useful spelling lists can not be
compiled, by sitting at the desk and
deciding which words people ought to
know how to speH.''
An astonishing poverty of vocabu-
larry was recalled by the investiga-
ton. Only 2,0O1 separate words were
discovered in the $4,000 tabu1ated.
and 751 of these appeared but once.
In fact, 43 words occurred SO fire.
quently as to make up half the total
number. and 542 common words con-
stituted seven-eighths of the aggre-
gate.
''How limited this number Isl says
DR.. Ayres, becomes most apparent
when it is considered that the ordin-
airy desk dictionary contains from
10000 to $4,000 separate words, while
small pocket dictionaries contain from
5000 to 100000 He points out
that the average American does not
even begin to make use of the words
he learns in the elem entary grades in
school, for the elementary school
spelling books contain from 10000 to
$1,000 separate words. The exp1ana
porari1y master for spelling purposes
coed to forget as soon as they pass
he suggests an extended investigation
to determine just what words are most
needed for ordinary use, to the end
that really fundamental list may be
taught SO thoroughly as never to be
forgotten. Such "a list, he thinks
would then furnishea sound. basis for
increase in vocabulary.
The correspondence examined by
DR.. Ayres was of various kinds, in
Guiding letters to a mail-order house:
letters received by physician; LEFT
ters to the query department of city
newspaper; letters received by a law
yer: letters to teachers from parents
of pupils; miscellaneous letters to
Publishing house; family letters; and
even 'ta small but varied collection of
love letters"
