Gus.
On the tariff. and on many other
questions, the Progressives and Pre-
gressive Republicans may be expected
to stand and vote together. They will
undoubtedly oppose any general idea
of tariff for revenue only, and will
demand retention of the principle of
protection. They will also try "a
force a record vote on the proposi-
ton of establishing a permanent ex-
/ pert, non-partisan tariff commission
to determine the cost of production in
this country and abroad, as the meas
ure of protection that should be given
III various industries.
While neither President Wilson nor
the Democratic majority in the House
is likely to insist upon a literal ad-
herence to the declaration of tina
Democratic platform that a protec-
tive tariff Is unconstitutional, it is not
expected that the majority party
will agree to any recognition Of the
principle of tariff protection as such.
What differences there are between
Democratic protectionists, free trad
ers and revenue tariff advocates, will
be fought out in Democratic caucus.
and if possible the party will be kept
united on the tariff program.
The program of the administration
and the Democratic leaders In thu
House is to prevent consideration of
anything other than tariff legislation
until that is disposed of by the simple
system of not appointing any COM
mittees in the House, so that there
will be no other bills reported for con.
sideration. In the Senate, however.
the committees are all created and
organized, and ready for business.
1t will take several weeks, at all
events, for the House to get the first
of the tariff bills to the Senate, and
in this interval there Is no way Of
preventing the Senate from taking up
other subjects, if they can be got out
of committee.
It is certain. too. that strong pres
sure will be brought to bear to get
other business before the Senate be-
fore the tariff bills get to that body
The currency question, Panama canal
tolls, woman suffrage, exemption Of
labor unions and farmers organiza-
tions from the antitrust act, work.
mems compensation, shorter hours
and minimum wages for women, and
q number of other big questions, are
among those which may be forced
before the Senate at the special ses-
sion, with a lot of advocates for each
of the topics mentioned.

The pen slipped from Langham's
fingers to the desk.
Look here. I don't want to discuss
North or his affairs with you. It's

"As his friend" began Gilmore.

"Oh, you are respectable enough,

He seemed vastly relieved at the
turn the conversation had taken. He
leaned bacl, in his chair and thrust
his hands in his trousers pockets.

"Better!'' said Langham, laughing.
"Well, what's the matter with it,

''There's a good deal of it some

the lawyer.

When Japan amazed the western
world by crushing the armies and
fleets of Russia she proved that the
little brown men who had been pic
tured as artistic and interesting but
childish in their kite-fiying and their
holidays for the plum blossoms and
the wistaria, and effeminate in their
fondness for fans and dainty little
such as modern times had scarcely
known. 1t is difficult to say whether
the occident was most astonished by
the military science and skill of the
Japanese commanders or the absolute
contempt for death which the rank
and file of the japanese armies
showed when they We're called upon
to hazard their lives in their country's
service.
Then there was no questioning of
the old doctrine that it was glorious
thing and a high privilege to die for
the Emperor. Then widows who were
mothers of soldiers calmly killed
themselves that their sons might not
be tempted to think too much of the
need of living for their mothers sake.
And when the news came to a little
hamlet that one of its boys, who had
gone into the army had been slain
in battle everyone made festival on
account of the honor which had be-
| fallen the community and his parents
were congratulated earnestly because
they had been permitted to give so
much to their country.

many to learn that the minimum

If you let him tell 1t. In the Senate
there is almost general acceptance
by the Republicans, even by such
senators as Penrose, Lodge and

years repudiated by his own party
as dangerous radical. is now looked
upon by members OF the minority as
tfeir best hope for coming back into
power, and regardless of what they
may really think of him personally
or of his ideas of politics and gov
