Peters Summarizes
Work Of Congress
On Tariff Measure

Washington, Sept. -Representative
Andrew j. Peters, of Massachusetts,
the New England member of the Ways
and Means Committee, summarizes the
work of Congress in its tariff legisla-
ton as follows:
1.-The Tariff Bill, which accomplishes
a general revision of our import du-
ties, has, as you know, just been sent
to the House by the joint conference
committee and will shortly become a
law. We sought to lessen the cost
OF living by reductions of duties on
articles of daily consumption. Among
the articles placed on the free list
are: Beef, veal, bacon and hams,
pork, lamb and mutton, wheat, flour,
corn and cornmeal, milk, cream, eggs,
potatoes and fish.
"a worldwide food market will pre-
vent monopoly. Cornering the market
will be out of the question, and the
wage Garner will benefit by buying
his life necessities in open market.
Besides placing food products on
the free list the bill lowers the tax
on cotton cloth from AZ per cent to &c
per cent, on wooden cloth from 95 per
cent. to 85 per cent, and after three
years makes sugar free. Not only
have we taken off or lowered the tariff
on necessities of life, but we have
also given a big stimulus to industry
by removing the tariff from raw ma
teriaIs. The revenue lost by the re-
duction of duties is to be met by a
tax upon large incomes which will
effect more equitable distribution
of our Federal taxes
A big sham battle is to be held at
sea, off the Virginia capes, next month,
under the auspices of the Navy De-
partment and with President Wilson
and family, cabinet officers and per-
haps members of the House and Sem
ate committees on Naval Affairs as
spectators aboard the presidential
yacht, Mayfiower. The big batt1eship
fleet will be seen in action in the day
and at night. In the day time rapid
~ moving targets will represent the
enemy which will be pursued and sunk
with shots from the big IA inch guns.
The night naneuvers will consist of
repu1sing night attack of a torpedo
f1otil1a and submarine squadron.

Leadership and Christian Science
0 the Editor OF The Stal

To the Editor Of The Star:
In Wednesdays issue of The Star ap-
peared a dispatch from New York as
sorting that there is dissension and
threatened division in the Christian
Science Church over the claim of Mrs.
Augusta f. Stetson of New York to
leadership. Permit me to say that so
far as the Christian Science Church in
Washington is concerned. this New York
report has no application. There are
no Christian Scientists in Washington
who are in sympathy with Mrs. Stet-
sons ambition. 1 am also in close
touch with the affairs of the Mother
Church in Boston, and have heard of
no concern on the part of the church
authorities there over any claims that
Mrs. Stetson may make.
The cause of Christian Science does
not depend on personal leadership. as
the recent history of the movement
shows Christian Science is simply an
Interpretation of Bible truths along diff
ferent lines from former interpretations
This Interpretation was made by Mrs.
Eddy. and fully set forth in her work.
Science and Health. with Key to the
Scriptures" This is the recognized text
of which each Christian Scientist ap-
plies individually. For the more per-
rect government of the church body Mrs.
Eddy also formulated set of rules
known as the Manual of the Mother
Church" This book is easily accessible
to all Christian Scientists, and this
precludes any opportunity for personal
dictation or dominatio
In the text book before mentioned, on
page 462, Mrs Eddy has stated that the
true understanding of Christian Science
teaches the control of mad ambition"
Those who profess to be Christian
Scientists and have not learned this
lesson will fail in any effort for leader
ship, for the reason: first, that they are
not Christian Scientists. and, second. be-
cause there is no place in the Christian
Science movement for personal leader
ship. WILLIAM S. CAMPBELL
