Mr.. Tafts stay in Augusta is to be
one of rare pleasure, but of little, if
any. show. The city has put at his
disposal one of the most comfortable
residences in the fashionable Sand

await his every call. He will be ac-
companied by his wife, his daughter,
Miss Helen Taft, his secretary, Mr..

AS a result of a conference which 1t
committee of the Savannah Chamber of
Commerce held with Joseph r. Gray,
vice president and executive officer, it
is thought likely that he viii withdraw
his resignation and give over his in
tention of removing to Atlanta
Mr.. Gray gives as one reason for his
resignation, and probably the main one,
the difficulty of discharging his duties
as a railroad commissioner, which re-
quires his presence weekly in Atlanta,
and as executive officer of the Savan-
nah chamber at the same time.
The committee, however, takes the
ground that Mr., Gray has discharged
his duties heretofore to the satisfaction
of all concerned, and it therefore was
urged upon him that it is his duty to
carry on the work he has conducted so
successfully in Savannah"
1t is believed these arguments have
had their effect and that Mr.. Gray
may consent to remain in Savannah
Gwinnett county has applied to the
prison commission for permission to
divide its present convict gang Of SO
into five squads, to be worked stimuli

The commissioners, who appeared be-

the matter, believe the convicts may be
worked in the county to much better
advantage in that way. even if the ex-
pense is somewhat greater.

Without Pamperlna.

The Star quoted yesterday from a
Texas sheepowner who said that II
congress was going to put wool and
mutton on the free list the sheep men
were going. to have to change their
way of raising sheep. That is, the
tariff would enforce efficiency.
The same principle has emerged In
connection with the California citrus
fruit growers. When they found they
couldn't swerve the determination OF
congress to cut the duties, one OF the
growers spoke up at conference at
Washington and said: II guess there's
nothing fer us to do except to make
economies in production and distri'
button"
There are lot of pampered indus
tries in the United States that have
assumed they couldn't live without the
tariff. They are going to find that
they can get on all right If they will
conduct their business efficiently

TELLING Their Dreams.

Attacks in the senate on the Under
wood tariff bill prove that the stand,
patter of today, like the Bourbon OF
old, forgets nothing and learns moth
ing.
Senators like Smoot can not forget
that there was time when the in
terests" controlled every department
of government at Washington: and
they can not learn that that day Is
over. They maunder on, reciting the
time dishonored patter Of tariff takers
for two generations, pleading for q
board of experts" bewailing the as
sault on our infant industries fully
persuaded that If they yammer long
enough the nation will reverse its
twice repeated demand for tariff re-
vision and return the old guard to
power.
If the standpatters did not insist on
telling their dreams on the nations
time. one might almost feel sorry
for them.

TARIFF COMES FIRST
Most important Matter Now Be.
fore the Country.
With Real Chance to End the Long
Sway of Inlquitous Lobbyists,
Attention of Voters Must Con-
centrate on Measure.

Don't get 80 interested In the Mex
lean crisis that you forget the tariff
bill now pending N the United States
senate That would be bad politics
and worse sense.
The tariff now in force-the Adrich
LAWS the perfect fruit of half a
century of vicious lobbying. 1t costs
American consumers not less than
$4,000, ,0O0, ,OO0-two thousand million
dollars-per year. OF this sum, about
one-seventh goes into the national
treasury; the rest goes to trusts.
The present tariff has bred labor
crushers like the steel. trust, short
weight thieves like the sugar trust,
and a whole brood Of bloated mag.
mates who claim the right to tax the
American people for the benefit OF a
clique of protected" manufacturers
It has created and still maintains the
most iniquitous lobby that ever work
ed to thwart the will Of free people.
The Underwood bill is the first
hopeful attempt since the Civil war
to revise the tariff In the interests OF
the whole people. 1t is the first
promising effort to end graft which
has grown up through two careless
generations. It will pass If the Amer
lean people keep their eye on 1t, and
demand that their verdict rendered al
the elections OF 1912 be carried into
effect. If the people turn aside to
chase rainbows or frecrackers, the
bill is likely to be talked TO death by
leather-lunged champions of privilege
or to be filled with jokers that lessen
or destroy its usefulness.
it is important to end the regime
of anarchy south Of the Rio Grande
but it is yet more important to have
done with invisible government" and
licensed robbery at home. Keep your
eye on the tariff bill.

New and Cleaner Era Dawning.

The New England textile barons
have extorted enormous fortunes from
the working people of the United
States by tariff privileges. When the

The Mulhall confessions and the

Searching criticism. If non-partisan
and competent. will be welcomed.
But as to essentials the sooner an
agreement is reached the better for
Industry and commerce. the better for
national prosperity and stability. The
time has come to endeavor to evolve
satisfactory compromise and waive
minor differences. The time has come
to take a forward step and think
