A BRIEF TARIFF MESSAGE

One thing about President Wilson's inaugural
address that was commended by everybody was its
orevy Whether it said things with which one agreed
or disagreed, it took very few words to say them;
and this has been very unusual with papers coming
out of the White House.
Ii is now intmated that like his inaugural ad-
dress, Mr. Wilson's special message to the extra ses-
sion Of Congress WILL for document such SUBJ
ect as the tariff, be extraordinarily short 1t may
be within thousand or twelve hundred words.
Perhaps on other subject have the administra-
tive and legislative branches of the Government ex-
pended so many gallons of ink and tons of paper
the tariff If if really is to be proved that Chief
Magistrate of the Nation call Congress together
in special session, can urge upon it complete re-
vision of the tariff maybe can even tell Congress
how the revision ought to be made-if all this can
be done as to the tariff on few sheets of paper,
then it is possible that comparatively un;mportant
matters which hitherto have taken books md almost
volumes for their official presentation may De chopped
down to paragraphs and sentences
A reform like that would be welcome.

deed we're at large

The one cry for vengeance, the satisfaction of
societys right to protect herself by taking life for
life. To that end, detectives posses, militia secured
the mountains of the Virginia boundary in search for
the fugitives. There was during those early days
no thought of legal technicalities. The men were
sef-convicted outlaws. Their apprehension was i'm
perative; so imperative that the State of Virginia
was offering thousands Of dollars to any who wouo
bring them in dead or alive-executed not yet
executed.
year and fourteen days later society winds up
its account with them. This is the record: One
dismissed acquittal, six convictions; four
of the latter being for murder in the second degree
only and resulting in prison sentences for various
terms. Only two of the entire gang are held worthy
of the ultimate penalty
Not many will contend that this has not been a
notable triumph. The mountain outlaws of Virginia
