POOR SUPPORT FOR RUDE

The Giants were beaten on their own
grounds yesterday and the Reds and the
Pirates kept them company. The Loeb
invar Cardinals came out of the West
and swatted the Giants, and the Reds and
Pirates lost to the Bostons and Phillies
respectively. In view OF the last named
happenings the local cloud had a silver
lining. The Cubs trimmed the Brooklyns.
and all Of the games were one sided.

The Underwood Tariff.

Speaking at the Jefferson dollar din
ner' eaten at Cleveland Saturday night,
Speaker Clark said of the Underwood
tariff: 1T is the best. in my. Judgment.
ever put on the statute books
This was intended. and will operate,
as keynote. No democratic spellbinder
when referring to the tariff in the coming
contest for control of the next House
will say less.
1t will be remembered that President
Taft declared in a public speech very
soon after the enactment of the Payne
law that that measure was the best
tariff ever put on the statute books. At
the next election, however. the country
did not agree with him. The Payne law
was condemned and for the first time
in sixteen years the democrats captured
the House. When Mr.. Clark took the
Speakers chair it had not been; occupied
by a democrat since the days of Charlie 8
+. Crisp.
The Payne law was condemned on two
grounds. % 1t was not a revision down
ward, as the republicans had promised.
and C2) it had not reduced the high cost
of living. There was no quarrel with
the measure on the score of its revenue
producing quality. 1t showed full ca
pacity to support the government in good
style
The Underwood law today is criticised
by its opponents on two grounds. d) It
has not reduced the high cost of living.
and (2) it is not producing revenue
enough to support the government. That
it is a revision downward is a fact con-
fessed.
This is April. and the voters will not
express themselves at the polls until No
vember. Before election day one change
may take place. The revenues may pick
up The monthly deficit so far recorded
may give place to monthly surplus
But it is reasonably certain that no
appreciable change will take place in
the direction of Lower cost Of living.
AS the Payne law was not responsible
for the high cost Of living. its revision
downward could not possibly affect that
matter. Prices, on the contrary. have
been rising since the Underwood law was
passed. and in some things are soaring.
1t cannot be stated at this time how
prominently the tariff will figure in this
falls campaigns. 1t may be overshadowed
by other questions. The canal tolls, the
Colombia treaty. the Mexican question,
the currency question are full of possi-
bilities in the way of campaign ma
terial But to the extent that the tariff
does figure there is certain to be a sharp
challenge of the Speakers eulogy Of the
Underwood law spoken at Cleveland.

The recent action of the Secretary of

ficiency record of employees Of this de-
partment shall not be adversely affected
by reason of leave Of absence from de-
partmental duty for field service with the
organized militia ought to put at rest a
question which has long disturbed the

and which has to a certain degree
caused perplexity in the minds of the
heads of several Of the bureaus and
chiefs of division in that department

The Children's Bureau.

The House of Representatives did the
proper and the handsome thing in voting
the increase of s139.OOO asked for in be-
half of the children's federal bureau.
This bureau. which is already OF impor-
tance. and is potentially one of the most
important of the government agencies,
has been running along on the small an
nual appropriation of S25.OdO. The i'm
creased appropriation, on the representa-
ton of Miss Lathrop, was asked for by
the Secretary of Labor. The committee
on appropriations of the House did not
islative executive and judicial appropria-
tion bill, not that the proposal was viewed
unsympathetieally by the members of
that committee, but that because they be-
lieved that the increase if Incorporated in
the bill would be subject to a point OF
order and that point Of order would be
made against il. An amendment carrying
the increase was offered in the House
snd adopted by a large vote. 1t Is pro-
posed by the children's bureau that it
largely extend its work, one phase of
this extension being in the direction Of
educating mothers In the proper care of
children with the view of reducing in
fan. mortality. All authorities agree that
infant mortality in the United States is
far higher than 1t need be. and that the
inexperience and Incompetence of many
mothers are responsible for the large and
saddening loss. The action of the House
in carrying out the recommendation of
the Secretary of Labor. and in providing
so far as 1t could for an increased ap-
preparation for the bureau, was proper
one in view of the circumstances.

the law as favoring to the utmost degree
the government clerk who attaches him
self to the organized militia"
This dispute has broken out and has
generated more or less heat under nu-
merous administrations. The act Of
Congress approved March l, 1880, pro-
vided that all officers and employees Of
the United States and of the District
of Columbia who are members of the
National Guard shall be entitled to leave
of absence from their respective duties.
without loss of pay of time, ON all days
of any parade or encampment. ordered
or authorized under the provisions of
this act" and the act of Congress ap-
proved July /. 1902, provided that sec
ton 40 of an act to provide for the
organization of the militia OF the District
of Columbia approved March L. 1889.
shall be construed as covering all days
of service which the National Guard or
any portion thereof may be ordered to
perform by the commanding general
In 1896 the quest on was submitted by
the Treasury Department to the Attorney
General of the United States. and At
torney General Harmon on May 23 in
that year rendered an opinion that the
granting OF military leave by the civil
departments to their militia employees
was not optional or discretionary. but
that the law was mandatory.
\ conflict over the same question, which
i was believed had been settled. arose
in June. 1872. between the National
Guard ana one of the Treasury bureaus.
and in adjusting the dispute Secretary
Franklin MacNeagh wrote: Il agree that
the statute relating to the militia is
mandatory. l would suggest. however,
that. as = matter OF administrative pro-
priety not inconsistent with the conten-
ton and purpose of the statutes. reason
able notice. when practicable. ought TO
be given of Il proposed order. SO that any
Inconvenience Of como:iance may be OBJ
Waited as far as possible In the sum-
Iner OF 192 i dispute arose over the
intent of the law between National Guard
officers and the administrative head of
the Washington navy yard. and which
dispute was settled by the Secretary of
the Navy in way satisfactory to the
guard.
The importance of tip National Guard
is always understood by men with his
torical perspective and with an eye to
the future, and its Importance comes
into high relief in the understanding of
the entire nation when national emer-
gencies arise or impend. The value of
a large body of civilians disciplined in
the prompt and willing obedience to
orders and in the use of arms, and led
by men who have proved their quality of
military leadership so far as this can be
proved in peace. cannot be overestimated.
The lessons of the past and the lessons
of today are that the National Guard
should be built up in numbers and i'm
proved in efficiency by all reasonable
means within the power of the govern
ment and the people.
