President Wilson's announcement in
his Indianapolis speech that the trade

be used as tariff commission at
tracted deep interest at the Capitol
yesterday.
The Presidents statement was news
to democrats as we'll as to republicans.
Inquiry developed that those democrat

who had most to do with the framing
and enactment of the trade commission
bill were not aware of the determine
ton of the President to have the COM
mission handle the tariff. so far as in
vestigation goes. The possibility of
making use of the commission in this
way was not mentioned in the debates
of either branch of the legislative body
when the bill was under consideration.
Presidents View Accepted.
Both democrats and republicans ad-

trade in this country. but upon the
conditions of trade. the cost of manu-
facture, the cost of transportation-all
the things that enter into the question
of the tariff-in foreign countries as
well as in the United States, and into
all those questions of foreign combina
tfon which affect international trade
between Europe and the United States
The Presidents Indianapolis declara-
tion means, public men said yesterday
that as soon as the trade commission
shall be appointed he will instruct it
to give attention to the tariff. as we'll
as to the other subjects which, under
the law, 1t is to take up.
Several weeks ago the republicans
started propaganda in favor of the
creation of 4 tariff commission. Bills
have already been introduced provid-
ing for such a commission by the re-
publican leader in the Senate, Senator
Galllnger. and the republican leader in
the House of Representatives, Mr.
Mann.
The democrats have within recent
weeks. held many cloakroom confer
ences, in which the advisability of ia
cussed. Representative Moss Of the
fifth Indiana district only the other
day introduced 4 bill, at the request
of a large number of democratic rep
resentatiVes, providing for the crea-
ton of commission.
Reference to Tariff Problems.
Now comes the President with the
declaration that the country has q
tariff commission, or, to be exact. a
trade commission clothed with ample
authority to do the things which
would be intrusted to an Independent
tariff commission.
One of the interesting questions dis
cussed in connection with the Presi-
dents Indianapolis declaration witt
respect to the tariff is whether the
trade commission, which in all prob
ability will be appointed next week
will be instructed Immediately to look
into the alleged inequalities of the
present tariff. 1t is insisted in some
quarters that certain industries
especially sugar, have been seriously
crippled by the new tariff. The atti-
tude of the administration has been all
along that if any industry could show
that it was actually being hurt {
remedy would be found.
So it is assumed that the trade COM
mission will be instructed by the
President to hear complaints of the
operations of the present tariff. to con
duct Investigations and to report tt
the Congress it's findings in specific
cases, with the view to obtaining re-
medal legislation.

Strong Governor Essential.

The revolutionary tendencies are al
ways strong, and strong governor is
essential to maintain the authority of
the central power at Mexico The trou-
BILE is that a strong governor is apt to
want to make himself supreme. Yet,
at various periods President Diaz, by
letting the governor handle the situa-
tion and holding him responsible, was
ena bled to keep Sonora in the national
union.
Gen. John A. Logan used to tell, with
relish. of his own experience in Sonora
revolutions. He was making a south
western trip and dropped down into So
nora The governor of the state came
to pay his respects. The official call
was interrupted by an urgent message.
The governor, who had taken great
liking to Gen. Logan, excused himself
and asked the general to remain over
another day So that they could finish
their visit. The interruption. he eX-
planned, was due to a. revolution which
he had to go out and put down. And he
did put it down.

Future of the State.

The future of Sonora is not bound
up with either the Carranza or the
Villa factions. Doubtless the state will
continue to show the tribal tendencies.
and there will be considerable bodies
of men attaching themselves to indi-
vidual chiefs after Hill and Maytorena
are swept off the stage. The separa-
lists tendencies from a central govern
ment in Mexico City are not likely to
be lessened by the triumph of any par
ticular faction.

De Isles TRAGEDY.

An affair Of the youth of Rouget de
Isle, author of the "Marseillaise," is
told by a French journal. In 1870,
when he was about twenty years old,
Rouget de Lisle, pupil of the mill
tary school, was deeply smitten with
the charms Of young girl Of Courbe-
vote, Mile. Camille, whose father was
captain on half pay. The betrothal
was made the occasion Of a family
fete, in the course of which some fire.
works were to be set off.
The future officer could not leave to
others the care of touching off the
powder. When the moment came to
fire the principal piece, which showed
the figure of his well beloved, he ap-
preached with light in his hand, the
guests meanwhile taking their places
on terrace opposite him. The piece
was lighted, but rocket badly direct
ed struck the young girl on the fore
head, and she died some days after in
consequence of her burns.
