To Keen the TarifY in politlcs.

Finding that the business commu-
nifty, without respect to party, is al
most unanimously IN favor OF a per-
manent tariff commission, President
Wilson has caused the introduction
in Congress OF a bill to establish
such body. But demand Is for a
non-partisan commission on which
the two leading parties would be
equally represented, while the Demo
cratic bill provides for a partisan
commission, on which one party
would have majority. The demand
is for a commission which will as
certain the facts which Congress
should know for it's guidance in tar
lff-making. The Democratic bill es-
tablishes a commission which shall
Investigate the administration and
fiscal facts Of customs laws now in
force or to be hereafter enacted, the
effects OF ad valorem and specific
duties, and the operation and effects
OF the customs tariff laws. including
their relations to the federal reve-
nues."
AS Representative Fairchild said
in discussing the bill before the
House. n commission having a ma
jority Of one party would be likely
to make reports in accordance with
the ma jority party's policy. A report
on effects" would be an expression
of opinion by its makers in conform
ity with the policy Of their party.
Under the Tariff Commission
Leagues bill the commission would
not recommend rates of duty-that
lis, deal with effects-unless requested
by either house Of Congress or the
president; 1t could only report facts.
The Democratic bill requires the
commission to report to the tariff
making committees of Congress-; the
leagues bill requires 1t to report to
the president and Congress. II
practice the majority of the ways
and means committee in the House
or Of the finance committee in the
Senate does not permit the minorit,
to share In drafting tariff bill
Hence the majority Of these commit
tees would obtain from the majority
OF the commission a report in favor
of the policy favored by their party
while the minority OF the committee
would get an equally partisan report
The result would not be to take
out of politics the collection Of in
formation on which the tariff mus
be based, but to add a new wheel tt

We need no new wheels on the pres

WILSON IL self.Condemned.

Strange. how frequently President
Wilson's own words condemn him.
On April 5, 1916, there was printed
in hundreds Of newspapers all over
the United States an installment OF
his History Of the American People,
containing this comment upon the
Fenian invasion:
THE government at Washing
ton seemed singularly inditer-
ent: did little that was effective
to check the criminal business;
was apparently helpless against
a handful Of outlaws. A touch

And, even so, she did not know how
great were the perils that dogged
Bruce's trail. Red Mike, like some
skulking beast of prey, waited for his
chance to strike. y dozen times he
held his hand, inspired by the animal
cunning that was his, waiting to make
sure.
Meanwhile Bruce found plenty of ev-
idence. He was disturbed by the news
that came TO him from Bart Nash and
jim Stevens, but decided that it was
of the work instead of going back to
help them. He felt that he was on the
trail Of real facts, which would prove
terribly damaging to the enemy.
At last there came the chance he had
waited. \ man he had bribed told
him of a plan to send schooner out

hy laden with grain.
go along" he told Bruce. you'll
see something worth while"
And Bruce did. Concealed in a boat,
he saw the crew, under orders from
the captain, dumping the perfectly
good grain into the lake. 1t was so
that Dodson's men were creating the
shortage he was using as his excuse
for raising the price Of bread to the
poor! This Bruce knew would serve

"Mr. Dodson!' said Dorothy, deeply
shocked. why, he's one of papa S
best friends"'
That's just the trouble" said Bruce
grittingly. Its because men who are
universally supposed to be honorable
and decent, and who occupy fine and
high positions, are at the bottom of all
the croOkedness that it's so hard for
me to reach them
Stanford Stone, the secret head of
the graft syndicate and Bruce's great
enemy, was not deceived by Bruce's
resignation Of his Office, which filled
some of Stones associates with de-
light.
He hasn't given up" he said.
Don't be fooled for a minute by his
resignation. That's just blind. He's
going to keep on fighting, and it's more
important than ever to put him out of
the way. | know, for instance, that
he's going To Chicago tomorrow 10 try
to get evidence against Dodson and
his grain shortage. Blacks gone, but
I've got another man to follow him."
So it came about that there Travelled
with Bruce. following him as closely
as his own shadow, desperate known
to the police Of score OF cities as Red
Mike. Mike meant to earn his money.
With Bruce gone, Stanford Stone left
no move unmade in New York that
might help to achieve his object. His
first blow was struck ut the Independ
ent. A hint was enough. With one
accord advertisers withdrew their sup
port until the paper faced staggering
loss. And Stone went further. His
agents approached stockholders, who,
frightened by the loss Of earnings,
were glad to sell their holdings. So
Stone came into control OF great
block of Independent stock and was
able to apply for a receivership and
SO force the suspension, for time at
least, of the papers publication.
At his instance, too, suits were
brought against Bruce for criminal IL
bel and for heavy damages by the men
he had accused in connection with the
traction trust exposure. These were
strike suits, which could not succeed
when they were brought to trial, but
1t was not Stones purpose to let them
come to trial. They served as an eX.
cuse for attaching Bruces bank ac.

Bruce's mother was terrified by threats
