never again speak to the Senators, and
in that opinion she was correct.
My mother heard Webster's famous
seventh of March speech. Webster fol-
lowed Calhoun after an interval OF two
or three days. 1t was a speech for which
Webster was accused Of having betrayed
his principles upon the slavery question
for the sake Of securing the favor Of
the Southern wings SO that he might
obtain the Presidential nomination two
years later.
My mother was especially attracted
by Webster's personal appearance. He
was faithful to the style OF swallowtail
coat which he had for years worn not
only in the Senate, but even upon the
street 1t was a dark blue broadcloth.
1t was ornamented by copper buttons,
each one about as large as an old-fssh-
ioned penny. 1t had a broad, rolling COL
lar. Underneath was a bun wsistcost

placed one hand and kept II there dur
ing the entire speech. lie was very
grave. even solemn. He was not ami
mated at all, excepting that toward the
close Of the speech he frightened up a
little. 1t was delivered, however, with
great effect Webster using his splendid
voice as well as he ever did. although he
was then an old man. Mother used TO
say that he commanded the attention
OF the entire Senate and that there SEEM

Frederick W. Seward thought there
was no part of his fathers career in
the United States Senate which was more
interesting than his share In the great
debate In the Federal Senate In the
spring OF 1850. William H, Seward had
been q member Of the Senate only two
years. When he first took his seat there
remained some OF the illustrious states

The Tariff Commission.

In in interview that appears today in The
Washington Herald, Mr.. Cross, president of the
Tariff Commission League, makes a strong plea
for a tariff commission of the first rank instead
of one Of the "jitney" brand. His organization
has created countrywide campaign that has
brought out as never before the necessity for
substituting business needs for political expe-
dlency in the enactment OF tariffs
In this movement Mr.. Gross has the sup
port Of the press and the public to an extra
ordinary degree. 1t the psychological time
for it are facing a worldwide readjust-
ment in which the tariff will play the leading
part. If we to have a. tariff commission
it should be permanent and of the highest rank
and personnel No other will meet the situa-
ton.
With this in view the cutting of the salaries
OF the members of the commission from $4,000
TO $4,000 and then to $500 seems indefensble.
This figure is IS per cent less than the Rural
Credits Commission thus created by practically
the unanimous vote of both Houses 1t is nearly
40 per cent below the pay of Federal Reserve
Board. Unless the salary and the rank of the
Tariff Commission is restored the President
probably will find great difficulty in getting the
kind Of men the position requires, men who will
satisfy the public. His friends ought not to
put him in that position.

The railway presidents and managers say it
is impossible to operate their properties on all
erght-hour day. The Big Four unions say other
wise. The President insists that the railways
concede the eght-hour day and put it in opera
ton the rs railroads involved as a test to
see whether the eight-hour rule is practicable
While this test is being made the other issues,
it is proposed, shall be settled by arbitration 1t
has not been made clear who is to finally deter
mine whether the roads can operate under the
eight-hour day Suppose, after several months
experiment, the roads say they cannot operate
and the unions say they What then? 1t is
probable that government officials would be
charged with the duty of observing the tes,
but there is government agency equipped
for properly watching operations on 225 rail-
roads. 1t has been suggested that few rail-
roads be chosen for the eight-hour trial so that
most of the roads may be operated without the
inconvenience and expense of disarranging their
systems. This suggestion sounds reasonable
especially with the railroads handling more
traffic than ever before and the day of moving
crops at hand. If few railroads were selected
for the test, the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion could properly observe the operations and
probably would submit a report acceptable to
the railroads and their employees An agreement
might be reached that the report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission must be accepted

Theodore Dresser has written a novel, The
Genius" which John S. Sumner successor to
Anthony Comstock censor of New York's
morals, 5 trying to suppress without advertising.
In other words, Mr. Summer is seeking to sup
press the work without the publicity that would
create demand for it. Mr.. Sumner is apt to
find the task difficult because nearly everybody
in position to give the work publicity furnishes
news that IS interesting Censorship in this coun-
try IS in the stone-agc and censorship probably
never will be properly effective until it is raised
to present standards Of art 1t is at once ludi-
Crous and sad to the workings of form Of
censorship in this city, such that of a police
picking moral flaws in a work like the
Ballet Russo.
