sition, recently received $390.25 from

senting his share of the estate OF an

Weise applied to the bureau several
days ago and asked Matthew Conck-
ling. assistant superintendent, to assist
him In getting his inheritance. He ex-
planned that he had never applied for

place to take the time to apply for his
share.

A GREAT TRAVESTY

So far there has been little euthus-
iasm displayed over the Tariff Com
mission appointments by even the most
partisan Of the Democratic press. 4
few Eastern papers dedicated to free
trade have expressed mild sausfac-
ton, and we'll they may. for It's de-
cidedly one way commission. or the
six men whom President Wilson has
chosen for this board. only one can
be claimed in any sense as a believer
in the doctrine Of protective tariff;
and even his name conveys no sense
of conviction TO protecuonists that
they have any champion at all upon
the tribunal which is to pass upon tho
application and the formulation OF
tariffs as they exist and as they may
he. The only consolng reflection for
the protectionist who scans the list OF
Mr.. Wilson's tariff commission is that,
happily under the laws and tho Con.
stitution, its members will be unable
to give q fat to any confusion which
they may reach.
In this connection It is worth re-
fecting also that an executive tarI1
commission IL Inherently doomed to
failure. 1t represents only the predl-
lection Of the appointing power. On
the other hand, tariff commission
legislative In origin and responsible
ity would act aud speak along the
lines Of Congressional practice and
opinion and its conclusions would be
attended with respect by the House
Of Representatives, who would recog-
nize the board as Que of its own agen-
cjes for information and guidance. In
the present instance the Wilson tariff
board accurately embodies nothing
except the favor OF a President He
has named a free trade college pro-
lessor, a Democratic lame duck, a
Democratic political manager, two
Progressives who have twice assisted
the Democratic party to national vic
tory, and a so-called Republican who
has sought and obtained employment
under a Democratic federal commits
sion.
The bi-partisanship which the
President has proclaimed as a desid-
eratum in tariff commission does not
exist; the non-partisanship which he
has also preached in this connection
is hardly more apparent; and tho
board stands, five to one at least. N
favor Of free trade. low tariffs. or the
single tax. a more wicked trarcslE
upon a campaign pledge could hardly
! be imagined.
