TILSON HITS DEMOCRATS
FOR PARTISAN ATTACK
Declares They Kept Away From Facts
In Minority Report On Repub.
lican Tariff Bill.

Washinton, d. C. - Excoriation of
the Democratic minority of the Ways
and Means committee Of the House for
making bitterly partisan attack in
their report against the Republican
taric bill without regards to facts is
made by Representative John O. Til
son, of Connecticut, one Of the hardest
working and ablest members of that
committee. He says:
Eat election time, when my oppon-
ent enters the race and puts forward
his reasons why l should not be re-
elected, always feel greatly encour-
aged if I find upon examination that
most of what is said by him is mac
curate or untrue, and that the rest of
it would be immaterial if true. The
views of the majority of the minority
Of the Ways and Means Committee
very forcibly remind me in this regard
of campaign days. The majority mem
bers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee have worked long and faithfully
and under many difficulties in, pro-
ducing a tariff bill. Now come our
Democratic colleagues on the commit
tee with one notable exception, and
proceed to attack our work. 1t was ex-
pected and entirely proper that they
should do so,
"The Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee are all
men of ability and have doubtless done
their best in presenting their views.
Party exigencies make it necessary
that the strongest possible attack be
made upon this bill. Partisan bias,
warped still more by political self-in-
terest, has been given full sway. 1t is
therefore most encouraging to read
what the minority have to say, for in
fact they have said substantially moth
ing. Almost everything in their re-
markable report may be properly
characterized as untrue, inaccurate,
misleading, or entirely aside from the
point. What is lacking in substance,
however, is made I'D in the beauty and
appropriateness of the rhetorical i'm
agery. As an example, the figure of
the surgeon, in fected scalpel in hand,
going forth to reap the harvest seeded
last autumn, and all of this In prefer
ence to the natural process" in in
deed very touching.
-"What is said concerning sinister
Influence supposed to be eXerted by
business or business men is hardly
worthy of serious notice. OF course,
no member signing the minority views
believe for a moment that any sinister
or undue influences were exerted
either big of little business or business
men or had any affect whatever upon
the preparation Of his bill, but they
had to say something. No one who
signed these views would say, and at
tempt to keep a straight face, that he
believes any member of the majority
of the committee to be any less honest
or patriotic than himself; but some
thing had to be said. It is an old story,
that of man approaching the house
of a neighbor and finding himself con-
fronted by dog which gave every
outward manifestation of disposition
to do violence. The owner of the beats
assured the approaching neighbor that
the dog would not bite, but still the
neighbor hestitated Finally the own
err rebuked the neighbor for his lack
of faith, saying: Haven't l told you

The great excitement at Ellis Island

fused the privilege Of landing because
of the new immigrtion laws. When one
thinks and talks and writes laws about
immigrants, he always seems to have
in mind the people who pack them
selves and their families into the
steerage, and no one else. But here
come a diplomat and millionaire
business man and all sorts Of people
accustomed to having reception COM
mittees and interviews to greet them

laws! Among the travellers who were
detained last week were British bus
mess man over here on a business
trip; Viscount Edouard Emmery, for
merly an attache of the French en-
bassy at Washington; Mr.. Albert Ten

Joy reigns in the circles of Vassar col
lege and its alumnae over the an
nouncement that the General Educa-
ton Board has seen fit to contribute
100000 toward the 100000 salary
endowment fund that the college is
planning to raise. "Of course we are
delighted with ANY 100000 that
comes to u.s." explained Edna Breeze,
manager fthe fund campaign, "but
this 100000 carries special blessing
with it. 1t doesn't mean just one half
million dollars; in addition to that,
there is the stamp of weighty approx
al that comes with it. The funds of
that board are used for educational
projects that will be Of serious value
to the country; nothing is passed upon
lightly ~ that group of people. When
they give our endowment fund such
slice Of their money. 1t is a great deal"
