Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.
The insurrection in the House
s over so far as the Philipine
Tariff Bill is concerned. It is
said that the bill may be killed
in the Senate and this is possible
but not probable. The fact that
rice was included with sugar and
tobacco as enjoying the per cent
protection of the Dingley rates
was a surprise to some who have
not followed the bill closely but
t was a matter somewhat of
policy and granted a degree of
protection to one southern pro
duct at the same time that two
others were, according to their
friends, very hard hit. But the
hardships as to sugar ond tobac
co are likely to prove more
fancied than real. As for the
Filipinos who had claimed that
the future commercial existance
of the island depended on the
passage of the bill, it ought to be
considered a very satisfactory
victory, especially with the pro
spect in sight of free trade be
tween the islands and the United
States after 1909.
One more urgent demand for
federal rate control was regis- j
teredin Washington this week
by the National Board of Trade
which passed a resolution in fa- s
vor of rate legislation and even
ndicated the lines it thought
uch control ought to take.
Possibly it might have been wis
er to have left out this specific
recommendation. But the action
showed the feeling of this na
tionally important body that ef
fective legislation was impera
(five. The National Board of
Trade recorded itself in favor of
giving the rate making power to
i special federal court which
was to act on the appeal of the
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. This might look from one
ooint of view 7 like simple doub
ing the machinery necessary to
ix a rate. On the other hand it
night be considered as putting
he actual rate making power in
o the hands of a judicial body
aore qualified to past on such a
erious question than is the In
2rstate Commerce Commission
■self. That lost would seem a
irect slight on the capacity of
ie Commission and the retort
light be that if the Commission
; not a heavyweight body
lough to fix a rate, a Commis
on that ought to be appointed.
As to the vote, there may be
>me surprise to the outsider at
ie overwhelming majority for
of 258 to 71. This would
iem particularly strange in
ew of the loud noise made by
% “insurrectos”. It would
c:em as though this ought to
ave an important bearing on the
\te of the joint statehood bill.
Jut in fact it is neither sur
rising nor very significant,
'he wise ones in congress know
s a rule before a vote is taken
s to how it will come out,
vhether a measure will be de
bated or victorious. There may
;ave been a strenuous fight
uther for or against it and the
question of defeat may have
>een at one time a matter of two
>r three votes. But when the
oil is called, the scant majority
vill have been turned into a big
najority by a scramble to board
he band w T agon. Even insur
gents do not like to break party
ines when they know the break
vill be unavailing. They like to
iave their record clear for the
lext primaries. There is seldom
fc very close vote on any measure
>f importance no matter how
lercely it may have been fought
•efore the vote. A striking in
tance of this a few T years ago
/as the impeachment proceed
igs against the late Senator
uay. It was a question of only
vote or two between conviction
ad acquittal up to the day be
>re the ballot was taken and a
reat deal of speculation was
asted on the subject. But
hen it came to the actual vote,
e leaders on. both sides knew
w the case was destined to go
before the roll was called. The
of the senate in that cast
showed a quarter of the body
over and above the necessary
majority for acquittal.

It is rank foolishness to attempt,
to remove sailowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or “local” treatment, as advocated
by the “beauty doctors.” The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green’s August Flower
acts directly [on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosa,* purifies the
complexion. “ It also cures consti
pation, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing [sleep. A single
