FOSS FLAYS TARIFF.
Says Honest Revision Must Comc
From Democrats.
Congreaaman Eugene N. Foaa, the
Democratic victor of Maaaachuaetta, a
leading manufacturer. by the way, and
an ex-Republican whom the govern
ment'a tariff policy haa driven into the
Democratic runks, indicated hia new
poaition in a atirring apeech delivered
in the houae on May 20. He aaid:
"It cannot be donied that the people
have, rightly or wrongly, come to re
gard thia whole 'reviaion' acheme of the
Republican party leadera aa planned in
the laat national campaign and aa pro
mulgated in their platform and aa nnally
butchered in the apecial tarilf aeaaion
of congreaa aa an intentional and deiib
eratebunko game from atart to finiah."
Speaking of the appointment of a
tariff commiaaion to report aa to the
difference in coat of production here
and abroad, he inaiated that the com?
miaaion ahould report to congreaa and
not to the preaident. He aaked:
"Why doea tbe adminiatration aeem
to be ao aolicitoua that thia commiaaion
ahall be abaolutely under tbe control of
the executive. aeeingthat it iaprimarily
intended for auch legialative purpoaea?
Ia there an ulterior motive?
"If the commiaaion ia to be merely an
executive inatrument and report only to
the preaident, how ia congreaa to receive
the information excepting aa the preai?
dent may elect to tranamit it. and what
ia to preyent the executive department
from withholding or auppreaaing or
coloring auch information. aa baa more
than once been done heretofore? Ia
there not an evident fear that the con?
trol of thia commiaaion will too aoon
come into the handa of a Democrat and
reform congreaa?"
In ominoua tonea that caught the at
tention of the houae he continued:
"I recognize that the people have loat
eonfidence in the Republican party and
that they are no longer looking to them
for an honeat reviaion. The people have
turned to the Democratic party. Now
the reaponaibility of an honeat reviaion
of the tariff ia up to the Democratic
party with the aid of the inaurgent and
?ucb independent elementa aa will ally
tbemaelvea with ua."
In voicing hia demand for another
apecial aeaaion to reviae the tariff the
apeaker aaid: * The people demand that
the reviaion and reduction of the tariff
whicb were promiaed two yeara ago by
the Republican party be carried out by
tbe Democratic party aa aoon aa the
new congreaa can convene. The Demo?
cratic party ougbt to raiae the iaaue
that there ahall be an extra aeaaion
convened next apring to do the work to
which thia congreaa haa proved faitbleae.
The people have made the immediate
reduction of the tariff the iaaue, and the
Democratic party muatpledgeitaelf in a
moat diatinct and apecilic way to carry
out thia courae in order that the mandate
ahall be a compelling one, that the vic
tory ahall be ao complete that tbe Re?
publican executive will be forced to
acquieace in it and call congreaa to
gether."
Mr. Foaa declared that the rallying
cry ahould be made "Free wool and
cheap clothing." But the climax of
hia apeech waa hia open declaration aa a
manufacturer that dutiea were unnecea
aary:
"Now at thia point it aeema todevolve
upon me aa a repreaentative here in
congreaa of thia refprtn and aa a repre?
aentative manufacturer in the iron and
ateel induatry of New England engaged
in the production of irnportant linea of
macbinery, employing large numbera of
?kulled workmen and uaing large quanti
tiea of the finiahed productsof tbe ateel
truat, to atate publicly here that, in my
judgment, my induatry and the people
employed in it would not auffer undv?r
free trade conditiona-that ia, if the 45
per cent. duty waa entirely removed
and provided these conditiona apply to
tha whole iron and ateel induatry from
the coal and iron ore up. Thia atate
nienl ia equally true of other ataple in
duatriea. In fact, I believe today that
under free trade conditiona we can com
pete in the marketa of the world in
moat if not all of theae industriea, and
compete to better advantage than we
now do."
EXPRESS COMPANIES ANDGOVERN
MENT FAYORITISM.
(Norfolk Vlrginian-Pllot.l
Under the meaaure about to paaaCon
greaa the juriadietion of the Interatate
Commerce Commiaaion ia extended to
cover telegraph and telephone linea.
Thia raisea the queation why the au
thority of that body ia not made to in
clude alao the expreaa companiea.
Theae latter inatitutionahundle a large
proportion of the country'a transporta
tion buaineaa, in their conduct the gen?
eral public ia largely and directly inter
eated, and yet they are left practically
without government control, regulation
orauperviaion of any kind. Like the
Pullman Company and the refrigerator
car concerna, they are parasitea fatten
ing and battening upon the public and
the railroada alike, though, in the end,
the people, of courae, have to bear the
full burden of their exactiona. They
monopolize the parcela?carrying buai?
neaa of the country, make their chargea
and tulea of aervice to auit themaelve8,
and otherwiae conduct themselves aa
they pleaae and alwaya with an eye sin
gle to piling up profita.
That theBe profita are inordinately
high ia notorioua. Collier'a Weeklyhaa
recently figured that the average an
nual earninga of the five great expreaa
concerna range from forty-three to one
hundred and twenty-five per cent. on
liberal capitalizationa. The Adama
Company paid vearly dividenda of ten
per cent from 1903 to 1907 and in June
of the latter year declared an extra
dividend of two hundred per cent., pay
able in bonda. In February of the cur
rent year the Wella, Fargo Company
added to ite regular annual ^dividend of
ten per cent. an extra dividend of three
hundred per cent. Paymenta of big ex?
tra dividenda, known in the parlance of
the atreet aa "cutting melona," are of
periodical occurrenc? not alone with tbe
two companiea mentioned, but with tbe
other three big expreaa concerna aa^
well. the aiinis ao diatributed repreaent
ing accumulationa of earninga which it
waa deemed unwiae to diatribute annu
ally for fear the public would the more
eaaily "get on to" the actual and enor
moua profita filched from the public
pocket.
Obvioualy chargea which permit of
auch accumulationa of earninga are in?
ordinately and unreaaonably high and
conatitute a groaa impoailion on the
public which haa the burden to bear,
but even auch extortiona do not aatiaf.y
the voracioua greed of the concerna ex
acting them. Conatantly the expreaa
ratea are being advaaced on thia or that
commodity, as witnesa the recently an
nounced and totally unneceaaary in
creaae in chargea on oyatera ahipped
from Norfolk and other Virginia pointa.
The only excuae offered by the expreaa
monopoliea for exactiona which they
themaelvea do not deny^are in exceaaa
of anything which the necea&itieaof the
caae demand, ia that to lower the ratea
would be to enaure auch an increaaed
volume of buaineaa that it could not be
expeditioualy handled, And yet, even
while advancing thia clairn, they have
for yeara been bending every nerve and
exhauating every trick known to poii
tica and thechicanery of theexpert lob
byiat to prevent inauguration by the
government of aparcelapoat ayatemthtt
would at one and the aame time relieve
them of a aurpluaage .of buaineaa, add
to the country'a facilitiea for handling
the parcela traffic and cheapen the coat
of auch tranaportation to the public.
And ao far, be it aaid to thediacredit of
Congreaa, their efforta have been uni
formly and eminently aucceaaful.
Doubtleaa there are good and suffi
cient reaaona why telegraph and tele?
phone linea ahould be brought under
aome reaaonable meaaure of govern?
ment regulation. but what aort of gov?
ernment favoritiam ia it that, while aub
jecting theae corporationa to control,
permita the expreaa companiea to go
without any auperviaion at all, free to
follow only their own aweet will both
aa to ratea charged and the general con?
duct of their buaineaa? And where js
the aecret of the jnfluence which aecurea
and haa long aecured auch favoritiam?

What other women gave their all to

Othera were fickle. She waa pasaing

She gave pure love and faith without

She never married. Suitora came and
went;
The dark eyea flaahed their love on
one alone,
Her life waa paaeed in quiet and content,
The old love reigned. No rival ahared
the throne.
Think you her life waa waated? Vale

Uloaaomeilin summer and white winter

The blue ice atiffened on the ailent rill,
All timea the aeaaona found her atill

Her heart waa full of sweetnesa till the

What once ahe gave ahe never took

Through all her youth ahe loved one
faithful friend;
Shelovea him now her hairia growing

ERRONEOUSLY STATED.
An Interesting Bit of History Not
Generally Known.
(Newport N?wa Praaa.)
In practically all of tbe newapaper
announcementa of the death of the late
Pembroke Jonea, it waa erroneoualy
atated that thia gallant gentle
man waa executive officer of the Con
federate iron-clad Virginia (Merrimac)
at the time that veaael fought her
famoua duel with the Federal Monitor.
The executive officer waa Cateaby Ap
R. Jonea, and Pembroke Jonea waa flag
lieutenant. In an editorial straighten
ing out thia confuaion, the New York
Sun giyea ita readers an intereating bit
of hiatory that will not be found in
many of the text booka uaed in the
achoola. The Sun aaya:
From her etatjon near Sewall'a Point
ahe moved out to battle onre nmre,
Tattnall'a ordera being "to take auch a
poaition in the Jamea rlver aa would
prevent the enemy'a aacending it.'
Cateaby Jonea waa flrat lieutenant aud
Pembroke .loneB flag lieutenant at the
time. The Merrimac pasaed the Sewall'a
Point battery and atood for the enemy.
Six Federal war-ahipa, including the
iron-clad ateamahipa Monitor and Nauga
tuck, and been ahelling Sewall'a Point,
but they retired aa the Merrimac waa
coming out.
Aak the average fairly well read per
aon from nofth of the Maaon and Dixon
line what waa the reault of the Merri
mac-Monitor fight in Hampton Roads,
and the anawer will be. "Why. the
Monitor won, of courae." That ia what
moat of the hiatoriea teach, ao the
anawer ahould not be aurpriaing. Aak
the average Southerner about the re?
ault of thia wonderful battle, and the
chancea are that you will hear a loyal
denial that the Merrimac waa whipped,
but it ia not likely that you will get a
lucid atatement of what did happen.
Aa a matter of fact, the Merrimac,
eoming out from Norfolk before ber
plating waa complete, and without her
port-ahielda. made a cleaq aweep of the
Federal wotxjen craft and, after her
ateel prow had gone to the bottom. with
the Cumberland. engaged the Monitor.
At the c|oae of tbe terrific fight that
followed both irqn Mmonatera" were
more or leas tbe wqrae for wear and
tbe crewa of both were glad enough for
a reapite. The Monitor tuok to the flata
under the guna of Fort Monroe and the
Merrimac ateamed back to Norfolk. At
the Norfolk navy yard the Merrimac
waa repaired and completed. A new
aud improved ateel prow waa inatalled
to replace the one loat in the hull of the
Cumberland, hergun ports were covered
with protecting ateel ahuttera and the
plating of the auperatructure waa per
fected and finiahed. Then the Merri?
mac went forth looking for battle again.
Thia ia the part that the hiatoriea aeldom,
if ever. tell. When the Merrimac
rounded the point coming out of Norfolk,
the Federal fleet, including the doughty
Monitor and another iron-clad, the
Naugatuck, were busily engaged in
ahelling the Confederate batteriea at
Sewall'a Point. Upon theapproach of
the Merrimac the ahelling auddenly
cea8ed and the fleet, including the
Monitor, hiked for the flata and the pro
tection of Fort Monroe'8 cannon. The
Merrimac ateamed about in deep water
and chalienged and challenged again.
But the Monitor, safe in ahallow water
where the Meirimac could not follow,
atayed there until all dangerof another
encounter with her big antagoniat waa
paat.
Thia waa the firat great fight between
iron-clada, the beginning of the revo'u
tion in naval warfare that haa reaulted
in tbe marvelous uaviea of today. And
yet probably nine tentha of the Ameri
can people do not know ita trueatory.
STATE WARS ON THE FLY.
I Norfolk Vlrginlan-Filot.]
The Virginia Board of Health in the
prosecution of ita work of protecting
the people of the State againat diaeaae
and limiting the liability to infection,
ha8 juat aent out a circular letter call
ing attention to the importance of aome
rneaaures to abate thenuiaanceanddan
ger of the common fly. In the courae
of thia bulletin, it ia aaid:
"Second only to bad water among
menacea to health during the aummer
ia the fly nuisance. Bad water carries
the germ of typhoid fever, butthefliea,
which breed in filth, carry the same
germa. Not only typhoid fever. but tu
berculoaia, eryaipelaa and a number of
other diaeaaea are apread by fliea.
"In the same way, the moaquito of
thia chmate ia responaible for tbe mala
ria, the chille and fever and like com
plainta which make life a miaery to
muny people from apring to the
fall. Moequitoes and moaquitoea a!one
carry nialaria; Ibe ?miaama' of awampy
dlstricts haanothing to do with the dia
eaae.
"Bolh fliesand moaquitoea can prac
tlcally h- eradicated from every home
if a f?w aimple precautioua be taken'
If the windowa be Boreen-d, if theyard
be kept clean and if ttH manure be
promptly removed, the chances are
atrong that there will be no fliea in the
houae. If no atanding water be left
around the houae or premiaea, in which
moaquitoea may breed, no moaquitoea
will appear."
A aubject that ia serioua enough to
enliat the attention of the health au
thoritiea of the State ahould likewiae
command the active intereat and efforta
of the local medical fraternity and of
the intelligent citiaena of a community.
The work of the health department is
educative and it will prove effective in
proportion aa the average citizen prof?
ita by and acts 0.1 the advice given by
expert sanitarians and scientiata. Even
if the average man attach little iraport
ance to the part played by the fly aa a
diaeaae conveyor. the deaire forcomfort
and clean food ahould impel us to take
all reaaonable precautions againat fliea.
WINNING OF BRIDGET MALONEY.
"Thank you, Bridget," aaid Mra. Wil

on the table before her.
A faint glimmer of aurpriae came into
the aullen face. "Huh?" ahc interro

"I aaid thank you; it waa kind of you
toclimbthoee long ataira," reaponded
Mrs Williama pleaaantly.
'"It'a a new broom that aweepa
clean.' but it won't laat," muttered
Bridget in her own domain.
But when day after day paased and
ahe never failed to receive the aame
perfect politeueaa from her employer.
her wonder increaaed.
Bridget wua uaed to commanda, but
not to requeata. She waa accuatomed
to a curt, aupercilioua "That will do,"
but not to a kindly "Thank you, Krid
gett,"andshe insensibly 8oftened at
the change.
Mra. Williama treated her aervanta
like human beinga, not like machinus.
And while ahe ever maintained that
nice reaerve which forbade familiarity,
yet ahe acrupuloualy reapected the
righta of othera.
"Sure, one would be a haythen to be
aaaBy to Mra. Williama." aaid Bridget
after a month'a atay in her new home.
"She haa a way of making ye feel ao

TICKLISHNESS.
T'There axi.Ms a diatinct appeUte for tickling.'
- t>r. Louis Robinnon in North Amariran Keview.l
There ia no doubt that thia ia true,
For aince this world began
"You tickle me, I tickleyou."
Haa been the human plan.
The babes of not a year in age
When tickled 'neath their biba
Will laugh, as also will the aage,
When poked between the ribs.
In letters what a joy it is
When critics do abate
Their quips and quirka and quilliah quiz
Our work to titillate!
In politica how blissful when,
Mid acenes of nervoua wreck,
Some writer with his fountain pen
Doth scratch us on the back.
We find it everywhere we go,
ln every walk in life,
Araong the high placed and the low,
In peace and e'en in atrife.
The beggar meekly aeeking aims
Laugha aoftly 'neath hia breath
When coppera acratch hia itching palma;
It ticklea him to death.
The millionaire with all hi8 gold
On tickling dotea likewiae,
For all that he aeema stern and cold
To aundry watching eyea.
When aomeoneapeaka good wordaof him
Hisapirit ?reatly cheera,
And. while hia amile is often grim,
It ticklcs much his eara.
And even in the White Houae, where
Such atrenuousneaa dwella,
We aurely flnd it caating there
Ita moat bewitching apella.
What man ia he who dares deny
The wondroua amiling throb
That liaahea in our Teddy'a eye
When on aome tickliah job?
-John Kendrick Banga in Harper's

SLANG.
It'a a great shock to hear auch ex
preaaiona aa "not on your life," "jjet
onto that," etc, iaaue from the lipa of
a pretty, dainty-looking girl.
You may not have had the eduea
tional advantagea, that teach one to
8|>eak correctly, but that doea not jua
tify the free uae of alang.
When I waa a little girl, the uae of
alang and chewing gum were punish
ablo offenaea.
Have you ever watched a girl chew?
ing gum? She doea not look very
pretty, doea ahe? If you muat chew
gum, do it in the privacy at your own
home; not in tbe atreet.
Every girl wanta to be conaidered la
dy-like, and it iathe obaervanceof amall
detaila that makea her appear ao.
The real lady doea not uae alang or
chew gum or.make hereetf conapicuoua
in any way. She ia modeat and iui?t in
manner; her voice and laugh are well
modulated. ? Excbange.
