TARIFF THE FIRST PROBLEM.
Tile special session of congress
will be enlivened on April K. and
the first business In be taken up
will be tariff revision.
’President Wilson and I be Dem
ocratic administration need no re
minder or warning that I arid' re
vision also was the first impor
tant undertaking of Ihe Iasi ad
ministration. An extra session of
congress was called In revise I be
larid schedules downward. The
Payne-Aldrich law was evolved
after months of talk, hearings
and dickerings.
The program four years ago to
day was very much the same as
at present. The people wanted
a reduction in rates. That had
been an issue in the campaign and
congress was called together to
reduce the schedules. There was
a Republican president, a Repub
lican congress and every apparent
reason to expect that something
satisfactory would he enacted. But
the result did not comply with
Ihe expectations of the people.
The same influences that were
at work four years ago to bring
about the defeat of a material re
duction in (he larid are on hand
again in Washington. The news
rejport telling of the ways and
. means committee, adds that “the
usual crop of lobbyists is appear
ing in Washington." The oppo
nents of tarill' reform probably
will have some new arguments,
but will use the same old meth
ods of playing one interest
against another. Some Demo
cratic members of congress al
ready have shown that they pro
pose to tight for the protection of
industries in which their constit
uents are interested.
The Democrats will lie in luck
if the result of I lie compromises
that are sure to he effected is sat
isfactory to Hie people, if they
fare much belter than did the Re
publicans four years ago. They
undoubtedly will make some im
portant reduel ions, more impor
lant Ilian those of four years ago,
hut they should lint overlook I he
fact that the people look Jo.them
for more results than were ex
pected four years ago.
There's a proposilion before
congress to re-name New Mexico.
Why not Montezuma?
“What Worms Have Done” is
1 to- title of an editorial in the
Minneapolis Journal. Well, they
’ve turned. What else?
According to a 'Harvarad pro
fessor the time is coming when
“10-year-old hoys will know as
much as their fathers.” Many of
them do now, professor.
An Italian admiral lias just
thrashed the minister of marine,
who placed him on the retired list
for "old age and inefficiency."
The admiral is entitled to rein
statement.
(iovernur Blense, of South Car
olina, has vetoed a compulsory
education hill. Probably he is
afraid of what might happen lo
his job if Die people should be
come wise.
Iiarry Thaw lias declined an of
fer to write for a magazine. We
are gradually getting a suspic
ion, amounting almost to con
viction, that Thaw is not, insane
all the time
1L is now declared that the
dreadnought type of battleship is
a mistake, and that the navy must
be equipped with smaller and
fleeter lighting ships. The tax
payer, however, gets no rebate.
The Democratic patronage com
mittee of the United States Sen
ate! has decided to lop off useless
offices on the payroll to the
amount of $46,000 a year. This
is a clear violation of Senate pre
cedents.
Prof. J. Laurence Laugliliu of
the University of Chicago, says
he expects congress to pass some
legislation at the next session re
forming the currency system.
Prof. Laughlin is clearly the prize
opt imist.
It is announced that an opera
tion is to lie performed on King
Alfonso’s head. He should be
careful. History shows that at.
least one king in Kurope had an
operation performed on his head
that proved fatal.
Mrs. Sun Yat Yen, wife of the
first president of China, has been
seriously injured in an automo
bile accident. And it was only a
few months ago that the news
papers were talking about “The
Awakening of China.’’

SILVER THREADS.
Life is failing last away, silver
threads are bn my brow; will you
love me when I’m gray, as you
love me now, my frau? Will you
love me when I’m old, and my
temper's on the blink, and I sit
around and scold till I drive the
folks to drink? When I have the
rhumatiz, and lumbago and repeat
and the cusswords fairly sizz as
I nursg my swollen feet; when a
crutch 1 have, to use, since my
trilbys are all so lame that
they will not tit my shoes,
will you love me just the same?
When the gout infests my Joes,
and all vanished are my charms,
wil 1 you kiss me on |hc nose, will
you clasp me in your arms? Sil
ver threads are in the gold, life
will soon have run its lease; I’d
be glad if 1 were told that your
love will still increase when my
high ambition fails, and my hopes
are all unstrung, and I tell my
tiresome tales of the days when 1
was young; when I sit around the
shark making loud and dismal
moan, of the stitches in my back,
and my aching collar bone; when
the asthma racks my chest so 1
cannot speak a word, will you fold
me to your breast, saying I’m your
honeybird? When I’m palsied,
stiff and sere, when I’m weary of
the game, tell me. Jemima, dear,
'will 'mi love me just the same?
