Recognition of the Chinise republic r.nd the Philippine question has come prominently before the cabinet.

The democratic tariff revision bill was completed Saturday with the ex i option of a final decision on the su gar tariff. From beginning to end it is a measure modeled in accord with the ideas of President Wilson, with wool, meats and many other foodstuffs and clothing materials on the free list; with low duties upon all agricultural products and foodstuffs that are not free; and with the tariff on chemical, cteel and other commercial products cut far below the present protective rates.

CONGRESS GETS WILSON MESSAGE Brief Document Tells Purpose ol Extra Session. MUST ALTER TARIFF DUTIES Lawmakers Asked to Square the Schedules With the Actual .Facts of Industrial und Commercial Lire. Washington, April S. — President tVilson’s message, read today to the senate and house at the peginning of the extra session, was a brief, point ed document setting forth In general terms what congress is expected to do in the matter of tariff revision. The message was as follows: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: 1 have called the congress together in extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in power at the recent elections which it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense as to what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be re , quired to adjust themselves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They • must be changed to meet the radical altera tion in the conditions of our ecnomic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recogni tion the tariff schedules have re mained what they were before the :hange began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no iarge circumstance of our industrial development was what it is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suf fering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the na ture of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial ar rangement. Business Not Normal. We have seen tariff legislation wander very far afield in our day—• very far indeed from the field in which our prosperity might have had a nor mal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything' that lies be neath the surface.of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of "protecting" the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage if the government. For a long time— a time so long that the men now active In public policy hardly remember the :onditions that preceded it—we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or pro ducers what they themselves thought that they needed In order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges tnd exemptions from competition be hind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to Drganize monopoly; until at last noth ing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and econ 5my, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted ar -angement. Only new principles of iction will save us from a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that juicken enterprise and keep inde pendent energy alive. It is plain what those principles must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of priv ilege or of any kind of artificial ad rantage, and put our business men md producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters cf competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not, and probably cannot, produce, therefore, ind the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff du ties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of Ameri can wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. Development, Not Revolution. It would be unwiBe to move toward .his end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up imongst us by long process and at pur own invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change. It lestroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object is development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolution or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially for ?ign trade. We need the outlet and ^he enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well and must idopt freedom in the place of arti ficial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judg ment, exercised item by item. To some not accustomed to the ex citements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may in some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object is clear If our motive is above just challenge and only an occasional error of judg ment is chargeable against us, we shall be fortunate. We are called upon to render the country a great service in more mat ters than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best, indeed it is neces sary, to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can ob scure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to re forms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and cur rency laws; but just now I refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing—of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of pros perity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file. WOODROW WILSON. I The White House. April 8, 1913. WOMEN KNOWN BY JEWELS Each Article of Adornment Is Ob served and Carefully Catalogued by Society. A woman frequently changes her face and always her gown, while to change her jewels is an event calling for chronicle, Richard Harry writes in the New York Times. "Is that Mrs. So-and-So in box —?’ I heard one woman ask another the other night. "Let me see." replied her com panion, seizing the glasses. “No. Mrs. So-and-So has sapphires surrounding a pearl in her pendant. That has emeralds. It is Mrs. If-and-But.” "Who is that next to her?" “With the cross of diamonds and the jade stomacher?" “No. With the oval brooch set ; with opals.” "Oh! That is Mrs. Or-to-Be's I brooch, but it doesn't look like her - daughter, only she never will let any ; one wear her opals; ‘lucky for her, unlucky for another' is her idea. What has she done to her face?” These women, their dependents and their intimates hold their jewels in the affectionate regard that another group of women might hold their chil dren. Tile entrance to the circle of each new piece of jewelry is noted and commented on carefully. It un dergoes jealous observation at first. Then, if deserving it, it achieves a place and is duly catalogued. 1-.OOK! mere is that little Miss Pretty. It’s her first night. She's barely eighteen, and see that string of diamonds. I do think that is rushing it a bit, don't you? They might wait till the second year, at least, for a necklace like that. However, give me your glasses; they are better than mine.” After a moment she releases the glasses with a satisfied smile. “At any rate,” she observes, “they are perfectly matched and just the right size.” So it goes. Jewels the center of at tention; jewels which mark the dis tinctive elements of personality. From the tiny necklace, which is the joy of the newest debutante, to the sturdy stomacher which is the con solation of the oldest dowager, jewels proclaim, define, limit, differentiate, vitalize and devitalize society. Sunshine, Plants—and Girls. Sunlight is so important to life that it is little wonder that sun worshipers prevailed in primitive days. Plant a potato in your cellar, and if there is a little light the potato will sprout and try to grow. Surround it with the best fertilizer, water it, and do the best you can for it except that you keep it in the dark, and it cannot digest and grow See how slender and pale it is! The process of digestion, the great function of assimilation, cannot go on without sunshine. Nature's laws are the same in the animal world. It is just as true that the only girls with red cheeks and sweet breaths, the only girls who become fully ripe and sweet, are those who baptize themselves fully in glori ous sunshine. The many pale girls w’jc are to be seen with a bloodless, hgif baked sort of face, whose walk, whose voice and whose whole expression is devoid of spirit, are not half ripe The Queen and Gambling. Though the queen is to accompany the king to the grand national ner,t month, she retainns her dislike ro' gambling. But some years ago when the royal party was traveling down by rail for the derby, the late King Ed ward proposed a half crown sweep stake on the race, and Princess .Mary drew a horse that had a fine chance Prince Arthur of Connaught having drawn his usual blank, suggested he Eliould buy it from her present maj esty for five shillings. She declined and held to her chance, which romped home an easy winner. “For any one who does not like gambling,” remarks H. R. H., when retailing this yarn “I never saw any one collect her win ning more quickly.”—London Opinion Need Care of Home. A ithiladelphia physician who en joys a' handsome practice and excel lent hospital connections told me an interesting although terrible thing. About 90 per cent, out of every 100 babies that are sent to hospitals for bringing up die. The death rate among such unfortunates is seven times as great as with infants who have the immediate care of mothers. Truly there is something needed in a child's life besides food, shelter and clothing.—Philadelphia Record. Valuable Find Came Too Late. The irony of fate was exemplified at Manhattan, Cal., recently. After working incessantly and alone for two years in a mine in which none but he had faith, a man named Hub ley was killed by a cave of rocks and debris, estimated as weighing forty tons. The same fall of earth that crushed out his life uncovered the very ore body he had been seeking with such dogged persistence. The ore is some of the richest ever discov ered in the district WILSON APPEARS BEFORE CONGRESS SETS ASIDE PRECEDENTS OF MORE THAN CENTl'RY. DELIVERS MESSAGE IN PERSON President Gets On Floor cf House and Gives His View on the Tariff Problem. Washington.—Setting aside preced ents of more than a century, Presi dent Wilson appeared in the halls of congress on Tuesday to deliver his first executive message in person. He announced to democratic congression al leaders that he would go to the floor of the house when it convened and there give that body his views on the tariff. This decision of the president evoked much comment among the congressional leaders. He will be the first president cf the United States to appear officially before either branch of congress in deliberate session since John Adams in the first fev,- years cf the last century. An attempt was made exactly 100 years ago, in 1811!, to revive the custom, but President Madison declined an invitation to dis cuss foreign relations with the senate. Since then no president has even sug gested joining in the deliberations of congress. President Wilson made his plans known to Majority Header Underwood of the house, Representative A. Mitchell Palmer cf Pennsylvania, and the other house democratic leaders, that they might prepare for the event. The president believes that he can get in closer touch with the members pf both houses cf congress by person ally expressing his views to them. In addition to his official visits to the floor of the house, which has become a matter of White house policy, the president will take advantage of : these visits to held conferences with the party leaders in congress. Montenegro Strikes at Powers. Cettinje.—The little kingdom of | Montenegro has thrown down the , gauntlet to the six great powers. S'tei j declines to yield to the demand of i the powers to abandon her attempts i to gain possession of Scutari, and has officially announced that "there will be no departure from am attitude which conforms to the necessities of the state of war existing between the | allies and Turkey.” An international fleet, comprising • warships of Austria-Hungary, Italy, France, Germany and Great Britain, is now blockading the Montenegrin port of Antivari. The fleet includes four Austrian warships, the British cruisers Yarmouth, Inflexible and Gloucester, the German cruiser Bres lau, the Italian cruiser Pisa and the French cruiser Edgar Quinet. Rus sia is not represented by a warship, but has acquiesced in the naval dem onstration. Ship Capsizes: 22 Men Trapped. Bay City, Ore.—Twenty-two men, including the ship’fe captain, the pres ident of a wrecking company of Port land and the representative of the Marine T’nderwriters, were trapped in the hold of the German ship Mimi which capsized off the beach here early Sunday, after having been haul ed off a reef on which she had been fast two months. How many perish ed is not known. Figures were seen on the bottom of the wreck at dark. It was supposed they had cut their way out. A heavy sea was pounding the wreck and life savers refused to at tempt a rescue until it calmed. They said no boat could be launched and refused to let volunteers take their boat. To Build Longest Tunnel. Winnipeg, Man.—The Canadian Pa cific railway has announced that it will begin construction of the longest tunnel in America. The tunnel will be built through Kicking Horse pass in the Rock mountain and will be six teen miles long, costing $14,000,000. Smallpox Breaks Out. Cincinnati, O.—A dispatch from Paducah, Ky., says that smallpox has broken out in the camp of negro ref ugees on Gregory Heights and that 500 negro refugees on the hill have been quarantined. The white refu gee camp is on the hill and there is fear of an epidemic. Elks Give $25,0C0. Chicago, 111.—The board of gover nors of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks gave $25,000 for the flood sufferers of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and other sufferers. Bumper Crop for Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb.—Belief that Nebras-' ka is to have one of the most suc cessful fruit seasons it has ever had benefits from is expressed in a state ment made by Secretary Marshall of the state board of horticulture. Mar keting conditions have been improved. Comic Opera Star Dies. Chicago.—Thomas Seabrooke, one of the best known of comic opera stars, died of pneumonia here. Recently he had been in vaudeville and was in Chi cago filling a number of engagements. Monument to Express Rider. St. Joseph, Mo.—A handsome gran ite monument, commemorative of the pony express riders of early days, was unveiled in Patte park here recently. The monument stands on the site of the spot from which the first express rider started, April 3, 1860. Mrs. Isham to Aid Girls. Chicago, 111.—A part of the $2,225, 000 estate of Mrs. Catherine S. Isham of Chicago, who died recently, will be devoted to the education of girls at the Allison school, Santa Fe^ N. M. REFORMATORY BILL PASSES. $150,000 Appropriated For Land ano Buildings. Lincoln. — Representative Norton's state reformatory bill, unamended, went through the house committee of the whole. Valiant efforts of Speaker Kelley to locate the institution at Grand Island failed. Location and other questions of administration were left to the board of control. The bill appropriates $150,000 for laud and buildings. The instituti-** is to be for first offenders or such oth»i prisoners as may be assigned to it by the board of control. It is to be placed on no less than a section of land and the products of its inmates’ labor are to be for public use. sup plies for other state institutions being preferred. Speaker Kelley’s location amend ment drew a baker's dozen of other amendments, each proposing its loca tion in some other county. Lee of Omaha thought Douglas county the proper place, inasmuch as various rep resentatives had repeatedly expressed the belief that Omaha was the princi pal source of supply for such an insti tution. The multiplicity of amendments was ruled out of order and Kelley's amendment was then defeated, 31 to 55, after an hour’s debate. An amendment requiring location where brick could be manufactured was also killed. — Bills Signed by Governor.
