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;

products and foodstuffs that are not

The money in the treasury is again
being counted, but this time, with the
exception of the cah in the teller's
room, it is being counted by bundles.

adopted it is estimated it would take
six months to do the job. With the
induction into the office ot a new
treasurer of the United States, the
money in the treasury has to be
checked up. and the induction of es
Governcr Burke of North Dakota, as
treasurer under President Wilson,
has proven no exception to the rule.

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.
—
