MUST ALTER TARIFF DUTIES Lawmakers Asked to Square the Schedules With the Actual Facts of Industrial and Commercial Life. Washington, April 8. President "VVIIbou'o lui'ssago, rend today to the setinto and house nt the beginning of tho extra session, wub a brief, point cd document sotting forth In general terms what congress Is expected to do In tho matter of tariff revision. Tho mcasago was as follows: To tho Senate and Houso of Repre sentatives: I have called tho congresH together In extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon tho party now In power at the recent elections which It ought to perform promptly, In order that the burden carried by tho peoplo -under existing law may bo lightened as soon as posslblo and in order, also, "that the business Interests of the cou Ury may not be kept too long In UHpenso as to what the fiscal changes re to be to which they will be re quired to adjust thenfselves. It Is clear to the whole country that tho tariff duties must be altered. Thoy must to changed to meet the radical altera, tlon In the conditions of our ecnomlc life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. "While tho whole face and method of our Industrial and commercial Hfo were b.ng changed beyond recogni tion the tariff schedules havo re mained what tlioy were beforo tho chsngo began, or have moved In the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what- it la today. Our task is to squaro them with the actual facts. Tho sooner that Is dono tho sooner we shall escape from suf fering from tho facts and tho sooner our men of business will bo frco to thrive by tho law of naturo (tho na ture of free business) Instead of by -the law of legislation and artificial ar rangement. Business Not Normal. We have seen tariff legislation grander very far afield In our day very far Indeed from tho field In which our prosperity might have had a nor mal growth and stimulation. No one who looks tho facts squarely in the faco or knows anything that lies be neath the surface of action can fall to porceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation haB been tased. 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 of the government. For a long time a time so long that tho men now active In public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded it we have sought in our tariff schedules to glvo each group of manufacturers or pro ducers what they themselves thought that they needed In order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against tho rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges end exemptions from competition be hind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last noth ing Is normal, nothing 1b obliged to stand tho tests of cfQcienoy and econ omy, In our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted ar rangement. Only new principles of action will save us from a final bard crystallliatlon of monopoly and a complete loss of the Influences .that quicken enterprise and keep inde pendent energy alive. ' It la 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 vantage, and put our business men and ..producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters of 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, and 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 unwise to movo toward this end headlong, with recklesa haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own Invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset It and break it and deprivo It of a chance to change. It destroys 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 muBt build up trado, especially for eign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up Industry as well and must adopt freedom In tho place of arti ficial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. 'In dealing with the tariff the method by whloh this may H done will be a matter of Judg peat, exercised Item by Item. To some not accustomed to the ex citements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may in somo respects and at some points seem herolo, but remedtcs may he 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 ace 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, baaed upon the facts as thoy arc, and not worked out as If we wero beginners. We aro to deal with tho facts of our own day, with the facta of no other, and to mako lawn which squaro with those facts. It Is best, Indeed it Is neces sary, to begin with tho tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at tho opening of your session which can oh Bcuro that first object or divert our energies from that clcnily defined duty. At a later tlmo 1 may take the liberty of calling your attention to re forms which should press closo upon tho heels of tho tariff changes, If not accompany them, of which tho chlof Is the reform of our bnnklng and cur rency laws; but Just now I refrain. For tho present, I put these matters on one side and think only of thin ono thing of tho chuugos In our flBcal systom which may beat servo to open once more tho freo channels of pros perity to a grent people whom we would servo to the utmost and throughout both rank and fllo. WOODROW WILSON. The White Houso. April 8, 1913. WOMEN "KNOWN BY JEWELS Each Article of Adornment Is Ob served and Carefully Catalogued by Society. A woman frequently changes her faco and alwayB her gown, while to change her Jewels Is an event calling for chronicle, Richard Harry writes In tho New York Times. "Is that Mrs. 8o-and-So in box 7" I heard one woman ask another tho other night. "Let mo see," replied her com panion, seizing tho glasses. "No. Mrs. So-nnd-So hns sapphires surrounding a pearl In her pendant. That has emeralds. It 1b Mrs. If-and-Uut." "Who Is that next to her?" "With the cross of diamonds and tho Jado stomacher?" "No. With tho oval brooch set with opals." "Oh! That Is Mrs. Or-to-Bo's brooch, but It doesn't look like her daughter, only she nevor will let any ono wear her opals; iucky 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. The 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 placo and is duly catalogued. "Look I There la that littlo Miss Pretty. Ife her flrBt night. She's barely eighteen, nnd see that string of diamonds. I do think that is rushing It a bit, don't you? They might wait till tho second yenr, at least, for a necklace like that. However, give me your BlasBcs; the re better than mlno." After a moment she releases the glasses with a sittlsfled smile. "At any rate," she observes, "they are perfectly matched and Just the right size." So it goes. JewelB the center of at tention; Jowels which mnrk the dis tinctive elements of personality. From the tiny necklace, which Is the Joy of the newest debutante, to the sturdy atomacher 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 provalled 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 tho dark, and it cannot digest and grow. See how Blender and pale it Is I 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. Tho many pale girlB who are to bo seen with a bloodless, half baked sort of face, whose walk, whoso voice and whose whole expression is devoid of spirit, are not half ripe. The Queen and Gambling. Though the queen Is to accompany tho king to the grand national next month, she retalnns her dislike for gambling. But some years ago when tho royal party was traveling down by rail for tho derby, the late King Ed ward proposed a half crown sweep stako on the raco, and Princess Mary drew a horse that had a fine chance. Prince Arthur of Connaught having drawn his usual blank, suggested he should buy it from her present maj esty for live shillings. She declined, and held to her chanco, 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 mora quickly." London Oilnlon, GRAMDMA'SPARROT It Could Repeat the Lord's Pray er From Beginning to End, and Then Some. By BRYANT C. ROGERS. Mr. Frod Derwcnt wob twenty-four years old. Ho was referred to as young Derwent, In order not to mix him up with any old Derwent who might havo reached tho ago of a hun dred. Young Derwent was called un artist. This was to distinguish him from the many houso palutora one biiw nt work ovory flno day. llu wna an orphan, adopted nnd reared by his grandmother hi Connec ticut. Shu had much to answer for. Young Derwent developed n talent for sketching with charcoal and chulk. At nine years old hu could sketch n rooster ho naturally that hens would Rather around tho picture and cluck. A year later ho drew such a natural faco of Elder Comstock on a barn door that his proud grandma had to pny a tluo of $10 to keep him out of Jail. Young Derwent managed somehow to pull through until ho was of ago. Then, ns It was apparent to nil but other artists and a few sceuo painters that ho hu was n genius with tho brush, ho waB sent to tho city to set up u studio und blossom out. In tho Bpaco of four years he painted three portraits One was that of an alder man, who went to the state prison for graft within a weok after his picture was finished; the second waft that of a saloon keopor, whose wlfo eloped nnd took tho plcturo with her, nnd tho third was that of n bull-dog, who straight way wont mad and bit his master and no ono blamed him for It. When young Dorwont was not busy with his brush ho played poker, golf, polo und uttended ball games. Ho wasn't at all bad. Ho did not caru particularly about going to heaven when he died, but It is simply impos sible for ono renred under tho laws of Connecticut to bo bad, even with a small "b." Most artists full In lovo at a tender arce nnd kt-cp It up till they strike SO Young Derwent hnd never loved. He might pometinio, but ho wasn't betting on It. Ho was sociable, but did not bfok to mako himself popular. Ho was sntlsricd to go right along bo Ing Mr. Derwent nnd having his grand mother foot tho bills. In tho next apartment to Mr. Dor wenfa studio dwelt Miss llonoro Has well. Sho didn't call her placo an atelier or a studio, but hor ofllco. Her lino wua not mercantile or law, but literary. Sho wrote stories for tho magazines. She rend somo of them to hor intimate friends, but no ono over read ono of them In oold typo. It al ways happened that tho magazines were overstocked with stories In her line whenover sho sent ono In. If they rejected a sporty story and she sat down and invented and sent in a religious one, It was tho samo excuso overstocked. Miss Haswell may havo been an or phan or sho may not. Sho mny have had plenty of monoy, or sho may havo had to pinch. Do that ns it may, she was no kicker. Sho piled her reject ed manuscripts In a. corner of her of fice as they came back. Mr. Derwont and Miss Haswell woro not acquainted. They usod tho same Btalrway, and often bumpod against each other In tho soml-darkncss, but she had never slmled at him, and he had nevor winked at hor. They may havo wondered about each other Bometlmos, but it stopped right thero. Perhaps this was a wlso thing on the part of both, but it is also to bo re memborod that there Is such a thing as carrying wisdom too far. One morning young Derwent awoke with a troubled conscience. A still small voice charged him with neglect ing his grandmother. He hadn't been up to Connecticut to see her for three months, and it had been several weeks since he had written her that she might Bend an extra check. It wasn't using the dear old girl acordlng to Hoyle. She was drying apples and making soft soap, and he was loafing around. She was putting a second mortgage on her stony old farm and scraping the bottom of the flour bar rel, and he waa betting on the ponies and ordering fried eggs ut tho restau rant He would take a run up among the wooden nutmegs and see her and assure her of his undying love and gratitude. Also, that he expected a comralBBlcn to paint a famous por trait The grateful adopted wont further. He would take up somo little present to prove his thoughtfulness and con sideration not an expensive present, but a momento to bo laid away In tho archives after being rolled In camphor. After eating his breakfast ho went strolling to see what bo could find. He had almost decided on a celluloid back-comb, price twenty cents, when he met a sailor carrying a parrot on his arm. "Come to anchor, Jack Rracel" commanded tho artist "Aye, aye, sir! It's a parrot Just from Africa and I'll sell her cheap." "Shiver my tlmbors, but might she make a present for my grandmother?" "Malns'l haul, but you couldn't beat It, matey. Your grandmother would ptizo the bird above rubles." "Can she talk?" x "She says the Lord's prayer three times a day and slugs gospel hymns the rest of tho time. Sho'a ekal toJ a preacher boarding In tho house. Re formed our whole crew, 'coptlng the captlng, on the run from Capetown." "She'd be company for an old wom an," mused the artist , "She a never let an old woman seo a lonely minute. I don't seo how they do without 'om, 'ceptlng they can't find 'cm to buy. Only a dollar for the bird. What d'yo say?" Polly changod hands nt tho prtco, and thereby young Derwent had every j reason to congratulato himself. He nail bought a fine present nt n bargain, and ho hnd provided religious coin pany for his dear grandmother. Polly wnH tnutu and humble. B1iq did not oven look Into tho countem nnco of hor owner to seo whether nil was saint or sinner. A cngo won bought for hor and sho was takon toi tho studio and placed on tho window1 ledge. Tho next day sho was to go up to Connecticut. I'orhups It waa tho words of young Dodwont, and pop haps It was tho sight of Miss linn well's hend out of tho window, that set tho bird talking. Scarcely had Its owner asked It pleaso to favor him with the Ixird'H prayer when tho nn Bwcr cuino: "You can go to " Mlsa Itnswoll waa looking right lute Po1I'b eyes, and the word seemed in tended for hor. They hit like so inanj blowH, ,unl thu laughter of tho artlsl stung llko a whip, although she know that ho didn't know alio was llior by her window. Having awnkoned tc tho business before her, Polly contin tied: "Luff l.ud! Why In don't you luff!" "Thai's no f.ord'H Prayer that 1 ovei heard boforo!" chuckled thu urtlst. "Oh, thu shame of It," exclaimed MIsb Haswell as she changed color several tlmoB In 14 seconds. "It's a Ho!" from Polly. Young Derwent giggled na hi thought of what his fcraudinothci would say. Miss Haswell doubled her flats and Bhut hor teeth and took a resolution "Hard over with your wheel you slouch!" The hall door of tho studio was banged open, and Miss Haswell stood thero with burning chceka and an nounced: "Sir, I will havo you arrested!" "Hut 1 have dono nothing," waa the calm reply. "Your your parrot!" "Bought him uu hour ugo. I didn't tench him to Bwenr, If ho did swear." "You know ho aworo, air you know ho did!" AntL Polly bowed her head In nil humility nnd began on tho Lord'i prayer nnd repeated It to tho lnat word. Young Derwent looked up at tho girl, and sho stammered: "I I thought thought It was swearing I most humbly beg your pnrdon." That evening they ant togothor In the parlor and discussed good and bnd parrots, nlso good and bnd magazlno editors, also, good and bad portrait painters. Mcanwhllo tho parrot Hwore softly to himself nnd muttered that he'd bo If some folks In this world weren't so mighty particular that they ought to get out of It and Into that land where a blrd'could talk as bo pleased without being misunder stood and vilified. Tho artist and tho story writer llkod onch other. In tlmo thoy discovered thoy were Boul-matos. Lator they wero married. Polly went up the country and stuck to tho I.ord'B prayer for a year. Then sho changed off for tho loro of tho sea, nnd young Dnrwent'a grandmoth er wbb found dead In her chnlr. Tho shock had been too great for hor.
