Is it going be possible to get through the sente and bouse a tariff bill which will leet the approval or President Taft? Will President Taft veto a bill which oes not meet his approval? These are Questions which are perurbing the minds of senators and repesentatives. When statesmen go to e white house to discuss the tariff. ,e president hears them and smiles enially, but as a rule he doesn't comhit himself. Early in the game he nnounced that he would veto any bill Wch did not square with the promkes Of revision, contained in the plat pnn upon which he was elected, and p saying he put 4t up to congress to hune a bill which would so square. : Not a Tariff Expert.

SWINBURNE, 'THE POET OF HUMANITY'

Algernon Charles Swinburne is dead. The last of a great line of English poets has drunk the wine from the green grapes. But Algernon Charles Swinburne is not dead. A prophet never dies, though the heedless mob cries ''Crucify him!" and Barabas is released. It is Swinburne's fate that today the servants of the high priest can find no more accurate description of him than he was "a poet of passion." A thousand years from now a more highly civilized world will know him as a poet of humanity. The last of a great line of English poets will have become the first of a new line, "fresh girt for service of the latter lyre." Swinburne failed of full apprecia tion in bis generation, because his heart was of another day, while his mind was genius. He dwelt in the absolute realms of art, where "there are no degrees of comparison. - He set a new standard for English lyrics. He discovered new beauties in the tongue of Chaucer and Shakespeare and Mil ton and Byron and Shelley. The marvelous musical possibilities of English prosody which Poe heralded were developed by Swinburne into a superb art. Poe was the morning star, Swinburne the refulgent sun of that new day which cannot die with him. Poe's work was desultory; Swin burne's was sweeping. It had in i it the surge of the sea which he loved, the roar of the winds, the heat of the sun, the throb of rich red - blood in angry veins, the bitter defiance of the desperate, the cry of children an hungered, the mighty prophetic song of the free. ate the application of "gag" rules Is not in fashion. Concessions will have to be made there, or passage of the bill will be delayed indefinitely. . Then, when the bill goes to conference, there will have to be more compromises. It is plain that it will be impossible to carry out any pre-arranged program of tariff legislation. The bill when it finally is ready for submission to the president will owe its form more to chance than to party pledges or to the desires of its framers. It is here the danger lies. Payne nor Dalzell nor Aldrich .nor any of the other republican leaders in congress can tell even approximately, the form the tariff bill will have when the conference reports have been agreed to by both houses. It will simply be a case of luck favoring the leaders If It is in form to meet the president's ap-provaL

"The heart of the ruler is sick and the high priest covers his head, For this is the song of the quick that is heard in the ears of the dead. The poor and the halt and the blind are keen and mighty and fleet. Like the sound of the blowing of wind is the sound of the noise of their feet." In an age that gave birth to consummate technicians in art, Swinburne was a master of technics. Other English poets had exhausted-, the classical forms of rythm and tinkling rhyme. He departed from the old standacds. He found music .indiscords. He made rythm a livingfthing, he marshaled the rejected consonants and charmed a world. He was the Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner of English verse all in one. But he was a revolutionary. The rulers gibbeted him for treason and the high priests burned him for heresy and gross immorality the gross immorality being thrown in for good measure. One of the aristocracy of intellect, he followed his heart to the poor and the halt and the blind. These were his own, but his own knew him not., His reward in life was to be a "poet of passion." Don't buy his poems; but if you do, keep the bookcase locked. He was yet a young man when be wrote the "Garden of Prosperine." Truly a prophet then, he had a vision of his own latter days. 'I am tired of tears and laughter And men that laugh and weep; Of what may come hereafter For men that sow to reap. I am weary of days and hours Blown buds of barren flowers, Desires and dreams and powers, And everything but sleep. "From too much love of living From hope and fear set free We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives forever. That dead men rise up never, : That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea. "Nor star nor. sun shall waken. Nor any change of light. Nor sound of waters shaken :- Nor any sound or sight; 'J"' ; Nor wintry leaves nor vernaj. - - Nor days nor things diurnal. W7 Only the sleep eternal Ax " In an eternal night." A weary river has wound at last to the abysmal. A genius has' receded Into the infinite, whence it came.

BOSSY GRATEFUL TO HER RESCUER She Found a Man Who Understood the Prayerful Notes, "Moo-o" MILKING TIME HAD PASSED FREDERICK D. GREENE, AMHERST '85, KNEW WHAT TO DO AND THE FERRYBOAT PASSENGERS WATCH WITH INTEREST. New York, April IT. In the ordinary pastoral, which occupies space in the magazines in the foolish season-the kind-faced cow, which extends her head over the bars of the farmyard fence, always says "Moor short and crisp, with only two o's and an exclamation point. But this particular cow began with something that sounded more like "Moooooo:" longer, and rather pathetic sounding. Several hundred of Jersey folk from Montclair Heights and Upper Montclair and Montclair itself and all the settlements on this and the other side of the Montclairs were on an Erie ferry boat yesterday morning when they first heard this pathetic "Moooooo:" To be exact, they beard it when they were running from the train to catch the boat. And. they, heard it as they passed down the gangway onto the boat and it became louder and longer and more persuasive as the boat slid out of her slip and headed for 23rd street on this side. Praying Notes of "Mooooooooo!" Meanwhile, shut up In a-' perfectly good crate as crates go and loaded, on an express wagon was the finely bred Jersey cow from which came, at shortening ; intervals, . the pleading, urging, begging, almost praying notes of that "Mooooooooooooooo f And just then there emerged from the cabin a well dressed man of medium height, who walked over to the express wagon and in a quiet, pleasant voice said two magic words "So, boat. The cow since we do not know her name we may call her Gwendolenlooked the speaker of the words full in the face and said "Moooooo r There were- fewer o's fa "tMa "Moo!- than fn any tf those that bad preceded it, sad tfca tone wUa which It was uttered con

veyed confidence that At last there wa3 somebody who understood. The man it may as well be said right here that he was Frederick D. Greene, assistant general agent of the New York Association for Improving the Condition cf the Poor, that he lives at Upper Montclair and that he was graduated from Amherst in 1885 returned the look, again murmured, "So boss: gently as before, and banding his light topcoat stick and gloves to a man nearby, took off his undercoat, rolled back bis cuffs and searched for a loose slat on the crate. There was none, o he just put bis hands between the bars and said "H'lst!" Cow Lifts Hind Foot. The cow lifted her off hind foot and put in down eight or ten Inches further back on the floor of the crate than it had been. Then Mr. Greene took hold and began milking. It is not known where the cow came from, nor whither she was go ing, nor how long she had been traveling on the Erie. Also there apparently was no one else on the boat who knew what was the matter with her. But Mr. Greene has a summer home at Andover, Mass., where he keeps cows and has studied their psychology, and this study had taught him that any normal, well regulated cow gets , so accustomed to helping out the children and other milk drinkers of the world every once In so often that when the accustomed time comes she has an impulse to do good, and that if this-Impulse in Inhibited there is likely to be there is sure to be an acute reaction of the nervous system made manifest in the Moo!" Mr. Greene Knew What to Do. Mr. Greene knew all this. If the others from Montclair Heights, Upper Montclair, Montclair itself and the surrounding settlements did not; and bein not only a psychologist but a practical man. he knew what to do and did It without hesitation. The boatload of passengers looked on with interest. It had. been many years since some of them had left the farm, and moat of them had never helped much TO THE FARMERS:

Kl with the chores even before they -went away from the '.old home. Some of them were for criticising Mr. Greene's methods because he was wasting so much perfectly good Jersey milk, which, moreover, It could be proved at a glance was coming from a real cow. But there were no milk palls at hand on the boat, and the foaming fluid streamed down from the express wagon . to the deck of the ferryboat and formed little rivulets in all directions. ,
