THE TARIFF COMMISSION Senator Hale is not a friend of the tariff commission. Senator Aldrich lis not either except when he 1 talktins to the president, Hence the little ttiff that these two prominent standpatters and statesmen had over a Ismail and Innocent looking question tasked by Senator Beveridge is illumtlnatlng. Aldrich said that the present form lot the tariff commission clause in the jtarlff bill is full and complete and (give the commission all the power 'that it possibly could have. Up rises the venerable Hale and
iays that for his part he is willing
I to state that the conference commit'te took care that it should be com'pletely emasculated, so that it has no force at all. As he himself was on the tariff conference of the two t houses he thought he was in a position to know. Then comes Aldrich even on the jfloorr of the senate and say that hi friend Hale is a liar.
i We are inclined to believe that Hale
was telling the truth and nothing but 'the truth when he said that the con
ference took pains to have the tariff
conftnission put where it would do no
harm to the infant industries.
Senator Beveridge, the dispatches cay will introduce the tariff commis
sion bill next fall at the opening of
ithe next session. With what success
this will meet is hard to say but if
jthe tariff which congress has given the people Is not eminently satisfaeitory it may be that the time will come 'when it wiU be demanded that the tariff be constructed scientifically, i Unless a commission which is a commission and not a farce can be Instituted it will be better to let the blame jfor the tariff rest heavily on those (senators who have not followed the example of Beveridge in protecting Kb rights of the people rather than the coffers of the infant industries.
And we hold to the same view, particularly about public service corporation. The public service corporation dealing as it doe with the necessities of life, and being a form of specialization of function for the whole people in contradistinction to a single class, must have a greater duty to the whole people than any other business form. When a company does business under a franchise it thereby admits from the-inception that it is a servant of the people. Therefore the public has every right to know what the status of the company is. And this is true especially when the company is in the act of renewing its franchise, its contract, in raising its rates, or when certain things are asked of the public service corporation in its capacity of public servant. This is for the protection of the people and the protection o the corporation.
It usually happens, however, that th public service corporation is not anxious to shew the condition of its books and usually dees not do so unless it I forced to by law. The only other times that it does so, a a rule, 1 when the public service corporation is actually being done an injustice or even threatened with it. Then the information comes out with a rush, showing that the company Is going to lose money. Then that evidence appears in court along with an Injunction or what not. Thi rule ha been so consistent, in America that it is safe to say that when a corporation is reticent about its financial status, it is afraid thai th fact will be learned. Why should it be afraid?
Locally this has several applications. The one closest to hand is in the granting of a renewal of contract with the Water Works Company. No new contract should be entered into with the company without full and complete Information about the financial status of that public service corporation.
"a great and useful instrument of transportation is dedicated to the public service." But William Gibbs McAdoo never made a plan nor penciled a design with greater accuracy than be display in something else as important as all his tunneling, all his building, all his financing, in the ultimate bringing of his ideal to full fruition. For he has formulated the one right doctrine of corporate duty, expediency and wisdom a doctrine that, carried into execution, will mean bigger and bigger dividend for these tubes, more tunnels whenever and wherever he advises the digging, more capital at his command at any time he needs it. For
he has the secret of gaining the greatest asset that any public service corporation cap, hope to possess. And he told that secret in these simple words to the cheering people at the 'City Hall In Jersey City: We believe in "the public be pleased" policy as opposed to that of the "public be damned." We believe the railway is best which serve the people best; that rescent treatment of
the public evokes decent treatment from the public; that recognition by the corporation of the just rights of the people results in recognition by the people of the just rights of the corporation. A square deal for the people and a square deal for the corporation! The latter is as essential as the former, and they are not incompatible. Philadelphia North American.

NOT DESIRED BECAUSE HE STOOD CONSISTENTLY FOR PARTY PLEDGES CONCERNING TARIFF REVISION. Washington, Aug. 5. Speaker Cannon has announced the committees for the sixty-first congress. Representative Crumpacker's name was 6tricken from the ways and means committee and the Indiana man, who has stood consistently for tariff downward, will not participate in the framing of any more tariff bills as a mem
ber of the committee in which such
measures originate. The speaker allowed Mr. Crumpacker to remain at the head of the census committee and in the ranking position on the committee on insular affairs. Crumpacker had been a member of the ways and means committee more than a year. In the dying hours of the special session just before the
committees were announce! the speaker handed down the following letter which he had received from Mr.
Crumpacker and it was read from the
clerk's desk:
"Washington, D. C, July 23, 1909. "My Dear Sir I hereby resign my position as a member of the Ways and Means committee to be effective at
once.
"E. D. CRUMPACKER." In the place, on the ways and means committee occupied by Judge Crumpacker, the speaker appointed John W. Dwight of New York, the whip of the house and a faithful and tractable follower of the speaker. Speaker's Indifference Shown. Mr. Crumpacker's resignation ; from the ways and means committee caused somewhat of a sensation and he was plied with inquiries as to the
meaning. The facts as learned from the Indiana member are as follows: Two months ago he had a talk with the speaker in which he told Mr. Cannon that he would like to retain his membership on the ways and means committee and the chairmanship of the census committee and that he was not anxious to serve any longer on the committee on insular affairs. He said further, that if the speaker in the distribution of committeb favors found that it would not be desirable to retain him on both the census and ways and means committees, he would prefer to remain at the head of the census committee and give up the ways and means. The speaker did not indicate at that time what he
would do.

"The Public Be- Pleased 1" A few days ago, at th formal celebration of the opening to public travel f the twin tunnels under the Hudson iriver. that have linked Jry City .with lower Manhattan in a "three minutes from Broadway" bond, thousands of people cheered themselves hoarse a they listened to a few frank,
straightforward words from one of those rare dreamers who make great , dreams come true. Just three or four years ago William Gibbs McAdoo was not even a name to 4,000,000 of' New Yorkers. Some men in the Wall street district knew vaguely that he was a chap who had a 'wild-eyed idea that if anybody would back him with 160,000,000 or $70,000.000 fee could do some newfangled enCineering tricks and send trains from the mainland into th heart of Man Rattan island a project that had been begup and abandoned as impossible many years before. Many other tunnels are being pierced new under the North and the East rivers. But McAdoo's tunnels are opened. And McAdoo probably is the most popular man in New York. McAdoo did -not have the millions for the work. But he raised them. He bad the faculty of inspiring strong men with such confidence that when money was tightest in th panic days
he never had to halt his driving, tire
less rushing of the work for an hour because of funds begrudged.
McAdoo believed his plans were safe and sure. But when his borings shot
Into spouting, whirling, sweeping, cav
ing silt and quicksand, he felt that he
could not risk the lives of hi workmen and the ruin of the work by too
stubborn self-reliance. But he wanted
only a strong man to stand beside him. So he hurried England's ablest
engineer across the ocean, and put himself second in command, until they
had solved the seeming; Impossibility.
There were trouble about termin
al and graft, political and otherwise, 1 not an unknown quantity in New York. But McAdoo mad no noise. He Just "mad food.' and, a a reeolt,

The Coming Boom, the Columbus Ohio State -The stock market continues
to point the way to tremendous industrial prosperity. Already very high, security prices show a pronounced tendency to go higher, with the practical completion of tariff legislation. In some conspicuous instances quotations are already far above what is warranted by present business conditions1 or by dividend return. It may
be sheer manipulation whieh has put
them there, but none the less they show what the financial experts of
the country think of the way things are tending. The stock market always keep ahead of the realities. Tie
steel industry reports steadily increasing activity. The output of the mills is still considerably below normal but each month records a substantial gain.
Railroad earnings show consistent and
in some cases remarkable advances.
The general trade reports are all optimistic. If not as yet enthusaistic. The final disposition of the tariff agi
tation this week may increase the momentum a little but the great influence is the crop situation. When
it is known with a reasonable degree
of certainty that the country is to be
blessed with bumper crops the big
boom will be on.
Unsubstantial. "Don't you know that wine is a mocker?" "Well"," answered CoL Stilweil. "I hadn't thought of It in some time. But as a thirst-quencher I have always regarded ij a a hollow mockery." Seaside Sport. It's a jolly old game you have oft played before
When bathing you go with hilarious din; The sea nettle chases you out on the shore And the merry mosquito will chase you back in.
Diverted Attention. "Do you attend that college professor's lectures?" "No," answered the student; "I find the things be says in printed interview much more interesting."

WAS BIGJURIOSITY Line of Caterpillars That Resembled Snake as It Crawled Along. EXCITEMENT AT MILTON
Milton, Ind., Aug. A curiosity in
the way of caterpillars was seen at
Jsmes Coons' borne yesterday. The caterpillars were probably a quarter of an inch long and were traveling sin gle file in a long column and had the
appearance of a snake. At the head they branched out and had the exact appearance of a double beaded snake. As they traveled they formed curves like those of the snake which became more pronounced as they neared the end of the line. They were crawling near the doorstep outside the door and were first seen by Mrs. Coons, who called her husband, thinking It indeed a snake. Mr. Coons took a stick and divided them, and they would soon creep up and join the ranks again as though they were one solid line. He scalded them and when lengthened out. some were an inch long. Mr. Coons thinks they came from the ground.
