He mijs that "the Tnriff Hill new under lonslderatien Is net a selentilic mensure," nnd that it ieuld net be evpected te be M'lentitlc under the conditions that gov erned Its preparation, e ns finther: Hut neither this tariff mensute nor ny tailft mensure thnt lias eier been passed or cer will be imsced ian be mliiiuate te the needs of the cflintry se letiif as we continue our present sstem of prcpnrliiB tariff 'incisures. This applies uiually te Hepubllcans and Democrats, nnd we all knew it. He innile these remarks In the course of n plea for an amendment te the bill which would enlarge the evlstlng Tariff Conuiils Cenuiils Conuiils slen, broaden its powers, increase the salary of Its members 11 ml provide an ndnpmte up up up piopriatieu for carr.ilug en its work. HI larger lommlssien ii te be non-partisan, and he appealed in the members of both parties te unite 1.1 establishing It. The Senater does net intend that the commission .shall ih rates. That function belongs te Congress, p does Intend, how ever, that it shall gather all the facts neces sary te form a judgment us te what rates should be lelcd in order te protect Ameri can werklngmrn and te maintain the Ameri can wage scale. After gathering the facts the commission would compute the rate of duty which would give the domestic wetker an advantage in his own market nnd would report It te Congress. The lespensibiiitj for niflen would rest upon Congress as it does at the present time. Hut Congress would have authentic Information te guide it. It does net have that Information new. As the Senater snj, the Republicans have assembled a certain amount of Information about the nerds of an Industry and the iJemecrnts have assem bled another certain nmeunt of Information about the same industrv. The Hepubllcan informal Ien Is se different from the Deme- ritilc Infeimntinn that a fair-minded man s i empellec te reject both as untrustworthy An Immense amount of time has been wasted In gathering this worthless Informa tion. The testimony, given before the Senate Finance Committee tills .",(K)0 pages. Senater Frellughit.vsen Is convinced that thire Is net mere than 100 pages of the whole mass that Is competent. The Senater's preposition is that the Tarifr Commission shall ncertnln the differ ence between the costs abroad and the msts nt home and compute the tin Iff in 1 erdinglv. When It s impossible te lenrn the msts he would have the selling price ascertained as the basis for a tariff rote. The commis sioners, of whom there would be ten. ap pointed for life or during geed behavior, would receive a alai.v of iflJ.OllO and would devote their entile time te their cliulci. Thei would be empowered te appoint ml ml viserv committees without compensation and te use all icasenable means for assem bling Information. There is net n valid argument against this general plan, for its purpose is te provide Congress with trustwerth information. Ne one w hesp sole interest Is 111 eipilt.lble pro tective tariff duties, or even revenue duties, can oppose 11, as it is nothing but a plan te get the facts. Its adoption together with the adoption of the prevision row In the Tariff Hill em powering the 1'ie-ideiit te raise or lower the lixed duties bv .10 per cent as the ex igendes of trade demanded would produce a Tariff Lnw much nearer the ideal than anj that has ever been passed. We should then have a flexible tariff that would adjust Itself te 1 hanging conditions with the con cen wnt of Cengiess, and the adjustments would be b,ied 011 a ithentlc and nccurate infor mation gathered ! Impartial and expeit agents of the (cevernment. And when .1 general levlsjen of the tnriff was te be made the needed data would be already at hand. It tl ther Senators will be lis fiank wlih themselves as Senater I'relinghu.vsen bus been the will admit the force of his iiiguuients, even If the.v de net accept his plan Hut it is dilhcult 10 sec hew thev can aciept his arguments, without co operating with him In perfecting his plan nnd .11 cmbed.vlug It In the bill new under disc ussieii. A NEW POSTOFFICE BELATED attention lain been directed te the outworn postal s.vstem In this iltv bv 11 committee of Cengiess, and the mef-t conspicuous suggestion made In the cur icii' report of the Investigators is for "a new postal building of the t'K tery t.vpe" te be elected em Market street between Six tc eiith and Eighteenth. Whj should a governmental building In the center cif a i t like this be "of the facteiv fpe"'.' It is enured prepei that buildings ereetid for national uses should be dlgnihed and beautiful unci, theicfere, 11 lice live of the ethical splnt of the'Uuv 1 rniaent. The people In this my would have n right te object te an building "of the fac tory t.vpe" en Market street, partlculaiiy If it were in a legion which Is enlj begin ning te recover from the depressing effects of the ileml wall maintained b.v the I'enii s.vlviinln Hailrenil between City Hull Siiiare unci Eighteenth street.

AN ESCAPE FROM A LABYRINTH IN UI'ITE cif the luminous obstacles te adjustment which have arisen in the celllse cif the Chile-I'ciu negotiations inn. eeinllig the severelt'iity of the valuable ni trate provinces, tip' nnxleiv of both inter. estul panics te dispose of u vexed nnd pietiuctrd piublem bus been uuiiilstukubly evident On two occasions Mr, Hughes interrencd V.s te seethe Lntln-Amerlrnn sensibilities. In both Instances hp wns successful, with the result that the arbitration protocol Is en the verge of attaining final form. The full details of what Is presumably nil Ingeniously worded agreement are net yet iinneiiiicrd, but It Is evident that prevision has been made for the holding of 11 plebiscite or for arbitration proceedings In rase the program of a general election In Tucna and Allen falls through. In the latter easy Chilean feverelgnty will be continued In the provinces without preju dice te the right of either claimant eeuutry as they exist in International law. While It inny be several jenrn before the Inhabitants of the se-called lest provinces can be sure that whatever ling waving ever them Is permanent, It Is unituestlenuble thnt the progress made at Washington, with the nld of tlie geed eflices of the I'nltcel States, has far surpassed 1111 thing achieved by either Chile or Peru, acting nlcuip en this Intricate pur.zlr. In mere than thirty years. Machlner for arbitration and decisive settlement bus been erected. Heth Chilean and Peruvian delegates bnve demonstrated that their home countries me weary of the controversy which has long jeeparded their own pence and, in an ominous way, the peaceful pregiess of the whole western side of Seuth America. CLASHING MOTOR LAWS IN A letter printed en another page today Commissioner Dill, of the Moter Vehicle Depaitment of New .terse, accuses us of Inceriectly tnting the causes of friction between read authorities en this side of the river and truck owners from his State, who have been complaining because of the en- forcement of a law which restricts the ..e- fulness of .Jersey tags i Penii-jhi.nl.i. Hut Mr. Dill touches , the surface of 11 situation which needs te be reviewed te the bottom. His memory doesn't tun se fur backward as It should. It is true that the Moter Vehicle Law en nctcd nt llnrrlsburg In 1!M!1 Imposes what seem like unfair restrictions en truck own ers fiem ether Stiites. who must register their M'hleles and obtain Pennsylvania tags if they wish te cress the line mere thnn once a week or oftener than fifty times in a jenr. Mr. Dill declares that he does net knew why that law ever was passed. He should knew, however. It was passed In emulation of a policy of restriction that prevailed previously In New .leisey. The principle Involved is wrong, whether it be applied nt Harrlsbuig or at Trenten. Of late jenrs it has been the habit of Li'glslutuies te view meter-license fees as a sort of read tax for general maintenance of hlghw.ijs and as the basis of read-bulld-ing funds. Abuse of the reads b.v some umt of heav.v trucks made It desirable thnt the States which spend enormous suins for re.nl work should have means te keep u check en these who arc disposed te abuse the privilege of meter licenses bj Ignoring rules laid down for the protection of new nnd old highways from deliberate destruc tion. Hut the fact remains that the first outer against "foreign" motorists, the first restrictive laws and the first arrests of driveis with "foreign" tnjrs occurred in New .lerse.v jears age. The complaints of Pennsjlvanla drivers who were penalized for using the .Jersey reads without having obtained .lerse.v tags had as much as any thing else te de with the pas-age m Hiinls burg of what was frankly intended as n measure of reprisal. When the trouble began New .Jersey could claim with some justice te be the original geed -mads State in this part of the country. .Ier-eves, partly In cause of the favoring topography of their State and partly because of the relation of geed leads te agricultural development, weie among the first te go scientifically about the cie.i cie.i tien nnd maintenance of a comprehensive geed -reads system. They spent their money without "tint. Hut te placate the farmers, who pah most of the taxes, the State au thorities had tinally te seek means by which some of the burden could be shifted te meter owners who were drawn In increas ing multitudes te .lersev. It was then, when almost all ether States were dilfting toward a mle of universal reciprocity under which full mid unlimited highway rights were accorded every where te motorists who didn't happen te be displaying the tag of a State given te dlv ilmliiatlnn, that the Jersey authorities began te devise lenrlc -tive measure's. Mr. Dill Is right In insisting that tlie restrictions new applied are ni nine futile nnd unjust. Hut his State and elepartmcnt helped te create the policy of icsiiictien. Preperlv, the reads of the country ought te be erganl7ed as one system and thcic should be none of the discrimination that, viewed rationally, Is calculated te restrain trade, and even social relationships, between the peoples of ndjelning Commonwealths. We ate new In a transient phase of read regulation Laws lately enacted In many States were eenielvtd in spite or irritation. They will net last. The Pennsylvania Moter Vehicle Act as It relates te the small cemnietcinl trucks of farmers ought te be revi.ec, it only because the authorities in Jersey have lived and leained te be mere tolerant In the years thnt have pusses! since they used te send out meter scouts te imnid up and line Pennsylvmilans who hnd been longer than two weeks en their highways without having registered their cars untl paid tlie required license fees A SEA TRAINING CAMP THE Incieaseil possibilities of a cuieer In the American mere ham marine lend te activities of the Pennsylvania training ship Annapolis a practical Importance unearned by the old AdamK and the old frigate Sara toga in the days when the commercial fleet uniler the national flag was nunc of an lib ni than an actuality. The educational value of the State schoelship syteni has never been denied, Cadets who. In addition te courage, self reliance and "handlness," were specifically taught navigation and seamanship, and nc ciuired 11 cosmopolitan outlook through travil, were unepiestlenably well equipped te become weilh) cltlens. Hut at tin' time the Adams was aban doned and the s.vstem broken up several years age opportunities In the merchant marine were far from premising. The young men studying en the Annapo lis, however, need net feel that the field for realizing 11 profit en thilr education Is sterile. The phenomenal expansion of the mere bant marine his given rise te an 1m perutivc need for well-trained ship's oflj eflj ceis nnd seamen. The passage of the Subsidy I till is ex pected te establish the cargo mid passenger fleet en a solid and flourishing basis, It is paitieultirly fitting that Pennsylvania, one of the foremost of shipbuilding State's, should be systematically developing im ex. pert personnel for the revived merchant ma rine. The Annapolis, which sailed clown the "American Clyde" ycsteiday en mute for lis first European cruise under the auspices of this Commonwealth, carried seventy-five c.iil"ts a goodly number for this compara tive! small vessel. The boys will see Liver Liver peel, Havie, (iibriiltar and their fascinating "hinterlands," with n hemeiviml-hiiiiiid cull at delightful Miiilcini. The stimulation of their imaginations, and Ihe expansion cif their vision thieugh direct acquaintance with new scenes and pceplea will bn by no means miner subjects in the curriculum of their studies. , . 1 AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT When Yeu Build Your Big Heuse Build Alse a Smaller One te Which Yeu May Retire When the Grass hopper Becomes a Burden IJy SARAH I). LOWR1E "MOT long no 1 was dining In a very pleasant modem country house en one "f the low-rolling stretches of country en I-eng Island. It was n warm June evening and we were dining out In n sort of glassed terraced room opening en the flower garden. There was something iibettt the garden, something about the long, low, conifertdhle stone house indoors and out that was vaguely familiar le me. jet I had never met the hostess, .Mrs, tpry n,pp9, before that evening end I had never been In that part of Leng Island before thnt day. I had been interested when I knew thnt I "flu te dine with Mrs. I'hlpps. because as a Philadelphia!! I was naturally very np precluthe of what Mr. Phlpps bad done in his great endowment of the tuberculosis clinic here with us. The fact that his lainlly h getieresitj toward that weik still gees en, though he is new tee ill and shut awuj from active Interests of any kind, made me cletiblj eager te saj te Mrs. Phlpps what 1 Knew a great many of us feel here In town genuine Mirrow that we cannot us the years go by express te h, 0Ur K,utltude for his splendid gilt that still gees en strength enlng our hands te light the, "white pluguc" In our midst. UTLLh, as I spl0 ,,f Philadelphia and of VV Hip P,p,m clinic there Mrs Phinns said that she hei'elf hud been veryilltle , In Philadelphia, hut that slip felt as theii-h ..! . V'" '" " ult f Philadelphia, cer, said she, "this hoiise was built by eue of jour aichitecls, Triimbauer!" A, ..I .1 , .. ' ,-"""'" ...I ini'ii t rcuiireci mat what wns familiar te me was well accounted for. I asked her If she did net enjev It. Its pleasant spaciousness seemed very restful, and it wok gracefully set en the crest of Its rise of meadow. She sighed a little end said it seemed tee big. with all her children mar ried and gene their ways nnd only herself eft te enjev it. And then the talk drifted te the whole matter of houses nnd of their nignrss, a bigness which .seemed icasenable nt one pciled of the family life nnd cumber some and resoundingly lonely at n later period. I was reminded of an old gentleman whom I knew who at the age of eighty stated iiiitiiviy tlint the "grasshopper was a burden te ' fin. or in less picturesque terms that he was tee tired mid frail te enjoy, or Indeed Je endure, the stir and bustle of n huge laiiiily connection, or the care and respon sibility of the large house which had once been just adequate and no mere for the family needs. Se he had simplified life bv moving quite out of the family home nnil cnvlieiimcnt. nnd had begun life again en a si'iile thatvvas ns nearly us possible like that of bis eanlest housekeeping as it young man starting out with few requirements and few possessions. I found my bestehs keenly In terested In the ole gentleman's experiment. She leferred le It later with a sigh some thing like envy. "Fer you knew." she said. "It ,s per fectly true! There comes n time when the mere iden of coping with all the famllv and friends that ought te fill n great house, net te speak of the servants that are necessary te keep It In order, is a bur. en that tires you te think about. The things thnt used te seem nothing te you weigh you down, even" and she glunced with an nppieciu the smile at her very pleasant nnd nble com panion and .secretary "even if some one cIm- lifts that biiiden by acting for you." I THOUGHT at the time and I have thought since that in building their great big houses the Amerlc men would de well te consider the time thnt will surely come when for the purposes of their wives or even for themselves what was once n con venient roominess will become 11 large burden, sometimes a financial burden and always a burden of care. The English, whom we bnve copied In this matter of great houses, learned uv long expei leiiee. I suppose. In provide ter this nei d, Somewhere en the premises where they have established their large family house there Is another house, net less attractive or elegant or charmingly furnished, but much, much '-mailer. Ample 100m for a small family and for the servants and guests of a few persons, but easier e run, easier te keep up, and cozy when- the ether house was noble or grand in its propei liens. Always in novels for I have no ac quaintance with them outside of fiction always In novels I have felt sorry for the dowager duchesses or ceuntesscH 'or noble ladles who have had tei retire te the dowager houses en the deaths of their husbands in order te let the eldest son of the race dwell in the house of his fathers en coming into the estate, but new I see the wisdom and also the pleasantness of It. Just ns the grasshopper begins te be n burden or threatens te feel heavy en one's shin as one walks through the garden just at that mo me inent life is simplified for one. Instead of having te be the famllv renter, the person le whom nil the children nml the "in-laws" come back te for a summer outing or for week-end parties 01 for the helidavs, and nil the rest of the year being obliged te live in a house much tee big, one can rctiie te a charming house, just as much the family house, tee! And with all the air of com fort and pleasant heii looms one inn see the family quletlv, one at u time, when the big house with nil its associations, sad or glad. Is carried en by the younger genera tion who likes stir mid bustle and unex pected comings mid goings, and te whom a big house partv with luggage and miners and servants of their own, just means or dering mure feed and hiring mere helpers. IT IS very dlflieult for men nnd women in their prime, lit ulene boys mid clils In their icsiless youth, te comprehend that fatigue and Instinct te save oneself agita tion that comes te elder persons in tM, midst of n stirring fnmlly life, just as one Is often surprised te observe hew quietly one would almost say hew Indlffeie ntl'v persons getting em In years take tlie deaths and partings that one would suppose would leave tliem vrv stranded nnd broken Something thnt is net Indifference conies te tlit 11- rest ue. which f suspect Is ,, jj of 11 well-learned, hard-eariied philosephv that ihev gently nnd firmly npplv te save themselves from fighting fate. Thev quite dellherntelv de net feel, or rather the.v have learned te quiet themselves undir strong feeling with the Instinct that some i force which they need te carry en with would snnp under strong feeling. They try te let things come fimn for, far away te them, nnd as though they were occurring te some one eise, ier wimni "'. -"ir., out from the subject of whose Ills they gently changed tlie conversation. This is net selfish, take it. any mere than eating when one Is hungry wit, f0( before one s selfish; It is just preservative of the life feri c by the means that lie at hand. , , , And lust as there should be dower houses for duchesses dowagers, se there should bn easv, sunny bnsklng soul places for the IIP nnd women who have borne their share wlilln their physical powers were at their best Net thnt thev nre retired from life, or net Important te life, but se life pressing in iipn them should be without undue piessure or strain, if possible.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Knew Best MRS. ELIZABETH H. ERSKINE On Educating the Parents TUB business of educating parents In the pieper manner in which te treat their children is one of the problems of children's societies, says Mrs. Elizabeth II. Ersklne, secretary of the Pennsylvania Society te Protect Children from Cruelty. ".Seiektlcs such us ours," s.iltl Mrs. Erskinc. "exist te try te secure for the child the proper standard of care in their own homes and te protect them from delinquency, neglect or eiuel treatment, whether tlal end be uttnlneel by moral suasion, as is "eneralh the case, or by lcgai compulsion when p'ersunslen fails. Most of our cases nre settled by the workers without the ne -cessitv of nrrest or the taking away of the children, both of which are only clone n:, 11 last lesert. We try te icsciie the children fiem vicious nnd degrading surroundings, te prevent children from appearing In dunger dunger eus public performances, or where they have been used ns beggars, which frequently hap pens, te cnfoice Ihe laws te assist miner ehildien Tim Parents' Responsibility "IVihaps the most important of all the work which w try te de Is te awaken the sense of 1 expansibility in the parents 1 as te their duties tevvaid their children. Ii this could be thoroughly brought about there would be little work for such organizations as we lepiesent nnd the standard of eom eem munltv life would be infinitely ruNnl. "Where It Is found necessary te icnieve 11 child ft urn its own home, every effeit is and should be. made te place that child with 0110 of Its own kin. if suitable ones cun bn found. It is lenllv wonderful what cllerU thev will make for each ether under such circumstances unci the lengths te which even the poeler families will go te retain one of their own blend in tii tnmily cliv.c. we give tills attitude every enceurngemi nt pos sible, hut if this solution be found net pos sible, then the child is placed with a suitable famllv ns a boarder.' "Children are remarkably responsive ns a rule and It is amazing what can be done with tiicin when their environment Is changed for the better, as Is Inevitably the case when we have te remove children fiem their own inrenls. Illustrating this, I mav say that we have had 11 number of chlhlrcu with whom this extreme course was nceissary, who have graduated from various Institu tions, some ns graduate ninsps and luniK ethers who have turned out iiiiusu illy well mid nic new lillinp position- of responsi bility with much credit te themselves. Net Se Much Physical Cruelty "There Is net new nenily se much phys ical crueltv as there was fermeily, but theic Is still a'n Immense amount of cruelty through neglect. In our own office nlenc v,e iiceive about 2001 1 complaints a .war, even one of which is tboreugblv investigated and'iemedlecl as far lis possible. The chief items in the neglect nrralgnment aw Im proper housing, bad sleeping airmigi uicnts, nml these Mil cases where the patents have no Interest in their homes or 111 ihecr children. There nre also many ni-es in which the ehildien are net pieperly fed or clothed. , . "Most of the enses of cruelty newada.vi nrlse through the Ignorance of the parent as te just whnt the proper living conditions of their ehildien should be nnd these te which every child is rightfully entitled. I'suiillv this is the reason, although theie are still many cnes In which general vicious, ness, HI temper or Intemperance am the causes. Hut I should sa.v that ignorance, 1 (-suiting ninny times in unintentional ciuelty, is the chief cause of the complaints which' we get. .,,... "Paients are usually resentful at first nt such weik as vw de, but the werlais en deavor 10 get held of the personality of (he parents In such manner as makes for friendliness, nnd they generally huccecd te a U'lnaiknble degree. Tlie Parents' Attitude "As u result of this, the attitude of the parents tevvaid the children's organisatiens seen becomes filcndly. and this Is especially Un case where interference was icquiieel by their own ignorance. We have had many of iliciii come wiiuntnilly le us ami espies Hit i 1 gratitude for having shown I hem u belli r uiaiiiiei anil slaudaid of living mid ndiull frankly that what had been none for the children has strongly affected t!ir parents themselves for Iho better. Muny of them keep in touch with us and continually Beck SOME MISCHIEF STILL TO DO better modes of living for themselves as well as for their children. "Much medical weik Is also necessary, for the parents, very often as well as fei the children. If, for example, there is the case of a tuberculeus mother, she nnd the ether children, as well as the specific one nbeut whom the complaint xvas. made, arc cared for, nnd te prevent recurrence all cases nre carefully followed up. Mailing Hcttcr Cltircns "The essence of tlie work is, of course, te give the children n better chunce in life and te make better men nnd women of them nnd carry them up fiem the ranks. W naturally get many complaints of foreign born families whose individual standards of living de net come up te the American standard. In some of the foreign coun tries there Is a tendency te exploit children, mnklng them work bard and long, and these people de net understand that they cannot de this in the I'nlted States and it is elilti cult In some instances te convince them of that fact. Children Help Parents "It very fiequently happens lhat children who have been taken uway from tl. ir own homes leturn later and de splendid service In raising the standards of the parents themselves. These standards me gradually going upward and, while there is still mm h te be done, I am rather optimistic us te the outlook for the future. "There is un nwnkenlng all ever the country ami T think all ever the world ns te the needs of childhood nml the verv cogent reasons why these neeiis should be supplied. Iho only thing te de is te keep persistently in touch with these parents nnd te educate them as te their responsibilities and th-j reasons why these cannot be neglected. It Is frequentlv slew work with delinquent par ents, and until the workers get firmly en the footing of friendship the work is hard and often unsatisfnt tery. Hut nfter that Is ac complished, the pi egress s real and rapid, "It is net sufficient te rescue n child from eruelty- and then te drop the famllv. They must be kept after, put en their fei't, shown the better living standards and followed up until they are actually living up te these standniels. Sometimes there me phvslcnl defects te be remedied, and In ether 'cases Is the work of years. Hut it pays in the end, in every case." What De Yeu Knew? QUIZ .!' iWi1". YaH lh '!"" """way King? 2.
