I Penrose and Dalzell Holding High Placet are Naturally Members of the Committee and It Follow That State's interest Will be Carefully Guarded. The tariff bill nenrs completion and the indications are that it will receive the signature of President Taft sev eral weeks before the time for the Betting in of fall trade, leaving noth ing to stand in the way of the re newed period of prosperity go long anticipated. The bill is now in con ference committee having been sent there by the House by a vote of l'ti to 151, after its passage in the Senate by a vote of 45 to 34. The bill as passed by the Senate carries 847 amendments made by that body to the measure as it was originally re ceived from the Houbc. If any industry In the United Statra has bpen halted because of a fear that some duty In the Payne-Aldrlch bill, as the measure will hereafter be known, might be fixed at too high n rate it Is new in position to know Just how high that duty can go at the out side. On the other hand, if any manu facturer has hesitated until he was assured Just how low a rate might be decided on for his product he now knows the worst, for now that the tariff bill has reached the conference stage no rate may be arranged from this time on that will be lower or higher thau the limit fixed either in the House or the Senate. In other words, the worst that can happen is determined, and so Is the best, and the ultimate rates will be within the lines thus drawn. Two of Pennsylvania's most protnl nent men are members of the confer ence committee Senator Boies Ten' rose and Representative John Dalzell With this representation members of the Pennsylvania congressional dele gation confidently predict that the manufacturers of the Keystone state will be fully protected and that they will be satisfied with the measure the committee will report back to the House and Senate. As a member of the finance conr mittee Senator Penrose was able to Increase drastic reductions In the Dlngley rates adopted by the House. Senator Penrose's friends have re peatedly congratulated him upon the splendid record he made during the deliberations of the Senate on this new tariff measure. Mr. Penrose' vigilance In the Interest of the Penn sylvania manufacturer and laboring man was never relaxed for an Instant from the time the bill wns reported to the Senate until it wn finally passed by that body. One of the last amendments agreed to was offered by the senior Pennsylvania Senator and It was one that Insures protec tion to an Important branch of the Iron and steel industry of this Com monwealth. Increasing as It does the duty on fish plates used In railroad construction. That both Senator Penrose and Mr. Dnlzoll should be in the conference by reason of their special knowledge of the matters that will be In dispute between the two houses and because. also, of their proved ability to deal with Important questions, cannot he successfully challenged. The finance and ways and means committees, of which they are members, nre the two principal committees of Congress. Ap pointment to one or the other Is recognition of special fitness. High rank on either Is evidence of ability of the firRt class. In Congress the natural law of the survival of the fittest works with less check than In almost any other field that might be mentioned. Leadership is won only by those equipped to lead. The two Pennsylvanians referred to occupy the positions they do In each branch of Congress, because they have earned them. Their right to be in the con ference cannot be questioned, there fore, for any except reasons of geog raphy or opposition to Pennsylvania Interests. It will be reassuring to rennsylvanlans to have Senator Pen rose and Representative Dalzell in the conference. They, with others of this state in the House and Senate, have prevented a threatened absolute slaughter of the interests of this com monwealth. In the final process of perfection of the tariff bill they will be able to safeguard what has been preserved against the attacks of the Middle West, the head and front of adverse sentiment and action. In the minds of many people, ap parently, It Is still a very much vexed question as to whether the new meas ure is a genuine compliance with the spirit of the Chicago platform. Just now the answer to that suggestion de pends upon the point of view. One careful analysis demonstrates that, though the bill as It went from the Senate embraces 847 amendments and carries many increases as compared with its provisions when reported by the House, there t a revision down ward all along the line as contrasted with the Dignley rates. That being the case the Republican party has net been recreant to its own declarations of last year nor defiant of the wishes of President Taft, unsustained charges to the contrary notwithstanding. Nat urally the Democrats are making much of this phase of the situation and are threatening and predicting all manner of dlsnster to the Repub lican party. They have done this be fore, however, and have ever failed to realize their hopes and ambitions. It is not to be expected that the new bill will stand as It passed the Senale. Doubtless there will bo some disap pointments when finally the presi dent's signature is aflixed to it, but on the whole it will he a workable measure to which the business of the cpuntry will speedily adjust Itself. Senator Aldrlch has announced that the monetary commission appointed more than a year ago expects to mako a report at the coming regular session of Congress. This Is good news. It is much better that Mr. Aldrlch had stricken out of the tariff bill the House provision for more Panama canal bonds. This Indicate that tho coming measure Is to be a radical one and that I what the country wants. We have had so much currency tink ering In the past 4"i years thnt it I high time the country got a new start with a clean sheet. Mr. Aldrlch has announced thnt he wishes to make the new currency bill his legislative monument and has also Indicated that he would like to make It his valedic tory. Doubtless many persons nre dis satisfied with his management of the tariff bill. No such bill ever got through without leaving much heart burning In Its wake. But If there Is an Aldrlch currency bill that Is on a sound basis It will be a monument which any legislator might envy. It Is encouraging to know thnt It is soon to be before the public. The nominees of the recent Repub lican state convention are to be for mally notified in Philadelphia on Saturday, July 17. The candidates are Judge Robert von Moschzlsker of Philadelphia, nominee for Supremo Court Justice; former Senator J. A. Stober of Lancaster, nominee for State Treasurer, and Senator A. E. Slsson of Krle, nominee for Auditor General. Judge von Moschzlsker's de cision to remain upon the Common Pleas bench and to take no part In the campaign Is In accordance with a well-established precedent. Chief Jus tice Mitchell and Associate Justices Fell and Mestrezat, at present on the Supreme bench, having followed that plan. A Testimonial.

New Use For Wheelbarrow. Mrs. 7,ella Nuttall, the archaeologist, was making some excavations In Mex ico. The Indians were removing tho earth some distance from the point of excavation In the customary manner thnt Is, on a piece of coarse cloth tied between two poles, stretcher fashion, carried by two Indians This method seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut tall, so she ordered several Iron wheel barrows from the city. When they nrrlved she turned them over to the foreman after explaining to him what they were for and how to use them. Next day when she visited the work the Indians had discarded their primi tive pnrlhuelns and were using the bright new wheelbarrows. As each barrow was filled with earth It was picked up by two Indians, one'iislng the handles and the other the wheel, and carried to the place where the earth was to be deposited. All efforts to get the Indians to use the wheel barrows properly failed, and they kept on carrying them until the work was finished. Wliat I.
