Independent Oil Refiners, Pittsburg", Pa. STATE'S INTERESTS GUARDED Interesting Exposition by President Taft of His Tariff Views Shows That He Is In Perfect Accord With the Republican Party Platform. There is every reason to believe IhHt the Tariff bill the conference committee will eventually report , to the House and Senate will contain no drastic reductions in the schedules with which Pennsylvania Industries are directly concerned. The com mittee In reaching an agreement upon nearly all of the new rates that affect the Industrial Interests of the Kov stone State has, it Is true, made changes here and there, but In the main It has accepted most of the amendments adopted by the Senate at the Instance of Senators Penrose and Oliver. These amendmenta provide substantial Increases In the Iron and steel, chemical, cotton and other schedules of vital Importance to the labor and capital of Pennsylvania. That these Increases are likely to remain in the bill is due to the fart that Senator Penrose as a member of the conference committee successfully defended them when they were at tacked by conferees who Insisted upon lower rates. Members of the Penn sylvania Congressional delegation are highly gratllied over the outlook. Thry had feared that in the struggle of the House conferees for the adoption of the House rates some of the Penn sylvania Industries might be sacri ficed. They all Join in enthusiastic ally praising Senator Penrose for the fight he has made in behalf of the interests of this Commonwealth. It Is likely that the conference com mittee would have reported back the Tariff bill by this time had it not been for five propositions which have acted as stumbling blocks to an agree mentIron ore, coal, hides, oil and lumber and upon which the Presi dent has been represented as stand ing firm for radical reductions or even an abolition of the tariff. Regarding the placing of raw materials upon the free list, the President on July 16, fol lowing a conference with over a score of Congressmen, issued a statement a careful rending of which shows a door left open to the conferees to en able them to fix any reasonable schedules they please as long as the new rates represent lower duties than are carried in the Dlngley bill. As far as raw materials are concerned, It Is evident that the President will not In sist upon a free list, but will accept a modification of the Senate rates, which is probably all that that body hoped to secure in the face of the di rectly opposite stand taken by the House on several of the more im portant Items. President Tafts exposition or his tariff views does not differ in any es sential from the creed of the most stralght-laced protectionists. He stands squarely on the tariff plank of last ear as strong a statement of protec tion aa any that was ever written. It declares for protection wherever pro tection Is needed and so does the President. Mr. Taft is not In favor of levying duties protective In their character where protection Is not needed, In which position he also stands with his party. He does not contend that competition in the shelter of protection unfailingly re duces cost of production, rendering tariff rates In all cases unnecessarily high, but admits exceptions to that the same as to all other rules. He takes reasonable ground aa a reason able man. He does not hold that all rates ought to be reduced, but only such as have become excessive, and he states that some ought to be In creased because changing conditions have rendered them non-protective. To the Republican members of Con- gresB who visited him to ask that he use his Influence to have raw ma terial such as hides, coal and petro leum kept on the dutiable list the President, after repeating the Republi can tariff plank, said that he "hnd always understood that 1t meant a downward revision In many instances. though perhaps In some few instances an Increase might be needed." As to whether either of the commodities which had been brought to his atten tion needed protection, was, he said "a question of fact which he hoped to make up his mind with respect te en such evidence as was available to him, in order to carry out what he understood to be the promises of the party to the whole people." Also, he said that the question in each case was a question of fact to be determ ined by evidence as to whether the present duty was needed for protec tion or whether the rate was exces sive. Unreasoning and unreasonable ad vocates of downward revision on everything may find comfort in Presi dent Taft'a statement that "he was committed to a downward revision of the tariff." But he is not for "down ward revision" with closed eyes. He makes It clear that revision should be with regard for full protection. He Is no advocate of a mere tariff for revenue. He Is as strongly de termined upon preservation of Ameri can standards as the Republican tariff Blank. Since he la guided by Its ex pression, as nu points out, be could not be otherwise. In this connection It is pertinent to quote from the Republican tariff plank to show upon what lines the elected delegates of the rnnk and file of Republicanism believed revision should be carried out, the same being a guide for Congressional action. "In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best main tained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable proltt to American industries, the aim and purpose of the Re publican party being not only to pre serve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high stand ard of living of the wage earners of this country whe are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective ays-tern." The Pole Star. TJrsn Major ami Ursa Minor art known also us the trlones and as tin Greater Wain and the Lesser Wain. 1: Is curious to note that the larger con stollatloii was given the tli;ure of tlx bear by the Arabs ami by the Iroquoh ml men. The assumed forms are or tllnnrlly fanciful, nnd the Identity ol the names In this lustanee affords food for speculation. Homer uses both beat and wain (wagon) In his references tt these stars. It Is evident that tlx name bear was it translation froic some original Aryan language, as tlu constellation Is called In Sanskrl rlksbn, a word that in different gen ders means both a lcar and a star. (): course the polar star In the tall of TJrsi Minor Is the constellation's point ol glory. In this ense we may say falrlj that the tall wags the dog, because the group of stars was once called tin dog's tall, or cynosure. From that wi have our wonl cynosure, that toward which all eyes turn, as to the dog't tall for sight of the pole star. Minne apolis Tribune. How Nora Coaxtd the Tips. A group of women were standing Ir the corridor of a summer hotel when an aged scrubwoman started upstair with n pnll of water. Just then I bright faced, buxom Irish chamber maid came up. "This looks purty heavy for the llket of ye," she said cheerily to the old woman. "Better let me help." She took up the pnld and whisked off upstairs with It. 'How thoughtful of Nora!" "Isn't she kind?" and similar expression rose to the lips of the women. The proprietor of the hotel and anothet man also witnessed the Incident. "Clever girl, that Nora," said the hotel man to his companion. "She's always doing something like that when there are people looking on. She gets more tips than any two other girls In the house. She could afford to pay m for the privilege of working here. Every summer she makes enough to spend the winter In Idleness nt her old home in Ireland." New York Tribune. Oddities of Color Blindness. Color blindness, or the Inability tc distinguish certain colors, Is by no means rare. Incomplete color blindness Is when a )erson en mint distinguish one of the fundamental colors, red, green or violet. If a person Is told to select colors resembling violet, he will If red Mind usually select blues as well as violets. If he Is green blind, he will select green or gray, with possibly some blues nnd violets of the brightest shades. Violet blindness Is rare. To a red blind person the American flag ap pears to have green and white stripes, while the while stars appear on a vio let field. To a green blind person the strles have the proer colors, but the field for the stars Is red violet. To a violet blind person the strlies are nor mnl, but the stars appear to be set In a dark brownish gray field. To a person who Is totally color blind the blue of the flag appears a light yellowish brown, while the red stripes seem to be a darker brown. An Idol Shattered. Some one has said that people that are fond of hero worship should never make a pilgrimage to see the hero. Ilere Is an Instance: An enthusiastic young lady admirer called on her favorite author. In peaking of her visit she suld: "I'm sorry I saw him. He didn't look nt all like an author no long, wavy hair; no dreamy expression; no eyes fixed on the stars as If to read the secrets of the heavens; no musical, low voice nothing to suggest the genius. No, I found him leaning on the garden gate. In his shirt sleeves, swearing nt a grocery boy! And bis hair was close cropped, and he looked as If he hadn't shaved In n week. lie was the most terribly human specimen I ever saw." Atlanta Constitution. The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine tint of ten travelers would tell Inquirers that the roughest piece of water Is that cruel stretch In the Eng lish channel, and nine out of ten trav elers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" Is not In the Dover strait or In yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Ltilx up to Paulllac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadis to Tangier, nor Is It In rounding Cape Horn, where there Is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" Is encountered In rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern porta of Cape Colony. What a Scotsman Wears.
