H BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1014. ; OK WILL NOT RESIGN. erfi'@m!{'fl%n Regist.. quotes J. Roraback as saying that he thought. of resigning as fnan of the republican state cen- committee and that he does not Dropose to do any explaining either. As to ex-Governor Woodruff’s opinion that he should resign and that the republicans cannot win while he is at the head of the state committee, Mr. Roraback says that he is entitled to it and that for all he knows his opinion may be the opinion of the maljority of the republicans of the state, but his attitude is a surprise to him and he remarks with some show of sarcasm that he was a mem- ber of the republican organization | when Mr. Woodruff was a candidate for governor, assisted in his election and that his methods then were not objected to by either the candidate or any other republican, This is un- doubtedly ‘true, but times ' have changed since then and the people have demanded that there be less money used in elections and that methods be practiced that will ensure to the people a form of legislation in their interest and not that of in- dividual or private corporations. Mr. Roraback’s alleged connection the latter are what the people com- plain of and the complaint has be- come 8o loud and so general that the ex-governor has simply given ex- pression to a feeling that is shared by others as well as himself. _The progressives, the majority whom have been identified with republican organization, have | outspoken against Mr. Roraback and I this is one of the lssues thdt is keep- ‘ of the been ing the two elements apart. Mr. Roraback is as agreeable a person ag one could wish to meet, but it is a peculiar thing that many of those who have been benefited by his po- litical management are the most anxious to see him out of the chair- manship of the republican party. This may, be due to poutical expedi- ency rather than to any objection to him as an individual. There is.still evidence, notwithstanding Mr. Rora- back’s statement to the contrary, that the republican committee will have a new chairman to conduct the coming campaign. TREATMENT FOR COIGARETTE SMOKING OF NO VALUE. Treatment of the throat with nitrate of silver to break 'up thel‘ cigarette habit has been declared to be of little consequence by Dr. Suther- larid, dean of the Boston university | school of medicine, who says tha there is less nicotine in cigarettes than in elther pipes or cigars. The doctor claims that smoking is in- Jurious because it has a bad effect | upon the nervous system and leads to habits of selfishness in people. This latter accusation is a new objection. There has always been more or less opposition to the use of tobacco, but there has been a special drive made against the use of cigarettes, and whenever a boy goes wrong and it is discovered that he smokes cigarettes the latter are immediately charged with being the cause of his downfall. Some think that the paper used in the manufacture of cigarettes is the main cause of their deleteriousness, but no one explains why. Physicians use them and now an eminent mem- ber of the profession comes along and says that they are not as danger- ous as either the pipe or the cigar, which delight the souls of so many people. Smoking, like drinking, may be dangerous when carried to ex- tremes and it may cause all the ail- ments charged against it, but does it? A pipe or a cigar after lunch or in the evening has always been regard- ed as refreshing, productive of agree- ableness, sharpening the wits and aid- ing digestion. Harold There With the Retort. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) Comes one and deposes and says that he is acquainted with the per- sons mentioned in this anecdote, that he heard the conversation and that the circumstance is accurately re- ported to the best of his belief and ability. The little Bratenahl boy visited his uncle, who lives away out in the country. Uncle is a devout man, a pillar of the church and a breeder of fine horses, And upon a certain pretty colt did our little friend cast hiz eye with admiration and covet- ousness. “Uncle Samuel,” he said, “will you please give me that colt?” “Why, no, Harold,” answered the uncle. “I can’'t give you that colt. Do you want a colt so very badly?"” “I'd rather have a colt than any- thing in the world!” “Well, if you want a colt that much you ought to pray for it. When I want a thing very badly, 1 pray for it and it comes to me.” “Honest, Uncle? Well, TI'll Yyou—you give me this colt, and you pray for another one.” tell then ‘We may not have as many highway- men in Connecticut, but they are up to all the modern points of the game.

(Philadelphia Ledger.) This country is suffering from too much bad legislation. The serious ob- | struction to business was placed there by politicians, confined to no one party, who capitalized hatred of the man who has something ' intd a weapon which has proved savagely destructive. Taking form him who has and giv- ing to him who has not through mul- titudinous new laws has been in pro- gress for some time. Eagh new statute in every state, as well as those enacted in Washington, has tended to restrict business as it had previously been conducted. In no single instance has any law been enacted for the purpose of in- creasing the earnings of any industry. There has been no law with the | avowed object of building up or of expanding. All laws in recent years that have touched business at all have touched | it for the purpose of holding it down Business has bee, industries con- have in some way. emned and large been split asunder. Since Thoedore Roosevelt was pres- ident there has been a far greater revolution in the relations existing be- tween states and nation on the one hand and business on the other than any one can realize who does not go the long list of enactments which have been written upon the statute books. ‘Without comprehending what they did, the people, through their legis- lators, have so shackled and bedev- illed business that it is today in a po- sition which must grieve every pa- triotic American. We are now hav- ing a silent but powerful protest against all this. Tt comes in the form of tens of thousands of work- men dismissed by the rafiroads. There is no escape from this pro- test, which, although silent, is a most solemn warning that the time is long overdue for returning to a reign ot reason. “My Money-Getter."” (“Girard,” in Philadelphia Ledger.) Henry Phipps now steps down and out of United States Steel. Before the world’s biggest company was formed thirteen years ago he had been Andrew Carnegie's chief part- ner. 5 “My money-getter,” the old steel ! king once called him. He meant that Mr. Phipps looked after the finances of the steel mills and | borrowed cash when needed. H. C. Frick got his big grip on the Carnegie plants through his coke ovens. C. M. Schwab was an all- around steelmaker. James Gayley’'s part was the chemical end. Originally J. D. Rockefeller was the largest owner of United States Steel shares, but he sold out before the great slump started in the autumn of 1902. Afterward he resigned from the board of directors. Schwab, the first president, ran counter to Morgan's policies and re- signed. Later Willlam E. Corey, the second president, met the same fate and Gayley retired as vice-president. Clement A. Griscom, a close asso- clate of P. A. B. Widener and J. P. Morgan, was an original director, but he is dead. And Morgan himself, the father of the trust, is gone. Rarely, indeed, have so great changes come so swiftly in the per- sonnel at the head of a mighty cor- poration. Rockefeller, Morgan, Phipps, Gris- com, Schwab, Corey and Gayley— truly a coterle of human power. Nobody ever made $1,000,000 easier than Carnegie did when Frick failed to exercise his option for that sum to buy the Carnegie steel works. The price was $160,000,000, but Frick's friends couldn't swing the deal, so Carnegie took the $1,000,000 and elso kept his plant. And behold the sequel! Carnegie soon afterward received double what Frick had offered for his propertles, 8o that in addition to the $1,000,000 of forfeit money he got over 100 times that much more from Morgan. For some folks, making money is just as easy! - 1 IR VIR, WHAT OTFERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. Commission Government. (Springfield Republican.) Commission government in Tren- ton, N, J., is pronounced a remark- able success by the major director of public affairs, whose report on the first fiscal year has just been pub-. lished. “The results,” he writes, “have clearly demonstrated beyond the dreams of its staunchest support- ers the superiority of the new sys- tem.” This is a judgment based on short experience and it comes from a friend of the commission form of mu- nicipal government, yet there are pre- sented figures of achievement Wwhich sustain the contention. In city fi- nances, great improvement is shown over preceding years, for the cost of administration has been cut down, the bonded debt diminished and the tax rate lowered. The old annual revenue deficit was nearly eliminated. Parti- san politics, it is asserted, has been wholly unknown in the commission's transaction of business. Efficiency has been markedly increased. What is most striking is that ‘‘the standard of public morals in Trenton has been materially raised. All city ordinances and state laws are rigidly enforced and the freedom of policemen and firemen from the political yoke that formerly encompassed them has un- questionably made Trenton a better city from every viewpoint.” Trenton was a poorly and corruptly governed city in the old days, and the new broom sweeps clean. The future tasa is to maintain the higher standard now introduced, and that is where public opinion will come in. Good government will be a spasm unless the people determine to hold fast what has been gained. Bore $16,000,000 in Paper Bags. (Boston Globe.) Carrying $46,000,000 through the streets of Boston in paper bags sounds like a risky undertaking. Willlam K. RBeardsley, manager of the New Epg- land fish exchange, however, has per- fermed it. The $46,000,000 was not carried at once, but was transported at various times in five years. More than $12,- 000,000 was ‘in cash, and frequently as much as $20,000 was carried at one time, The last of this vast sum was carried through State street in a peper bag last Friday afternoon when the New Ehgland fish exchange closed its T wharf offices. At the new pier in South Boston it will not be neces- sary to transport the funds, for there will be a bank near the dock. The New England fish exchange was founded in 1908, as the clearing- house for the wholesale fresh fish bus- iness of the country. Skippers selling fish on T wharf were paid bty the ex- change, which required large sums of cash. When the exchange was first found- ed Beardsley used to go to the tank each day and draw out from $10,- 000 to $20,000. This money, in hills, was placed in a plain paper bag, the mouth of which was tied with string. Swinging this in his hands, Beardsley would walk down State street, across Atlantic avenue and so the length of T wharf to the offices of the ex- change. Many times he was absolutely alone. Several times he has dropped into At- lantic avenue restaurants, handed the bagful of cash to a waitress asking her to keep it for him, and then eaten his dinner. At other times he has dropped into Atlantic avenue clgar stores and placed the valuable parcel or. the counter while he bought cigars. He was never held up. For the past few years, however, he has taken fewer chances, and although lurge sums were still carried in plain- looking = paper packages, he was always armed and accompanied by four employes of the exchange, also well armed. Bestde the daily trip from the bank to the pler with cash, the employes made a trip to the bank with large sums in checks. Ship Resembled Noah’s Ark. (New York Herald.) The Pennsylvania of the Hamburg- American line which arrived here yesterday from Hamburg four days overdue, had the appearance of Noah’s ark with its cargo of animals, rep- tiles and fowl of every order and de- scription. Passengers on board de- clared they “were glad to get ashore because of the constant din kept up by the creatures, In the list of allen animals here to take up a residence were two hip- ropotami, five crates of monkeys, six boxes of snakes, three kangaroos, one cage of wildcats, one llon, one box of mice, 1,602 partridges, twenty swans, thirty.two pheasants, forty-one crates of canaries, one zebra, one puma and a collection of water fowl. The hippopotami were consigned to the Memphis zoological park, which was started three years ago with one bear, “Phil"” Castang, manager of the park, was at the pier to meet the steamship. He will take his consign- ment of animals to Memphis tonight. Germany’s Gift to American Board. A registered and quadruply sealed envelope from Berlin was received by the treasurer of the American board in Boston a few days ago. 1t con- tained, three crisp thousand-mark notes, a gift from the German na- tion to the hoard's mission work in the Marshall Islands. These islands are a German possession and three of the board's four missionaries there are of German birth and citizenship. The 3,000 marks, about $760 in our money, s a part of the million dollar jubilee fund raised by German Chris- tians, Protestant and Catholle, in honor of the kaiser's recent completion of twenty-five years as ruler of the German emplire. That the American society is in- cluded in the diss Ibution of the fund shows not only the approval of the | German government of the work the board is doing in Micronesia, but is also a sign of international good fel- lowship which all Americans will ap- préciate. Concerning a Salt Cellar. (Cleveland Plain-Dealer.) The selling of a salt cellar is not a transaction that ordinarily calls for comment. Yet a salt cellar was sold at auction in London last week and the echo of the auctioneer’s going— going—gone appears to have rever- berated over an extremely long dis- tance. The cellar of the sonorous echo was a part of the noted Ash- burnham collection of works of art, and the dispatches tell us it brought $28,000. It was a silver receptacle of the sixteenth century type of work- manship, and there is some doubt about the identity of its designer. There {8 no doubt, however, of its beauty, its rarity and its historical in- terest, As to the sanity of Investing so many dellars in a piece of silver bric- a-brac, that’s a question which con- cerns the buyer alone. A leading New York journal ventured to criticize the purchase on the ground that many worthy things in the world need do- ing that this great sum would do, and was promptly rebuked by a lover of things of beauty who declared that the new owner did not purchase the cellar because he wished to own an article that no other collector could match but because of its grace, its charm, its age, its unique rarity— which s presumably the proper atti- tude of all conscientious collectors. Perhaps the buyer himself, however, would tell us, if occasion offered, that while there are Rembrandts and Rem- brandts, and Millets and Corots, there is but one salt cellar of the peerless sixteenth century type, and he has it. | Anyway, a writer on the subject de- clares that to criticize this expensive taste for the rare and beautiful is to ally oneself with the sordid Phills- tines who eat and drink for tomorrow they die. WILSON WINS FIGHT ON TOLLS FSSUE — (Continued from First Page.) began to speak and his first utterance, breathing a spirit of harmony, as against discord, and assuring the country that the president and he were personally at peace, seemed to give the assemblage—particularly the democratic side of the house—a feel- ing of relief. At the outset Mr, Clark read his ad- dress, but soon he got into his old time oratorical swing and was ham- mering home with sweeping gestures his deliberately delivered words. “Does any man in this house be- lieve that the democratic leaders are working to split the democratic par- ty?" the speaker fairly shouted as he luoked into the faces of his colleagues. “No, no,”” was the thunderous re- ply from every part of the cham- ber. Climax Stirs Opponents. “We built the Panama canal,” the speaker shouted in the climax of his speech. “We built it on American soil. We have fortified it; we will con- trol it. We built it primarily and almost entirely for our own benefit, and secondarily for the world's benefit. I would rather see the canal walled up than give Great Britain control of it. I had rather see it filled up with granite boulders than to yield one icta. of control over it to any foreign nation.” This was the signal for the ovpon- ents of tolls repeal to open up their strongest batteries of applause. Gets Rising Ovation. Speaker Clark completed his speech at 5 o'clock and got a rising ovation by the entire house, few members re- maining in their seats as the cheers echoed throughout the chamber. It took several minutes to restore quiet, then Representative Adamson took the floor to make the concluding speech. He gave way to permit Rep- resentative Peters to present a letter from ex-Secretary of State Richard Ol- ney, urging members of the house to support the president, Debate Is Concluded. Representative Adamson had con- siderable difficulty in making himself heard because of the disorder in the house, and Representative Underwood in the chair, kept his gavel busy. Mr. Adamson discussed the economic as- pect of the repeal, declaring that the exemption was merely a subsidy “to a trust that will give the people no benefit from the exemption.” He made specific replies to many of those who had opposed the repeal bill. Speaker Clark resumed the chair while Adamson was speaking, but al- though Adamson spoke for about half an hour the house was in such dis- order that little of his speech was heard. Vote Is Taken. ‘When he concluded, he immediately called for a vote. A hush swept the crowded floor and the packed gal- leries as Speaker Clark announced a vote on the “third reading and en- grossment of the bill." Republican Leader Mann demand- ed a roll call and the first record vote on the bill was forced on a prelim- inary legislative stage. The admin- istration’s strength made its appear- ance, however, and the bill was ad- vanced through the third reading by a vote of 247 to 160. O'Shauncssy’s Motlon. A round of cheers and applause greeted the announcement of this vote, and scarcely had it subsided when Mr. O'Shauness of = Rhode Island secured recognition and pre- sented the motion to recommit the bill, prepared by a conference of lead- ers opposed to the measure, It read:— “I move to recommit the bill H. R. 14,385, to the committee on inter- state and foreign commerce, with di- rections to that committee to report saia bif Mk to the house forthwith the followiijg amendment:— “Strike [out all of Section 2 and insert in liffu thereof the following:— * ‘Seqtiof ~—And congress hereby declares tHat in its judgment the United 8tatgs, which at enormous cost has built and fortified and owns the canal Without any expectation of pe- cuniary prgfit to itself from its own- ership, and which has the duty and expense 'of protecting the canal with its troops and warships and by proper sanitation, may, as the owner and de- fender of the canal, und by virtue of its rights of sovereignty, righttully provide preferential tolls or no tolls for jts own war scls and for ves- sels of commerce belonging to it or its citizens flying its flag so long as the conditions and charges of traflic established ‘by it for vessels of foreign nations are just and equitable; and may rightfully in time of war as well as in time of peace maintain its army and navy in the canal zone, in- cluding all necessary warllke ma- terials, both for defense and offense; and may rightfully provide prefer- ential tolls gr no tofls for the vessels of the republic of Panama, from which republic the right to construct the canal was obtained, and as author- ized in the dct of June 28, 1902, pro- viding for the construction of the canal.” “Antis” Poll Largest Vote. On this motion, with its reserva- tion of the Hght of the United States to control tie Panama canal zone, the anti-repeal forces polled their largest vote;| The motion was defeat- ed, 232 to 176. The democratic lead- ers, Speaker Clark and Representative Underwood darried sixty-one of their democratic @lleagues with them on this vote. but thirteen of the re- publicans voted for the motion and two progressives stood with the anti- repeal forces: This defeaf marked the last rally of the anti-tepeal forces, and the crowds which had sat for seven hours in the stifling galleries of the house arose wearily and prepared to leave. Repeal Bill Passed. The last roll call was on the final passage of the'bill. It was taken with the house in disorder and general confusion prevalent. As announced by the speaker the result was ayes, 246; nays, 162. But a recapitulation of the vote showed ayes, 247; nays, 161, On this vote 220 democrats desert- ed their chosen leaders to answer. the personal plea’ of President Wilson. With them were twenty-five republi- cans and twp progressives, With Speaker Clark and Leader Under- wood fifty-two democrats voted against the bill, ninety-two republi- cans and seventeen progressives, mak- ing up the 161 negative votes.
