PROTECTION IS COSTLY
Will Add Millions to the Cost
of the Canal.
TABET REVISION DEMANDED
Bow the Stand Patter Help Out th
Trusts and Combines Plundering;
the People to Protect the Contract
ors' the Republican Programme,
Special Privileges Created.
How pertinent Is the Democratic de
mand for tariff revision nnd Low great
a discretionary power Is Intended to
be vested In the president In connec
tlon with the granting of contracts for
supplies and equipment for the con
structiou of the Panama canal may be
faintly imagined from the wording of
senate resolution CO, which was the
subject of a loug and spirited debate
the other day prior to Its adoption, as
follows:
"Uesolved. etc.. That purchases of
material and equipment for use In the
construction of the Panama canal shall
be restricted to articles of domestic
production and manufacture unless the
president deems the bias tuereior 10
be unreasonable, iu which case bids
may 1h Invited and contracts awarded
for material and equipment or toreign
production or manufacture to the ex
tent of the consumption or sucn aru
cles that may be required In the con
struction of the said canal."
That may mean, as explained by Sen
ator Patterson, that the president In
making purchases for the canal shall
iflrst consider the foreign price or the
articles required, shall add to that at
least the tariff duty and to that sum
an amount which shall seem to him
not unreasonable or extortionate, this
'last amount being supported to repre
sent the profit to be allowed the bidder.
It is estimated that the Tanama ca
nal will cost at least $250,000,000 or
$300,000,000, If not more, and that at
least one-third of this amount will be
the cost of material and equipment
that Is to say, at least $80,000,000 or
$100,000,000. aud perhaps a great deal
more, Is to be expended In securing
the materials with which to prosecute
the real work of construction.
All things being equal. It will be well
If this vast amount of money be spent
at home, but It must be remembered
that It Is the American people the tax
payers the rent payers, the farmers,
the mechanics who will eventually pay
for the construction of the canal. If
those materials can be purchased
abroad at much less price than In this
country, will that not be so much saved
the taxpayer?
"Protection to home Industries! Touch
not the sacred tariff:" is the cry from
the stand patters. But what 'the Amer
ican people want Is not protection to
the millionaire manufacturers, who
will eagerly seek these contracts In or
der to increase their already plethoric
bank accounts, but protection for them
selves, who must foot the bills for the
whole thing.
Who is to define or limit the amount
which the president shall add to the
original cost, plus the tariff duty, In
order to determine the proportion (jf
"profit" which shall be allowed the
bidder? What will the meaning of the
word "profit" become under such cir
cumstances? Why, as Senator Teller said In the
course of debate upon the above reso
IlaUon, tbe duty upon dredges brought
ilnto this country is 43 per cent of tlaeir
-cash value that is, if a dredge may be
purchased In Scotland or elsewhere
abroad for $100,000 It will cost $145,000.
'to land it at Panama, subject to the
(Outrageous American tariff charges.
Therefore if an American manufac
turer can furnish a dredge for $100,000
Is he to be allowed $145,000 for It be
rldes an additional allowance for
"profit?" It looks very much that
way. "I do not believe," said Mr. Tel
ler, "that any tariff should be placed
so high as to give the manufacturers
of this country an opportunity to un
duly tax the American citizen. I am
one of those who believe that the pres
ent tariff would be greatly Improved
If It were revised."
But the tariff is never revised. It
cannot be done at the short session, say
the Republicans, because there is not
time; it cannot be done at the long ses
lon, they further assert, on account of
the approaching election, and the ex
isting system must not be disturbed at
euch a time. Therefore the tariff is
never revised by its friends, the Re
publicans, and never will be revised by
them, no matter how urgent the evi
dent needs of the country, for the sim
ple reason that it creates special privi
leges for the few and equal rights for
none, In direct antithesis to Democrat
ic doctrine, which demands equal
rights for all and special privileges for

Mr. Carnegie says he would work for

How many dollars he makes every day
out of work of other men and through
the virtual monopoly, the tariff on
teel, is the question that Interests the

PRACTICAL LAW TALKS.
When a Man Dies Without a Will.
Intestacy is where a- persou dies
without having left a "last will aud
testament." In such cases the es
tate of the iutestate, decedent, must
be settled by the Clerk of the Su
perior Ccurt under certain rules
hereinafter to be referred to aud
is called an administrator.
ADMINISTRATOR MCST GIVE J10X1.
Au administrator is required to
give a bond for the faithful discharge
of his duties, aud he must settle the
estate in the manner pointed out to
him by the law, whereas, au execu
tor named iu a will to cany out its
provisions, because of the personal
trust aud confidence reposed iu him
by the testator, gives no bond, unless
he is a non-resident of the State, or
makes application to sell the lands
of the testator to pay debts. A
jiau who marries a woman w ho is
au executrix must give a bond that
his wife will properly execute the
will; if he does not, the wife's letters
testamentary will be revoked by the
clerk.
Both executors aud administrators
must pay the debts of the decedent
according to the priorities establish
ed by law (Revisal of 1905), but tbe
personal property lett alter tne pay
ment of debts iu the hands of an
administrator is distributed among
those who are tbe next of kin to the
intestate as prescribed by law, whilst
au executor pays any balance in tis
hands to tho3e" named in the will as
entitled to it.
WHO MAY BE ADMINISTRATORS
Letters of administration are
granted by the clerk to such persons
as are entitled to the same in the
following order: First to the surviv
ing husband or widow; second, to
the next of kin in the order of their
degree; third, to the next competent
creditor residing in the state, and
fourth, to any other person legally
competent. But no person can be
"appointed administrator who is un
der twenty-one years or age, or wno
lives out "of the State, or who has
been convicted of felony, or who is
incompetent, or fails to give a bond,
or who has renounced his right.
A surviving husband can qualify
as an administrator on his wife's es
tate in case she dies without a will,
and after the payment of her debts
he is entitled to all the rest or the
residue of her personal estate in his
own right.
If the wife, however, survives the
husband who dies without leaving a
will, and qualifies as his administra
tor, she will not take in her own
right the persoual estate of her hus
band after the payment of his debts,
but only her distributive share
of the same with tbe heirs at law.
WHAT CONSTITUTES ASSETS.
All personal property belonging
to the estate of the intestate (not on
ly what the executor or administra
tor actually receives, but also all
that he ought to have taken posses
sion of) are regarded in the eye of
the law as assets, and the words
personal property include everything
except the land. tTttrass the testa
tor ,in his will, requiies the executor
to manage the lauds devised is the
will, the executor has nothing to do
with the lands, and has no control
over them, unless it should become
necessary to sell the same for the
payment of debts. In that event he
acts under the direction or tne court
and subject to its orders and deciees.
Uiopj remaining ungithered at the
time of theneath of the decedent be
long to the executor or administra
tor as part of the personal estate,
and do not pass with the land as
sisted to the widow as her dower,
nor with the land to the heirs of the
decedeut or his devisees under the
will.
If any part of the proceeds arising
from the sales of lands by an execu
tor or administrator should remain
over after the payment of the debts,
the same is regarded ia the law as
real estate and goes to such persons
as would be entitled to the land.
AN HEIR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOB
DEBTS
All persons who may succeed to
land or nersonal nronertv by inher
itance, will (devise), bequest, or dis
tribution, are liable jointly ana not
separately for debts of decedent, and
no one of them is liable beyond the
value of the property so acquired by
him; and, in case of an action against
such persons, the recovery must be
proportioned to the assets or prop
erty received by each defendant, and
judgment against each entered ac
cordingly. In cases where death was caused
by the negligence or wrongful act of
another and a right of action would
have accrued if the injured person
had lived; the executor or adminis
trator may bring an action withinja
year after such death, for such dam
ages as are a fair and just compensa
tion for the pecuniary injury result
ing from such death; and this right
of action exists in any cases where
the wrongful act, neglect or default
amounted in law to a felony. And
such recovery shall not be liable for
the debts o the decedent, but must
be distributed according to law
amongst those entitled to ir.

' THE DUST PROBLEM.
I slue of Col Tar Treatment to Orer
come It.
France lends in mitomoblles and In
everything pertaining ti the motor cnr.
Slio has au advantage which has meant
Just as ninny thousands to her in con
nection with the automobiles she has
the finest roads in Europe. But the
other side of the picture Is this that no
people in Europe hnve suffered so much
from the dust nuisance, says a New
York American correspondent. Wher
ever the motor cnr Is there are the dust
clouds all over the road, and one of the
most pressing problems in France at
the present moment Is, how are we go
lug to get rid of the dust nuisance?
The leading expert In Europe on the
subject of dust suppression Is Dr. Gu.
plielniinettl. The doctor, Instead of
looking after his patients nt Monte
Curia, prefers subjecting the roads to
the coal tar treatment, and this Is his
explanation: The dust Is simply driv
ing invalids and others from the Ri
viera, and since automobillsni has tak
en such an extension the dnst plague
has become such an Insufferable nut
sanee that doctors prefer sending their
patients to Swiss snultarlums rather
than to the dust poisoned Riviera. Auto
mobiles, with their Immense weight and
excessive speed, threnten to render the
Riviera and other parts of France un
inhabitable to persons with weak lungs
or bronchial affections. When a motor
car tears along a dnst laden road nt
fi:ll speed what happens? A sort of
whirlwind Is created nnd sucks up the
dust, which Is driven Into the human
respiratory organs, causing Irritation
and injury to the mucous membranes,
but Ir. Gugllelmlnettl Is an enthusiast,
and he has the faith that saves.
For several years be has been trying
to find a cure for the dust plague, and
if he has not yet discovered It I am
convinced thnt It Is not far off. Before
the tarring process wns tried on the
roads nt Fontalnebleau and Melun the
inhabitants were obliged to keep their
windows closed throughout the sum
mer. Now they enn open them without
fear of being blinded or suffocated, and
the same thing Is taking place else
where. A grent deal has been done by
various systems of road tarring, but
the idenl system has probably yet to be
found. Its coming Is only a question
of time, and in that as In so many
other Inventions for the good of man
kind, France will probably lead the
way.
NEED OF SIDE DITCHES.
Valuable In Carrrla Ofl Water From
Rural Hlarhwars.
F.vprv country road In America
should have side ditches, says a corre
spondent of Farm Trogress. Few per
sons know how great an amount or
wnter falls unon a country road, and
it might be surprising to know that on
on mile of nn average country roaa in
the United States, three roils wide, fall
each year an average of twenty-seven
tons of water.
s insist iiion side ditches. There
should be one on each side of the road
Wherever possible. They are necessary
heonnse the thousands of tons of water
which fall upon the average country
road each year In the form of rnln ana
now should be at once carried away
to a neighboring creek or some other
water channel as fast as the snow
molts, so as to prevent It from forming
deep mud and thus destroying the sur
face of the road.
A side ditch should have a gradual
falling and even grade at the bottom
with hrnnd sides. With ditches so con
structed there s little danger of the
sides of banks caving in, and uey win
easily clear themselves of snow, weeds
and rubbish. In locating the ditch It
la heat to leave It three feet from tne
edge of the roadway unless the space
Is too limited to so permit, nut in any
case at least two feet should be al
lowed. Why Roads Snoula Be Imarore.
There are many striking examples of
the value of good roads. Wherever
roads have been permanently Improved
It Is found that there bns been a very
great Increase in value of the adjacent
property, says Good Bonds Magazine.
Among examples of this sort is that of
Jackson, Tonn. From figures recently
published It Is shown thnt since 1000
the city has increased 5.000 in popula
tion. The ronds were Improved through
issuing bonds to start with, and they
have advertised the city so much that
families are constantly coming in from
adjoining counties, with the result that
land values have incrensea in some
. aa from 20 to 100 oer cent Property
In the city has also greatly Increased
In value. . ; Ivi'lSJ i'jf '

ays Charles Biack. one of New Jer
sey's successful rru:t growers, in Rural
New Yorker. Of course I would not
deny that injury might resu:t from an
overdose or when tree were too Im
mature but under reasonable condi
tions my long experience satisfies m
that it Is both safe and reliable.
t have a large violet house IS by 260
which has been fumigated many times
without any apparent injury. Still, I
am aware we could kill all the plants
In the house Just as easily as a physi
cian could kill a patient with an over
don. I am aware many contend that trees
are Injured by It whenever there Is
something wrong. I have grown and
handled trees for the past forty-five
years, long before hydrocyanic gas was
thought of, and have seen many fail
ures, but they now are all set against
fumigation.
If our legislatures would do away
with all of our Inspection laws, many
of which are unwise nnd foolish, and
enforce fumigation under the direction
of our entomologist every one concern
ed would be benefited. It is not only a
safeguard against San Jose scale, but
many other insect enemies now over
looked among them the black aphis

the apple.
Tbe man who wants bis trees with
