The present bill is not the result of such workfyand it 1b bound, therefore, to be inaccurate, unscientific, and in- equitable in many respects. It can not.be otherwise unless it is a miracle, and even its Own best friends, do not expect that of it.

J. Q. Syme of Winnetka Wanted to Get Fined in a Hurry, When Taken as an Auto Speeder in Evanston. . HAD TO GET TO CITY "If You Fellows Don't Let .Me Go, the Price of Sugar Will Soar," Said the Well-Known Sugar Baron to the Cops, For a few minutes Friday morning the sugar market of the world waa Iff the control of the Bfanston polios court, that is. figuratively speaking, result- ant from a slight tdelay occasloaecl when John Q. Byrne, 8S3 Willow afreet, Winnetka, one of the sugar barons of the world, Was arrested for speeding his automobile through North Brans- ton. As ia customary, Police Magis- trate John F. Boyer was catted at aoon as Syme waa booked m the polio* ita- tlon. It was 7:30 a. in. that the book- ing took place end, although Bergt Peatka promptly telephoned the Jus- tice, the Winnetka sugar broker count- ed the seconds. Became Exaspersted. Finally Baron Syme, becoming so exasperated .that he could not control his speech, as he paced the floor of the police court, nervously .awaiting the arrival of Magistrate Boyer, said: "Well, this delay only means that you fellows will be forced to pay 7,centi a pound or more for your sugar if you keep me here much longer.' My time is valuable, probably more so this rrarning than It has been in months. I must get to Chicago at a specified time, > "I must raise 110,000 and get it to the banks, without fall,-at a certain hour, and to do this I must be in tha city to direct my collectors. This de- lay only puts me back that much and will mean a boost in the augar prices. Will you please hurry this matter along, gentlemen?" Hard to Absorb.

That brought the police court tribunal idea of the tariff commission as pro- posed by the Progressive party. We do believe tha.t tbe Republican party of itself can not revise tbe tariff ac curately and scientifically. We do be-iâ„¢ the double-quick and the cmo was soon disposed of. Syme was fined HO lieve that the Democratic party of it- self cannot revise the tariff accurately and scientifically. We believe, fur- ther, that the Progressive party of it- self cannot Tevise tbe tariff accurate- ly and scientifically. In advocating an expert nonpartisan tariff commis- sion, however, we of course do not propose to delegate any legislative power to it. The commission is not to formulate or pass laws. That power must constitutionally and prop- erlyvremaln with the congress. What we do propose Is that the commission shall scientifically and accurately as- certain the true and unbiased facts upon which we may base our tariff legislation, and costs, which he graciously paid, and In the fewest seconds possible was again speeding away toward Chicago. Waving his hand in hla good-natured manner as he quickly stepped out of the court room, Mr. Syme added, "You men don't conceive what a few min- utes means in dollars and cents in my business. Slong." A Contrast. Quite a contrast waa drawn in the appearance of J. Q. Syme and his fel- low-townsman, William Brow Lloyd, who was arrested Thursday for speed- ing. Mr. Syme was pleasant and affa- ble and waa not the least perturbed over tbe fact that he had been arrest- ed, only, as has been stated, ovsr the I do not feel, however, that the peo- delay caused.
