Denver. July 8.—The election of
Jpnx** Y.ulkln Joyner, superintendent
of public Instruction of North Caro-
lina as president of the National Edu-
cation*! Association this afternoon,
led up to a series of parliamentary
situations which threatened to rend
the Inner elrele of the association for
a few moments.
Mr. Joyner Was elected on the sec-
ond ballot and bis rise to the presi-
dency wa* the signal for gratification
to the enemies to the so-called “book
trust.” Mr. Joyner all along quietly
had hfcen the candidate of the "anti
octopiislles," and when Ids election
over Ren Hlewett, head of the SI.
lands schools, and Or. .1. N, Phillips
of Hirmlngham, Ala., was announced,
there was much cheering In the ranks
of the "antis." ,
Democracy Absolutely Necessary.
Immediately there came the reso-
lutions committee with a quiet enough
arrangement of ‘'resolves" and "thank
you*." Innocent, except In one essen
Hal, and this referred to the demo-
cracy of the schools. Tlio clause
maintained that democracy is abso-
lutely necessary ami after setting this
forth elaborately It explained that to
make this democracy stand out In the
true light of Jeffersonian simplicity
if would be the disagreeable duty of
the preceptors to smite the fraternity
Pvll In the high schools of the land,
, Instantly there »us h commotion
in the outskirts of the meeting of
•doctor*. But It did not last, long for
the (trin hand of the resolutions com-
mittee evidently knew what It. was
aljoiit and the anti-fraternity clause
tjrent through without amendment.
Fraternity Mbit Go.
j‘Henceforth, therefore, the fraternity
w|U not dwell in the high school. Hut
the. antl-fraU-rnUy clause did more
thrift stnlte" up discord In this one
raapeet; It Wrought oiit more reso-
lutions each of which was a bur under
the saddle of the pedagogic equine.
Hind, of all .there was a clause about
Ufmpllftcd spelling. It recited that
tJflB might not lie a propltimus occa
rtton for the renewal) of the ftororovelt-
Matthews Innovation, yet It might
hear Inspect Ion and for that reason
it was adopted. Protest raised only
the explanation that It. was merely
for the purpose of Investigation and
did not hind the association to ampu-
tated F.ngHsh.
Citizenship Asked for Porto Rico.
Then the militant spirit of Inde-
pendence hmrit. forth. It was Insti-
gated by Edwin G. Dexter, commis-
sioner of education for Porto Rico.
He offered a resolution urging that
congress be naked to confer citizen-
ship upon the people of Porto Rico
He said that Ibis would lie a great
aid to.the teacher In the Indies as It
would lie a glowing reward of merit
to hold before llie eyea of Porto
Jllcana to tell him he would be a citi-
zen after a while.
But Mr. Dexter emphasized too
atrongly the word citizenship for Im-
mediately a brother from Alabama
arose and proposed to tack on a little
suggestion about freedom for the
Filipinos. He said they had been
nurtured by the eagle of freedom
going on ton years now and tluiB
far the only civilizing Influence they
had felt was the water euro.
Heverul Immoderate “ha ha's" met
this proposition, but It. did not deter
another exponent of freedom from
offering a straw of Relief to what she
termed a “down trodden" element.
This was Miss Mary Shirley of (Cali-
fornia, who, If she Is not a. militant
Huffragette, Is at least a woman suffrn-
glst.
Appeal for Woman Suffrage.
“Now, If there Is going to be any
freedom advocated nore," she said, "I
want, to make another amendment.
If the savages of Porto Rico and the
Philippines are going to get support
here. I want the voice of this asso-
ciation to be raised In behalf of those
who deserve R mosf—the women of
the United States.”
This was too much. When the Porto
Rico resolution came out It was at
least taken seriously. When the
Filipino clause was added It brought
a smile, but "the votes for women"
was the last straw, and It was lost
iu a roar of laughter, and so far as
the National Education Association is
concerned, there, is no liberty.
Election Peaceful.
The election altogether was more
peaceful than was expected, though
the two ballots taken were closely
enough contested. Irwin Shepherd of
Winon, Minn., was re-elected secre-
tary; H. A. Chamberlain of Califor-
nia was rC-vdected treasurer, and Lo-
renzo D. Harvey, the retiring presi-
dent, was elected first vice president.
The report of the treasurer showed ex-
penditures of $33,009.67 and a balance
of $3,809.
In the afternoon the department*
of music, science, art, state schools.
Indian education, elementary chtld
study and home economics held scs
slon*.
San Francisco Next Meeting Place.
San Francisco will be (be next meet-
ing place of the association. There
were two other strong bidders for the
prize—Milwaukee, with ten votes, and
Boston, with four. Ban Francisco re-
ceived 21.
Judge Ben 11. Lindsey, of the juve
idle court, I lie “hoys' Judge.” spoke
tonight in the stead of Dr. Henry It.
Favill of Chicago, who Is delayed by
a wreck In Centra) Kansas. Judge
Lindsey discussed the relation be-
tween the state and tlte wayward

Ollier speakers were J. E. Burke of
Boston and Ben Hlewett of Sf. Louis:

Greatly Deprecates
Trend to Socialism
.........
Seattle, July 8.- The movement lo
make the K|iworth League more demo-
cratic, and to take it out of Dio hands
of bishops and other dignitaries, found
expression til this afternoon's session
o{ tin convention when Rev. Dr. J.
It. Colomnn of Albany, \. Y., looking
out upon the audience, of whom prob-
ably one third wore gray-halred, said:
Dr. Coleman Criticises Audience.
"I don't like this audience. There
arc too many old people too many
grtiy heads. The Kpworth League
should he for young people. The
place for the fathers and mol burs
should be lu Dpi prayer meetings In
the church.” r
A great, majority of the delegates
arc youthful but those do not. attend
the convention, where there is noth-
ing to lie voted on, the board of con-
trol transacting all the business. The
younger delegates are to be fonml at
the world's fair grounds' and; other
sight seeing centers.
Trend to Socialism Deprecated.
Dr. Conn of Tor mto, discussing the
social unrest, deprecated the trend to
r.oclalism. He said:
‘‘If adopted, Hoeiallsm would neces-
sitate a quasi military system in Indus-
try. Every reform must, have a re-
ligions basis. An Industrial system
with a secular foundation must fall.
The doel line Hurt, each man must
look out for himself Is alholam ap-
plied lo business. The millionaire and
the tramp are alike, loafers In the
night, of God. whose only way of ntttk
lug the desert bloom. Is by labor. The
mini who corners the market or iu
any other way takes advantage of the
necessities of Ills fellows Is a thief and
a robber."
Dr. Baker of Ohio In his address
arraigned the Methodist church for
letting too many Christian activities
And expression outside the church.
"Our great doctrinal questions have
been seltled," he said, "but at a cost
of hundreds of millions of dollars.
While we are disputing with the Bap-
tists over immersion or sprinkling
and with the Presbyterians over dam-
nation of infants, a license system
grew up by which we pave our
streets, change our electric lights and
build our school houses with money
that drips with blood.
"The Y. M. C. A. ought never to
have existed; the church ought to
have done the work."
Dr. Baker here told of a New York
City Y. M. C. A. secretary who reject
ed a photograph of a speaker for use
in an advertisement because It looked
ton clerical.
"How long," he asked, "can the Y.
M. C. A. remain true to the church
while accepting aid from men who
•arc against the church?
"The antt-snloon league ought not
to exist; the church ought to bo do-
ing tlte work."

tary Officers Brings
Good Results.

cil was brief but busy. The report

ported there had been only 10 deaths

ceptionally line condition.

porting on the matter of changing the

TARIFF BILL PASSES
Continued from I'ayf Oho.
act from the poor by taking Jhclr
tobacco.”
At this point Mr. Daniel returned
to the chamber and Bailey yielded the
floor to the VirghHan, who spoke at
length against frie tobacco amend-
ment. Vjv
By 24 to 54, the'amendment of Mr.
Daniel to reduce the tax on tobacco
from 8 cents to 6 .cents a pound was
rejected.
The coiriwfttee. fax amendment was
'l"'" agreed to, 52 to 23.
Senator A Id rich" Accepted Senator
Bailey's amendment to remove the 6
cents a 'ixiund on leaf tobacco. It was
by a viva vocri vote agreed to.
The removal* of the restrictions on
the free sale of tobacco It; the hand,
as provided In the amendment of Sena-
tor Bradley, which was adopted, Is the
result of many years of agitation and
much active recent campaigning.
Responsible for "Night Riders."
The present law, preventing free
dom In the trade In tobacco in the
primitive state, is said to have been
responsible for the forays of "night
riders" In Kentucky and Tennessee.
Tho present law permits the to-
bacco grower to dispose of his prod-
uct but docs not "allow his vendee to
transfer It wjftScqi paying a tax of fi
cents a pound.
Tho Bradley amendment authorizes
ijtiy one to sell tobacco in the baud
without paying a rax but requires that
when the sale etCtcds 10 pounds 4
record shall jiq kfpt for the benefit
or the,.Internal. mwotjtnv soavlcor
The snb-conimltlee Of the commit-
tee on finance reported against the
provision and, accdptlhg the action of
the sub-corn ridttee, tho full commit-
tee made an adverse report to the
senate. Senator Bradley, who is the
author of the amendment, has, how-
ever, been persistant in his effort to
huve the .tax rernttyod and at last sue
needed In prevailing upou Senator Aid-
rich and other members of the finance
committee to acquiesce In his pro-
position.
As the tariff bill passed the house
it carried a very similar provision, ami
there Is very little doubt that when
•he bill shall become a law It will con
tain a practical repeal of the present
tariff.
The other provisions of the tobacco
schedule were retajned. These Impose
a tux of 8 cents a pound on chewing
and smoking tobacco and snuff; of $3
on cigars weighing more than three
pounds mu- thousand; with Increase*
•or high-grade cigars running up to $9
per thousand; of 75 cents on cigars
weighing three pounds or less; $3.fifl
°n cigarettes weighing not more than
three pounds |ier thousand, and $1.25
on cigarettes of not more than three
pounds tier thousand.
Oil Ameetment Adopted.
An amendment proposed by Sena
tor of Kansas, providing for a conn
tervaillng duty on crude oil from any
country Imposing a duty on American
oil, such duty to be'one-half of the duty
levied on American oil, was adopted
by a vote of 44 to 31.
An amendment by Mr. Nowlands,
creating a tariff commission, the adop-
tion of which he urged in an extended
speech, was laid on the table.
When C p. m. came It became
known that Senators La Follette, Bev-
eridge, Bristow and others had speech-
es which they desired to deliver lie-
fore the final disposition of the bill,
and It became very evident that there
would bo a night, session and many
predicted that the hour would be late
before the final touches could be plac-
ed upon the measure.
After the disposal of the tohacco
and oil provision, It was discovered
that many other senators were pre-
pared to present amendments.
Other Amendments Sidetracked.
Among the first of the amendments
offered was one by Mr. Dixon of Mon-
tana, who presented the Inheritance
tax provision of the house bill so
changed as to raise the exemption
•douse from $10,onri to $25,000. With
out debate it was laid on the table on
motion of Alddch.
Mr. MoLaurln presented an amend-
ment placing on the free list carpen-
ter and hlncksniith tools and farm-
ers’ implements, but on motion of Mr.
Aldrich It went on the table.
Mr. Beveridge then presented a
proposition relative to tin plate, ft
was Intended to make tho drawback
provision of the bill inoperative so
far as it applies to tin plate.
"i do not offer this amendment lie-
cause of prejudice against the Stand-
ard Oil company or because of its
unpopularity,” explained Mr. Bever-
idge.
He was moved to take this action,
he said, purely as a measure of pro-
tection to promote the tin plate Indus-
try.
After considerable debate this
amendment was then laid on the table.
A bounty of 10 cents a pound on tea
and on a viva voce vote there was a
loud chorus of “no" from tho Demo-
cratic side.
A deluge or proposed amendments
came from Republicans and Demo-
crats, while with automatic regulari-
ty Mr. Aldrich caused them to be laid
on' Ihe table. It appeared that sena-
tors were practically fighting over In
the senate all of the Issue* that had
been contested while the bill was In
committee of the whole.
"Ix-st we forget.” was the prelude
of Senator Bristow, as he revived his
attack on the Dutch standard In the
sugar refining. His amendment to
eliminate the color standard was laid
on the table after he had spoken In
Its advocacy.
Predicting that the tariff would not
be really reformed until congress
should be compelled by public clamor
to lower it, Mr. La Folette addressed
the senate at considerable length. He
offered various amendments to the ad-
ministrative features, which were laid
on the table.
Before the vote was taken Mr. Aid-
rich said he had no doubt that the ap-
propriations necessary for the tariff
commission provided for by the bill
will be made.
Mr. Beveridge expressed great
pleasure over this statement and Mr.
La Follette added that he Intended to
rivet down that assurance as well as
to strengthen the tariff commission
provision generally.
Mr. La Follette’s tariff commission
amendment was rejected by a viva
voce vote. Asking that they be con-
sidered as a single amendment, Mr.
I .a Follette offered a large number of
t'hnngcB to the woolen schedule, sub-
stituting ad valorem duties for spe-
cific rates. They were voted down.
Senator Gore Sarcastic.
Mr. Gore delivered a final denuncia-
tion of the entire system of protection
as exemplified in tho hill. Ho com-
pared Mr. Aldrich to tho shepherd of
a hungry flock saying that his lambs
had all been tamed until they would
eat. out of the hand.
Said he, “Mary had one lamb, and
it followed her to school one day;
tbe chairman of the finance commit-
tee has 50 lambs and they follow him
every day.”
Suggesting that the president
should promptly veto the tariff bill, in
fairness to his campaign pledges, Mr.
Gore added:
“It might not he so far stretching
a prophecy to say that the next presi-
dent of tho United States may be
‘African.’ ”
This adroit reference to Mr. Roose-
velt was received with laughter.
The failure of the senate to keep
the promise made to the people by
the Republican party respecting a re-
vision of the tariff downward was the
theme of Senator Beveridge as the
debate on the pending bill was draw-
ing to a close.
“Our votes,” he said, “shall bo cast
Jn harmony with our party’s pledges
,as voiced by our party's leader and
'the national president,”
Mr. Beveridge was answered by Mr.
Aldrich who said he hail often seen
men Interpret their own Judgment as
the judgment of their party.
“The Republican party is a party
of majorities,” he added, “and the
■ view* of the majority in matters of
legislation control party policies. The
senator from Indiana does not speak
for the Republican party. He has
no right, to call here the name of the
president of the United States In sup-
port of any suggestion which he has
made.”
Likens It to Funeral Oration.
"I have listened with deep Interest,
to the tearful and prophetic funeral
oration.” said Mr. Stone from the
Democratic side of the house. He
declared It reminded him of the old
hymn, “Hark, from tho tomb a dole-
ful sound.”
Mr. Crawford delivered a vigorous
protest against any attempt on tho
part of Chairman Aldrich to prevent
Republican senators from exercise of
their Judgment.
Senator Clapp also joined In the pro-
test against any effort on the part of
Ihe senator from Rhode Island to con-
trol Ills actions.
“It will take more than the senator
from Rhode Island to read the state
of Minnesota out of the Republican
party,” said Mr. Nelson amid applause,
which called down the gavel of the
vice president with an announcement
that such expressions were not per-
mitted. He said he did not, care to
bo lectured by iho senator from Rhode
Island.
The Bill Passed.
Tho bill was then put on Its passage.
It was passed 45 to 34.
Upon motion of Mr. Aldrich the
vice president announced the senate
conferees as follows:
Senators Aldrich. Burrows, Penrose,
Hale, Cullom, Republicans; Daniel,
Money and Bailey, Democrats.
Bill Contains About 400 Paragraphs.
As It passes the senate, the bill con-
tains almost 400 paragraphs. The sen-
ate made 840 amendments to the house
provisions, many of which were added
today. Consequently tho enrolling
jelerks are finding • the preparation
of the hill for the house an arduous
task. They have been following as
closely upon the heels of the senate
as was possible and have the work
well In hand, but they say they will
probably not be able 1o complete their
labors before late tomorrow.

Will Be Sent to House Tomorrow.
Washington, July 8.—There Will be
no delay in sending the tariff bill to
conference after it reaches the house.
It Is expected that the bill will be sent
to that body late tomorrow, and in
order that no time may be lout Rep-
resentative Dalxell of Pennsylvania,
of the rules committee, obtained the
adoption of an order today by - which
the house will meet daily from now on
until the end of the session.
As soon as the bill is received Mr.
Dalzell is expected to offer a resolu-
tion by which the house will disagree
to the senate amendment on bloc and
agree to a conference. If there is any
disposition to debate the resolution,
Representative Pityne of New York,
probably will move ihe previous ques-
tion on the resolution, thereby shut-
ting off discussion.
When Mr. Dalzell’s resolution Is
adopted the speaker will announce the
list of conferees.
It is likely that the first thing agreed
to In conference will be the reductions
oti necessaries of life and raw mate-
rials made in the house bill by the
senate. The Increases made by the
senate on certain luxuries will prob-
was proposed by Senator Heybnrn. ably offer a temporary barrier to *n
Senators Have Tilt.
Washington, July 8.—“When the
senator wants something done It iB for
tho workman, and when he is opposed
to something It is for the manufactur-
er," hotly retorted Senator Aldrich
late today In reply to Senator Bever-
idge’s statements in the senate that
the senator from Rhode Island was
better Informed on the steel mills, hut
he himself was “better informed upon
tlte conditions and desires of the
working people,” and that what he
was advocating wctuld make more full
work days for the workingman.
"And the senator from Rhode Island
Is always for the manufacturer and
never for the employe," was Bever-
idge's remark.
“Tho senator Is presuming a great
deal when he makes that statement,”
said Mr. Aldrich. “The senator told
mo that he had been obliged, in view
of political exigencies-"
Before Aldrich could proceed furth-
er the Indiana senator was upon his
feet exhibiting a stern countenance.
“The senator must correct that,” he
said hotly.
“That is what I understood,” said
Mr. Aldrich.
“fhe senator Is going very far to
repeat private conversation. I did
not say political exigencies.”
That ended the incident, which had
Us beginning when the Indiana sena-
