XT is often said that business enters TOO MUCH INTO POLITICS—that is to say, that “the interests,” as they ( are technically called, the men, and especially the corporations of great wealth, are too frequently trying to MANIPULATE POLITICS for their own purposes and to use their power over political bodies to enrich themselves. That may be true, and, of course, in parts of the country IT HAS BEEN TRUE, where railroads, for instance, have practically gained the control of whole states. But it is also true that if business has too much encroached upon politics, there is a sense in which cities have thought too much of themselves as political bodies and too little of the business side. After all, a city is for some purposes to be regarded not so much a political entity, like a nation, but rather as a GREAT BUSINESS UNDERTAKING which is trying to carry out a large number of kinds of work for the citizen, which is a great employer of labor, which supplies to the private citizen much that he is obliged to have and which he would have to get from private firms or corporations if the city did not undertake to supply him. The care of streets, of water, of gas, of light, is all business, and politics, in the sense of party politics, should not be allowed to get into it at all. IF CITIES CAN KEEP OUT OF POLITICS IN THAT SENSE—NAMELY, THE INTRUSION OF POLITICAL DIFFERENCES WHERE THEY OUGHT NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OR ALLOWED ANY WEIGHT—THEY WOULD FIND THAT HALF OR MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR DIFFICULTIES WOULD DISAPPEAR.

America Impregnable to Invaders

Suicide For Any Power to Attempt to Land Army Here

By Count BENOIST D’AZY.

XN case of a war between America and any other power it would first be necessary for the enemy to CRIPPLE OR AN~NI- , HILATE the defending navy. After this REMARKABLE FEAT was accomplished, and we will assume for the sake of hypothesis that the enemy has progressed so far, then it would be next in strategic order for this enemy to effect a landing at some place on American shores. To attack the harbor forts with warships would, be UTTER FOLLY, imbecilic in the extreme, particularly if we assume, as we must, that the guns are such as they are supposed to be, although we may not be disposed wholly to credit the occasionally printed stories of firing twelve inchers twice in one minute, which, if true, is certainly almost unbelievable. An enemy attacking America would naturally seek some unprotected spot for the landing of an army of invasion, the conquest of the United States navy having been completed. Although, owing to the tremendous coast line, such spots would be numerous perhaps, what would be the result of the landing of an army of invasion on American soil ? - THERE CAN BE BUT ONE ANSWER. IT WOULD BE SUICIDE FOR THE INVADERS. THE CONQUEST OF THE UNITED STATES COULD NOT BE ATTAINED. IN MY OPINION, BY INVASION. ANY ATTEMPT AT INVASION COULD BE REPULSED BY A FIGHTING ARMY, IF REQUIRED, OF SEVERAL MILLIONS OF MEN.

WOOL BILL IS NIPPED IN BUD

President Vetoes It in Special Message to Mouse. LACKS INFORMATION UPON IT Indication la Clear That Preaident Taft Will Veto Every Tariff Bill That Comes To Him Before December. ————— Washington, Aug. 18.—A special message vetoing the wool bill enacted through the Democratic-insurgent combination waa sent to the house of representatives by President Taft. The president, as has generally been predicted, vetoed the bill on the ground that he has no scientific information on which to act. The president indicated clearly enough that he will veto every tariff? bill sent to him in advance of a report by the tariff board. His message ought to help clear the situation in congress. The pres’dent said in his message: “I was elected to the presidency as the candidate of a party which in its platform declared its aim and purpose to be to maintain a protective tariff by ‘the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American industries.* I have always remembered this language as fixing the proper measure of protection at the ascertained difference between the cost of production at home and that abroad, and have construed the reference to the profit of American industries as intended not to add a new element to the measure stated or to exclude from cost of production abroad the element of a manufacturer’s or producer’s profit but only to emphasize the importance of including in the American cost a manufacturer’s or producer’s profit reasonable according to the American standard.”

The president reviews the history of the movement for the creation of the tariff board: “In order to show that the real advance and reform in tariff making are to be found in the acquiring of accurate and impartial information as to the effect of the p. o posed tariff changes under er.ch schedule before they are adopted and further to show that if delay in the passage of a bill to amend schedule K can be had until December, congress will then be in possession of a full and satisfactory report upon the whole schedule.” The president says: “If ever there was a schedule that needed consideration and investigation and elaborate explanation by experts befo.e its amendment, it is schedule K.”
