REVISION MUST COME

PROTECTION’S “CITADEL" SURELY FATED TO FALL. Privileged Woolen Industry Barons to Be Compelled to Loosen Their Grip on the People’s Purse — Democrats Ready to Act. Sacrosanct skedule K—the "very citadel of protection," as Senator Aldrich characterized it; the woolen schedule in the nomenclature of the plain and unprivileged body of the American people—is tp be revised at . last. w ' . President Taft has advised revision, the Democratic house is eager for it and the Republican senate will hardly dare to resist. The Republican situation, in the fafce of a national campaign, already is desperate; for the Republican majority in the senate now to act against the advice of the president would be to place the party i In the plight of utter despair. \So the “citadel” must fall. That may be taken as certain. The only question To be decided is the terms upon which the privileged woolen industry barons, who have so long held the fort; shall surrender. Both President Taft and his tariff board are silent on that point. The president says that is a matter for congress- to decide. So it is. But is the president entirely sincere in giving that as a reason why both he and his tariff board carefully refrained from making any suggestion on the subject? Most people, we think, will be more apt to take the view that in leaving the matter of the amount Of reduction tb congress,, free of any suggestion from either himself or his tariff experts, Mr. Taft was actuated by the same sense of political advantage ■which prompted his endeavor to take ■ from the Democratic house the credit for the abrogation of the Russian

Mr; Taft undoubtedly would like the credit of revising the tariff to go to himself and his party, and all complaints and criticism for the manner of its revision to be laid at the door of Democracy. We imagine the discernment by the Democrats of the presidential purpose will bring forth during tha-hoiise debate many a reference to the speech which made Winona famous, but put a large blot on the fame of President Taft, as well as a blight upon his prospects. The presidential message urging revision was somewhat extravagant in its praise of the tariff board and its work. But then much applause was heeded to deaden the’ din all over the country provoked by the delay for which President Taft was responsible. Approbation for the experts was really the disguise of self-justification. The president in his message transmitting the report of the tariff board says: "The duties on many classes of wool manufacture are prohibitory and greatly in excess of the difference in the cost of production here and abroad.*' „ * To the extent to which the duties exceeded the cost of production abroad the domestic manufacturers had an opportunity to practice extortion, and did so. But “the graft was so good,” to use an expressive colloquialism, that the w.oolen manufacturers were never able to rob the consumers of the United States up to the full limit of the. license given them by the Republican tariff makers because of the (competition which ensued among them to grab the legalized loot.—Chicago American..

Students of the Trusts.

The lawyers in the packers’ case in Chicago say they find that the farmers have a much clearer idea of the anti-trust laws than the people of the cities. » , Why shouldn’t they have? The farmers have been the ones to suffer most from unregulated industrial trusts, trade associations, middlemen’s combinations and windy statesmen. They have had chance to learn—at a price, Now at the time the faripers are forming traie agreements, selling associations, middlemen-eliminat-ing schemes and protective organizations of their own, the government Is demanding that the “crutch of combination be thrown away.” We suspect that the farmer is thinking it is about his turn.

The Medes and Persians.

You will remember from your old school day histories laws of the Medes and the Persians were unchangeable.” They were, in fact, just what the standpatters would have you believe the constitution is and the “imperishable insteyetutions of the Fathers” are. * i Which, so far as the Medes and

Arrangements will be made for plenty of bonfires in the event of cold weather 4 ‘ 1

Persians are concerned, accounts sufficiently for the fact that you have to look in the encyclopedia to learn where the Medes Jived, apd for the fact that for 2,300 years Persia has not figured iin the books except as some other country has kicked it. I 1 Undoubtedly the report of the tariff board shows the need of immediate downward revisibn of the actual tariff on wools and woolens. It points to the worst abuses which should first |be cut out. In this it is useful. But 1 we should not be at all surprised, as the study of the report slowly filters down to the minds of the voters, if its final utility will be in tending to convince the nation that the Whole scheme of the tariff is impracticable, fanciful, unbusinesslike, and a nuisance to the permanent interests of I the country.—New York Times.

”MISLED” IS A GOOD WORD

Under the Circumstances, John M. Dickinson Was Moderate in His Use cf Language. See What comes of retaining a Democrat to prosecute the steel trust. Mr. Taft had no idea, it appears, that anything would be said in the indictment about the unlawful Tennessee Coal and Iron merger and he was particularly .horrified at the discovery that the Department of Justice asserted in’ its arraignment that Mr. - Roosevelt had been “misled" in the matter. .Vhn M. Dickinson, ‘ Democirat, put that. in. Why did he put it in? Because if the Steel trust is to be convicted it musj. be accused of violating law and the plainest case of lawbreaking in connection with that combination is (hat involving Tennessee Coal and Iron. Considering all the circumstances we think Mr. Dickinson let Mr. Roosevelt off very easily. If the Colonel hgd not been “misled” he would have been subject to indictment also.

An Indelible Stain.

Political experts think they see in Mr. Roosevelt’s latest attempt to exonerate hihiself in the Harriman matter the evidence that he is an active candidate for the presidency. If that is his object in digging up this now ancient scandal, it is a melancholy failure. The more the Harriman business is.. discussed the more everybody concerned with it is smirched. Not one word of that ugly record could be washed out, eVen if all the dead men named were to come back, like Peter Grimm in the play, and swear that everything now said in explanation is true as gospel. What the facts show and what is admitted-are enough to make that record anything but a campaign document in behalf of a candidate for the presidency.—New York Press.

POULTRY NOTES

Fresh air and sunshine are the best germicides. Do not keep eggs near kerosene or anything that will taint them. Feed breeding duck a crumbly mash twice a day, morning and evening. It is not necessary to candle good “■eggs before taking them to market. If any farmer is in doubt concerning his eggs, he should then candle them. The Spanish hen’s eggs, weighing seven to a pound, are the largest produced. A warm poultry house tends 'to make the fowls sluggish and unproductive. Indian Runners will lay from 150 to 200 eggs a year while common ducks lay only from 25 to 50. Dandelion leaves freshly gathered, when they are procurable, contain a valuable liver stimulant. A very common mistake made in keeping poultry is crowding the fowls into too limited a space. Too many poultrymen hatch their chicks so late that they have not time to mature for cold weather laying. •.A new poultry roost is made* of perforated iron tubing which has been soaked'in a solution deadly to insect life. ' ’ • The Pekin is known as the leading market duck of the world , and takes first place in the American standard of perfection. Many a person will give their chicks good care all through the brooding season and then neglect them when they go out on range. Cold eggs cari be beaten stiffer and lighter than warm ones. Before breaking them, drop in a pan of very cold water for a few moments. While pigeons t are always considered a nuisance by most farmers, If any at all are kept, keep only Homers, Carriers, or some pure breed. ■ .
