WHEN “PRACTICAL MEN” MET

iPoMlbly E- H. Harrlman and President Roosevelt on Momentous Occasions Played Checkers. Why Mr. Roosevelt should break In upon the joyous Beason with another formal denial that he asked Mr. E. H. Harrlman to raise a big campaign fund for use in New York in 1904 is not exactly clear. He has pleaded not griilty several times before this, on one occasion In a letter much longer than that whihh he now publishes.

Mr. Harriman Is dead, but his evidence is on file, and perhaps it Is quite as trustworthy as anything that the former president may say on the subject. It was the letter to Mr. Harriman inviting him to viklt the White House at the time W'hen this campaign fund was stfld to have been discussed that contained Mr. Roosevelt’S celer brated wheedling expression: “You and I are practical men," Strangely enough, at the close of this interview Mr. Harrlman went hurriedly to the big interests in New York and raised $200,000, which amount, he said In his letter to Sidney Webster, “enabled the New York committee to continue Its work, with the result that at least 50,000 votes were turned In New York alone, making a difference of 100,000 In the general result.”

On this subject Mr. Roosevelt’s mind appears to be a blank. He can hardly remember meeting Mr. Harrlman and he Is perfectly sure that the question of campaign contributions never was discussed by them. Being practical men, the election being only a week or so away and New York being considered for some reason a doubtful state, they naturally talked on literary and t social topics exclusively, and Mr. Harriman’s description of the com ference, written at the time, may have been a delusion. This Is what alls all history. You never can believe anybody.T—St. Louis Republic. t .

Common Sense for Arbitration.

It is no small gain to the arbitration treaties in the senate that they should have won the support of John Sharp Williams, whose growing influence on the Democratic side of the chamber is noticeable. He is in disagreement with certain distinguished persons of President Taft’s party in and out of the senate. He thinks it absurd that American representatives on a joint high commission would regard as justiciable such home questions as alien immigration or defaulted state debts, or such settled national policies as the Monroe doctrine. But if a joint commission should so decide, it would be within the power of the senate to deal with the agreement as with any treaty. Wherein, then is there surrender of the constitutional prerogatives of the senate? Why quibble in a cause to end wholesale murder for the satisfaction of imperial ambitions or the greed of syndicated capital’—New York World.

They Do Not Mean It.

If the Republicans in congress were truly intent upon making a tariff to offset “the difference in the cost of production here and abroad,” as they pretend to be, the tariff question would disappear from politics in short order. t The difference in cost of production could be made up by a revenue tariff giving incidental protection and it need not average more than 15 or 20 per cent.- But that is not what thestandpatters want and it is not what they will have if they can control matters. | We now have tariff taxes on many necessaries ranging from 75 to 100 per cent. Most of these taxes, of course, are prohibitory. Prohibitory tariffs turn our markets over to home-grown monopoly, and it is monopoly which increases the living and corrupts our politics. There are no big campaign funds in a revenue tariff with incidental protection.

Wherein the Difference?

In an installment of his great message serial the president, although he indorses the central reserve association, says of the Aldrich scheme- “The wise and undisputed policy of maintaining unchanged the main features of our banking system renders it impossible to introduce a central bank ” This may be modified later on, but It ought to hold the gentleman from Rhode Island for a while.' What is the central reserve association but a central bank?
