WILL GUARD “CITADEL”

REPUBLICAN BLUFF AT REDUCING TARIFF IS AMUSING. People Indulge in False Hopes If They Imagine the Wool' Manufacturers Are in Any Danger of 1 That Sort. Because the Republican members of the house; ways and means committee have introduced a bill which purports to reduce the tariff on wool and woolens, we are not necessarily to assume that the leopard has changed his spots.”'' The wool schedule has been denounced by President Taft on several occasions as absolutely indefensible. It is absolutely indefensible because its authors pretended to revise its tax rates downward, but in fact marked them tip; because it taxes coarse and cheap goods much higher thgm fine and costly goods, and because it was notoriously written by agents of the wool growers of the west acting in collusion with the wool manufacturers of the east. When this infamy w as under way in 15*00 Nelson W. Aldrich warned the standpatters of the senate that “the w ool' schedule is the very citadel of the protective system and to reduce that schedule is to destroy the whole system.” The wool schedule is the citadel *of , the protective syst em because in .hat measure are centered and combined the selfish interests of agricultural st2*es and the selfish interests or manufacturing states. It bribes the farmer to connive with the mill owner. The reason why the protective system would be destroyed if this schedule were to be substantially rrdueed is found in the fact that any truly remedial legislation would be certain to cut off the plunder of the big shepherds of the west and in that case turn the farmers against the tariff generally. For many years it has been the votes of farmers rather than the votes of so-called protected labor that have perpetuated cur tariffs of extortion. These things being true, let no one take it for granted that there has been any change of heart on the part of the Republican members of the ways and means committee. It is against reason to suppose that any Republican tariff bill contemplates a reductionjof taxation, no matter what its authors may say. It is flying in the.face of all the probabilities to assume that a Republican tariff bill presented in a presidential year is intended to cut off one cent of plunder from the. most unconscionable conspiracy in restraint of trade that ever has existed. It is the extreme of ignorance arid gullibility to accept in good faith, a pretense that is belied by the records!cf forty years,—St, Louis Republic.

More Binding.

Out upon such wild vagaries. The colonel is a good Republican, and the proof that he is going to. abide by the verdict of the Chicago convention is furnished by himself. Hasn’t he said that he would accept that verdict?—New York Herald. _ Sure. But has the colonel any objections to making an affidavit this time —as a mere formality, cfcourse?

Typographical Error.

“We, the people,” said T. R Are there really two of him?—Detroit Free Press.

Worth Some Consideration.

There are at leas' two factions' in Wall street, and George W. Perkins is a spokesman for one. Is he priming Mr. Roosevelt? If Mr. Roosevelt is nominated at Chicago will Mr, Perkins be the voice behind the'candidate in tEe latter’s deliverances about trusts? And if Mr. Roosevelt is returned to the White House will Mr. Perkins be the power behind the throne in shaping the trust recommendations to congress? The two men think alike on the subject.

A DANGEROUS CLIMB

Says ‘‘Let the People Rule,” But He Seems to Assume That He Is the People. "In our cities the misgovemment is (iu-e not to misdeeds of the rich, but to tl.e low standard of honesty and morality among our citizens generally:” Theodore Roosevelt is the author of those words. They are to be found in his published volume entitled, “American ideals.” 1 But he wrote them before he was a candidate. In the Columbus speech the colonel announced his belief in “pure democracy. ’ In New York the other night the subject of his address was “The Right of the People to Rule.” But it is apparent that in his heart of hearts he has a considerable number of strings tied to popular rule, for he was already on record, in the same printed volume, as preaching this doctrine:

“Governmental power should be concentrated in the hands of very few men, who would be so conspicuous that no citizen could help knowing all about them, and the election should not come too frequently..”

JThat doesn’t fit in very well With his Portland speech. • Colonel Roosevelt has little use for the Constitution if if stands in the way of his ideas of how things should be run. Even the Supreme court he contemptuously tramples on when its Views do net coincide with his own. The trend of his 'mind is easy to follow: “Let the people rule. But lam the people.” As long as they follow him, well and goo-d. Give him authority. After that, the fewer elections the better. Let him continue to manage. There have been others besides Colonel Roosevelt Who have believed that they ought to be given life power and a commission to regulate the universe, but as a rule they have been found inside the asylums.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Really, it is very saddening to note the conduct of the factions of the brethren toward each other. | The Roosevelt men charge the Taft supporters with “coercing” federal officers. i The 'Taft advocates retort With assertions qbo.ut a “slush fund” for the opposition, i ' ' If this sort of thing shall continue, the will begin to believe both sides. lV

ROOSEVELT'S ITCH FOR POWER

Taxing Wealth.

What militant Democracy can accomplish is shown by the vote in the house of representatives on the bill taxing incomes of partnerships and individuals. Every Democrat recorded himself in its favor, and only fofty-one Republicans, nearly all of them from the far east, ventured to vote (against it.

Yet this measure was fought to the last by the principal leaders and newspapers of the Republican party. To judge by the expressions of the usual spokesmen for plutocracy and privilege, no Republican in good standing would favor it. When it came to the test, however, only 41 out of 162 stood fast. - •'

This bill taxes property and substance, hot need and use. It makes wealth pay, not poverty. It levies on abundance rat heir than on scarcity. Some day the principle which it embodies will prevail everywhere.

Very Sad.

Protection Rottenness Shown.

As (corporations control the vast majority of factories, the wage of $lO a week (considerably less than $2 a day) paid by the protected cotton industries. may be taken as the average. Workmen in trades that, are not protected receive larger wages- carpenters. $3.50 a day; bricklayers, $4.80; hod carriers from $2.60 to $3, and stone ma,sons, $4. Ten dollars a week is not a living wage for a man with family. Yet this is the average paid by the protected industries.

HOLDS MATCHES AND WATCH Bed Pocket That Takes Up Little Space and is Most Practical and Convenient. Matches and a watch are two things that should always be within easy reach of one's bedside at night time, and the habit of placing them under a pillow is by no means a good one.

p

We give, therefore, a sketch of & dainty and decorative little pocket for hanging from the wall at some convenient spot; well within reach and designed to hold both these articles. It is carried out in pale green silk, and in the upper part a small stick of w’ood is sewn into the material and in the center of the wood a little brass hook is screwed, on which the watch may be hung. Attached to the ends of the wood is a loot) of dark green satin ribbon, finished off on either side with three loops and at the top with a rosette bow. The lower part is arranged as a pocket for the matches, and on the front the conventioual design shown is worked in pale pink silk and the pocket is lined with soft silk of a color to match, and dark green silk cord finishes off the edges throughout. This useful little article should be lined at the back and a piece of stiff cardboard sewn in between the silk and the lining to stiffen it and keep tt & shape.
