Gradual and Thorough.

When Governor Wilson said, following his conference with Congressman Redfield, that he believed the revision of the tariff should be gradual and thorough he made it clear that he is in agreement with the leaders of the party generally. As soon as the Democrats organized the house they entered upon a programme of tariff reform which was expressed in a series of bills approved and sent to the senate for action. They were not general tariff bills, but bills relating to certain schedules of the Payne-AldHcta law. The iron and steel, wool and sugar schedules are examples. They were selected because they were the most flagrantly unjust applications of the Republican protective tariff theory. What the Democracy has done already is a fair index of what it proposes to do. The evils of the tariff are not the only ones, and when the work is done every schedule will have been scrutinized and acted upon as the Democratic party has already acted. Governor Wilson’s interview is assurance that the future executive is in hearty sympathy with the party position.

Taft’s Weak Defense.

Mi 1 . (Taft has shown that the Philippines haVe cost the United States nothing if you leave out of account the principal item like “the expenditures incident to military and naval operations and the support of the United States forces in the archipelago.” But if it had not been for the annexation of the Philippines would all these millions have been spent? A clumsier attempt to bolster up a case palpably bad could not be imagined. ■

ABIDING FAITH IN ALL MEN

Broadmindedness of Governor Marshall |« Shown in Recent Interview With Him. j “I believe in a tariff for revenue only, i believe we should not turn to something else before we have taken care of that. The initiative and referendum can wait. I am sometime* tempted to think that the malign side of big business is stirring up these new issues in order that the tariff question may be snowed under and forgotten. But It ought not to be forgotten. 1 have heard about these Infant industries that need protection and I have seen them; seen them taking advantage of one dollar of protection to take three dollars more out of our pockets, out of your pockets and mine But I do not believe in nouncing and condemning them. They are men, our brothers. This thing cannot be solved by hatred; it can only be solved by brotherly love. Put It to them as men, put it to their sense of honor and generosity, put it to the spirit -of idealism in their hearts and they will respond. I have no use for the man who makes his pile by crooked means and low tricks and then, when he has made his pile, turns round and tries to. buy public opinion by gifts and benefactions. Let him begin right now. and cut out the crooked ways and mean tricks. Appeal to him as a man, appeal to what is generous in him, and he will do it. He is only the victim of a low general standard of success. Draw- on what is noble in him, for much in him is noble, and he will turn on himself and deal generously.”—Governor Marshall Interviewed by Charles Johnston, In Harper’s Weekly.

END OF REPUBLICAN PARTY

Leaders, in Their Mad Struggle for Office, Urging It Toward the Abyss of Oblivion. No party has ever been so indicted by its leaders as the Republican party Is today. No other party leaders were ever driven to the consideration of such extremes as the Taft managers now have under advisement. They are frankly debating the wisdom of placing an independent ticket of Taft electors in states where electors running on the regular ticket, with Taft at the head, have announced their Intention of voting for Roosevelt ia the electoral college. The fantastic possibility of Taft running in some states only on the regular party ticket, in other states on the regular and on an independent ticket. In still others on an independent ticket, his right to appear on the regular ticket having been forfeited. Is before us. And with Roosevelt approximately duplicating this unprecedented performance, the confusion, of course, becomes worse confounded. It is not a mere party struggle. It is a riot of office-mad politicians. To the people as a whole, regardless of party lines, it is a loathsome exhibition, The Republicans are demonstrating what happens to a party when the foundations of personal good faith underlying all political actlvitjr la shattered. —St. Louis Republic. •
