THE TWO GREAT THINGS TO DO.

There are two great things tq do. One Is to set up the rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention of monopoly, the adaptation of otir banking and currency laws to the varied uses to which our people must put them, the treatment of those who' do the daily labor in our factories and mines and throughout all our great industrial and commercial undertakings and the political life of the people of the Philippines, for whom we hold governmental power in trust, for their service, not pur own. The other, the additional duty, is the great task of protecting our people and our resources and of keeping open to the whole people the doors of opportunity through which they must, generation by generation, pass if they are to make conquest of their fortunes in health, in freedom, in peace and in contentment. In the performance of this second great duty we are face to face with questions of conservation and of development, questions of forests and water power and mines and waterways, of the building of an adequate merchant marine and the opening of every highway and facility and the setting up of every safeguard needed by a great industrious, expanding nation. —From Woodrow Wilson’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination.

LOUIS D. BRANDEIS, BOSTON:

“Governor Wilson’s speech of acceptance Is the utterance of a twentieth century statesman; with keen perception he recognizes the evils from which the people are suffering and the dangers which threaten our welfare; with broad vision he points the way by which these evils may be removed and the dangers averted; he proves his understanding alike ( of business and of social needs and that he is a Democrat, in fact, as well as in name, and his courage is undoubted. Progressive Americans have in him a w r orthy leader.”

Bothover Is Identified.

I’rankfort, Aug. 19.—Jacob Bothover of Indianapolis, who was arrested in this city upon the charge of "picking pockets, was identified by B- L. Sump- 1 ter of Lebanon, one of the victims, and by several witnesses. Information from Indianapolis was to the effect that the man was an old offender. The Indianapolis department sent a photo of the man to this city and the resemblance was found Identical. Bothover was arrested in Indianapolis January 22, 1909, charged with picking pockets. The prisoner's wife-, accompanied by M. L. Markowitz, ah Indianapolis attorney, came to this city to look after proper legal protection for him.

THIRD TARIFF HURTS

ELIMINATION OF THAT IS UP TO THE AMERICAN VOTER. Admitting That in the Past the Tax, Honestly Applied, Was of Benefit, ( the Resent System Is One ■of Pure Robbery. The Payne-Aldrich tariff is not merely a single system of imposts. It contains three systems in one. There is a tariff for protection only. There is a tariff for revenue only. There is a tariff for robbery only' There three tariffs are jumbled together in the Payne-Aldrich schedules. The task of statesmanship is to separate them. ' The Examiner believes that the tariff for protection and the tariff for revenue are both legitimate in principle. They are indeed both absolutely necesary to the prosperity of the country, On the other hand, the tariff for robbery is, of course, wholly illegitimate. It should be utterly abolished. A protective tariff is a tariff to preserve home markets for home products —to the advantage of domestic lafor and capital. Obviously, if such a tariff is rightly levied it will tend to restrict the sale of foreign goods in the home markets. Therefore, it will not yield much revenue at the Custom houses.

A revenue tariff is a tariff levied to get money to run the government. It should be levied so as to bear mainly Upon luxuries that are not produced in this country. Hence there cannot be much protection in it. Thus it is a plain fact of fiscal science that a tariff system that Intends to be both protective and revenue producing is virtually two systems joined together. That is to say that the parts of such a tariff that are protection are not productive of revenue; and that the parts that are productive of revenue are not protective. But the tariff system under which we are trying to live is not merely two tariffs; it is three.

Besides the tariff that is protective and the tariff that puts money into the pubic treasury, there is a third tariff that neither protects nor yields public revenue. The tariff for robbery only is a tariff levied at a murderous high rate on the necessaries of life to enable home monopolists to charge extortionate prices ft does not in the least tend to protect American labor. On the contrary, it enables a privileged class of manufacturers to extort high prices without paying high wages. It dries up the springs of national wealth by lowering the purchasing power of every honest man’s income. It produces no public revenue, sjnee it bars out foreign goods—keeps them from coming through the custom house. It is simply and wholly a crushing tax levied by private citizens upon the mass of the people.—Chicago Examiner.

Wise Naval Proposition.

The naval situation was thoughtfully handled in the Democratic platform. It says: “We approve the measure reported by the Democratic leaders in the house of representatives for the creation of a council of national officials which will determine a definite naval program with a view to Increased efficiency and economy.” An effort was made in the senate by Senator Overman of North Carolina, Democrat, to bring about a committee amendment calling for a national council of defense, similar to the one proposed in the platform, but his suggestion was defeated on a point of order. The Democratic recommendation appears sound Why would it not be a wise thing for congress to approve two battleships for the present and then create the council of defense?

Level-Headed Man Wanted.

Theodore Roosevelt wants the public to understand that refusal to follow his leadership will result In the country going to pieces. While everybody is willing to concede that the former president is a man of ability, everybody is not ready to acquiesce in any foolish assertion that we are lacking in the men of mark who, when called upon by a crisis, would fall to meet every requirement. The trouble with the colonel is his inability to cease posing as. a great patriot. W’hlle the country must face many problems, there Is no call for a Caesar or a Napoleon. A plain, level-headed American citizen is what is wanted at Washington during the next few years. And the Democratic party will supply that man.

Simple Reason.

Mr. “Taft said at Winona that the woolen schedule as It stands is “indefensible.” He knows that the reason why It cannot be defended is because it is full of theft.

Country’s Real Need.

We need more federal regulation of trusts that are too powerful to be dealt with by states. How far to go, how much power to give to the proposed commission, time must tell us. Trust law, like commerce law, had better be a matter of evolution and experience, .The power to fix maximum prices will not be conferred now by any congress on any Industrial commission. Such power may be conferred at some future time. Statesmen do not anticipate facts and opinion too much.

DEMOCRACY MUST BE A WORTHY INSTRUMENT

People Trust It, Says Woodrow Wilson, and It Must Make Good. ’I . ’ Sea Girt, N. J. —Woodrow Wilson at the “Little White Housol’ at Sea Girt is daily called upon to demonstrate his ability as a ready speaker. There is not d day passes but what he meets various delegations who call to assure- him of their support. In speaking of political machines to the Brooklyn Democratic club Governor Wilson said: “Machines are bad, but an organization may be very essential. For instance, I have been surrounded by an organization here in New Jersey while doing my best work. A machine uses its political opportunities for the selfish ends of its members. No members of opr organization would ea(er think of doing that. Public opinion in New Jersey has drawn the distinction. It has killed the machines, and it is going to keep the organization going. “It seems to me that we are standing in the presence of something higher than allegiance to the Democratic party. The country has been disappointed in the Republican party, and it is turning to the Democratic party. That party is willing to show the way toward those things which must be realized.

“Some gentlemen seem to find it easy to make personalities out of politics, but it seems to me that whenever that is done politics is debased. “Men who are in search of reform are now resorting to the Democratic party, because, for my own part, I do not know where else they will turn to expect the results. There Is no discounting the strength and serviceability of a united party, and the splendid part is that the Democratic party is united.

“Speaking seriously, nothing affords me more genuine pleasure than to receive such greetings from men In Jersey who have at least tested my qualities. Because you have known me at close range and if you will be kind enough to vouch for me perhaps the rest of the country will be credulous of your report. “I have spent a great deal of time since I .became governor of New Jersey defending your character. It was supposed In the old days, when the board of guardians was In charge of the state, that you were all of you disposed to give the most monopolistic trusts in the country a great ringing welcome, in New Jersey. “New Jersey was known as the mother of trusts—a very troublesome and questionable family—and I spend my time outside New Jersey assuring the people of the Union that It had not been the fault or the disposition of the people of New Jersey that there were certain gentlemen who had undertaken to carry the Republican party in their pockets and to administer independently of the rank and file of Republicans In the state. “New Jersey is progressive, but the United States Is progressive, and we have here merely a delightful sample of the people of the United States. “Now, these people are not bent on destroying anything, but they are bent on setting everything In order; they are bent upon justice; they are bent upon seeing to it that the people in general are partners of the government, as I was trying to show the other day. And the Democratic party Is now placed under a peculiar responsibility. It has to prove that It is the worthy Instrument of that real on the part of the people of the United States. If it does not prove It now It will never be given another chance to prove it. No party that proves unfaithful to that ideal will ever again be trusted by the people of America. And therefore we are standing at a turning point in our politics. We must make good or go out of business. In the vernacular, it is a case of ‘put up or shut up,’ because words are going to be discounted. Nothing will be honored except the actual carrying out of such programs as sensible men may unite in for the common benefit”

THE GREAT DUTY OF ADJUSTMENT.

We are servants of the people, the whole people. The nation has been unnecessarily, unreasonably at war with Itself. Interest has clashed with Interest when there were common principles of right and of fair dealing which might and should have bound them all together not as rivals, but as partners. As the servants of all we are bound to undertake the great son’s Speech Accepting the Democratic Nomination. duty of accommodation and adjustment. —From Woodrow Wll-

Wllson will make the most accessible president who has ever occupied the White House. He is typically a Democratic man. Wilson is the best equipped man nominated for the presidency since Lincoln. George W. Perkins is sure a “bully” Progressiva.
