ONLY HOPE IS IN WILSON

To Him Alone Can People Look for Serious Effort to Reduce Cost of Living. As the campaign progresses, it becomes plain that Gov. Wilson is the only presidential candidate to whom the can look for a serious effort to reduce the' high cost of living.

President Taft, who was born rich, approaches this question bnlv to explain why the high cost of living must remain high. He does not understand what high prices mean to poor people. and it is hopeless to try to teach him.

Mr. Roosevelt, who also was born rich, is interested in wars and rumors of wars, in grand stand plays, in spectacular denunciations, and most of all, in himself. If elected —which he will not be —he would probably raise the cost of living by his wide extravagance.

Governor Wilson alone has given careful thought to this most pressing problem of the day. Governor Wilson sees that needlessly high tariff duties raise the price of the articles on which they are levied by approximately the amount of the duty. He calls for a revision of the tariff downward, "steadily, and Unhesitatingly downward.” Governor Wilson sees that in the shade of the tariff the trusts gathered to exploit the people. He would not only cut down the trust protecting shade; but h<e would invoke the law, fearlessly and without favor, to break up the vast combinations which have assumed the right to fix the high cost of living “bv private agreement.” Only by the election of Governor Wilson and the triumph of the principles of which he Is the opponent, can the burden of high prices be lifted from the shoulders of the American people.

NOT RIGHT LEADER

COLONEL ROOSEVELT'B RECORD IS NOT CONVINCING OF HIS FULL SINCERITY. TOO FRIENDLY TO PRIVILEGE ; People Will Judge Him By His Inaction Concerning Tariff While President and Will Not Accept Lofty Phrases Of Altruism. Mr Roosevelt opened his campaign in Massachusetts with a telling speech. It was expressed with a good deal more than his usual skill of rhetoric. It was more than ordinarily free from bitter and abusive personajItles It was pretty much confined to general appeal, and it was couched in the spirit of lofty morality and altruism which he has deliberately chosen to adopt in the presentation of his claims to a third term. We say this in no mood of fyypercriticlsm. We simply note as a matter of significance and importance that Mr. Roosevelt has assumed the role of ethical and even religious prophet and reformer, and that he hopes thereby to attain his personal aims.

The sentiment to which he appeals is of immense strength and virtue. It is the saving salt of humanity. It is the force that has advanced the race from its low beginnings more than any other So far as Mr. Roosevelt can p.ersuade the public that he Is sincere, that his aims are honestly pursued, that his methods are intelligent and practical, he will unquestionably win support. Nor that alone, he will deserve it. For it is not to be forgotten that in the actual situation of public affairs in this country the sentiment of morality and altruism is extraordinarily excised. It takes the general form of resentment of the reign of privilege. Mr. Roosevelt is seeking to convince the people that he is the embodiment of that resentment, and if he can convince them of that he will have a great following; there has been and still is - a reign of privilege excessively oppressive, and it should be, must be, and will be ended

Is Mr. Roosevelt the man to accomplish this, to lead in it, even fairly to begia It? We are persuaded that he is not. The worst type of privilege resting on legislation in thiß country Is the so-called protective tariff. It Is also the most corrupt and corrupting force in our affairs. Mr. Roosevelt w'as at the head of the government for nearly eight years, and he did nothing to lessen this privilege or to abate its evil consequences. He refrained from doing anything in his first term w hen it was plain that resistance to the. tariff extortions would absolutely prevent his nomination. That is a fair and practical test of his sincerity. We think that it will be applied to his present' proposals to the people, and that it will be fatal His professed purpose as to the future will hardly help him. He now says that he is in favor of a revision of the tariff by a non-partisan com mission So is Mr: Taft Each of them contemplates a revision that w ill leave the protective principle, and the favoritism inherent in it, in full force. Mr. Roosevelt in this thing—and it is the most important thing in sight—plainly has no intention of ending the reign of privilege Moßt of his first address in Massachusetts was devoted to fervent advocacy of the general notion of industrial amelioration and general denunciation of the courts for preventing it He has no monopoly of this matter. His criticism of the courts is based on misrepresntation, on exaggeration, and Is singularly sophistical. A reasonable analysis of his professions and his ideas, so far as he has consented to define them, shows a very pale and ineffectual conception of the great subject with which he is undertaking to deal. That analysis will be made In the course of the next two months. ' The American people will not take high sounding and, for the moment, telling protestations of superior humanity as proof of Mr. Roosevelt's peculiar fitness for the Presidency.— N. T. Times.

WAS TIME TO CALL A HALT

Democratic Modification of Civi! Service Law Justified By Acts of Public Servants. The Democratic members of congress have committed themselves to a modification of the civil service law which limits tenure of office of government employes to seven years. This modification appears to have been suggested by the results of investigations of the executive departments which, in round numbers, employ 23,000 people resident in Washington alone. Through organization these employes have established conditions and exerted influences which the Democrats do not believe yield to the government the highest degree of efficiency. The Democrats may be right.

There is no doubt whatever that the Democrats have pretty good grounds for assuming the position they have. Even though their claims concerning the efficiency of civil service protected employes should not be wholly sustained by critical examination of service rendered, the fact remains that there are approximately 200,000 men and women scattered over the country who yield political service to the administration to which they owe ap-

pointment, and to the party Which secured such appointment. It is notorious that during the ante-convention campaign just concluded there were no more active partisans than those holding federal office. The tendency of civil service protection is toward license, which, carried to extremes, would prove mischievous in this country Even Grover Cleveland denounced “pernicious activity” on the part of such employes. The underlying principle of civil service is reward for efficiency and faithfulness in official duties. If its protection of office holders extended only so far it would give the country thoroughly trained high class public servants If its prohibitions were more rigorously enforced there would be less “pernicious activity” in political affairs. But they are not. Whether it be the fault of the administration or the party in power, public servants have been becoming political bosses to such an extent that the Democrats have had the courage to call a halt:

Too Radical for Democrats.

Mr. Hilles is probably right in the belief that Mr. Roosevelt will draw from both of the old parties. But certainly not in numbers from the Democratic party. For he must be intense in his radicalism indeed who leaves the Democratic party at this time to go experimenting with such a man as Theodore Roosevelt, with his bag of traps anc( tricks.—Washington Star.

Jingoes Must Be Satisfied.

After all the pother over battleships, one new one Is authorized, and we hope that the jingoes will not lose sleep that there are not two. The most alarming thing that has come from the naval experts Is that battleships are no good unless they come in sets An odd one is a great nuisance. The most powerful ship in the world would be a detriment unless there were enough of her to make a squadron. But as the styles change radically every four of five years, we should have only the more obsolete vessels to discard if we built several at a time. We can’t order superdreadnoughts in half-dozen lots without bankrupting ourselves for the production of warships that will go out of fashion as soon as the hats of women.

Bourke Cockran has come out for Roosevelt, but our opinion is tin colonel’s word mill needs no reinforcement. What he needs is votes and Bourke is a political scarecrow.
