NO DODGING OF ISSUES

ROOSEVELT SHOULD DROP THE OLD CATCH-VOTE PHRASE.

Thinking Men Never Evade the Vital Questions and Colonel Is Only a Trailer.

"We are a great industrial people. We cannot longer escape facing the questions that necessarily arise with the growth of modern industries,’' said Colonel Roosevelt at Springfield, 111. The same old catch-vote phrases. Is there a thinking man who has any desire to evade the vital questions of the hour? Does the ex-president know of anybody who is dodging the issues which are before us every hour of every day? We Could not escape them if we would. For a score of years the solution of the problem created by capital and labor has engaged the highest thought and best endeavor of some of the brightest and most disinterested minds in the country. When Roosevelt was denouncing Socialists as enemies of the government they were earnestly striving for a better understanding between those who employ and those who toil. Ten years ago William Randolph Hearst was advocating the very same “principles” for which the chief Bull Moose says he himself now stands, and was denounced “as the last word in yellow.” When consistent Progressives were first aroused to the urgent and exacting needs of our complex civilisation, those needs were sneered at. How it must gall those brave pioneers to have all the fruits of their patriotic labors stolen and to hear the larceny applauded by the throng 1 Mr. Roosevelt is not a leader—a pathfinder. He is a trailer, but he makes so much noise that many otherwise reliable people regard him as the leader, of the band. ,

What Could He Do?

If Theodore Roosevelt could be elected president, what reforms could he proceed to put through? This is what the Roosevelt supporters, breathless from much cheering, have wholly neglected to inform the rest of us. Mr. Roosevelt could not bring about the election of senators by direct vote; that can only come through a constitutional amendment. He could not make universal the presidential preference primary; that rests with the several states. He could not recast the trust or transportation laws; that is the province of congress. He could not bestow upon a waiting nation the power to recall judicial decisions; that would require the amendment of one federal anff forty-eight state constitutions. He could not fight the trusts. Mr. Perkins, Mr. McCormick and Mr. Hanna were not bom yesterday. Nor has Mr. Roosevelt forgotten the tirpe whenjhe Harriman correspondence ■canffehonie to roost.” He) could not touch the tariff, even if he knew anything about it or had any convictions about it. That, also, rests with congress, and Mr. Roosevelt's tendency to quarrel with congress has already been impressively demonstrated! He could not —conscientiously do anything to help on the movement to limit the service of a president to one term of six years. That might cause the ruin of the country at a future time when, having left the chair just long enough to demonstrate to an ungrateful people how sure things were to go to smash in any other hands, the great cause which he typified, and represented could only be furthered by once more supporting him. Nor could he perform the regular duties of the executive office to the profit of the American people. He spent seven years and a half in the president's chair. He permitted the Steel trust to enlarge and consolidate its monopoly. He created commissions and boards without warrant of law. He set congress by the ears and ended his second term In a weiter of ill feeling. But he did not place to his credit, in more than seven long years, one conspicuous achievement through the legal and constitutional exercise of his official powers.

Might Auction Its Favors.

The honester method would be for the Republican party to offer its fa'ors at auction. It could raise an unlimited campaign fund by selling in Pittsburg the right to fix the steel duties, and in Fall River the right to fix the duties on cotton goods, and id Lawrence the right to name the duties on woolens. The present method is the same in substance, but it is not businesslike. Immunity from prosecution under the Sherman law would be worth a good deal of money to the big combinations, but they ought to have some assurance that if they give $125,000 they will not be prosecuted because they refused to be “touched" for an additional >150,000. s

Growing Brighter Daily.

Even in the east, Democratic prospects appear to be growing brighter daily and there is reasonable probability of the electoral vote of several of these states being cast for the Democratic nominees. The feeling seems to pervade nearly all sections of the country that it will be either Taft or Wilson, and with that assurance the Democrats can make victory certain by putting enough of intelligent energy Into the campaign.—Houston Post.

STEEL TRUST TREASON

ARMING POSSIBLE ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES.

Under Protection It Sells Armor Plate to Foreign Nations 40 Per CenL Cheaper Than at Home. The steel trust is a great financial, industrial, and especially a great political institution. Through political influence it gets free trade labor and the highest kind of “protection” on its manufactured product.

Through its control of the Roosevelt administration It received permission to break the law, and buy in at panic prices the property of its only strong competitor, the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. Through its control of every Republican administration it has been able to follow a course of downright treason toward the United States government and still keep the favor of that government. The steer trust sells armor plate to Japan and other foreign nations 40 per cent, cheaper than it sells the same armor plate to the government of the United States. The armor plate for which the trust gets SIOO from our own government is sold for S6O to the government of Japan! Think what this means. Do you understand it? Can you grasp the full meaning of it? . It means that Japan can build a battleship of American steel for $6,000.000 which would cost our own government $10,000,000! It means that Japan need spend only $6 to match our $10 —in our own markets. It means that for the same money Japan can build almost twice as big a fleet as our own government can, and build it of American steel! It means that the steel trust ta robbing the people of the United States with one hand and arming possible enemies of the United States with the other. This Is one use the steel trust makes of the tariff. And the steel trust which does this comes whining to congress for “protection,” and doesn’t want the tariff revised save by a board of experts — steel trust experts.

Protection and Shipping.

A representative of the Cramp Shipbuilding company objects that the granting of American registry to foreign-built ships would be the application of free trade to a single Industry. which strikes him as unjust. The fact is that the deep sea carrying trade is one to which the protective system cannot possibly be applied, either directly or through the protection of the shipyards.

Where both ends of a maritime route end in our own jurisdiction we can shut out foreign competition, and we do so; only ships of American registry can engage in the coastwise trade. Where one end is in our own and the other end in a foreign country we cannot apply the protective system, either by restricting the ships that may be employed, or by differential duties on the goods, or by flag duties, or differential port charges, on the vessls. It ought to be perfectly plain that any discrimination against foreign vessels will be retaliated against by foreign countries, and the logical result, and also the reductio ad absurdum, would be that all Imports would come in our own vessels and all exports would go out in foreign vessels, and both domestic and foreign vessels would cross the ocean in. one direction empty, and freight rates would have to be so high as to pay for the round trip with cargoes carried one way. The deep sea carrying trade is inherently competitive, and we cannot possibly change it. What good does It do the American shipbuilder to limit American registry to the products of his yard? Ships under foreign flags can bring eMods to and take goods from our ports, and this must be so until we are willing to have our shipping barred from foreign ports. American registry is not necessary to enable a vessel to do business in our ports or even to be the property of our citizens, and Americans own a large amount of shipping under foreign flags. If our yards are not now building vessels for the deep sea trade, how could their business 1 be affected If American registry were granted to foreign-built ships? Our yards cannot lose anything they have not got, and never can get. until they can compete with foreign shipyards.

Colonel Roosevelt announces that It will take more than 50 years to put all his ideas into effect. He must not worry; the country will be willing to wait a great deal longer than that for most of them. —Philadelphia Press.

Doesn’t Disturb Wilson.

College professor, schoolmaster, academic dreamer —these words of opprobrium are still being hurled by the practical Progressives at the devoted head of Gov. Wilson. The Democratic nominee seems to bear up under the assault with a fair degree of equanimity; but what shall be said of numerous other college professors, schoolmasters and academic dreamers, to whom only the other day the new party of redemption was pointing with pride?—New York Evening Post
