indianapolis News: The revolt in the
Republican party on the Porto Rican
tariff question proves that the Ameri-
can people are still capable of dealing
with moral issues in a courageous and
Independent way. Party papers have
discussed the question with an entire
freedom from partisan bias. They could
not have been more outspoken IN their
denunciation had the measure been of
Democratic origin. We have been told
that the storm would blow over; that
the people would yield when they "un-
derstood" the question. and that the
newspapers would fall in line when
they realized that they were hurting
the party. But nothing of this has hap
pened. The leaders md that it is not
easy TO cOerce the American people
These are, it seems to US, cheering
symptoms. The men who do the voting
are not TO be terrified by threats com
ing from Washington. This country is
not dominated from It's capital. as is
France. The real government IS in the
,,ecDle. Legislation a. washington -
blocked simply because congress does
not dare to go against the people But
the so-called leaders are apparently
hopelessly blind; or none Of them could
imagine that the great Republican pa
pers could be controlled by Mark Han
IA. Yet the attempt is being made TO
control them. Hanna and the other
leaders are sending for the Republican
editors and telling them what they
must do. That is something that a
newspaper man IS always gid to heart
