"A Great Disappointment.

The presidents disability, with it's ser
.quential canceling, of the rest of the
planned western tour, will be regretted
for more reasons than one. The people
are sympathetic with the president in his
slight but painful malady, which has
wisely been taken in hand in time. They
are regretful on their own account, be-
cause they had set: much store on seeing
and hearing him. They are disappointed
that the series Of presidential deliverancss
on questions of the day should have been
so bruskly broken off. '''
Probably far more alarm will be felt
over the presidents injury than the facts
justify. 1t is natural, of course, that any
i'll of the nation most important tnd1vtd-
ual, should be magnihed, but the doctors
and Secretary Corte1you have doubtless
told the whole truth. The president suf-
fered from an abcess which might easily
have become a menace to his life, but had
not yet reached that stage. An operation
was imperative, and ordinary caution de.
manded that it be followed by rest.
Knowing that the country was anxious
to hear from him on the question of the
revision of the tariff, the president prob
ably made his Logansport speech take the
place Of a longer one intended for deliv-
cry In Milwaukee, he then knowing that he
would not be- able togo as far as Milwau-
kee. That speech is too brief to give a
clear idea of the presidents opinion of the
tariff as it stands. He goes SO far as to
say that in a growing country tariff Is
always in need of some changes, but does
not undertake to put his finger on any in
appropriate schedule. He might have done
so had he continued his tour. ,-,
Yet, having recommended that the tariff
question be taken out of politics, 1t is
doubtful whether he would have attempted
to criticize the existing tariff in detail.
The correspondents have assumed that the
president determined: after the Oyster
Bay conference, to call a special session Of
congress in 1908 to revise the tariff. but q
special session will scarcely be necessary
for the creation Of commission, though
the constitution of a commission as the
result of such session would impress the
members with the fact that they were ex
pected to do something besides draw theil
| salaries and treat the public to general
| ties. !.

The President on the Tariff.

At Logansport, yesterday, the president
gave full expression to his views on the
subject of dealing with the tariff. It had
not been expected that he would, in a
special manner, discuss this matter, but
he devoted his whole speech to it and very
strongly favored as an essential reform
the creation Of a permanent tariff commits
sion, that the whole question Of customs
duties may be taken out of politics and
be treated as a business matter, the adj
justments and readjustments found neces-
sary under such treatment being the work
of body Of experts acting only from the
standpoint of our business and industrial
needs.
The president affirms that the machin-
cry already exists for the effectuation of
the plan he outlined and that it can be ac-
scomplished, eff only our people will make
up their minds that the health of the
community will be subserved by treating
the whole question primarily from the
standpoint of the business interests Of the
entire country, rather than from the
standpoint Of the fancied interests Of any
group Of politicians" He was careful to
state that such change should be made
ION the basis Of fixed and definite prin-
.ctples, and with due regard for the inter-
,ests of the business man, the wage Garner
and the farmer" The president then en-
,phatically declared that 1.-The general tariff
policy to which, without regard to changes
. In detail, believe this country to be ire
vocably committed, is fundamentally
based upon ample recognition of the diff
ference Of labor cost here and abroad"
d That, indeed, is the true doctrine Of pro-
lection. The formula is: Find out the
actual cost of producing an article at home
and the cost of producing the article
abroad and the difference between these
sums is the measure of the duty to be laid
upon the foreign article. Anything more
than this is bounty-giving, which breeds a
passion for a crescendo movement in the
bounty system. The presidents idea O,
lifting the tariff question entirely out Of
politics is most creditable to his states.

THE LOVE-7ALkER.

I met the Love-Talker one eve In the glen.
He was handsomer than any OF our hand-
some young men;
His eyes were blacker than the jsloe, his
voice sweeter far
Than the grooming Of old Kevin's pipes be-
yond in Coolnagar -:
I know not what way he came no shadow

But all the signing rushes swayed be-
meath a fairy wind
The thrush ceased its singing, a mist
crept about.
We two chung together-with the world
shut out.
Beyond the ghostly mist could hear my
cattle low,
The little COW from Ballina clean as
driven snow.

Inisher;

duties are immoderate the jealousies en-

Good Move bv Jones.

In forbidding the illegal practice of
transferring liquor licenses Acting Mayor
Jones has taken a step that is important
in two ways:
It Institutes a notable and needed re-
form. -
It establishes mark for the city ad-
ministration that comes into power on
January 1 next.
Under the system of transfer which has
been wlnked at by several administra-
lions and especially promoted by the late
Ames administration. the same license
might, in the course of the year, give
legality to several different saloons, under
as many different nominal ownerships.
1t was a system we'll calculated to keep
Brewing companies supply the cash for
great many licenses. When the holder Of
one Of these closes his saloon the brewing
company simply turns his license over to
some other person DESTROYS Of engaging
in the business somewhere in the city.
Records of these transfers may or may
not be kept by the license inspector, and
that individual may decline to show his
records If he has them, as, we believe
Inspector Gardner did under the Ames
administration. Mayor Jones now re-
Quires the man who goes out of business
to turn in his license and receive in re-
turn the portion of the $1,000 paid for it
corresponding to the unexpired period of
the license. This will make it necessary
for every man starting in the liquor bust
ness to put up $1,000: sIfs5thea brewing
companies continue. to be the finanefal
hackers 81 the saloon-keepers they will
have to provide $1,000 every time a new
saloon is started, which is quite different
from the easy process Of moving license
from one saloon to another.
Great pressure will probably be brought
to bear on the next mayor! whether he be
Mr. Haynes or Mr.. Powers; to return to
the easy going policy Mr.. Jones has so
wisely discarded. But it will be no SIM
pie thing for the mayor to yield. Mr..
Jones has lacked up city policy in a
very conspicuous way and if his successor
wishes to depress it he cannot do SO
without calling down upon himself popu-

j MINNESOTA POLITICS

John II. Burns Of I.anesboro, Fillmore
county, Is an announced candidate for
speaker Of the next Minnesota house.
MIR. Burns, who served with credit to
himself and his constituency in the last
house, was renominated by a fattering
vote, and his election is positively assured.
AS far as hissseat in the legislature is
concerned, Mr.. Burns work is over, and
he is therefore free to start a. speakership
campaign three months and a. half before
the house caucus
No other candidate is now in the field.
It IS not probable that Hennepin will pre-
sent any one, since this county has the
nominee for lieutenant governor, and a
Hennepin county man will preside over
the senate. BY his early announcement
the Fillmore county man evidently hopes
to keep down the field Of candidates and If
possible to confine it to himself. He de-
veloped into a legislator of high order
during the last session, and is good speak
erShip material.
Hopes In Three Districts
= Though the democratic candidates for
congress have all joined in a pronuncia
mento, and will make an active canvass
for election, the leaders have not even the
slightest hope of winning in more than
three districts. These are the third, fifth
and sixth. In the first Congressman Taw-
ney's 1900 plurality over Knatvold gives
him a prestige that will be impossible to
overcome. The second is well united on
McCleary, and considered absolutely safe.
In the fourth district Congressman Stew
ems will carry all three counties. In the
seventh the democrats have no candidate,
and the populists will half Of them vote
for Xolstead. : In the eighth Captain Fay
went after, the nomination to show the
Duluth democrats that they could not run
the district. He suseceded in that and is
apparently satisfied. He will not be dan
gerous for Bede. In the ninth the divided
opposition gives STEVENSON easy sailing.
The democrats bank on republican dis
affection in the third and sixth districts,
and in the fifth they place their hope in
John Lind and his strength as a vote get
ter. At republican headquarters they pre-
dict a solid nine from Minnesota, and
vigorous efforts will be made. in the three
disputed districts by both sides.

Some Of the candidates for republican
nomination to congress wrote their own
platforms in lieu of those furnished by
conventions under the old nominating sys-
tenn. OF these, Mr.. Tawney and Mr.. Bede
are the only ones who have been nomi-
mated. The democratic candidates did not
put forth personal platforms, but met yes
terday in st. Paul and drew up one on
which all eight will stand. That plat
form contains practically but one plank,
that of tariff revision, with the trusts as
the special target. 1t remains to be seen
whether the republican candidates will fol-
low this. example ,orszcontentst themselves
with individual platforms or none at! all:
The president s.. outspoken opposition, to
tariff revision as means of reaching the

the republicans to say anything.

and the insistence that tariff revision can
not affect trusts, coupled with the demand,
for a constitutional amendment may
strike them as being the pushing away Of
the most easily available remedy while
making a show Of being much in earnest
about one that is remote and difficult of
attainment.
On the other hand, the country's firm
conviction that the president is fearless
and on "the square" may make all such
differences futile. .5' ..' -,
