Enough to Confuse.

It appears from ,he campaign
speeches that all the good things which
have come upon the country are dueto
the Dingley tariff; all the bad things
are the result of natural laws. over
which the republican party has had no
control. Thus, while republican policy
has caused good crops and general
prosperity, it has had nothing to do
with the growth of trusts. which
merely illustrate universal tendency.
The general advance of prices indi-
Gates the prosperity flowing from the
tariff; if wages and salaries have not
advanced spondingly, it is be

lions That Need Cause the
Trusts Any Alarm.

1t is pleasing to know that some at
least of the republican leaders who had
come to look on Mr.. Roosevelt as a
trouble hunter" are, since his speech
at Cincinnati, praising him for his
Conservatism" This is based chiefly
on the very emphatic manner in which
the president made it plain that he had
no intention of advocating the only
practical present curb on the evils at
tending the trusts-namely the with
drawal from them of the favors of the
tariff But without this most recent
demonstration of his purpose not to
interfere with the idol of his party
there does not seem to have been any
thing in the propositions Of Mr.. Roose-
welt that need alarm the most timid of
the politicians, says the New York
Times. After giving effect to all the
qualifications on which he insists there
is not much left to his speeches. Take
his latest and most carefully elabor
ated utterance at Cincinnati. Suppose
that he had contented hims elf with
statement in substance as follows: :
mo one knows exacly what is meant
by trusts There are coed ones and
there are bad ones. do not know ex-
aetly how to tell them apart. do not
know precisely what the evils of the
bad ones are. Whatever they may be,
remedy them. / do not know exactly

informed republican newspaper, the
Record-ierald, that the president Is
at the point of open rupture with Sec
rotary Shaw and that the latter NAV
resign from the cabinet. That there
were differences between the president
and Mr.. Shaw as to tariff revision has
been suspected"
This information is doubtless cor
rect as far as the differences about the
tariff, but that Shaw will resign from
the cabinet must be an evaporation.
He may be forced out. he might die.
but he will never resign. Why. Shaw
never had such soft snap in his life
before. With Wall street giving him
taffy and working him for favors Shaw
will not quit such a delicious Job. Then
think of all the glories Of the "Wash-
ington season" that is in store for the
Shaws. What. retire to the Iowa corn
fields; not much Shaw will talk pro-
lection or free trade. trust control or
free trusts, but resign. never.

REPUBLICANS RATIFIED.
1t Il No Wonder That the A"'"'
of High Tariff Don't Hno"
where They Are at

President Roosevelt in an MS
speeches never once referred 10 the re-
publican campaign text book. nor Tor
that matter does any other campaign
orator that has so far been heard from.
Was all the time and labor Of the COM
piler of that interesting production IN
vain? Are all the reputed facts ana
figures TO be buried in the junk shopF
The president openly rebuked the CON
gressional committee that issued the
campaign book by discussing the very
matters that were omitted from that
interesting production, such as Cuban
reciprocity and the reciprocity treaties.
He also took issue with the committee
on the tariff and trust questions.
With the president on the stump re-
futing the arguments put forth by
the republican committee in its Off
cial text book and rebuking the mis-
sion of matter that makes important
issues. that party certainly is in torn
up state and It is no wonder that so
many republicans don't know where
they are at.

what definite power it ought to have,
but the only way to give it is by an
amendment to the constitution, the
nature of which cannot be stated in
advance. But it will take great while
to get the amendment, and we can have
time to study it out. All l can say is
that wemust act with the greatest firm
ness and caution, courage and delibera-
ton, do nothing until we are sure we
are right, and do it without hesita-
ton"
Would not that be in reality all that
he did say in his speech at Cincinnati
or in the speeches that have preceded
it? As we have paraphrased his utter
ances they seem nonsensical. But is
the paraphraSe unfair or incomplete?
