The Attacks on President Roosevelt.


The more the attacks-more or less
covert--that are being made upon Pres
ident Roosevelt are traced to their
sources the more they are seen to
emenite from Il small cOterie of Wall
street spectators. President Roose-
welt has incurred the emnity of these
men by directing the vigorous enforce
ment of the law governing trusts and
other organizations which operate to
the restraint of trade. Mr.. Roosevelt
did not make this law. 1t was enacted
by the peoples representatives in Con-
gress AS the National executive, how
ever, it was his sworn duty to enforce
it's provisions and this he has done
without fear or favor.
For this the plain people of the coun-
try will sustain him, and the protests of
men who would further their own sell
fish interests at the expense of the gen.
eral public, will not avail to deprive
him of the endorsement that will come
in his enthusiastic denomination. and
the vindication that will come in his
triumphant reelection to his present
exalted office.

Growth of Protection Sentiment IN
ENGLAND.

Inere is no Q1SSulSlHS tHe iaSe ehe'
the doctrine of free trade, which dates
from the days of Richard Golden, Is
seriously menaced in England. Fol
years this has been the established pol
icy of that country, and whatever party
might be in power the public knew
that it would be carried forward with
out change. Now public sentiment is
no longer unanimous in that country
regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of its con-
tinuance. There is a growing feeling
that under it's free trade regime Eng
land is rapidly losing its old CONNER
ciaI supremacy. The United States un-
der a protective tariff is everywhere
invading the markets that English
most exclusively their own. The mag
nificent prosperity of this country I'M
der the beneficent operation of the
Dingley tariff law has been an object
lesson to the whole world, and no.
where has it made a deeper impression
than in England.
Mr. Chamberlain is an avowed pro-
tectionist, and in accepting his recent
resignation from the English cabinet,
Prime Minister Balfour makes it very
clear that he is, to a considerable eX-
tent at least, in sympathy with him.
At present the protection which APP
pears to find the most favor in Eng
lish official circles would establish du-
ties upon goods from protectionist
counties, not only in England, but in
her colonies as well, and would hold the
against the world by having absolute
free trade among it's component parts
protectionist countries secured mar
kets in the English colonies that it is
not at all surprising that men like Mr..
Balfour and Mr.. Chamberlain. viewing
the general situation with alarm, should
regard such program as absolutely
essential to the future of English trade
There are many indications that this
view is quite generally shared by Eng
fish manufacturers who have felt very
keenly the effects of the strenuous
competition to which they have been
subjected during the past few years
especially from the United States.
At the present time the question
does not appear to have taken much
hold upon the English wage earners.
They are naturally inclined to be COM
sentative, and TO look with suspicion
innovations upon long established poll
cies. There is reason to believe. how
ever, that single campaign of educa-
ton, such as men like Mr.. Chamber
lain know very well how to conduct,
might work a radical change among
them by appealing with direct and
powerful force to their self interests.
1t is, at all events, very evident that
the tariff issue will be the leading one
in the next general election in England.
Such a contest would remind US very
wildly of the great contests on the
same question which have been fought
out in this country. From this time
forth British politics will have d new
interest to the people of the United
States. who will be anxious to watch
the final outcome of the great struggle
already foreshadowed.

when no good argument can be raised
That it has rarely been so administered
IN the past reflects no credit upon the
state nor upon its administrative Off
GERS A wealthy druggist has no great
er claim for consideration if he per-
slstently defies the law than has the
saloon keeper whom society looks down
upon. Mr.. Leigh took exactly this
ground and insisted that no distinction
should be made in favor of one class
OF law breakers over another. When
the liquor laws are administered in this
way throughout the whole State and
the man who is convicted of selling
liquor understands that he must be
punished in accordance with the terms
of the law without reference to his
personal standing or influence in the
community. Maine will have far less to
be ashamed of and can approach the
question of repeating or continuing the
laws as they stand with better grace"
