An Era of Republican Profiigacy
Imminent.

The President, in his message to
Congress, which convened last Mon
day, is supposed to have outlined
the salient features of his incoming
administration. 1t deals In many
plausible routine details that are to
follow as a matter Of course, whether
a Democrat or a Republican were to
be at the head of affairs. But 1t fails
to give definite expression on many
of the living issues upon which the
two leading parties are divided. and
upon which all political discussion
between them has hinged. In other
words. the message IL not remark
able for what 1t says SO much as Tor
what it does not say. The President
has failed to give any utterance at
all on the question of a revision OF
the tariff, and his position In regard
to the trusts is left entirely open.
The omissions I'm the message give
cause for suspicion that they were
Intentional, and not overlooked. In
fact the suspicion is gravely con-
tirmed when one takes into view the
tenor of legislation that Is being dis
cussed in Republican circles, and an
era of Republican profiigacy and Sec
tiopal and arbitrary legislation seems
imminent.
The faithful are marshaling their
hosts to reap share in the patron
age to be disbursed, and the trusts
and enterprise promoters are getting
in line to work their scheme to feed
at the public crib. Government as
sistance and subsidy projects are te
be found on all sides. A telegram
from Seattle. WASH, under date O
Dec. 5, is a fair sample OF what Is II
