TARIFF REVISION.

1t is beginning TO be generally
doubted whether the Republican
party will persist in it's ante-electlon
declaration to "stand pat on the
tariff. Indeed, one sees more tarln
talk in the leading Republican papers
now than before the election, and
those papers which upheld the
avowed attitude of their party to
let the tariff alone are now most IN
sistent for revision. Some OF them
are even clamoring for an extra ses-
sion OF Congress, the purpose OF
which would be to cut down numer-
ons tariff rates. This change OF
front does not necessarily mean
tariff revision, because there Is a
large and powerful element oil the
Republican party irrevocably ad'
dicted to the "stand pat" policy,
and the most we can really expect
from this agitation is to see a lIveiy
fight with the outcome uncertain.
We do not look for the President
to call an extra session OF Congress
at the behess OF these revlsionists'
and while we believe the tariff ought
to be revised, we will endorse his
action II he does not. Whatever Is
done should be done at the next reg
ular session OF Congress. Nothing ID
the way OF legislation has such a
tendency to upset business as tinker
ing with the tariff, and the effect ol
calling an extra session OF Congress
for this purpose would greatly IN
crease this detrimental effect. What
ever is done, therefore, should be
done at the regular session and grad
ually, so as to have the least possible
instant effect upon business. Let the
good work go on-indeed it must 60
on sooner or later-but let us not
become unduly excited or precipitate
about it.

There seems TO be desire on the
part of many politicians to introduce
a voting machine by which a voter
designates his choice of a candidate
by pressing a button. Such ma
chine would not prove very compli-
Gated In the next Presidential cleo
ton. Tom Watson says he is going
to run for President again and every
body is going to votefor him. There

Woodrow Wilson, president OF Prince

the third annual dinner OF the Society OF

In an address on THE Political Stu.
alton in the South" President Wilson
said that no one could wonder at the
present impatience of the Southern polici
:al leaders at finding themselves without
real independence or il fluence in the poll
ties OF the country. He declared that II
was the only section of the country
which did not make real choice OF its
political action in the recent election.
He was opposed, however, to the sug
gestion that Southern Democrats act in
iependentIy OF old party affiliations, as
oy so doing they would draw upon them
selves afresh old enmities and suspicious
The real opportunity of the South, he
thought, to be the rehabilitation OF the
Democratic party on lines that would
restore it to dignity aud power by the
casting out OF radical theorists.
