Public attention as to the war in the
east is naturally and increasingly directed
to the land fighting and, notably, the
infantry tactics of both belligerents
Enough fighting has occurred to reveal
the resort Of Japs and Russians to the
old Roman method Of earthwork construc-
ton as the leading adjunct of answering
discipline and endurance. During our
civil war both armies showed an instinc-
tive appreciation of the value of impro-
vised earthworks, the system which Gus
tcAvus Adolphus effectively adopted and
SO made Sweden, for nearly a century
arbiter Of Europe, altho scant Of men
and money.

We haven't any idea that the national
platform will be patterned after the Iowa
structure with respect to the tariff. We
do not believe the republicans will go
before the country on national platform
proposing to 'stand pat' for four years
The republican policy as to protection
must be defined at Chicago for a long
period Of time, and it Is not reasonable
to suppose that, however much the high
protectionists might desire it,, the presl-
dent and his advisers will be willing to
take an attitude before the country Of
resistance Or even Indifference to such
revision of the schedules as conditions
might justify.

The Wisconsin Idea.

The iowa idea," which disappeared
mysteriously and suddenly from the
hawkeye state the other day, has
turned up in Wisconsin.
The La Toilette convention yester-
day adopted the following tariff reso-
lutions:
We firmly adhere to the fundamental
republican doctrine Of protection to Amer
lean labor and believe that the aim Of a
true protection policy should be to slim
ulate competition in the home market
and not destroy it by favoring trust COM
binations. We, therefore, believe in a
readjustment Of tariff schedules in all
cases where protection is employed for
the benefit Of capital only to the injury
Of the consumer and workingman.
The Iowa idea lost nothing of it's
audacity and force by the transplant
ing from Iowa to Wisconsin soil. It is
a plain, honest statement Of just what
most western republicans believe.
The "stalwart" convention did not
adopt the same phraseology, but 1t
recognized the tariff reform sentiment
among the republicans of the state by
declaring for readjustment Of the
tariff schedules as conditions demand,
and favored revision by the friends Of
the protective policy rather than by
it's enemies.
The Wisconsin republicans are COM
mitted by the platforms of both con-
ventions to the proposition Of tariff
revision, and the existence of these
resolutions In both platforms shows
conclusively that the republicans of
that state believe that there is oc-
casion for revision at the present time.
If the "standpatters" who seem to
have so successfully smothered the
tariff revision sentiment in Iowa
thought that by doing so they had
suppressed it everywhere they will re-
alize now that they left one point in
the line unguarded. The Iowa idea
may seem to be no more, but the Wis
consin idea is doing business.

Roosevelt's chances in Wisconsin this
year. The danger lies In the loss Of
seats in congress, and the loss Of the
legislature and Senator Quarles' place
in the senate. The "stalwart" ticket
may be withdrawn if 1t fails to be de-
clared regular but that cannot end the
feeling that exists. The fight must go
on as long as La Toilette insists on his
program, and the corporate interests
refuse to submit to it.
Tt seems likely that the Wisconsin
railroads are more scared than hurt. .

shots had been fired he handed the
pistol to "A negro woman named EuIa
