That Tariff Plank.

It becomes more and more evident
that the ingenuity of Democratic plat
form builders will be taxed to the ut
most when 1t comes to fixing up the
tariff plank at st. Louis. The people
are rather used to free trade straddles
they have even been deceived two OF
three times, but not again so soon
after the experience under the last
free trade law. The best thing the
Democratic party can do is to skip
the tariff plank this time. By the way

DEALS WITH CALLERS QUICKLY
President Roosevelt Has Become Ex-
pert at Hand Shaking.

President Roosevelt has succumbed
to the Misunderstanding necessity. When
he undertook the duties Of the presi-
dency he had an idea that much valu-
able time had been wasted by his
predecessors in unnecessary saluta-
lions Of this kind and for many weeks
he did little promiscuous shaking. But
the pressure from the pump-handle
brigade has been severe and he has
felt 1t necessary to yield from time
to time, until he is now one of the
most expert grippers Of the palm
known to the trade. Every day, just
before luncheon, he holds an informal
reception, at which from twenty to
fifty persons, mostly women, are pre-
sented and greeted in the stereotyped
manner. The morning he received a
visiting delegation of one of the fra
ternal organizations and report credits
him with shaking hands with 1900
men in twenty minutes.

Is EASY TO FORGET
HINTS TO EDITORS AS TO THEIR
OPPORTUNITIES.
President of the New York State Re-
publican Editorial Association Tells
His Brethren of the Press That
They Must Keep Vital Issues In the
Foreground.

Due appreciation of the Importance
Of the issue to be decided in the cam
paign Of 1904 was shown in the an
nual address of William A. Smyth, Of
the Owego Times, as president Of the
New York State Republican Editorial
association, at the meeting of April
10. Rightly President Smyth admon-
ishes his brother editors Of the grave
and far-reaching consequences Of the
questions to be decided this year;
rightly he warns them that Repub-
lican editors Of the state must be
prepared to do their share Of the
fighting If we are to keep in power
"the party of protection, honest money
and prosperous times" There is no
question of honest money involved in
this years struggle. The Democratic
party will not again overload itself to
the sinking point with any "16 to 1"
foolishness. That issue is dead, for
ever dead. But the issue that is alive
to-day, as much alive as at any pre-
vious period in the country's history,
is protection and prosperous times.
In his address President Smyth said:
"This year, the fifty-four anniver-
sary Of the founding of the Repub-
lican party, promises to be memoir
able one. During the past year, an
off year in politics, there has been
but little work for this association to
do. We are now on the threshold of
a very important campaign, and prob
ably none that have preceded it have
been so important and far-reaching to
