the wheel of politics had made another

Russia and the Peace Conference

Russia reply to the American proposa !,
for second international peace conference

invitation and an Endorsement of the en-
ierprise itself. The fact that Russia de-

initiate against the triumph of American
diplomacy in the case. The fact remains
that the proposition has met on all sides
with prompt acceptance in principle

the conference until the war with Janan

ing. 1t would. onthe contrary, be difficult

Schedules Not Sacred.
From the New York Tribune.


Most of those who now say that revision
has been made unnecessary by the election
frankly admit that in many details the
schedules are faulty; but they say that the
faults must be endured, for an attempt to
remedy them would reopen the whole tariff
question and destroy confidence. Yet they
themselves who invoke the specter Of dis
trust make themselves the chief disturbers
of confidence They suggest that after ALL
needed tariff changes cannot be secured in
moderation and without business disturb
ance from the republicans and that the
readjustment inevitable within few years
will come from enemies Of the protective
system, with all the unsettlement which
that means. 1t is a poor compliment to re-
publican craftsmanship to say that 1t can
not deal with the practical problem of ad-
justing duties to changed conditions Of in
dustry and new needs of revenue without
splitting the party into factions and precipi-
tating business crisis. That Is supposed
to be the failing of the democrats. We do
not believe that the republican party is SO
lacking either in ability or adaptability
Practically every one admits that some tariff
schedules have in seven years been out
grown. They chafe the people and are
bound to become more irritating as time
goes on. A readjustment to fit present con-
ditions would promote the general welfare
remove all reasonable grounds of complaint
and establish reasonable protection more
firmly than ever in the affections of the
people. The devising and carrying out Of
that adjustment. rather than the timid
shrinking from 1t. is the duty and the hope
of the republican party, and 1t should be
the aspiration of republican statesmen.

The Close of the Big Fair.

Today witnesses the close of the great ex-
position at st. Louis commemorative OF the
acquisition by the United States or the
Louisiana Purchase territory. 1t has been
q notable enterprise and unquestionably
productive of much permanent good for this
country 1t has resulted in the assemblage
of great number of people from all parts
OF the world, directly and Indirectly repre-
sentative of all the powers and races. 1t
has furnished the American people with an
object lesson of rare value. demonStra ting

tries as well as their own, and bringing
them In contact with each other and with
foreigners. This contact itself has been an
education.
Whether these great fairs pay" is
question to be answered in varying terms.
according to the point of view. 1t Is unde
nIable that they stimulate trade and help to
organize the commercial forces of the
world. They make for more direct deal
ings for the avoidance of waste. for bet
ter understanding by manufacturers of the
needs and peculiar wishes of wide range
of purchasers They bring the parts of the
world nearer commercially in every way.
Politically, they serve to soften interna
tional asperities, to reduce friction, to
spread knowledge of languages and thus
to cement the countries closer together in
mutual understanding.
AS an entertainment the fair at ST. Louis,
as in the case of those at Chicago and Buff
falo, has individually PAID for itself. 1t
has been diversion and an incentive to
travel. 1t has amused millions and at the
same time accompanied this amusement
with opportunities for study. Much of the
purely entertainment enterprise at st.
Louis has been of an instructive kind
broadening the individual knowledge of the
worlds people and activities.
AS business venture the fair will not
pay. 1t is too early to estimate just how
the books will balance. but the reports in
hand indicate that despite the remarkably
lavish expenditure of money, the receipts
Will come close to the expenses initial and
current. The attendance has not been equal
TO that at Chicago falling short about eight
millions. This. Il is believed, is due to a
lack of local patronage, for the railroads
entering St. Louis report heavier traffic
than during the Chicago exposition period.
This is phenomenon worthy of later study
as bearing upon the best places for locating
these great expostions.

The Tariff and 1908.

The republicans should not permit them
selves to be ratified or discouraged by demo-
cratic leaders or newspapers on the subject
of tariff revision. They are getting advice,
and may expect more, from such sources as
to how they should proceed. A good deal Of
this Is legitimate partisan mischief. Free
trade newspapers are cheering on what they
hope will prove to be serious strife in the
party of protection. knowing that II a split

discussion now In progress between stand
patters and republican revisionists.
The President does well in seeking the
fullest information from the leaders of both
Of the republican factions. The duty of tho
occasion Is republican duty. 1t should be
performed by the republican party. With a
republican in the White House, almost a
two-thirds republican majority In the Sem

patters. Remember how the democrats
went to pieces on the same rock ten years
ago." There is no rock in the channel the
republican revislonists are pointing out.
The party has not been called to power as
the democrats were in 1892, on a platform
denouncing protection and demanding that

everywhere praised protection in the recent
campaign, and are both pledged and in

demand for revision is q tribute to protec-

such an unqualified success there would not

into prosperity and independence.
