One by one the roses fall One by
one our big people and big concerns
which have for years been extending
aid and comfort to the Republicans are
declaring against the stand pat extor-
lions. The Kansas City Times is an
Independent paper owned by Repub-
lican, yet recently under the above cap
ton It expressed itself in this editorial
fashion:
There is general difference between
the American protective tariff and the
tariffs imposed In rival trade countries.
In Europe there Is no attempt to deiude
the people into the belief that high pro-
lection is conducive to the legitimate IN,
terests Of manufacturing and other in-
dustries and necessary to the larger en-
ploymsnt and better pay Of labor. That
II left to the American system Of political
bamboezltng. Over there It is q matter Of
retaliation. Economically tariffs must in
the long run run 30 Ssst BY - tariffs, but
tariffs Is 10 force American concessions,
the preferable basis being either free
trade or low duties rather than high tar
IFS opposed to high tariffs, Certainly the
system now applied in Germany and that
proposed for Great Britain are projected
on the retaliatory basis.
Believers In tariff reform In this coun-
try should not be discouraged by this
European checkmating tendency. It Is q
| remarkable fact that Americans are more
easily touched through what they sell
than through what they buy. Producers
are much more alive to the selling mar
ket than the buying market. When Ger
many advances dpsies on wheat from
Is to 40 cents per bushei, On CORR from 10
to IS cents per buehel and on deur from
9l.65 to a per barrel, and, when Great
Britain proposes like measures. then 1t
becomes the concern Of the general agri-
cultural interests Of the United States to
demand OF the Washington government
such an adjustment Of the tariff, through
reciprocity treaties or by direct revision
Of the tariff law, as Will reuQye the JUS
LITIGATION for this form Of retaliation and
restore or preserve foreign markets for
American products. And this concern Is
now manifesting itself in all the ramifca-
lions Of the agricultural and live stock
business. 1t can no longer be secuted as
a Democratic or free trade partisan
movement. Il 10 sound and necessary,
and congress must sooner Or later give
honest heed to 1t.
Whatever may be the motive thai
prompts revision Of the tariff. the best
result. after all, will be the incidental re-
duction Of the cost of living IN this coun-
this specious argument that Its prosper-
ity is dependent on the high tariff to
keep out foreign competition, This mani
fest Misrepresentation Is the work Of the
agents Of the trusts. which include mer
high In office and many of the leaders Of
the Republican party, but 1t is neverthe.
less q fact that the trusts, having elm
mated competition, have increased the
cost Of living vastly more than they have
added to the income of the wage earners

Personality Of Maxim Gorky

When he was a cabin boy, aged 16,
on a Volga steamer he read The Tenn
pest and "A Midsummer Nights
Dream and was immensely impressed
by them. But as he loved the litera-
ture of England as a whole for it's
sanity and joyousness he rejected
everything tinged with asceticism or
puritan restriction of human JOY.
Thus he could not appreciate Dante or
even Milton, though his failure to I'M
derstand the English poet he attribu-
ted partly to the badness of the Rus
sian translation. Admitting both, he
compared Shelley to the v~aricolored,
glittering Alps and Byron to the men
acing Caucasus. For Bret Harte, for
Kipling and, among humorists, for
Mark Twain he expressed unbounded
love.
But he could not understand the
later Kipling and denounced the ex-
cesses of Imperialism, whether Brit
ish, American or Russian, with vigor-
GUS contempt. The national IDEAL he
said, Should be to be strong, not to be
perpetually proving ones self strong.
Strength is shown in restraint For
revealed religion and in particular
for the religion of state and estab-
lished churches he had no respect"

That Is Beautiful

This is the message which Rev. DR..
Babcock wrote to his church, the
Methodist Episcopal of Milford, N. H.,
when his daughter was lost, and be-
fore her dead body was found in a
field far from home:
81 I'M not Frustrated with grief 1
am in unspeakable sorrow, but it is
not hopeless. My faith takes hold Of
exceeding great and precious prom
ises.' The everlasting arms are I'M
derneath me.
Susie was not my whole life,' but
she was and is a precious child to me,
and she loved her father with an ar
dent and unselish love. She often
said, L want to take care of my papa
It grieved her that he had to do so
much for her.
when she stretched out her hands
toward the pictured face of her pre-
cious mother and cried out, %, God,
take me to my mama!' it was a prayer
that impresses me now more than
when l saw. and heard it. If she
mistook the Souhegan for the Jordan
that rolled between her and her
mother nc n will blame her. l have
no doubt they are reunited.

he looks nervous, anaemic, hunted,
sentimental. The Maxim Gorky whom
| left a week g among the ever
green woods of Bilderlinghof, on the
Baltic coast, is a tall, straight, deep
chested, large-boned man who tow
cred like a giant over the squat Ger
mans and stunted Lettish peasants
who are now struggling for racial do
minion on the Livonian coast. In
features he is as far removed from
the refined, weak-faced intelligents as
from the submissive, apathetic muz-
hik. The forehead is broad, furrowed
deeply when he talks and surmounted
by a mop of dark hair; the eyes gray,
serene, slightly defiant; the nose big,
not unlike Tolstoy's, but even more
shapeless; the big mouth, somewhat
grim, and the jaw. now fringed with a
scanty red-brown beard grown in Jail,
square, massive and resolute. You
feel at once that this is a self-pos-
sessed, masterful man, a man in whom
character is even more remarkable
than intellect.
