Bic FISH SWALLOW LITTLE FISH

In speaking of the matter of tariff
revision during the next session Of
the Congress, the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Tri-
bune, in writing to that staunch old
Republican paper has said some
things that the public marvel at tho
temerity OF the Republican organ
which prints them, "From an
entirely new and unexpected source"
says the Tribune, "thc President is
assured of hearty support in scaling
certain tariff schedules" The cab
lest managers" of certain protected
industries are now clamoring for
reform. The reason is not as one
might suppose, that they want a
small cut by the "friends Of protec-
ton" IN order to ward off n heavy
slash by the enemies. Thpt kind
of life preserver is not what they are
looking for. No, they think that
protection under the Dinglcy act is
in some cases so high Gas to induce
inordinate competition The re-
suit is that 'large concerns, whose
business is menaced by the contin-
ual organization of small COMPETE
tors are compelled to absorb the
little fellows at extravagant valua-
tions." That is, the tariff is so high
as to defeat its real purpose. The
true aim is to enable the '1arge
concerns" to control the business;
and when they find their supremacy
threatened, they must jugglc the
schedules SO as 10 crush their rivals.
Otherwise, they are actually forced
to "absorb the little fellows at an
cXtravagant valuation. To sub
lect the managers Of a monopoly to
such inconvenience IS an outrage.
BY all means allow them to write
the law 10 suit themselves. That's
the kind of tariff revision this Re.
publican administration would give
the people. What do the people
think OF it2

that it required all our ingenuity

of Governor Dawson's true and

we are really shocked at his dupIi-

should have imposed a TAX on babies

4 CRAWFISH COURT.
From the Falrmoot Times

From the fairmont Times.
The West Virginian has at last
gotten something that makes it real
glad, and we are mighty glad Of il.
II hasn't said a kind word about
anybody if we except the State
Journal, since the Legislature re-
fused to pass the Criminal Court
bill for Marion county, and it has
scowled and snarled until we begun
TO think it would never smile again.
But the Supreme Court decision has
now made it happy. We are will
ling to have all our representations
Of what the court would say, judg-
ing by what it has said in the past
go for naugh. If the Virginian will
only become sane once more. We
didn't think the court would decide
the way il did, but there is never
any telling. The story told on
Judge w. G. Bennett illustrates the
point very we'll Judge Bennett
had been reversed by the Supreme
Court and one Of it's judges hailed
him on the street one day and said,
George, I am awfully sorry the
Supreme court had TO reverse YOU
in that Jones case we heard the
other day" "Oh don't worry about
that Judge Bennett replied, Chat
court will never reverse me any Oft
tencr than it reyerses itself in recent
years"

TEDDY l AND BILL III.

iNuNl lhc nlSt ana halSer blll the
second, are about the only two peas
IN the pod at the present. Teddy
has gotten the two warning nations
together and got them TO agree TO
accept Washington as the place of
meeting for the peace conference,
and his work in this direction has
amazed all the diplomats of the old
world. Why, il was plumb easy.
All he had to do was TO sound the
two scrappers and get them to
assent TO note from him asking
them If they did not think it was
time to go "from labor to refresh.
mcnis," and then send them such a
note asking them to be good little
boys in the interest of peace and
humanity. They were both dead
ready to quit, and only waited for
man to use good old fashioned
brand OF Americanism and straight
torwardness without all the circum-
locution of diplomacy, Teddy did
this and he won out. On the other
hand the Kaiser is raising all sorts
OF Cain over in Europe, and the first
thing he knows he will have strained
the patience of the French nation to
the break ing point and a world war
will be the result. These two men
just now are in the limelight and
one of them is being praised and
the other is being cussed. The dis
tinguishcd President Of the United
States does some things we'll and
again, he does some things that are
humorous. If the comic muse ever
condescends to mere history, she
will find material for humor i'm con.
trasting the attitude of Mr.. Roose-
welt toward the provisional govern
ments of Panama and OF Norway.
Acting Secretary Loomis, we need
hardly recall, inquired solicitously
about the condition of the republic
OF Panama some little time before
the pang Of mock revolution had
brought the bantling commonwealth
N I'll Il a
occasion that the socialists advanced
the theory that MI. Rooseyelt's
dominant quality was celerity. Turn
ing from Panama TO Chrlstiania.
these same plaudits may draw the
profound inference that circum-
stances alter cases, and that even
celerity has its good and bad days.
If ever there was de facto gov
ernment, it is Norway's; she has
parliament in session, an executive
council of ministers, an army and
navy. Moreover, it was known
some days before the resolution de-
posing King Oscar that secession
was as good as accomplished, and
devil cablegram came from
"Loomis Acting" All Of which
seems to point to a culpable negli-
gence in the Norwegians in falling
to keep Washington officially posted
as to the revolution schedule. or
is Mr. Loomis's hesitation due
merely to natural reluctance not
to be caught again by the difference
in time ? Ia any case the comic
muse might do worse than ponder
the cases of Panama and Norway.
