POLITICAL INNOVATION.
Action of the Chicago Democrats
 Toward President Roosevelt.

Action of the Chicago Democrats
 Toward President RooseveIt.
 The acceptance by President Roose- welt of the invitation of the Iroquois club to their banquet at Chicago Is an innovation in political matters The extraordinary part Of the proceedings was the fact that the largest Demo cratic club in the country with blsi- ness men for members should have in- dorsec the presidents declared intsn- tion of recommending to congress leg 1slation for control of railroad rates and the offer to sustain him politically in so doing.
 These Chicago Demerats evidently believe the Republican, majority VII desert the president onsfke railroad tg- sue. and hence their 0Ber of assisf5 sncs.

 But there Is also the serious charge of extravagant appropriations to be met by the Republicans. Knowing the public income was failing of. they have still continued to increase appro- priatlons until what was in 1896 less than S3O0.0O0,0O0 is now over $500 100000. without figuring the cost Of the postal service
 The most shallow business mind knows that expenditures cannot exceed Income unless the Income Is increased by borrowing or drawing on savings The lafter'is what Uncle sam has been doing. but ne is now near the end of his string. He must either economize or borrow or increase the taxes. There are two ways of dncreaslng taxation first, by imposing more internal rev enue taxes. or bt reducing duties on goods that eomPs ste with trust made products and so increase foreign i'm Ifortatlons And he duty paid on this increase would Eeplenish the fund in 9he treasury.
 kThis Is the fiaancial issue that toe Republicans face iand must meet when Congress convenes. The Democrats Nave warned them every session that this would soon be the result, that high BrotectIon and extravaganza would not go hand in hand for long without disas- ter. .

PROTECTION IS hosaERY.
Repubifcan Proof That the frusts
 Charge Two Prices

tharHc TWO a-fACea-
 When the last Democratic national convention declared that protection is robbery" ali the Republican organs were shocked and grieved or angered according to their mood During the campaign. when the Democratic news papers and orators gave instances of how the people were being robbed under the protection system. similar howls of disapproval camss from the same quarter. and even ss specific instances that the trusts were charg ing higher prices to our own people than to foreigners abroad Were de nounced as fabrlcations. bar were never dlsproved SN .s
 Now comes the Panama canRG r0n- mission. with the approval of Pzesi. dent Roosevelt declaring that. the ships. steel rails. freight cars ana ali manner of supplies required in.:the construction of the canal will be par chased abroad unless our domesflc trusts mees the price offered by the foreign manufacturer This proof that the trusts have two price iists. one for domestic use and one for e3- port. has thrown the stand patters if- 10 its from which they will hardly recover. The frank announcement that the trusts are charging our own people from 30 to GO per cent more than they charge the people Of foreign countries for their products and that Uncle Sam. 10 protect himself from being robbed by the trusts has to pur- chase supplies abroad. will open peO- ple's eyes to the enormity of the Re publican system that allows corpora tions to rob them
 The farmers. laborlng man and the business man. for that matter. thus have official information that the pro sective tariff. which the Republican party has always declared was enact ed for their benefit. has been really, sa plan for the trusts to legally robLait who buy trust products. The Deff1o cratic declaration that protection is. robbery" Is thus verified.
 The voter that casts his ballot for q candidate for congress that has not publicly pror.ised to vote to revise rhe tarif will be voting to rob him self of about an average of go per cent of ali he buys that is enumer ated in the tarifr schedules. and what ever beyond that the trusts find he will stand.

NEW YORK POLITICS
 THEME OF CAUCUS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT CALLS IN HIGGINS, ROOT AND CORTEL- YOU TO TALK OVER RESULTS OF REGENT DISCLOSURES.

Washington, November Ex-Governor Frank Higgins of New York was dinner guest tonight of President Roosevelt at the White House. Invited to meet and dine with the governor were Secretary of State Root and Postmaster General Cor telyou.
 The conference, admittedly important. began at the dinner table, and continued until late hour. The President invited Governor Higgins to come to Washington to discuss with him the New York politi- cal situation. The whole subject was con sidered with special reference to the dis closures made before the insurance in- vestigating committee, but details of the conference were not made public.
 President Roosevelt is naturally deeply interested in the situation in his own state, as are the three participants in the conference. He let 1t be understood. however that he is not directing the af- fairs of his party in the state, but as he has some important appointments to make fin New York he desires to have all possible light thrown on the situation there. The evidence taken at the insur- ance inquiry has involved several poll ticians and that subject was discussed thoroughly at the conference. What, if any, definite conclusions were reached could not be ascertained. The President declined to discuss the subject, and the other parties to the conference were equally as reticent.
 The conference ended shortly after Il o'clock tonight and Governor Higgins made the following statement fin response to inquiries from newspaper men:
 ''The subject of chairman of the Repub- lican county committee of New York was discussed. The president made the following statement:
 1T am very solicitious about the politi- cal conditions in New York. He said that he was not for or against any par ticular man and does not propose to in- terfere in the selection of a chairman of the county committee. but Is anxious that whoever Is selected will be man of the highest character and reputation.
 That is the only report. gentlemen, I am authorized to make in relation to the conference tonight"
 Governor Higgins declined to enter into any discussion affecting former Governor Odel and his continued leadership of the party in New York. Governor Higgins left at midnight on his return to Albany.

 STANDS BY LETTER
BRAZILIAN AMBASSADOR THINKS HE WAS RIGHT IN ISSUING LET TERTo NEW YORK LIFE POLICY HOLDERS.

New York, NO ember 2o..-David E. Ihompson. American ambassador to Brazil, and Judge W. L. Penfield, solicitor of the state department arrived here to- day on the steamship Tennyson. MT. Thompson was asked by the Associated Press what significance there was in his return to this country at this time. He replied that there was no significance whatever in his return and continued:
 T have been away somewhat more than year now and I have come home on leave to look after my personal affairs"
 MT. Thompson was asked if he returned to answer any charges brought against him, and as he strengthened up sudden ly, he asked:
 Charges for what? Why it's absurd. I know of no charges
 MT. Thompson was shown a copy of a letter he is reported to have issued to policyholders of the New York Life Insur- ance company in Brazil. He read it over. and said:
 .Yes, did write this letter, and see no harm in 1t. The situation is just this: These policyholders of the New York Life, and there are good many of them, were stirred up by reports that had reached that country. They came to me clamorng and they wrote to me asking me if could not do something to allay their fears. Now I know and everybody else knows, that any policyholder Is perfect ly safe. do not say that there has been no wrong done, but I was the American representative. and this clamor was against an American enterprise, and think and felt then that 1t was my duty to salve the feelings of these policyhold- CTS. You cannot put this too strong for me. I have received no communication or criticism from the state department on the matter, and do not see anything to criticize"
 Judge Penfed who came on the same ship with MT. Thompson returns from mission to the South American coun- tries on the Atlantic coast where he went to investigate trade conditions, and se- cure information whereby some means might be devised to divert to this coun- try some of the trade that goes to Flu ropean countries.

Kansas City, November 2o-Secretary of War William H. Taft who was the guest of honor here tonight at the an- said in responding to the toast "The Philippines:
 'The Philippine islands are ours and must be ours for more than genera tion. It is quite probable that those called upon to act as legislators will not live to see the day when separation consist ent with the welfare of the Philippines can be made.'
 The occasion of the banquet was the anniversary of the signing of the John Jay Commercial treaty. Plaits were laid for six hundred, and the capacity of the ballroom at the Midland hotel was taxed to it's utmost.

Thousands of persons greeted Secretary Taft during the day and everywhere he was given the most enthusiastic recep- ton. Immediately after the dinner, he left for Chicago on a special train on the Chicago and Alton. At the banquet to- nigAt Senator Warner was toastmaster.
