issues and the voters will not be deceived by the familiar "old flag
and appropriation" style of campaigning.
Two issues must predominant. One is the restoration OF home
rule to cities, the other the restoration of representative government.
Thousands of men who in national affairs support Republican policies
and candidates believe the police commissions i'll Providence and
Newport have not been merely utter failures i'll Graduating evil con
ditons but that they have in fact aggravated such conditions. Thou
sands of such men also favor a constitutional convention. There is
one thing that those Republicans should remember and that is that
the Republican leaders can be forced to approve constitutional
reform.
Some who will not admit they are very old can recall the circum-
stances concerning the elimination of the property qualification for
foreign born voters. There were citizens in the Republican ranks at
the time who were as honestly in favor of treating all men who in
tended TO make Rhode Island their home equally, SO far as the sui
frage was concerned. They were told the time was not yet ripe for
such a change. This plan of delay was successful until a Republican
from one of the towns, a man of English birth and of indomitablc
will, rose in a state convention and demanded equal rights for all
The state leaders yielded to the inevitable and the Bourn amend
ment soon after placed the citizen by choice and the citizen by an
accident on equal footing.
Perhaps there may be one Republican in the next state conven-
ton Of sufficient independence to force his party up TO the standard
of progress and political enlightenment that characterize the Repub-
ican party in other states OF the Union.

PLAYING THE GATE.

1t does look as if Col Jerome is playing the game of politics Of
the limit. Some weeks ago an able and clean man was suggested as
the Tammany candidate for district attorney. Col. Jerome had
announced himself as a candidate for district attorney il he could
be assured Of sufficient popular support to make him independent of
any partisan organization. He quickly got the assurances and then
an effort was made to force a nomination for mayor upon him. Col.
Jerome then declared the office Of district attorney is the only one
he would accept. Now it looks as if Tammany will nominate him for
reelection.
AT the next election for governor in New York men who follow
events closely believe party affiliations will count for little and that
a MAJ of the Jerome type will be elected. Jerome can, if he wants
it, have the Democratic nomination for governor whether he is en-
dorsed by the Democratic organization this year or not. To have
opposed Mayor McCennan would have put him out Of enc running.
The Republicans have been too soidly cntrcnchcd AT Albany for
years to follow that careful course that an intelligent electorate
sooner or later demands. OF course the choice Of any one but a
Republican governor will have little if any effect on national politics.

A DESERVED REBUKE.

The rebuke administered to Chief Engineer
Wallace by Secretary Taft fully deserved.
Mr. Wallace applied for the position; he was
then earning $4,000 year and asked thatS his
salary be fixed at $50 900 in view of the factt hat
he had to reside on the sthmus. The govern
ment complied with his request and he went
to work. But before he had time to more than
acquaint himself with his duties he received an
offer from a New York corporation accompanied
by an advance in salary. Without stopping to
consider his obligation to the government or
the embarrassment which his signation would
cause, he Immediately obtained permission to
return to New York ''important personal
business" When he arrived he laid the matter
before Secretary Taft and stated that he felt
that his own financial interests demanded that
he resign Secretary Taft so indignant at
the purely n1ercenary view that Wallace took
of the subject that he demanded his immediate
resignation.
The secretary was right A public official
who at a critical time withdraws from public
work merely because he can make more
money elsewhere is not fit to be an official Mr.
Wallace may accumulate more wealth in his
new position (altho he drawing from the
government half as large salary the presi-
dent and three times much members of
the cabnet) but he will never wipe out the
stain that his greed has put upon his GOOD
name. Even if he had no sense of honor, one
might expect him to show some gratitude for
the raise from 1000 to $25 600, but he seems to
have thought of nothing but money. Good
riddance and may the administration find a
man instead of gold worshipper to take his
place.
And speaking of designations, why could
not the rans-continental roads postpone
indefinitely the building of the canal by briblng
the canal officials with higher salaries? It
was the railroad influence, led by Senator
Hanna, that substituted the Panama route
for the Nicaragua route and it was suspected
! at the time that the chief reason was that the
VOYAGE from New York to San Francisco was
1 200 miles longer by way of Panama, Now if
these same influences take away the ex-
perts employed to conduct the work they can
/ keep up trans continental rates It would be
/ we'll for the president to examine into the
antecedents and corporate connections of those
who apply for responsible positions in the con
struction department of the canal enterprise

business"
"Have you any remedy, any panacea to
suggest? Would federal supervision do, for
example?'
Federal supervision!" replied Mr.. Hill in
disdain "Can the blind lead the blind? Could
any good come out of it with the quack nos
trums furnished by the scores of political dem
ogogues? Only recently we have seen two
scandals which reached the cabinet of the ma
ton, and there were laws to punish Have
there been any puishments? No. The affairs
have been smothered, but thank God, there is
public opinion. That is the great corrective
and punitive agent in this republic Public
opinion, it would seem, Furnishes in this coun-
try and not the law, for there is too much
pull"
"But we are developing our resources our
selves, selling and bartering with each other
at home" was suggested.
"You do not catch the point" replied Mr..
Hill Last year the South raised a bumper
crop of cotton-some say 100000 bales and
others more. The year before was crop
failure, when less than 100000 bales were
raised in tho cotton belt. Yetthe crop gathered
in the failure year netted the Southern printer
$15OOOO,OOO more than the record breaking crop
of 1904 Why is that? Simply because we had
not developed our own markets Asia, with it's
millions of peoples ready to take goods,
particularly the cotton goods, is shnnned and
tabooed to such extent that it is cooperating
against and boycotting American wares.
"Our crops are none to good this year"
continued Mr. Hill. 1--WE will not raise any
bumper crop of wheat l think that if the
West raises more than 6O0OO0,O0O bushels it
will be doing we'll. What does Jones say? II
can rely on him."
Mr. Hill was told that Mr.. Jones, the crop
expert had estimated the wheat crop would be
less than 65O,O0OOOO bushels
II don't think it will be much as that" said
Mr.. Hill. However if we gather 6OOO00,OOO
bushels of wheat and 100000 bale crop oil
cotton we will be doing we'll. Nine and 10 cent
cotton is profitable. The world will buy it
from at those figures"
One Of Mr.. Hills epigrams in showing the
lack of aggressivenoss of American merchants
and manufacturers in entering the world S
trade was as follows:
"The world today is small smaller than the
United States after the Civil War. Telephone,
teegraphs and cable and the railroads have
made it smaller
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1905-07-22

"There is much to say on the general con-
dition of business" said Mr.. Hill There
many favorable elements in the prospect and
sthM more unfavorable features to be reckoned
with in the general estimate. We are in a
period of demagogy which reads pull and
pull in turn promotes graft. There are too
quack political theories which clash with sound
business. We are nation of 100000 people
or more working and developing rich national
resources. [ complain. however, that we are
n'tuk1'ig poor job of it from trade and BUSH
ness point of piew The country is richer tar
than England or Germany, and yet the fruits
of trading are exceedingly small compared with
thew ought to be- 1t is all very we'll to be con-
tent to sway iackknives with another, but
what is that but taking money out of one pocket
and putting it in another? Individual effort is
restrained by political theorists and demagogic
leaders.
1--WE are Ily-dallyng with South Ameri-
can trade and are trying to build the Pana ma
canal What good will come lit? We have
NOT the ships and freight rates to the far East
are against it. We have not the protecting
laws for a merchant marine. /, myself, have
recognized that condition, and shall certainly
never again build ship under the American
flag. Ships be built cheaper abroad and
operated more successfully from a commercial
point Of view under foreign flag
II will not pass judgment Equitable
affairs, continued Mr.. Hill. II will say this
however, that the Insurance business will
shrink and shrink to nothing unless there is
complete change: in other words, an awaken
ing in the methods of doing the insurance
