Position on the Tariff.

The most important part of the let
ter emphasizes the determination of
the Republican party to ''stand pat" on
the tariff. On this subject it says:
''We stand unequivocally for a protec
tive tariff and we feel that the phe
nomenal Industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not lightly to
be jeopardiZed, for it would be to
the last degree foolish to secure here
and there a small benefit at the cost
Of general business depression. But
whenever q given rate or schedule be-
comes evidently dsadvanta geOus to the
nation because Of the changes which
go ON from year to wear in our condi-
tons, and where it is feasible to
change this rate or schedule without
too much dislOcation of the system,
it will be done: while a general revis-
ion of the rate and schedules will be
undertaken whenever it shall appear
to the sober business sense of our peO-
pie that on the whole the benefits to be
derived from making such changes will
outweigh the disadvantages: that is.
when the revision Will do more good
than harm.

AS to the Trust Question.

Let me add one wcrd of caution.
however. The question of revising the
tariff stands wholly apart from the
question of dealing with the so-caIled
'tTUsts'-that is, with the control Of
monopolies and with the supervision
of great wealth in business, especially
in corporate form. The only way in
which it is possible to deal with those
trusts and BonOpOIies and this great
corporate wealth is by action along the
line Of the laws enacted by the present
congress and its immediate predeces,
sOrs. The cry that the problem can
be met by any changes in the tariff
represents, whether consciously or I'M
consciously, an effort to divert the pub
lie attention from the only method of
taking effective action

BRYAN'S CONSISTENCY.

Many Republican newspapers are
taking undisguised satisfaction in Mr..
Bryan's re-declaration for bi-metal-
lism, believing that course will make
his denomination impossible.
Mr.. Bryan is not asking for nom
nation or an election. He is not
volunteering his opinions nor con-
cealing them. What would be
thought of him were he to announce
that he had become converted to the
single gold standard and convinced
that he was wrong in the position
he took at the standard bearer of his
party in two campaigns?
II would be plain that he either
holds his opinions very lightly. sub
ject to revision without any serious
reason, or that he is trimming to
gain support; either a trifler in SER
ious matters or a demagogue.
Many leaders of the gold stand
ard element. both Democratic and
Republican. have recently announced
that, notwithstanding his views. ad-
verse to their own, on II question that
is not and cannot in this generation
be party issue, he is the safest. best
and most available man for president.
But none of them have changed their
views or expect him to change his
Indeed. If he did so, he would prove
himself unfit to be seriously consider
ed for the position.

CZAR OF THE RATE BILL.

Under the Wanted new law, the
railway rates are fixed by the inter-
state commerce commission. But
who fixes the interstate commerce
commission?
Why, President Roosevelt, of
course. So that, under the rate bill
as passed. the railroad corporations
can no longer make rates to suit
themselves, but can make them what
they please subject to revision by a
commission made up by the presi-
dent. 1t is case of the high pre-
rogative" over again. The presi-
dent and his selfappointed commits
sion may exercise their power in the
interest of the public, or may use 1t
to make the railroad corporations do
as they want them to. 1t is a su-
preme chance for graft. and imag-
inc president like Cleveland over
looking it. We do not believe Roose-
welt is built that way, but Roosevelt
is about the first president since Jack
son without price.
The railroads know, of will know
that the party in power will expect
them to contribute literally to the
campaign fund, and, they will be
likely to do so, just as they and the
banking and insurance corporations
have done before. That is a GER
| tam result OF the passage of the new
law, and the party in power will be
likely to see. In return. that thoy. are
not too severely regulated.
Whether the public will get re-
vision of rates that will do ii any
good is highly problematical. as usu-
al, the Republican party gets the sure
thing and the public takes its chanc-
es.
However. that may be regarded as
an improvement. Without the rate
law, when the railroad corporations
were entirely unchecked, the public
had no chance at all.

NEW NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
WANTED BY DEMOCRATS.

1t is reported that Thomas Taggart
chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee, is repugnant to Mr.
Bryan s choice of fitness for the place
and since charges rejecting upon him
as gambling house proprietor that
he is no longer considered possible
for the high position.
Mr.. Taggert should not wait to be
forced out of the position he holds.
His work in the campaign of 1904
was not nearly so bad as his enemies
represent. He is probably fine gem
tleman and true Democrat. But his
most partial friend could not hold
him up as a successful campaign man
ager.
1t is not given to all men to achieve
success, but in that position one
should either succeed or get out.
Mayor Tom johnson of Cleveland
would be an ideal national chairman
Under his management the campaign
would never be dull. He is resource
full, ingenious. persistent, bold and
perfectly honest. See how he took
the bull by the horns in the recent
municipal traction fight and tore up
the tracks when the corporation en-
deavored to lay its tracks on streets
where it possessed no franchises He
executed the orders for himself, and
that shows the calibre of the man.
With johnson at the head of the
national committee there would be no
failure to make the most of oppor-
tunity. and never a breath of scandal,
as with Taggart.
There is probably no other man in
the country who combines so many
of the qualifications of successful
leadership as Cleveland's fighting
mayor.

NEW STATE CHAIRMAN.

And speaking of change in the
Democratic national chairman. why
not get nearer home and swap off the
perennial Milton Smith for something
new and different
Milton was never so heavy that he
should have been kept as an indespen-
sible. He has managed to remain by
a judicious distribution of railway
passes to state committeeman and be-
cause nobody was especially envious
of his job.
Not bad fellow is our blithe little
chairman, but he is hooked up wrong
in having a law practice made up of
corporations, gamblers, prostitutes
and whiskey-sellers, Those influences
are not congenial to a Democracy
looking for sweetness and light and
an apostle of reform to lead it. But
most of all we want new face at
headquarters.

e. H. KERN ATTACKED.
tween a Cow runcIier and the
Civil Engineer.


E. H. Kern, the well known and
respected engineer of this city and
Ed Young an equally well known but
not SO highly respected COW pucher
OF Plnon Mesa, were the principal act
ors in an exciting one act drama
which was enacted at the Pastime
Cafe last evening.
While peacefully scanning the
menu card at the well known eating
house preparatory to partal0ing of his
evening repast Mr.. Kern was rudely
seized from behind and forced to lend
an ear while the COW puncher poured
fourth out of the yials of his wrath
and gave voice to the pent up griev-
ances of twelve long months.
Mr.. Kern sought to sooth- Young's
rufiied and wounded feelings but
to no avail. The return of a certain
fve spot seemed to be the matter
nearest Young's heart, and the pos
sibility of his not recovering the
same ranked in his breast and form
ed the nucleus around which had
gathered many imaginary wrongs and
grievances.
In vain effort to calm the irate
COW pucher, Kern demonstrated and
expostulated, there was nothing that
appeased the latter except the five
ACtNldllts LAdL Lue DHlN way 10
be rid of such a nuisance was to dig
up the five" Kern did so. Like the
oil upon the troubled waters, it had
the desired effect and the COW punch
er went on his way rejoicing while
Kern wended his way in the direc-
tion of the sheriff's office. Mr.. Kern
swore out warrant against Young
but the latter had departed from the
city before the same was served.
Young had been partaking much
too freely of the cup that warns the
heart and was very loud and abusive
and it is a pity he was not taken in
and punished.
The origin of the trouble was sub
stantially and in affect as follows:
About year ago Kern's advice was
solicited in a matter pertaining to
the numbers of certain land claims on
the mesa. Mr.. Kern, not willing to
commit himself told Young at the
time that it would be a matter of
guess work but that he would do his
best, Young seemed satisfied and paid
Kern $500 on account of some sur
veying which Kern was to do in case
Young made the filing. The numbers
were wrong and no filing was made
and 1t was the recovery of the $500
which so interested Young last night.
Kern objected to being approached
in that way and says he would have
returned the money at once if he had
been approached in the right way.
