A higher grade can be built with this
than with the ordinary grader in less

THE SIxTIETH CONGRESS-.

The SiXtieth Congress will have 391
and possibly 1893 members. The new
State of Oklahoma is certain to be ad-
mitted and elect five members of the
House. If Arizona and New Mexico
accept joint Statehood there will be two
members from that State. The Repub-
licans have 250 members in the 59th
Congress, or majority of ia To over
turn this majority the Democrats will
have to win So districts now held bv the
Republicans. The Democrats have one
advantage in 100 seats from the South
which will not be contested, because
political contests have not been allowed
IN the South for many years. There is
always a serious handicap on the Re-
publican party because of an unequal
contest in the North where there is A
free ballot and a fair count. This COM
pels the Republicans to carry two-thirds
CT the membership of the House in the
North and West, while the Democrats
have to make fight for only one-third
to secure control of the House of Rem
resentatives. This handicap to the Re-
publicanS should be a reminder to every
voter who believes in the policies of the
present Administration. The endorse
ment of President Roosevelt can only
be secured by the election of Repub-
lican Congress. The election of Dem
ocratic Congress would be a reputation
of the Presidents Administration and
the policies it represents.
The contest has already taken shape.
not only as to policies but as to men.
On the one side is the endorsement of
the Roosevelt Administration, the pres
ent prosperous condition of the country.
and the legislation enacted for rate reg
ulation. On the other side is the repu-
diation Of Republican policies, and rail
way rate regulation, and the advocacy
of the socialstic dogma Of Government
ownership Of railways. There is the
same division as to men. On one side
are Speaker Cannon and members Of
the Presidents cabinet, advocating on
the stump the continuance of present
policies. On the other side is William
Jennings Bryan, opposing these policies
and again advocating Sociahstic doc
trlnes, even more radical than he did in
1896. The issue is with the voters of
the North and West, and they must
elect two Representatives to one Demo-
crat in order that there will be an even
chance to overcome the handicap Of
the Solid South and its 100 Democratic
members without any contest at the
polls

GIVE THE RATE LAW A TRIAL

The weakness for agitation and e.
forts at legislation, without waiting for
the trial Of laws already enacted, was
never more forcibly illustrated than in
the present attitude of Mr.. BRYAN the
peerless leader" Of the Democrats. to-
ward the new rate regulation law. IN
one and the same breath Mr.. Bryan
claims the credit for this new Iegisla-
ton, condemns it to failure. He boasts
that President Roosevelt went to the
Democratic platform for his inspiration,
and at the same time he declares that
no rate legislation can be successful,
and that the Government must take
over the ownership and operation Of all
railroads to settle the vexed question Of
rates. In this inconsistent position Mr..
Bryan illustrates the difference between
agitation and craftsmanship. The agi-
tator is not looking to the peace and
prosperity Of the country so much as he
is looking after his own notoriety. We
have had agitators from the beginning
Of time, and they have been much like
Mr.. Bryan, but they never accomplished
anything for the public good.
This is a Government Of law and not
a government Of men. The law is the
supreme force, and the more stable the
law is The more secure the interests of
the country will be. Legislation is not
the chief aim Of the Government. 1t is
only incidental correct theIaw after
that proves.to be a failure or erroneous.
But Mr.. Bryan seems to think that
when Congress has enacted a law the
purpose of the enactment is complete.
and that q new campaign for a new Law
is in order. He claimes credit for an
idea as soon as it is worked out in leris-
lation. If the idea was good as it an
pears in the Democratic platform, whv
is it not equally good when it appears
in the Statute? Why not try the law?
But Mr.. Bryan abandons the child he
claims as his own, as soon as it reaches
maturity. He has now found new
subject for agitation, and it is not new
even in this country as an agitation.
The Populists and the Socialists arc
several years ahead of Mr.. Bryan in de
handing government ownership of
railroads. These men live and thrive
by agitation, and in what manner does
MIR. Bryan differ from those who have
for ten years demanded Government
ownership under the name of Socialists?
The new rate law is on the Statute
Books, and the President is preparing
for its strict enforcement. Unless
he can do that the law will be SC
much wasted paper. It is a good time
for the agitators to agitate to take a
back seat and wait until the law has
been given a trial
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-10-11

nail squarely on the head when he de-
ciares that the question of revising the
tariff stands wholly apart from the
question OF dealing with the trusts, and
asserts his conviction that the only way
in which it is possible to deal with
trusts, monopolies and great corporate
wealth is by action along the line of the
laws recently enacted by Congress.
The cry that the trusts can be DESTROYED
or regulated by any change in the tar
if, he says, represents either conscious
ly or unconsciously an effort to divert
public attention from the only methods
of taking effective action for the rene
dying of the evil sought to be reached.
The President says the Republican par
ty is willing to stand on its record, past
and present. 1t needs nothing better.
The furure will take care of itself. If
Candidate Spessard has anything stored
away in the dim, but not forgotten past,
which he can present to the voters of
the Sixth Congressional district that
will serve as a record upon which his
party might even venture to stand, he
should hasten to bring it forth. Time
waits for no man.

RAYNER SCOLDS THE PRESIDENT

Once again Senator Rayner, Of Mary
land, has selected President Roosevelt
as target for criticism. He now ac-
cuses the President of an eager desire
to annex Cuba, an ambition which no
one else has been able to detect, be-
cause every action of the administration
has been in harmony with the design of
preventing annexation. Nothing in the
message to President Palma warranted
the deduction made by the Maryland
Senator, and the public is disposed to
regard the Secretary of War as much
more reliable interpreter of presidential
policy than statesman who lets slip
no opportunity to crack a whip in the
direction of the White House.
Odd as it may seem, Mr.. Rayner,
without realizing it, is probably thor
oughly in harmony with the admins
tratiOn on the Cuban question. He says
that he is opposed to the annexation of
Cuba under all circumstances, unless
the requirements of civilization and hu-
mainly absolutely demand it" That is
beyond all doubt exactly the view that
Mr.. Roosevelt takes of the situation.
No step has been taken, no word
uttered and no sign given to the con-
trary. On the other hand, every move
ment made indicates that the admins
tration thinks that annexation would
not be desirable Senator Beveridge
holds no commission to speak in behalf
Of the Chief Executive. His views are
his own, and he seems to have little
company in adherence to them. Neither
he nor Mr. Rayner is the custodian of
the views Of the President.
Many Democrats are disappointed be-
cause the administration has acted with
so much sagacity, tolerance, honor and
success in the present emergency. They
had secretly wished to witness a blunder-
ing course that would have helped their
party at the polls. No one besides Mr..
Rayner has, however, had the hardihood
to attribute to Mr.. Roosevelt aims that
are dramatically opposite to those he
has at least indirectly revealed.
The allusion to election of Republicans
by methods as rotten as those which
prevail in Cuba is a remarkable instance
of the rashness of starting lombard
ment from the ramparts of a glass
house. 1t comes with i'll grace from a
Maryland Democrat, conversant with
the unsavory political history of his
state in the past several years, to talk
about 'rottenness at elections" When
a Democrat now in Congress owes his
to She practice Of deceitfully folding
ballots, when a law Of Democratic ori-
gin permits many sports of trick to be
played with the type in printing the
names Of candidates in certain counties,
and when partisan advantage is taken
Of party supremacy at the polling booth
at every turn, the Democrat who raises
the cry rotten elections has courage
that amounts to affrontry.

I'd there is no subject upon which he
mas devoted more time and thought than
that of the tariff. This reference to
President Roosevelt, in this connection,
is called forth by the claims Of Mr..
Harvey R. Spessard, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Sixth
district off Maryland, that there should
be revision Of the tariff laws. Just
why the present tariff should be
changed, Mr.. Spessard does not state,
but we presume 1t is because it was
made plank in the Hagerstown reso-
lutions. Mr.. Bryan has sounded the
keynote and therefore tariff reform has
necessarily become an issue. The coun-
try is waiting patiently for Mr.. BRYAN
to give his reasons why the wisest and
best tariff law this nation has ever had
should be changed. Candidate Spes-
sard will hardly essay to take the lead
of Mr.. Bryan in so important a matter.
