MUST ADJUST THE TARIFF.
Fair Reciprocal Trade Treaties with
Europe a Necessity, Says
George N. Foss.

Former Congressman George "
FoSs, a Republican, of Massachusetts,
and a wOuld-be tariff reformer, who
has just returned from a European
tour, in the course of which he made
a special study of the matter, declares
that his travels and observations
strengthened his convictions as to the
pressing need of immediate tariff re-
form and reciprocal trade treaties with
other nations. He sees a dangerous
competitor to the United States in the
shape of Germany, whose commercial
development and prOgressiveness in
general is in keeping with the Won
derful advancement already witnessed
by the twentieth century in various
parts of the globe. Mr.. Foss says:
1--WE are confronted by a condition
in Europe, and we must adjust our
tariff to meet this condition. If we
wait too long, we stand in grave dan
ger Of losing many of our best mar
kets. The stand pat argument will
not avail when the crisis comes, and
there will be a crisis unless we avert
it, just as surely as there Is a great,
progressive country called Germany.
If l were asked to sum up my conclu-
sions, based on my observations
abroad, l would say, first, prepare to
meet maximum and minimum sched-
ules, and, second, prepare to pass re-
ciprOcal trade treaties. The first
preparation should come at once, and
the second by the next congress-"
The Boston Advertiser predicts that
Mr.. Foss will again try for congress
siOnal honOrs in the Eleventh Massa-
chusetts district this fall, making his
campaign on the tariff issue. 1t might
be a good thing to have a man of his
stamp in the lower house, but, if elect
ed, Mr.. Foss will have to turn to the
Democratic party for effective aid in
bringing about such tariff reform as
the ~exigencies of the times clearly de-
mand in the interests of the American
people. He will never find it among
the "stand-patters" or trust agents of
his W party.
The American multi-millionaires in
London are called "multis" for short
also, possibly, because the tar.
ir enables their number to multiply
so rapidly.

There is no doubt that the new law raises the
standard of the commission and in the future men
selected for it will have to be of the highest ability
and integrity. In the past this commission has
at times been regarded as a very convenient place
in which to land some lame duck" or political
has been" who had failed Of reelection to some
other public Office. For some years it had been
considered as a convenient harbOr of refuge for
politicians and was regarded as the Legitimate
patronage of the big political leaders.
This has changed now and with the added re.
sponsibility provided for by the new law men of
the highest grade will have to be selected. 1t is
fortunate that the members of the old commission
of five men are not disturbed, but will go right
along serving out their terms. These five gen
tlemen, or at least four Of them, are men of tried
ability and their work during the past few
months under Snecifc authority of CONGRESS- in tb

MIR. ROOSEVELT A GOOD PARTY MAN.

This will be a busy season for the "spellLind-
ers" Of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet. No secret is
made of the intention of three or four of the
cabinet members actively to engage in this years
congressional campaign. The president feels in
a way that his administration is on trial and he
looks to the people to indOrSe it and particularly
to indorse the policies which congress enacted
into law on his recommendation. The president
despite all that has been said and written about
his reform ideas, is a pretty good party man and
is honest enough to express the hope that a Re-
publican house of representatives will be reflect
ed. He does not object to his cabinet officers
going into the campaign, and it is not improb-
able that he himself will make one or two
speeches of a somewha political character.
Secretary Shaw of the treasury is the best
speaker in the cabinet. There are few

tary of the Treasury Shaw, Senator Foraker Speaker Cannon, Gov. Cummins
of Iowa, Postmaster General CortIyou and one or two others who cannot help
gazing O the Taft boom with considerable envy. The idea that Mr.. Taft will
accept an appointment as associate justice the supreme bench seems 10 have
been abandoned. His opponents in thu presidential ace declare that his
actions an his public speeches demonstrate beyond all question that HI is an
active and aggressive candidate for the presidential nomination. There is
only on thing, they say which might take him out of the rae and that would
be a vacancy in the chief jusuceship of the supreme court. To obtain that
honored place it is believed Mr. Taft would forego all ambition to be pesi-
dent of the United States.
President Roosevelt recently in discussing the outlook for 1908 was
quoted as saying hat Secretary Taft in his opinion was thu only man who
could defeat William j. Bryan, and it looked a though the latter would be

1t is somewhat amusing to note the jealousy
that exists in the little group Of statesmen who
have their political lightning rods elevated to
catch the presidential bolt in 1908. These men
who aspire to the presidency are thoroughly
human and they are watching each other like
hawks. While for public their words
and acts are altogether disinterested, in private
conversation they indulge in some pretty severe
criticisms of each other. There has been great
anxiety among these candidates to find out on
whom the administration favor would rest. The
developments of the past few weeks seem to have
settled that point and now it appears to be the
field against Secretary Taft, for the latter is
looked on here in Washington as President Roose-
velt's choice for the Republican nomination two
years hence.

THE NATIONAL EXPOSITION IDEA.

Congress has become resigned to the national
exposition idea. 1t has gone so deep into these
enterprises in the past that every new proposition
to celebrate some great event by a national ex-
position is pretty certain to meet with support
and favor. Preparations are now under way for
a fair which is to be the celebration of the found
ing of jamestown, the three hundredth anniver-
sary of which will occur next May. Speaker Cam
non, who is of an economical turn Of mind, tried
to check the granting of government aid to this
enterprise, but national expositions are somewhat
in the nature of public buildings when it comes
to getting aid from congress. They are made
part of a log rolling scheme and combinations are
formed that always insure the enterprises being
Endorsed.
