The Advancement OF China

a great step forward has been taken
by China. An imperial edict recently
issued in Pekin, announces that the es-
adjustment OF constitutional govern
ment is contemplated. This important
action is the result of the progressive
policy adopted by the Empress Of China
in sending ENJOYS to civilized countries
to study government in all its ramiica-
tons. These ENJOYS seem to have done
their work well. They have observed
intelligently and reported faithfully.
They were al agreed that China's lack
of prosperity is due to the separation
between the officials and the people. and
the lack of cooperation between the cap
ital and the provinces. The officials are
ignorant Of the needs of the people, and
the people do not understand what is
necessary to the safety of the state"
Il is wise ruler who knows and
confesses the shortcomings of his coun-
try, and then seeks TO rectify them. This
is what the Empress of China has done
and is doing With rare sagacity she
diagnoses the vital weakness of the
Chinese nation, and then proceeds to pre-
scribe the remedy. I'VE must extend edu-
cation she says. put the finances in
order, improve the military system, estab-
fish d police organization throughout the
empire. cause the gentry and people &c
thoroughly understand political affairs
and thus by such preparation lay the
foundations OF constitutional govern

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER "A, 1906.
Where to Begin Tariff Revision.

Senator Beveridge is no standpatter.
In a recent address at LoganspoTt. Ind.
ne declared that no arrangement of tariff
schedules Is immortal, and that the only
way to save the country from periodical
tariff revolutions. with their disastrous
effect on business, was to change
schedule when there was general agree
ment that it should be changed, instead
OF waiting until popular opinion demand
ca a wholesale revision.
The Indiana Senator pointed out the
steel schedule as one badly needing re-
vision. This schedule operates TO the
advantage of the big steel companies,
who control the price of steel billets. and
to the disadvantage of small manufac-
turers of steel products using billets as
raw material. For the large producers
of steel billets are also manufacturers
of steel products in competition with
smaller concerns, and they are able to
sell their manufactures at reasonable
prices. while they compel their COMPETE
tors to buy billets at an exorbitant rate.
in word, the big steel producers, under
high tariff protection, have monopolized
the output of raw material upon which
many small industries are dependent, and
so have the latter at their mercy.
with Senator Beveridge's view that
this Is "a situation calling for remedy, The
Herald fully agrees. No tariff schedule
can be held TO promote the general well
fare when it operates to build up "a mo-
nopOly and 20 discourage numerous small
Industries. It is improbable that the
trainers of the present tariff law had any
idea that il would bring about cOndi-
tons so repugnant to American notions
OF a square deal. The organization of
the steel trust and the concentration Of
the steel industry are of later date than
the Dngley tariff law Since the en-
actmeut of that law, as Senator Bever-
fdge remarks. there have been greater
economic changes in this republic than in
the entire period from the close of the
civil war down TO the election OF Nc
Kinley" The trainers Of the tariff law
could not have fOreSecu the precise
course our economic development would
take. and the contention that their work
should stand as the sum Of all tariff wis
dom seems ridiculous in the face of to-
days formidable array of monopolies
some of them owing much of their
monopolistic power TO the protection
from external competition afforded them
BY the high DingIey tariff rates
Our national protective policy which
has undoubtedly been potent factor in
our internal economic progress would
not be imperiled by such tariff revision
as is proposed by Senator Beverage ana
favored by many thoughtful members Of
both parties It would, in fact place
the protective policy upon a firmeI
foundation by making antiquated tariff
schedules more reasonable and Just in
their application, and less open TO crit
icism because of their inequity and il
effects upon certain lines of industrial
enterprise.
Standpatters should stand by and let
the work of revision proceed

Tho President AWAY from Homo.

We are frequently treated 20 dispositions
on what might happen il the President
Of the United States should set foot on
foreign soil We are told that no Presi-
dent has ever left the territory of the
United States during his term OF Office
and there is even "a popular impression
that the Constitution says the President
should stay at home and attend 10 the
business he is paid for doing. The Consti-
tuition IS silent on that subject. but
there is no doubt that several Of our
Presidents have felt that an unwrtten
law compelled them TO avoid visits 10
foreign territory. and to remain on Amer
lean soil.
We are rather glad that President
Roosevelt Is 10 break that unwrltten law.
1t is founded on much too serious con-
ception Of the Importance of the Presi-
Dental office. il Is without analogy in the
practice Of foreign rulers. none of whom

affairs Of state while absent from his

suited IN the removal Of misunderstood
ings and the promotion Of more amicabla
relations. Secretary Roots tour Of South
America and Secretary TafCs mission 20

With anxiety little short of dismay, we

A certain Georgia official lately wired

Our old friend Zadkiel-he who watches
the eternal procession of the stars and
notes the planets as they swing around
the heavenly circle-has once more arisen
upon the horizon This time he looms
up large, with countenance o'erspread
with gloom and his soul filed with dire
full and portentous news. He makes US
quake with fear ana freezes the very
marrow in our bones.
Let us not harrow the serenity Of our
peaceful souls with a repetition of his
dark and dismal tale. Wars and TumOrs
of wars misfortunes everywhere, acct
dents and explosions-aH these and more
are included in his sad catalogue Of catas-
trophies Il does not ease our anxiety to
know that he predicts for Great Britain
alone Surely such tidal wave of mis-
fortune as he anticipates will not con-
fine itself to the narrow shores of the
tight little island. but will sweep across
the broad Atlantic and involve US all
I in awful peril. We see our doom al
ready written on the wall. How can we
/ escape when Mars meets with the opposi-
/ ton of Jupiter, and Uranus is thrice
/ in conjunction and Saturn IS IN the ninth
! degree of Capricornus. The situation
makes the goose flesh rise, and every hair
to stand on end. our blood runs cold
and every muscle quivers Ike an aspen

! II would really seem as if the world
/ had already suffered enough without an
/ other series of misfortunes. We nave
had earthquakes and tidal waves and
volcanic eruptions Even here in Wash

/ serene. we have had to endure more than
our proper share Of official speeches and
other undesirable things Why. then
does Zadkiel come and harass us with
! further tales Of woe Let US rcpudiatt
/ him and all his dismal ilk. He is a
/ false prophet who plays with evil hand
upon our chords Of fear.
/ Despite his dire prediction. then, We
bid our palpitating hearts be still For
the present, at least, things are not as
bad as they might be. We still have q
few pennies in the bank our tailor is
still considerate and kind, the coal dealer
has obligingly filed our cellar bins. and
