Taft'S Message to the South.

Secretary Taft told his audience
in North Carolina that it would be
better for the South to have two
political parties and a shade of un-
certainty about which way the elee-
tion was going to result. BY the
same token a Democratic stumper
might tour the North begging peo-
pie to divide up more equally and
give the Democrats some show. In
fact, that is just what the Democrats
do urge. and they make their case
just as good as the Secretary does
his. Northern Republicans hold
their absolute control by dint of
the gerrymander and the power of
patronage, and they are no more
disposed to divide up" than are the
obdurate Democrats of the South.
Northern Democrats are as effectu-
ally disfranchised by gerrymanders
as are Southern negroes by grand
father clauses.
Secretary Taft is one of the few
men in either party who could con-
sistently say what he did at Greens
boro. He is no yellow-dog RepubG-
can. He is the man who beat Her
rick in Ohio. He is no more en-
phatic in his advice 20 Southern
Democrats to break away and get
q new deal, than he was in his
admonition to Ohio Republicans;

turned down. He Is telling the
folks just what has been doing here
the past session, and how everybody

1t would not be so bad for the
Senator to display such shocking
lack of courtesy, if it were not that
a low, Grass, ignoble curiosity of
the public prompts it 10 like the
indecent performance. Unless pub
lie opinion is educated up 70 higher
standards of propriety, TO "a better
conception of the ethics of Senatorial
conduct, there's no telling what may
be happening next. When Senators
fall out and go TO telling on each
other, the public is liable to be filed
with seditious notions that are very
dangerous in the rabble.
1t is time for the stale and shoD-
worn argument TO be brought out
and hurled at the Wisconsin man.

handled that the disappointment at not
seeing more familiar faces on the stage

The play is well known in Washing

John Drew some years ago. The role
of the husband who is subjected to

by Guy Standing. It Is rich in comedy.

enable the actor to give several efec-

The return of Miss Dorothy Hammond
to the Columbia Stock Company after
quite a serious Illness of ten days was
the occasion for an ovation for the ac-
complished actress who has won so
many friends here during the summer
engagement. AS the lachrymose lady Of
the play, Miss Hammoud's impersona-

TUESDAY. JULY 10. 1906.
Mr.. Armstrong; A Speech.

Mr.. Robert Is. Armstrong, whose
claim to fame rests on the fact that
he was the youngest man ever made
an Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
ury, and whose views on business
subjects strongly suggest that he
hasn't got over it yet. has been
making a speech. He is an exceed
ingly wise young man. is Mr.. Arm
strong, and if the fool country
would Just let him take charge Of
things it would be a lots better
place TO live in-for frenzied finan-
ciers, insurance grafters, transpor-
tation monopolists, and packers
trusts.
Mr.. Armstrong is of the opinion
that the American nation is just too
beastly prosperous, and naturally
can be expected to do lot of fool
things. He decries the disposition
to try TO fix things. AS ne views it.,
things are pretty good now. Young
Mr. Armstrong, looking down from
the sublime heights of his thirty
three erudite years, opines that
folks ought to let well enough alone
\ lot of damage has been done to
the meat business of this country
just because some reckless and i'm
practical people wrote things about
it. To Mr.. Armstrong it is incon-
ceivable that anybody should be al
lowed TO interfere with our foreign
meat trade just because the sausage
contains an occasional desiccated
hired man. or the oeef is tubercular,
or the canned goods happens to be
Putrefed.
If Mr.. Armstrong could have his
way a lot of this fool reforming
would be stopped. We gather that
he is a thorough convert to the Baer
trustees of Providence" theory,
with rather firm impression that
ne could do Providence some mighty
useful service as a trustee. and, in
case Providence wanted to take q
vacation, would be glad to take on
the chief responsibility and give an
object lesson in improved admins
tration.
Young Mr.. Armstrong is a fine
product of the Shaw school of stand
patism. The standpatter thinks to-
day the climax of creation: the ne
plus ultra; the ultima thule. He
doesn't want il changed by tomor-
row. because he doesn't think any
change can be other than for the
worse.
Standpatters are useful in the
world. The law requires that rail-
road trains, whose purpose is to
move, be equipped with airbrakes;
and it is an excellent law. The
standpatter is the social airbrake.
As a rule. of course. he has some
what more intelligence than young
Mr.. Armstrong displays. He usual
ly has n vague conception of the
fact that this world is moving faster
than il ever moved before, and that
to stop it entirely might not be
productive of unmixed benefit.
But there are some standPatters
who would not interfere with ''busi-
ness" on any conditions whatever.
These are the kind who need to
wake up and discover that the com
munity is getting some new business
ideals. The sooner business gets
adjusted to them. the better.
