Mr., Williams Tariff Speech.

The value of Mr. Williams tariff talk is
in it's relation to the congressional cam
paigns He has sounded the keynote of the
democratic appeal for control of the next
House. That control, it is true, would not
insure an immediate revision of thu Dingley
schedules, for the Senate would bar the
way, but it would inevitably make the
tariff issue paramount in 1908, and force the
standpatters to some definite expression as
to revision time 1t would put an end to
their reply of ''manana-" First and last,
we are making progress toward revision.
Even little discussion shows the necessity.
and full discussion would put the opposition
completely out Of business. Protection,
which is so good thing when properly ap-
Piled. cannot much longer be, as in num-
Der of things now, improperly applied.

The Tillman Bill.

The Tillman bill prohibiting campaign
contributions by corporations should pass.
AS amended by the Senate committee on
privileges and elections 1t covers the ground.
and as law should work for good.
The object is twofold. In the first place
the desire is 10 keep corporations out of
politics and thereby prevent the sale of leg
islaton Corporations have not taken part
In politics for their health. or for pure love
OF the game. Mr. Havemeyer OF the Sugar
Trust told the Senate something of interest
the subject dozen years ago. and only
last fall Mr.. Platt Of New York, who rs a
party manager had received campaign
money from Insurance companies. made ad-
missions which were very illuminating.
What q corporation lacks in soul It makes
up In shTewdness and intelligence, and
where its name appears on political sub
scription List a bit of selhshness Is certain
TO be involved
The second aim of the bill is to reduce the
amount OF money used in elections. I'm
doubtedly the sum has been increasing OF
late years until It mounts up into dangerous
figures. The majority of the people are not
for sale But there are machine politicians
on both sides whose only idea of campaign
ing is money. and whose methods of pro-
cedure are based upon the proposition that
every voter has his price. They are the
men responsible for whatever denoraliza-
ton exists and It Is their power which needs
curtailnent. The less money they are able
to raise the less their pernicious influence
will be in evidence before election and after,
and the better tho state OF the political
health
This evil. however. will not be eradicated
simply by putting the corporations out or
politics. BY far too much money VIII be
obtainable from other sources. and the In
dustry In collecting II may be quickened by
this legislation. What the corporations have
been giving viii have to be obtained else
where II II can be: and the effort, we may
Re sure VIII be made.
Still. the one item OF cutting OF the sale
OF legislation outright Justifes the measure,
and should serve to hurry 1t through Con-
aress. Let US have no more sugar ta-iif
p,fredules bought outright from Congress,
Sr insurance legislation forwarded or re-
Dlrded at state capitals by men paid for the
Dork by insurance companies

lty. They must have seen that to separate
the schools from the Commissioners In the
MATTER of the appointment of trustees would
detach them In all matters of management
The Commissioners could not logically or
effectively exercise any control whatever
over the annual estimates, or have the leaSs
to do with the general policy of school gov
srnrnent. They could not SIT as hnal court
of appeal from the board OF education
Every detail rising beyond the immediate
powers of the board would necessarily De
thrust upon the Judges. already burdeneo
with their duties and out OF touch with the
considerations which AFFECT the relationship
IT the citizens and the educational system
The principle upon which the House acted
thus hastily and indiscreetiy Is vicious IN its
frst aspect 1t makes for scattering OF
municipal responsibility. instead Of cencen-
tration. In general. II tends to weaken the
efficiency of the District government by d.
viding the duties of those charged with the
supervisory handling of the Administrations
Specifically. 1t proposes to scatter the uiti-
mate responsibility for school management,
vesting the final power, short OF Congress,
In six men instead Of as at present In three
men. With the judges appointing the trus-
tees 1t would be impossible TO focus public
sentiment in behalf of candidate or
against an incumbent in such manner as
to secure results.
Viewed as a measure of school reform the
House proposition is emphatically TO be con-
demned as tending toward the increase OF
such conditions as may now in the minds OK
the citizens require correction. Viewed as
a measure Of District government organiza-
ton it is dangerous in that 1t is step
toward disintegration and diffusion. toward
confusion and collapse.

What VIII the Senate Dof

The Senate wifi next week sit as jury
IN the case of the people VS. B. F. Barnes.
the latter accused of improperly in the
conduct of a public office. Mr.. Barnes Is
presented TO the court by the Senate COM
mittee on post offices and post roads as
entitled to a verdict of acQuittal. on the
strength of certain so-caled evidence tend
ing to show that he did not. as alleged, act
brutality toward a woman caller at the
White House, and that he did not, as
charged, pervert the facts when he at
tempted to explain the affair in public
statement This evidence. 1t Is well known
to the public. is in truth no more than the
testimony of only a selected number OF
those who Witnessed the Occurrences. Pur-
porting to be all that there Is to be had. 1t
does not actually include all that the COM
mittee could have secured had it formally
and with proper authority-easiiy to be OBJ
taiued IL desired-sought the testimony or
those who saw the assault upon Mrs. Nor
ris and whose versions differ materially
from that embraced in Mr.. Barnes ex parte
statement In self-defense.
Thus the committee seeks to send the case
to trial with a partisan, incomplete ana
misleading presentation of the facts and the
unwarranted injection OF new matters re-
fecting upon the mental soundness OF the
victim of Mr.. Barnes alleged misconduct
Furthermore. the committee, in its confiden-
tial print of the so-called evidence, at
tempts to convey the impression that 1t has
exhausted the field of possible information
bearing upon the case. 1t has not only shut
its ears to all that It has not desired to
hear, but it reports to the Senate that 1t
has heard all that could possibly be heard.
1t is to be hoped that by Monday after
noon the Senate will have awakened to the
fact that 1t is not being served by its com
mittee with the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. One of its own mem
bers has offered the charges and has asked
that they be investigated. That investigation
has been refused, and yet the committee lays
the case before the Senate in the guse OF
. thoroughly ventilated and examined epi-
sode, with the conclusion that the charges
are unsustained If the Senate is not de-
terrnined to follow the lead of the commit
tee and blindly adopt the partisan attitude
of that subordinate body 1t must. in the
plainest reason and out of regard for its
dignity and self-respect, reject the report
of the committee and either order thor
ough investigation or itself sit as court
of inquiry to ascertain the facts which the
committee has refused to seek and lay bare
1t must not be argued in justification OF
further ostrich-like refusal to look for and
at the facts that this is not sufficiently
important case to waste the Senate's time
in examining. 1t is vitality important, not
only to the people OF Washington, over
whose postal administration the nominee on
trial is booked to preside, but to the whole
country II an unfit man can be white
washed and railroaded into this office he can
be similarly rushed into any other office,
through the sheer force of executive desire
and senatorial acQuiescence.

Passing Of the Drum.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The French army has just given UP the
drum. That was a sacrifice from the stand
point Of sentiment, but what really good
purpose did 1t serve? 1t is an awkward
thing to transport and easily broken. IL

keep step without its assistance 1t Is only
within the last few years that the suicidal
fooIishness Of wearing bright uniforms in
actual warfare was recognized. The folly
of this was borne in upon England during
the Boer war. The men of the Transvaal
were fine long-distanee marksmen and they
put many of the most lordly mansions oil
Britain in mourning. There remains still
another useless military incumbrance-the
ulcers sword. 1t interferes with his move
