President Rooscvelt's 5 speech at
Indianapolis last Thursday is note
worthy of nothing more than that
he evinces no disposition to turn
back from the policy towards the
railroads he had previously out
lined. He is for direct federal
control of all railroads, but against
government ownership of the
roads. He takes what is terminal
ed AS Il conservative stand in pro
t9ctlng the vested capital from the
coniiscutory schemes OF the $50
cia'lsts and the anarchists. Just
why the President has put these
two elements in the same category
he does not illuminate. His utter
anceS, however, are well grounded
upon the conditions as thev have
progressed to the present day. He
goes rs far as he can towards a
radical movement to give the peo-
pic more power over the great
public utilities and still ron,ain
within the bounds Of "coDseryat-
ism" What is conservative in
huosevcit today a decade AGO
would have been held to be outright
socialism,: aud what he holds to be
radical socialism today Il decade
hence may be looked upon as OK
tremc conservatism. We are sim
ply progressing and the President;
indicates that he is keeping ahrest
with tho fines without wishing TO
ontstep them. Federal control Of
railroads will point the way to fed
eral control Of other public utili-
ties and great industries upon
which the well being of the nation
lies. Another step forward means
their absorption by the people for
the people. Unless American in
,el!igencc stands still (an inposSi
hlhty) the linai result j. rs incri
table as human progress. Roose-
vcilism is but Il milestone on the
way to the goal. His speeches
only mark time t. the forward step
of tolllng masses, surging onward
re!cntlessly oyer individual rights
and interests to their release from
the slavery of capitalism.

to this questiuu-is the farmer
getting that money back through

duets? Anyone who can remember
back rs far as ten or twelve years
ago. when our Democratic friend 5
undertook to do a little tariff legis-
Iation, that all farm products were
fully 100 per cent lower than they
are today. A horse that could be
bought ten years ago for $50 now
brings 1926 to $50; mules the
same, cattle likewise, hogs also.

the small cost to the farmer OF 1872

makes it back Two or three times
over. Are our farmer friends 60
ing to bite at that tariff reform
bait again: Nit: they've been
through the mill. In the protec-
tive tariff the farmers have 2 whole
flock of geese laying them golden
eggs every day. Andthey don't pro-

Bryan says lis no use for him &c
make Democratic partisan speech
because when he does it will only
be few days until President
Roosevelt gets up and says the
same thing as being Il Republican
policy. There is two ways of look
ing ut this thing. 1t may bethat
Bryan's ideas have Il Republican
tendency while he thinks tbey are
Democratic. Bryan like Roosevelt
keep their policies well up with the
times. If Bryan, as he remarks,
gets his views stated first, it must
bu remembered that his vocal mech
anism is always under high pres
sure, and pops off under every
touch of public feeling, We notice
there is II general disposition on
part of the Democrats to lay claim
to credit for the successful admin
istration of RDosevei, on the
grounds that the latter has stolen
Democratic policies. We might
remark here that If Roosevelt )
administration had been failure
our Democratic friends would
hardly be laying claims to their
share of the responsibility. 1t is
Il happy condition that bring, Re-
pubiicuns and Democrats together
on similar ground, it shows that
the latter are no, beyond hope.

main in the republican party and
fight protection. or damn it with
faint praise, they greatly mistake
their choice of ground. Beyond
any possible doubt, the next
national republican platform will
be for protection as erphatica,Iy
as ever. What was promised IN
1926 is fulfilled in 1907. When
congress met in special session IN
1897 TIE country returned to pro
lection under the leadership of
Mckinley, .DingIey and Reed.
These statesmen said the new law
would bring prosperity, and the
pledge has been redeemed most
amply. The Dinglcy law has pro
motec industry. advanced wages
and produced abundant revenue.
1t continues t. do this work.
Yet the democratic party proposes
to tear it down at the first oppor-
tuniiv. This action would be IN
line with that partys traditions
and its lack of administrative Sue
cess. Bul the other rcvlsionists
thus far have failed to make .ileir
purposes clear beyond the TACT
that they are harping on a change
of schedules without saying Il word
in behalf Of protection IL ii fixed
and necessary policy.
Another point to be noted about
revisinnists is that they talk in
vague gencraIiza,ions. They want
some of the schedules changed.
but mention none, and except none
specifically. During the last big
coal strike il was claimed by lead
ing democrats in congress ihHt the
duty on cna!, if removed. wouid
relieve the situation. The duty
was accordingly suspended for
more than a year, hnt the price Of
coal WAS not abatc,i on that ac-
connt. When the duty on coal
went off, foreign shippers marked
up their rates correSpondIngly.
Consumers derived no benefit
whatever from the revised scEe
duIe. Revision is a shadowy word,
and shadows are II dangerous in
gredicnt for practlca! business.
