 If the question of revision of the tariff by William H. Taft or a revis- ion of the tariff by William J. Bryan were submitted to the American peo- pie, can there be the slightest doubt as to how they would decide?-New York World

 Uncle Joe Cannon throws into the political sea pretty wide drag net on the railroad question. He tells the country, through a speech delivered yesterday, that he favors both reg ulation and protection of the rail roads.-Richmond News-Leader.
 Gov Hoch doesn't so much mind be- ing roasted by the railroad attorneys, but being rolled down an embank- ment in sleeper and scratched with broken glass is carrying railroad re- sentiment too far. There is nothing like that in Nebraska-Kansas City Journal
 As the eastern papers size the case up, it is hard to tell whether Judge Lindsey or Gov Buchtel has made the greater chump of himself and for once the eastern papers have pronounced correct judgment on a Colorado poli- tical matter.-Colorado Springs Gazette
 William Waldorf Astor is a tory. James Bryce is a liberal. Of course all this has nothing to do with the demand made by the Pall Mall Gazette, MT Astor's paper, that the British ambassador make a fuss over the riots against Hindus at Bell ingham.-New York Evening Sun.
 Secretary Taft has demonstrated his fitness to succeed Roosevelt As a partof the administration, he has been in thorough accord with it's poli- cies, and indeed has counselled many of them. The longer he is in the public eye the more appreciative the people are of his courage, his loyalty and his devotion to duty. Gov Hughes understands the situation and he knows, too, that the American peo- pie are not oblivious to the man in the ranks who serves them well. And Gov Hughes is comparatively young man.-Toledo Blade.

The evidence that the republican
 leaders in congress have all been tied
 up in the policy of protecting the steel trust and other tariff protected trusts, is overwhelming, otherwise they would select a speaker who would, at least, appoint ways and means committee which would con- sider tariff revision. It is also as certain as anything in the future can be that the republican leaders will re- elect Speaker Cannon. knowing that he will again prevent tariff recolSid- eration and that President Roosevelt will endorse that selection by making no recommendation to congress for tariff reform and must, therefore, also be numbered amongst the standpdt- ters. Thus the gigantic steel trust has the American people by the throat. says one writer. and their representa-. lives and their president look calmly on while their pockets are picked by that enterprising corporation and the other tariff protected trusts. The republican plan of hauling a trust into court and charging up a gigantic fine against 1t is spectacular. but even if the trust eventually has 10 pay the fine. the consumers of its products have to pay it in the end. as long as the trust is protected from competi- ton by the tariff.

 The support of the Sullivans in movement of this kind means much to Chanler. Big Tim as he is famil- iarly called in New York. is known in every town in New York state by the boys who do the politics. When Big Tim puts bis imprimatur on a states man they know he Is a live one. The situation in New York requires live one now. and the politicians look upon Chanler as a drowning man looks upon a life preserver. They sec in him the hope. long deferred. of oiice

lusitania's Owners Say Vessel Will
 Soon outspeed Anything AfIoat.
 New York, Sept. Awhile the Lusi- tania, the giant steamship of the Gu nard line, did not break all records of speed per hour or per day, she did re- duce. the time from continent to conti- nent by more than six hours, having come in days and 54 minutes from Queenstown. Her owners are confi- dent that before long she will outspeed anything af1oat. Fog. they assert, de- tained the turbiner, and she was not speeded to her limit.
 But her speed capacity, they main- tain. was shown not so much by her achievement as by her promise. Her machinery and crew all still new. No liner makes record on her maiden trip. For a short distance along the Irish coast, however, the new wonder ran more than twenty-five knots per hour, and all who crossed in her are convinced that some day she will keep up that gait from shore to shore.

Candidate Sewell says he is ready to meet Mayor Thoms and the demo- cratic party on any issue it may bring up. He seems to be lacking an issue himself when he drags in old and wished to be forgotten sores. And, from the tone of his saying, he is ready to betray professional secrets if necessary to win victory. If, as Chairman Hall said, this is going to be a square deal campaign, let it be one, and let an issue be raised that is worthy of both parties.

THIRTY KNOT LINER
HarIand & Wolff Promise to Build.
 Ocean Record Breaker.
WILL HAVE TRIPLE SCREWS.
Now Steamship Is to Be Equipped With Both Expansion and Turbine Engines-New Method of Propulsion Will Be Tested Next Spring.

New York, Sept. 14.-The Times pub. fishes an authorized statement from the Right Hon. A. NJ. Carlisle, manag- ing director of the Harland & Wolff Shipbuilding company of Belfast, an nOuncing that his company has def nitely decided to undertake the con. struction of a steamship designed for the transatlantic service and to cross the ocean at a speed of 30 knots an hour.
 This vessel" said Mir. Carlisle. ''is to be steamship of about 14.000 tons register and about 5S0 feet in length. She is to have triple screws. two fixed as they are at present on twin screw vessels. the third in the rudder cavity as in the ordinary single screw vessel. The two outside screws are to be driven with quadruple expansion en- zines of the Harland & Wolff balanced type and working up to a pressure of about 22O pounds to the square inch. The central screw will be operated by a turbine engine.
 Tn a few years time steam propul- sion may be a thing of the past. But as matters rest today there is much scope for further development. With judicious combination of turbine and compensating engines the construction of vessel that can cross the Atlantic at 90 knots an hour is easily practica- ble. At any rate we mean to demon strate it with one of the nine new liners which we gre to build for the transatlantic service"
 Thirty Knot Ship No Wonder.
 These nine ships are to be built for the International Mercantile Marine company. Two are already laid down in the Belfast yards. and the first of these. for the Canadian trade, will be launched next spring. It is on this ship that the new method of propul- sion will be tested
 The idea. Mr. Carlisle added. was not exactly new. Lord Pirrie. bead of the Harlsnd & wolf company. had enter tained it for some time Asked how Ii developed. Mir Carlisle said:
 It took shape while Lord Pirrie was on board the Lusitsnia in the new leviathan Cunarder's trip around Ire land We were invited. Lord PirTie and I. to join the party. The whole matter was discussed with MeSsrs. John Brown & Co.'S representatives. who are now our working partners. @ to speak After all. there Is really nothing very sxtrsordinsry h the sug- Eestioa of thirty knot turbine liner Such boat can be built just as easily as destroyer of equal speed but I am i1clinsd to think the latest type of ascilsttng engine.

killed by anything short of super
human agency.
In 1847, while DIR. Whitman and his
family were camped with the Cayuses
and just beginning to have sumo sue
cess toward overcoming their preju
dices and gaining their friendship,
an epidemic of measles broke out in
the tribe.
Dr. Whitman and his wife did what
they could for the suffering Indians
The doctor prescribed for them out
of his store Of medicines, and would
have checked the disease in all prob
ability had not the jealousies of the
Indian medicine men, coupled witt
the customs of the Indians them
selves, persuaded the sufferers to try
the wonders of the sweat cure.
1t seemed a good idea to the Indiar
mind. II the white medicine mans
prescription was good, the Indian med
icine mans remedy would help i
out.
AS result of this reasoning, hun
dreds of the stricken Indians took the
sweathouse course of treatment ant
were fished out of the pool dead as ;
result of the sudden disappearance o
the measles.
! This plague of death visited on thu
tribe was placed to the account o
DR.. Whitman, and he was accused o
having given the Indians poison whel
he pretended to give them medicine
Partly, largely in fact, on this accoun
the massacre was planned and carried
out. 1t is a fact, therefore, that thu
Indian sweathouse was the indirec
cause of the Whitman massacre.
