one Cause of High Prices.

FT0m the New York Evening Post.
1t may be treason TO say il, but the
fact seems to be that in the English
market, which is open 10 the COMPETE
ton of the world, prices cannot advance
so rapidly as in our own favored land
Of tariffs and trusts. Our present method
of manufacturing prosperity is to have
the Federal government through the
Dingley tariff. bind the consumer hand
and foot. and then invite the trusts to
rifle the victims pockets, not overlook
ing his scarf pin and other valuables
Meanwhile, our President extols the
square deal, and proves to you that there
is no possible connection between the
tariff and the trusts The result is pros
perty-for the trusts and the campaign
committee-but the process is undeuiably
expensive.

is at least a receptive candidate for the

who aspires to lead a great tariff fight in

A SOUTHERN VIEW.
If Roosevelt Does His Duty People
WIFE Ask No Questions.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
But whether the President did or did
not ask Mr.. Hartman TO raise such a
fund prior to his election-and he emphat-
icaly asserts that he did not-is of little
concern to the public now. The people
are fully aware Of the straightforward
and outspokeu part President Roosevelt
has played in bringing about that read
justment of public conscience which
makes these very things next to impossi-
bic to-day. Nothing. therefore, which
may be said solely to discredit him be-
cause of his announced policies in the
interests of the people along other lines
viii have any weight as long as he keeps
at that c0mmendable work.
What the people are most anxious about
to-day is not what Mr.. Roosevelt did be-
fore he was elected President, but what
he is going to do to enforce recognition
Of the rights of the people. If he meets
that duty squarely, IS it is hoped and
believed he will, and solves the problem
satisfactorily. there will be no questions
asked about any alleged conference with
Mr.. Hartman before he was elected.

An improvements.

From the Boston Herald
They go at the thing in very simple
fashion in Texas. There is a two-cent-a-
mile bin before the legislature there and
the railroads meet it with an offer to
spend $l5.00e,o00 in extensions and improve
ments within the next fourteen months
if the bill is defeated. If the bill passes
the projects viii be indefinitely postponed.
There is sense in this way of meeting
objectionable legislation. 1t is open, fair,
and ab0veboard. A great Improvement on

sive lobby of shyster lawyers to work

The rhird-term boomer.

Former Senator Marion Butler, Of North
Carolina. can properly lay claim to the
distinction of being the original third
term boomer. More than "a year ago he
talked privately when ia Washington of
what even then appeared to him the Ger
tainty Of an irresistible popular demand
for the denomination of President RoOse-
Welt anG at that time discussed the subject
freely with the President His interview
in The Washington Herald yesterday
may. therefore, be of more significance
than 1t appears to bear upon its face. Mr.
Butler came to the Senate when he was
scarcely old enough TO meet the pre-
scribed age limit. and was the youngest
man who. for half a century or more. had
/ been elected to that tribunal The Pop
ulist upheaval in the Tar Heel State was
responsible for his remarkable rise in
politics. Because Of his extreme youth
he wore fun beard from his entrance
into politics, and this he has carefully
maintained since. Soon after the Popu-
list organization, of which for "a time he
was national chairman, went to pieces
he ANNOUNCED himself in full accord with
the Republican party. Since leaving the
Senate he has been associated in business
enterprises in New York with former
Senator Pettigrew, and the combin; ton
has achieved notable financial success. It
Is generally conceded that should an or
! ganized Roosevelt movement grow out Of
the present stirring crisis in Republican
politics. Mr. Butler would be a prominent
part of it in the South.

The Mixture of Medals.

The nearly 800 men ana the one woman

entitled 10 wear medals of honor will be
interested in a law which was enacted in
the closing days of the late session,
which allows them 10 wear one of the
two insignia which now stands for that
emblem The old design was superseded
IN 1895 by newer. but not Better. device
which had been adopted by some people,
then of influence in the Wan Department
who regarded the old medal as too plain
The new design was adopted by authority
of law, regardless of the protests which
we're promptly Med against the rejection
Of the old badge. in opposition to the con
tinuaEce of which it was urged that il
bore too closely a resemblance to the
emblem OF the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. The new design was a mixture OF
tinsel tawdriness. and lost in dignity in
proportion To what il gained IN garish-
ness Holders of the medal of honor
were not inclined to surrender the old
emblem. although many Of them We're

because it offered "a field for the encour-

Penrose and Roosevelt.


That the President has at last broken
with Senator Penrose and has placed the
Pennsylvania statesman ia the list Of his
'unfriends." as the word now goes ar

prise. They have been close friends since
they met first at Harvard in 1877 The
President who is two years older than
the Sens tor. was only one class ahead
OF him az college They belonged 10 the
same societies. Penrose was one OF the
first members OF the Senate TO assure the
President Of his hearty support after Mr.
Roosevelt entered the White House, and
from that day TO the present the Penn
sylyanian has been a stanch supporter of
administration measures. IT will be re-
called that as chairman Of the Post-ofice
