"REFORM" AFTER ELECTION.

1t is probably useless at this time
to point out that the time to agitate
for tariff reform-or revision, which
sounds little better-is before cleo
ton We shall not know until re-
suits arrive in legislation how far
these principles were observed by the
voters of the country who are actu-
ally in favor of a reduction of the
tariff.
one thing is certain. if the tariff
shall be revised, it will be done by
the very men who have blocked re-
vision for years. Speaker Cannon has
been reelected despite noisy OPPOSE
ton Most of his Iieutenants have al
so been reelected. Probably MAORI
" of the republican caucus is under
obligations to support his reelection
as speaker. This is what Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman told President elect
Taft. and this too despite our own
cOngressman's lukewarm support for
Burton. 1t appears that there is neither
leader nor material to organize repub-
lican opposition to Cannon.
1t is useless to oppose and futile to
criticise Mr.. Cannon. He will organize
the house as he had organized II be-
fore. The committee on rules and the
ways and means committee will be
made up of the same men who have
held the narrow bridge against tariff
reduction for several sessions of con-
gress. The country must accept the
situation as it is and be thankful for
whatever it may get in the way of re-
duction of oppressive duties.
The tariff Is going to be revised by
its friends"
But. unless Speaker Cannon and
his little band of stand-patters ap-
pear, at least, to yield to what is gen
orally believed to be a popular demand
for a reduction of the tariff. we still
have the congressional elections OF
1910 to look forward to.
Maybe then the people will seek tar
if reduction before, instead of after

NEITHER DEAD NOR SLEEPING

The editorial columns of the sub
sidized press is now filled with quad
rennial obituaries of Mr.. Bryan and
the democratic party. and such rot
as this, from the Seattle Post Intel
hgencer, is being given to the public:
1.-THE graver aspect of Mr. Bryans
case, so far as the future is concerned
is the question of a party. He has run
the democratic party to death. and
there doesn't now seem to be the least
possible chance of reviving or revi
talizing it,
This same heart-rendng story was
told in 1S96-Bryau was dead and the
democratic party was on the very neck
of the demnition bow-wows.
The same story was repeated, with
out a variation, in 1900.
When the Roosevelt wave swept the
country, our republican editors were
cocksure that they had heard and
seen the last of the democratic party.
This year the democratic party
showed signs of being a pretty lively
corpse, and the official returns. so far
as they have been received, shows
the republican majorities in every
state carried by Roosevelt in 1904 have
been materially cut down.
The democratic party is neither dead
nor sleeping; neither has Mr.. Bryan
been discredited.
| 1t Is probably true that so long as
| the republican party is in league with
Wall street and able to scare the peo-
pie into voting the republican ticket,
or. failing in that, to buy enough
votes to enable them to carry doubt
full States-and every student of polit-
| iCal affairs knows that both methods
| have been practiced in every cam
! palgn in the last fifteen years-So
long as these conditions prevail, it is
probably true that the democratic par
ty will not secure control of the fed
| eral government.
| But the democratic party'S useful
ness is not confined to holding Office
| Even out of office, its power for good
is UNNECESSARILY great, and the party
will continue its campaign along the
old lines.
As for Mr.. Bryan. it is doubtful il
| he VIII ever be a candidate for presi-
dent again, but his days of useful
ness are by no means over. Until some
other man as strong and as great as
he Is, arises from the masses to take
the party's leadership, he will be the
actual head of the progressive democ-
racy-and the party will not be
ASHAMED of him.

WOULD SWAP
GROUND WITH
CITY COUNCIL

Members of the city council came
near adopting David Harum's ''swap-
ping" tactics Tuesday night, when a
communication from II. G.. Baker and
J. w. Langdon was read, altering to
trade a tract of Is acres of land for
the city's burying ground for deceased
animals, which comprises some five
or six acres. The proposition was
made in view of the fact that the
owners of land adjoining the burying
ground desire to plat their holdings
into city lots, have the district an
neXed to the city and placed upon the
market as Il choice residence tract,
which they say cannot be done as
long as the city continues the policy
of hauling dead animals to the pres
ent Cemetery" The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee.

cuss the steps to be taken to enlarge
the scope of Whitman and to make
of it. if possible, an educational insti-

the state conducted institutions OF

tional scheme of the states of the Pa
cific northwest for q great private uni
Versity is admitted. That such ar
institution can be made at Whitman
with the start which it has and thu
prestige which it has attained, is
equally unQdestioned. The one re-
