IT IS A PARTISAN QUESTION.

Our experience with tariff COM
missions does not warrant the be-
lief that such body would take the
tariff question out Of politics. 1t
is a partisan question. and even
within parties there is no agreement
as to the test which should be an
piled to determine whether a certain
industry is entitled to protection, or
what the measure of its protection
should be. Controversy on this
point Is inevitable, even within par
ties. because one mans finished pro-
duct is another's raw material and
each wishes the cheapest raw mater
ial and the highest possible rate on
his finished product Whatever the
commission might decide, the ag-
grieved party would exercise his
right OF appeal to congress. The

REACTION is HEALTHFUL

Speaking of business, it is picking
up its raveled ends and readjusting
itself to the new conditions. The
nation had on too much momentum
a year ago; business jumped the
track, so to speak, and there was a
bad wreck and when the signals Of
disaster were wired to the land there
was general putting on of the
brakes. The country is recovering,
but there is a change. 1t goes deeper
than business. The rich men had
had their way until the impression
came about that, after all, nothing
counted but money.
Good character, high and noble
purpose, divine accomplishments. or
unsullied name counted for nothing
against money, no matter how coarse
and vulgar its presentations. But
that predatory wealth which has
been ruling the land for 20 years has
had a set back. When the wealth
was swept away 1t was found that
nothing was left, and the nation has
recoiled before the emptiness which
the panic and depression revealed.
And when one corporation after
another was called up and analysed
and the people realized how coarse
and vulgar were the underlying i'm
pulses which controlled SO many who
we're held to be impregnable in their
positions, there was still more pro-
nounced recoil from them. The
country will recover, all right, but
many Of the ancient methods will be
rejected. About the time of Lord
and Lord Give, England
was corrupt to the core, but she had
the strength to reform herself. So
will our own country. Corporations
and men will decide pretty soon that
1t is better never to run counter to
the laws, and out of the present
trouble more satisfactory idea Of
what should govern than has been
realized for years will govern.

1T WON'T DO!

The supporters of Robert NJ. La
Toilette in idaho are trying to create
a prejudice against Secretary Taft
by misrepresenting his attitude to-
ward the Roosevelt policies and at
the same time proclaiming the little
senator father of those policies and
the only fit successor for president.
AS his newspaper support Is largely
confined to the democratic papers
there is very little likelihood that 1t
will bear fruit in a republican con-
vention.--Murray Sun.

BRYAN's WANING STRENGTH

There is evidence on every hand
that Bryan Is losing strength. He is
not the idol that he was supposed to
be with the democracy. He is not
going to slide into the presidential
nomination without opposition. In
fact, it is now doubtful If he will be
able to secure the nomination at all.
New York and Michigan democrats
have refused to instruct for him
Illinois will perhaps instruct against
him or remain uninstructed. The
delegations upon which he depended
for ready instructions have refused
to be hypnotized. 1ney will go into
the Denver convention with hands
free to select any candidate that may
seem to be winner.
And in the meantime Governor
johnson Of Minnesota, is gaining
strength. He is now in the fight to
stay. He was not to be bluffed off
with the charge that he is an inter-
loper. His friends are not to be
silenced by the rafting thunder OF
the Bryan tornado.
The democratic nomination, in
stead of being certain for Bryan, as
seemed few weeks ago, is now ex-
uncertain with Bryan's old
time strength on the wane. If Bryan
should get the nomination 1t is not
certain that he could beat Taft,
should Taft be nominated. Senti-
ment has changed throughout the
in the past week.
Nobody has yet given any reasons
or Bryan's waning strength. Only
. short time ago he seemed to be i'm
)regnable in his position. He SEEM
I'd to be stronger with the people
han ever. But the refusal of New
York to instruct for him caused dem
,crats to sit up and take notice

o pledge her delegates for Bryan

lear sky and now anything terrible

The trouble with the democratic

DEATH OF GEN. BRANDON
A Prominent Political Factor in
Tennessee, and Regarded as a
Gubernatorial Possibility.

Dover, Tenn, Dec. l0-Gen. VIM.
Milton Brandon, member of the demo-
cratic state committee, died tonight at
his home in this city after an illness of
some weeks. His brother, T. G, Bran
don, cashier of the Dover Bank and
Trust Company, his sister, Mrs. j. w.
Stout, and F. G. Lewis, his law part
ner, were at his bedside. The funeral
arrangements have not yet been made.
Gen. Brandon, in some quarters, has
been regarded as possibility in the
next gubernatorial contest. He was
born in Dover, March g. 1866, and re-
ceived his education in the schools
there and at Burrell college in Van
Buren, county. He read law in the
office of his brother-in-law, Judge j.
w. Stout. In addition to his extensive
law practice, he had farming and
banking interests, having been presi'
dent of the Dover Bank and Trust
Company from its origin.
He represented Stewart county in
the legislature of 1895 and 1897. His
next public service was as adjutant
general under Gov. McMillin. Early
this year he was appointed attorney
general of his circuit, serving till Au
gust, and declining to stand for cleo
ton.
In recent years he has been a promi
nent political factor. In 1906 he yer.

WHY NOT BE JUSTa

The Knoxville Tribune has this criti-
cism of the governor to make: "Of
course Gov. Patterson does not think
that the hanging of three negroes be-
fore pulpit in a church is of conSe-
quence enough to order troops into that y,
territory again on account of lynching.
But it is the very same kind of law
lessness that hanged Capt. Rankin.
The scene of the lynching is not far
from where the governor went with
troops and undertook to create a re-
spect for law by bringing law breakers
to justice. The lynching at Upton
vile is f1aunt in the face of the gov
ernor for his activity against lynching
in that region. The lesson needs further
to be impressed and if the governor is
after lawlessness, body of troops,
martial law and searching investiga-
ton can result in rounding up fair
sized bunch of law breakers at Upton
NlllS anu NlSllllty'
The utter unfairness of this censure
is apparent at a glance. The parallel
between the cases breaks down COM
pletely.
| At Reelfoot, a number of masked
assassins took out at midnight two of
the best men in the state, who had
committed no ottense against the law,
cruelty murdered one of them and tried
to murder the other. A reign of terror
ensued The sheriff declared that he
could not manage the situation and
asked for troops. The Reelfoot muir
derers had practically declared war
against the state and the danger was
in its inception, The governor felt that
he must strain point to put the dan
ger down before it spread and got be-
You'd control.
The other case was entirely different.
The Commercial Appeal has con
demned the lynching of the three
negroes in language as strong as it
knew how to make it. But the negroes
were murderers to begin with, thus
differing entirely in character from
Col. Taylor and Capt Rankin. The
+ further peace of the neighborhood was
not involved. The authorities, instead
of asking the governor for military aid
besought him most emphatically no
to send the troops. Thus it will b,
seen that the two cases were entirely
different, and the governor had n,
legal preteXt for sending the troops t,
round up the lyncherS of the negr
murderers.
The governor, however, has eXpresse,
himself in no uncertain terms regard

ers. 1t was wholly gratuitous affai
and justice would have been melted gu
