STRONG FOR PROTECTION.
New York ProoIaims Loyalty to Time
Honored Policy.


In his speech as chairman Of the
New York Republican state convention
Representative Sherman, chairman OF
the Republican congressional campaign
committee, sounded the true note OF
stalwart Republlcanism when he said:
1--WE shall continue our American sys.
TEN OF protection developed and pro-
tected by the Republican party. We
shall continue to maintain the highest
wage scale on earth. our standard Of
living the best of all nations. through
n home market that is the envy of the
world. The tide Of prosperity may ebb
and flow, but the great waves of In
dustrial wealth will continue In ever In
creasing volume OF comfort and happI.
ness to our contented people. We shall
capture the markets of the world In
greater volume without the sacrifice OF
that foundation of national wealth and
progress, the home market"
And the convention was In complete
harmony with Mr.. Sherman's view. II
declared for tariff revision that shall
correct all injustice and all inequall-
ties, that shall Increase duties as well
as reduce duties and that shall hold un.
swervingly to the doctrine that the In
terests OF American labor and industry

ber Of electoral votes IL safely, soundly

Wood Pulp and Paper

1t is doubtful whether the
price of paper has been raised
by the Tariff. The Tariff has
been on for a good many years:
the price has just recently gone
up. If the Tariff had been the
cause, it seems that it should
have acted sooner. In the second
place, the result of taking off
the Tariff from wood pulp would
simply be the enactment of a law
in the Dominion putting on an
export duty. The Tariff would
be there just the same, but it
would be their government that
collected it and not ours. What
advantage that would be to the
American publisher does not
seem altogether manifest.
We incline to think that the
real reason for the increase in
the price of paper is the forma-
ton of a combination, or trust,
by the papermakers. The rem
edy seems to us to lie rather in
just the procedure which has
been adopted by the House than
in a hasty and precipitate change
of the Tariff. The House COM
mittee is holding hearings now
every day and taking evidence
in regard to the paper trust, and
if those who are interested can
not prove the existence of a
combination to raise prices they
are not as smart as they might
be. From where we are sitting,
it looks as if Mr.. Cannon and the
House had done just the right
thing. Colorado Springs Ca

RELIES ON ITS REccRD.
Republican Party Will Enter Campaign
CONFIDENT cf Victory.


In the coming campaign the Repub-
leans will go before the country. as
usual upon their record. while the
Democrats will have to rely solely
upon promises. The Republicans can
place before the voters their record
upon the tariff question and the splen-
did results which have come under the
operation of the Dingley tariff. the prin-
ciples of which will be continued,
though there may be revision in the
near future. with slight notifications
of certain schedules. but without any
abandonment whatever of the protec
tive principles.
The Republicans will point to the
legislation of the Fifty-ninth congress
and to the first session of the SiXtieth
congress. They can point to the splen-
did development of the postofiice de-
partment. particularly the astounding
advance made in the rural free deliv-
cry service. They can justly point
with pride to what has been done for
Cuba, for the Philippines and the prog
ress of the Panama canal They can
put forth the splendid condition of our
army and navy and to the fact that In
every department of the government
there has been an administration dur
ing the last four years without any
scandal of any kind or any just criti-
cism that could be made by the sever
est opponent.
There is no business in the country
whose receipts and expenditures to-
gether If they equaled those of the
government-that is, nearly two thou
sand million year-could show such
splendid administration and so few
mistakes and so little that could pos
sibly be open to criticism.
For twelve years the government
has been entirely In control of the
Republican party, and its record both
in legislation and administration has
been such that 1t would be impossible
to convince any one that there is any
reason whatever for change. Rely
Ing upon this, the Republicans will en-
ter the campaign with high hopes and
seem to be fully justified in claiming
that their party will be successful
next November not only in electing n
president and vice president, but a
majority In the house of representa-
tives for the Sixty-frst congress.

One cheering thing is that the
Denver election was fair prob
ably the fairest ever known in
the history of the city. There
seems to have been very little
illegal voting, and absolutely no
ballot box stuffing. This is a
good augury for the fall election.
Another cheering thing is the
election of most of the Republi-
can ticket aside from mayor.
With Republican city treasurer
and auditor, and Republican su-
pervisors. the Speer machine
will not have everything its own
way as it has for four years
past. But the best thing about
it all is the demonstration that
Denver is a Republican town.
We may expect not less than
five thousand majority next fall
for the national and state tickets.

Brevity should be the soul of
other things besides wit. Par
ticularly is this true of newspa-
per articles. Still more particu-
larly is it true of newspaper con-
tributions. To a weekly paper
news should be told in the few
est words that can be used to
make it plain and understood.
Only a few occurrences merit
the prominence of a story; but
the paper, to be right, must, as
nearly as is possible, keep track
of everything transpiring. In
the handling of hundreds of sub
jects it must necessarily be brief
and terse with most of them.

Few, if any, lieutenant gov
ernors have ever exercised the
gubernatorial power so much as
Mr.. Harper. Governor Buchtel
has been out of the state so
often, and so much, that Govern
or Harper has had quite large
share of executive experience.
Nobody could have performed
the duty better or more grace
fully than he. Always careful
not to exceed his authority, he
still is every inch the governor
when he is governor. One of the
most urbane of men, he is yet as
firm as a rock on matters o1
principle.

LIBERAL PENSION LAWS.

Republican Party Feels That War Vet
Grams Have Not Been Fully Paid.
As the time approaches for adjourn
ment of congress 1t Is realized more
and more that the Republicans, in spite
of the fact that there has been no or
dinary legislation. have completed an
immense amount of work. OF course
the appropriation bills consume more
time In the long session than in the
short session. Every item Is scrutiniz
ed with great care in the committee
rooms and when bill Is before either
house 1t is considered quite Mt length
by both parties.
The pension bill this year will be
the greatest In the history of the coun-
try. In spite Of the fact that over
$500. 100000 has been paid out In pen
sions, still the Republican party feels
that the debt has by no means been
fully paid, and as the few veterans who
are left cannot ask but short while
longer 1t is proposed to be as liberal
as possible and to give them every
comfort possible during their declining
days. For this reason very substantial
Increases have been made, and the
present bill will carry some twelve
millions Of new legislation In addition
to an extention of old legislation. This
great appropriation will continue for
some years yet before the descending
scale begins, and there Is no one who
will begrudge the money that Uncle
Sam will annually put out to the sur
vivors of the war and to their widows
and orphans.

Pueblo has called a meeting
and appointed committees to de-
wise ways and means looking to
the adoption of the commission
form of government for that city,
such as Des Moines, Iowa and
Galveston, Texas, have in force.
The system is wanted by enough
of Pueblo's people to have start
ed an earnest movement in the
matter of discussing it, procur-
ing all the information possible
and taking the initiatory steps to
submit the proposition to the
city's voters. Among the argu-
ments urged in favor of the
commission system is that it re-
moves city government entirely
out of political and factional
lines and makes it possible, upon
an application Of 25 per cent. of
the voters, to recall any elective
officer. The system is little more
than an experiment yet, at best,
having only been adopted so far
by two cities in the United
States.
