The recent agitation in Woodlawn has resulted in the resignation of AL derman Jesse L. Burrus. This is one step in the controversy that has arisen between W. M. Lindsay and the board of aldermen of Woodlawn over the pro- posed annexation election. It was ru- mored yesterday that several of the other members of the council are con- templating following Burrus example and resigning from the board. A peti
 tion will soon be presented to the coun- ell for an election on annexation and in this way it is claimed the board will be forced to call an election which they have heretofore declined to do.

Hope of Democracy.

"The triumph of the people can come only through the democratic party, for the life of it's chief political opponent is 30 absorbed in the artificial life of the monopolIes and trusts that 1t excludes tue hope that the republican party will ever be able or willing to regain separate existence where it can honestly discharge its duty to the people.
 with the power and opportunity to carry out democratic principles, we will te called upon to revise our tariff laws in the interests of the whole people. This issue cannot be disposed of by the asser- ton that the republican party also stands for tariff reform. Republican revision and democratic revision are two different things.
 'The democratic idea is that where the tariff enables the trusts to maintain q system of extortion the duty should be removed from all trust-made goods so that competition from abroad may compel reasonable prices to our own people. There is vast different between the protection of American industries and the protection of criminal monopolies.
 '"rhe expenses of our government. even when most economically administered, will always require substantial tariff iates, for the customs duties will always be our chief source of revenue.
 "rhe distribution of tariff rates must always be established with special refer erce to the expenditures of government keeping in view the greatess good to the area test number, and prohibit the con- version of the tariff into an a,compli,e of monopoly Tn the robbery of the Arner- ican consumer The democratic idea is that collection of sufficient revenue to meet the necessities of government must be the basis for tariff regula,lon. and that the republican policy of excluding com
