Boycott and Bullet.

In the good time coming it il quite
possible that instead of fighting each
other with guns the nations will make
war with Ecstile tariffs. The boycott
is only form of prohibitive tariff put
forth on individual initiative instead
of taking statutory form, says the
Philadelphia Record.
The Chinese are now carrying on a
boycott war against the Japanese. The
young Turks are making exasperating
.ly effective use of the boycott as a
means of reprisal against Austria
Hungary. One signal advantage in
this form of warfare is that it does not
involve gpnpowder expenditure or the
shedding of blood.
The Chinese and Turkish govern
ments calmly disclaim responsibility
for the vagaries of their merchants and
traders, who must be permitted to buy
and sell as they choose. =

Taft for RealTarifr Revision.

When Mr. Taft conferred with the
members of the committee on ways
and means Mr.. Cannon was not pres
emit Report has it that the meeting
between the president-elect and the
speaker brought no agreement as to
the manner in which the revision OF
the tariff Is to be made Another re-
port is that Mr.. Taft is in control on
the situation, not at all pleased with
the department of the standpat mem
bers OF the committee and insisten.
that there be a kind of tariff revision
which will be compliance with the
spirit of the party promises rather
than with the mere letter.
The. situation renews the homes of
the revisionists that ultimately the
work will he consequential. The value
of the proceedings before the WAYS
and means committee seems to lie in
its revelation of the deceptive policies
OF the leaders and the creation of an
opportunity for frank exposition of
the views of individuals and news

to the plain fallacies of protection.
particularly in regard to such articles
as sugar, hides, steel and other trust

mer view that duty rates should be
noticed on a great variety
of articles he seems to have been
strongly reminded by the unmodiried
expressions which have found their
way into print. He is reported to have
told the committee that not only is all
information to be gathered from those
who volunteer it, but it is to make
every effort to secure testimony from
the other side and to consider the
questions that arise in relation to
their effect on the consumer as well
as on the manufacturer.
1t is also plain that Mr.. Taft con-
templates active participation in the
proceedings. Such activity is likely
to bring him into clash with the
tariff thinkers, and it is the prospect of
such clash at an early day which

Government by Patronage.

Never was the power of patronage
SO conspicuously and so extensively
displayed as during the present year
by the republican president. who has
posed before the public as a civil SER
vice reformer. 1t is unnecessary to
go back further than few months to
illustrate this fact
The withdrawal of Timothy l.. Wood
ruff from the senatorial contest in
New York in favor of Elihu Root fol-
lowed Woodruff's visit to Taft who
subsequently, declared "he CWoodruff)
has established his claim to the graft
'tude of the republicans of New York
and also of the country at large" The
result Mr. Root is to go to the federal
senate and Mir. Woodruff is to be taken
care of by President Taft.
In Ohio, the leading candidate for
senator to succeed Foraker was Con
gresham Burton; now it is Charles
p. Taft. the brother of President-elect
Taft, who contributed $4,000 to the
republican campaign fund. Back of
the Taft senatorial candidacy is all the
,appointive power of the incoming ad-
ministration. Representative Burton
was forced out of the field as Wood
ruff was forced out in New York. and
William H. Taft, not the Ohio legisla-
ture will name the senator.
Chairman Hitchcock of the repub-
lican national committee is to be
translated to the cabinet and placed in
charge of the postoffice department
He will command an army of nearly
200, 600 government employees. Mr. Taft
is doing with Mr.. Hitchcock What Mr.
Roosevelt did with Mr. Cortelyou. In
each case the chairman of the national
committee is made postmaster gen
eral to captain the janizaries, strength
en- the machine and control the next
national convention.
There are low approximately 100000
| federal employees. 1t is the grandest
political army in the world and its
commander-in-chief is the president OF
the United States.
I Were it not for this patronage
neither Elihu Root nor Charles P. Taft
could go TO the United States senate
1t is through federal officeholders that
Mr.. Roosevelt rules the republican
iarty.. But for his control of these off
ceholders Mr.. Taft could not have
been nominated for president
Through federal officeholders thu
president has interfered in nearly
every state, and in the southern states
particularly he manipulated the dele
gates to the national convention-se
cured the nomination of Taft and the
:. selection IF Hitchcock. Then office
holders under direction from thei
comrnander-in-chief even interfere il
the party affairs in counties and mu
inequalities: a conspicuous illustration
of this was the nomination of Con
gresham Burton for mayor of Cleve
land last spring. The republican part.
in Springfield even has felt the powe
of this government patronage in loca
affairs, and rave had men forced upol
the party tickets that the rank and fill
did not want
In spite of all pretense about tn
progress of civil service reform, tn
fact remains that political power, i
still largely a matter of official pat
ronage, and that this patronage cor
: itrolled from Washington, govern
. states no less than it governs tn
nation.
