Editorial Opinion
Tariff Revision.
Louisville Herald.

Louisville Herald.
Serene z. Payne and John Daizell,
members Of Congress and special
suming a most high and lofty attitude
on the question Of removing the duty
from paper and wood pulp.
The newspapers Of the country, ir-
respective of party affiliation, sent up n
cry that penetrated the White House
and brought to their aid the strong
words of the Presidenv. They are sUf-
fering from the oppression of a trust
that is only a little less dictorial than
the two gentlemen above named.
Now we believe in the tariff; we be-
lieve in the protection of American in
dustries; we believe in building the
fence that will keep our home market
from being swamped by the cheap
products Of European sweat shops. All
this is right and proper. But the
tariff is not to be regarded as a fetch,
which must be worshiped, and before
the inviolable sanctity OF which all else
must give way The tariff is intended
to serve the people, not to dominate
them. When II holsters injustice and
extortion II becomes a mater for al
teration. or. IL reed be. extinction.
President Roosevelt is a good enough
Republican for US, and he has seen
that the tariff is shielding certain
predatory interests m their campaign
of unfair profit making against the pa
per consumers of the country. He is a
better Republican than either Payne or
Dalzell, because he is not a slave to a
superstition; he does not feel that his
Republicanism depends upon the fre-
quent repetition OF a shibboleth.
The member from New York and the
member from Pennsylvania are men
of that type whose convictions have
become petrifed and moss grown until
they are mere prejudices, and who feel
that II any one or their long-establish-
ed tenets was to be shifted half an
inch from its usual place. they would
be on the verge OF revolution.
The country has gotten beyond the
cramped and cabined vision of such
men. It still needs a tariff. but 1t
needs II as an instrument of revenue
and protection, not as a god before
which to offer its political alteration.
Mr.. Dalzell speaks in lofty contempt
of the telegrams that have poured in
upon Congress urging action in the line
of the Presidents late message con-
cerning the duty on paper and its raw
material He affects TO scorn this evil
dence OF public feeling. Other men
have taken the same naughty attitude
at times and lived 70 regret IT, We
would greatly dislike TO lose two such
eminent gentlemen from the House.

What claim has Judge Gray TO tne

Is il not fair to suppose that he voted the

he not been appointed on two commissions
and to the judgeship by the Republican
party for the services he rendered the Re-
publican party against the Democratic
party? But the Republicans tell us what
a safe and sane candidate he would make
and that the Democratic party could win
with him as their leader. Why do not the
Republicans nominate him as their can
didate? They need safe and sane candi-
date badly. The Democrats already have
one who is far more sane and Thousand
times safer than any one the Republicans
have mentioned. Besides Judge Gray is
far more a Republican than he is DEM
ocrat and has rendered the Republicans 50
much service that they should recognize
him. He is entitled 10 no recognition at
the hands Of the Democratic party nor
would he receive any at the hands Of the
rank and file Of that organization. AS a
citizen and a judge he is too good a man

cUPID's NOTABLE VICTORY.

II HERE is no man between the bays who
Il ought to be so competent 10 speak for the
army of unmarried men as Attorney Francis II.
Hoffecker, of this city. For many years ne has
held the brief of the unmarried men. Surely he
is known in the social world of Delaware, from
the remotest part of Baltimore hundred to the
northern extremity of Brandywne hundred, as
the most prominent OF the confirmed bachelors OF
Delaware His address, therefore, before the
Jsrangers at Stanton must have been of peculiar
interest, and fortunate indeed, were the Grangers
in having Mr.. Hoffecker TO deliver his remarks
upon a subject on which he has long been an
acknowledged authority.
There is not hamlet in Delaware where THE
JOURNAL penetrates in which Mr.. Hofecker's
opinions will not be discussed and commented
upon by grave fathers, fond mothers, loving
daughters and gallant young men, Cupid has
never won a greater victory in Delaware than the
little fellow has won by this ensnaring OF Mr.
Hoffecker into his net-in theory, if not actually
We have often marveed at Mr.. Hoffeckers
record. Officiating at forty-six weddings, either
as best man or usher, is a record unexcelled,
we believe. by any other man in Delaware. And
still a bachelor 1t was presumed that Mr. Hoi-
fec<er was immune from a decision that married
life is the happier life. Those who have been de-
ploring the tendency among young folks not to
wed, can enter their battle against race suicide
with renewed courage. The captain OF the citadel
OF bachelordom has spiked his guns and all the
pesly old bachelors in Delaware are in dismay
and confusion forlorn and in distress. We didn't
suppose Gen. Hofecker would hoist the white
flag, but, perhaps, the happy lives he sees among
the Crangers have brought about this notable
conversion.

THE CONVENTION.

"A S HAS been the custom with the Re-
\ publicans of Delaware, delegation unin-
structed has been sent TO the Chicago convention
and the members will no doubt act in accordance
with what they believe to be the sentiments OF
the voters in this State.
The fact that there was no speech-malSng OF
moment for or against Taft, does not signify that
the delegates from Delaware will not support
Taft for the nomination or that they are not in
accordance with the policies of President Roose-
welt. If there is anything in this country that
needs no further demonstration, but must
be accepted fact, that thing is that Roosevelt
and his policies are approved by vast majority
of the Republicans of the country. When such
men as Cannon and Fairbanks force their hench-
men in conventions practically to adopt in their
platforms the idea that the President has
brought before the country so prominently, it is
surely an acknowledgment that the so-called con-
servatves have little strength. Delaware gave
a hearty endorsement to the policies of the adj
ministration. The resolutions spoke in no uncer-
tain terms. They were well prepared and they
reflect the sentiment Of the Republican voters Of
the State, and in fact the sentiment of a good
many voters of the opposition party. The plat
form was admirable all the way through
OF course the fact that there were few scraps"
was disappointing to the spectators, who have
been accustomed to seeing wordy frays in Della
ware political conventions But the harmony that
prevailed at the convention is certain indication
OF united and triumphant party at the polls. 1t

GOOD BLOOD PAYS.
The Lesson That the Western Stock
Show Association is Trying to
Teach


There Is an old saying in Englend
among stockmen that "the bull Is ALI
the herd" This is as true as any old
saw ever uttered. but the stoclSmen
of this country are still learning this
fact by experience The main object
of the National Western Stock Show
Is to educate the stockmen of the West
to the fact that there is good profit in
good blood and in order that they may
profit b. the lesson In practical way
the association has enlisted the nssist-
ance OF the Pure Blood Record Asso-
c!ation to provide few really choice
animals In the various breeds that can
be sold TO western breeders at n low
price. The public sales to be held at
the stock show in Denver during the
week of January 18th. are selected
from the best herds in America and
are sold not for the purpose OF making
a big profit, but to introduce the breeds
into the West. The buyers make their
own prices The animals are selected
by committee and are not only typi-
cal of the breed they represent. but arc
choice individuals.
The American Shorthorn Breeders
Association will offer In this sale about
fifty-five head of choice young bulls,
from such herds as those of F. W.
Harding OF Wisconsin. N. p. Clarke. T.
J. Wornall & Sons, G.. e. Lee lard Il
Son, ID. r. Hanna, Carpenter & Ross OF
Ohio A. G. Shellenberger. w. A. For
sythe, II. M. Hill. Henry Stunkel. Chas-
Wells & Son. B. N. Newby, Fremont
Watts.
These names are we'll known to
Shorthorn breeders through the whole
country and they represent the best
of the Shorthorn herds of America.
The Hereford Association Is arrans-
ing sale OF choice things fully equal
to the Shorthorn offerings. The very
best breeders and herds OF the country
will be represented. The same may be
said OF the Galloway breed and OF the
Aberdeen Angus.
This feature OF the big stock show is
the business end and the annual dis
persal OF these well bsed cattle through
the West means millions to the live
stock industry OF this section In the
future.
The new building for the stock show
Is completed. 1t represents an invest
ment of 100000 and will comfortably
seat over G,000 people. The big arena
will be constantly occupied with
stock during the week Of January 18th
23rd and the Indications are that tho
show will be the greatest ever held
West Of Chicago.

A representative of the Goldfield
