Hot Shot for Cannon

Governor Guild of Massachusetts, in q
magazine article pours the following
hot shot into Speaker Cannon:
"A Massachusetts regiment of volun-
teers, during the Spanish-American
war. was forced to pose with black
powder and obsolete guns while the
enemy. armed with mausers and smoke,
less powder, shot them down like tar
gets. The American volunteers died
with gasping sobs, with the enemy en-
tirely beyond the reach of their anti
quated rifles. Congress for years re-
FUSED an appropriation for the proper
equipment of the national guard and
infatuated with the speaker, the bill
was never passed. this infatuation and
dlctatlon preventing CONGRESSES action.
Not on the hands of those who have
done their best, not on the hands of the
secretary of war who pledged his
private fortune to get guns and cart
ridges for their use-but on congress
and its speaker who let jealousy of the
president stif1e their love of country, is
the blood of those brave volunteers.
New England's roads are choked
with the dust and the harbors are filed
with the black smoke of forest fires.
The rivers have shrunk to mere tiny
threads, leaving beds of sewage and
the spawn of disease, Year after year,
congress has been forewarned of this
but has always turned deaf ear.
Millions have been appropriated for
runways and irrigation streams in the
west, and not one cent has been given
for the forest reserves at the head of
New Englands rivers to save the water
supply.
IF the water continues to diminish
In quantity and the mills stop, the cattle
die and children sicken, the guilt will
be not at the door of the president who
has done the best for the forestry
department, but-well, finish the paral-
lei as you like"

The fad for flower wallpaper in bed

moderate means. A bedroom should
be. simple and restful. In the flower
designs there is wide field for ones
individual taste. In planning such a
room, one must bear in mind the size,
exposure, and woodwork For a. SUM-

several harmonious rag rugs, and the
walls were papered with a cream-col-

was also a faint cream color.

DEMOCRACY and TARIFF

Some people seem 10 feel surprise that
democrats should appear before the
tariff committee 10 ask for the retention
of certain tariffs an n to ask for ;tn
increase. This surprise comes from the
old pretense that the democrats stand
for free trade.
That accusation is only IL pretense,
for democracy never did stand for free
trade. X did ut ono time stand for
tariff for revenue with incidental pro-
lection, but the tariff policy has become
too firmly entrenched as u part OF the
governmental system to permit IL con-
tinuance even of that doctrine for
Immediate adoption.
Democrats rcaIiza, IS well us do
republicans, that it would produce a
chaotic condition of the business of the
country to drop abruptly the tariff
schedules, OF even to cnt them down to
merely Il revenue basis
1t is no departure from their original
doctrine. however, Oh the part OF the
democrats in thus shifting position
upon this question. They still believe
in tariff for revenue, with such inciden-
tai protection as such u policy might
afford. but they realizp that conditions
are such that Il return to such policy
will have to be gridilal. There is too
much money invested and TOO many
interests, both Of capital and Of Label
involved, to permit Of Il radical change
Ut one time.
Carnegie has called attention to the
fact that the time is past when pro-
lection is needed except in rare in
stances and ne advocates a gradual
abolition of the tariff schedules. In this
Carnegie is in line with The best demo
cratic thought upon the subject.
1t is not, however, true and never was
true. De iJc. . was u free
trade party, though, of course those
ADVOCATING and believing in free trade,
have aligned themselves with that party
rather than with the party of extreme
high protection
The democratic position upon this

reduced, and reduced now, but in doing
so proper regard must be had for
vested interests. In that position the
democrats arc joined by many of the
best and WoSt Influential men of the re-
publican party.
But the democrats charge that the
republican party is surrounded by suCn
influences that any revision that it
might undertako to make. would result
in revision upward. rather than down
ward, as the party still stands com.
mitted to the doctrine of protective
tariff as Il good thing within itself.
The manner in which those in control
OF the party machinery, as represented
on the committee now hearing evidence
on this question, receive suggestions by
Carnegie and others looking toward a
gradual reduction uf the tariff with the
ultimate idea OF tariff for revenue only.
1t seems more than likely thnt the II.
vision promised at special session Of
congress after the inauguration of Prcsi
dent Taft. will he upward along r..
publican lines, rather than downward
along democratic lines ANA as suggested
by Carnegie. Capital News.
