movement in this state several months
ago, and 1t became acute when Sen
ator Crane, although not directly op-
posing the candidacy of Secretary
Taft, declared in a public statement in
February that the delegation to CHI
cago ought not to be hampered by
pledges.
Up to an early hour Friday both
sides had made every effort for Q de-
cisive victory In the convention: The
Taft men wanted either pledge or
preference resolutions, whereas their
opponents fought against anything
that would indicate preference. The
compromise was effected when the
leaders Of the unpledged cause ad-
mitted that q majority of the dele
gates to the state convention favored
Secretary Taft and the leaders agreed
that a resolution expressing a desire
instead of a preference for his nomi-
nation would be satisfactory. The
plank was drawn up at four o'clock
Friday morning, laid before the COM
mittee on resolutions six hours later,
and agreed to after session OF about
forty minutes.

WARM RECEPTION.
At PENSACOLA, FLORIDA


Pensacola. Fla, Apr. 1.-THE bring
ing Of a carload Of strike breakers
from st. Louis Friday afternoon by
the Pensacola Electric company was
the signal for rioting and disorder
which resulted in the injury Of is Of
the imported men.
No sooner had the strike breakers
arrived and started for the car sheds
than a fight occurred between them
and the sympathizers Of the union
men.
Bricks, bottles and shells were
hurled at the strike breakers, and in
turn the latter fred shots, used heavy
sticks and bricks. For over an hour
the riot continued, the strike break
ers gradually getting nearer to the
car barns, but before they reached
there is men had been wounded.
When near the car barns SO fierce
was the onslaught on the imported
men that they separated and fed, 80
running into negro house, while the
remainder reached the car barn and
barricaded the doors. The 30 men
who gained the negro house barri-
caded the doors and 1t took the police
over an hour to dispense the mob and
remove them to places Of safety.
The mayor has issued a proclana.'
ton closing all saloons and the board
Of public safety has ordered the mar
shall to swear In a sufficient number
Of deputies to quell the disturbance.
Seventy strike breakers were
marched to the city jail where they
were kept in safety Friday night.

Of the International Association of
Street Railway Employees made an adj
dress urging the strikers to dispense
and go to their homes quietly.

in which the writer asserts that Gov.

WHAT CONGRESS DID AND DID
NOT DO.

The first session of the Sixtieth Congress
has ezded and the members Of the majority
party, who are responsible for what has
been done as well as for what has lot been
done, will 60 back to their people carrying
records for which they will receive but lit.
tie credit. Indeed, the session is remark
able for what has been left undone, rather
than for what has been accomplished. OF
all the vehement recommendations of the
President, reiterated and almost shouted in
the ears OF Congress, not one has been put
upon the statute book except child labor
bill for the District OF Columbia-a terrific
~ in which child labor is almost unknown.
The President, ii is true, recommended a
currency bill, and it is probable he did not
seriously object to that enacted in the last
hours Of the session, as otherwise he would
assuredly have denounced it, in accordance
with his custom in all such cases. But he
was not on record as special champion of
this particular bill, however much his in
fiuence may have been quietly exerted for
1t.
The work ofthe session consisted OF passing
the appropriation bills, one Of which increas-
ed the meager pay of the army and navy, and
authorized two battleships; the enactment
of q vast number of pension bills; the
Child Labor bill for the District Of Colum-
bia and the Currency bill. II was not ex-

THE TARIKF ISSUE.

Outside Of the intricacies OF the different
schedules Of the tariff, purposely made OBJ
scure and difficult for voters to understand,
the question OF high or low tariff Is the real
fact at issue. That issue everyone can COM
prehend. The present tariff was especially
designed to protect the trusts and manufac'
turers from foreign competition, and the
question of raising revenue for the govern
ment was q secondary consideration. The
Republican politicians when connecting the
present tariff law to suit the trusts and
protected monopolists rashly discarded the
presumption that foreign countries, when
they found the schedules so prohibitive
that they could not probably export
their products to this country, would re-
taliate by increasing their rates OF duties
80 as to prohibit the importation OF Ameri-
can goods. Foreigners want our wheat and
flour, our corn and meat and tobacco, and
other products they do not raise themselves,
or do not produce in sufficient quantities TO
supply their own consumers, but they do
not want our manufactured goods TO com
pete with their own like products. Such
countries as Germany, France, Austria, Rus
sis, and in fact every country, but England,
has raised higher tariff barrier TO prevent
competition from the United States. They
declare, If you will not trade with rs, we
will buy as little as possible OF you.
The trusts try to overcome their foreign
tariff barrier by selling at much lower prices
to the foreigners than to our own people.
The European and other foreign markets
are loaded down with bargain-counter goods
from the United States, while trust prices
here are still kept at the top notch.
Therefore, the question the voters OF the
United States must decide at the coming
election is whether they are satisfied TO pay
high prices for much they buy, or by reduc
ing the tariff participate 10 the reduced
prices that the foreigners enjoy. That is
very simple proposition to vote upon. Those
few voters who benefit by trust high prices
will, OF course, vote to continue the Repub
lican party In power. Those who think the
trusts should shift for themselves and be
subject to competition that will force them
to sell their products as cheaply as abroad
will vote the Democratic ticket.
The Republican national platform will
declare, as former ones have, for "the prn'
ciple Of protection" and although there may
be promise to revise the tariff, there will
be no direct promise to revise it lower.
How can the protective principle be per-
petusted without continuing or even in
creasing the present rates Don't be again
fooled by promises unless specific reductions
are included

complish much. But In one respect its re-
cord is unique, and in that repect 1t exceeds
all it's predecessors. It appropriated the
prodigious sum Of 81 .o06, So4 e04-a sum in
excess Of that appropriated at any session
during the Civil War, even ct the time there
were a million men In the field, and the
largest navy In the world to be maintained.
Next to this achievement the first session
Of the Sixteth Congress was most remark.
able for what It failed to do. Some Of the
things 1t failed TO do should have been done
and some are better left undone. 1t failed
TO relieve the country OF q single tariff bur.
den or in any manner tighten any burden !;
it failed TO grant relief and justice to the
Philippine Islands. Notwithstanding their
urgent appeals, the inhabitants OF Porto
Rico cannot, under existing laws, become
citizens Of the United States; the anti in
junction measure urged by the President
was left in the dump; changes In the Sher
man Anti Trust act which the President
recommended, were ignored; no ship sub
sides were granted, and the Employers
Liability bill was not passed; the Campaign
Publicity bill was left In the Senate pigeon.
hole.
The attention of Congress seems to have
been engaged in the coming political cam
paign, rather than in the performance OF
its con stitutional duty. There seemed u
be little real desire to legislate for the gener-
al welfare. Nearly everything was subor'
dinated to politics. What effect will this
or that measure have upon the election ?
That was the first thing to be considered,
and not what the country needs. And it Is
generally understood that the Emergency
Currency bill was, in fact. q political emer-
gency bill. The business of the country
will heave sigh Of relief that it is finally to
have respite of six months from the men
ace of this Congress.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Politicians OF both parties are specializing
as to the effect the Corrupt Practices Act,
passed by the recent Legislature, and signed
by the Governor, will have in the fall cleo
ton. Some contend that it will prove In
effective, and that bribery of voters will go
on all over the State, as it has before. Others
believe that 1t will put an end to the whole.
sale expenditure of money in elections that
has characterized this State for years. The
law was enacted to fulfill one OF the pledges
made by the Democratic party in the last
campaign. In this connection the views OF
Attorney General Isaac Lobe Straus, who
drew the act, are Of interest. In speaking
on this subject Mr.. Straus said
aft the Corrupt Practices Act is enforced
1t will absolutely put an end to bribery and
corrupt acts In connection with elections,
both primary and general, in this State.
The idea that the provisions OF the statute
can be evaded is preposterous. The act is
practically complete in all particulars, and
covers every phase OF corruption which has
80 far manifested itself in the history of cleo
tions in this country.
"If any money is spent contrary to the
provisions of the act, in any way that is
conceivable, such an expenditure is a crime
punishable by severe penalties, and the only
way oil escaping these penalties is by the
connivance of the prosecuting officers of the
State, or by an absolute indifference on their
part to their duty.
"Of course, there may be persons who
ly that they will not be discovered, and some
OF them 80 doing may not be discovered in
their crime, but they take the chances taken
by people who commit murder, theft, arson,
forgery and other crimes with the hope of
not being found out.
allow many people may violate the act
without being brought to justice l cannot
say, but can, and do say this, that with the
same vigilance upon the part Of the public
and the public authorities to detect viola
tons Of the Corrupt Practices Act, as is used
to detect the commission OF other crimes,
the corrupt practices statute is so compre-
hensive, and so minute and detailed, in Its
provisions that they cannot be evaded OF
broken through.
"No act can be made effective unless pub
lie opinion executes 1t. The public will
forced the enactment of the measures 10
question. The same public opinion and
will are behind it now, and will enforce itI
provisions and penalties. 1t will take q
man of the utmost intrepidity to take the
chances of violating this statute. There is
no political criminal so astute as to be able
10 break through its meshes. The act is all
right. 1t only remains for public opinion
and public officials to execute it,"
