That splendid disciple for revenae
tariff. Mr. W. Taft. formerly Of the
war department, Washington, District
OF Columbia. has as little explanation
ing to do. The secretary ascertained
the khaki uniform Is the best for the
hot insular countries, and ordered the
suits from an English house. Queried
as 10 such action. he stated thatths
price was less than hasf whas he was
asked in this country
According to Mr. Taft he should
either have postponed getting the
troops in the Orient any new clothes,
or purchased them here. "after the
national election heat was spent"
The protective tariff that Mr.. Taft
avoided has worse features than the
khaki uniform class. 1t allows the
farmer OF the Argentina pampas TO
purchase a Mccormick binder foi
twenty-seven dollars less than he
could purchase 1t for at the Chicago
suburban place where said binders are
made. or the good housewife could
have her sewing machine eleven dol
lars cheaper in Vienna, Austria, tban
she could purchase II for IN New York.
These selfevident truths were lin
ally forced through the thought Fea,
sci Of the republican candidate for the
office of president, but he is so busy
now that he had TO call Serene Payne
and Joe Cannon TO arrange a Schedule
Of prices for the next congress. Both
assistants are standrpatters and each
declares thar the present tariff law is
he best in the world and we fear that
| he agreement to change was made
with the idea Of sending Taft to the
White House, where he will forget al

The Kansas City STAR answers the
Eastern reactionary organ, the New
York Sun, also takes a sidetwist at
Oklahoma in the following dsssrta-
lion. asa IN
"The esteemed New York Sun ap-
pears to be unduly exercised over the
prominence given to--or rather taken
by Oklahoma in the Denver conven.
tiun Can it. be possible that Wall
street is already alarmed over the
prospect that the Oklahoma idea"
may supplant what The national plat
form terms the principles of the
party" ana that Colonel Haskell
Alfalfa Bill Murray and Colonel
Ham Bee may displace in the councils
of the organization such men as Muir
ply, "Fingy" Conners and McCar-
rem
'sThe democratic party today is
Western" says the Sun, ana Oklaho-
mas little finger in it is bigger than
the lions of the East and the South.
You can bet that Oklahoma, single
handed, in any contest with the con
servative East and the even, more
conservative South where vocal aud
physical energy might fignre-as II
did at Denver would walk away
with the prize for The big noise. But
aside from that llariicnlar aec9m-
pllshment, which happens TO be Okla
homas long suit" why shouldn't
that splendid young state have out
stripped New ,HcrkS Pennsylvania and
all the conservative group in the
matter of what the politicians term
"0tting ice?' Whatever modern dem
ocracy stands for aside from Mr.
Bryan himself Oklahoma represents
il, sum. and Substance The Sun is
correct when it declares that the
democratic party today is Western.
1t might even have more appropriate
ly expressed IL by saying that the
democratic party today is rOldaho
man. And the youngster is the finest
product of the party in its last hall
century of existence and wholly
worthy of every exhibition made by
/ it at Denver.
With its proverbial tendency tc
view with alarm the democracy Is
at last offered ample opportunity tc
point with pride" TO this one worl
of its own hand.

NEW COCAINE LAW FOUND
DEFECTIVE IN NORFOLK
Would Not Send Man 20 Pentcntiary
for Selling Ten Cents
Worth Of Drug.

NORFOLK. VA. April S.-The mis-
trial in the Corporation Court of Her
bert Tracey. charged with selling CO.
came, is feared by Commonwealth
Attorney to prove the utter ineffec-
tiveness Of the law adopted ty the
last legislature making the sale of
cocaine punishable only by term in
the pcntentiary.
"There was no doubt of the fact
that Tracey sold socaine." said MIR.
Tilton today. "But it was just i'm.
possible for the jury to see that n
man for selling ten cents worth CT this
drug should be sent to the penitenti-
ayr. The jury had no alternative.
1.-THE new law says a person who
sells cocaine must go to the penltenti-
AIRY. This was what hung the jury in
Traceys case, though the evidence
was positive as to his guilt. The
Tracey jury stood eight for five years
in the penitentiary with four for a
jail sentence.
There could be no jail sentence and
the four said they would never send
the defendant to the states prison"

DISCUSSED PROPOSED
GREAT INLAND WATERWAY
Members OF the House and President
Have conference-May Extend
Canal to Key West.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April s.
The project of great inland water
way from Boston to Key West, Fla.
was again discussed with President
Roosevelt today, members of the
House from states Interested being
present. They were Representatives
Moore, of Pennsylvania; Small OF
North Carolina; Gouldcn, OF New
York; Wagner, of Pennsylvania; Cap
ron. of Rhode Island and Burton, of
Delaware.
About week ago bill was intro.
dnced in tho House providing for n
survey for sixteen foot inland water
way from Boston to Beaufort. N. c..
Representative Moore. OF Pennsylya.
mia. recently returned from a trip
through Florida and portions of Geor-
eia. At Savannah he met Secretary
Straus, Representative Small and
Others deeply interested in the project
MIR. Moore Informed Secretary Straus
that from his investigation he believ-
cd 1t feasible to connect up the various
water way arteries so as to permit OF
vessels going from Boston to Key
West. A sixteen foot channel would
not be necessary from Beaufort. N. C.,
to Key West.
II is now proposed to amend the
bill recently introduced so as TO pro
vide for a survey of the entire Allan
tic coast as far as Key West. The
President repeated what he has so
|often declared-that he feels a deep
concern in the improvement of all
water ways In this country that will
aid In furnishing additional transpor-
tation.
