The country is being swept today by

whatever to win against professionals
and tricks.
The economic aspect of this reform
movement appeals strongly to the bust
ness community. Millions of dollars are
annually drained from the channels Of
trade in our cities through these sluices
Of the cardroom, poolroom. and race
track. Last summer when Washington
was Kidding itself of the handbook sys-
tenn it was estimated that from five to
ten thousand dollars a day went out Of
this city as result of the habitual in
dulgence of Washingtonians of all social
grades. all ages and both sexes in this per
nicious habit OF trying to make something
out of nothing without honest effort.

Car Striking and Rioting.

: The Cleveland street car strike is fol-
lowing the traditional lines of interrupted
J traffic. public inconvenience, violence and
tragedy. This sequence OF events seems
inevitable when the employees of trac-
Stion company decide to suspend opera
tons. They undertake to execute the
strike proposition to the limit of pre-
venting any other man from taking the
place of a striker. using force if neces-
sary to demoralze substitutes and put a
complete stoppage to all traffic. Outside
OF a small circle of sympathizers. this
doctrine is not popular in the United
States today. While granting the right
: of any man to cease work when he finds
that the conditions do not justify his
continuance. the public is not disposed
to look favorably on the claim that a man
so ceasing to work for his employer has
the right to blockade the entire enter
prise by violent means in order to enforce
his demand
In tn. case of street car strike ii is
virtually inevitable. however. that the
public should suffer most heavily 1t
appears to be impossible for the managers
of strike of this character to prevent
radicals in their ranks from resortng
10 violence or reckless. irresponsible SYM
pathizers from organizing mobs to block
ade liEes and assault strikebreakers
Clearly. if street cars can be run by other
than the old employees there is no adj
vantage In ceasing work. 1t is this fact
rendering the outbreak of violence almost
a certain corollary of the institution of a
strike. which gives force to the demand
of the public that some form of adjust
ment be found to prevent these occasional
outbreaks between the corporation and
the worker.
II is easy to call for sure system of
strike prevention. but it is exceedin gly
difficult to find one. In the last analysis
good faith is the governing principle. and
1t is Impossible to find certain recipe for
that subtle commodity of human rela-
tionship. One of the great obstacles in
the way il the lack OF responsibility. II
the street car workers would oblieate
themselves reliably to accept the findings
of an arbitration court automatically in
voked whenever trouble is menaced. there
would be little dificulty. But UP to date
this obstacle has never been overcome.

The Last Week.

Can Congress finish up this week? There
is hope of it. So far as the appropriation
bills are concerned very rapid progress in
a pinch can be made on them. Some
times they are held back for the purpose
of blocking the way. Some such game
may have been played this time. Certain
it is that the majority leaders in both
the Senate and the House have thought
the eve of a presidential election a bad
period for more than the most necessary
legislation. and have urged a conservative
course. Still the session has not been one
exclusively of routine. Laws of value
have been enacted. and the record upon
the whole is good. The republicans need
not fear to meet it on the stump.

Holding the Philippines.

From the Baltimore American.
Long before the acquisition of the Phil
ippines this country was looking to the
east as its future market If II did not
possess the islands the situation in this
respect would hardly he changed an iota.
Its commercial ambitions would be as
vigorous as they now are. The menace
attending their promotion might be even
greater than under present conditions, for
had the United States no base in the east
its aggressive insistence upon participa-
ton in the benefits Of trads with China
would be looked upon by Japan with open
i'll favor. That the United States long re-
garded the east as its market is suffi-
GENTLY shown by reference to the fact
that the Hay doctrine of the open door
was enunciated and subscribed to before
the acquisition of the Philippines or the
train of circumstances that led TO their
becoming American territory. All talk of
the unloading of the islands as a means
of escaping the hazards with which the
popular magination invests their posses
sion Is nonsense.

The Tariff.

While nothing will be done during the
campaign under the two tariff resolutions
adopted by Congress on Saturday. the
action taken is good thing. 1t confirms
to the country the attitude of the party
in power on the tariff question. and Is
notice to the business world. even in ad-
vance of the deliverances of the two
national conventions. that revision is at
last on the way.
There will he plenty of time after the
:. campaign closes and before the new Con-
gress meets in extra session for the col
lection and classification of all the data
necessary in the premises The Senate
finance committee will be assisted by ex-
perts selected by itself. while the ways
and means committee will. if it SO desires,
turn In any available quarter for infor-
nation needed.
Everything now is plain enough, SO
far as the general proposition is con-
cerned. The Dingley law. having served
the purposes of it's enactment. is to be
orerhauled in the interests of fairer
adjustment of rates. BY whom shall the
work be done? BY those who believe in
the spirit of the law and would pre-
serve 1t in the new legislation, or by those
who opposed the law when enacted, on
the score that its spirit was bad. and
who would eliminate that spirit from
the economic policy of the government:
Mr. Payne says-and speaks for his
party In the statement-that the new
law should be founded on protection.
In word. the Dingley law must be
Drought up to date. Just as the policy
OF protection was followed in framing
law for the conditions that existed
In 1897. it must be followed in the
framing of a new law to meet the con-
ditions that next year will confront u.s.
Whether the times are bad or good, a
protective tariff is necessary to the we'll
being. of this country.
On the other hand. the democratic
contention is that protection as dis
tinct object is an evil. 1t is charac-
terized as the mother OF trusts ard the
source Of all our woes. We should re-
nounce ii by formal declaration. We are
told, land proceed by liberal degrees to
get rid OF 1t altogether by legislation.
AS rapidly as possible. all tariff duties
should be laid on the lowest lines, and
the country brought to the basis of
tariff for revenue only.
What say the people? The vote in
November will turn largely on this is
sue.

Dirt Flying on the Isthmus.

Secretary Tafts report of conditions in
the Canal Zone is distinctly encouraging
1t is evident that he saw material
progress when he arrived as compared
with the conditions existing when he was
there few months ago. He paints a
picture of ceaseless work along the en-
tire route of the canal and his descrip
| ton of the strip as presenting the aspect
of great succession of villages is cal
culated to appeal to the imagination OF
the American people wildly.
The Secretary Is wise in not venturing
an estimate of the length of time re-
quired to finish the canal. He says that
if it were only a matter of digging the
ditch three years would be enough.
But. as he says. there are many other
things to be taken into account. especial
ly the great locks and the immense Gatun
dam.
While the American people are in a
hurry for the completion of the canal
they are not SO impatient that they
would desire anything but the best and
most substantial work on every part of
the enterprise. 1t is we'll understood that
there are difficulties in the way of Sc
curing absolutely reliable foundations for
the locks and dams. but these difficulties
can be overcome without question through
the expenditure of enough money and the
execution of the most careful plans. This
work on the Isthmus is designed to last
for all time. and the American people can
not afford to gain anything in point of
time of construction at the expense of the
slightest degree of reliability in the work
itself.
Secretary Taft reports that the health
of the zone is excellent and the labor
conditions are greatly improved. These
are in truth the two great problems of
canal construction. The French failed
in their enterprise on the Isthmus largely
because they did not solve the health
problem. 1t is true that the French were
also handicapped heavily by the wasteful
extravaganza which marked every phase
of the work and finally increased the
financial burden until it became too heavy
to be borne. But even with the most
economical management no such progress
could ever have been scored by the
French company as that which has
marked the American assumption OF the
enterprise unless the sanitary situation
had been mastered as 1t Is today.

Nixon.

What has Leader Murphy of Tammany
Hall in store for Lewis Nixon? Three
honors are mentioned: The second place
on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan. the nomi-
nation for Governor of New York. and
that for mayor of Greater New York.
Mr. Nixon is now abroad. and may see
Richard Croker before he returns. He Is
not a politician. but the sort of man Tam
many sometimes finds use for. Still. his
nomination for one of the three places
suggested would be a confession of pow
erty by the New York democracy. A re-
spectable man of business is hardly a hit
offering for a great party confronting
such a political situation as now exists.
