ssIf the ostrich like leaders OF the re-
publican members of the house are
permitted by the rank and file OF that
body to continue with their heads bu-
ried in the sand on the tariff revision
matter the party might as well bid the
government goodbye and 60 off on a

markedly patient in accepting the re-
peated declarations of the politicians
in convention assembled that the tariff
ought to be revised by its friends. Of
whom they are which, and there is a
probability they may be inclined to
accept at it's face value the promise to
revise it next year. But there is
limit to human credulity, and If the

Mayor Andrews of Mankato has
thrown a bomb into the ranks of the

vent Sunday baseball playing. He
holds that Sunday games are unlaw-

Fairbanks I alks Sense.

In his speech at Chicago recently
Vice President Fairbanks took occa-
sion to antagonize President Roose-
velt's plea for a large navy, saying:
tive hear much of the need for a
large navy and large army. We all
agree that we should provide ade-
quately for the national defense. The
money necessary to this end should be
freely expended, but beyond our rea-
sonable needs we should not go. Our
national tranquility is not menaced
from without, nor is our domestic
peace threatened from within. The
skies bend benignantly above US. Our
people are enamoured of their insti-
tutions and are eager only TO win the
trophies that are to be found in the
fruitful fields of peaceful industry.
II would rather see the people spend
their money in building up great
schools, colleges and universities,
churches and cathedrals than see them
spend unduly for expanding armies
and navies. The armies of young men
and young women who are trained in
schools, colleges and universities are
the armies which are destined to win
the victories of the future which shall
most dignity and glorify American
achievement. They are the armies of
peace, and, in the final analysis, the
armies of our enduring national Sc
curity. They are the creators, and
not the consumers, of the nation S
wealth and resources.
"War appeals to the heroic. We
have looked upon it's honorable scars
and we know what it is. The annual
pension roll of $3.50, 900, 900 tells some
thing of the suffering and havoc which
war has caused. I have faith to be-
lieve that Christian civilization is lay
ing securely the foundations of domes-
tic and international tranquility, and
that an appeal to reason among men
will more and more render less neces-
sary an appeal to the sword. We
must not introduce into our American
civilization the pomp and pageantry
of European military and naval estab-
lishments. We have frequently heard
men undertake to justify an increase
of the army on the ground that the Or
ganization of workingmen into large,
compact bodies was possible source
of danger. There is, it seems to me,
no possible justification for such a
suggestion. It is an unwarranted i'm
parchment Of the patriotism Of the
great body Of the American people.
The workingmen of America are
friends, and not enemies, of the gov
eminent, and will respond when there
is national peril, as they have done in
every emergency which has confronted
US. They are the friends, and not the
enemies, of good order.
II would rather see the people spend
their money in building up great
schools, colleges and universities,
churches and cathedrals than see them
spend unduly for expanding armies
and navies,'

For Shame!

In the house of representa-
John Sharp Williams, the democratic
leader, issued challenge to Mr..
Payne, the republican leader. Shak-
ing his forefnger at Mr.. Payne, Mr..
Williams said: s'Here [ stand. l
stand to challenge you that every
dollar that goes into a campaign fund
shall be published to the world the
day after it is received SO that the
world may know the motive of the
giver and may judge the means Of
corruption in the hands of the reci-
pient." Referring to this incident,
Henry Watterson, writing in the
Louisville Courier Journal, says:
f'The silence that followed could be
beard three thousand miles. It could
be heard from Buzzard's Bay to
Crater Lake-from the Dome of the
Capitol on the Potomac to the Lick
Observatory in Santa Clara valley
as Mr.. Payne, tired Of leading the
majority, sank helplessly into the
abyss of confession, daring not to &C.
cept the challenge. That single pass
age tells the whole story. Never
mind the past, said Mr.. Williams;
the presidential rape of 1875; the crisp
new two dollar bills and blocks of
five, of 1880; Belshazzar's feast, in
1884; the wholesale bribery and spolia-
ton of 1896 and 1900 and 1904, when
widows and orphans were plundered
to make q Mckinley and Roosevelt
holiday! Never mind the denials and
the proof of guilt Never mind the
stealing, the lying and the hypocrisy
that have been! Let bygones be by
cones! What do you say to the
future? What will you do now?' And
poor Payne could utter never a word.
Nor, in all that house full of repub-
licans was there one voice brave
enough, one heart honest enough, to
shout back in defance-to call Mr..
Williams hand-'We will pass the
publicity bill here and now' Shame
upon the republican party; shame up
on it's leaders: shame, shame, shame!"
