Taxing signboards.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Senator Hepburn has a little amend
ment to the tariff bill which he thinks
will fill long-felt want in the national
Treasury. He proposes to tax all adver-
tising signs cents a square foot per
annum. This is partly for revenue and
partly in the hope of restoring the seen
cry to its natural state. We have much
sympathy with the idea. though filed
with some doubts as to its practicability.
Something ought to be done, or most ur-
ban people will lose all remembrance of
green fields and shady trees On the
whole. we think the signs should 90 even

The PLAY as Tonic,

Before Judge Taft entered the White
House it was stated he had not witnessed
a play in twenty years Since then he
has visited the theater almost weekly.
OF course. he has been entertained and
refreshed. It is now, as when the ia
nous declaration vas first made-the
pays the thing. There are, of course,
plays and plays. The stage today has
its black spots. But the representative
press is very outspoken on the subject,
and the public is well advised OF where
to go for wholesome dramatic entertain
ment. Mr. Lincoln found the theater
very helpful in his days Of oficial care,
and President Taft seems disposed to en-
ploy II 20 assist him with his burden.

Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Dickinson.

Mr. Bryan, in the Commoner, questions
the democracy OF Secretary of War Dick
inscn. Well, turn about is fair play. Mr..
Dickinson. for some years. has questioned
the democracy of Mr.. Bryan. He has
never supported him for the presidency.
and never will. AS long az Mr.. Bryan
holds out to burn. Mr.. Dickinson will
never return. That is a certainty The
two men have nothing in common polit-
ically.
But is Mr. Dickinson likely to return at
all? How can he by 1912. whether Mr..
Bryan leads the democracy then or not?
The Taft administration will be on trial
that year, and Mr.. Dickinson will have
helped to make the republican record
He will Of course stand with his asso-
ciates In opposition to any ticket the
democratic party nominates. II Mr..
Bryan is again the democratic candidate
the greater will be Mr.. Dickinson's duty
and pleasure to oppose him. But any other
candidate carrying the democratic ban
ner and supported by Mr.. Bryan will be
challenge to those with whom Mr..
Dickinson will then be. as he now is. in
brotherly association in the responsible
tiles of ONCE.
In discussion of this subject several
months ago. The Star cited the case Of
Judge Gresham. who went over from the
republicans to the democrats In 1892 and
accepted a place in Mr. Cleveland's cab
met. He died before Mr.. Cleveland's term
ended. and therefore 1t is but guesswork
to place him in 1895. But 1t is likely that
he would have stood with HIS chief and
his cabinet colleagues against Mr.. Bryan.
For Mr.. Bryan that year denounced the
Cleveland record In Office, and that de-
nunciation included Judge Gresham's part
OF the record.
On the other hand, if the democracy
had not divided in 1895. but had placed
in nomination a man In agreement with
Mr.. Cleveland and what he had done
In the White House. Judge Gresham
would have been in honor bound to sup
port him. 1t would have mattered moth
ing that Gen. Harrison. who was largely
responsible for Judge Gresham's support
Of Mr.. Cleveland, was no longer a factor
in republican affairs. and that Mr.. Nc
Kinley. II nominated In 1892. would prob-
ably have kept Judge Gresham in line.
The overruling fact that Judge Gresham
had accepted ONCE from democratic
President, and thus had helped to pre-
pare the democratic platform, would have
determined his status for that campaign.
There are many men calling themselves
democrats who question Mr.. Bryans
democracy quite as vigorously, and al
most as openly, as Mr.. Dickinson. They
consider him a populist, and deplore the
hold he has obtained upon the organiza-
tion to which they are greatly attached.
But. unlike Mr.. Dickinson. they cling
to the party name. voting for policies of
which they do not approve. and for
man whose success at the polls they
would deplore. Mr.. Dickinson's is the
bolder and more practical course. He
supports what he believes in. and CO.
operates with those who. in the main,
are. doing what he thinks Is best for
the country.
