POIiCQ| Comment.
End of Tariff Troubles.

President Taft has issued a state
ment in relation to the new tariff act,
saying that, while the law is disap-
pointing in some respects, still he
regards it as a practical fulfillment
OF the general pledge upon the part
of Republicans to revise the tariff
downward. Of course, the President
knows that the party as a party was
only pledged to revise the tariff. The
downward part of the revision was
inferred. 1t was a rather reasonable
inference, inasmuch as nearly all
those who had been demanding re-
vision had a downward revision in
mind. The Presidents view in regard
to the new tariff is not in harmony
with the insurgent view. which says
the tariff bill is wholly unsatisfactory.
We ought to qualify this statement
by saying that only a part of the in
surgents held out in opposition to the
bill. A large number of them voted
for it.
The Presidents address to the coun-
try will have great weight and will
do much toward dismissing the tariff
as subject of debate. For few
years, at any rate, it will be impos.
sible for the free traders of Detroit
and the selfish men of New England
to unite with Foss. Whitney and Van
Cleave in a demand for a revisisa
Special interests which have been
benefited will not want a revision
Foss and Van Cleave will secure
cheaper iron ore. therefore they will
not be in the agitation. New England
secured cheaper hides and will make
greater profit on boots and shoes
consequently New England will sub
side. We do not exactly see who 1t is
that can keep up the agitation.

not in favor of continuing the fight

FIRST HAT WORN IN EUROPE.

Charles VII AstOnished the People
of ROuen by His HeadEear.
1t is related of Charles VII that on
his triumphant entry into Rouen in
1449 he greatly astonished the whole
city by appearing in hat lined with
red silk and surmounted by a plume
of feathers. 1t was the first time the
citizens had ever seen a hat. From
this entry of Charles into Rouen the
beginning of the custom of wearing
hats in Europe is dated. 1t was all
very well for the rich citizen to fol-
low the example of royalty. but when
the clergy began to sigh for similar
splendor it was regarded as a falling
away from grace. Priests or religious
persons, says the London Chronicle,
were at last forbidden to appear
abroad in anything except ''chaperons,

Presidents Record Clear

President Taft's record on special
taxes is entirely clear and consistent.
He has favored more liberal use of
the power of direct taxation. He was
originally of the opinion that the SUI
preme Court would reverse its deci-
sion on the income tax if another in
come tax law should be submitted TO
it for Interpretation. Recently he has
become satisfied that it would be a
breach of that comfy which should
rule between the different departments
of the Federal government, for the ex
ecutive and the legislative depart
ments to assume that the judicial de-
partment would reverse itself. We be-
lieve that conclusion to be sound, and
that it will be heartily approved by
the country. Determining, therefore,
to ask Congress to submit a constitu-
tional amendment TO the States. re-
lieving the Federal government of the
limitations on its taxing power so far
as direct taxes not apportioned among
the States according to population are
concerned, Mr.. Taft has had to fall
back on the two other forms of direct
taxation now obviously in conflict
with court decisions-the excise tax
on corporation profits and the inherit
ance tax He has recommended both
of these to the Republican leaders in
Congress. The House of Representa-
tives preferred the inheritance tax to
the corporation tax. The Senate de-
clined to accept the inheritance tax,
because nearly all the States now de-
pend for considerable portion of
their revenues on taxes on inherit
ances. 1t was entirely natural and
proper. therefore, that when tae Sen
ate's determination to levy some other
direct tax than the inheritance tax
became apparent, the President should
recall his earlier recommendation of
corporation dividend tax.-New York
