BLAMES OWN PARTY
SENATOR ALDRICH UNWITTiNG-
LY CRITlCISES REPUBLICANS.
Senate Leader Shows Up the Criminal
Extravaganza of the Majority
During a Time of Business
Depression.

The hardest knock the Republican
party has received in many a day is
the assertion by Senator Aldrich, in
his opening tariff speech, that the last
congress appropriated out of the treas
ury $4,000, 900 of the peoples
money thar was necessary.
Sparing his party, Mr.. Aldrich does
not add that this was done in a time
Of general business depression, while
thousands of wage-earners we're out of
employment and the receipts of the
treasury were running behind its eX-
penditures at the rate Of some $15,000,-
900 a month.
Senator Aldrich does not rub in
upon his party the hard and hurting
truth that, while people of all condi-
lions were forced to resort to many
unaccustOmed economies and men of
large wealth were compelled to cut
their personal and family expenses in
half, the Republican congress ex-
ceeded all previous records of extrav.
agance.
A few years ago, on the basis of
government recklessly administered q
billion of dollars suficed for the ap-
preparations of two years. The last
congress went beyond the billion mark
In it's appropriations for n year, and
now comes the Republican leader of
the senate declaring, in a cold finan-
cial statement, that full five per cent.
of the sum was unnecessary, ever un-
der the high pressure at which the
Republican president and the Repub.
lican congress were driving the gov
eminent at Washington.
Honest confession, we all know, is
said to be good for the soul, but in or.
der to bear fruit it must be accom-
panied by repentance. But of repent
for past financial sins against the
people there is no sign in Senator
Aldrich's speech nor in the tariff
schedules with which he replies to the
wide public demand for less burden
some tariff taxes. On many of the
necessaries of life he leaves the
outrageous Dingley taxes untouched,
while in the complete list of things
classed as necessaries the reduction
from the Dingley rates is only a small
fraction of n per cent.
Evidently the aim of the Republican
senate leader has been to make the
new tariff as nearly prohibitive as pos
sible. instead of bringing it down to the
revenue-producing level desired by the
president.
With such financial policies it is
not surprising to hear from Mr.. AL
the expression of belief that the
Panama bonds cannot
much longer be sold at par unless the
interest on them is raised from two
per cent. to three per cent. The credit
of no government could long survive
such financial management as the Re.
publican party has been giving it. In
Senator Aldrich's speech the Repub-
lican party is bitterly, though not in
tentionally, damned by it's own leader.

The Old Guard and the Tariff.

Never before in the history of the
Republican party have the leaders of
that organization in congress been
subjected to such a fire as is now
concentrated on them from within
their own ranks. The sO-called Gin
surgents' in congress are not very
numerous, but they are right, and,
therefore, they have significant po-
tentialities. When it comes to sim
cere tariff revision as distinguished
from sham revision, these insurgents"
have the support of a number of mem
bers who have not been identified
with them on other issues. They also
have a far heavier and stronger back
ing throughout the country than has
appeared on the surface. Thousands
of petitions have been submitted to
congress by various members, but
they have merely gone into the record
without comment, save in a few in.
stances.
There are some facts that the Old
Guard of high protection cannot evade.
They cannot get away from the
pledges of the party to make the tariff
practically. equal to the difference be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad. They cannot get around
the fact that such an adjustment
would mean a general downward re-
vision. They cannot ignore the fact
that the demand for tariff revision has
arisen from the excessive cost of liv.
ing. They must, therefore, face the
fact that any revision that Ices not re-
duce the cost of living will not be the
kind of revision that the people de-
mand, have been promised and have a
right to expect.
That is to say, these things cannot
be done by the Old Guard without
putting their party in the position of
f~lagrantly breaking faith with the peo-
pie. Neither can the do these things
without going contrary to the pledges
of President Taft Kansas City Star.

stories Alicia told him OF Guy Vsrnon's
ill-treatment and neglect Of her. But
she had omitted TO mention that she
had squandered half Of Guy Vernon's
fortune within the FIRST three years OF
their married life, and had conlpro.
missed herself with at least half-a-dozen
men since her marriage. True, also,
that Alicia and Sir Percy were at q
lonely post among the hills on the
Afghan frontier, and that he and Guy
vernon's wife had been thrown to-
gether in ar intimacy impossible any
where else on the face of the globe.
True, again. was It that Alicia ver-
mons battery had been insidious be-
yond words. Money was what she had
heretofore required more than anything
else on earth except the enslavement
or men. Sir Percy's fortune. however
was only 2 modest patrimony, which
would scarcely have suficed FOR six
months for what Alicia Vernon con-
sidered her actual needs.
As she had in reality seduced Sir
Percy's honor, so. in a way, was she
herself seduced by his powerful intel
ligerce, by his brilliance and
by his success. which, with
a woman's prescience, she <eit
sure was only the presage Of
greater things. She Inherited from her
father a clear and trenchant mind, and
h readily foresav that the time
would come when this young Indian
civil servant would be heard of by all
his world. She, however. was his first
courtier.
It was impossible that a m so
gifted, so complex, SO courageous as
Alicia Vernon should not have at least
n virtue in excess. That was her
love for her father. False she was to
him in many ways. but true she ever
was in love OF him. BY the exercise

General Talbot believe her the purest,
the most injured woman alive. He
always called her my poor Alicia"
and hated her husband with a mortal
hatred, thinking him to have injured
the gentlest Il sweetest of women.
Sir Percy's infatuation for Alicia
Vernon lasted but a few months, and.
through Alicia's woman's wit. was
unsupported by the world, least of all
by General Talbot, who adored his
daughter. Then Sir Percy awoke once
more to honor, n pitied the woman
and hated himself for the brief down
fall.
1t is not every man who beats his
breast and throws ashes on his head
who fs a true penitent. But no man
felt bitterer remorse for his wrong
doing than did Sir Percy Carlyon. He
applied the same Judgment to himself
that he did to other men. and while
reckoning his fault at its fun wicked
ness, also reckoned that sincere peni-
tence was not entirely worthless. He
had lived his life to hat time of re-
morse In cheerful ignorance and a si-
lent defiance of the Great First cauee:
but upon the darkness of his soul stole
a ray of light. He began to believe
a little in a personal God. a father, a
judge and a sehoolmaster who required
justice and obedience of mankind. Sir
Percy became secretly a religious man.
He did not go to church any oftener
than before. O did he take refuge in
Bible texts. but the prayer of the pub
lican was often in his heart, God be
merciful to me a sinner"
