WILL BRYAN READ THEM oUT7

Some days ago Representative
Clark. of Florida, Democrat. made a
speech In Congress favoring a pro-
tectiye tariff. Mr.. Bryan says IL
Congressman Clark can't represent
his people he should resign and let
his constituents elect another man.
IL Mr.. Bryan proceeds to read every
Democrat out of the party who has
deserted the Denver platform. he Will
not have enough left within the ranks
to form a corporal's guard. How
ever, there are some Of their So
called leaders that we hope Mr.. Bry-
an will not force out OF the Demo
cratic party, for then they might
want to join the Republican party,
and they could do the Republican
more good by staying in the Demo
cratic party. True. Republicans are
always anxious for recruits, but they
do not want any recruits that would
try to divert them from the paths oil

JOHNSON'S LIGHTNING ROD.

Governor John Johnson, of Mime
sofa, who was receptive candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency last year, Is now "ro-
mancing around" in the South with
his Presidential lightning rod at full
mast. The Governor has cancelled
engagements for a lecturing tour
through the West in order to come
South at this time. He has spent
last several days in Virginia, and
will visit towns throughout the
Southern States. The Governor has
told newspaper correspondents that
he is highly pleased with the South
and its people, and you can read be-
tween the lines that he is making a
bid for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency next time. In
fact, it was only a few days ago that
some Southern paper was urging that
Mr.. johnson should be nominated by
the Democrats next time. He may
have seen said article and cancelled
his Western engagements and come
South at this time in order to help
disseminate the johnson sentiment u

LAND FOR "OLD MAIDS"
New England Takes Up Problem OF
Its 100000 Struggling Women.

To solve the problem of what to do
with the 100000 spinsters and wild
ows of Massachusetts, who can never
hope to marry, owing to the scarcity
of men in this State, threescore prom
inent business and professional wom-
en- of Greater Boston have formed an
organization for the purpose of win
ming State aid in getting small tracts
of land near large cities, where the
women can engage in profitable ag-
ricultura1 enterprise.
The Women's Massachusetts Home
stead Association plans to encourage
the many thousands of women of all
ages who are forced to struggle to
gain a livelihood, to take up the cul-
tivation of small plots of land in the
suburbs and raise flowers, herbs,
plants, mushrooms, Strawberries, veg
etables, squads, chickens, bees and
pigs.
To achieve this end the association
wants the commonwealth to buy
facts of land wherever available, d.
vide this land into acre lots, and then
through commission, supply women
particularly spinsters-who would
like to engage in such pursuits with
share of the land. If the State is
not willing to furnish the land free,
then the association asks that it take
a mortgage on land bought by phi
lanthropists. develop this land. build
cheap, comfortable homes, barns. and
| outhouses on it, and then furnish the
necessary implements for euItivatine
| the soil.
A wealthy New York woman has
become interested in the project, and
it is announced that she is coming to
Massachusetts, in June to investigate
and that she will spend from $780,.
900 to 100000 if the cause appeals
to her in buying land for struggling

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.

The Democratic members OF Con- |
gress, as well as the Democratic
press OF the country has said much
IN regard to revising the tariff, and
their much talking and writing has
been in abuse OF the tariff bill pro-
posed by Payne and Aldrich. Their
abuse would carry more weight il
they had only framed tariff bill, re-
vising some of the schedules down.
ward, introduced It in Congress, and
thereby gone on record as to the kind
OF a tariff bill they really favored.
AS the matter now stands there Is
danger that some of the schedules in
the tariff bill will be too high; and,
mind you, the Republicans will not
be altogether to blame. Many of the
Democratic Congressman are begging
for a high tariff on certain commod-
tiles produced in their sections and
apparently are willing for the re-
vision to be upward on practically
everything else il they can only have
high tariff on certain Commodities
produced In their sections. II this
kind of game goes on extensively,
the tariff bill, when passed, will con-
tain the highest schedules Of any bill
ever passed by Congress. OF course
1t is necessary to have the rates high
enough to insure enough revenue tC
run the government and to protect
home Industries against cheap labor
but the rates should not be so higf
as to be prohibitive, as this would
reduce the revenue instead of in
creasing it.
II the Democrats would join thu
Republicans who favor a revision
downward Of some of the schedule
that are too high, then such bill
could be passed, but IL they vot
with the other advocates, as it nov
appears that many of them will dc
then there Is danger that some o
the schedules will be TOGO high whel
ihe bill is finally passed
The New York Tribune, comment
ing on the position of the Democrat
on the tariff, says:
eff the Democrats in Congress ha
to frame and pass a tariff bill tn
extra session would last till the sno'
flies. The Democratic leaders in tn
House and Senate were saved from
summer of torment when Mr.. Brya
was beaten last year for the Pres
idency"
Even if the Republicans should nc
pass an ideal tariff bill the Democrat
will not be in a position to max
any capital out of the situation, fo
as usual, they have thrown ava
their opportunity. We yet hay
hopes that the bill will be properl
amended before it is passed. w
mean that we are hoping a tariff bi
will be passed that will make til
schedules high enough to raise sufl
cient revenue and to protect hon
industries and at the some time n.
high enough to work any hardshi
upon the consumers.

If EXCESSIVE RATES ARE NOT
REDUCED.

The Washington Post in writing
on President Taft's attitude toward
the tariff bill as 1t now stands, says:
I'VE believe that President Taft
will veto the tariff bill IL 1t be not
impartial as between the consumer
and the manufacturer He may not
stick at details and he may bear in
mind the disturbance and uncertainty
that would result from a veto; but II
the pledge of an honest and genuine
revision of the tariff is not observed
by Congress-if excessive rates are
not reduced-its work, in our opin
ion, will go for naught."
