Tariff revision, by the extra session
of congress called to redeem the pledge
of the Republican party, turns out to
be a failure and a fraud. Notwith-
standing President Taft's optimistic
| belief that 'Something has been gain
ed for downward revision.' the pledge
has not been kept. The placing OF
hides and oil on the free list, and the
reduction Of duties on a certain num-
Der of articles, while on a larger mum
Der the duties have been advanced, is
not the kind of revision the people
were led to expect.
Many a member of congress, who
permitted the whip and spur Of the
Republican organization to drive him
into voting for the bill, goes home to
curse his foley, as he faces an angry,
sneering constituency and an excellent
prospect of retirement to private life.
Very likely, too, he will next year
have the modification of knowing
that he has contributed to destroy
the ascendency of the party in the
house.
The wretched miscarriage of the
session, the violation of party faith,
the havoc wrought in individual re-
putatiOns, and the imminent loss of
Republican control in the house-all
might have been avoided had Joe
Cannon not been reelected speaker.
To the initial error of his reelection
must be attributed all the evil that
has followed. 1t was then decided
that the reactionaries who had band
ed tOgeather to defeate the nomina-
tion of Taft-not those who support
ed him on account of his supposed
dentifcation with the Roosevelt
polices-should control the legisla-
tion of the session.
There we're a few, like Fred G.
Stevens, who really believed the
speaker would deal honestly with the
revision sentiment Of the country.
There were many others who cared
more for the favor of the speaker-as
something indispensable if they
would not be reduced to the position
of mere ciphers on the floor and in
committee they did for the
honor of the party o. the welfare OF
the country. But whatever theil
motive, they again elected as speaker
a thoroughly discredited mana man
as notorious for his subserviency tC
predatory interests, and for his
antagonism to the Roosevelt policies,
as he was for the responsiveness of his
manners.
The defeat of Cannon would have
served notice upon the senate that
the Republican party organization ad.
hered to the policies of the last admin.
istratiOn and to the pledges
of it's platform. Thought more
senators would have lined up with
those who companioned Nelson and
Clapp in their "insurgency' to have

THE INITIAL ERROR.

NONISM AND HIS DUPLICITY AND
HIS FRIENDS.

forccd upon the. Aldrich crew the
downward
But Cannon. once more Gin the
saddle" and made more arrogant than
ever by this last conquest over national
repulsion and the better sense of the
house, proceeded to pack the ways
and means committee against any
honest revision. The fact that the
appointment OF all other committees,
, except that on rules, was deferred to
the regular session, left whip in his
hand, to be cracked over the head of
any member who showed signs of in
| dependence. His power was used at
every emergency to keep recalcitrant t
members in line until the wretched
Payne bill was passed And when the
even more wretched Aldrich bill was
presented as an alternative, the con-
ference committee was again packed
by him in the interest of the highest
schedules. The bill, as it has finally
passed, is really more the work of
Cannon than of any one else.
The incident Of the increased duty
on gloves shows Cannon in his most
characteristic attitude as a servant of
predatory interests. Mr.. Littauer of
New York, is probably the greatest
manufacturer of gloves in the coun-
try. Although not member of the
present house, he had been member
for ten years preceding. At and be-
fore the convening of the extra ses-
sion he was extremely active in work
ing for the reelection Of Cannon and
the readoption Of the Cannon rules.
In reciprocity, 1T is said that he
claimed and was allowed the privi-
lege of himself writing the glove
schedule of the Payne bill! He was
constantly on the floor of the house,
up to the passage Of that bill, work
ing in the interest of high protection.
When the glove schedule in the SEN
conscience of Aldrich, it was pared
down. Then in violation of all pre-
cedent, and at Cannon's desire, Lit
tauer was admitted to the room of
the conference committee to argue
| for the schedule in its original form!
| When congressman returning home,
find that Cannon has led them into a
political brier patch, the instinct of
self-preservation may perhaps lead
them to works Of repentance and res
titution. Already there are indica-
tions that some even now realize the
gravity of their mistake In support
ing Cannon. 1t needs, we believe,
but that something less than score
of members should join the insur-
gents who voted against him, to in
sure his deposition from the speakers S
chair. If this is done, the harm
| wrought may be repaired, genuine re-
| vision may be secured, and the repub-
lican party may be rehabilitated in
the respect of the country.-St. Paul

year. The question ariZes, "What
can be done to reduce the expenSe"'
Something can be accomplished by
arranging the farm work so as to Sc
cure more steady employment for the
horses. Obviously, if the farm horse
could be made to work six instead Of
three hours per day the cost per year
would be reduced so per cent. While
something may be done in this direc-
tion, it is evident that even under
the best management farm horses
must be idle good part of the year.
There is only one practical way of
reducing the cost of horse labor on
the farm, and that is by using mares
instead of geldings to do the work
The mares should be required to raise
colts each year and for this purpose
heavy draft mares should be EN- ployed.
They should be bred to good draft
stations so the colts will sell readily
at good prices. If you employ five
mares to do your work and you breed
them all, you may expect from three
to four colts each season, and they
will pay the entire cost Of keeping
the mares. In other words, such a
system would enable you to reduce
the cost of your farm power to a
minimum. Isn't it essential that
this should be done? Isn't it worth
while to save from $500 to S4OO year
in this way, especially since there is
no other way at present to reduce the
cost of horse labor?
If you use large mares you will find
that they will Go all the work re-
quired of them and still raise good
colts. Many farmers are prejudiced
against brood mares, claiming that
they cannot do as much work as
geldings. These prejudices. however,
are not well founded, and they exist
principally in the minds Of those who
have not tried to raise colts in earnest;
that is they have ncJ provided the
proper facilities for caring for the
colts and consequently colt raising
has meant a good deal of unnecessary
bother and in fact, has been a nuisance
AS with other stock, one must be
prepared to care for the colts. They
should never be allowed to follow the
teams when at work, but yard, or
better still small pasture, should
be provided for them where they can
eat, romp and play while the mares
are at work.
