Ex-Gov. Douglas of Massachusetts, who is one of the great manufactures of shoes, has issued to members of Congress and to the shoe trade, a sec- ond argument in favor of free hides and leather. in which he says:
 The fight for free hides is a. fight for existence on the part of the indepen- dent tanners predict that, if the duties on hides and leather are contin- ned ten years longer, not only will the monopoly of the tanning industry by the Beef Trust be complete but the boot and shoe industry will then be a part of the tarin-fostered and tariff nourished Beef Trust.
 He also says: Ham not afraid of free shoes, if I can have free hides and free leather"

roads and steamship lines, and it is intimated that the ultimate purpose is to control the entire express business of New England. The road has put in a claim of between s2,000,0O0 and s. 00O, 900 against the Adams Express Go. It seems that ten-year contract be- tween the road and the express com pany exists, which allows the former 45 per cent. of the latter's gross re- ceipts.
 The amount of capital of the new express company, does not indicate an intention of covering New England; in fact, it does not seem large enough to cover the field of the railroad alone. A natural inference is that the real pur- pose is to cover the trolley field only, but that the charter is, in accordance with custom, made broad enough to cover all future possibilities. however remote.

Judge Knocks Out
 Sunday Ordinances

New York, May 28.-Judge Green baum in the Supreme Court yesterday decided that the city ordinance on Sunday performances is invalid be- causes it is in conflict with the State Penal Code, which prohibits all such entertainments. Theatres and other show places which have operated on Sunday under pretext of presenting educational productions, as 1egalized by the ordinance, cannot remain open under this construction of the law.

Absorption of Holland by Germany Is, it is said, certain in the event of a war between Great Britain and Ger many. This might mean trouble for United States. Holland holds Carri- bean islands, and their transfer to Germany might be interpreted as an infraction of the Monroe Doctrine. That Holland will. sooner or later be- come state in the German empire, is virtual certainty.

there is the usual mystery as to
who is chump enough to put up
any money for it.
But Duffek certainly started,
as he states, from Berlin last
April, for the European pictorial
weeklies carried pictures of him
in the act of starting. He says to
win his bet" all he has to do is
to walk million different ways
before going home. He had a
lovely chance to introduce a nov
city by walking across the At
lantic, but he was in something
of hurry and took a boat. He
expects to make his tour in four
years.
In regard to that, you can fig
ure it out on your cuff that he
will do well, since If he walks as
many as 40 different ways in one
day, he will walk a million differ
ent ways in $4,000 days, or about
20 years.
Anyhow, he expects to reach
San Francisco on his eyebrows
some time next spring.

have been most patient and haVe
hung to the hope that Taft would
still make good" 4
Accommodating evidence is i
gradually breaking down that 8
hope. Things like the Ballin-
ger affair have helped. Taft q
seems in all these things to
be on the anti-people side.
He begins by Endorsing AID
rich; he goes along with
plea for "party regularity" as y
of more Importance than ''re-
vision downward; he builds D
up Tawney and the Cannon >:
organization in the house of
representatives.; he recom-
mends the Wall street plan
for currency REFORM" and :
at the suggestion that the .,
Roosevelt policies be carried
out, he responds with talk of
compromise" At no time or
place does he sound the
moral note.
Such is the complaint as 1 have
heard it on my travels. And
then the people have asked me:
What does it all mean? You are
supposed to know. Tell us
frankly have we been betrayed 2"
AS to that the facts must be
the only answer. If President
Taft carries on the fight which
Roosevelt carried on, then he is
faithful to his trust. If he makes
peace with the common enemy
the man who violates the law,
whether he be rich or poor-then
the trust has been betrayed.
I have said there is a strong
under-current of dissatisfac-
ton. This is found by anyone
who cares to dip down and test
the stream. 1t is shown also on
the surface in many ways. 1t was
manifest in the GOODNESS which
marked the presidents reception.
1t has been many years since the
progress of president has been
SO family cheered.
1t was shown also by the edi-
torial tone of the western press.
Even the conservative papers in
this section have declined to go
with Taft in his white-wash of
Ballinger, his bill-of-health to
Aldrich, his o. X. of Mr.. Tawney,
and his statement that the tariff
bill is the best measure of the
sort that could be had.
Even more significant is the
disposition of the professional
politicians to trim their sails. AL
ready there are numerous republi-
cans in the house of representa-
tives who are Fastening to save
by picking Speaker
Cannon as the Jonah" of the
ship. They gladly welcome Can
nonism" as the issue, and hope
to stave off the popular storm ~
heaying Cannon overheard. They
say they will pledge themselves
to vote and work for some othef
member as next speaker. and even
to try for a revision of the
rules" IL they are nominated
and returned to congress. "a
All this is most significant. It
means that those veterans Of
public life have placed their sen
sitiye ears to the ground ana
have heard the distant rumblinga.
They are seeking shelter from
the storm.
The fight for the control of the
house of Representatives may be
said to be already on. The lead
ars see that all signs point to an
in that body. Either
the democrats will control or the
insurgents will replace
