Senator Oummins, Tariff Program.

benaVOf Oummlns IaflI1 Program,
Senator Cummins Of Iowa has out.
lined at Chicago a tariff program which
may be taken to be the program Of the
~so-called republican insurgents. In
stating his position, aside from justify
ing his refusal to vote for the tariff bill
because dissatisfied with certain sched-
points.
First and foremost, he disclaims
%voicing any demand for the immediate
%reopening Of the tariff for general re-
vision. In his opinion such steps would
produce no results seriously different
from those already obtained. A tariff
commission which will ascertain and
make known the relative cost of differ
ent articles here and abroad is first
needed to make possible more intelli-
gent action on the tariff within the pro-
%tective principle which should safe
guard against foreign competitors en-
%joying advantages of labor and ma
terial cost. Senator Cummins would
have this commission take up a few
branches Of industry at a time and re-
port findings so that congress might
raise or lower the particular schedule
affected to conform to the require
ments of adequate protection.
Secondly, Senator Cummins wants it
distinctly understood that he, and
those who believe with him, will work
with republicans and not with demo-
Gratis. Unsatisfactory as the present
tariff is to him, he regards it immeas-
urably better than n tariff which the
democrats could have formulated along
lines of free trade or revenue
only, because the rejection of the
protective principle would under
mine our whole industrial fabric.
In other words, a high protection re-
publican looks better to Senator Cum
minis than a free trade democrat. The
significance Of this declaration should
not be lost on republicans, to whom
the democrats hold out delusive bait
to catch republican votes for demo-
cratic candidates.
Senator Cummins' speech at Chicago
shows that while some real differences
of opinion exist within republican
ranks, they are neither so serious nor
so wide that they must stop the for
ward march of the party in construc-
tive legislation. The fact is that
President Taft, who speaks for the
whole party rather than one element
Of 1t, has outlined a not dissimilaI
course. The president has favored a
tariff commission from the start and
has practically said hat he would use
the board Of experts, provided for in
the tariff law, to procure much of the
information which a fully empowered
tariff commission would be expected t.
compile. He has said, further, thai
he does not believe in continuous tariff
tinkering, but rather in periodic re
vision to conform to changing condi
tions, and that the next revision wher
it comes ought to be made in the lighr
OF more scientific and more accurate
measurements of cost differences herr
and abroad.
If the so-called insurgents accep
the program laid out by Senator Cum
minis it is safe to say they will be fol
lowing President Taft most of the time

The Marvellous West.

To the host of people east OF the
A~lleghenies who never visit the west,
and particularly to the millions whose
horizon is ordinarily limited
by the Hudson, every big nan who
returns from a trip through the United
States proves a missionary for the ma
ton. New Workers profess to be
astonished at nothing, yet when they
hear from Mr.. Mackay, for instance,
that the stay-at-home fastener al
have no comprehension of the growth
and development OF this western coun-
try, and that western cities are modern
marvols to American courage, faith,
skill, all except seasoned citizens of the
world are astonished.
Good wine needs no bush, and the
west has grown beyond the necessity
of banners Of self-exploitation. yet it
is pleasant to know that while we of
the west are working out our destiny,
our heads unturned by the laudation
of the guests going home from our
gates with tales of our marvels, the
leaders in finance and commerce Of the
Atlantic seabOard are from time to
time awaking their people 70 a realiza-
ton Of the magnificent progress OF the

At him with merry quip and jest;
I'd say, Your chin needs wiping off
And tell him to pull down his vest;
And that-yes, brother, that was when

Yet ! was walking idly then;
He drove behind a trotting horse.
/ used to say that it was sad
Because he could not live in town,
Where things were always bright and glaC
And care an easy thing to drown.
And even then he had a phone
To chat with ~neiRhbors far or near,
My slugs into the slot were thrown
A hired receiver at my ear.
Yet, none the less, l pitied him

Where he was shown all lank and slim,
with whlskers like the wind-tossed sage
Well, when I'd got a horse to drive.
1t gave me something Of a jar
To have him whizz past in his five
with six guests in the roomy car.
And so / hold my head and think
OF all the Jokes I used to make.
or how ia nod my head and wink
And speak Of him as Country Jake!'
Why. when I've saved my scanty dimes
And bought an auto-'tis in vain
To dream upon those coming times
For then he'll have an aeroplane!
So, here's to you, my farmer friend
There never was a "Rube" or ST.

That mocks and o~Verwhelms us thus.
Though in our little jokes discussed,

Won Distinction by Gallant Service
I'm War.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript,
AT the opening of the civil war there
was a great demand for experienced Of
ficers for the Union army, in answer to
which many foreigners who had held
commissions or were holding rnem in Euro
pean armies flocked hither. Almost every
nation Of any military consequence was
represented in this influx. Germans,
Italians, Frenchmen, Poles, Englishmen,
Scotchmen and Irishmen sought appoint
ment and many were successful in their
search. Armies and traditions hostile to
one another contributed. There were those
in the Union service who had followed
G~aribaldi and there were some who had
served in the Papal army, OF all forces
the most abhorred by Italian patriots.
Among the graduates Of the Papal service
we're at least two Union officers destined
to distinctions Of widely different kinds,
Captain Keogh who died with Custer was
one, and General John y. Coppinger who
expired at Washington last night was an
other. Each was a represe yrative OF the
Catholic gentry Of ireland, a class which
furnished a contingent of the Pope's de-
Tenders. After the defeat OF the Papal
army by the %Sardinians at Castel Fidardo,
the career was closed TO most of these
officers and they sought sSa vice elsewhere
OF put away the swords they had drawn
only for a cause.
Genera Coppinger owed his appoint
ment in our army to the good will OF
Archbishop Hughes. He was an excellent
officer who rose steadily by dlnt of gall
liant service in war and faithful discharge
Of duty in peace. AS son-in-law to Mr.,
Blaine he possessed an interest for the
public which his military caaracter might
not have earned for him. This relationship
was the occasion Of many legends which
did injustice TO Mr.. Blaine and to General
Coppinger, The public took IL into its head
that General COppinger owed his promi-
hence and promotion to Blaine influence,
whereas he did not attain his highest
rank until two years after MI. Blains's
death, and the promotion was conferred
by President Cleveland. General Coppinger
seems 10 have earned and deserved the
reputation expressed IN the characterization
"a good officer"

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.
A Turkish Protest and What Game
of IL.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The attempt of certain naturalization
bureau officials to place Turks and
Syrians in the prohibited Monaghan clas-
sification has resulted in an amusing in
t~erchange between the Turkish legation
and the State department. The Ottoman
charge d'affaires lost no time in filing
a protest against the exclusion of his
countrymen. To which the State depart
ment retorts that this government for
years has been and still is vainly trying
to have Turkey recognize American nat
uralization of Turkish subjects. In other
words, Turkey is now revealed in the un-
tenable position of protesting against our
refusal to issue papers which it declines
to recognize when issued.
Aside from this humorous feature the
State department promptly refers the
question to where it belongs, the courts,
There can be little doubt upon their de-
cision that the Mongolian prohibition APP
plies only to those to whom it was in
tended to apply, the races that inhabit
China. But out OF the controversy, the
Intervention OF Turkey and the change of
administration in that country. II is not
unlikely that a naturalization treaty may
now be secured by which the rights OF
American citizens of Syrian or Armenian
birth will be recognized in the Ottoman
empire.

The talk about the United States having

the truth. There is not an important crop
from wheat to cotton, the yield OF which

The fact of the matter is that intensive

Our old friend, Edgar Howard, piles
up a small mountain of bouquets for
three democrats to whom he says be-
longs the credit for the magnificent
campaign waged in behalf of the de-
feated nonpartisan democratic ticket,
these three being the chairman, vice
chairman and secretary Of the demo-
cratic state committee. We fear
Judge Howard has let his mOdesty
overcome him because he should, in all
fairness, have thrown the biggest posy
bunch at himself. The slyest trick
turned for the fake nonpartisans was
that bogus circular, which was o n
structed on a truly clever pattern, and
although there is no evidence to indi-
cate that Judge Howard had a thing
to do with It, certain earmarks give
ground for the suspicion that he knew
something about it before anyone else
did. But whether he did or didn't,
that three of a kind ought to be en-

Howard in the trump suit.
