'Republican side; and on sugar, wood,
hides and several other schedules a
sufficient number OF Democrats have
joined the Aldrich crowd to put the
high rates through, though there was
enough Republican opposition COM
|bined with the Democratic vote to de-
feat the rates. Now, Senator Gull
bertson, the Democratic leader. comes
out fiat-footed for the hides schedule,
joining Bailey, of Texas, who de-
clared free trade to be fake issue.
Everybody agrees that some Re-
publican senators and congressman
should be defeated in the interest of
common honesty and decency. But
indications now are that in Republic
can districts, II these men are pun
ished by retirement, 1t will be at the
primary; for Democratic congressman
again have lost their opportunity, by
preaching free trade and voting. not
for protective tariff only, but for
rates, which in some instances
amount to oppression and extortion.
Senator Ben Tillman struck the
keynote, by saying, when inaccessi-

Do the Republican leaders in the
senate realize that 1910 will see many
important state elections, as we'll as
the choice of a house OF representa-
tives and of legislatures which will
name a third of the members OF the
senate? In view of the fact that the
senate is busy revising the tariff up
ward, and IS also considering PROPOSE
tions of imposing new taxes, 1910
has some claim on. the attention of
the president and Of congress. Among
the important states which will eject
state officers next year are New York,
Connecticut, Ohio, New Jersey, Kan
sas and Nebraska. Most of these
states will choose governors as well
as other state officials. What will the
great industrial states of New York,
New Jersey and Ohio say IL congress
enacts either an income or a corpora
ton dividend tax? What will Con-
necticut say? II the upward tariff re-
vision is in the bill when Il reaches
the preSident, and II that bill, with
its rejection of Republican campaign
pledges, is signed. what will be the
verdict of Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio
and the rest OF the western states
which vote next year?
Some of the Republican chieftains
are steering their party close to the
ragged edge of disaster 1t will not
be safe for them 20 rely too much on
Democratic shiftlessness, diseord and
folly. II Taft's state should be lost
to the Republicans in 1910 what sort

would this result carry for the Taft
administration? 1t is known that
Bryan will make a supreme effort, in
the Nebraska compaign of 1910. to

vote was cast for Bryan. A Harmon
victory in Ohio in 1910 and a Bryan
victory in Nebraska in that year
might render the question OF the
Democratic candidacy in 1912 doubt
full as between these two Democratic
chieftains. but II would. at the same
time. make that candidacy worth
more than II has been worth at any
time since 1896. There are many rea-
sons why the Republicans should go
very slow at this time In breaking
Republican campaign pledges and in
tr.ipg rash experiments in taxation
legislation.

An Unkind suggestion

When asked as TO whether or not
he would take a hand In the Nebras-
ka contest on the liquor issue Mr..
Bryan answered: 81 most certainly
will. For eighteen years | have en-
gagged in discussing other questions
but | shall do my part to keep our
party from being controlled by the
liquor interests" Commenting on
this expression the Charleston News
and Courier unkindly suggests: This
would seem to indicate that Mr.. Bry-
an intends to attack the American
electorate on another flank in 1912.
We do not know to what extent he
will go into sumptuary legislation, a
wholly un-Democratic policy, but we
can count on him surely to do the
thing that will not only accomplish
his defeat, but the defeat of the par
ty on which he has fastened his
hold"

To an opportunist 1t would seem
that Nemesis is not employing De-

Republican party its dlstributive

There has been much concern ex-
pressed by Republican party organs
over the distressing fact that senate
leaders are boldly asserting their de-
termination to revise the tariff mostly
upward: whereas the president has
frequently announced his personal
conviction that what the people want
and desire Is an honest revision.

knowledge of this fact as much as
temperament that causes the presi-
dent TO maintain his form and stroke
on the golfing green. while the legis-
lative department is sweating over
the impost rates.
However, Democracy has lost her
advantage entirely in the situation;
because If her representatives and

There was long pause. The aucs-

the entire country, had not permitted
their faculties a moments rest. as the
