Political Comment.
The Tariff in Conference.

Even a bill that is reported from
The Finance Committee of the Senate
Goes not take rank as a prospective
law. Neither is a bill, as passed up
to the Senate from the Hl-nse neces
sarily near-law. Nor is the bill which
the Senate will pass a near-law.
The conference committee appears
to he the court of last resort as con-
Germs the making of a tariff law, and
the President, it appears. recognizing
that truth, is reserving his influence
for the conference that finally will
mold the schedules of the Payne
Aldrich tariff. The President will ap
ply pressure at the strategic point and
the psychological moment, so to speak.
This is indicative of what a con-
server OF energy and judge of dis
lance the President is He is after re-
suits and not eager for spectacles.
He wants schedules which, taken all
in all, will redeem the pledges of the
PARTY and satisfy the larger moiety
of the people; but he has no desire
to split the party. to engender bad
blood, or to humiliate any leader.
The old constitutional regard for
the separate and distinct functions of
legislature and executive has much to
commend it. In fact, it is not only
constitutional, but also expedient The

Senate has the privilege and right TO
pass a tariff bill in accordance with
Its views of what is good and wise.
Mr.. Taft carefully refrains from tell.
ing the Senate what it ought to do.
Then, when Mr.. Aldrich, Mr. Hale and
Mr.. Lodge have finished, have had the
opportunity TO express their view OF
what the new tariff should be, the
President, as coordinate factor in
the making of tariff law, will tell
what is his view.
The place for the Senate, the House
and the President Ito get together
and ito frame up" the final measure
is naturally in the Conference Com
mittee. Therein the three coordinate
powers that make the national laws
can present their respective views, can
compromise, can report out a final
formulation.

party eventually will be responsible,
may be something which, while accept
