Contemptuous of the West.

We have senators, and even repre-
sentatives, who apparently act on the
theory that the territory embraced by
the thirteen original states is still the
real American republic and that the
great west, the northwest and south
west are still IN a state of tutelage, al.
most like the Philippines and Porto
Rico. This class of statesmen considers
the west too immature to have n DO
litical voice worthy serious considera.
ton. The vests protest against a rob-
Der tariff, for instance, is to them like
a child's resentment against neces-
sary discipline.
The Payne tariff bill is deeply scared
with these marks of distrust. 1t bris-
ties with evidence of contempt for the
vests judgment on economic matters.
There is the usual studied slight of the
wishes and needs of the ultimate con-
sumner" who represents a newer Amer
icanism. 1t looks after the interests
Of those Americans who populate the
New England and Atlantic states. It
offers a stone, instead of bread, to the
millions upon millions OF western toll
ers who are carving the real American
destiny out of the exhaustless soil.

No "Iron Dukes" Wanted.

With supreme tactlessness, with
blatant spread-eagleism and with the
most serene ignorance of the meaning
OF what he was saying, Congressman
Rodenberg of Illinois named Speaker
Cannon before the Republican caucus
as the Iron Duke of American poll.
tics"
MI. Rodenberg meant to pay Mr..
Cannon a compliment. A study of the
rest of the speech makes that appar-
emit But he was egregiously unable to
see that it does not do to offer the
congratulations of a democracy in
terms of aristocracy. Bismarck may
have ben beyond criticism in the stern
work of forging the German empire.
Peter the Great may have been the
most effective despot that Russia ever
had. But it is something akin to an in.
suit to compare to either the servant
of the people" who modestly holds of.

wanted any iron dukes in America, and
we do not want any Of them to-day.
Mr.. Rodenberg's cratic outburst
must have been singularly annoying to
Mr.. Cannon. Czarism is the reputation
the speaker has been trying to live
during every moment of the ses-
sion just ended. He must have groaned
aloud at hearing a supposed friend re-
call it with such ~stupendous stupidity
at the very moment when its oblitera.
ton should have been most complete.

REVISED BY ITS FRIENDS.
People Have Soon Learned What This
Means In Connection with
Tariff Changes.

The folly of turning over the Ding
ley tariff to be revised by its friends
of the Republican persuasion is re-
vealed in the discovery on the first
day of tariff debate in the house that
the Payne bill carries custom-house
taxes which, in the average, are high.
er than those of Dingley.
The friendliness of Chairman Payne's
committee on ways and means for
monopoly rates is further seen in the
reductions upon some western raw
material and the sending of another to
the free list without compensating con.
cessions to the farmers who have to
pay monopoly prices for the daily nee
essaries they have to buy.
The claim by Champ Clark that the
bill would increase the cost of living
to the laboring man while affording no
relief to the farmer is strikingly borne
out by the hypocrisy of what is said
tends to keep coffee on the free list,
with the provision, however, that cof-
fee imported from a country that outs
an export tax on it shall pay duty at
the same rate when it is brought to
this country. That means, inevitably,
a double tax on the Door mans break,
fast beverage, for Brazil and most of
the other countries from which we
import coffee already have the ex.
port tax.
The tariff promises on which Presi.
dent Taft was elected are not made
good in the Payne bill. The friends
OF Dingleyism in the ways and means
committee have dealt tenderly with
monopoly. We need not expect real re-
vision until the work is intrusted to a
congress that is not composed of
friends of such tariff as we have had
during the last II years.

Roosevelt the Politician.

No more consummate politician ever
lived. A part of his mastery lay in his
constant assumption that he knew
nothing about politics, being a straight
forward man whose only skill was SIM
pie faith; but the others were children
beside him. For knowing when to seize
he occasion; for understanding per-
fectfy how to hit popular feeling
between wind and water; above an.
for ability to impress and handle men,
not singly, but by the hundred thou
sand, we have not looked upon his like.
And, of course, his political dexterity
a had that cold-blooded remorseless-
ness without which it could not have
been SO successful. Friend or faction
Or cause that it became necessary for
him to throw over was abandoned
without hesitation. His watchword
ever was, Get it done and let them
howl-"-New York Evening Post.

Only a Little One.

Three hundred feet of the Panama
railroad embankment at Gatun have
settled to a depth of 80 feet. The
landslide is at the same point
where a similar movement occurred
last November. This time the slide
is westward, instead of toward the
east. According to the Colon official
news service. little Importance is
attached to the occurrence" The
hole will be filled with rock, and
evidences of the slide will be COW
cred up. Some engineering experts
are inclined to attach more impor-
lance to these slides. The holes in
the Panama canal construction are
too readily covered up. Even a little
slide may be of importance, because
it may have a big cause behind it.
Any evidence of instability at Gatun
is important.

find this out.

Payne's Foolish Contention.

Chairman Payne's contention that
the higher tariff taxes in his bill are
mainly those on luxuries will not be
accepted by the women folks until he
can convince them that gloves anc
stockings are luxuries rather than neo-
~essaries of life. There is hardly a
shopgirl in st. Louis who does not
deem gloves almost as necessary a part
Of her street attire as any other part
of it. As for the men, it is a maxim of
good dressing that a man who is we'll
gloved is one-third well dressed, the
remaining essentials being that he be
well hated and well shod.-St. Louis

PUTS TAX ON FObD]
WHEREIN THE PAYNE BIN Is
WHOLLY BAD.
ADDS to Already onerous Bufden Of
the Poor-Better and More
Equitable Method Of R5is-
inq Revenue.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Tai,
said: In the making Of tariff bill
the prime motive is taxation, and the
securing thereby of revenue" The
governments needs are pressing
Last year the deficit was $50, 600, 900
This year it promises to reach $3.50,
100000, and with the increase of about
$4O,00O.00O in appropriations next
year 1t may be even larger unless
congress adopt prompt measures tc
raise more revenue
According to the estimates of the
ways and means committee the Payne
Dill now pending will produce a net
increase in customs receipts of $11.
666. 74S as compared with those col
lected under the Dingley law in a
favorable year. And to effect this in
adequate increase it is proposed to
levy new taxes on the breakfast table.
g is to be heavily taxed. So is
cocoa. A retaliatory tax is to be i'm
posed on coffee from countries like
Brazil, Guatemala and Salvador, from
which We draw our largest supplies,
because they levy an export duty. At
the same time the reduction of the
duty on sugar is so slight that the
consumer will derive no benefit from
1t, yet this tax, as. Wayne MacVeagh
says, is especially infamous, as it ex-
torts from the laboring man an actual
sum often in Xce of the sum the
same tax EFFORTS from the richest
Multi-millionaire."
The tax on tea, cocoa and coffee is
not protective. They are necessaries
of life, and must be imported. The
tax on sugar, which is produced in
this country in quantities far below
the needs of domestic consumption,
is not to be reduced because influential
interests oppose a change to the add
vantage of the consumer. The cost of
living is already oppressive, but in
these respects 1t is to be made higher
still. Staples like tea, coffee and
cocoa are to be taxed and a high duty
on sugar retained because certain priv
iieged beneficiaries of the tariff de-
mand immunity by law against fair
competition.
So far as the Payne bill taxes the
breakfast table it is wholly bad The
government must have more revenue.
But instead of taxing food, already far
toe dear for the working people of the
United States, in the circumstances
what way of raising revenue is there
so e%xpedient and equitable as gradu-
ated income and inheritance taxes,
both of which Mr.. Taft favors?

"Big Head" Among Diplomats.

President Taft will confer a favor
upon Americans abroad and establish
a wholesome precedent if he will make
his diplomatic appointees understand
that their Offices, like all others, are
public; that the American people, not
favored individuals, are the supporters
Of embassies and legations, and are
entitled to considerable and impartial
treatment by the incumbents of those
Offices. The diplomatic representa-
tive who uses his office for the aggran-
dizement of himself and his friends
should be separated from it long
enough to realize that the honor and
prestige of it belongs to the United
States and not to himself.

Aimed to Perpetuate plumber.

So far as the Payne bill does reduce
the tariff upon important staples, as in
the steel, wool and paper schedules, it
is a short step in the right direction.
But it leaves tariff rates still far be-
yond defensible limits. 1t perpetuates
the plundering Of the consumer. 1t is,
as the minority says, sectional and
prOhibitive." 1t leaves the inevitable
great battle for tariff reform an un-
certainty still hanging over the bust
ness community. 1t is but a O to
