Taft's emphatic declaration that he

whole people as demanding, revision

minor and specific details of the tariff
struggle in all circles here.
The statement issued after a dele
cation of congressman had appealed
to the president for the maintenance

ticularly iron ore, wool, hides, oil and
lumber purported to be an outline re-
port of the discussion which took
place during the visit of the delega-
tion and especially of what the presi-
dent said TO the visitors; but the very
fact that such a statement was issued
at ell and, in particular, the emphatic
conclusion of the remarks of the pres
ident thus reiterated made IL clear TO
all who studied the pronouncement
that the president intended 1t virtually
as an ultimatum.
Many read into the statement a
barely concealed threat on the part
of the president that if the bill
reached him In form which he re-
garded as unfaithful to the promises
of his party and disobedient to the
sentiment of the mass of the people
he would veto it.
Talk Freely In Confidence.
Few of the prominent members of
either house of congress would dis
cuss the statement for publication and
most of the utterances intended for
quotation were of a perfunctory char
acter; but in confidence many talked
freely and some of the conservatives
very bitterly; some went so far as to
say that the presidents stand meant
nothing less than the defeat of the
bill altogether One man said: Now
the standpattcrs viii become the in
surgents; the lines will all have to be
reformed and nobody can forecast the
outcome"
Those less excitable inclined to the
view that the president had simply
mada a lopp fnrpcapn runyo essential

would mean the speedy dissolution OF
the opposition to downward revision
and the termination of the long fight

The City Election

The contest which has waged so
severely for several weeks and in
which all of our citizens have taken
a deep interest is over, and now
that the smoke of the battle has
lifted, we are able to look over the
field with better understanding of
the people in the important issue of
License or No-License.
Very many of our people will be
disappointed at the result, while
others will rejoice. But the real
fact for the people to accept and
act upon, is, that there will be
licensed saloons in the city in the
coming year and that the govern
ment of the city will be in the hands
of men who believe in the regula-
ton of the use of liquor rather than
in strict prohibition. The men who
have been elected are known to be
excellent citizens, men who have
the interests of the city at heart.
That they differ, in their theories
from many others, is true, but this
is no reason for antagonism in the
management of our civil affairs.
A great respon sibility is thrown
upon the new CO uncil. The people
will look to it for proper enforce
ment of the law and regulation of
the saloons which they may license.
In what they do for the enforcement
of law, they should receive the
hearty support of all good citizens.
If the sale of Intoxicating liquors
cannot be prevented, all citizens
should at least see to it, that those
who engage in its use and sale do
not overstep the limits of the law.
In this idea all good citizens can
and will cooperate.
There are also important civic
duties coming before the executive
officers of the city in which the need
of unanimity of sentiment will be
felt. The Journal hopes that defeat

Porto RiCan KiCkers

No matter how greatly favored
may be Nation, State, Territory,
Province, county or municipality,
there are always to be found kickers
against the most favorable condi-
tons. The island Province of
Porto Rico has recently furnished
an illustration OF the truth of this
statement.
The Porto Rican House of Dele
gates, a body chosen by universal
suffrage, recently sent deputation
to Washington to protest against
the Federal government having any
control over the expenditure Of
Federal moneys upon the island,
and to insist upon an American
tariff upon coffee imported from
foreign countries.
All local taxes paid in Porto Rico,
less than ten per cent for cost of
collection, are returned to the town
ships to be expended entirely free
from Federal interference. The
Federal government very properly
reserves to itself the right to say
how its own money should be ex-
pended upon the island just the
same as it controls the disburse-
ment of it's own funds in the States
and Territories. 1t should be borne
in mind, in this connection, that
the Federal government withdraws
from the island none of the Federal
revenues collected there, leaving
the entire amount so collected, in
Porto Rico. We will venture to say
that when the island was under the
Spanish Yoke such a condition did
not prevail.
Those Washington newspaper cor
respondents who are more tina
willing to champion the cause of
political agitators have given cur
rency to the claim that the price of
Porto Rican coffee has dropped
from thirty-fve dollars ton under
Spanish rule to nine dollars a ton
under American occupation. Such
a statement is wholly misleading.
Thirty-five dollars ton represents
the very highest price ever received
for such coffee in Spanish silver,
and the nine dollars ton the very
lowest price ever paid for it in
American gold. Of course an
analysis of such claim, based up
on average values of coffee, and the
difference between the value of
Spanish silver and American gold,
would not sustain the depression in
coffee prices that the political agita-
tors who are in search of an issue
would have us believe. 1t is said
that Porto Rican coffee producers,
not the politicians, would like rec
iprocity with Cuba and Spain, so
that they might sell their product
more advantageously to those who
wish to purchase it, instead of a
protective tariff which would be of
no benefit to them as they could
produce but small part of the
coffee used in the United States,
upon which no duty is now charged
them.

The horticultural department of
the University of Wisconsin Agri-
cultural Experiment Station is
working on the selection of improved
strains of potatoes. The potato in
dustry of the state already exceeds
$8,000,000 in value annually, and is
capable of great expansion, but the
average yield is small, only averag-
ing about 80 bushels per acre. BY
the use of better seed, this yield
could easily be increased to Is
bushels per acre.

Absenteeism in the House of Rep
resentatives is becoming a real evil,
to such an extent indeed as 10 inter-
fere with the business of the lower
branch of Congress. 1t is we'll
known that during the closing days
of the Sixtieth Congress a number
of votes were lost to the organization
as a result of the absence of mem
bers. From Washington comes the
gratifying report that speaker Can
non intends to look after these delin-
quents who do not stay on the job
during the consideration of the
tariff bill and that they will be
"docked" if they fail to attend the
sessions. History affords ample
precedent for such course. Speak
er Crisp in the Fifty-third and
Speaker Reed in the Fifty-fourth
Congresses both brought lot of
absentees to their senses by order
ing that deductions should be made
from the salaries of those who
failed to attend the session. The
pity of it is that such method must
needs be resorted to in order to en-
force. a responsibility that should be
regarded as a duty and privilege.

The boss game warden went be-
fore the investigating committee a
second time to swear that he COM
mitted perjury when previously on
the stand. He wanted to make
"clean breast" of all that he knew
about campaign funds, and in do
ing this he has given Gov. David
son quite bit of unenviab1e noto-
riety. AS we understand it, the
State game warden received twelve
hundred dollars of the Stephenson
campaign fund to be distributed
among the deputy game wardens,
who in turn turned the amount as
their generous and free hearted con-
tribution to the Davidson campaign
fund, the governor receiving the
money in cur!a5acy in two install
ments of five hundred dollars each,
and one installment of two hundred
dollars. This was a circuitouS
route for the Stephenson money to
reach Davidson, but it made it
mighty easy for the deputy game
wardens to make their campaign
contributions.

The Sixty-first Congress, convened

vising the tariff. And to this deli
cate task is added it's concomitant,
that of enacting law to create
sources of additional revenue re-
quired to meet the growing expen-
ditures of the nation, and it is of
vital Importance that this law shall
not impose undesirable burdens on
the average American citizen. The
Sixty-frst Congress is not to be
envied it's complicated and delicate
tasks.
