REDS ROYAL FLUSH

A CCORDING to a dispatch from
n London Ambassador Reid told
"A one of the titled guests at the
kings dinner that if other than men
of wealth were sent to represent the
United States as ambassadors congress
must not only provide embassies, but
increase salaries. His own Indepen-
dence day reception at Dorchester
house cost him more than one-third Of
his years salary"
This statement invites attention Mr.
tocracy but of a democracy. If he
should forget this he should not be all
lowed to establish conditions which
will handicap or penalize his success
ors and effectually prevent the people
of the United States from being repre-
sented. But did Ambassador Reid in
vite the people of the United Kingdom
to attend his independence day celebra-
ton? Did the representative of a
democracy entertain representative
British democrats?
Why, the copyrighted dispatch pub
lished by our Republican morning con-
temporary, which we thank heartily
for the information contained in that
dispatch, made the following statement
with regard to the latest entertainment
given by the representative of the
American people:
Ambassador Reid's dinner party and
small dance for the king and queen
constituted the most remarkable as
semblage of aristocracy ever collected
in any London embassy.
"An analysis of the guests shows
they consisted of six royal princes, six
royal princesses, six dukes, seven
duchesses, seven marquises, five mar
chionesses, fourteen earls, seventeen
countesses, four viscounts, two Wis
countesses, $50 lords, twenty-siX ladies
and only NINETEEN COMMONERS.
There were EIGHT AMERICANS
present, all purely society people with
no representative character"
Under the circumstances, it is no;
astonishing that British democrats are
beginning to accuse the United States
Of lack of loyalty to the democratic
principle, and to ask why the Amer
lean people consent to be represented
by a man who is as far removed from
being typical American as snob
and lickspittle is removed from being
an independent manly man.

INCOME TAX

4 IKE all wide awake Democrats,
William J. Bryan is keenly con-
IL scious of the fact that the Repup-
lican leaders have conveyed and con-
verted To their own uses much Demo-
cratic material. Tribute after tribute
to the iagacity of Democratic pioneers
of public opinion and leaders OF
public thought has been offered by the
trainers of Republican programs. Mr.
Bryan recalls the fact that the Demo-
cratic platform of 1908 contained an
income tax plank. Here it is:
1--WE FAVOR AN~INCOME TAX AS
PART OF OUR REVENUE SYSTEM,
AND WE URGE THE SUBMISSION
OF A CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZ-
ING CONGRESS- TO LEVY AND
COLLECT TAX UPON INDIVIDUAL
AND CORPORATE INCOMES, TO
THE END THAT WEALTH MAY
BEAR IT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE
OF THE BURDENS OF THE FED
ERAL GOVERNMENT"
The Republican platform contained
not a line. not even a Woru, Oh the
subject of income tax, and Republican
speakers denounced the Democratic in
come tax proposals as radical and un-
constitutional
Mr. Bryan reminds the people Of the
United States he indorsed the income
tax plank and urged the necessity OF a
constitutional amendment. President
Taft in his acceptance speech insisted
an amendment was not necessary For
years the Republican leaders have OPP
posed an income tax and denounceo
the Democrats for advocating it. But

REVISION NEEDED

TN view of the tariff-revision per-
formance. The Survey has re-
Il newed it's attack on the causes
which have produced modern Pitts
burg, a tariff-made city, and. most un-
doubtedly and unequivocally, a dis
grace to our or to any civilization.
Ida M. Tarbell, a well-known writer,
has also taken up the fight for true
tariff reform, saying the American peo-
pie, in order to comprehend what tariff
will do to a community, should look at
Pittsburg. (which is the greatest monu-
ment in this country to the practice of
high protection. For fifty years 1t has
been the stronghold of the doctrine.
For fifty years it has reaped, as no
other center in the United States, the
benefits of prohibitive duties"
If there is any logic in high-tariff or
stand-pat arguments, Pittsburg should
be the typical city of perennial pros
perity, general afhuence. constant and
common abundance.
Butts it? AS a matter Of fact Pitts
burg sits on the bad eminence of being
socially the worst city in the United
States, a city where human life is
cheaper than dirt, and where every hu-
man interest is sacrificed TO the AL
MIGHTY DOLLARS OF A FEW IN
DIVIDUALs.

ton as the result of the high-tariff sys-

few to make misery for the many.
But the innocent children are the
worst sufferers of all. We are told:
"The conditions under which the chill
dren of the poor are brought up in
Pittsburg are such that babies die like
flies" A settlement worker said to SAM
uel Hopkins Adams: mot one child II
ten comes to US from the river bottom
section without blood or skin disease,
usually Of long standing. Not one out
of ten comes to us physically up to the
normal for his or her age. Worse than
that, few of them are up to the mental
standard, and an increasing percentage
are imbecile. The school buildings are
in many cases crowded, dark, dirty,
often OF three stories, and bad fire risks.
The condition OF the children in these
schools, good and bad. rich and poor,
may be known by the large proportion
having defective teeth, reduced hearing,
imperfect vision. An excessively large
number of them are mouth -breathers,
partially so because they are unable
to breathe through their noses in the
smoky air Of Pittsburg, and a very
considerable number are below the stat
ure and weight determined for the av-
erage child. In a large percentage the
defects Of teeth, nose and throat bring
them below the physical normal. These
are the children that wear OUT in child
hood"
Protection does not protect the peo-
pie. 1t protects pirates and produces
poverty 1t is folly to fritter away time
on fake" revision Of the tariff when
It is the social system that is in urgent
need Of revision.

Efforts to locate the lost pie probably
will prove frutless, however, for Presi-
dent Taft and everybody else at the
White House have come to regard it as
a myth. Reports that came from New
York the past week told how it was
baked by the Pie Bakers union of that
city 1t was great pie, rivaling in fame
the one from which sprang four-and-
twenty blackbirds when it was set be-
fore the king. A long list of ingredients
that were put in the pie by the several
bakers who made it was printed. The re-
ports said it took six hours to bake it,
and that it was shipped to Washington
two days before Thanksgiving, accompan-
led by a committee of the bravest pie
bakers Of New York. But where is it?
Long after the Presidents Thanksgiving
dinner was over and the dishes all washed
and put away. nothing had been heard
of it at the White House. 1t has vanish
ed completely. and the brave guard of
bakers has vanished with it.

Tariff Critics Take in Sail.


Western congressman drifting into
town say that the presidents bold post
ton on his recent tour in standing by
the tariff act, left some of the OPP
ponents of that measure high and dry.
They went away from Washington
vowing all kinds of reprisals and re-
opening of issues in the coming session.
The president followed and announced
that the tariff was satisfactory.
Immediately it was claimed by these
returning congressman, the insurgents
found themselves liable to be "agin the
government" If they tried to start
something in this congress, and thew
had to take in sail. They found a loop
hole in loud denunciatfon of Aldrich-
ism and Cannonism, and they may keep
that up. But the point is that they will
have to tread warily lest they break
some of the administrations eggs,
which are all in one basket, and being
carried Jointly by the president, Sena-
tor Aldrich and Speaker Cannon. It il
understood by well posted congressman
that the president does not care how
much the insurgents 1ambast Cannon
rather enjoys the shindy, it is said.
But hands off the organization and no
joining with Democrats to ball up the
administrations work in congress.
And it may be added that he enjoys
this "lambasting'' of Aldrich and Can
non in the same spirit in which he
twitted the speaker in his speeches
down the river.
The speaker will arrive in Washing
ton early next week. He speaks at KAN
sas City Friday night and upon his re-
turn home to Danville will leave for the
capital.
The Republican insurgents of the
house have taken much comfort in the
speeches of the late David A De
Almond on Missouri. against any spe-
cial rule brought in by the COMMITTEES
