PASSING OF PROTECTIVE
TARIFF--AND PARTIES,

There seems to be prospect for the
passing of the tariff bill by the end of
the week. The holding as a session of
congress in June and July at Washing
ton has at least made our public SER
wants sweat for their salaries this year
and doubtless has much to do with the
actual shaping of the tariff itself, as all
the members want to get to cooler places
and will often agree to things that in a
cooler time they would fightindeinitely.
Very few of us common people will
have any special reason to know wheth-
or the tariff has been changed or not.
AS matter of fact there has been no
great change and there is no prospect of
any. Whether it has been revised up or
down will takes some time and future
statistics to show. Three very import
ant factors have been at work to modify
the tariff: The need of more revenue
The promise of both national parties to
reduce the tariff; The pressure of local
interests. These triangularly opposing
factors have mostly resulted in neutral
izing proposed changes.
Perhaps the most interesting to the
body polite is the revelation that q pro-
tective tariff is no longer party issue
in this country and probably never will
be again. In the voting and debating,
party lines have been obliterated. AL.
most no attention has been paid to par
ty platforms and most members have
been guided by what they deemed tie
interests of their own states and local.
tiles.
This coming at time when ''indepen-
dence" and ''progressivism" in politics
is ruling sentiment in that it holds the
balance of power as never before, may
mean very much for the future of both
the republican and democratic parties.
1t may mean new parties and new is
sues in the immediate future.
New issues there are in sight rnd in
plenty, but as yet none is Of sufficient
prominence on which to build party. |

tives. There is great difference be-
tween preventing wrong and doing ! |

the case with many folks all sorts of
explanations. foolish and otherwise,
were made of the way in which they
happened to become interested. From
the start, however, these Dayton b.
cycle manufacturers were keen for
aeroplanes. They believed that the
soaring and flying of birds could best
be initiated by aeroplanes.
The manner in which birds kept on
mile after mile after vessels at sea,
merely moving their wings now and
again, interested these brothers, as
it has interested thousands of per-
sons who are not wrapped up in aero
planes. The brothers knew or learned
that the birds occasionally tapped
their wings in the midst of soaring
because they had TO mount another
or different air current.
