TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

Itha significant fact that not once during his lS,OOO mile Jaunt about the country has president Taft sounded chord In his public speeches that has met wish popular approval In Boston he advocated the AldrIch "cen- traI bank system, a measure which may have some merit but which is certainly viewed with suspicion and sk pticlsm by the great mass of yot- CTS. In Milwaukee and wInona he attempted Co read the Insurgent sen. ators out of the Republican party be- cause they refused to vote for the tariff bill Later be praised the bill lu two speeches and at Seattle he bitterly disappointed the hopes Of Al EsEaus by declaring against home ru!a and advocating commission govern ment for Alaska. It is also signifi- cant that lu many places Taft has been met with little real enthusiasm, that nowhere has he been accorded tbe warmth of welcome that went so spontaneously forth to Roosevelt.
 In hls Wilmington speech yesterday Taft again defended the tariff, stated ls was the best bill of its kind ever passed by a congress-. and farther more added that as long as he was president 1t would not be changed
 President Taft may possibly be sin. cers In his public statements in de teuse of the tariff bill, he may even believe that he has fulfilled his pre- election pledges of a substantial re- vision DOwNwARDS." but 1t is safe tO say that four of every five con- sumers in the United States who have given the matter the slightest con sideratlOn think otherwise. It is doubtful indeed it the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill is any improvement upon the Dingley bill which 1t succeeded. l. certainly cannot be said to be "a substantial revision downward" and the general impression. not among Democrats. but among hitherto staunch Republicans. is that both the President and the majority of the Republican congressman broke faith wltb the voters who put them in pow sF. Brazel defense Of this breach of faith only makes the violation seem more fragrant, The AldrIcb-Payne tartr bllI calls for apologies-not for praise. and all that President Taft can say will not suffice to fool the people or to blind the Issue which has been raised.
 f President Taft sdheres to the policy Of standpausm. if be reiter- ates that the tariff will not be reyis- ed while he is President, 1t is ex- Temely probable that he will not be president d second time The people want tariff revision, honest downward revision. Taft as yet has not proved himself so popular as to permit his personality to stand as a stumbling block to this needed reform.

There are people in the world who
are said TO be better than their re-
ligion, and the French are mention
ed as being among them. I do not
youeh for the truth of the assertion.
on the contrary, I am free to say |
do not believe it, yet a very distin-
guished writer of the last century,
Henry Thomas Buckle, is authority
for the statement. However that
may be, am very certain that some
people-ours among them-are better
than their laws, especially their fun
damental law.
Our constitution is more like an
act of Legislation than anything else,
for there is scarcely a provision in
it that is not self executing, without
legislative aid. For instance, it de-
votes all the money that arises from
the saloon licenses to the support of
the common schools in the district
where the traffic is carried on. That

it tends to lessen-or he thinks it
does-the burden of his taxes. While
that provision remains in the consti-
tuition, it will always be difficult in
any p%opulous town or city TO entire
~ eradicate the liquor business. The
legislature cannot repeal it, and it
is next to impossible to amend the
constitution without violating it.
If the people could be polled, I'M
trammeled by that constitutional
bride, there is little doubt but what
the sale of liquor by authority of law
would cease in this state,-I mean
the whole people of the state.
In towns like our own, where they
have an iron-clad whiskey majority,
the hope of getting rid of the traffic
is small indeed, but if the people
outside, who are compelled to should
Ell the burdens-or most of them
made necessary by it, were allowed
a voice in saying whether the bust
ness should be licensed or not, there
is every reason to believe that ii
would stop suddenly. That is the
solution of the whole matter. When
will our laws be so framed as to per-
init the practical test? Forty years
ego last winter | helped to enact a
law that closed the saloons in this
state on every election day since, and
10 legislator has eyer attempted its
repeal. Another step was taken last
winter, and saloons must now let up
for eleven out of every twenty-fouT
hours; and, that lhey will close some
evening in the near future and never
open any more, is just as certain as
il IS, thu Gle that is higher than

1t drifts in on the breezes from
somewhere far away
a scent of soothing SAVIOR that glad
dens half the day
A faint, elusive odor, a shadowy per-
fume;
There drifts in on the breezes a Whit
of alder bloom.
And through its silent magic out of
the past arise
The songs of olden summers, the blue
of olden skies,
The dawns that broke in silver upon
he distant heights,
The star-strewn depths of glory that
made the olden nights.
With eyes half-closed 1 fancy l hear
the little stream
Go leaping on and laughing with
jewel-flash and CLEAN,
While over it the alders their now
blooms have hung,
AS though they caught in armfuls the
pearly foam upflung.
The snowy alder blossoms! AS deli
cate as lace,
And cool with scented comfort when
pressed against the face.
A honey tag as heavy as Oriental
musk
Swept from them through the
shadows that crept in with the
dusk.
And so I sit and fancy the old days
have returned
The olden golden summers for which
my heart has yearned,
And emo is weaving upon her rest
less loom
A warp and wool of sweetness-a
