SECURITY FOUNDED ON ROCK.
Point Made by Gov. Hughes in His
Seattle Address 10 Particularly
Pertinent Just Now.

To declare that Our security is In
the educated intelligence of the aver
age man." in his appreciation of duty
as well of personal right, is not to ad-
vance startling discovery. in social
science. Yet this point, made by Gov.
Hughes in his address at Seattle, is
particularly pertinent and refreshing
at this time. and the whole passage
In which it is presented will bear reit-
Grafton.
We are told that the income tax
amendment spells revolution and TIE
downfall of the states. We are told
that direct primaries and the growins
resort to the referendum and recall
are destructive of representative gov
eminent. We are warned of the
steady approach of socialism by one
set of gloomy prophets and of the
growth of executive usurpation and
bureaucratic tyranny by another set
OF alarmists. What has been de-
scribed as 1.-The apocalyptic style" has
been greatly in evidence of late in
polemical discussions of new taxes
and proposed politico-industrial re.
forms.
That is why such sane, strong, con.
vincing sentences as those OF Gov.
Hughes are so grateful" just now.
There is no chance for the dema-
gogue, no possibility of revolution"
If 1--WE are to be ruled by intelligent
public opinion" Our truest safe
guards are not constitutional proyi-
sions difficult to change, not checks
and balances devised generations ago,
but 1.-THE growing appreciation of JUS
tice" and the common sense OF the
democratic electorate. Majorities are
not mercurial theories count for lit
tie with them. Needed changes are Sc
cured long after their realization
ceases to threaten revolution" and
no force in human society is equal to
that of the influence of the average
character and the average educated
intelligence of the community.
Gov. Hughes would do everything
to strengthen the conception of our
common interest, to facilitate educa.
ton by discussion and experience, to
guide opinion Alright and insure order
ly development of laws and institu-
tions. The success of democracy de-
ponds on mental and moral education.
and it is impossible to do too much
for such education. But to distrust

Foreiqn-Built Yacht Tax.

There is one clause in the new
tariff bill which is altogether COM
mendable. The high tax contemplated
upon foreign-built yachts will provide,
if it finally becomes operative, a
method of aid to home shipbuilding
enterprise which should long before
this nave been put to use.
This clause is not designed for reye-
nue. purposes, but in it's immediate eff
feet it will produce a considerable
revenue, as it will result in imposing
very heavy annual tax upon a large
number of American yachts that were
built in foreign yards. There are more
than half dozen yachts which, under
the regulation, would have to pay an
annual tonnage tax in excess of S1O.-
OOO and more than 100 that would
nave to pay from $1,000 to sc, 1000 an
nually. There is a means of escape
Tor the American owners of foreign
Quilt yachts-that of securing United
States registry by paying in a lump
sum 80 per cent. of the value of the
ship into the national treasury. AS
some OF the foreign-built yachts owned
In this country cost in the neighbor-
mood of $1,OOO,000, the lump-sum tax.
II chosen. will sum up into an aggre-
gate of millions.
The main purpose of the clause. it
Is quite apparent, is to prohibit the
foreign-built yacht from American reg
istry, or, rather, to compel Americans
who are able to built yachts to build
them at home. In it's retroactive
working the tax will be a pretty steep
one. and 1t is probable that it will re.
suit in bringing some high-priced
yachts into the market.

No Permanent Division in Party.

1t will be for future presidents to do
as President Taft has done-to an
swer for the country at large, and,
holding the tremendous power of the
veto in reserve, impress upon tariff
makers the necessity of taking a ma
tional along with local view of re-
vision. President Taft did not cen
sure or lecture the senators and rep
resentatives who came to him under
the spur of home influences, and only
pointed out that as the representative
of the people he must do his part from
the national viewpoint alone. And he
did his part with resolution and sue
cess. The new law will be the better
for the part he took in framing 1t.
The contest has been full of ginger.
with now and then a display of acri-
mony, but a permanent division in the
Republican party as a result is not at
all likely. Other duties will now pre.
sent themselves, and the party must
advance to them in as good fighting
shape as possible.-Washingt Star.

The Revision Of the Tariff.

A tariff law much worse than the
final draft of the Payne-Aldrich law
would be accepted with gratitude and
relief by the commercial and manu-
featuring interests of the country if it
carried with it definite assurances
that no further agitation of the sub
ject need be expected for ten or a
dozen years. Business would adjust
itself to the new schedules, and with
the prospect Of non-interference from
the congress before them the mem
bers of the manufacturing and trading
community would. make the best of
the situation created.
But will the new measure satisfy
the class from which the demand for
downward revision" has come? The
demand has been made by the "ulti-
mate consumer" What will be his
verdict on the new schedules a year
after they have gone into effect? The
answer is not difficult. II there is no
reduction in the cost of living his
complaints will be renewed and an.
other period of agitation will ensue.

WILL GO TO MEXICO
PRESlDEN: TAFT TO VISIT
NEIGHeoRiNo REPUBLIC.
Action Should Put an End For All
Time to Silly Idea That tho
Chief Executive May Not
Leave Country.

It appears that Mr.. Taft Is not to
meet President Diaz at the middle
of the international bridge over the
Rio Grande, after all. He is to cross
the bridge and enter Mexico. Presi-
dent Diaz is to call on him, too. on
this side of the river. He has to get
permission from his congress to do
this, however, as one of the laws of
Mexico forbids, actually or practi-
caily, the president from leaving that
country without the consent of con-
gress. That permission, of course, has
always been obtained when Gen. Diaz
has asked for 1t.
In our case this consent is not nee
essary. One provision of the United
States constitution provides that In
the case of the presidents Inability
to discharge the duties of his office,
the same shall devolve on the vice
president" This is the basis of the
assumption that a president is not
allowed to go outside the country. 1t
may be said that, if outside the boun-
daries of the United States, a presi-
dent could not perform his customary
functions. There might be a physi-
cal as well as political obstacle in
the way. Yet this has not always
acted as a deterrent. President Ar
thur crossed the line into Canada for
a few hours, and the machinery of
the government was not disarranged
to any discernible degree.
Mr. Roosevelt, who smashed many
precedents, went to Panama in the
last half of his service, and thus was
long way and for long time out
side of the United States. He did
not suppose that, during his tour he
had abdicated the presidency. Nor
did the country. Mr.. Taft will, when
he enters Mexico, find that he is not
violating any law or dangerously as
sailing any custom. Messrs. Arthur
and Roosevelt, especially the latter,
paved the way for him. A good re-
suit of his visit across the line will be
that we shall probably not hear again
OF that fictitious barrier which COM
pels president to stay in the coun-
try during his term. Usually it is bet
ter for the president and the country
that he remain in close touch with
things at the national capital, but If he
drops over to call on a neighboring DO
tentate for a few hours the govern
ment at Washington would still live.
