TAFT AND. THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL

Not long ago Golfers Weekly called
atAention TO the Wall Street Journal
- hsing ons Of the most fearless and
fair papers In the country. The
journal has been conspicuous both for
protesting against the indiscriminate
criticism. oftan unfair. OF financial op-
erations and at the same time when
there has been cause has pitilessly
Sxposed shady dealings in tho finan-
cial world. The fact that the major
1ty Of the subscribers to this paper
are men who have large holdings,
makes this all the more remarkable.
The obvious honesty Of its editorial
policy led Golfers to say:
Finally. the intrinsic truth Of the
'Journala' words Is important. We
trust the character Of their source
viii carry conviction where a more
radical publications. uttsrances might
Be read with some reservation"
Therefore the view that the Wall
Street Journal takes on the tariff and
Tart Il particularly worth while. The
paper probably has better sources of
inside information than most of the
other New York papers and that is
saying much.
Up to the time when President
Taft took the matter in hand the tariff
was not even local issue. The term
was too dignified: the unprincipled
huckstering In the lower and upper
houses Of congress had made the Is
sue positively parochial. At least we
have risen from that sordid level and

Discussion to Begin Monday.

At meeting of the Senate committee
on finance today 1t was agreed that the
opening of discussion on the tariff bill
should go over until Monday.
The session of the committee was call
ed by Chairman Aldrich for the purpose
Of arriving at some understanding with
the minority members as to the manner
of taking up the bill. Senators Daniel
and Bailey were not present. but Sena-
tor Money spoke for the democrats and
asserted that the minority was not dis
posed to delay the passage of the bill
by general debate. Mr.. Money asked If
the committee would consider amend
ments offered by the democrats. The re-
publicans declined to make any agree
ment to open the bill for amendments
generally. but said that amendments ad-
mitted to be OF an important character
would be considered.

Representative Ererbe made a success
ful fight for the elimination OF the negro
postmaster at Florence. against whose
incumbency the people OF Florence pro-
tested That accomplished he was de-
sirous that the Florence people and Sen
atOr Smith should choose the postmaster.
But hearing there was likelihood OF

vanian. a temporary sojourner." TO the
Florence postmastership, Mr. Blebe
called upon Mr.. Taft and protested.

able than a white Republican who would
recall the trying period OF 'carpet-bag

II there Is a white Republican IN

Office Of postmaster, there should be no
objection 10 him on the score of politics.
In circumstances a Democrat would have
weak claim 70 present 10 a Republican
President Other things being equal. the
only justification for the appointment OF
a Democrat would be that the President
is desirous Of extending every United
States Senator the privilege OF naming
the postmaster for his home town.

Righ. Of Amendment should Be Zee.

The measure originally heraided the
country over, by a gross perversion OF the
facts. as downward revision Of the
tariff energies from ten-day discussion
in press and in Congress a seriously dis
credited bill. Some reductions OF duty
appear here and there. II is true, but
most OF them, so far as concerns relief
Of the consumer. are merely fictitious.
Others are nulllfed by "jokers' which
restore by devious pathway the tariff
apparently kicked out OF the front door.
A pat example is the lowered lumber
duty. which the clever Mr.. Fordney be-
| lleves win never go into effect. because
there is an ingenious clause designed TO
prevent the Importation Of Canadian lum-
Der. The maximum and minimum fea-
ture is a jungle Of uncertainties. OF which
tho only thing really certain IS that It viii
increase the duties on an unknown guam
tity OF imports. Lower duties on iron and
steel are meaningless. because the duties
that remain are practically prohibItive.
Worse than the failure TO revise tho
duties downward TO any appreeiable ex-
tent Is the attempt in important sched-
ules 70 Increase the amount OF protection,
already al an absurd height in the Ding
ley BILL Not only are the DlngIey rates
maintained in many instances. but IN
others they are raised 10 afford domestic
industries a home market more secure
against foreign intrusion. In the last
mentioned cases the increased duty means
higher price TO the American consumer
OF the protected commodity. To add TO
the consumers burdens. the newly I'M
posed revenue duties strike articles OF
universal use and necessity. I Is per-
fectly true that the passage OF the Payne
bill win enhance the cost OF living in this
/ country. making existence harder for the
millions whose daily toll merely provides
the minimum wants OF the physical body.
Yet It is new proposed to jam this bill
TO impose fresh burdens on the taxpayer
through the House with as little opPor-
tunity to amend as the majority can be
ccerced TO allow We are gravely told
that speed is the prime requisite In the
enactment OF a tariff bill. The repre-
sentatives of the people should not have
a chance 10 impress their views upon f.
but should accept it as a whole, swallow
ms the bad along with the good. because
perfectbility is impossible. It IS a spe-
cious argument but wholly faIlaclOus

The popular opinion seems TO be that
our American women are getting too sd
vanced. As a matter of fact. they are the
sIowest OF all the English-speaklng wom-
en- on the face OF the globe. In England
and all her colonies the women have mu-
nicipal suffrage. while we American wOm-
en- are just awsking 20 the fact that we
have rights and responsibilities which.
without the ballot. cannot be properly
exercised.
Why Is it that in Italy they have public
wash houses for the encouragement OF
cleanliness among the people. while in the
United States we have none? Why is it
that in Russia they have public covered
markets to protect the food OF the people
from the filth OF the city. while IN this
country we have practically none? The
only answer We can make Is that IN a
monarchy the government gives the peo-
pie what they need. while in a republic the
people must ask for what they want

the very ones who are most dependent

to protect the health OF their children.
They live in buildings owned by some
body else. They buy their food from a
class Of people who will do only what
they are obliged 10 do TO keep II up 10 a
standard Of safety Their only place for
recreation IS on public property.
They are absolutely dependent upon the
