The majority of the cams repre-
scented the Middle Western States. al
though a delegation from Seattle up
held the athletic reputation of the Pa
cifc coast, and Mercersburg Academ.

University High. of Chicago. winner OF
the Illinois, Cook county and Beloit inter-
scholastic meets, was a top-heavy fayorite
as the teams came upon the field for the
first events. While the local enthusiasts

letes ON the field who held different opin-
ions. Among the schools mentioned as
possible contenders were Muskegon, Mich,
Oak Park, Ill; Kansas City, Mo, and the

enormous thefts such organizations
as the American Protective League
Is fostering.
1t may annoy some Republicans
for Republican newspaper to
speak thus openly about the tariff
question. For years the tariff has
been standby of the Republican
party until for the moment we had
almost come TO believe it was our
own. But 1t wasn't. Republicans
have been thinking they were re-
sponsible for the high tariff. But Il
was only a dream. The high tariff
may have fostered some monopolles
but today the monopolies foster the
tariff. The tariff belongs to no
political party, it is creature of
vast wealth and its only duty is to
wiring yaster wealth from those who
still can be squeezed 1t is each mar
for himself and the devil take the
hindmost. The way each one goes
after something for himself or his
district would indicate that the
devil is pretty hard on the trail
OF some of them, too. Today the
tariff is non partisan and 1t is GER
tain to become more so. The in.
surgent movement in congress is a
sign OF the times and it indicates
possible lowering OF the sched-
ules to decent and proper levels.
1t is time this question was getting
honest discussion and It is up tc
the newspapers of the country tc
tell the truth. Some people put par
ty above everything but life would
be much more kindly If justice wer'
made a leading virtue.

TIE REvENuE PROBLEMS.

1t is now conceded that the
revenue to be derived from either
the Payne bill or the Aldrich bill
would not amount TO more than
enough to maintain the army and
navy. Then there is one of three
things to do, put the tariff law OIL
a better revenue basis, stop work
on the Panama canal, all public
works and prosecution of timber
thieves and rebaters, or put the
army and navy away down TO an
ultimate peace footing, where IL
was for so many years.
One OF these things will have Ia
be done. President Taft is trying
the nd-retrenchment, with a
little assistance of more money
from tariff bill. He has already
directed that the future estimates
upon which appropriations are bas.
ed shall be brought within tbs
range of his critical eye and shal
pass through the ordeal of cabinet
committee inspection. This is 9
hopeful aspect of the situation
There is always safety in the re
ltrenchment.
We are waiting with deep anxiety
to see how the president will treat
the third trouble--the war expense.
Will he follow in the footsteps oi
his secretary OF war, who is an
apostle OF arbitration and disarma-
ment, aud cut Off about $50,O0000l
from the war outfit?
This question is prominent now
in the economic situation of this
country, whose powerful efforts for
revision will yield only enough
money TO keep us in fighting trim.
