Significant Tariff Testimony.

1t is a fact of the utmost practical
Importance, though the political tariff
makers do not seem to realize it, that
the strongest demands for downward
revision of the tariff have come from
representative manufacturers. The
house committee has perhaps been too
busy to ponder and assimilate the tes-
timony of the witnesses who have
given it the most valuable information,
but there are Indications that some of
the committeeman are unable to rid
themselves of the political view of
the question. They do not distinguish
between honest, ~businesslike investi-
cation and mere agitation" When
manufacturers propose a permanent
tariff commission of experts to study
rates and recommend changes from
time to time they raise the cry of"un-
certainty" and insecurity"
Now it is from manufacturers like
Messrs. Van Cleave, Miles and Car
negie that the politicians will gradual
ly learn that tariff agitation unsettles
business only when it is ignorant,
shallow, devoid Of principle, when tar
ifs are the products Of deals, trades,
grabs, favors. In scientific, above
board revision based on simple, ac-
cepted principles-such as difference
in labor cost-there is no danger to
industry and commerce.-Chicago Rec
ord-Herald (Rep.).

concentrated Power"

Concentrated power is palpable, Wis.

ly held to account. Power scattered
through many administrators, many
legislators, many men who work be-
hind and through Legislators and ad-
ministrators, Is. impalpable, is unseen,
Is irresponsible, cannot be reached,

President R%oosevelt's message.
Napoleon acted on this theory of the
advantage of concentrated power; so

dictators; but having acquired the
power they refused to be held account.

Having carefully studied the history
Of tyranny, the fathers of the republic
thought it wise to distribute power be,
tween executive, Legislative and jul

and to divide national, state and local
governments, each accountable to its
constituency. But the wisdom of the
| fathers is foolishness to Theodore.

TO DEFY WISHES OF ELECTORS.
Standpatters Propose to Be a Law
Unto Themselves.

No surprise is in order because the
tariff standpatters are laying plans of
complex political craft to tie President
elect Taft's hands after inauguration.
They typify the parasitical east, re-
fusing to heed recent political lessons
from the producing west.
1t is a mistake to suppose that they
do not know what the country de-
mands in the way of tariff revision.
The ominous election returns from
several important states would edu-
cate them, if nothing else could.
We are compelled to face at the
outset, the knowledge that your dyed
in-the-wool standpatter ignores cleo.
tion returns. 1t is his business to
postpone tariff revision, as long as pos.
sible. He may see other standpatters
moved down by western ballots, but
as long as his own election certificate
Is sure he will not abdicate as a polit.
ical lackey for the eastern tariff
barons.

state, not very far from Elmira, N. Y.
His father was a business man, and
his uncles were the local bankers.
Young Dawson was graduated from
the Troy high school at the age of Is
years, and when. he was 16 he was
teaching school, having in his class
some boys older than himself.
He kept at this work for a term or
two, and then entered his uncle's bank
as a clerk. There he got a fairly
good knowledge of the banking bust
ness and widened his acquaintance SO
that in a year or so he got an offer of
a bookkeepership from the Pequen-
mock National bank, of Bridgeport,
Conn.
He gave perfect satisfaction there,
but he himself was not satisfied, for
he wanted to get into the larger game
and become a New York banking man.
So he sought and obtained a position
in the Aston Place bank in this city.
He was only 20 years old, but he 500
became receiving etller.
The Aston Place bank became a
branch of the Corn Exchange bank
and Dawson went to the Liberty
National and in six years worked up
from n position to another until he
became president of that institution.
He resigned to become vice-president
of the First National, and he has held
that important position for six years,
taking ever a more and more active
and prominent part in general banking
affairs and having his advice more and
more sought by the big men of the
financial world.
During the business depression and
financial disturbances last year Mr..
Davidson was a member of the special
clearing house committee which made
a searching investigation into the af-
fairs of many financial institutions,
and he took part in all the important
meetings of the big men Of Wall
street, notably those called by j. Pier.
pont Morgan.
Mr.. Dawson Is also what President
Roosevelt would call an outdoor man.
He is fond of all athletic sports, Is a
good shot, good rider, good billiard
player. What he does he does with all
his heart, and he displays the same
energy in his amusements as in his
business.
He is younger looking than he is, al
though his smooth-shaven face has q
serious cast. His rather determined
mouth still shows the humor his more
intimate friends know him to possess
in large measure.
And J. Pierpont Morgan, as keen a
Judge of men as may be, having
watched Mr.. Davison's career and
studied his character and methods
closely for years, has chosen him for
q partner b his big banking house. To
Wall street men that is the highest
Endorsement which could be given, for
they know that it would not be OBJ.

Need for ! Political Union.

Conditions of American life change
rapidly. The struggling infant indus.
tries of one decade become the ar
rogant, over-pampered trusts of the
next. They fight the removal Of
odious and unnecessary customs duties
for selfish reasons. They pack tn.
halls of congress with "standpatters."
American can find relief
from their intolerable burden only in
political union. That is why the
American west, peopled mainly by
thrifty consumers, is gradually forging
political thunderbolts.
