The London Suffragette.
Jew York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening POet.
London has evidently grown used to
Its suffragette demonstrations. Same
grows tame. British justice, imper-
turbably seated in Bow street, pro-
nounces the old alternative of so many
pounds fine or four weeks in jail. That
short spell in prison. formerly mar
tyrdom. has now become q monotone. 1t
is the badge of common service. The
British public, with whom custom makes
right. is probably approaching the con-
clusion that woman's riot at the open
ing of parliament is part of the consti-
tuition. like the royal procession or the
speech from the throne. II parliament
should assemble and q police inspector s
face be not slapped by one Of Mrs. Pank-
hurst's Macedonian phalanx. ''Defensor
Patriae' would write to the Times about
It, The only tangible result Of some
three years rioting has been an increas-
ed appreciation of the tactfulness and
good-natured efficiency OF the London
''bobbie."

Roosevelt and the Tariff.

| Bishop Bell of Los Angeles is quoted as
| saying in an address before California
chautauqua:
'If President Taft fails to make good
on the tariff and disappoints the people
after making them promises. IL may pe
necessary to recall to the White House
our dearly beloved Theodore.
Either the good bishop Is not familiar
with the record. or else is q subscriber TO
the homely old philosophy that the hair
of the dog is good for the bite.
His dearly beloved Theodore" took OF
flee with the promise to carry out the
policies of his predecessor. 1t was
happy expression. and chimed with both
the sense OF the situation and the senti-
ment OF the times. Mr.. Mckinley had
| served with the utmost acceptability In
the White House. and at the hour OF his
death the country was prospering as
never before. 1t was good to hear from
his successor, therefore, that the country
should fully realize on what was con-
tanned in the Mckinley policies.
Now 1t so happened that Mr.. Mckin-
ley in his last public speech had COM
mitted himself to tariff revision Had he
lived he would have asked Of Congress
at its next session-less than three
months away-a revision on protection
lines of the Dingley law. then but four
years old He had stated the case in his
| Buffalo address.
Why did not Mr.. Roosevelt take that
up with Congress? It was not only In
| line with his promise, but the very thing
the country expected. Had he done so.
fortifying his message with references to
Mr. Mckinley's authority In the field OF
the tariff, he would undoubtedly have Sc
cured action on the subject.
But for some reason. he passed over the
tariff at that time, and addressed himself
to other things. Later his attention was
called to the subject, and then he prom
Used message, but never sent 1t in The
tariff was lost in the strenuous shuttle,
and not q step was taken by him toward
carrying out the most momentous policy
Mr.. Mckinley had in mind when death
took him.
So that IL our tariff task Is today un-
usually difficult. whose fault Is 1t SO much
as that of the man Bishop Bell would call
to Office again to "save the country"
Who does not know that the inequalities
of the Dingley law could have been cor
rected with comparative ease eight years
ago If an appeal had been made in Mr..
McKinley's name, and the influence of the
national administration thrown in its IA
vor? And why did Mr.. Roosevelt, after
pledging himself to the Mckinley poll
cies. neglect the most important of them
and permit the country to drift into the
present tariff embarrassments? Ask Mr..
Aldrich.

The Presidents Travelling Expenses.

measures its obligations and lives up TO
them. And this generation has not seen
ANYTHING resembling niggardliness In an
occupant Of the White House Inc NE
there in every particular has reflected
the best aspects of American ease ana

But regrettable as the Houses debate
and vote were, they will not count In the
details Of the Presidents journey. He Is
going through the west and the south,
not as a show card, nor for any ,parti-

The Cuban Lottery.
From Havana:

president Gomez has issued an order
directing the bureau In charge of the
National Lottery to reserve at the first
drawing ticket No. 1895 for his personal
account. the number commemorating the
outbreak of the final war of independ-
ence.''
This is in the true gambling spirit, but
should the president of the republic play
thus for personal ends a patriotic date?
If he wins the grand prize he will appear
selfish, and IL he loses an injury may be
inflicted on a superstitious people. II
there Is no lottery luck in 1895, will they
continue to cherish the ear as they
should?
