THE USE OF BETTING.

The new tariff law increased the
Dingley tax on betting to the extent
30 per cent, a duty declared by expert
authority to be practically prohibitory.
One interesting result is this: Being
averse to surrendering its American
export trade to its domestic COM
petitors here in the United States, one
of the largest betting manufacturing
concerns in Europe, the Dick company
of Glasgow will come over here and
tack up a comfortable nook on the
more congenial side Of the tariff
wall. The company has purchased two
acres of land on the line of the Lack
awanna railroad in New Jersey, and on
this factory building nearly two hun
dred and fifty feet square is being
erected. besides a number of out build
ings including power house in size
ninety by fifty feet-the whole plant
being larger than the company's pres
en- one in Scotland. which will still be
operated for supplying the European
marekts.
The New York Commercial charac-
erizes this as case where high pro-
lection has defeated it's own purpose,

ing somebody else, the Commercial en-
cages its readers with the idea that

the consumer He got his when the
tariff was boosted 1t will not matter
10 him whether he buys of an Amer
lean or a Scotchman He is doomed to

Some may rejoice that a new indus
try is thus transplanted to American
soil. But where is the limit? If the
consumer is to have no consideration
al all as he had none in this case any
industry under the sun can be forced
into the American tariff dollhouse. Is
this wise policy?

which they will feel 1t necessary to
consult rather than to command.
If Senator Cummins Is. wrong in
emphasizing the party need of differ
emit leadership and better dominant
party spirit then Is also wrong the
rank and file Of republicans Of his
state and turnout the middle west.
While q republican president has yet
nearly a full term to serve is the best
possible time to get the party in ship
shape to meet the tempests Of strife in
1912. The rule OF majorities must
prevail, but the real test is a majority
of the people rather than q majority of
congress false to party pledge and
party character and tradition. The
standpatter at the time of the flood
was confident that it would not be
much of a shower. Republicans OF
his type may now see little evidence
of storm, but they had better not
take too many chances while the ark
of safety has plenty of room for pas
sage
The real progressive is republican
who stands for greater and better
America, a civilization that scorns
political degradation and republican
party true to dts best character and
traditions and the largest measure Of
public usefulness. The men who be-
lieve such destiny is to be conserved
by Old Joe Cannon and his fellow con-
spirators joined to the idols of Mann
mon should take counsel of conscience
and the lessons of history.

The Closest State.

New York Tribune.l
Nebraska can now lay claim to being
the closest state politically in the whole
union. In the presidential election of
1908 a number of states wavered in the
balance. MARYLAND was the only one to
split its electoral vote, choosing two
republican and six democratic electors
the elector with the largest vote being
la republican. In several other states
the pluralties for one electoral ticket or
the other Were small Mr.. Taft carried
Missouri by 629 votes and Montana by
1907. Mr.. Bryan carried Nevada by
457 votes, Colorado by 1000 and Ne
braska by 4,102. The state officers
were divided between the two parties
in Indiana Minnesota Missouri Mon
tana, North Dakota. Nebraska and
Ohio. In Nebraska, for instance, the
democratic electoral ticket won by
4,102 plurality. A democratic governor
was elected by a plurality of 1854 and
a democratic railroad commissioner by
a plurality of 551. The republican can
didates for the other state Offices won
by margins of from 302 to 1885
SO even a division may occur now
it seldom repeats itself. The pendulum
moves one way or the other. In Mary
land this year democratic candidate
for controller won by about 5000 votes.
But in Nebraska there has been hardly
any disturbance of last years balance.
The republican candidates for minor
state offices this year seem to have
been elected, but their pluralities are
not expected to exceed 1000. That is
a remarkable dem onstration of political
stability or, rather, of the preserva-
ton of an unstable political eauilibri-
UNI. Mr.. Bryan's state at present out
classes all the others in the euualiza-
ton Of party forces. So long as the
democrats and the populists remain
united they just about offset the normal
republican vote. But that unity is con-
ditioned on the maintenance by Mr..
Bryan of his leadership of the national
democratic party. Were he to be dis
placed by any competitor Nebraska
would again become certain republic
can state.

HOGS ARE HIGH,

When hogs are high Iowa is pros
perous. Iowa is prosperous and the
hog hangs high More than that pros
poets are that pork Will remain at its
present attitude for some time The
provision market is on the top shelf
The hog supply is short on market fig
ures whatever may be the case in the
country Packers are unable to ac-
cumulate future supply of fresh
meats and the visible supply of pork
is showing the effects of shortage and
immediate consumption. All this spells
prosperity for the Iowa farmer what
ever it may mean to the consumer Of
pork, and in 80 out of 100 towns e-ad
cities of Iowa the agricultural trade is
the main standby of n1erchandisers.
Thus far in the month receipts at
Chicago show decrease of 1900 from
a year ago. and the outlook favors con-
tinued high receipts, while In middle
days of November a year ago the mar
kets were heavily supplied. In No
vember last year Chicago received $751;
600 hogs, bur present prospects favor
a total hardly more than $4,000 this
month, while at western markets, TOO,
the months total arrivals will fall con-
siderably short of last year. Against
these short marketings of hogs there
has developed a broad demand The
east, which for long time previous 10
ten days ago was buying lightly in the
west, now sends more liberal orders
this way, because the prices east have
risen to levels making Chicago pur-
chases relatively cheaper.

CUMMINs VERSUS CANNON.

The speech of Senator Cummins last
Saturday before the Marquette Club of
Chicago has been awarded widespread
approval. 1t was given excellent re-
ception by the audience to which it
was delivered, and published in full by
scores of papers tho several columns in
length. The leading Chicago journals
and scores Of others about the country
speak In positive endorsement of the
effort and in marked encouragement of
the movement to restore the republican
party to full public confidence.
The evidence produced from the
record justifies this senator and his
fellow insurgents in repudiating the
Cannon-Aldrich program of infidelity
to party pledges and public interests.

THE HANDSPRING OF DEMOCRATIC HOPE

Mr.. Cannon and his supporters pro-
fess to believe the tariff question is set
tied. We are informed that it is
definitely settled and requested not to
raise hell" with it. But is it settled?
In the west we know that it is not.
IIarper's Weekly draws the inference
that it is just beginning to be an I'M
settled question in the east and fore
sees democratic success looming in the
near future as one of the results of Mr..
Cannons definite settlement The hope
is father to the Harper thought but its
outlook is worth the attention of those
who are interested more in the con-
tinued usefulness of the republican
party than in the existence of the Can

"such ratio of democratic gain and re-

The tariff question then. is not set

not stay settled until it is settled right

CALLS FOR LEGISLATION.


Two instances of brutality in auto
mobile driving have appeared with
in the past few days. One driver
ran into a buggy driven by a lady.
The buggy was wrecked and the lady
hurt. The other struck a girl by the
roadside, breaking one of her limbs
and several ribs. In both instances the
automobile drivers never slackened
speed but left their helpless victims to
die by the roadside or secure relief as
best they could. There are too many
instances in which the possession OF
an automobile degrades the owner to
the level Of a brute. Some legislation is
needed that will land a few of these
fellows in the penitentiary
