In its controversy with Tom McNeal,
the Cresset recalls that on account Of the
so-called reduced tariff In the Wilson
bill passed in Grover Clevelands admin
istradon, the tariff was not sufficient to
raise revenue to defray the expenses Of
the government and as consequence
bonds were issued. Evidently, the
Cresset does not remember that the pre-
Gminary arrangements were made for
this bond issue in the latter days Of the
Harrison administration and the bonds
were issued before the Wilson tariff
could have been felt. Such "break"
as this gives Tom license" to say Editor
Axline ought to have more sense and
has more if he would only exercise it. !"

Between the increase in direct taxes
heaped on the people by the state ad-
ministration and the increase in indirect
taxes by the national administration the
common herd are getting their" in
large doses. Undoubtedly, it must be a
pleasure to wear the party yoke to the
people who keep on voting for such a
state Of affairs. If we were all at the
pie counter it might be more easily un-
deraood.

T. A. McNeal, formerly Of this city
and publisher Of the Cres'et, but now
state printer, editor of the Mail and
Breeze and candidate for congressman,
and L. M. Axline, present publisher Of
the Cresset, have renewed their arsu-
ment along political lines. A few weeks
ago. MIR. AxGne, in a discussion Of the
tariff law, asserted that the new tariff law
is not raising the required revenue to de-
fray governmental expenses (which is
very true) and he attributed this to the
fact that the tariff had been reduced on
borax and chloroform and several other
drugs. He also asserted that the gov
eminent is now confronted with neces-
sity Of issuing bonds in times Of peace,
which. he said, would not be the case
i the tariff rates were higher. And
here is where our republican stand-pat
friend made fatal admission unwittinsly
the very thing desired by progressive
republicans and true democrats in a tariff
argument. Tom picked Mr.. AxIne up
in due season. He shows that the tariff
rates in the new law are so hish that
importation Is prohibited and hence there
is no revenue for the government, but
the trusts at the same time put an add
tonal price on their goods and the con-
sumers are held up just the same. We
are glad that this argument is being car
red on between two republican, editors.
Tom McNeal is one Of the deep men
Of Kansas and. for that matter, will
measure up well with statesmen Of ma
6onal eminence in point Of ability, and
his opinions and arguments should have
great weight with republicans. The DIFF
ference between McNeal and AxIine IS
this: McNeal sees where his party is
wrong and has been wrong for many
years. and he quotes cold fad. to prove
it, while Axine is a stickler on tradition.
He takes the strong ground that the re-
publican party can not be wrong and he
employs the same sophistry that was en-
ployed by republican oracles twenty
years ago and which has long ago been
discredited by actual events. He is
strong on appealing to blind partisan
prejudice but otherwise his effort IS
weak-pitiably weak. With MI. Nc
Neal, we believe that Mr.. Axline knows
better and ought to wake up.

Because the republican party was
right on some questions thirty years ago,
is no indication that it is right now. To
be republican for the single reason that
daddy was a republican, is to publish
yourself to the world as big chump.

We are still hoping that Tom McNeaI
beats Dan Anthony in the republican
primary in the first district. There seems
little hope Of electing democrat in that
densely republican district and Tom in
congress would be a great improvement
over Dan. In fact, on the most impor-
tant national questions, Tom McNeal is
taking the peoples side as against the
trusts. Put him beside number Of
eastern democrats that could be named
and the most partisan western democrat
would choose McNeal. If there were
a sufficient number Of McNeaIs, Muir
docks and La Follettes in the republican
party it would be tolerably respectable
organization.

The press dispatches state that while
President Taft will recommend the pos
tai savings bank congress will not push
the plan until next year. The postal
savings bank will stand aside and give
the central bank the right Of way. AS
Wall Street is back Of the central bank
and opposes the postal bank it would
seem that the Wall Steet crowd makes
a double killing. And still there are
