One young woman of the navy circle

to the length of her walks and thinks
nothing of inviting her friends among

Too Soon to Boast.

We note a certain disposition to brag
on the part of some of the young men
named by President Taft for high Of
fetal places. Mr.. D~ickinson's assur-
ances of what he is going to do and
how he is going about it and what
tremendous things he intends to
achieve in the var department are
quite unnecessary; and Mr.. Loeb's as
that he is going to be the
best collector of customs the port of
New York ever had, would just as well
have been omitted. Discreet men
rarely inform the world in advance of
what they are going to do; and there
is a scripture which informs us that
away back in the days of the Hebrew
prophets it was adjudged wise to be-
ware the hazards of boasting.

REPUBLICANS FACE A CRISIS.


Besides the tariff, to which presi
dent Taft would confine the work Of
the special session of congress, il is
almost inevitable that the census bill
vetoed by President Roosevelt will
come up for final passage, either as il
was passed by the Sixtieth congress or
amended to meet the objections stated
in the veto. The work Of the census
bureau cannot well wait for the regu-
lar session.
The Importance of the census in
making. the basis for distribution
among the states Of representation in
congress and the election of president
and vi~ce-president is so great that
every person employed in taking it,
whether in clerical or field work,
should be chosen with an eye single
to efficiency and accuracy in the count
of heads. If the application of civil
service rules to some thousands Of
census employees left exempt by the
bill as it passed in the last congress
will contribute to this end, the bill
ought certainly to be amended in this
particular before it becomes a law.
1t seems that everything is cut and
dried for the passage in the house of
whatever tariff bill President Taft and
Speaker Cannon may agree upon, by
compromise or otherwise. The bar.
gain appears to be already made, and
II Mr.. Cannon can hold down the lid
upon the Republican insurgents there
will be no wide latitude in the discus
sion of schedules.
1t is a condition and not a theory
which confronts the new administers
ton. The increasing extravaganza of
the last eight years has brought the
Republican party to the necessity of
raising more money, either by an I'M
popular bond issue or by still more
unpopular taxes. The needed rev.
eaue might be provided by revising
the tariff with a view more to revenue
than to protection, but neither Presi.
dent Taft nor the house leaders will
depart from the principle of protec.
ton. The Republican senate leaders
certainly will not.
The Republican party faces the most
troublesome crisis it has seen since
Mckinley's first election. Every party
is in deep water under whose control
the finance and business of the coun-
try go wrong. The question of the
next few months is: Can President
Taft pull his party back to dry land?
II he cannot the house of representa-
tives to be elected mex year will sure

First White House Auto for Mrs. Taft

| use on all occasions when their jour-
neyings about Washington and in the
| suburbs nave no official significance.
Mrs. Taft's car, like the other White
House automobiles, has the right OF
way over all vehicles in Washington,
and will not be compelled to observe
any speed limit. Her car is upholstered
in dark blue broadcloth and her chauf-
feur wears a neat II transformations
livery of corresponding tint. On either
side at the front are mirrors, which
enable the chauffeur to keep constant
ly informed as to what vehicles are
following him, and thus minimize the
danger of collisions at turns.
The interior of the car is the en-
bodiment of luxury. There is an elec-
trio dome light, supplied with current
from the storage battery of sufficient
capacity to keep it aglow for "a hours.
Occupants of the tonneau can COM
municate with the chauffeur by means
of a speaking tube, or may employ an
annunciator, which cause to flash up
before the eyes of the car driver such
signals as start STOP" "slow,"
faster" right" left" home" etc.
The most distinctive feature OF
President Taft's motors is the insignia
on the side doors, in lieu of the mono
grams which are now displayed by
most owner of expensive automobiles.
The emblem on the presidential car Is
the coat of arms of the United States
in colors and this decoration serves
instantly to identify the car to all
passers by in Washington. The coat
of arms thus emblazoned takes the
place, in a sense, of the red, white
and blue cockades which distinguished
the White House equipage during the
Roosevelt administration.

some time Burns was opposed to the

Gen. Van Ness, a well-born New
Yorker, was one of the many suitors
for the hand of Marcia Burns. He be-
came a resident of Washington, living
at first with his bride in the old cot

of the city, his portrait was painted by
Gilbert Staurt, the mansion erected on
the Burns estate was M of the finest
in the country and the resort of the
distinguished people of Washington.
In Oak Hill cemetery Van Ness had
erected a tomb in imitation Of the
temple of Vesta. On each anniversary
OF his death the legend has it that his
favorite troop of six white horses
make a ghostly midnight gallop around
the old mansion. Whether the bureau

Presidential Power Assumed.

A conference committee of the two
houses Of congress agreed to a pro-
vision in the diplomatic and consular
bill that no Enthusiastically shall be
created unless it has been provided for
by act of congress, and the conference
report has been agreed to by both
houses. What it was that led to the
adoption of this wise restriction we
do not know. But certainly there
should be no power in the president
to create Offices without authority
of congress. The status of men in of.
flee ought to be fixed by law. And
when it is thus fixed it OUGHT not to
be changed except by the action of
congress. A man who is appointed to
the diplomatic service is appointed to
a legally created and a legally de-
fined office, either that of ambassador
or minister. To hold that 4 minister
can be changed into an ambassador by
the act of the president is to admit
that the president has the power to
create a new office. Of course he has
no such power.

COERCION OF LABOR
WoRkMEN ARE AT THE MERCY
OF TRUST MANIPULAToRs.
Demand for Tariff Cut on Steel Prod
ucts Met with Threatened Cut in
Wases-stock Weapon Of
Tariff Barons.

Not very long ago a millionaire gam
bier in steel stocks, temporarily il
| control of important manufacturing
plants, cstounded the business worlt
by closing down and throwing thou
sands of employees out of work in pros
| porous times.
When this stock manipulation got
ready he opened his plants again
Market conditions had absolutely
nothing to do with the temporary idle
ness he forced on his men. He was
gambling on the speculative chess
board and the pay rolls of his EN-
ployes were his chief pawns.
1t is not surprising that employees
of steel manufacturing plants are
again apprehensive. They know by
experience that they are at the mercy
of trust manipulators. Steel trust Off.
Gals deny that there will be any pres.
ent cut in wages. But their denial
does not cover the immediate future.
Demoralized prices is all the excuse
they need for reducing wages.
Balance cause and effect. Steel
trust officials, in spite of Carnegie's
ridicule, are opposed to tariff reduc-
ton. They have lately discovered a
serious purpose to reduce the steel
schedules. Instantly there is a furry
in Wall street. and an organized
squeeze of small holders of steel
stocks.
But the threat of a tariff cut on
steel products has a far wider and
deeper effect than the stock tickers
show. simultaneously with the threat
there arises the shadow of empty DIM
ner pals. There is a counter threat,
though partly yelled, of wage cuts and
lockouts. 1t is the same old story of
cOercing labor into an advocacy OF
high tariff.
Ever since the high tariff barons
were intrenched in power this period
ical coercion has been more Or less
effective. They do not stop at threats,
as we have seen. They close down
plants, regardless of market condi-
tons, at the psychological moment
when hard times will influence public
sentiment. The wage weapon is the
tariff barOns' strongest.
Recent hearings before the ways
and means committee riddled the alb
surdity of the claim that labor gets q
fair proportion of tariff taxes. Labor
gets the crumbs, while the holders of
trust stocks and bonds divide the real
winnings. Yet labor's more or less
helpless position enables the trust
barOns to use it in the manufacture of
public sentiment.
That is why wages fluctuate when
there is no real economic reason why
they should.

Struggle Clearly Defined.

No new congress in the history OF
the United States has ever had a more
direct commission from the people to
tighten tax burdens than the coming
one. The west is aflame with tariff
reform sentiment. The struggle re.
solves itself into one between the
money power and the masses. The
predatory trusts have the forts, the
big guns and the ammunition. Not
only have they the munitions Of war,
but they own the ablest generals and
strategical captains.
Pitted against them is the disor-
ganized body of American consumers.
The people know what they want, but
their campaign is necessarily against
an intrenched enemy. The people are
compelled to rely on the dominant
political party's redemption Of its
pledges. They have no reason as yet
to doubt Taft's sincerity.
