II the sole result of the secret serv-

cused members OF congress is to lodge
an abortive charge at the door of Sen
ator Tillman the president might well
have used the federal detectives on
some other mission.
If this is the net spells of the chase
II Is doubly unfortunate. First, be.
cause Senator Tillman has done the
country some real service, and even
has enlisted heartily In support Of
good Roosevelt measures, although n
Roosevelt or Roosevelt's party. Sec.
ondly, because Senator Tillman was
VIGOROUSLY a personal enemy OF the
president. and whatever indictment
Mr. Roosevelt might bring against him
would lose weight by reason OF that
fact
But 1t does not seem that Tillman
has committed any crime, or he surely
would have been under prosecution
for It by this time. lnasmuch as the
secret service operators did not bring
In Foraker for his relations with
Standard Oil. and failed to entrap any
other members Of congress constantly
engaged in serving special interests. It
certainly seems that, whatever any
members OF congress might have to
fear from letter.file thieves there was
no real reason for any of Them to fear
the secret service.

or course II is necessary to find some
thick skinned scapegoat that will tai
all the blame II the Republican party
should, after all, squirm and evade its
ante-election tariff reform pledges.
Just now the public mind is being
prepared for an intimation that, II
consumers burdens are not lightened
in the new tariff bill. the wicked SEN
ate will be responsible. Even
though President-elrct Taft and the
house ways and means committee
should Jointly battle for the relief OF
consumers. we are told TO expect GER
tain emasculation of n genuine tariff
reform bill by the upper house.
That might mean n presidential
veto, and an appeal to the people. And
again 1t might not. Politically, 1t
would merely mean that the Repub-
lcans were making an attempt to
keep faith with the people, and that
the senate must take all RESPONSE
billty for failure 10 do so.

ending circle seems to be very much
in earnest. The results are not com.
mensurate with the dogs apparent
sincerity OF purpose. The tariff stand.
patters would like to pacify popular
sentiment without accomplishing any
thing In the way of real tariff reform.
II all resolves itself into whether
the Republicans, as national party,
means to back up their ante-election
tariff reform pledges with real legis.
lation in the interest OF consumers, or
whether these pledges were for po'
litical effect only. The senate may be
dominated by trust agents, but that
Is not necessarily final obstruction.
There are methods OF bringing even a
rebellious senate to terms, II the ad'

We will soon see how much OF the
Republican programme is based on
the known wishes of the great body
OF consumers. The robber trusts do
not seem especially perturbed. They
will not object to game Of politics
