IT Is az evident now as at any
time during the last seven years
that the people Of the country are
siding with the executive and
against congress. The reason is
plain. The voters look upon the
president as a truer and eincerer
representative of their interests
than is the Legislative body. There
Is only one way for congress to
make itself popular with the peo-
pie and that is TO show itself as
earnest and as intelligent in the re-
form of long tolerated abuses as is
the president himself The people
are with the executive in nospi- -
- al
lna' he has accomplished or at.
tempted to do. The people are
not with congress because it has
been unresponsive TO popular de.

all the more remarkable in view of

Current Newspaper Comment.

A careful review of the Tariff
schedules by Congress will no doubt
reveal many luxuries which could
stand increased rates. On these the
Tariff should be revised upward. If
any other luxuries are admitted free,
let them be taxed. And no tax upon
any luxury should be removed, for
any ~reason.-Washington Post.
If the Democrats in Congress we're
honest they would admit-at>least
most of them-that they are neither
for Free-Trade nor Tariff for revenue
only, but are for what they can III
dividually get for their constituents in
the way of Protection when the
schedules are made up.-Camden
IN. j. POST Telegram.
In the light of test votes and sig
nificant speeches in Congress it is evil
dent that the South is breaking away
from Free-Trade and losing its old
devotion to Democratic doctrines and
the Democratic name-which is a
political event of the utmost import

? A special train bearing Gen1 Supt. f.
A. Could, Genl Supervisor of Maintain.
a ice of Way, J. X. Leightly, OF St.
L ,uis, Div. Supt. A. J. Alexander, Div.
Engineer A. p. Morrison of Sedalia, and
1.-The state railroad commission, arrived in
, Boonville at liAS o'clock last night over
the Versailles 'braSch on a tour Of in
spection, and spent the Ssmainder Of the
: night here. All arose early this morning
and, after looking over the c%otnpany's
i property here, left at I O'Clock over the
River Route for Kansas City.
The presence Of the officials here and
the inspection Of the Versailles branch,
gives foundation to the Of a few
weeks ago that the Mo. Pac., were con-
. sidering a plan to ballast and lay new
heavy rails on the branch in order to
change the routing Of the new fast train
onihe River Route.
The proposed change, according to I'M.
authorized reports, provides that trains
mo. 5 and 6, now running over the River
JRoute between Jefferson City and Kansas
City, will be routed to run from St. Louis
to Upton over the main line, thence to
Boonville, and from ,Boonyille over the
River Route 10 Kansas City and vice
versa.
The presumed cause suggesting the
, change is the thinly settled soction east
between p,onville and Jefferson City
and the great demand between Jeffer-
, son City end Upton for an eveneng train
west, to connect with the Merry-go-
Round into Scdalia.
1t is further proposed, in case the
change 5cco,nes effective, to comply with
the state Law and give the section be-
tween Jefferson City and Boonville a
daily passenger train service, to cause
the PASSENGER low on the Bagnel to run
from Bagncl to Boonville and return,
. connecting with the main line service at
Jefferson City.
Such a time card would it is said, salts.
fly all present demands and be beneficial
financially to the company. This, too, |
would give Boonville one more passenger
train each way N the east end.--Boou-

A Good Suggestion.

There are about 1000 items in the
existing tariff law and the Payne bill
now before Congress ~sundertakes to
change about 200 of them all told.
Only a few Of the proposed changes
are really very important, and In some
al least Of these it. is quite certain that
the Senate will prefer the duties fixed
by the Dingley law, and which have
served their purpose admirably for
eleven years, to the changes proposed
by the House committee on ways and
means.
The debate in the House up to date
has unquestionably increased the
number of observant people through
out the country who believe that it
would have been better to let the tar
if alone at this time.
After eighteen months of compare
tive business stagnation following the
panic of October, 1907, the interests
and industries of the country want a
chance to recuperate, and they don't
want a lot of new tariff problems adj
ded to their troubles.
The Dingley tariff didn't prevent
the country from enjoying the greatest
prosperity it has ever known in the
past decade, and nobody accuses it
OF having brought on the panic Of
1907.
The country could get along for an
other decade most happily without a
single change in the existing tariff,
and it would be far from a public
calamity if Congress should adjourn
without making an alteration in any
OF iA schedules. Denver Republican.
