Roosevelt and Beveridge
Courier Journal. J

Reports from Oyster Bay nowadays are likely be denied at
the office of the New York Outlook but it true that Col Koose
welt will support Mr. Beverdge of Indiana 1t will be most interest
) ing to hear his speeches.
Mr. Beverdge is an advocate less ma
teraof the tariff schedules which doctored but tar from de-
stoyed by the clique whose work President Taft has SO warmly P
proved Mr. Beverdge convert to the theory hat
there ought be less robbery than permitted under the best ta
ml ever enacted and less than was permitted under the Dg law
He ardent tariff agaor during President Rooseyels term OF
Office and when President Roosevelt firm andpater as
President Taft has and addition good deal more ado
1t requires skill and discretion roll up ones sleeves to the
tinker for the benefit Of the benecaes although does require
immoral courage President Taft has ndorsed the Payne Adrc
law and appauded Mr. Adch and brayed public opinion Pes
dent Roosevelt skl sdesepped the issue continuing IN effect
by silence and tariff law that suited those most concerned
in its profits About the time he Of office President Rooe
welt was quoted as saying that he interested himself only IN moral
reform and left such purely problems the adjustment OF
tariff schedules and the framing of banking and currency laws
who knew about such things and took interest in
The Courier Journal and still believes that
sons who accept the risk of punishment and who may be punished
if those authority will assert themselves but the drafting of laws
deliberate purpose of robbng one class for the benefit
other If there anything immoral than the tariff system that
in operation and noperon during the of Theodore
Roosevelt its existence has been discovered and proclaimed
Mr. Roosevelt if his angle of vision has broadened that he
longer regards what President Taft calls party solidarity

office AS antgraft tariff he might be finely effective in
rawing attention the enor that have been perpetaed
he name of potectonism His audiences would doubtless forget
n forgive, his tariff attitude in office.
The question that arises is whether Mr. Roosevelt will merely
rive Mr. Bevedge the benefit of his Endorsement by making
speech whether he will Mr. Beveridges attitude to-
ward the tariff ring F
Even Mr. Beveridge and his fellow progressves get
to complete control OF Congress they would do than

oeaker would do what he declined President many more
ouands might be convinced that when looking about for o
