The Citizen be- came so accustomed to lying about democrats during the campaign that il seems hard for it to again find the path of truth. One result of the election last month was to relieve the Tucson Citizen and the political boss es behind it of all responsibility for the constitution, repudiating it's con tentions completely. There is one re- sponsibility. however, in connection with statehood remaining on the Cit izen and it's political bosses and that is to see that republican statehood promises are carried ou; in good faith.

A COMPARISON OF REPUBLICANS.

OF REPUBLICANS.
 President Taft now declares thai the days of the pork barrel should be numbered, and intimates that an other bill of the character of forme, ones will merit a veto. That Is a re form that all but those specially III terested can heartily join in. But the president goes much further than that, and reads congress and his par ty d lesson on the combination o' congressman to secure part of the swag as being as dangerous to the public veal in certain of it's aspects as corruption"
 This indictment of republican legis' lation is startling coming from this source. and shows that President Taft sees. which way the political wind is blowing and that he is be coming more progressive In the same speech he further declares: .sThe evil in the corrupt control ot n congress or a legislature by pri- yate interests Is manifest. and al ways calls for condemnation, It IS too bad that the eyes of the president were not open to the log-roliing pro cess-if not corruption-when Al drich. Payne and Cannon were fore ing through the tariff bill which he considered the best tariff law that the republicans ever enacted, but whien be now says must be revised forth with by peacemeal.
 A veto, Mir President, Of the tariff bill which protects the trusts IT plundering the people would have eN- eriastingly made your political for tune. The refusal of his eonstitu- eniS 10 endorse lne sldoupat'ei NA gressman Tawney. whom you espee- iaily went to winona to youch for. shows that such veto would have been welcomed, and the increased insurgent strength and democratic victories from Maine to California in dicate the same feeling elsewhere.
 In extenuation of the president ; signing the tariff bill. it must be said that MT. Roosevelt during his seven years as president. refused to even recommend any tariff legislation, al though its crying necessity was just as urgent then as in 1909. The re- publican leaders, with few notable executions. were stalward standpat- ters. and MT Roosevelt was more subseriyent to their demands on the tariff and other issues than Presi' dent Taf, has been. The great dif. ference in the attitude of the two presidents is that while Mir. Roosevelt was loud in proclaiming reform with a large R, he accomplished no re forms during his two terms of office while Mir. Taft in less than two years has done something and seems vii ling to try and do more. He is mak ing a real effort to reduce ex penses and extravigant appropriations something which Mir. Roosevelt never did.
 The moral of this story is, that n; republican president seems to bs able to divorce himself from :a' worst element of his party; ant whether inclined to staIwartism or in surgentism he finds his hands tied for both factions declare that 'tarif protection is cardinal principle O the republican party" and revision Q the tarin is only a question of stand ing still or a slight reduction
 When we hear of a republican president yetoing an appropriation bill or tariff bill which great ma Sority of his party has voted for. vi shall know with our eyes shut tha the republican game is about playe' out.

 That is mild. inoffensi.e language. characteristic of the glittering and harmless generahties with which party platforms and political speeches abound
 But the ..rascals" to whom NIT. Roosevelt refers are of very differ ent kind from the srascals" that the nation has in mind. and that Mir Roosevelt has whitewashed in the lump in his platform utterances

 Platform blanks and keynote speeches agonize over tseir rela- lively petty iarcenies only for politi- cal effect.
 The "rascals" that have been turn ed out, and upon the turning out oi which republican insurgency is built, are the rascals that concocted the PayneAldrich tariff law-by which great interests are given legal license ;o rob the public to their hearts content.
 These are the sort of "rascais" that must be dealt with by political con- ve2tions and parties in congress. If the Roosevelt platform is cor rect, then Cannon, Hale, Aidrich. Burrows, Tawney, and every one Of the standpatters so furiously fought ! by the insurgents-were right. There is no escape from the logic ' of the situation. Under the Roosevelt reasoning, they, and not the insurgents, ought | to be returned to congress. ! And an inevitable step further
 If the Payne-AIdrich law is right, then insurgency is wrong and stand patism is right, and the fight the in isurgents have made, in and out of congress, is meaningless. From whatever motive, Mir Roose- welt has evidently made up his mind to stick to the president and all his works, and to support him for renom- | ination.
 But where does that leave the in ,surgents?
 And where does it leave the repub- :lican party?
 ! Admittedly. insurgency was it's
 sole hope of redemption-of sur lvfval.
 | And Roosevelt, arch-insurgent, has placed his unqualified brand of ap-
 proval upon the very thing that is most condemned by the insurgents
 and the very commendation of which
