But a Short Time.

Anxious, q nation awaits the re-
turn to her shores of her most dis
tiugulshed citizen, Theodore Roose
welt the distinguished American,
soldier and statesman is expected
soon to set foot again on his native
shores, after year spent in recrea-
ton.
Nest aaxiogsly are his views on
the political situation awaited.
The regulars and the insurgents
alike are wondering what stand
Roosevelt will take on the questions
of state about which a division has
arisen in the Republican party.
He will have an opinion and will
not be slow to express it after he
has carefully looked into the situa
ton. Just what stand he will take
is unknown, but he has always been
a reformer and has always labored
TO break down evil habits and tend
encies and curb the cupidisy of cor
porations and combinations.
He has never been a friend of the
politician who would succeed by
foul means.
A friend of the people and an
enemy of selfish greed he may be
expected to stand for the right as
against avarice and oppression.
The most honored man in the
world today his werd and wish will
have great weight with the people
He made Taft president and can
not desert him.
Our guess is, with all his positive
ness aad courage, his policy will be
con ,iliatory and conservative and
much will be done towards recon
siling the centending forces.

"Here's Your Wule. "

"Has the government moial
right to take from all for the benefit
Of few? ?" asked Gov. Folk at Kan
sas City in a tariff talk to reporters.
But that is not the real question.
The real question is the Gle of
whether the government has NOR
al right to take from all for the ben-
eff of none. Ever since the middle
'oos, when Mr.. Folks party was ie
vising the tariff downward to a rev.
enue basis, this has been the ques-
ton which intelligent men have
asked themselves. None of them
has ever reached an affirmative an
swer. 1t is impossible to find ar
element in our population which
gained anything from that revision
of the tariff downward. Even the
"plutecrats," against whom Mr..
Bryan led his revolt, were tariff
losers at that time. Bank clear
ances diminished in volume because
industry was Frustrated, and bank
ers were compelled to call in and
restrict loans because msny hitherto
solvent borrowers were in danger Of
bankruptcy. T h G manufacturer,

RETAILERS SHIFT THE BLAME.

The attempt made by the retailing
interests to show that they are not
bIamcworthy for the general rise IN
prices on the necessities of life, and
the like demands Of other interests put
one in mind of the famous old Mast pic
tnre where the Tweed ringsters of New
York are represented as each pointing
to the other as the real thief.
The retailers lay the blame upon the
farmers and the packers. while it is a
we'll known fact that for the most part
the farmers are not given consideration
by the combines any more than The con
sumers are who buy from the combiua-
ton. The combination fixes the prices
both ways; the prices that are paid the
farmers. and the prices it will charge
the consumers. Naturally the consumer
blames the retailer. who is the one who
makes the immediate advanced charge;
but the charge is fixed by the combina-
tfons who dictate the high price of all
food stuffs and everything necessary for
comfortable living.
1t is all we'll enough for the retailers
TO try 10 blame somebody else; but after
awhile in the Congressional investiga-
ton we shall hear the farmers side OF
it, and note the complaints which they
make of being deprived of the prices
they should Justly receive. as compared
with the prices the consumers actually
pay There is big gap right there that
the people in this country are extremely
anxious to have at least partly closed

HEYBURN's GOOD SERVICE.

That tho attack made by Senator
Hepburn in tho U. s. Senate on Tues
day against the unlawful activities of
the forestry service, in this Western re-
gion, is a Just one, is Il fact we'll known
| 10 every observing person. Senator
| Hepburn gave details. named Names
and stated facts, in way that demon
stratcd his case absolutely.
The mining men in these Western
states have also had occasion to deal
with the same kind of arbitrary action
on the part of officials of the forestry
service In reply TO protests made by
miners of Colorado something like two
wears ago, when the fores,crs interferod
with lawful mining operations, Chief
Forester Pinchot sent ont circular de-
nyine the facts, and showing that the
forestry service had nothing to do with
the matter under the law. Ii is quite
true. as shown by the Colorado people,
and as shown in the Pinchot circular,
that the forestry service had no legal
right in the premises; that the opera
tions Of the miners were conducted by
virtue of the laws and regulotion dciin.
ing the duties and powers of another
department of the government altogeth
er. And vet the fact of the interfer-
encc of the foresters was without the
least doubt. The protests of the miners
had to result to bring to public notice
that such interference was illegal. But
while Mr. Pinchot stated that it had not
been done, the facts and the proofs
showed conclusivelv that il had been
done, admittedly in transgression of the
law.
Of course, Smoot knows as well as
any one that the showing made by Sen.
ator Hepburn is true; and vet, for the
purpose of ingratiating himself with the
powers that be. and getting favors po'
litically. he fights against what he
knows is true, and defends what he
knows TO be illegal and wrong,
Senator Heyburn is doing the country
good service in calling attention to the
abuses. politically, by the unlawful or
ders and intrusion of the forestry
service. His colleague. Senator Borah,
in supporting Mr. Hepburn S state
ments. corroboratcs the facts as given,
and joins in protesting against the
abuses and illegal acts perpetrated
against settlers who were not able to
protect themselves; they did not have
money 10 90 to law: they did not have
the power to resist the illegal orders
that dispossessed and oppressed them.
But now that a powerful voice has been
raised in their behalf in the Senate, per"
haps there will be a reaction against
the extreme views as to forestry that
have been so widely spread, as a mere
sentiment in unjust dealings with set
Tiers and those who wish to develop the
Men are of more worth to country
than trees, as Senator Hepburn so aptly
points out, and domestic fiocks and
herds have more OF advantage than sage
brush and grazing plats.

FORAKER IN THE FIGHT.

1t Is surprising to see the universal
uprising against the payment of the cor.
poration tax. Lawyers all over the
country are convinced that this form of
tax is unconstitutional; il will be fought
upon every imaginable ground, and will
be resisted TO the last extremity.
OF all those who are assailing the va
lidity Of this tax, however, ex-senator
Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio is the one
who is taking the most heartfelt salts
