fELlEF NOT AT HAND
REPUBLICAN PARTY PLANS NO
TARIFF REDUCTIONS.
President Taft's Message, In That Re
spect, Disappointing in the Ex-
treme--Delay Of at Least a
Year Is Proposed

In considering sevegally during the
past year the claims OF different
countries to be entitled to the benefit
of tho minimum tariff the case OF
Canada gave President Taft particu-
lar diHculty and was disposed Of
last OF all
After 1t had fortunately been de
cidcd chat the penal maximum tariff
schedules should not be imposed on
imports from that country uegotia-
tIons contemplating a formal reel
procity treaty between Union and DO
minion followed as natural sequence
These negotiations, interrupted dur
ing the summer were resumed in
October and continued into NOYem-
Der They are now in suspension and
Mr.. TAFT, accordingly, gave no details
a his nc sage to congress and only
expressed hope that they may be
successful
1t is evident that Mr.. Taft sincere.
iy desires the conclusion of the pro
posed Canadian arrangement and
will permit no stand-pat resistance to
interfere with the object of the nego-
tiations, so far as they are in the con
troll of the executive.
The possible reduction in duty on
few Canadian imports that would
result from the success of the nego-
tiations Is, however, the only tariff
reduction Mr.. Taft promises the peo-
pie for an entire year. To the Wide
spread demand for early relief from
some of the more outrageous pro-
visions of the act of August 5, 1909
which popular demand was evidenced
in very striking fashion during the
campaign-the only response he
makes is the response of himself and
the administration leaders during the
campaigns continuance.
That is to say, he again promises
relief through his Tariff Board" the
name by which he dignifies his "as-
tistants" in the matter, of the tariff,
whose official character is question
able and who have no greater author
ity than an assistant secretary or
stenographer in the presidents Office
or a departmental clerk. Mr.. Taft
says frankly that these assistants"
cannot complete their work and sub
nit recommendations during the pres
ent session. He hopes, however to
present something from them during
the session that begins a year FROM
this December.
1t may be pointed out thet Il is ex-
tremely doubtful whether any reci-
procity treaty with Canada, even II
one is arranged, could be ratified by
the senate before the beginning of that
session.
Annual messages have rarely con.
tanned passages as disappointing.
With the state Of the public mind and
almost every other circumstance
favorable to reform of at least four
or five schedules. a reform to which
he himself is privately inclined, Mr..
Taft ignores the psychological mo-
ment, so far as his party is concerned,
and weakly consents to a delay of
whole year,
Any relief from the more burden
some tariff exactions that is given be-
fore March next must come from
the initiative of Insurgents and Demo
Gratis. The White House declines to
furnish the initiative and II an at
tempt is made will probably offer OBJ
struction rather than help.

BallInger May Like Il.

If Secretary Ballnger is pleased
with his "vindication," he is welcome
TO all the pleasure he can get out of
the situation. On a supposedly full
hearing of all the evidence and after
able arguments by opposing counsel,
the committee having the matter in
charge makes reports--according to-
the political beliefs and positions of
its members
One set Of men declares the secre-
tary guilty Of acts which should debar

The other set would make him appear
a sort Of angel Of political light and
personal honor.
Fortunately for the cause of truth,
the jury before which he was tried
was the nation, not a mere commit
tee The overwhelming verdict Of
that jury is of such nature that Mr.
Balllnger may be thankful It is not

Washington, d. C.--Joseph Stuart,

secured by mail subsidies"
Mr. Stuart also recommends an in

John Bailey, a young man about

o'clock Bailey, it is said by those
who witnessed the actions of the
young fellow, was going to his home
at $40 Carroll street, when he stopped
in front of house, ST South Ninth
street, and began throwing rocks
through the windows. One of the
stones struck little seven-year-old
girl inside, on the head, closing one OF
her eyes and causing painful wound.
Another rock struck the mother of the
little girl on the arm.
After giving vent to his ugly feel
ings by throwing rocks through the
windows for several minutes Bailey
| went somewhere and secured a gun,
returning several minutes later. The
police were called and went to the
house On South Ninth, where they
found a crowd of more tran hundred
persons gathered outside, called to the
place by the excitement.
The perpetrator of the misdeeds,
the throwing of the rocks through the
| window panes and lurting the child
! had made his escape. The officers
went to his home, but were forbidden
entrance to the house by the mother
of the boy. 1t is said that the actions
of young Bailey in destroying window
panes and injuring the persons in the
