cost OF LIVING" INQUIRY.

A CCORDING to Washington dispatches,
President Taft is very much in earnest in
his desire that the inquiry into the high cost of
living shall be made thorough whether the
Aldrch-Payne bill is "whitewashed" or not
1t has been intimated that some Congressman,
especially those from Western states, think that
there is no real desire to get at the truth. No
doubgth stand patters' would like to avoid
anything that might involve the tariff Just as the
democrats would seek TO place the entire respon-
sibility on the tariff Not few Democratic
leaders however have admitted that the tariff
even from their point of view is not solely
responsible for high prices. They have been
doubtless impressed by the fact that a lowering
of duties on some articles has not been followed
by a reduction in the price, although such
result was freely predicted during the tariff
debates. Even il it should be shown that the
tariff is responsible, there is no certainty that
the Democrats would seriously change the tariff
II they had the power to do so. The recent
making of a tariff need only be recalled to
show how strong is the protectionist sentiment
among the Democrats. Some of their Senators
openly violated the mandates of their party's
platform and dehanty announced that they
would not be bound by IT,
The inquiry under the direction of the admin
istration ought to be very thorough if il is to be
made. II it shall be found that the tariff is
responsible for conditions that have proved
burdensome sentiment will be revived for an
other revision of the tariff and that Sentiment
will take the form of insisting on a tariff com
mission TO act at least as an advisory commits
sion. And If the tariff shall be shown TO be
oppressive in instances no one will be more
insistent in urging change than President
Taft And through the President is almost the
only means by which such changes could be
brought about For taking the side of the low
tariff or free traders they are brought to face the
plain fact that the Senate cannot be changed for
years TO come and no change can be made in the
immediate future unless through Republican
means. Mr.. Taft is reported as saying that it
would be bad politics to dodge the cost of
living issue. and in this he is right

MAKE BERTHS
FOR STATE MILITIA

II the bill which Senator Cummins of
Iowa has introduced in the United States
Senate, providing for the appointment OF
675 additional officers for the army be-
comes a law, 225 or one-thlrd OF the num-
ber, will be appointed by the President
from the militia regiments OF the various
States and the officers Of the District
regiments will have an opportunity TO join
the regular army.
The bill provides that the officers of
the State guard shall have served at
least ten years In militia, that he shall be
Of acceptable age, which, however, is not
specified in the bill, that he shall show
military aptitude and shall be able to
stand a technical, academic and physical
examination. This examination is to be
prescribed by the secretary OF war.
no militia officers shall be eligible for
a commission in the regular army for
grades higher than one grade below that
held by them in the State guard. For in
stance a first lieutenant in tho militia
might become a second lieutenant IN the
regulars; or a captain a first lieutenant.
The remaining two-thirds OF the new
quota of officers is to be drafted from the
ranks OF the regular army.
1t is stated in the bill that the demand
for instructors in military schools for
military attaches for state militia organi-
zation and for the regular service Of the
army has created a lack of commissioned
officers and has crippled the service. It is
said that West Point does not turn out
lieutenants fast enough to fll the vacan-
/
fore necessary to go into the ranks Of thu
army and into civil life for the needed
officers.

The complaint of the Law and Order Society
against Chief Black has been tempest in a
teapot and the police commissioners were right
in rebuling the agents of the Society who in
this instance appear to have been too meddle-
some. There Is nothing that we can see harm
iul in the Chief of Police giving any man
certificate of good character, and If liquor is to
be sold under the law, it is desirable that the
traffic should be in the hands of men who can
get some substantial recommendation as to their
character. Chief Black did not urge the court
unnecessary. And most people of the citv we

The Senate evidently has not forgotten former
President Roosevelt and does not intend that he
shall enter active political life if the members of
the higher house at Washington can prevent it.
Among the many things mapped out as his work
by, his friends for the ex-President when he
returns is the digging of the Panama canal, but
the Senate provision is that the Director General
of the canal shall be skilled and learned in the
science of engineering. AS the ex-President is
not a skilled and learned engineer as one Sen
ator said, that clause ought to knock out Roose-
