Tariff Board Rssnlts.

The tariff board provision Of the
new tariff law seems to have justified
itself already as an advanced step in
political and economic reform and to
have paved the way for a permanent
commission with full and specific
powers, such as the president has
recommended to congress.
It may be just as well that con
gress delayed to act on the presidents
recommendation. for by giving an op-
p~ortunity to experiment with the tenn
porary board It has enabled him to
show what may be accomplished under
the administration OF a permanent
body. By appropriating $4,000 to
employ help in determining the appli-
cation Of the maximum and minimum
tariff clause, congress has enabled the
president to vindicate the wisdom and
value of that clause as well as the
principle of the tariff board. But the
chief temporary advantage of this con-
cession lies in the fact that It may lead
to more scientific and satisfactory re-
visions Of certain schedules, an end
much desired by the president, but
which, probably, congress failed to dis
Germ. The president is asking $780,
900 for the further work to complete
his present plan. Experts must be
employed to look into costs Of produc-
ton and trade conditions in the United
States and abroad, and 1t is believed
that congress will not refuse to re-
spond.
The maximum and minimum tariff,
which applies to countries discrimi-
mating against us the maximum
schedule, and to countries not dis
eliminating against the United States
the minimum rate, has already oper-
ated to secure the admission Of about
SO per cent of all American products
to foreign countries free and to OBJ
tain the minimum rate for nine-tenths
Of those articles that must pay a duty
abroad. Rather chan submit to the i'm
position of the additional duty, foreign
countries have made concessions which
amount to a very material revision of
the American tariff. The tariff board
was well nigh indispensable in OBJ
tanning these results. It's service was
to investigate the tariff relations be-
tween the various countries n the
United States, advise the president and
assist the Department of State in
formulating the terms of agreement.
The work of the board is the best argu-
ment in favor of a permanent COM
mission with more unrestricted powers.

A STRONG PARTY MAN.
Roosevelt Characteristic Overlooked
in Political Speculation.

IN Political Speculation.
Cleveland leader.
All reports of Theodore Roosevelt's plans
and purposes, after reaching his own coun-
try. nave 10 be taken with nan doubts.
They are never authorized, and often they
are false. Yet there Is much reason to be-
lieve the repeated assertions, publicly made,
that he will take a more active part in
working for republican success, especially
in New York, his own state, h any
former ex-president ever did.
These statements are probably because
Colonel Roosevelt has always been a
staunch party man. He has worked and
fought for freedom and progress in his
party, but he has always held that it is
an organization which affords more eff
ficient means than any other for obtaining
good results in government and in the
civic progress of the nation. He has had
little patience with men who decry party
government or belittle parties as instru-
ments for working out the plans and pur-
poses Of the people.
AS for restraining precedents, 1t is easy
to foresee that they could not interfere
materially with Theodore Roosevelt II he
decided that he ought to take a more direct
and open part in politics than other men,
similarly situated, though fitting for them.
such barriers mean little or nothing to him,
when large questions and great interests
are at stake.

The action OF the Interstate Commerce

ages the hope tina the combination Of ex-
press companies will not much longer
practice their extortions upon the Ameri-
can people. These express companies. that

Of course could not despoil the public If
railroad presidents and directors did not
share the booty. at the expense also Of
their stockholders, toward whom the Off
cials hold a fiduciary relation. The less
the spoil of the express companies the
larger would be the legitimate dividends
of the railroad stockholders.
Publicity, which the corporations so
much dread and which congress is hesi-
tating to enforce, will reveal what railroad
presidents and directors are sharing in
the express plumber, and that alone ought
to be sufficient to cause a dissolution of
the n~efarious connection. But IL this should
fail, the next legislative step of necessity
will be to d%enounce and punish as a mis-
demeanor the holding of express company
shares by railroad officials. When the
common carriers Of the country perform
their obligations to transport and deliver
all freights intrusted to them the express
companies will disappear for want Of en-
ployment. Thus one cause Of the exorbi-
tant cost of commodities viii be removed.

merce commission has power to prescribe

hibiting the delivery of wet goods in

posing the necessity on the thirsty
mortal in search of a quencher to
p~atronize the street car running to
Havelock and carry the bottle or jug
home with him in person.
Now to accommodate the refrigera-
tor traffic, it is proposed not only to
authorize household delivery in
wagons, carefully labeled to disguise
the cargo, but even TO license three or
four central distribution stations. con
