A SICKLY SMILE

and shaped an act to their own lik-
ing, complacently signed IL and then,
forgetting that he was president and
posing as the head OF a political
party, with the cowardice OF the poll
tician instead OF the courage OF the
statesman. openly defended the new
law as ell that II should be under
the platform promise.
The subsequent legislation OF con-
gress,> on which the president. public
ly at least, seems to plume himself,
has in no degree reinstated Mr.. Taft
and his party in the good will OF the
country, nor has 1t even indicated
the power OF the party, for the chief
party measures which were heralded
at the beginning of the session have
died a-borning and no legislation was
effected without material qualifica-
ton by the Democrats and ''insur-
gents" Indeed. in those acts which
were passed there is so little as orig
inally proposed by the Republicans
and so much as insisted upon by the
opposition that the tariff bill Is about
the only bill to become a law which,
as the self-boasted chief OF the party.
Mr.. Taft may proclaim party
triumph.
The smile with which he is report
ed to have contemplated the record
of congress must have been very
sickly smile. and the satisfaction he
gets as such chief Of such a party
must be melancholy one when he
recalls the frame of mind In which he
began his administration little more
than a year ago.

In a significant statement TO the
Peoria conference the president Oh
the Chicago Civil Service association
told of the treatment received at
Springfield by representatives of cfti'
zens' associations seeking a new law
for Cook county.
How are you going TO run the
party" said one of the supposed rep
resentatives OF the people, II you
have no Jobs TO give away?'
This is the gist of the spoils system
argument II ignores the fact that par
ties have been run and are run on
other and better principles than JOB
distribution. II ignores the fact that
the nation or state or county or city
does not exist for the purpose OF sup
porting a party or a ring of politicians
Disgusting itself as party. AS mat
ter of cold fact a politician or party
has no right to give away job,
but since that fact is nullihed in prac
tice IL must be declared and establish

conference that In Cook county alone
there are 1000 jobs to give away, and

When protested at the increase

He took from his shelf some small

than burns.
Either people pay the higher
prices for woollen clothes" remarked
the tailor, ''or else they pay the former
lower prices and get cotton and shod,

do not wear; they turn rusty and get
weak and rotten"

the work of the Sixty-frst Congress
may be considered practically ac-
complished. for very little legislation
of importance Is ever effected during
the final short session. says Henry
Watterson In the Louisville Courier

And this work, in a word, leaves the
Democrats jubilantly confident Of con-
trolling the house OF the next congress

conceding that the Democrats have
ample grounds for their confidence.
The dominating feature OF the
record Is the tariff law. which the
Republicans passed In the pretense OF
redeemlng their platform pledge. but
which was shameless violation OF
that pledge and an outrageous De
trayal OF the consumers OF the coun-

looks upon the consumers as It's legi-

one-tenth less wool In 1900 than In
