The Parties and the Tariff.

Goblin. not Short. is the friend Mr.
Champ Clark assures the country of this.
His text is the tariff plank of the Indiana
republican platform. He reads that as a
confession by the republicans themselves
that they deceived the country in 1908,
when they promised in substance, re-
vision downward. But they want another
trial Give them that. and they will do
the right thing. Should they have an
other? Goblin thinks not Goblin is the
friend
But Short has a reply. How about 1892?
He points to COLLINS promise of that
year, and the performance Of 1894. Was
ever the country more grievously deceived
than then? Did not Mr. Cleveland him.
self confess as much? Did he not. over
his own signature, tax Goblin with per
fdy and dishonor"? Is Goblin better
man today than then? Where are the
papers to prove it?
Discussion has often played around the
failure of Mr.. Cleveland to veto the Cor
man Wilson bill. He had it at his mercy.
He had denounced it in the most vigorous
terms ever applied by a President to an
act of Congress. Here was the strong
man: here the weak bill. And the weak
bill triumphed. Goliath sat at his desk,
his pen hand pa1sied before a measure
which he execrated.
Why? There is much responsiveness in
the argument that Mr.. Cleveland saw
disaster ahead whichever course he took.
A veto meant another appeal to the coun-
try on the tariff. with the veto weapon
in the hands of the republicans. A failure
to veto meant the bill itself, already de-
nv ho President in
the hands of the republicans. The situa-
ton being hopeless, Mr.. Cleveland, after a
little shutting, and in selfish effort to
save his own face-let the party's face, al
ready disfigured, go hang-permitted the
bill to become law without his sigma
ture.
The burnt child breads the fire says
Mr.. Clark. II does. But what is this
dear child of a country TO do? 1t is be-
tween two fires. The democratic flames
licked it terribly in 1894, and Mr.. Clark
is distressed at the wounds inflicted last
year by the republican flames. Both fires
are blazing. and Mr. Clark expects to be
chief stoker soon before the furnace doors
of the democracy. II he presides over
the next House 1t will be his duty to
name a ways and means committee in
sympathy with the democratic idea of
tariff reform What sort of bill will that
committee report for democratic House
to pass?
The old debate. Old as the hills. Cod
lin and Short. The pot and the kettle
The country has heard it time' and time
again. 1t begins this year in lively form.
How will the voters be impressed, and
what will be their decision in November?

while the wind was high and oil lamps
were subject to sharp Pickering and were
likely to be blown out, one chauffeur was
arrested for lighting his gas lamps. the
use of which is technically prohibited
within the city limits. and turning them
down so low that they emitted about the
equivalent of the oil lamp illumination.
At the same time another chauffeur was
stopped in the street by policeman and
ordered to light his gas lamps on ac-
count OF the prevalence of the high wind.
This is a sample of the lack of team
work on the part of the cycle squad spe-
cially detailed to watch automobilists
and enforce the traffic regulations. The
cases cited are actual instances. the two
chauffeurs having headquarters in the
same garage. Automobiles complain Of
other annoyances, such as arrests for tri-
fling .mischances like the accidental fall
ing of strap over a license number
while coal carts and other vehicles are
permitted without even admonition to vio-
late the traffic regulations by proceeding
along the wrong side of the street. turn
ing corners to the left and otherwise in
terfering with the street use.
The members of the cycle squad should
be more carefully instructed in their du-
ties and responsibilities. They are not
stationed on the streets to annoy motor
lists drivers. but to see that the traffic
regulations are reasonably enforced. In
accordance with their spirit. Ii the rules
are to be strictly construed they should
be thus applied indiscriminatingly both as
to degrees of offense and individuals and
kinds of vehicles. There can be no gen
eral respect for the street rules If there
is no uniformity in their enforcement.

Watterson on Roosevelt.

The first reading of Mr.. Watterson's
tribute to Mr.. Roosevelt suggests a nomi
nation to kingship. So startling a propo
sitiOn commands a second reading, and
then one sees the point. The article il as
beautifully sprinkled with ifs as pud-
ding is with currants. eff the people are
tired of republican forms. If me Con.
stitution has failed. If monarchy is
the best way out
But Mr.. Watterson himself subscribes to
none of these things. He does not believe
that the people are tired of present forms
He does not believe that the Constitution
has failed. He does not believe that the
monarchical form is the best government
for men. Start a movement based upon
those propositions, and with the establish
ment of monarchy as the object, and one
of its most vigorous and eloquent oppo-
nentS would be the distinguished Ken
lucky journalist. No king for him. Uncle
Sam, uncrowned, and in simple garb, still
receives his respectful, and even devoted
salute
What Mr.. Watterson has done-and was
not that his real purpose ?-is to take off
the "Back-from- Elba" gentry. Theys be-
vail the existing order of things. The
Constitution. in their eyes, is WORKOUT
instrument fit for the junk pile. They
would be glad to return Mr.. Roosevelt to
the White House and keep him there for
life. AS they believe. all is chaos and
worse without his guiding hand.
But these men are comparatively few
in number. and have little influence They
do not represent any democrats and
speak only for themselves among repub-
leans. There is today no warrant what
ever for the assumption that in this mat
ter they are in touch with Mr. Roosevelt
The idea that they are printing him for
Q prompt assault on Mr.. Taft end the
administration record, with the object
of turning the President out at the end
Of his term, and that they will succeed
is unsupported by single word or act
of Mr.. Roosevelt. and an insult to his
manhood and the sincerity of his friend.

The old continentals in their ragged
Iegimentals are still the favorite boys
The old Constitution. with all of its
checks and balances, is still intact and
still the best and most substantial thing
OF its kind in all the world. No better
American or better equipped man for the
presidency ever occupied the White House
than William II. Taft. Corruption in pub.

and always will exist. Never before has
corruption been more actively pursued, o,

The Insect and Disease.
rom the indianapolis News

From the Indianapolis news.
Entomology is one of the fertile fields
of science, and the discovery of the role
of the insect in the dissemination of dis
ease constitutes one of the most brilliant
chapters of preventive medicine. There
is scarcely common insect that has
not been arraigned at the bar of science,
and. surprisingly enough, found guilty
of a much graver offense than the mere
Fostering of sleeping, eating and resting
man. The. housetiy, for instance. as we
all now know, carries disease germs on
it's hairy feet and deliberately walks on
the food Of man. Typhoid fever and
other diseases follow in it's wake. The
little fruit fly, the health authorities tell
us. must also be accused. Its methods
are similar to those of the housefy.
People often eat fruit upon which these
little flies may have deposited disease
producing bacteria. House ants. particu-
larly the red ant, cockroaches. house
feas and bedbugs. are all disease car
riers, as has been proved by direct OBJ
servation. 1t has been repeatedly demon
strated that bedbugs can carry the germ
of typhoid fever from the typhoid patient
to a healthy man and infect him.

The Morrill, Acts Extension.

In voting to report favorably the Bou-
tell bill extending the Morrill, acts to the
District of Columbia the House commit
tee on agriculture has acted in accord
snce with the plain logic of the situation
There was never good rea son why the
District should not be included i'll the
system of federal aid to public instruction
along the lines of agriculture and the
mechanic arts. The federal capital ter
ritory is the sole remaining area not
thus favored and benefited. The Bouteli
bill now put upon it's passage in the
House. merely proposes a correction OF
the error by which the District has been
made to suffer.
The amendments adopted by the COM
mittee indicate that the force of all the
reasonable contentious urged before the
committee against the measure in its
original form has been recognized. There
has never been any question on the part
of those i'm opposition to the propriety
of extending the acts TO the District. The
single question was as to the instru-
mentality to be named through which the
acts should be administered.
The committee has selected as such inn
mediate instrumentality an institution
~
ice. and absolutely the only one at this
time available. The committee amend
ments recognize that as nearly as is prac-
ticable and reasonable the instruction
should be free, and that conditions may
change within few years to render it
advisable to name another instrumentality
than that selected. Consequently George
Washington University is designated for
only three years. at the end of which
time the circumstances may be reviewed
and the term of that institution extended
or another chosen as the agency under
the Morrill, acts. At the same time
foundation is laid for giving to students
in agriculture and the mechanical arts
the benefit of approximately gratuitous
instruction in those studies.
Thus amended. the bill meets all the
requirements of the case and should have
the hearty support of every friend of the
District. Prompt action by the House
should follow this unanimous report from
the committee. so that the legislation may
be consummated as speedily as possible
TO insure the beginning of instruction
under the Morrill, acts at the opening of
the next scholastic year.

Restricting the Old Trail.
From the Chicago Post


Kansas is at work. pick and shovel
upon the picturesquely practical work Of
resurrecting the old Santa Fee trail. The
trail forced itself upon the kansans. When
twelve OF the western counties got to-
sether to consider the question of nm
proving their INSTRUMENTATION by road
they had to choose it. The pathway by
which the numbering prairie schooners
made their way to the coast, upon which
the mails went by relay and over which
cattle were driven in thousands. was
found to be the logically perfect route.
It's course was as economically correct
as IL one of the great Hartman engi
neers had laid it out. Upon this basis
the movement for good roads" grew
until now the Santa Fee trail is to be
made a thirty-foot speedway, running
from Kansas City into Santa Fe. Seven
counties already are at work on 1t. and
the task goes forward easily and rapidly
toward completion because q common
dirt surface has been found to be the
best pavement.
