THE ENGLISH TORIES.

E'om the Register and Leader.
The Register and Leader may as
well confess to little malicious
pleasure in giving prominence to the
tory tariff programme of England.
i fhe American Economist and
other like tory organs in the UniteA
States have been assuring us that 1t
will mark a great triumph for OR
American policy five can force Eng
land to come to tariff restrictions on
our exports. 3s
And all the while it is just as plain
as the proverbial nose on the mans
face that the moment England adopts
a tariff, as it surely Will, the United
States will be the first country to
feel the pressure and will be the first
to open negotiations looking to reci-
procity.
Great Britain is buying of the
United States nearly as much as all
the rest OF the world combined. Eng
land and Canada alone take a large
part Of our surplus. The moment
England puts up the bars and begins
a policy of trade fayoritism with
Australia, Canada. and the other
British colonies, to say nothing of
securing trade arrangements with
South America, the United States viii!
begin to understand what Blaine was
driving at.
Chamberlain has merely appropri.
ated the Blaine idea. He is seeking
to secure for Britain what Blaine
sought for the United States. There
is no reason now why he should not
succeed, for England is being rapidly
converted while we are now further
off from reciprocal trade than at any
time since Blaine smashed his hAt
in Senator Allison's committee room
and told them with emphasis what
he thought of the original Mckinley
tariff bill.
The English tories are wrong about
Everything else but this. But here
they are right. II they can persuade
the people to stand for tariff restrc-
tons on American exports. and UNI
der that shelter can tie the com,
MERGE Of Canada, Australia and the
other English speaking communities
to England, they will gain all the ad.
vantage Blaine proposed to gain fol-
the United States. and will put
enormous surplus to dispose of. IL
will have to sell at prices Europe II
willing to pay.
It is a safe prediction that within
the next ten years the United States
will be making fight for an open
door policy in a much larger market
than that of Manchuria.

FEBRUARY 1910.

February Of the present year was
abnormally cold. and many doubtless
waved it glad goodbye. hoping that
a like February may never return
again. But in many respects the
month of February 1910 might have
beer much more disagreeable. The
fact that the cold weather has kept
the fields nicely blanketed with snow
is certainly advantageous, and cold
weather is preferable to winter rain
storms. The sleighing during the
past month, while not the best, has
been fairly good, and considerable
hauling has been done. The month
has not been noted for billiards.
Just steady cold weather is about
the only charge chat can be made
against our abbreviated winter
month of the current year.

TAFT KNOWS NEWSPAPERS OF
COUNTRY ARE HOSTILE TO

In speech a few days ago at New
ark, New Jersey, President Taft said
that the attitude OF "all the news.
papers" toward his administration wa
either hostile, contemptuous, disdain-
full, patronizing, hypercritical, hyster-
ical or hypocritical. This shows that
Mr.. Taft fully understands that the
newspaper press of the country Is
Adispleased with his conduct as the
nations chief executive, and that he
has earned this displeasure in. one
short year. It is safe to assert that
few, If any, of our presidents were
better liked by the people of the
whole country, when first inaugurate6
than President Taft was on the 4tl
day of last March. His well wishers
We're not confined by any party lines.
They included a large majority of the
members of all parties.
In the smiling days Of promise IL
may have been all right for Mr.. Taft
to be good fellow with everyone,
but as the president of great ma
ton he cannot stand with the legiti-
mate business interests of the coun-
try and It's laboring masses, and at
the same time do the bidding Of the
business free hooters who prey upon
everything that is fair and legitimate
By his blunders in the selection OF
a cabinet and his shilly-shally poll,
cies he has forfeited the confidence
and respect OF the masss of the
people, and in this instance ''all thy
newspapers" of the country simply
record the feelings of the people.
This paper was one of Taft's wei
wishers year ago, and even at this
time II he would make an honest eff
fort to continue the policies of hi!
predecessor we would be quick tt
commend him for SO doing.

CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION
OF GREAT BRITAIN.

OF GREAT BRITAIN.
At.this writing the dispatches from
London say that the fate Of the new
liberal ministry is hanging in the
balance and likely to be determined
by the attitude of the labor and ma
tional parties before the lapse Of
many days.
At this distance it is difficult to
understand the necessity for such
haste. Constitutions are not made
or unmade in a day. A policy which
will strengthen the liberal party will
help to benefit its allies, the labor
ties and nationalists. 1t would
seem to US that the budget which
the House Of Lords rejected and
other much neglected government
business should have precedence, and
after the necessities of the country
are provided for the decks will be
cleared for the unavoidable conflict
between the two houses of Parlia.
ment.
All parties in Great Britain, even
the tories. concede that the House
of Lords will have to be reformed. II
the English labor party and the Irish
National party cannot wait for a
month or two for the attack upon
the House of Lords they have not
ordinary horse sense.
If they force another general cleo
tion before the present liberal minis
try has had a chance to measure
swords with the House Of Lords
the liberals and their allies will prob.
ably be defeated in their second ap.
peal to the country. In any event
they will deserve defeat and should
get what they deserve.
This talk about forcing another
appeal to the country unless the re-
formation of the House of Lords is
given precedence over everything else
seems like uncommon nonsense.
The hereditary membership of the
House of Lords is out of place in
this day and age in Great Britain
But repugnant as such an institution
may be it has right to continue
until the representatives of the PEG
pie have sense enough to proceed in
rational way for rational change

The Sineine Of Ellen Beach Yaw.

There is, after, all, nothing in the
world that can be compared with a
great singer; art and beauty meet
there in their highest and most EN-
chanting form. There is always
about them something miraculous.
They surpass anticipation, and they
fill the ear so full with delight that
memory can give no complete account
of the experience. They bring with
them to the conquest of mankind
nothing but the gift of nature,
trained by art. The human sounds
yelling from the human throat; but
the skill and ingenuity of man have
invented no instrument that is worthy
to be heard beside the singing voice,
that alone not merely satisfies the
love of beauty, but it eHriches and
enlarges it with revelations I'M
imagined before.
Ellen Beach Yaw is today the great
est of all colorature sopranos, and is
at the very zenith of her powers. No
lover of true music can wish for d
pleasure greater than to hear her
sing; and one must suppose that her
pleasure in gratifying that desire
must be one of the most enviable ac-
cesSible to human being. And when
one considers the amount of pure de-
light that Miss Yaw in her career can
bestow on her fellow-creatures-
rivers of melody will flow from her
throat and spread happiness about
her-there seems no reward adequate
to the need that we can give her in
return, except that simple acknow-
ledgment that it bankrupts our
gratitude
AS one listens to the soft golden
notes of CALIFORNIA; nightingale as
it falls upon the ear with d sweetness
born of a happy marriage between
the sound and the medium upon which
it is conveyed, one seems to feel that
soft balmy air of California, the state
that gave birth to this marvellous
voice and was first to be privileged to
hear its wondrous notes-for when
she sings it is as if she had embarked
in golden shallop upon a rejoicing
ocean of melody whose tides bear her
onward to the shores of fairyland;
she is the artist triumphing in her
art: secure in the isolation of her
genius; she weaves glorious webs of
harmony, diamond drops of music
naSn IN the air, exquisite threads OF
sound vibrate upon background rich
with tender color, ever changing with
the lightsome ease of a butterfly in
the air, this way and that as if carried
on the bows of swaying willow; no
birds throat, singing because it must,
ever gave utterance to warblings
more delicate and sweet, more full
and careless; and yet the human tone
is always heard and lifts one into Il
region even higher than the feathered
songstress reaches.
The world went to California for
gold but California serds to us a gold
of sound that makes the precious
metal seem cheap in comparison.
