night and set the air brakes on cars,
uncouple cars and leave the air con-

in twain when started and the de-

Col. Roosevelt,s Controversies

It is not fattering to the moral
sense of the American people that the
'indiscretions" of Col. Roosevelt are
generally treated as a jest, the "Anan-
las Club" particularly being looked
upon as a huge joke. Here is a man
who has held the highest office in the
gift of the people and who still mum
bers his admirers by the hundreds of
thousands. Yet time after time he has
engaged in controversies in which
his .veracity has been brought into
question. Surely it cannot be that
there is a great conspiracy to dis
credit him, and that all Of his antag-
onists nave deliberately lied in order
to iniure him. The alternative to this
proposition. is n that is painful to
an American to contemplate.
1t would be refreshing to see the
whole subject taken by the mass of
the people in a more serious spirit and
an attempt at least made to find
where Justice lies in these unfortunate
controversies.

Idle Talk About "Conditlons."

There are many novel ideas In Mr..
Roosevelt's recent speeches dealing
with the tariff. But the most novel,
and at the same time the most
amusing Of them all, Is that "condi-
lions" compelled such men as Aldrich.
Lodge, Cannon, Smoot, Payne and the
others to disfgure the tariff bill. 1t
was not conditions" that turned over
the making Of the wooden schedule to
Whitman, who made the schedule Of
the Dingley tariff, and who at the time
he represented the WOODEN interests
also acted as secretary of a senate
committee dealing with the tariff. Sup
pose the conditions" are the only
criminals-who made the conditions,
who has permitted them to continue
for a generation? The men RESPONSE
BILE for the present tariff enormity
were not constrained or coerced by
conditions" They simply made the
sort of tariff that they thought the
country ought to have. In this case,
as in others Of like character, as IN
the Paul Morton case, guilt Is per-
sonal." Conditions" indeed! We are
not dealing with them, but with men,
as the Insurgents have more than
once shown. The Insurgents have held
Aldrich, Cannon, Smoot and Payne re-
sponsible, as indeed they are.

Storer-lreIand Letters.

The thing that Mr.. Roosevelt round
ly asserted In 1906 that he did not do,
Archbishop Ireland wrote in 1903 that
the president not merely had done but
boosted of doing. For a man so direct
ly impeached merely to say now that
he will not reopen" the case, Is in
reality a confession that he Is unable
to meet the damaging implication Of
the new letters. Mr.. Roosevelt's
friends, especially his friends and en-
ployers in the Outlook ofice-ought to
tell him that this will never do; and
that if he does not instantly take
steps to meet the terrible exposure
of him which Mrs. Storer has now
made, the press will soon be speaking
generally, as the World does editorial
ly, of "the habitual i~nveracity" OF

Reason for High Cotton Prices.

THE Republic asks why 20-cent cot
ton should be a strong Republican ar
gument in the south this year. The
answer Is that under the last Demo
cratic administration and downward
tariff revision cotton got down to five
cents."-Globe- Democrat.
Did any downward tariff Lewiston
ever go farther down in the case OF
cotton than the present Aldrich law,
in which cotton and waste or focks"
are enumerated among the items on
the free list, In accordance with the
policy of enabling high-protected
manufacturers to buy their raw mate
rails cheap and get bigger prices for
their own goods? AS suspected, the
CD. includes Republicanism among
soil exhaustion, boil weevil and other
devastating auses that now send the
cotton quotation up to an abnormal
fgure.-St. Louis Republic.

DR.. Hargraves, retired and said to
be wealthy, has more or less business
to do with a certain safe deposit com!
pany. He thus came to know young
Austen Parker. There came to be a
social as well as a business side, and
after a time Mr.. Parker was a caller
at the house.
DR.. Hargraves was a widower and
in poor health. The light Of his eye
and the joy Of his heart was his
daughter May. A sister oversaw the
house, but the doctor used to say that
his daughter oversaw him. The friend
ship between them was almost selfish.
Miss Mays handsome face attracted
many, but she received them all as
callers until Mr.. Parker came. In his
case, after a bit, the father thought he
detected more than usual interest, and
he was secretly pleased. He knew
that his ailment must carry him off at
the end of a few years, and he hoped
the daughters future would be set
tied before the dark day came.
The doctor and his daughter were
at the Harbor hotel when Mr.. Parker
and his mother arrived. It was SIM
ply chance that brought them together
there, and all were pleased over it.
A week had passed very pleasantly
when one day the doctor, Miss May
and Mr.. Austen were on the long
wharf below the hotel to sit in the
band house and enjoy the cool breeze.
There we're women and children about,
and here and there a man was lazily
fishing. OF a sudden a women cream-
ed out. Her boy of five had climbed
the railing and fallen into the water.
There were shouts and screams from
others, and a hubub all along the

feet Of the band stand. Mr.. Parker

bounds, tore off his coat and kicked
off his shoes, and vas on the point Of

THE PHANTOM TARIFF BOARD
Already Ample Demonstration Of Its
Perfect UseIessness Has
Been Given.

All activities Of utility except those
relating to salary-drawing have prac-
tically been suspended by Mr.. Taft's
phantom Tariff Board" It's status
is hardly Of more pronounced a char
acter than that of Mr.. Roosevelt's
famous national art commission which
never had any recognition except from
Mr.. Roosevelt himself and which died
of hamilton.
The agent Of the Tariff Board"
sent abroad has encountered difficult
ties rendering his mission a failure.
The board" at home has made the
discovery others made weeks ago
that 1t Is entirely without authority
to compel persons having pertinent
data to supply it and the highly pro-
tected trusts are not rushing to 1t with
volunteered information that might
tend to a reduction in the duties on
their products.
This demonstration of the boards"
pathetic impotence Is highly important
as we'll as highly humorous in an
ante-electicn view. Dogmatic defense
of the Payne-Aldrich measure has al
most entirely ceased. From Mr.. Taft
down, Republicans are admitting It's
tmperfections and promising a real
downward revision, If the people will
only try them this once more.
Of course, 1t is not very convincing
to assert that the party which has
failed miserably once in fulfllment Of
campaign pledges will respect Its
pledges with any greater fidelity in
the future, but they have a new idea
now, they say. The measure itself
created a Tariff Board" they assert,
and this little new Tariff Board" Is
going to be a big help to its parents
when it grows up in placing revision
on a scientific, instead Of a political,
basis and preventing the horrid trusts
and stand-pat congressional represen-
tatives of the trusts from debating
tariff legislation.

Mot for the President to Judqe.

In their first elections, New Mex
leo, supposed to be Democratic, went
Republican. and Arizona, supposed to
be Republican and long represented
by q Republican delegate in congress,
went Democratic. The result is said
to make certain an initiative pro-
vision in the new constitution and adj
miristrationists predict that Mr.. Taft
will reject the instrument when pre-
sented to him. Irrespective Of his
own or others views as to that pro-
vision, what justification could a
iurist of Mr.. Taft's experience offer
for rejecting a device which the
whole people Of Arizona believed to
be essential to their welfare and by
official vote had included among their
constitutional safeguards?

HolIOW.ETed Look.

Congressman Carlin, of Virginia,
tells of a little country girl who Wis
tied city relatives who dwelt in a fiat.
Her visit lasted two weeks, and all
of the time they we're warning her
not to make so much noise; not to
run across the street, and not to
waken the people in the adjoining
flats. In fact they were constantly
curtailing her freedom. When she
came home she told her papa she
never wanted to go to the city again,
and he saiG:
You must have had a hard time
of it. You do look hollo w-eyed.'
"Well, papa" she said. eff you had
folks holierin' at you all the time,
you'd look holler-eyed, oo.'-Wash-

Roosevelt and the Tariff.

e''S ~
1t is a new thing for Mr.. Roosevelt
to take any interest in tariff discussion.
It cannot be said that his views add
much illumination. His theory that
conditions" not men, are responsible
for the tniquities Of the present tariff
Is more curious than convincing. He
adheres firmly to what he calls "the
principle" Of protection, and thinks 1t
all right as long as it Is not pushed
too far; that is as long as the good
things" are not too good. He does not
favor "a tumble Of privileges and pref
erences," but he does favor "scientif-
cally" adjusted privileges and prefer
ences. He expects large things of pro-
lection, as witness this:
What we want Is a square deal in
the tariff as in everything else; a
square deal for the wage Garner; a
square deal for the employer; a square
deal for the general public"
In other words, We want a miracle!
You cannot have a square deal" as be-
tween the man who pays a tax and the
man who gets it; between the taxed
public and the coddled industries. The
thing Is impossible. There are only
two parties to the transformations
from whom the money is taken, and
those to whom it Is given. Mr.. Roose-
velt's idea of a square deal is not that
we should cease taking money from
one man and giving 1t to another, but
that We should take less from one and
give less to the other!

he suddenly halted and stepped back.
"You can get him-you can get
him!" urged the doctor as he came up.
There's his hat-there he risesi"
"Oh, go-go-go!" called Miss May
to the man who stood wringing his
hands and his face pale as the dead.
II can't!" they heard him say.
"Man-man, are you going to leave
the boy to DROWN" cried the doctor
in establishment and Indignation.
MI. Parker advanced to the railing,
looked over at the child struggling In
the water and then threw up his hands
with a groan and retreated. He even
picked up the things he had cast of
and almost ran from the wharf.
Splash! Splash! Splash! Three men
leaped the railing, one after another.
and, as the little lad was sinking for
the third time, he was rescued, and
there were tears, cheers and shouts of
congratulation. The doctor and his
daughter returned to their seats and
sat for a long time without a word be-
tween them. Then the girl asked in
a h%esitating way:
WAS 1t because Mr.. Parker can't
swim?"
HE could have got the boy and
hung to a spite until a boat came.
Heavens, but II I had been In his
place."
"Then-then what allied him? He
seemed to be frightened"
"He was!" was the grim reply.
Father, you can't mean"
"But I do, dear. You have only to
hear what the people around US are
saying. Too bad. 1 feel sorry for him.
He and his mother will have to go
today"
A hundred people on the wharf had
words of praise for the three men,
and words of censure for the one. 1t

their threats and women refuse to
forgive. A man is either recorded as

HISTORIC SLIP OF PAPER.

Apparently the duke borrowed the
scrap of paper from some member of:
his staff, for on the back of it are the,
faded items Of a tavern bill. He used,
the parapet of the bridge for a writing
desk. He had been II hours in the
saddle, most Of that time riding in
the very heart of one Of the greatest
battles in all history, yet the letters
are firm in shape, a curious testimony
to that screnely unshakab.e tempera-
ment that was Marlborough's most
striking characteristic
