THINKS TOO MUCH OF PARTY
Public U~tterances Of President Taft
Have Not Shown Him to be
a Statesman.

Ever since he first apologized for
the Aldrich-Taft tariff on the ground
that it was the best measure he could
secure from congress without dividing
Republicans and endangering the
G. o, P, President Taft has urged
party solidarity on any and every &C.
casion.
His u%tterance at the Hamilton club
was no exception to the rule he has
apparently set for himself in this
matter.
In Mr.. Taft's estimation Republican
unity Is Of greater Importance than
wise lawmaking. He believes himself
to be president of the Republican
party and president of the United
States second. He considers govern
ment as a function for the benefit Of
~officeholders and not for the people.
The Taft idea that it is more impor-
tant to retain public offices for Re-
publican office holders than to provide
good government at risk of party fail
ure closely affects not only every man
In office, but every man, irrespective
of party, who hopes to obtain office.
The Journal does not believe that
this country has reached such a stage
of Imperialism that the people ap-
prove any plan to retain one set Of
~officeholders forever, or contemplate
with equanimity the prospect of a rul-
ing class as distinguished from private
citizens.-Chicago journal.

Campaign Publicity.

After gathering dust for months,
Representative McCall's bill providing
for compulsory publicity for congress
sional campaign contributions and ex-
penses has been rescued from the
committee pigeon-hole where it has
been held up. The bill is strictly in
line with the recommendations made
by MI. Taft in his message to con-
gress at the beginning of the present
session, but even as an administra-
ton measure 1t was deliberately
sighted. Only the pressure brought
to bear by persons not engaged in
politics saved it from being sup
pressed.
Campaign managers of Mr.. Taft's
own party in the last congressional
elections refused to publish their &C,
counts. How much money was raised
to elect a majority of the house of
representatives which was about to
revise the tariff, who contributed 1t
and how 1t was spent, Is still a secret.
1t is still a scandal that while one
campaign committee rendered a fair
statement, another of the same party
concealed the facts.
Mr.. Taft has wisely urged that there
shall be an end of such methods. Pub.
lie sentiment strongly supports him
Another congressional campaign is ap
preaching. If the leaders of congress
seek to stave off action until next
winter o later they will have no ex
cuse to offer except that they believe
the secret use of money to be neces
sary to their party's success.

EXCELLENT TRADE In
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.


Throughout all of Canada, and espe.
cially in the Western Provinces of
Canada, there is a b~uoyancy in every
line of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
of the past year were what was ex-
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
themselves. Many of them are indie
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports r that seeding is well under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that a vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern AL
berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hun
dreds of them, are breaking up the
prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS soon as
it becomes dark, gangs are changed,
a head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak Of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
Grain Thnrn will ha nnn uoct oU
panse Of wheat field. And there viii
be a market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
of Western Canada, and it is worth
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
GUS records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and q
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
mere VIII De Qua seasons Wnen a
falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
in the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate OF
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
ishes. But there are some %eas
able people who wonder why the
growth of n year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.

Roosevelt and the Tariff.

It would be hard to imagine any,
thing more absurd than the expecta-
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt will return
from South Africa belted and spurred
for a crusade against the tariff, seeing
that no one ever showed more dex-
terity in evading that issue at its ev-
cry presentation. Disappointment
at the tariff result is admittedly wide,
and it Is probably growing, but those
who look for denunciatcry fireworks
from Mr.. Roosevelt must have particu-
larly bad political memories. II prece-
dents have any value, the tariff re-
formers should thank the fates that
Mr.. Taft was at the White House in
stead of Mr.. Roosevelt. They did at
least get more sincere declarations
upon the subject, and this is more
than Mr.. Roosevelt ever gave them

A Thlno to Be Considered.

Los Angeles Times, speaking for
the Republican party, says MI. Taft
will be a two-term president. What
the Republican party, speaking for it.
self may say, remains to be seen. Per-
haps Mr.. Taft may receive a second
nomination. Judge" one of the lead
ing national Republican organs, is al
ready conceding the defeat of the Re-
publican party. But 1t is too early to
prophesy. A great deal depends on
the dinner-pail. Unless that useful ar
ticle is r~eplenished and is kept well
filled, the Republican organization will
find itself in a hopeless popular mi
nority.-Boston Globe (Rep.).

PEOPLE HAVE SEEN
ELECTION IN MASSACHUSETTS
SHOWS TEMPER OF VOTERS.
Victory Of Eugene N. Foss Presases
Democratic Triumph In the Com
Ing struggle-New Tariff Bill
to Be Regulated.

II President Taft has doubted the
attitude of the people of the United
States toward the Aldrich-Taft tariff,
his doubts should be ~dispelled by the
election of Eugene N. Foss, with a
Democratic majority of 5,640, in the
Fourteenth Massachusetts congress
sional district, to succeed a man who
was chosen by a Republican plurality
of 14,250 two years ago
Mr.. Foss made his campaign on a
straight tariff issue. His sweeping
victory Is a protest against the Aid
rich-Tatt law and a reputation of the
Republican party by the inner temple
of r~epublicanism.
Senator Lodge led the fight against
Mr.. Foss. President Taft himself took
part in the campaign, making a spe-
cial trip to Providence, and defending
the tariff in a public speech within a
few miles of the battlefield.
There was no local issue. The tar
If alone was in contest; the voters Of
the Fourteenth district emphatically
expressed their dislike and distrust of
the tariff and its sponsors.
The Aldrich-Taft tariff and the Re-
publican party are d~iscredited in the
very cradle of protection. Republican
grand dukes and tariff barons are de-
fed by their own followers. The COM
mon people are in open revolt against
the interests. The vassals have
turned against their feudal lords.
When such a popular uprising oc-
ours within the very shadow Of the
Sacred Goldfish that hangs on Beacon
hill there is not a doubt of Democratic
victory all over the country at the
congressional elections this fall.
The real insurgents are not in con.
gress. They are the people. An in.
surgent populace does not with good
grace withhold its hand, once nerved
by victory. The example of the Bay
state Is inspiring. 1t does not require
an ear Of unusual keenness to detect
the rumbling of the tumbrils, bearing
the flower of u standpat aristocracy
to the political ~guillotine, where the
voter with the ballot-ax will admins
ter the coup de grace.

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform a crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re-
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on-and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. A whole house can be done at just
a little more than the cost of a single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
so much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es.
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma.
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares foE Ter home, is quick to utilize
them,

TRUSTS CAUSE HIGH PRICES
Governor Hadley Shows How TarlR
Has Been Responsible for the
Squeezing Of the Consumer.

In trying to locate the blame in the
present high prices of living it must
be remembered that as a general prop
osition it is true that no general eco
nomic condition is due to any one
cause. The industrial trust has. how
ever, had a very important influence
In bringing about the increase in the
cost Of the necessities of life. For
these combinations have, in effect, re-
pealed the law of supply and demand
and done away with the old theory
that Competition is the life of trade"
A concrete example will serve as an
illustration:
In 1896, oil was selling in st. Louis,
Mo-. for 6h cents a gallon. Ten years
later, at the time / instituted suit in
the name of the state of Missouri
against the STANFORD Oil trust, it was
selling for 9H cents a salon, and dur
ing this period the production of crude
petroleum throughout the country had
almost doubled, with a consequent de-
crease in price, and the production in
the Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields
had increased from 81, 900 barrels in
1901 to $4,000, 900 barrels in 1906, and
its price had declined from $1.20 a
barrel in 1901 to 40 cents a barrel in
1906. The competition made possible
as a result of this litigation brought
about a reduction in the price of oil
in the state of Missouri from az
cents in 1906 to 81 cents in 1908.
The same condition that existed in
the oil business has existed, to a GER
tain extent, In the fixing Of the price
of live stock and the price of beef.
The increase in the price of cattle has
not yet kept pace with the increase in
the price of beef. This fact demon
strates that the same influences have
operated in this industry as in the oil
business.-Gov. H. s.. Hadley, in The
D%elineator,

Nonsense stIll Survives.

The elaborate piece of nonsense
known as weighing the mails for the
purpose of adjusting the railroad con-
tracts has just been carried out again
after the usual lapse of four years.
Let US hope that this is for the last
time and that it was done without the
cencealment of grindstones, stray
messenger boys, and other unconsid-
cred but weighty tritles of a like kind.
The system may have been all very
well when the mail consisted Of a few
bags piled up In a mail car, but that 1t
should survive to the present day goes
a long way to prove the immortality
of foolishness.

At a dinner given by a lot Of pro-

one can only conclude that his speech
commended itself to tho auditors.
