West Point cadets dismissed for hazing a

Will never more care for the dangerous
novelty OF playing with pistols. But should
1t become necessary at any time after
ward to use a pistol the child will be al
ready trained. Again, the child should be
taught 20 never point a weapon-nOt even
a toy pistol-at any person, because TO do
so is to commit murder at heart and be-
cause, also, that such criminal careless
ness is the cause OF countless tragedies
every year. IL is oOWardly TO point

what p,nerence WIN 1t Make.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The country today is stirred over the
question of the wool tariff. l have
daily been reading accounts in your
paper concerning this question and 1t
has always occurred TO me what diff
ference it would make to US how the
tariff on the wool went. The most inn
portant ruling on the question would
be as to how cheap the material would
be made to us, individually. Would 1t
have any bearing on the cheaper cost
of living?
l. for the life of me, cannot see what
difference there will be in the cost Of
living if the tariff on wool is reduced.
What we want at the present time Is
a reduction on the prices of staple aTti-
Giles. I am sure that a suit of clothes
made of wool, or any other article that
contains wool, will not be ten cents
cheaper after the tariff reduction. Let
the men who are so eagerly lighting
for this reduction show us in figures
where our money will be saved. This
would be the true way of doing things.

Mr.. TAFT AS A TARIFF REFORMER.

IT ow greatly the views of President Taft on the tariff question
I( have changed since the night he stood up at the Newark
Board of Trade banquet and extoled the PayneAldrich
tariff as the greatest and wisest and best of all the tariff laws ever
passed is seen in his address at Providence last night. And it may
be said, too, that the popular sentiment has been Mr.. Tafts pre-
ceptor. eve must recognize" said Mr.. Taft last night, that the
time for the Chinese wall is gone. Before an industry receives pro-
lection now it must demonstrate the need of that protection and
it must not ask for more protection than it needs There was,
Mr.. Taft added, mo need of any tariff protection against Canada"
Times change and men change with them. President Taft was a
high protectonist of the AldrichCannon school during the first two
years of his administration. And he lost all his former great pop.
ularity. He read out of the party distinguished senators who re-
fused to bow down to his reactionary views of party policy. Be-
hold Mr.. Taft now urging Congress to enact the reciprocity bill
which would have excited his horror in 1909 and denouncing the
tariff as a "Chinese WALL" which, indeed, it is. The need of pro
lection must be demonstrated by an industry now, says Mr.. Taft.
In enacting the various Republican tariff bills since the war Con
gress wasn't particular about the need. 1t was the pull that
got the protection and it was the pull" that kept on increasing
that protection year after year until the, tariff rates grew to be
monumental in the PayneAldrch tariff. And then the broad back
of public patience was broken. President Taft has learned his les
son from the people whom he had presumed to instruct. His eyes
are open now. He has recanted his errors. He is more in line with
the popular thought. But what a great man he would have shown
himself to be ifh he had made his Providence speech in 1908!

SATURDAY EVEN ING. JUNE "a, 1911.
OPTIONAL GOVERNMENT FOR MUNICIpALIT

RI \ enacting the commission government bill the Legislature put
into it a referendum clause. There is no mandate in the act,
which IS merely permissiye to those municipalities that may
elect to adopt commission government ON the plan provided III the
act. Bayonne has decided not TO change its form of local GOV
ernmcnt To that particular commission plan, but the city is not
thereby compelled to retain the present form of government. 1t
may do what Newark has done, procure the framing of a new char
Ter to be passed by the Legislature. Newarks proposed new charter
provides a plan of commission government that more nearly CORE.
spends to the Newark idea of a desirable change in the government
than does The plan offered in the commission act. And it is well
digested. whereas in Trenton and Bayonne thousands of voters,
without any conception>of the changes TO be made, voted for or
against commission. In no other city but Newark has there been
held regular discussions and debates covering a long period on the
features of commission government. The subject is far better
understood in Newark than elsewhere in the State. Newarks new
charter plans are not in the least interfered with by the commits
sion act. We can go ahead and adopt that charter, with the legis-
lative sanction. just as if the act bad not been passed.
