Democrats and the Tariff.

Three courses or procedure by

50 less are suggested Dy lhe houston

the tarin revision legislation, and thea
reciprocity; seconu, reCipIocity, ana
then tarlu revision, third, tarin re-
vision legislation Incorporating tine
reciprocity bill as a part thereof
But the Post does not pretend to
say which course shall be selected.
Neither does any other democratic or
gan or leader. None OF them knows.
The party is thus far at sea on that
proposition, important as It is The
first thing to be done, therefore, is to
decide which route to take before
starting upon the journey. Nor is It
certain that the selection will be made
promptly or without more or less in
ternal discord, not conducive to ulti-
mate profit to the party or the coun-
try. Some democratic papers incline
to the belief that the house will decide
to attach the reciprocity plan to the
plan OF tariff revision, which augurs
none too bright a prospect for Mr..
Taft's reciprocity measure. One thing

comes entangled in a party dispute
over whether to revise the tariff by
schedules or by throwing It open to
general overhauling II will be late In
the session before anything is done
and reciprocity may, after all, be &C
corded only secondary consideration.
Appeals of party organs to the dem
ocratic majority to realize the gravity
of its position are being made. on
the results Of the extra and regular
sessions of the Sixty-second congress
these papers concede, will depend
largely the results in 1912. Evidently
they believe in the necessity for such
appeals and the need for a steadyins
influence. They must quake as they
think OF entrusting the party's fate Ia
the hands of leaders as fitful as Champ
Clark and Joe Bailey. Already some
democratic papers are beginning to
eliminate Clark from view as the head
of the party and are crowding forward
Underwood Of Alabama, the chairman
Of the ways and means committee. He
is being hailed as steady force and
he will have charge of the tariff legis-
lation. Perhaps he is steadier thar

Facts Wanted.

A movement is on foot down at
Lincoln to iEaugurate the dOuDle-shitt
system for the nre department in that
city, and Omaha is cited as the object
lesson city where the double-shift has
been successfully established.
So far as Omaha having the double
shift in it's fire department is con-
cerned that is a matter of record. The
experiment was begun more than
three years ago, and in that time it
ought to have demonstrated whether
it is an improvement or not. The
precise operation of the double-shift,
how much it has cost the city over and
above what the outlay would have
been under the old plan, whether this
additional cost is money well invested
or money wasted, whether the fremen
as a whole prefer the double-shift or
would rather have continued as before
and receive the added cost of the de-
partment in the form of increased
salaries, are all questions in which We
are still very much in the dark.
AS Omaha is, as we understand It,
the only city in the country of similar
size and pretentions in which the
double-shift for firemen prevails, il
would certainly be interesting, as well
as instructive, to have the facts as tc
this unique experiment fully developed
and disclosed, not only for our OWL
benefit, but for the benefit of othel
cities which might be influenced by
them. An Official report on this sub
ject rejecting it from all angles In tn,
light of nearly four years experienc,
would be most timely.

vindioatiOn of John Mitchell.

II is not fair to organized labor in
general, or even to the whole OF the
United Mine Workers union, that
John Mitchelrs enforced retirement
from the Civic Federation be charged
up to it. The blame belongs, and
should be placed, on the socialist or
radical element which. for the time,
holds control OF the mine workers or
ganization. Mr.. Mitchell was made
the victim of certain trumped-up
charges and given his choice of quit
ting one or other of the organizations,
lie has quit the Civic Federation.
where. as head OF the labor depart
ment, he was in a way to be OF great
service to employer and employee alike
in promoting peaceful relations.
The circumstances OF this action by
the mine workers seem TO be all to
their discredit. Mitchell was denied

ism, would be benefited by his vindi

This case serves to emphasize tn,
need OF level-headed leaders In organ

system in the Armv.

The abruptness of the order and the
spectacle itself of the governments
mobilizing $4,000 troops on the Mexi-
can border are both interesting and
impressive, but aside from these the
ease and facility with which the great
task is being accomplished is most ad-
mirable. Fragments of the army have
been assembled from widely separated
forts in every direction with as much
order and as little confusion as If ali
the soldiery and the accoutrements of
war had been taken from one depot.
Here is food for thought for some of
our nervous jingoes, who feel con-
strained now and then to indulge illu-
sions of the possibility of our getting
caught asleep by some gum-shoed
enemy that might slip up on our
shores in the dead Of night and steal
the continent before we could get
troops on the scene. The government
explains it's remarkable action on the
ground of wishing to make military
maneuvers. Deeper motives might
easily be suspected, but If it were only
to show us how easy it is for the War
department to move and mobilize it's
forces it would be compensatory.
President Roosevelt sent the feet
around the globe as an object lesson
of it's possibilities. 1t is a good thing,
once in a while, for the nation to see
what 1t can do in an emergency.
In this country many people have
grown cynical in their view of the
army, it's personnel and management
For them It is well for the military to
go on dress parade now and then. This
latest demonstration should serve to
establish the fact that our military
arm is a very active one; that it
swings easily out from the shoulder;
that it is under superb control.
