DIVIDED INTO CAMPS
HOW THE DEMOCRATS LINE UP
ON TARIFF REFORM"
Party Is Going to Have Some Trouble
Squarlne Stump Speeches With
Results to Be Shown to the
Country.

Representative Ransdell of Louisi-
aua is right. The ways and means
committee of the next house should be
formed so as to insure a hearing In
that body of the several views of tar
If reform which are found In the Dem
ocratic party.
On that subject Mr. Ransdell di-
vides his party into three schools, or
classes: Free traders, near-free
traders and protectionists. That di-
vision will answer for purposes of dis
cussion.
OF free traders, confessed and ag-
gressive, there are few And we shall
hear little from them when the next
house begins work on the Payne law.
AS a rule, they are agitators, not legis-
lators and their work Is on the out
side Of congress. Their part is to
thump the robber barons in the press
and on the stump while a campaign Is
on and generalities are effective. Later,
when generalities must give way to
practicalities, they subside. 1t is their
time for disappearing. They take a
header, and down they go.
The near-freo traders are more nu-
merous, but are often disguised when
congress Is n action on the tariff.
They wo" like to see taxation re-
duced tC .ne bare needs of the govern
ment Jut are unable to work out the
49, Jlem Their maxims all go to
pieces in the presence of trade statis-
tics and trade demands. The result is
that they are often found recorded in
favor of protective duties.
The protectionists are more numer-
Gus still. Really, there are a great
many of them. Every revision of the
tariff in the past quarter century has
revealed the fact. They came out very
openly when the Payne bill was In the
making In congress and out, they
wanted share" of what was going
and not only accepted it from the Re
publicans, but asked for it. But only
a few were logical in the end, and sup
ported in it's entirety what had been
done. The late Mr.. McEnery of Lou
isiana stood alone in the senate or
| that point. He had asked for protec
ton on sugar, had got it, and so did
unto others as at his request they had
| done unto him.
Even after the ways and means
committee shall have done its utmost
to harmonize all party differences ir
the preparation of a tariff measure
the real situation will in some measure
appear in the open house debates. The
Republicans have the leads, and vii
follow them for political purposes. The

The Latest Pinchot Charges.

Beyond question, President Taft lie
able to handle the Alaskan coal land
situation and dispose of 1t in a manner
satisfactory to the public. This was
made plain by his refusal to accept the
policy recommended by Secretary Bal.
linger and his insistence that the rights
of the people in the public lands OF the
great northwest territory should be
safeguarded At the same time, the
country cannot regard the strong rep
reservations made to him by the Pin
chot brothers concerning the notori'
Gus Cunningham claims, as either in.
appropriate or presumptious.
The public is keenly interested in
the Cunningham claims. They have
been the storm center of the entire
Ballinger controversy. The Pinchot
brothers are in a position to know
much about them. And when, in for
NAL document, thye solemnly declare
to the president of the United States
that these claims are to all intents and
purposes fraudulent and they tell why
a halt in any proceedings looking to
ward the completion OF these land
deals Is called for
In their brief, the Pinchots present
the accusations against those who are
pushing the claims more strongly anC
forcibly than ever before. They
charge, without reservation. that the
individuals who made entry for the
land did not do so In good faith. but
under an agreement to turn theil
holdings over to interests intent upor
obtaining a monopoly of important
coal lands in Alaska.
The country has reason to believe
that what the Pinchot brothers say II
true. The president owes 1t to the
country to ascertain the exact truth
and make It known. The Ballinger in
vestigation was not for that purpose
and It was as unsatisfactory in thi:
respect as In others. The people have
become familiar with the methods anC
objects of the big public land-grabber!
and are not In the mood TO tolerate
them any longer.-Cleveland Leader.

FOR REAL TARIFF REVISION
Republican Leaders In the Right In
Inslstence on Adequately Equipped
Commission.

There IS every promise OF valuable
results during the short session of con-
gress, in the vitally important field OF
tariff study and tariff revision, with
the aid of a commission of experts In
vested with large powers. The presi-
dent has insisted upon legislation for
that purpose In conferences with lead
ers of the Republican majority in the
house of representatives, and they
agree that definite action will be taken
before the end of the session, and as
early as possible.
The only point In doubt is the ns.
ture of the plan which will be put fo--
ward by the standpat leaders who sill
exercise great power in the house.
Apparently Congressman Longworth
is distrustful of the willingness of
Dalzell, Payne, Dwight and others of
their class to go far enough In the di-
rection of tariff revision By scientific
experts.
The Ohio representative has drawn
a bill embodying his own ideas OF
what tariff commission should be
ana lUe UldHuCT III WHICH II OuSut "
be supported and empowered to get
results, and in this measure he hopes
to satisfy most of the Republican In
surgents in both the house of repre-.
sentatives and the senate.
This is progress which cannot fall
to be of value to the country. 1t will
clear the way for increasingly impor.
tant steps in the direction of tariff re,
vision by schedules and by experts, in.
stead of all at once and by representa-.
tives of special interests and political
parties, factions and leaders. 1t means
more business and less bidding for
votes, in determining the duties to be
paid on imported merchandise.
If the present session shall result in
nothing more than the firm establish
ment of a competent and adequately
equipped tariff commission, of a per,
manent nature and given sufficient
powers and scope of action, the win
ter's work will be we'll worth while.
and the present congress will go out
of Office with a record of lasting prog.
ress In public affairs Of vital impor
tance.

out. Small, flexible hats are the most
promising for street wear. They are
commendable from the standpoint of
comfort, but their correct adjustment
will take care on the part of the wear
ers and tendency to lose their orig
inal lines will have to be combatted.
In felts and velvets, as in furs, the

shapely. They are without doubt the
most successful of new things placed
before the public.

OF ascertaining the extent OF the

MIR, Bryan's New Part.

Mr.. Bryan has already adapted him
self to the Democratic situation. The
fact that the Democratic state ticket in

his efforts has eliminated him as a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton.
After denouncing boilers unmerciful-
y for the last fourteen years, he sud
denly Joined the ranks of those who
separate themselves from their party
for the party's good. He openly OPP
posed the Democratic candidate for
governor, Mayor ]. c. Dahlman of
Omaha, the same man who appeared
In New York with a cowboys outfit
In 1906, when Mr. Bryan was return
ing from trip around the world pre-
pared to use a lasso in order to keep
the Peerless Leader out of the clutches
OF false eastern friends. Mr. Bryan
may claim some justification for his
opposition to Dahlman on the ground
that moral issue" like the restric-
ton of the liquor traffic was involved.
But there are hundreds of thousands
OF Democrats who will be ready to re-
mind him that he would not excuse
them for boiling him In 1896 on the
more important moral issue" cf pre-

n n ILLINERY modes have run to the
IW new and strange lately and the
question of what next" is asked
with an anxious tone by those who
must suit the caprice Of fashion or
lose in the business race. Just what
next no one up to this writing knows
exactly, but of one thing we are fair
ly sure, and that is, a continuing vogue
of small hats. We have come about as
close to the bonnet as we are likely to
get, and we will depart therefrom,
when spring comes. But the small hat
is here and will be here; for which all
those who travel in street cars and
ride in elevators or walk upon wind
swept streets, are duly thankful.
Two types, as unlike as possible, are
shown here. One Is of the present
mode, fitting like a bonnet and
trimmed at the back with a big rosette
of ribbon. This is an old development
OF the bonnet-turban style which Is
dear to the winter girl in many vary
Ing forms. This is a double coronet
brim. a development of the turban. on
lines familiar, in every community
from one ocean to the other. The
double coronet is by way of variety
and the draping is very cleverly ar
ranged by means of this peculiar
frame.
