Must Consult Voters.
However, before the Democratic
party is finally committed to the doc
trine of protection 1t will be necessary
to consult the voters of the party, and
it may be well to remember that the
voters of all parties are Drawer than
politicians. The Republican voters were
brave enough to turn out a lot of Re-
publican Aldriches; what reason have
our Democratic Congressman to think
that Democratic voters are less courag-
eous.
The Democratic voters know that all
needed revenue can be raised in less OPP
pressive ways. and they know that the
argument that the tariff on wool is pro-
posed as a revenue tariff is merely a
subterfuge employed because those who
employ it are ashamed to say that they
favor protection.
"hTe Democratic Congress has made a
splendid record; let US hope II will not
blot that record and impair the party's
chances in 1912 by a cowardly surrender
to the relatively insignificant number of
Democratic protectionists who clamor
for tariff on wool in order to win the
support OF those wool growers who go
into politics as a matter of business"

OLD WILLIAM PENN
LETTER SHEDS NEW
LIGHT ON HISTORY
Search of Records in Eng.
land Bearing Gratifying
Results.

LONDON, May 30.-Excellent prog
ress is being made by Albert Cook
Myers, of Philadelphia, who is here
collecting data for the purpose OF
publishing the complete works OF
William Penn.
Backed by the Historical Society OF
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Myers came with
letters in introduction from Secretary
of State Knox, United States Senator
Penrose, and other prominent Ameri-
cans, which have borne good fruit.
Perhaps the most important find is a
letter written by the founder of
Pennsylvania, dated Philadelphia,
1863, which sheds new light upon the
founding of the "City OF Brotherly
Love" Naturally Mr.. Myers will not
divnIlge it's contents at the, present
timetime, but he told a correspondent
that he considered 1t the gem Of the
collection.
Another important letter has turn
ed up in a private Penn collection be-
longing to a certain duke, which Mr..
Myers saws throws a new light on
the German immigration Of ITO.

District May Assess
Improved Properties

Judicial approval by the United States
Supreme Court has been given the pro-
cedure of the District in assessing DAM
ages against property in improved dis
tricts by awards of special juries The
high court sanctioned this plan, in sus-
tanning the District Supreme Court and
District Court of Appeals on the forced
sale of lot of Arthur BrscOe benefit
ed ten years ago by the extension Of
Rhode Island avenue.
Briscoe objected to paying a benefit
assessment of 1000, his lot being soli
by the Commissioners, claiming the law
assessing one-half of improvement dam
ages against surrounding property was
unconstitutional
In an opinion by Justice Lurton, the
Supreme Court sustainS the legality Of
procedure in causing seven Jurors to fix
damages.
Another decision of the United States
Supreme Court declines to advance for
argument the $500 libel judgment of
Henry NJ. Talbot against Thomas H.

Declaring that Democratic members
of the House who propose to put tax
on raw wool are guilty of subterfuge
when they declare the tax is for rev.
| enue purposes, and charging that they
are ashamed to admit that they are pro-
tectiCnists, William J. Bryan has again
stepped into the wool fight in the House
for the purpose of demonstrating that
there is no common ground on which
lie can stand with those Democrats.
When Mr.. Bryan was in Washington
Sunday night he left with several of
his friends copy of an editorial he had
written for the Commoner. In this edi-
torial Mr.. Bryan declares that a tax
on raw wool would be a cowardly sur
render to wool growers who go into
politics as n matter of business.
The full text of the Bryan editorial
is as follows:
The Democratic members of Con-
gress will, on June /, caucus on the
free wool question, and 1t is only fair
TO ask that they shall fairly and hon
estly meet the issue.
Question of Honetsy.
at is possible that some of the Demo-
Gratis believe in the principle of protec-
ton. The larceny-'the robber under
tile form Of law'-.embodied in the pro-
tective system is Endorsed by many good
Republicans who have not yet learned
to apply to legislation the rules that
they apply in everyday life, and some
Democrats may have become pupils OF
this school-especially those who have
among their constituents influential ben-
eficiaries of the system. But the Demo-
cratic voters have a right to insist that
the protectionist Democrats shall be as
honest as the protectionist Republicans
The Republicans want protection on
wool because they believe in the prin-
ciple of protection; let no Democratic
advocate of a tax on wool masquerade
behind the pretense that he is voting for
revenue tariff; let him not aid by
pocrisy to the sin which he commits
against his party.
Differences of opinion are to be ex-
pected within the party as well as with
out, but eXpediency as we'll as honor
requires that the differences shall be
frankly stated, cOurageously fought out,
and fairly settled.
Protection for ALL
"If protection is to be accepted as a
democratic dOclTlnep let IL De dCCepleu
openly, and let it be applied to every
thing and to all sections. There is no
reason why a few sheep raisers should
be shown favoritism at the expense Of
all who wear wooden clothing.
The Republicans have been able to
delude a great many people Tor a Ions
time by advocating protection as q
policy, but they have succeeded because
they consistently applied the principle In
favor of every industry which was will
ing to subscribe literally to the cam
paiCn fund.
The Democratic party cannot hope to
fool anybody very long by u one-sided
application of the doctrine to the few
districts which happen to contain pro-
tectionists. If the Democratic party IS

policy be made with audacity at least. |

On account OF the farmers being so
extremely busy with their crops, work
on the Union City and Samburg road
is temporarily suspended, but it is ex-
pected that few days work will be
given during rainy spells during May
and June, and then in July work will
be resumed and continue until COM
pleted.
More work and money must be given
to help push this enterprise to success.
We know no such thing as failure. Let
every citizen along the route give from
five to thirty days work with teams and
this work will soon be completed. You
see the good work that has been done,
and let every man interest himself to
see that it is put through.
