CHAMP CLARK ANSWERS TAFT
Speaker Of National House Says Pres.
ident Is Ungrateful and
Misstates Facts.

Quincy, Ill.-Champ Clark, speaker
Of the national house OF representa-
tiyes, in "a long statement here re
piled to charges made in President
Taft's speech at Hamilton, Mass, last
Saturday.
He accused the president of ingrati-
tude and of misstatement of facts.
He said he was replying only for the
Democratic congressman and would
let the insurgent Republicans take
up the cudgels In their own behalf"
Among other things. he said If the
tariff board is to be used as a pretext
for delaying tariff revision downward
the Democrats will cut off the sup
plies.
President Taft's speech at Hamil-
ton, Mass, last Saturday" said Speak
er Clark, "can only be described as
remarkable when the history of the
recent past is taken into considera.
ton. !
5..The presidents criticism of Mr.
Underwood and myself-which is es-
sentially criticism of all Democrats,
in the house and senate, because all
Democrats stood together-is abso-.
lutely uncalled for and is as migrate
full a performance as can remember;
for, If it had not been for the action OF
the Democrats in the house in both
the Sixty.first and Sixty,second con-
crosses in lining up almost unanimous
ly in favor of reciprocity with Can
ada, he would have been the most
thoroughly discredited and Inundated
president since the days of Andrew
Johnson. Z
..The president says we didn't play
politics about reciprocity, but we did
play politics, about the tariff. The
only politics we played was to keep
faith with the people and redeem the
promises we made in order to win the
election in 1910, which is the best and
noblest sort of politics. If any poll
tics was played on reciprocity, the
president himself played it-personal
at that"

pemoli,hlna Protective Tariffs.

1910 OSInoIt0Otn2- pTOk0CkIv0 \ 0tIUOs
Premier Laurier of Canada has
started his campaign for reciprocity
by telling the manufacturers that II
they do not cease their opposition to
the measure they are likely ito be
confronted with successful move.
ment for wide open free trade within
a few years. The incident serves to
point several useful lessons.
One Is that the protective tariff
problem is primarily grounded in the
interest OF few rather than in the
welfare Of all, whether In Canada, the
United States or any other country,
and when number of citizens be:
come the recipients OF special favors
from the government at the expense
of the remainder of the community, a
great obstacle is placed In the way OF
irrational solution of governmental
problems in the interest Of all the
people.
The reason for Canadian manufac-
turers' opposition to reciprocity is not
that the policy would be detrimental
to the nation as a whole, but that 1t
would take from them some advan-
tages which they wrongfully possess
at the expense of the buyers OF manu-
featured products.
Premier Laurier is right In making
his threat. The protective system is
doomed to destruction. Protection
seemed impregnably intrenched In
America a few years ago, but 1t is
rapidly going to pieces. And the rea-
son is that rapidly increasing num-
bers of persons are learning that It
has no place in an enlightened coun-
try where government is supposed to
be administration the welfare of all
and not for the benefit Of few IA
vored ones.

good authority that Colonel Aston and
Miss Force will be welded by the
middle of October. '
Not the least Of the incidents and
details connected with the announced
engagement that whet the appetite
OF the news lovers. are the reports
that Colonel Aston has evidenced his
ante-marital fondness for his BRIDE
to-be by the presentation to the beau
ttful Miss Force Of a magnificent dia-
mond ring valued at $4,000 and that
the already somewhat flustered girl
has been the recipient of scores OF
scurrilous postcards and letters crit
icising her acceptance Of the divorced
multimillionaire and warning her that
she may expect the same experience
as her predecessor. 1t is reported that
Colonel Astor is not averse to having
the purchase of the ring known, but
is intensely angered over the mailed
attack on him.

al Sentiment Overwhelming.

Nevada, which has never been any
thing but a rotten borough Of Califor-
mia, was admitted to the sisterhood
of states in 1864, to enable more
bonanza millionaires to break into
the United States senate from the
Pacific coast.
At that time the population of Ne
vada was about 10000. It has sent
an unbroken line Of corporation SER
wants to the upper branch Of con-
gross.
After enjoying the privileges Of
statehood Al years. Nevada can boast
OF only $1,000. population.
Wyoming was admitted In 1890, and
then had only 10000 population.
Arizona, with brighter prospects
than both Nevada and Wyoming, and
a population OF 2o5.0o0, or double
their combined population when they
became states. has been seeking ad-
mission for many years.. The people
of that rich territory long ago wearied
Of having their affairs administered
by political grafters sent out from
the east.
They adopted a constitution to suit
themselves. Both branches Of con-
gress voted to admit Arizona into the
Union. President Taft vetoed the bill,
because the Arizona constitution con-
tains section providing for the re-
call Of faithless judges.
| Why should President Taft inter
} fere with the people of Arizona In
their desire to try the experiment Of
authorizing the recall Of judges?
The plan has millions of supporters
all over the country. Arizona wants
to test 1t.
| A large majority IN both houses OF
congress favors allowing the trial to
! be made.
II the general adoption OF the re-
call plan were submitted to the coun-
TRY it would be defeated by an over
whelming majority. A similar ma
jority would support Arizona folks, or
those of any other state, who might
seek permission to try the expert
ment.
e Mr.. Taft is in opposition to the SEN
timents Of congress, the demands Of
Arizona and the very principles Of
Justice. Like every other American,
he is entitled to his opinion as to the
advisability Of adopting the plan any
where. Also. he Is In error In, en-
deavoring to control the action Of any
state in "a mattel Of public policy on
that or any other local question.
