AN UNUSUAL SITUATION.

William J Bryan IN his news
paper, The Commoner, adds his APP
prevail to the general sentiment Of the
American people in behalf Of the
thorough integrity Of President Taft
and asserts his confidence in the
latter's loyalty to highest convictions.
In commenting on the suggestion that
the facts concerning Controller Bay of
Alaska, should be probed, Mr.. Bryan
says
Not that we have the slightest
notion that anything will be discover
ed to justify any charges. against
President Taft. Our president makes
mistakes, he endures too much, but
he is not crook. Whether be did
right about Controller Bay or not we
will bank that he acted from clean
motives. Turn on the light, the
country has a right to it and the
president has nothing to fear from it.
Not often IN the history of the
United States has it been true that
the president Of one political party
has been spoken Of in such terms of
high regard and thorough confidence
by the leaders Of another party as is
true of what is though and said of
President Taft.

rested for cruelty to animals after a
furious riding race in which four
horses were ridden to death. This
brings into unpleasant prominence
that COWGIRL type of woman SO often
lauded in western tales. Tt is of
general interest because some eastern
horsewomen take this maiden Mazeppa
as model. They wear western hats
and skirts and carry quirts. aiming to
cut Broncho Bess figure on our Sun
day streets.
The history of womanhood offers no
encouragement to such female pro-
gress. " The sunburned, athletic
girl, on horseback or elsewhere, is

THE TARLFF BILLS

Congressman Cooper, Of this state,
is opposed to the present att9mpt Of
con gross TO enact hap hazard tariff
changes aud stands by the president
in his request tnat action be deferred
until the regular session next winter
when the tariff commission. which
was appointed expressly for the
purpose Of Investigating as home and
abroad the difference in the cost Of
production, SO that alterations may
be made upon an equitable and
scientific basis, will be ready to re-
port the result Of their two years
labor, He calls attention to the fact
that a number of the members who
are now most vociferous for an i'm
mediate revision Of ech8dules es-
pscially those of Wisconsin and
Kansas, come from states in which
the state platforms Of the republican
party in 1910 declared in favor of a
tariff commission which will be
ready to report in December The
Wisconsin platform declared that
Upon the information SO obtained
congress should proceed to revise the
different schedules Independently Of
each other, according TO protective
principles
The scientific Information at hand
now is no greater than that used in
the preparation of the Payne bill,
which was numerically condemn.
ed by the men who no propose in
the same unscientiHc manner to
pass piece.meal schedules and
jgnore the commission that has
spent much time ard money in obtain
ing the information which should
lead to an honest and intelligent
revision in accordance with the party
platform. Mr. Cooper thinks the
president should be upheld in his con-
tention for what every fair thinking
man must see is right, and that tariff
revision at the present session should
fail. There is a strong probability
that the president will veto any tariff
bill that may be passed at this ses-
sion, but il il being claimed that
sufficient votes may be mustered by
the combined forces Of democrats and
Insurgents to pass them his veto.

TAXATION AND THE BALLOT.

We are surprised to hear 50 intelli.
gent a suffragist as Dr.. Blount
demanding the ballot for women on
the ground that some of them are tax
payers and proclaiming with reference
thereto the old slogan: Taxation
without representation is tyranny. :"
The idea that taxation carries with
it the right to vote is an absurdity
not found in any existing system of
government. When the coIonists
used the phrsae above quoted they
never entertained such an idea. That
phrase did not refer to individuals nor
to an enlargement of the electorate,
but to international relations.
Plenty Of authorities could be
quoted to show that the colonists
neither desired nor sought parliament
airy representation. In fact, they in
sisted that it was impossibl
If the payment of taxes brought
with it the right to vote. then minors
should have the ballot, for their prop
erty is taxed. If taxation without
representation is tyranny, then the
$50 900 inhabitants of the District of
Columbia are living under most
tyrannical conditions, for not even the
men. high as the taxes are, are per-
mitted to vote.
If the payment of taxes brought
with it the right to vote, then each
of the million foreigners who. annual
~ come to our shores would receive
the ballot automatically as soon as he
paid a cent of taxes without waiting
for the operation of naturalization
laws. II taxation without representa-
tion is tyranny. then the millions of
southern negroes who pay taxes but
are disenfranchised by educational re-
quirements, are the victims Of tyran-
nical rule.
And the same might be said Of the
officers and men in our army and
navy none of whom are exempt from
taxation, but who are nevertheless
practically disenfranchised
Once we admit the equal suffrage
claim that taxpayer is entitled to a
vote, we must admit the reverse Of
that claim, that whosoever is de-
prived Of a ballot is entitled to relief
from taxation Which would mean
that every minor, practically every
soldier aud sailor. every alien every
disenfranchised negro every lunatic
and criminal, every inhabitant Of the
District Of Columbia, would 10 longer
have to pay taxes.
More than that, since citizenship
cannot be forced on any body, the
large majority Of immigrants would
certainly refuse to become naturalized
if their inability to vote relieved them
from taxation. And all that citizen
Of this country would have to do to
escape ali taxes, local, state and
federal, would be to step across the
border and become a citizen Of
Canada
The utter absurdity Of any attempt
to identify the payment Of taxes with
the ability to vote must be apparent.
Women may be entitled to the ballot,
but they are in no wise entitled to it
because some of them are taxpayers. =

BE d soldier is the advice of
Admiral Togo, the stern warrior who

The pu blicity Of the amount of
money paid for prayers offered at the
opening of each days session of the
Legislature recalls the incident of the
man who took his little son to see
the sights of the city and incidentally
to watch the process of law-mak1ng
in the state capital. The boy sat
dlscreetly silent through the opening
prayer and then said: "Papa, why
did the preacher pray for tbs legisla-
ture ~ " We'll, my son, said the
father, he didn't exactly do that.
You see he looked out over the mem
bers of the Legislature aud then prayed

Both branches of congress have
