Not 4 Veto Of Tariff Revision.

The 'irst impression of the veto of

Mr taft is to further the cause Of
scientific tariff adjustment and do
what he can to take the question out
of cheap politics, he must be prepared
to suffer. at least temporarily. from
the disapointments he causes. The
criticisms of the wool bill apply with
even more force to the so-called farm
ers' free list. tariff reform which re-
forms nothing and benefits no one.
He is to be commended for his brav-
cry in the instances. Within six
months he will probably be commend
ed by every citizen in the country for
awaiting the tariff commissions re-
port and giving congress chance to
serve its constituents honorably and
efficiently. He has not vetoed tariff
revision. He has vetoed log-rolling

PARTY WITHOUT A POLICY
Democratic Incompetence, So Often
Proved In the Past. Is Again
In Evidence,

II is now plain that in one respect
the Democratic party has dangerous
ly erred. 1t is allowing itself to drift
back into the old feult OF attacking
capital. or wealth, or success, simply
for the sake of the attack The lead
ers. or some of them, in congress, are
still evidently of the opinion that such
onslaughts are popular and that mere
mouthings and scandal will suffice to
win votes. Could they count upon any
such result?
No student Of political conditions
in the United States today will be
disposed of doubt that the old pas
time of "trust-busting" which has
SO long served to help politicians
with a little evanescent popularity
or notoriety is out of date. Twen-
ty years ago the discussion of the
trust question was largely negative,
and has continued SO over much of
the intervening period. But of late
1t has become apparent that some
thing much more than a negative
program Is called for.
The administration. which in
some instances has lent itself too
readily to nuwarranted attacks up
on legitimate business enterprises,
has felt the hollowness Of the situa-
ton, and President Taft has
sought ever since taking Office, to
find some positive program that
would answer the purpose. This was
seen in his federal incorporation plan,
and has appeared in not few other
proposals, none of which, however.

Revision Merely po.tooned.

The president. 1t is true. ha' taken
a great responsibility. but he has done
1t with his eyes open and without
counting the cost to his political for
tunes. Few presidents have acted
with greater moral courage in any
emergency. His conten ton is simply
that the bills submitted to him were
makeshift measures based on imper-
feet knowledge of the tariff. and that,
as such immature and hasty legisla-
ton unsettles business and serves no
good purpose, 1t would be better to
wait for the result of the labors of the
tariff board and revise the schedules
in a sober mood free from the temp
tation to play politics" Revision Is
postponed, not rejected or repudiated
Congress can try again at the regular
session. and we venture to say that
1t will improve upoe, the bills the

A NATURAL KITCHEN
Eggs Cooked in the Hot Springs
of Mexico.
Heated Waters Have Been Known for
Their Medicinal and Curative
Properties Since Country
Was First Explored.

Candelaria, Mex.-One OF the most
remarkable groups of hot springs in
the world Is situated on the Mexi-
can side OF the Rio Grande near here.
There are scores OF these bub-
bling streams OF water flowing
from the rock formation and
into gulch that empties into
the Rio Grande. The waters of these
springs have been known for their
medicinal and curative properties
from the time of the first exploration
and settlement OF Mexico. Thousands
Of afflicted people have made pilgrim
ages to this remote region and sought
the benefits OF the thermal springs.
Notwithstanding the fact that they are
situated in an almost inaccessible To-
cality and can only be reached by an
overland journey Of more than 80
miles from the nearest railroad point
there is never time that health
seekers may not be found camping at
the place.
There are no accommodations at
the primitive and crude devices that
are rigged up to obtain the benefit Of
the waters. Frequently visitors con-
struct crude adobe rooms over one
of the springs and use them for sweat
boxes. The bath tubs usually consist
OF digging a hole In the ground and
letting 1t fill with the hot water, the
health seeker taking his outdoor bath
in that water perhaps a canvass for a
canopy to keep out the blazing sun.
There Is not such thing as a hotel
or eating house within many miles of
the place. The visitors must bring
their own supplies and live next to ma
ture during their stay. whether 1t be
brief or greatly prolonged.
The waters OF these springs are said
to be good for many chronic Ills. That
a great number of cures that are lit

ranging in temperature from 10 to

minutes. and by placing beans in the

teresting and picturesque sights of the
place is the cooking operations Of the
campers. Meat is also cooked in this
manner.
In the days when the Comanche and
other tribes of Indians roamed through
West Texas these hot springs were
used by them as natures sanitarium
for the sick members Of the different
tribes. The older inhabitants of this
region well remember that in the ear

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA

When my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with 1t. 1t came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days 1t would dry down in scaly. white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as !

she was entirely cured. Now she Is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

WILL MERELY ADVISE
TARIFF EXPERTS ARE NOT TO
MAKE A TARIFF.
Matter Eventually viii. Of Course, Be
In the Hands Of congress-Advice
on the Question Always Has
Been Taken.

It seems almost certain that on the
tariff question we are approaching a
contest between experts. Just as in
some recent murder trials We saw
prominent alienists ptted against
each other, some testifying for and
others against the accused. SO shall we
see prominent tariff statisticians and
socalled authorities in opposition
camps next winter when congress re-
sumes consideration of tariff revision.
The public is not advised Of the
sources Of the information Mr.. Under
wood and his friends accepted when
preparing their tariff bills. But they
had assistance, OF course. and from
men whom they considered competent
for the work. There is probably not a
majority member OF the ways and
means committee who, unassisted.
could have framed either the wool
schedule. the so-called farmers free
list bill, or the cotton schedule. which
the house passed. Tariff experts must
have been employed to supply the f,g-
ures and put these measures into
shape.
And yet the president in his vetoes
picked those bills to pieces and con-
demned them. He spoke with empha-
sis as to the farmers free list bill. de-

In his eyes the work represented not
only haste, but ignorance. and he was
surprised that it has been accepted by
either house Of congress.
Now the president who is not tar
sistance of experts. He leaned upon
others for details, and was satisfied
with the information supplied. And
his advisers were no more known than
Mr. Underwood's.
But next winter the presidents ad-
visers will be known. He will base
his recommendations upon the in
formation collected by the tariff board

and experts may go. but congress goes
