WHITNEY OUT AGAINST EOSS
Late Democratic Candidate says He
with Taft on the Tariff.

BosroN. Oct. s.-Henry NJ. Whitney.
Of Massachusetts, when he ran on the
Democratic ticket several years ago.
tonight issued a statement indorsing
Louis A. rockingham. the Republican
nominee this year. Whitney took no
active part in the campaign a year ago
when Gov. Foss. with whom he was allied
In certain business propositions. was
stumping the State.
When Senator Lodge was up for reelec-
ton last spring Whitney came out IN his
favor and II was reported that Gov. Foss
was greatly offended. Stock Of a certain
coal mining company in which Foss and
Whitney were largely interested took a
tumble from around SO share TO below
e. and it was rumored that Foss had un-
loaded his holdings on Whitney. This
was denied by the Governor. Mr.. Whit
| ney says in his sta atement:
TO my mind there ID one issue which
transcends in importance TO the people
OF Massachusetts all the other issues
combined. and that is the tariff issue.
Whether the people Of Massachusetts,
| will approve the cut and slash policy OF
tariff revision a. applied to her industries
by the Democrats in Congress or the safe
and sane method proposed by President
Taft is the main question to be determined
at the polls on November 7. For myself
have no question as to what the verdic,
of the people Of Massachusetts should
be on this question"
This ia not a new departure for me
A few years ago when running for Gov
ernor stated repeatedly that in my judg
ment the proper basis Of protection &c
an industry was the difference betweer
the cost Of labor at home and abroad
this difference to be left to com
petent experts to determine. and further
more that after this difference had beer
found the minimum of protection
on this basis should be reached by gradua
reduction covering q number Of yearl
that all concerned might have reasonable
time to adjust themselves to the new con-
ditions.
Hence. since on this question OF tariff
policy. which I consider the question oi
paramount Importance. my views are
and long have been in accord with thost
now adopted by President Taft and tn,
Republicans OF massachusetts,, ! an
compelled to stand with them in thu
present campaign.
Massachusetts is a manufacturing
State. More than one-haf of her people
depend upon the wages they earn in heI
factories and mills for their daily bread
The several industries have grown under
high. in my judgment, but all this canno
be changed in the twinkling OF an ey'
without inviting disaster all along thu
line"

FIRE WAS BENEFIT RATHER
49, THAN CALAMITY.

While in the city last week E. W.
Collins. who is now located at ripple
III the northern part of the state, told
of having on December gath purchased
100 acre tract of land IN that
vicinity and stated that he was about
to buy the timber stumpage on like
tract In that part of the state, and do
some lum bering the coming summer.
Mr.. Collins gave it as his opinion,
after having gone over the fire zone
considerably, that the big forest fire
last fall has not retarded the growth Of
the country in the least: despite the
loss of a vast amount of timber. hut
rather advanced it from ten to twenty
years by making good roads possible.
The underground, two feet and more in
thickness, wentup in smoke. and the
clay soil subsequently absorbed the
moisture which with the underground
had made those places marshy and in
accessible. For vast stretches the
trees were up1ooted and that part of
them that did not burn, be states, can
be removed very readily as The roots
just lay on the surface of the soil. Ha
gave 1t as his candid opinion that fine
grams can be sown there and dairylng
can be conducted on a paying basis in

department have been resorted to en-.
force So bstantlal compliance. Even at
this late date. beginning with the
second half of the century, certain
political influences started the work
and politicians have been and still are
PLAYING pranks IN the administration
of the law. But be that as 1t 10 for
the people to learn by marking time we
are confronted with the actual condi-
tion ana it5ls entitled to impartial dis
cussion and consistent action.
The federal authorities are now
awake and acting. Their motive, good
or bad, ID not. to be discussed here.
The state has tailed to practically ex-
ercise lts own police powers and the
federal government is acting. Il the
federal authorities contine lts acts to
an honest enforcement OF the federal
laws, It is justified SO long as the state
does not enforce Its own laws. .@
When the state acts 90 as to practi-
cally enforce the state laws, if 1t shall
then appear that the federal authorities
still continue to police the state. it
will be time enough for Congress to
consider, but until that condition OK
lists. 80 far as am concerned. I shall
not attempt to criticlse the federal
authorities for any impartial lawful
action that may be taken by them.
If complaint is made that there is
a partial administration shall in
troduce in Congress resolution for an
investigation. see some mention OF
creating a zone outside of and along
tue borders of the Indian country in
which to administer the laws differently
than elsewhere. I cannot think that
the state, as state or the federal gov
eminent would demonstrate by failure
to take notice in one case and by OFF,
cial act IN the other that these govern
ments are so deficient in appreciation
to the true principles of impartial
administration as to permit it.
"When one knows all the laxity Of
administration of the liquor and other
laws in many cases, it is quite sug-
gestive of something bordering on the
extraordinary when the churches are
interfered with IN the use Of WINE in
the sacraments. The absurdity with
which the administration of the law
has been incumbered lately will. in a
measure, tend to hasten q more sane
administration.
