To be strong in dull and dreary

Can face. 1t is a noble thing to be

WHAT is A "PRoGREsSIVE?"

Satisfactory or even ineligible definition Of
the term which certain ambitious politicians APP
ply to themselves is sought for in vain When
the National Progressive Republican league as
sembled in Chcaog last week, it was hoped by
both its friends and its critics that the leaders
would define themselves and "progressveness" =
for the needed illumination of the country. 1t
was unfortunate that most of the most notable
names connected with the league were absent
from the list of the 'progressives in conference
ut Chicago and i'll the absence of the putative
leaders, their understands avoided definitions and
other matters concerning which the country is
curious
Lacking any authentic light the subject
of what progressive republican processes to be,
we may turn to the definition of that skilled
political philosopher, DR.. Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey, who thnks-perhaps the wish is
father to the thought-that IA progressive repub-
lican is person who is democrat without
knowing it.
But governor Wilson s definition. while smart,
is not satisfactory. The main difference between
the republican and the democrat is found in the
tariff. and it will be on the tariff that the big
political contest Of 1912 will be waged. The pro-
eresSiye republicans, iii conference at Chicago,
however scmlpulously avoided all mention of the
tariff in their platform. They seem to have con
Nenrnty forgotten that the cause Of their disScn-
sion with the republican party and the Taft add
ministration was the Payne-Ald tariff, and
their contention that the promise of downward
revision not kept.
The silence Of the progrrssves on the one
policy of nationwide interest is significant They
are anxious to be known progressiveS but III
reality they have no title to such name, fol
their political business has been to retard the
progress of the republican party. Their ole
title insurgents, fits them much better. As
insurgents they did their utmost to block the
progress Of the reciprocity bill, and while they
fiirted with the democrats over the tariff revi
sion bills at the last session Of congress, theil
leader, Mr. Robert NJ La Toilette undermined
the Underwood wool bill
The silence Of the progressiveS at Chicago on
the tariff is only more political trick The
nsurgent leaders hail California with acclaim as
progressive state, but they are wise enough tC
recognize that California remains staunchly anC
plainly republican on the tariff Before Caiforni;
republicans commit themselves to Mr. La Toilette
they want to know Just what is the program
of the progressive republicans the question
of most vital Importance to Caifornia-the tariff
The silence of the progressive republicans il
conference at Chicago the tariff may b,
astute politics but it will not satisfy Californians

BRYAN AND CHIEF JUSTICE.

The Grass Valley Union thinks President Taft
is morally bound TO tell William j. Bryan why
he appointed Hon. Edward d. White chief justice
of the United States supreme court. There can
be no good motive on the part of Taft to remain
silent. says the Union
SO President Taft must submit to be catechized
by William j. Bryan whenever that pervasive
individual takes it into his head to demand ex
plantations of the head of the government. Why
is the president bound to answer the questions
OF Bryan more than the questions of any other
citizen? Must he explain to Bryan why he does
anything in an official way?
If we are not mistaken the Grass Valley
Union commended the appointment of Chief jus
tee White 1t changed its mind about his APP
pontment when the democrats and insurgents
began to make politics Of the Standard Oil de-
csion Yet all the members of the supreme court
save Justice Harlan concurred i'll that decision.
Among those who signed it are Justices Lamar
and Lurton, both democrats. Taft appointed
them. Why does not Bryan ask the president
why he appointed Lamar and lmTton! Or WIZ;
he appointed anybody?
1t is an extraordinary notion that the presi-
dent cannot refuse from good motives to explain
his official acts whenever Bryan demands an eX-
PLANTATION Of him. Is the president responsible
to Bryan! Taft defeated Bryan at the polls by
overwhelming majority. Has it come to this,
that the elected president must shape his course
and make his appointments to please the candl-
date he defeated?
Bryan found no fault with Chief Justice
Whites appointment when it was made. He has
! since found fault with it for the shabbeSt of
reasons. He is seeking to make political capital
| of the Standard Oil decision although that de-
csion written by democrat and conquered
| in by all the other democratic members of the
| supreme bench
! Moreover, White was originally appointed to
| the supreme court by Grover Cleveland, Taft did
not put him the bench, he simply promoted
| him. His power to influence decision just
| as great when he associate justice it is
now that he is the presiding officer of the court

CRACKER FACTORY
is ONLY A MYTH

The Carson News says there is a
cracker factory in Reno, but that
no one knows the name of the in
stitution. We believe the News has
been misinformed. If there is such
a factory in the Riverside town, no
one knows about it, unless per-
chance it might be the News edi-
tor, Unless the firm, if there is
one in existence, spends some mon
ey in advertising with the state
papers in exploiting its goods, it
will soon be in the has-been class.
If there is a cracker factory in
Nevada-but what's the use; no one
knows that there is.-Wells Herald.
