VetOes for Politics

In reflecGng upon the motives as well
as the capacity of the House of Represen-
tatIves the President is playing with edged
tools. There is rather more reason for
sneers about vetoes for politics than for
sneers at tariff for politics, The Demo
cratic House did just what Democratic
House was elected by the people TO do,
and VIC President did not do exactly what
his campaign speeches ana his repeated
remarks about the wool schedule bad le /
the country to expect.
The President had strained his relations
with his party by negotiating the reciprc
city agreement and driving il through
Congress- against the opposition of the
greater part OF the Republican members
Of both houses in two Congresses. But
by vetoing three tai,ff reduction bills pre-
pared in the House he has strengthened
bis relations with the ultra protectionists
and materially increased the probability
OF his denomination.
Senator Bristow's reply 10 the Presi-
dent has great force. If it be urged
against it that he appears as the champion
OF Senator LaFollettee, who is seeking
the Presidential nomination, the same
cannot be said of the structures of The
Commercial and Financial Chronicle.
which has no politics and is devoted
richly to business. Where corporations
are involved it is too strongly and unvary-
ingly on their side, but on the tariff it
maintains as neutral position as is prac-
ticable. Its opinion on the vetoes, there
fore, is of decided impoi lance. 1t hearth
ly approves ofthe veto of the bill reducing
cotton and steel and chemical duties, but
of the other bills it says:
1t is to be regretted that President Tat
could not also see his way clear to sign
two of the tariff bills which the Democrats
sent TO him for his approval We mean
the bill revising the wool schedule and
the measure known as the Farmers Free
ist Bill. Had he done this the tariff
question would to that extent have bee n
taken out of the domain of politics and
the result must have been distinctly bene-
fetal to trade and business by the re-
moval Of at least that much of uncertainty
regarding the tariff situation. AS
he admits that the wool schedule needs
revision, and stands willing apparently to
| give his approval TO some kind of a rcv
| sion scheme, 1t seems to us it would have
been better had he accepted the bill sent
to him. The Farmers Free List
| Bill was not a very extensive measure,
anyway, and its enactment would have
placated the farmers. Had President
Tar approved these two measures he
would have gone great way toward de.
priling the Democratic party of campaign
material and removing the tariff question
as an issue rom next years Presidential
campaign.
There is an opinion of the veioes which
as nearly as possible represents busi-
ness view devoid of party feeling.

MARYLAND has so many other things
to attract the attention of men and money
that the coal deposits which enrich its
western counties have not been given the
attention elsewhere they would have re-
ceved had they been in some less favored
State The most recent report of the
United States Geological Survey shows
that there was mined IN this State last
year Say, I25 tons of coal, and that there
still remains unmined enough to last for
more than thousand years at the same
rate of production. The coal, too, is of
good quality and of much higher steam
producing power than great deal which
is mined in States that are considered of
more importance in coal production This
coal all lies within easy reach of Balt-
more, and serves TO insure this city
against any shortage of fuel supply for
many years to come. This is matter
that should be taken up by the Greater
Baltimore Committee and illustrated and
exploited in all the literature 1t sends out
An abundant supply of good fuel at fair
price is one OF the most attractive propo-
sitions that can be put before the manu-
facturer seeking location for his pro-
posed plant Fuel and transporta ton
combined are ire sistible, and that is the
combination Baltimore has to offer

MR.. TAFT AND HIS CAM
PAIGN FOR RBNOMI N A
TON.

hr. Tat has opened his campaign for
denomination by the Republican party.
He has planned to follow up this OPEN
ing speech made at Hamilton, Massa-
chusetts by campaign embracing
twenty-three States, including the State
Of Maryland as stated by the press dis
patches. The chief object Mr. Taft
has in view is to convert the Insurgent
Republicans in the Western and Middle
Western States.
He has certainly cut out big Job
of work for him or for any other cand-
date who ever went before the people
of this or any other country.
In the first place the Psesident will
find II a most difficult thing to convince
those common sense Independents and
Republicans Of the Western States, who
know their own interests and also know
what they want, that he has not been a
hvpocrite from the opening Of his cam
paign in 1908, to the present time on the
tariff question, which is the burning issue
now before the people, and is bound
to be the burning question in the next
Presidential election In all of his
speeches in that campaign on the subject
of the tariff, and there were a number
of them made on that issue, he distinctly
pledged his party and himself that there
should be revisions Of the tariff down
ward. He distinctly said that the tariff
in parts at least, was too high, and that

WITH the Reciprocity. Reapportion-

credit, what person would have the hard
ihood to say that the four months session
of Congress has been fruitless? BY the
framing of the Wool Tariff. the Farmers

the Democratic majority of the House

for constructive legislation. The manner
in which the WAYS and Means Com

the competence of the Democratic lead
ership Whatever of the outcome of
OF the present session is open to
criticism may be traced to lnsurgent mar

Salem, Va, June IA, 1911.
Editor Jeffersonian: Can you tell
me why it is that our people will
spend dollars to send the Christian
religion to foreign lands and not one
cent to the foreigners who come to
our land? Did you ever hear Of any
Christian minister going to a railroad
or any other camp or public works
and offering those foreigners Christ's
love and saving grace? No, it is too
much like work. You can apply this
to our own people who have not the
good things of this world. In any
section of these United States you
can find hundreds who never go to
church and who are never visited by
our ministers. Yours,

Dear Mr. Watson: Maybe you
don't care so much about the "Wo-
men folks" writing you. But after
reading so much Of the meeting Of
July 4th it makes my heart glad to
see SO many people who say they
will attend that meeting. Then my
heart is sad for fear that on that great
month when you go to Atlanta to
conduct the campaign for Old Man
Peepul, that some Hokeite on one of
these occasions will play the Judas
Of old" Remember Mr.. Watson,
how easy President Mckinley was
shot; be careful, oh, be careful.
While I'm sure you will have many
tried and true friends with you on
that day, who will guard and protect
you, but, with all these, be on the
safe side. Be careful, and were such
a thing to occur there's many of your
true friends who, with Maj. McGre-
gor heading them, would search to
the ends Of the earth for your assas-
sin. But trust in Him whose ever
seeing eyes are watching over you,
and whose protecting arms are about
you. A prayer goes up from my
heart for you. Why did you turn
back that afternoon when you
started for your customary stroll?
You say for no reason that you can
recall. Mr.. Watson, it was Gods
voice that turned you back. Oh, that
l could write something that would
be encouraging, for you need it.
May God ever bless and keep you.
