THE WAR ON HIGH PRICES.

Frances ultimate consumer has
started an attack on the high cost of
living which takes decidedly demon
strative form. Assaults have been
made on grocery stores and meat
shops in the cities and on fruit and
vegetable farms and gardens in the
rural regions. Under threats of de-
istruction of their entire stock grocers
and butchers have been compelled,
for the moment, to reduce prices. In
many places in the farming regions
actual destruction has taken place,
illustrating the usual mob folly. By
decreasing the supply condition has
been created which must, to some ex-
tent, at least, push the price up far
ther.
This French outbreak of lawlessness
shows that the high cost of living
is not peculiar to the United States.
1t is felt in all the great industrial
countries. 1t was one of the causes
of the recent big strike in England,
The labor troubles of few months
ago in Germany and Italy were large
ly melted by it. The pressure of the
high prices of food and clothing is
felt in more acute way in England
and in the great countries of CONT
mental Europe than it is in the United
States, because the margin between
income and outgo Of the average
worker is much broader here than il
is elsewhere. Some of our agitators
pretend that this fierce struggle Ia
make both ends meet is unknown out
side Of the United States, and that
its chief cause is the tariff. 1t does
not require much inquiry to reveal
the fact that this grievance is world
wide.
The minister of agriculture in the
French cabinet has been directed Ia
investigate the present range OF
prices, to compare them with those OF
five or ten years ago, to show the ex-
tent of the advance, to ascertain the
causes, and to recommend Legislation
which would promise to furnish a
remedy. 1t is to be presumed that he
will enter this task with the custo-
mary French acuteness and industry.
When he makes his report he will
find England, Germany, the United
States and the rest of the big indus
trial countries will scan it with in
terest. While, as just intimated, the
problem is not quite SO serious with
us as it is with most of the other peo-
Piles, it is sufficiently troublesome
here to welcome light from any source
which may aid in its solution. OF
course, one Of the reasons why food
is higher priced here today than it
was ten years ago is that production
has not kept pace with consumption.
Perhaps scientific farming, which is
coming into vogue, may help US out
of our troubles in some degree

Sam TRULY in claiming in the Du-
range Democrat that the indictment
against him was dismissed by Judge
McFie, saying it was too trivial for
the court to bother with.
Being in daily attendance at the
1900 term of district court we gath
cred the facts as they transpired.
When the case was called it was an
nounced that the trial could not pro-
ceed because of the absence of let
ter which had bearing on the case.
The letter was quickly located in the
pocket of Juan N. Jaquez. The next
move was made by District Attorney
Reed, who made loud plea that the
prosecution could not proceed with the
trial because a certain boy, who was
the connecting link, was away in Utah.
This was denied, however. Judge Nc
Fie announced that as he had allowed
one continuance he could not allow
another, and the case was thrown out
of court. The grand jury Immediately
took up the matter again and we are
informed that new indictment was
found against the Trubys, which now
stands against them.
This is only a news item given
without bias. OF course Sam has SO
much to think of of this nature he
may have got dates and figures mixed.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE
TARIFF.

President Taft is glad to meet the
Democrats on the tariff issue. They
profess to be eager to make the next
presidential campaign on the tariff,
but, whatever they might accomplish
ON any other issue, on this one they
invite certain defeat
President Taft's denomination is
practically certain and his reelection
most probable. He has been greatly
strengthened by the course of debate
and attempted legislation on the tar
If during the extra session. The DEM
ocratic position and the incapacity of
the leaders of that party were re-
vealed by the proceedings of that ses-
sion, whereas President Taft by his
vetoes of crudely drawn and HARM
full tariff bills has been strengthened
and with him the Republican party.
In his veto messages and in addresses
delivered by him since the adjourn
ment of congress the president point
ed out the defects in the Democratic
bills and at the same time made clear
the danger to the country's welfare
which Democratic control of congress
and the administration would involve.
Champ Clark and some of the other
Democrats thought they would make
an aggressive campaign on the tariff;
but President Taft, by admirable di-
rection of the fighting, has put them
completely on the defensive. Champ
Clark, himself, took defensive, an
explanatory position in the interview
the other day when he tried to an
swer the presidents criticisms.
So it will be and so it ought to
be. The Republicans have been the
trainers of the country's tariff policy,
yet their position is not one of de-
fense. The work of tariff legisla-
tion is not ended. The country is
growing, increasing in population and
wealth, adding to, almost multiplying,
the variety of its industries, finding
new markets and enlarging those al
ready occupied. There is still much
to do, and the Republican party is
marching forward to do it. Hence,
not the Republicans, but the Demo-
Gratis are on the defensive.
This is the way the issues of the
next presidential campaign are franz
ing and this the way in which the
contending forces are falling into line
and forming for battle. To make
President Taft the leader in the COM
ing campaign will not be matter of
courtesy to the incumbent of the pres
idency. He is the logical, the neces-
sary candidate, because of the issues
and the line of battle.
To choose better leader would be
impossible. There is not one who
would approach him in the assurance
Of victory at the polls which his nonri-
nation will give. He is entitled to the
nomination because of the excellent
character Of his administration, and
the faithfulness with which he has
discharged every trust.-Dcrver Re.
