PLAIN TALK

1t will be remembered that the rea-
Q assigned by Taft for vetoing the
Arizona Statehood bill was on &C
count of the recall provision. Senator
LaFonette questioned the presidents
sincerity in these words:
1T was not the recall of judges
that Taft vetoed; it was the basic
principle CT popular government.
Consider the spectacle of a Presi-
dent of the United States giving ut
terance to solemn warnings against
the tyranny of a popular majority,
and the dangers of tmomentary gusts
of popular passion"
Nov comes the President of the
United States. himself exalted by the
votes of the popular majority, and
declare that the people cannot be
trusted to rule; that up to~a certain
point it is well to let them play at
self government, but beyond that it
must submit to government from
above. Taft beliyes in government
by a select few.
Taft suggests that he is using this

Congressman Victor Murdoch of
Kansas, publicly declares that Taft
cannot be reelected president, if
the democrats nominate Governor
woodrow Wilson and Murdoch is a
Republican too. But not a stand
patter. The following editorial from
a recent issue of the Sioux City
Qowal Times is interesting.
Victor Murdock, of Kansas, the
pioneer progressive Republican Of
the House, tells The Tribune's Wash
ington correspondent very frankly
that in his Judgment President Taft
can not be reelected if Woodrow
Wilson is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis, He classes even Iowa, where
he has been delivering chautauqua
addresses, as debatable ground in a
contest between Taft and Wilson.
Mr.. Murdock's opinion is given
without bitterness He intimates no
intention on his part Of refusing to
support Mr.. Taft should he receive
the nomination. He speaks merely as
a politician who knows the people of
the Middle West, and gives his calm
judgment of the political situation as
it is, not as he would like it to be.
1t is superf1uous to recount in 1ue-
tail the reason for the latent feeling
of Western hostility to the president.
These reasons are witten large in the.
record of Tafts administration of
the last two years and a half, and the
president, by ayowing his purpose to
veto practically all the progressive
legislation passed at the present ses-
sion of Congress threatens to add t.
them, The real point is, howeye
that the hostility exists. That is We.
they are on the ~housetops warning
their party of the danger that threat
ems it, and why they are convinced
that the party ought to nominate
some other man /"

OF fourteen, whereas the hearing on
the Payne@b bill with fourteen schedules
began November IL and the bill was
reported to the house March 18, q
period cf a little over four months
devoted to IA schedules.
Nevertheless, and notwithstand-
ing, the president signed the Payne
Aldrich-Sm0ot bill and vetoed ours.
@Instead of being slapped together
hastily without due consideration, the
democratic wool bill was one of the
most thoroughly and carefully con-
sidered tarif bills ever presented to
any president for his signature.
=
In view Of the foregoing facts, it
surely must be that the president, in
his zeal to reform the broken lines
of the standpatters. forgot that all
men were entitled to a square deal
and when he uttered this monstrous
and p~reposterous sentence:
"The bills bear. internal evidence
of the fact that they rested on a ba-
sis Of not tariff for revenue only, but
tariff for politics only.
I" Really / do not see how he could
ind it in his heart to utter the fore
going WOIQS LOT WHICH Cu0E0 IS no Dd-
sis of fact in the universe.
Never in the history OF govern
ment. I venture to say, have import
ant public interests been dealt with
in such a light hearted way with
such absolute ignorance of the effect
of legislation and with such willing
ness of sacrifice of business interests
to political exigencies.
THAT is as reckless and unfair a
statement as has been put into print
since Gutenberg invented movable
type, and is a personal reflection en-
the sense, honesty, integrity, bona
fdes and patriotism of every man,
democrat or republican, who voted for
these bills. AS such, | resent them,
not for myself alone, but for all who,
voted as l did.
"'The president ruched in to create
an issue. We pick up the glove lung
into our faces and the faces of the
consumers of the land We gladly &C
cept his gage of battle. We confident
ly, believe that the people win en-
dors our cause Nand give us the VIC
tory for we have right and truth and
justice on our side"

NEW GUN TO SHOOT AT AERO.
PLANES
1t Has Effective Range of Z Mics
To Be Tested Shortly.

Washington, August 30-A new g.
FOUNDER gun, equipped with specially
adapted high explosive ~projectiles and
shrapnel shells to demolish aero
planes and bal1ons in battle, has been
perfected by the United States army.
1t can be elevated at an angie and
possesses a maximum reflective range
of seven miles. The construction of
the new rifle has just been completed
at the Rock Island, Illinois, arsenal.
Experiments with it will begin at the
Sandy Hook proving grounds within a
fortnight. The army thus is in adj
vance of the navy toward the sc1u-
ton of the problem of defense again
st airships. The navy only a few
days ago conducted its first tests
with the carriage of a 1-pounder gun.
The shells which this army gun
will hurl into the skies will be loaded
with dunnite CIR other high explosives
and upon bursting will send forth
a shower of shot in a come-lke area
similar to the performances of a sky
rocket, almost certain to strike an
airship if aimed with any degree of
accarary.
Other projectilies which have been
designed for the new gun contain on
1y a high, explosive which, upon
exploding, would wreck any airship
in its vicinity.
Following in the wake of these
powerful projectles will be tracers,
which will aid in accurately aiming
the gun upon the course of a hostile
airship. The tracers to be used IN
the daylight hours will be of smoke,
while sparks will show the path of
the shell at night.
The sight of the new gun also has
been perfected, designed to meet the
changing conditions of the trajectory
of a projectile fired at varying angles.
In the coming experiments the
army will shoot at balloons and box
kites, and possibly a real airship will
be used to sight at great distance
The signal corps will be asked to CO.
operate with the ordance department
and send one of its Sairship now at
College Park, Md, to the proving
grounds.
Credit for the inyestion belongs to
ordnance experts of the army, work
ing undeE the election of Brigadfer
General William Crozier, chief of or
dnance.

THE ISSUE NEXT YEAR

f~-Ns
eThe presidents action in killing al
tarin bills offered to him at this time
makes two things virtually certain
One is that there will be no tariff
reform during the regular session o.
congress next winter, and the other
somewhat a c~orollary, is that the
tariff question will be a leading. il
years campaign.
thinks Dallas (Texasl News.
The president has shown that he
is determined to veto all tariff legis-
Iatfon that does not observe this new
rule that the duties shall be left high
enough to cover the difference in cost
of production. The democrats can
not, without recanting their creed
and stultifying themselves. conform
their tariff legislation to that rule.
Thus it IS impossible for them, ex-
cept in singular ~casessto pass any
tariff bill which the president will
approve. There is yirtully . dead
lock as between the president and a
majority of congress with respect to
the tariff, and that deadlock can be
broken only by the people at the polls
During the presidents special ses-
ion the democrats, with a better re-
gard for the public interests than the
president has shown, yielded some of
their party contentious in the hope
that something could be accomplish
ed in behalf of the people by a policy
of Cancellation. They can hardly be
expected to be so self-abnegant on
the eve of a presidential campaign,
and especially since they have every
reason tc believe that they are on
the popular side of the tariff contro-
versy.
The decision of Speaker Clark to
go after the president with hammer
and tongs'' and the fact that he has
already given him a "broadside"
means that the. democrats are not
temporizing with the tariff question
That they are determined to keep
faith with the people Is clearly appar
ent and the fight for real tariff
reform is now on in dead earnest.
