Portland, Ore, Oct. 4-That, the fed
Grated shop employees of the Hartman
system and the Illinois Central are
riding to fall is the strong belief OF
Mr.. HILL Mr.. Hill expressed SYM
pathy ior the strikers, who, he be-
lieves. will find the railroads involved
in the present strike will be able to
quickly fill the places vacated by the
strikers, and that the latter will be
cut of employment for long period.
THE strike of the shopmen is very
untimely," said Mr.. Hill. Here in
Seattle and on the Pacific coast you
do not have such large percentage
of unemployed men as prevails in the
East The coast country has been for
tunate in this respect. The number OF
unemployed workmen skilled and I'M
skilled in the East and Middle West
is so large that the shop employees OF
the Hartman roads and the Illinois
Central have no chance to win.

Former Speaker Cannon made
a speech in the House one day
last week on the tariff reciproc
ity question. 1t was a good
speech of it's kind and clearly de-
fined where Uncle Joe" stands
on that proposition-he is against
all reciprocity schemes and all
tariff reduction, as proposed by
the Democrats. He will go as
far as he can to hold the stand
pat element of his party in line
to defeat any tariff reciprocity or
reform bills the Democrats may
introduce, and, we doubt not, he
speaks for the standpatters as a
body. 1t is well enough for
"Uncle Joe" and the rest of the
ultra -protectionists to state their
feelings in these matters, but we
hold that they should not become
mere obstructionists to the poll
CIV the Democrats have inaugu-
rated, it puts them in precisely
the position the Democrats Occu-
DIV when in the minority in the
House and condemned by the
Republican majority-obstruc
ton for partisan motives. This
is playing against the desires OF
majority of the people, as ex
pressed at the last national elec
ton; it is also playing into the
hands of the Democrats at the
election of 1912, and will be vel
coined by that party for that
reason. If the Democrats are
given free rein to put their tariff
policies into effect before 1911;
the Republicans can elect any
man they nominate for president
even Mr.. Taft; but by obstruct

The St. Louis Republic recent
ly sent a special writer to Nil
Waukee to review the conditions
in that city after one year of So
clalist government, and he comes
back with the story that it is &
complete failure. In pointing
this out the writer makes q
strong point of the alleged fact
that there are at present 10000
men out of employment in Mil
waukee, for which Socialistic
rule can find no remedy. If this
is to be taken as an argument
against the. Milwaukee expert
ment, it would also answer for
the purpose of condemning Dem
ocratic rule in New York, where
100000 men are reported out of
work, or Republican rule in St.
Louis, where the army of unem-
ployed is also large. In Bir-
mingham, Ala, city and state
in which none but Democrats
ever get into public Office. thOus-
ands of men are out of employ
ment owing to suspended opera
tions in the big steel industries
there, and from all over the
country comes similar tale.
Now, the Socialistic experiment
affects only Milwaukee, but the
Democratic retrial of monkeying
with the tariff affects the whole
country, and by putting two and
two together, it is rather easier
to get the true cause of that
city's labor stagnation by look
ing behind the Democratic door
rather than behind that of Mil
waukee Socialists. That this
isolated experiment in the appli
cation of Socialistic theories must
eventually prove a failure cannot
be doubted, for every surround
ing influence and the economic
traditions of thousands of years
are opposed to it; but that does
not mean these theories are
false, or incapable of successful
application. We are adopting
them through the leading poll
tical divisions of the country as
fast as the people are ready for
them. To apply them any other
way would be too sudden revo-
luton and would cause a serious
disturbance of the whole social
structure. Meanwhile just let
the Milwaukee situation take
care of itself and investigate the
more general one for which the
Democratic party seems to be
responsible.

Blind Greedy-Unfalr.

Careful study of the senatorial
districts planned by Attorney
General Major and Secretary of
State Roach, is unnecessary for
their condemnation by citizens
of fair minds. ** ~ Work
of this kind-blind, greedy, un-
fair partisan jobbery-on the
part of Democratic office-holders
and politicians, has made Mis-
souri, doubtful. The people have
lost confidence in the party lead,
ers, and have almost driven it out
power. It was the one state the
Democrats failed to redeem in
the recent landslide. How much
more partisan trickery will be
needed to make it solidly Repub
lican remains to be seen.-Post

Same Old Gerrymander.

Secretary of State Roach and
Attorney General Major, two
Democrats who slipped into of
flee in 1908 on the strength of
lop-sided returns in Kansas City,
though the state in the same
year gave a majority for a Re
publican president and RepEb-
lican governor, have put forward
a redistricting plan for state
senators by which the upper
branch of the Legislature will be
kept Democratic by two to one,
even when the Democrats are far
behind in the popular vote of the
state. The main facts of this
political abomination are in plain
sight and can be given in a few
words. In 1904 the vote Of Mis-
