is now experiencing, is a hundred
wears old. The speeches that are being
made now and will be made during
the fourteen months will not differ
very materially from those made In
campaigns seventy-fve years ago. The
speeches against the tarih are the
same old story and the effect OF a
tariff for revenue only has always
been the same that Is to put the
laborer out of a job and to reduce to
almost nothing, the price OF farm pro-
ducts.
We realize that these statements
are not in accord with the present
clamor-but bear this in mind-they
are, in accord with the facts. The his
tory of this country shows that with
out exception that marked tariff reduc-
lions. have resulted in great disaster
to the people as a whole. The man
with ready money. can buy property
cheap in times of panic. and profit by
selling when times get good.
The man in this country who mas
his home or farm, or business only
partly paid for generally loses 1t all
when the tariff gets 50 low that the
foreign manufacturer can snip ms
goods here, because II the laborer IN
Europe makes the goods that are SOLO
in this country, the factory here mas
to shut down, thus putting the Ameri-
can laborer out of Job, and greatly
reducing his ability to buy the farm
er's produce. That is the way that q
low tariff hits both the laboring man
and the farmer.

The watermelon is the cause OF
more bum table eitquitte than the

which has to be impaled at the waist

which is Worse-the man who inhales
vertical section of watermelon with
a gulping intake like the suction OF a
steam pump or the guest who runs q
nervous finger over his rear gums IN
order to round up an overflow OF
green corn. The coarse husband
who causes watermelon rind to meet
behind his ears every time he makes
a pass at it has induced many a trust
full wife to view the table manners OF
the shoat with increasing admiration.
A prominent eastern society journal

more cruel and arbitrary every year.

For two or three decades reciprocity
has been progressive plank. To Taft
we owe the very liberal reciprocity
agreement with Canada. Has reci-
'procity ceased to be progressive de-
mand?
Tariff revision in the light of facts
and scientific tests, protection without
extortion, log-rolling and greed, pro-
lection measured by the cost of pro-
duction, has for years been universal
ly regarded as a progressive plank.
Taft is d revisionist, an ant1-extortion
tariff man. believer In the test theo-
retically favored by all the insur-
gents. Wherein is his attitude reac-
tionary? True, he has vetoed patch
work bills and insists on giving the
tariff board time for investigation
time fixed by congress itself-and
using its data. Does this make him q
reactionary? Is revision in August
and in the dark-progressive, and re-
vision in December, and in the light,
reactionary?

Are the presidents positions on con-

Mr. Taft vetoed recall provision,
but on the judiciary recall he is at one
with progressives like Senator Borah
and Woodrow Wilson.
AS an independent and progressive
newspaper the Record-Herald would
like to know from Senator Cummins
precisely on what grounds, by reason
of what vital, fundamental differences
he feels justified in asserting that the
president does not take "the progress

rHE TARlFF COMMISSION.

When the movement for q perma-
mont tariff commission came up u was
argued in behalf of such q system
that 1t would remove the old log-r0li-
ing features OF tariff making and put
tariff building on scientific OASIS.
BY taking up one schedule at time,
advocates OF the tariff commission
plan insisted that trained men could
devote sufficient time to the study OF
the one schedule under consideration
70 give congress all the facts neces-
sary on which to base tariff adjust
ment, such adjustment to be Dased on
the difference In the cost OF manu-
facture at home and abroad, with q
reasonable profit to the American
manufacturer.
This tariff commission has been APP
pointed and is at work on the wool
schedule with the intention Of max
ing report on which to base re-
vision Of this schedule when the regu-
lar session of congress opens IN
December. Congress failed to put over
q hodge-podge revision of the wool
schedule at the extra session because
President Taft had the courage to
veto d bill passed by the old method,
which was set aside when congress
declared for the tariff commission.
That the passage Of Wholesale tariff
BILLS In the extra session was based
on petty pc 'itics is well known. The
movement to put the. president lin
theShole'' failed as it deserved to fall.
Now that the country is committed to
the tariff commission policy. the
people want that policy given trial.

AVIATOR OPENS ILLINOIS.

The Trousdale Brothers in The Avi
tor" presented the initial performance
of the season at the Illinois theatre
last night but the crowd that greeted
the play was wholly out of proportion
to the class of the show which was a
very clever one. Manager Klinck was
very much disappointed and is at a
loss to explain. It seems, however,
that few people expected as good an
entertainment as The Aviator" pro-
vided and that for that reason they
stayed away. When patrons of the
house awaken to the fact that Mana
ger Kinck intends that Rock Island
shall have the best there is in the way
OF legitimate attractions, they will IN
doubtedly keep his house pretty well
filed. The Goddess Of Liberty" and
The Girl l Love" which appear at
the house later this week, are shows
that deserve fun houses and they will
probably have them.

be only one of the features of the
show. These foreign performers have
everywhere been hailed as the feature
of the bills in which they have ap-
peared. Dayton, the man with the four
voices has never performed in this
part OF the country before and his com
ing means that Rock Island vaudeville
goers have a treat in store. There has
been some discussion as to what sort
of a performer Dayton is. The best
way is to go and find out. His act Is
one Of the sensations OF the season.

which is entertained and well worth

interesting, when it is known that a
roll call of the corporations that favor
the system will reveal the facts that
they are the corporations and trusts
that have absolutely refused to permit
their employees to organize, aye. more,
they have demonstrated their willing
ness to eXpend millions of dollars to
keep their employees as helpless to
change the condition under which they
labor, as the slaves were helpless to
do other than the bidding of their
masters. Some will say there is a
difference-that the employees of the
