Blessing to BE Earned.

I'VE house Democrats got together
at the long session of this congress for
the first time In sixteen years. and by
the blessing Of God we will stay to-
gether." Champ Clark.
These words in the statement issued
by the prospective speaker Of the
house might be applied not only to his
fellow representatives, but to Demo-
Gratis outside Of congress, throughout
tho country. For the first time in six
teen years the party presents united
front. and faces toward possibilities Of
usefulness and power. It Is looking for
ward with hope to the possession Of
the presidency, which, with the excep-
ton Of Cleveland's two terms, It has
not held for fifty years. But whether
the party will stay together" in any
sense that is worth while whether
the success Of 1910 will prove mere
momentary bit of sunshine or really
means something for the future-re-
mains to be seen. Mr.. Clark indicates
hfs feeling on the subject In the pious
phrase he uses; but 1t will be good
thing for Democrats in general, and
especially for the Democrats newly
elected to high place. to act on the
supposition that the blessing of God
has to be earned.-New York Evening

Robbery by Trusts.

One allegation OF the governments
attorneys, is that S10,000,000 In stock
was given, without cost, to H. o. Have
meyer at the time when four inde-
pendent refneries were absorbed.
Another charge is that certain d.
rectors bought Independent refineries
and resold them to the trust at greatly
Increased values, thereby enriching
themselves at the expense OF the mass
of stockholders. Independent refineries
SO purchased were permitted to re-
main idle Aor were dismantled.
The result Of all these operations Is
that the public is forced to pay divi-
dends on watered stock, on dead In
vestments and on vast fortunes un-
fairly obtained by directors, at the ex-
pense of the small stockholders.
Through their greed and their dis
honesty the men who organize and
control the trusts defeat the only pub
lie purpose which might be served.
and thus attract the antagonism Of the
public and pave the way for their ,ulti.
mate downfall. For 1t is merely a
question of time when the people will
put out OF existence, in one way OF
another, the thieving combination that
has operated on the plan of the sugar
trust. Kansas City Star.

COUNTRY LOOKS FOR RESULTS
Recent Elections, showed Popular
Demand for Tarlff Reform, and
Democrats Must Heed.

aI
At last even the friends" Of high
protection seem to understand that
they must make some concessions to
the public demands for downward
revision. That understanding came
through the recent elections. which
registered rebuke to the makers Of
the Payne-Aldrich law.
It now seems wholly probable that
the present session of congress will
witness the creation of a real tariff
commission, with sufficient power to
procure tariff facts. II that should
be done, it would be big concession
to the Progressives in congress, and to
the insistent demands of the people
in general. 1t would be formal ad-
mission that the best bill ever Is
not what 1t ought to be. 1t would
also suggest a strategic effort to do
something before the doing OF things
shall be turned over to a Democratic
house.
Meanwhile the Democrats are quite
as active. but with reference to the
time when they shall come into their
inheritance. Wise tariff action at the
hands Of the Democrats viii be hoped
for by the country, but as the cor
rscting Of tariff abuses Is pressing
need, practical cooperation will be
asked Of the Democrats in this ses-
sion II good measures are offered by
the party still in power. The people
have rebuked Republican failure: they
are quite capable of rebuking Demo
cratic obstruction or unnecessary de-
lay. The country wants results much
more than 1t wants advantage for one
party or another. It has little toler-
ance lert for partisan interference
with its business.

PARTY HAS ITS OPPORTUNITY
Democratic Leaders Must Realize
Weight Of Responsibility Resting
Upon Thorn.

We are glad to know that Mr..
Champ Clark is 80 confident of the
ability and honest intention of the
Democratic party to serve the people.
The outlook is, we agree, on the whole
favorable. Broadly speaking the Dem
ocratic leaders seem to feel the weight
of the responsibility which rests on
them and their party. And that Is en-
couraging. Mr.. Clark himself talks
wisely. and with proper conserva-
tism. There are few people, and none
who understand present political con-
ditions, who do not feel that the Dem
ocrats have an opportunity such as
has not often come to a political par
ty. Even the Republican leaders
agree that II the Democratic party
acts wisely, the immediate outlook
for their own, party is rather dark.
They are frankly counting not on Re-
publican strength. but Democratic
weakness and folly, to win the next
election for the Republican party. The
conclusion. of course, is that the Dem
ocrats have everything in their own
hands II they conduct themselves
properly.
We have no doubt Of their desire.
and intention to do this.S The question
is as to their ability to meet their
obligations. The party has been out
of power for long time, and 30 has
been deprived Of the benefit of such
education which administration un-
doubtedly gives. This does not mean
that It Is incapable of welding power,
but It does mean that the party will
have to move carefully. This 1t seems
disposed to do. Fortunately the busi-
ness of government is no mystery, az
some statesmen would have us be-
lieve. For the most part 1t consists
simply In the application of honesty
and common sense to public affairs.
We have never taken any stock in the
theory that the Democratic party a.
such is incapable of governing the
country, or in the other theory that
the Republican party had monopoly
Of intelligence, efficiency and patriot
ism. It's record surely does not prove
this, for are not Republicans now de-
manding that Republican tariff bill,
only a little more than year old. be
made over?-Indianapolis News.

The sugar trust now owns Porto
Rico and Louisiana and appears to be

No Lonoer 10 Be Hoodwlnked.


Many tariff duties were imposed
during the war to compensate for in.
ternal taxes laid on manufactured prod
ucts. Shortly after the war the inter
nal taxes on these articles were re-
moved, but the compensatory duties
were retained. though the only reason
for retaining them had disappeared.
From beginning to end the interests
of the people have been trifled with.
The question never was what was best
for the people. but always what was
best for the interests. It is not sur
prising that the people should have
lost faith in the party. The remark
able thing is that they should have
been SO credulous. But the days of
credulity are past. And in the Repub-
lican party itself there is large and
rapidly growing element that will re-
fuse to be hoodwinked any longer.

It was here, somewhere in the
neighborhood of this sentence Of

left them. In looking back, Flora
could never recall the exact moment
of the departure. But when she raised
her eyes from the grass where they
had been fixed for what seemed to
her eternity she found only Kerr

ing at her with grave face.
"Eh?" he said, "and what about
that honor Of yours? What shall we

She was breathing quick to keep
from crying. Il told you that day at

drawn aside the last curtain. Flora
felt the laughter rising in her throat,
the tears in her eyes.

Ihe LAST Enehantment.

The tallest eucalyptus top was all
of the garden that was touched with

in the morning. She stood a space

ness far above all the other trees,
swaying on the delicate sky. It was
not higher lifted nor brighter burn
ished than her spirit then. Shorn Of
her locket chain, her golden pouch,
free of her fears, she poised looking
over the garden. Then with leap
she went from the veranda to the
grass and, regardless of dew, skinned
the lawn for the fountain and the
rose garden.
There she saw him-the one man
already awaiting her. He stood back
to back with mossy nymph languish-
ing on~her pedestal, and Flora hoped
by running softly to steal up behind
him. and make of the helpless marble
lady buffer between their greetings.

nymph's bulk, or forgot how invaria-

TARIFF IN MAKING.
SOME TRICKS MADE USE OF BY
SPECIAL INTERESTS.
For One Thing, the Idea That Most Of
the Schedules Were Beyond Pop
ular Comprehension Has Been
Widely Exploited.

1t Is proposed, as q necessary meas.
ure of public enlightenment. that
government commission shall trans
late the tariff into English that may
be understood by the people. The
need for such translation supplies by
itself suggestive commentary on the
methods pursued in, tariff making and
the tricks and concealments employed
to cover the tracks Of special inter
ests which have made them profitable
bargains for favors at the expense Of
the general public.
A Washington dispatch. for exam
pie, tells how tariffs are made:
Nothing funnier. and. nothing
more serious, paradoxical as 1t may
seem. has been seen than the spec
tacle. Of senators and Representatives
voting upon tariff items without the
slightest notion Of their meaning.
The strong hold Of the dictators Of
the textile schedule, for example, has
been the absolute incapacity of the
people to understand 1t. 1t means
much to a textile manufacturer wheth.
er fabric runs 100 threads to the
inch, but 1t means nothing. as tar
iff proposition. to the people. The
tariff board. which is rather wise
body, believes that the people are
entitled to a translation Of their tariff
law. The tariff board is nonpartisan.
1t has no axes Of It's own to grind,
and 1t has no theories to promulgate.
1t is Investigating and will spread the
reports Of its investigations before the
people Of the country. 1t is popu-
lar notion that the tariff board will
report only to the president. Nothing
could be more erroneous. There could
be no worse politics than for the tar
III board to report only to the presi-
dent. The people are entitled to learn
the results Of Investigations OF these
able men and their assistants, and
the reports will be published broad
cast"
OF course Il was the interest of the
| favored few on the inside to create
the general belief that tariff making
was an esoteric mystery, far beyond
popular comprehension. All the peo-
Pile had to do about 1t was to pay the
price and look as pleasant as they
could. Now. when the mystery is ex-
| planned to them in plain English and
they learn that they are paying 200
per cent. tax on articles Of common
wear and from 80 to 100 per cent. on
foodstuffs, they may not look so pleas
ant about 1t; all the more when they
understand that the major part Of
these taxes goes not into the public
treasury but into the pockets Of
manufacturers who have been work
ing the tariff game for all 1t was
worth to them and their allies in con-
sress.
