what MI Cooper says Of the south

southern and the southeastern, as well

trouble is that the Iowa orchard has

"PLAYJNG POLITICS.

I Champ Clark, writing a signed in
terview at Quincy" said the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, answers Mr.. Taft's
charge that the democrats played
politics at the special session, with
the claim that Mr.. Taft himself played
politics. We deny 1t. Mr.. Taft did not
play politics. 1t he had played politics
the special session would not have
been called. There is no higher evil
dence of Mr.. Taft's conscientiousness
than that he called a democratic
house to Washington in order to adj
vance reciprocity, knowing. as he
must have known, that nothing short
of: divine wisdom could tell what it
would do after it got there. He took
all the risks in the case. His action
may be called patriotism. 1t may be
called sincerity Of conviction But it
never can be called politics. Some re-
publics think he played the deuce, but
none Of them thinks he played poll
tics"

Sioux City Journal: What do the
different kinds of leadership mean az
to the political problems Of the day7
The tarin is uppermost In the public
mind just now. The ultra-radicals
say: LET us do away with protec.
ton" Lesser radicals say: Let Us
cut the tariff in two, that the people
may buy things cheaper, and see
what happens The conservatives
say: LET us leave things alone; they
are good enough" President Taft
says: Let US preserve the protective
system upon which we have built up
our great Industries, but let us meas
ure it with a scientific rule that. will
permit cutting Of every inch Of need
less and harmful protection. Let the
rule and the application Of It be such
that the consumers can get all that 10
coming to them without an abandon
ment Of the system upon which our
prosperity is founded" Isn't that what
most of us, democrats as well as re-
publicans, really want?

TAFT WILL sTRJKE BACK.

Springfield, ILL.,, News.-During the
past two years insurgent leaders in
the house and the senate have been
unsparing in their criticism Of Presi-
dent Taft. To all such criticism the
president has maintained dignified
attitude, most of the time remaining
silent, and at times replying to such
criticism in a calm, dispassionate way
But in his recent utterances, the
president has indicated that he pro.
poses to meet the insurgents on com.
mon ground, and to answer them in
language that is quite as forceful and
vigorous as that employed by, his enc
mics.
In his speech delivered at Hamilton,
Mass, Taft threw down the gauntlet
to LaFollette and others of his kind,
and It Is likely that during his forty
day tour through the west, he will
strike from the shoulder" with con.
siderable more vigor than he has in
the past.
Already the progressives are
claiming that Taft's speech at Hamil.
ton, if it is to be followed by others
OF the same sort, will bring about q
serious party division, entirely over.
looking the fact that division has al.
ready been brought about by the pc
culiar antics Of the insurgents through
out the past two years. AS long as
Taft refused to strike back LaFol-
lette. Cummins, Borah and others kept
up their criticism and abuse Of the
president, taking courage from his ST.
lence, and now that Taft is showing
fight, they are quick to claim that he
is splitting the party.
! But Taft will have by far the better
of the argument, as throughout his
administration he has maintained a
sane and consistent policy with def
mite purpose in view, and that purpose
has been to bring about the greatest
good to the greatest number. With the
insurgents the prime purpose of the
fight is always to promote their own
political interests.

Gently completed and dedicated is con-

tons in the United States. The stated
cost of the structure is about $1,000

for building.
The main waiting room has floor
space of 1850 square feet, and the
distance from floor to dome above is
more than 90 feet. The total space
on the first floor given to public use is
9,68O square feet, and approximately
equal amounts OF space are devoted to
the railway Offices and the express and
baggage rooms. The station is jointly
used by several railway systems, some
of which make Tacoma their transcon-
tinental terminus.

Special Foreign Editions

AS the Pacific Northwest wants more

in foreign tongues have been persuaded
to issue special editions for circulation
abroad where these languages are cur
rent. Large numbers of papers in Ger
man, Swedish, Norwegian, etc., are be-
ing sent abroad to interest those hardy
people to come to Washington and
Oregon. Several land companies also
expect to send colonization agents to
foreign lands in the near future in order
to work up business. 1t is expected a
large number of people will be brought
