Another Mistake OF Taft.

A statement Of President Taft that
apparently has escaped general notice
is that he will veto any tariff bill
which affects Industries that the tar
if board has not investigated.
In other words this means he will
disregard the authority which is vested
IN congress and in congress alone by
the constitution to fix the duties on
imports.
II is a kind of impudence, born of
power that ought to be rebuked. That
the president has a right to veto any
bill passed by congress for cause is
not denied, but that he should serve
notice in advance upon the congress
of the United States, a coordinate
branch Of government, what he will do
in case it does this or that, savors
Of tyranny. In this connection the
New York Tribune, a republican paper,
says
Mr. Taft has promised TO send to
congress as soon as it convenes the
tariff boards reports on the wool and
wooden and the cotton schedules and
as soon thereafter as it can be com
pleJed, 10 report on the metal seized
ule. and 10 recommend with all the
force al his command a revision of the
schedules in accordance with these re-
ports
This warning makes il perfectly
clear to the democratic leaders, as it
must to an interesting public, that the
Of -
three noted would be not only a waste
Of time but worse. II would almost
certainly involve failure to procure
for the consumer the relief which
would be afforded by such revision of
these three schedules as may be in
Dictated by the tariff boards reports.
Democratic spell-binders are never
weary Of telling the voters that they
are being robbed by the tariff When
congress gets down to business the
democratic leaders of the house, where
all tariff bills must originate, will have
an opportunity to revise three of the
most important schedules in such a
way as to afford the consumer some
measure of relief and insure the ap-
proval OF the president Will they
demonstrate their sincerity by taking
advantage Of the opportunity. or their
insincerity by passing measures which
they know in advance the president
viii not approve?"
The president may recommend any
thing ne pleases and base it upon the
report Of any hand-picked board he
pleases, but when il comes to action
the congress Of the United States is
supreme. AS 10 the proposed demon
stration OF sincerity" the democratic
leaders in congress can only demon
strate this by standing by their ms -
The report Of the tariff board will be
accepted or rejected according 10 its
justice and applicability 10 the ques-
tons at issue. and not simply because
the board was hand-picEed for the pur-
pose of pushing through administra-
ton measures.
In late years there has been entirely
too much Interference by the executive
branch of our government with the
legislative and judicial branches. II
is about time that some president were
taught salutary lesson.

nounced the notorious Cox machine in
Cincinnati. He said he could take
He declared this foul republican ma
chine was a stencil in the nostrils of
all good citizens. The people of Ohio
realized that William H Taft was tell
ing the truth. and they applauded him
vigorously and with the utmost sin
cerity
On Tuesday Mr.. Taft voted for the
Cox machine which is still the dis
graceful alliance of politics, corrupt
business and the brothels that it was
in 1905. The president also Endorsed
the candidate of the Cox machine on
the ground that conditions had sub
stantiaIly changed"
Whatever the president was abiding
to. it was not the Cox machine, for it
had remained as foul as ever. The
only change visible to observers is
that, whereas six years ago Mr.. Taft

protection" said a famous states
man, enriched the few at the expense
of the many; the rich at the expense OF
the poor"
A half century Of the operation of
the protective policy in the United
States illustrates its effects. Of all
the factors that have contributed to
the colony of mushroom millionaires
in this country, nothing has played
such an important part as the pToteC-
tive tariff. AS a majority of the mag
mates who live in mansions along Fifth
avenue, and whose sons make life a
JOY for the sensational newspapers by
marrying chorus ladies, got their
wealth through the republican-given
privilege of picking the pockets of the
people through favoring tariff rates.
The masses are poorer to the extent
that the magnates have been made
over rich.
"WHCLEHOGGERS."
IN Germany the tariff wall is even
higher than it is here. There, as here,
the people are protesting against in
creased cost of living. But in Ger
many they have another name for
standpatters. They call them whole
hoggers.''
