The conviction is growing in
Democratic circles that the sensible
method of tariff revision is the plan
of taking up the tariff sch. dule by
schedule rather than attempting to
take it all in one bite. The WOODEN
schedule, the lumber schedule and
the other schedules bearing direct
ly upon the necessaries of life would
under this plan, be among che first
to receive attention. The Topping
off of exorbitant tariff duties in each
Of these schedules would afford i'm
mediate relief to the masses who
have suffered from the rapacity of
greedy trusts, without in the least
disturbing business conditions. The
reduction of other duties to a reve-
nue. basis could follow more leisure
ly and with ample time for full con-
sideration OF each schedule. An
omoibus tariff bill. with every pro-
tected interest menaced at the same
time, would offer just the opportu
mites for log-rolling which the
trusts desire and which ought in
common sense TO bo avoided
Schedule by schedule revision and
an extra session Of congress to TN
dertake the, work are the beacon
lights Of an honest tariff and Dem
ocratic victory in 1912.

An ElegY Upon Fame.

How like drifting cloud, dan
cling mote, a fitting ghost, is fame !
a platitudc, of course, but even
platitudes are sometimes true. This
one belongs to that rare minority.
1t is proved anew million times a
year. Where are the star pitchers
of yesterday? Who gives thought
these days TO Nan Patterson? Il
Jake Kilrain still alive? What has
become Of Dreyfus? Who knows
the addresses of Ciprina Castro,
Com Harvey, Mrs Lease, General
Coxey and Eugene Sandow? Who
was Vice President in 1888?
Even the noblest souls sink fually
into neglect and oblivion. For q
moment the spotlights of a whole
nation concentrate their blazing
rays upon one towering form, or
one pair of flashing eyes, or one
bald head-anI then they shift and
darkness engulfs that superman.
One calls to mind a magnificent
creature whose perfection enchant-
ed the plain people but few years
ago. He was tall, bald, whiskered
handsome and happy; great par
tisan of the plain people; a jealous
watcher of the Constitution; he had
no human SINS and no bad habits.
Buttermilk was his only beveridge;
he abhorred all malt liquors and
bubbling grape juice the insidious
cocktail made him SILVER with hor-

image, some inert incarnation of
jurisprudence, over the most opu-
lent advirtuous deliberative body in

Naturally enough, the great mas
SEES loved and admired this colossus.
When he visited an Indian county
fair the peasants, in their eagerness
to behold him, tramped one another
to death. HIS portrait graced ter
million fresides, his inclsive apoth-
ogrems and aphroisms entered into
the very grammar of homiletics; he
seemed the legltimite heir of Saw
onarola, Francis Bacon, Cotton
Mather, John Bunyan and Godfrey;
of BhullaD. Among all the Repub-
licans there was mole so uncompro-
misingly Republican. Among all
the patriots there was none so all
fred patriotic. Folks began to
wonder what the world would do
with him after he had served two or
three terms as president.
| And get the towering giant, that
animated decalogue, that pearl of
great price, is today an obscure and
supple commoner. robbed alike of
his whiskers and fame, and with
none so poor to do him reverence.
