The House and Senate of the United
states have passed a bill reducing the
duty on wool. 1t is up to President
Taft to pass it, He will not do it
because the tariff board reported
otherwise. The report of the tariff
board was knocked on the head Nv
Mr.. Underwood. the majority leader
of the House, who knows more about
the tariff than the five members of
the tariff board combined, but Taft
Will not sign the bill. Taft is Stub
born and unreasonable. The House
and Senate ought to pass the Wool
Dill over his veto, as they did the
other day on bill advocated by SEN
ator Cummins of Iowa. Taft is too
much of standpatter and hence his
unpopularity.

lit is to be regretted that Woodrow
Wilson. Democratic nominee for
president, did not exclude the Polish
immigrants from the undesirable i'm
migrants to the United States. The
Poles are among the best emigrants
from Europe. They are an aristo-
cratic and proud race At the time
of the American revolution they were
IN sympathy with our Colonists
against Great Britain, and Kosciusko
rendered invaluable services to the
struggling colonies. Whether the
Poles vote the Republican or Demo-
cratic tickets makes no difference,
They are a noble people, and can al
ways be relied on in the cause of lib
erty.

The Irish Standard has no desire to

Ing Taft will attend to that. What
ever may be said of Theodore Roose-
welt, his thorough Americanism can
not be questioned. In the days of the
Spanish American war he resigned
his position, raised the Rough Riders
and bade farewell to wife and family
to defend the flag in Cuba. While
contributing editor of the Outlook, he
took up his pen and in rugged, We
hement words protested vigorously
against the Peace Treaty engineered
by Andrew Carnegie as a stepping
stone to an alliance with Great Brit
ain. In everything concerning the
safety and glory of the republic
Roosevelt is an American of the AM
orleans. He may be ambitious but
he is patriotic to the core.
We regret that we cannot speak Of
his followers in the same eulogistic
strain. The most of them are in
debted to Roosevelt himself for what
ever prominence they achieved in re.
cent years, and with the exception of
Beveridge of Indiana there is not a
statesman among them. They are
petty politicians out of job and have
nothing to lose by following the die
tator of Oyster Bay. Had they been
men of independent principles they
would not bow down to a self -con-
stituted leader and offer incense to
his capacious nostrils.
OF course Roosevelt will not be-
elected. He spent seven years in the
presidential chair practically two
terms, as he said himself-and then
foisted Taft upon his party. Now he
wants a third term and then he would
not be willing to retire. The country
has done we'll by Roosevelt already,
and he should be buried so, deeply
this year that he will never again
come forth as candidate for the
presidency. The next president of the
United States will be Governor Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey.

and hapless elements of their popu-
lation. The people of the Pacific coast
had clamored these many years
against the admission of immigrants
out of China, and in May, 1892, got at
last what they wanted - Federal
statute which practically excluded
from the United States all Chinese
who had not already acquired the
right of residence; and yet the Chi
nese were more to be desired, az
Workmen If not as citizens, than most
of the coarse crew that came crowd
ing in every year at the eastern ports.
They (the Chinese) had, no doubt,
many an unsavory habit, bred un-
wholesome squalor in the crowded
quarters where they most abounded
in the western seaports, and seemed
separated by their very nature from
the people among whom they had
come to live. but it was their skill.
their intelligence, their hardy power
of labor, their knack at succeeding
and driving duller rivals out, rather
than their alien habits, that made
them feared and hated and led to
their exclusion at the prayer of the
men they were likely to displace,
should they multiply. The unlikely
fellows who came in at the eastern
usurped no place but the very lowest
in the scale of labor"
This was written at a time when
the wooden and cotton mills of New
England were employing non-English
speaking immigrants at pauper wages
though the Mckinley and Dingley
tariffs enabled the millionaire mill
owners to pay good wages to Amer
lean workmen and protect them from
"the pauper labor of Europe" A few
months ago, the class of immigrants
referred to by Mr.. Wilson, having inn
bibed American principles during
their brief residence in America, de-
manded higher wages from the wool
magnates at Lawrence, Mass, and Of
course were refused A strike was
the result, and it ended in victory
for the European immigrants.
Woodrow Wilson has no race pre1u-
dices of any kind and merely express
ed his honest views on the immigra-
ton question. When explaining the
passage in question to Representative
SABBATH of Illinois, Mr.. Wilson de-
clared he meant men of no particular
nation but especially referred to the
cheap laborers brought by the spe-
cial interests from Europe to COM
pete with American laborers who were
entitled to "life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness in the land of their
birth. He disclaimed any intention
of rejecting upon Poles, Hungarians
and Italians as people, for he knew
full well that men of these nationali.
ties havA always been advocates OF
liberty ami independence ct home and
abroad. AS historian and political
economist and champion of the AM
erican wage Garner he wrote from the
fullness of his sympathetic heart and
owes no apology or explanation to
captious critics in the plutocratic Re-
publican press of the country. No
sensible, intelligent working man
whether born in Europe or America,
can find fault with what the Demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency has
said as recorder of public events in
our own day.

AMAZING BRITISH lMPuDENcE.

AMAZING BRITISH IMPUOENCE.
Who would have imagined that Eng
land, of all nations in the world, would
have the audacity of interfering in
the management or control of the Pan
anna Canal? 1t took our breath away
when we read the protest of dear old
Mother England" against making any
distinction between American ships
and the ships of foreign nations pass
ing through the great waterway con.
Meeting the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The stupendous work cost upward of
400,000,000, contributed by Americans
alone and through land owned by
Americans, and yet dear Mother Eng
land" labors under the delusion that
she has as much right to its use and
benefit as the constructors thereof.
And all because new treaty in refer
ence to the canal was made from an
antiquated treaty that had fallen into
innocuous desuetude and then revived
at the magic touch of Lord Paunce.
fote and the late John Hay, who ap-
pears to have been magnetized by the
astute British ambassador. And,
strange to say, Senator Root Of New
York and Senator McCumber of North
Dakota are of the opinion that the
whole world has just as much right
to the use and control of the canal
as the United States!
Two senators Of the East, however,
disagreed with the views of the stand
patters. Lodge, of the Old Bay State.
and O'Gorman, of New York, defend
ed American rights in a cogent argu-
ment, and there is no danger that the
United States senate will yield an
inch to the pretensions of Great Brit
ain. ~
