The Roorback Crop.

The season for roorbacks opens promis-
ingly. Before the pussy willows show
the green there will be lots and lots and
lots Of tall yarns in circulation about
presidential matters. and before mex,
seasons snow hies-we should have q
fan or two before election day-the mum.
Der may be beyond computation. Publici-
ty is the cry. and public entertainment
the most remunerative Of all occupa.
tions.
Take a sample or two. showing how the
opportunity Is being improved.
1t is reported In Kentucky that Mr.
Taft contemplates Withdrawing from the
contest for the Chicago nomination. This
yarn is in the interest Of Mr.. Roosevelt
who has some friends in the state. Mr.
La Toilette has never had a followint
there. Until Mr.. Roosevelts name was
brought forward, there was no sugges
ton of opposition to instructions for Mr.
Taft. Now a few Roosevelt clubs exist

The La Toilette Announcement

Mr.. La Follettes announcement over
his signature that he is going beyond the
declarations of presidential candidates
into their records on issues now under
discussion is most decidedly enlivening
Not what a man is promising for the fu
ture if intrusted with power, but what
he has done when exercising power, is the
main point And that way lies some
mighty interesting reading"
Take the case of Mr.. Roosevelt as re-
spects the tariff Why during his seven
years as President did he neglect the
tariff? Was not the issue important?
Were not all the democrats and many
republicans insisting that the Dingley
law should be revised? Mr.. Roosevelt
could not have been in ignorance as to
that.
AS matter of fact when Mr.. Roose-
welt took office the tariff was the most
important issue before the country. Mr..
Mckinley in what proved to be his last
speech had made it SO. He had declared
that the inequalities that were then
showing as the result of the extraordi-
nary growth of business under the Ding
ley law should be corrected, and gave
out a sort Of promise that he would take
up the matter at once.
When Mr.. Roosevelt assumed power he
committed himself unreservedly to the
carrying out Of the Mckinley policies;
and had he followed either the letter OF
the spirit of his deliverance his first mes
sage to Congress would have contained a
recommendation as to tariff revision.
Both his promise and the subject were
fresh. He qualified as President in Oc-
tober, and Congress assembled in De-
cember.
But not a word escaped him about the
tariff Far and away the most important
of the Mckinley policies was ignored, and
Roosevelt policies were brought forward
Several years later Mr.. Roosevelt de-
cided to make a recommendation to Con-
gress on the tariff. But no sooner was
the decision made than abandoned. He
never at any time addressed Congress on
the subject. For some reason he changed
his mind; and so the revision of the Ding
ley law, which Mr.. Mckinley had thought
should be made in the winter OF 1902,
was deferred. through Mr.. Roosevelt
inactivity, until the spring Of 1aO9-nearly
eight years-and until after Mr.. Roose-
welt had quilted office. And during every
one of those years the subject had been
growing more and more difficult.
Any amount of speculation has played
about this matter, but nothing definite
is known to the public, either as to why
Mr.. Roosevelt neglected the tariff at the
beginning of his administration, or, later,
failed to communicate with Congress
after deciding to do so. Can Mr.. La Fol-
lette solve either question? Is he advised
on either point? II SO, and his intention
is to take the public into his confidence,
the country is on the eve of both in
formation and entertainment

Aerial Warfare.
From the New York Tribune.

VIEW IOIK
Italy has the distinction, enviable or
otherwise. of being the first power to en-
gage practically in aerial warfare. It
was made known some time ago that she
was sending a number of expert and dar-
ing aviatOrs to TripOli, equipped with
aeroplanes and balloons Of the most ap-
proved pattern, and it was intimated that
in addition to scouting and observation
work these would be employed in fight
lines and camps of the Turkish forces
which are ,beleaguering the Italians. and
dropping bombs upon them. The effect
of the aerial bombardment is not re-
ported, but we may imagine it to have
been damaging and demoralizing to those
who formed its target, particularly as 1t
is not known that the Turks have any
guns suitable for returning fire from
above.

fortunes OF deep-seated cancers Is that
they are not suspected until they have

easy stages, and upon arrival VIII pitch
in to carry the state for Roosevelt. Con-
fident? The most confident man In the
country. Senator Dixon in discussing
the subject makes a few small reserva-
tons. Gov. Stubs makes none. Every
thing is SO decidedly anti-Taft. the
Kansas executive predicts that Mr.
Taft's name win not go before the Chi
cago convention.
And yet 1t would be well to remember
breathed only the Roosevelt atmosphere.
He made no investigation Of general con-
ditions He spoke only the language OF
the Roosevelt tribe. He saw, because
he wanted to see, only red. But the
Kansans will be asked to believe that
the governors deliverances are based
upon full information gathered with care
and great pains.
This sort of thing cannot be prevented.
1t inheres in the way men play all their
big games. Love, war and politics.
Each invites to finesse. The wonder IS
that old tricks last SO long. and. in their
age, remain so effective. "A remarkable
man." said q Louisiana senator to Presi-
dent Arthur, who had asked concerning
an applicant from that state for federal
Office HE would sit down on the same
hornets nest six times the same day.
There are great numbers of men OF
this sort in politics. They swallow with
ease the same old yarns, campaign after
campaign, told with the same old pur-
pose. They gobble up roorbacks as II
they loved them. A cat at the cream
saucer does not manifest moro enjoy
ment.
This business is not monopoly. IL
cannot be attacked under the provisions
of the antitrust law. The field Is open
to all, and many are the laborers there
in Competition is the life of the trade,
and trading is active in both parties.

Under the Delaware.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

A tunnel under the Delaware connecting
Philadelphia and Camden is one of the
indispensable necessities of the future, if
the progress of both communities is to be
maintained and free intercourse promoted.
The experiences of the present winter
and the increasing congestion of traffic on
the ferries have aroused our neighbors
in New Jersey to the importance of mov-
ing for the early construction of the tun-
mel which will mean SO much to them in
facilitating commerce and communica-
tons.

A Memorial to Thomas Jefferson.

FTOm the New 1Ork world.
Nowhere in the north is there an ade-
Quate memorial to Thomas Jefferson,
whose influence upon American institu-
tions far surpasses that of any other
man. More than hundred years have
elapsed since jefferson retired from the
presidency and from active public life
More than eighty-five years have elapsed
since his death. Yet Jefferson is still a
living, vital force in American govern
ment. He lives not through the force of
his personality, not through the force OF
his achievements, but through the force
Of his ideas and his ideals. He was the
great standardizer Of constitutional de-
mocracy, and his principles must per-
sist as long as men believe in a govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people.
