The tariff bills passed by the last
democratic congress furnish very little
to so by in guessing what the coming
congress will be in the way Of tan #
legislation. These bills were not pass
cd TO become laws, but were political
bills, pure and simple, designed to put
the President in hole, and u make
campaign capital. They have served
their purpose admirably and now they
will not be considered in the coming
months. We look for a moderate re-
vision Of the tariff downward. but with
plenty Of protection for any interest t,
which Mcssrs. Underwood md CLARK
are friendly, and that is likely TO be
quite wide and cover most OF those
that need protection. In fact, we 5x-
pect the democrats are going to find
less trouble IN satisfying the country
IN their tariff legislation than with
their attempts to control the trusts
and deal with other questions Of Il
similar nature.

1t seems to lis that opportunity
comes 70 the democratic party in stat.
and nation. They are in power. In
the state the legislature should at
once re-distrlct this state, and cut il
into four congressional districts, rs
nearly fair as can be done. 1t Is 10 be
expected that a democrats legislature
will try to make them aII democratic.
II also would seem to l.s TINT rrdi,triet-
ing the legislative districts could be
improved upon. Each county should
have enc representative, the larger
ones more 10 cquailar differences in
population. 4 thorough revision Of the
election laws should come. Cut ouL
half the red tape, cut down the OK
pcnse and improve them. Registra-
tlon costs big sum and is no account
for towns under 2,SJ population. The
ballot box IN use costs about gg5DU
twice as much as it should, and Il tin
box that could be built for two dollars
at the outside that would answer every
purpose just as well. Let us hope that
Just a little common, everyday business
sense will be shown by our legislators
in the days to come.

Congress will be in session next week
and President Taft will deliver his
fourth and last message to them.
Next comes the curtain.
The Raymer enterprise., 1912-11-28

The speeches that President Taft
has made since election are meeting
with very hearty approval from those
those who could see no good in what he
said during the campaign. Are we to
conclude that the change is in Mr..
Taft or in his critics. At any rate, the
reading is more pleasant.

Again comes the talk of six year
term for president with 4 limit Of one
term. We remember some similar talk
twenty years ago, but some way Of re-
ducing the length OF the term, rather
than prolonging it. would have Lccn
noe popular for time. However,
there would be many advantages to
less frequent elections, but we question
whether they outweigh the old advan:-

SOUTHPORT

Southport, Aug. 7.-All or nearly all Southport that could get away stroll cd down to the soldiers camp on Mill Hill yesterday afternoon or evening to take a peek at the life of the reg ular army The soldier boys had a good portion of the afternoon to them selves while the evening was theirs until the call to quarters. Visitors had the freedom of the camp and could go where they pleased observ- ing the camp life of Uncle Sam's lads. The officers and priyates were most obiiging and explained the various in- struments for telegraphing, telephon- ing and signaling. Many people who visited the camp expected to be halt ed by the guards and kept outside, the camp fences, but such was not the case. There were guards on duty but were there only to watch over the horses and other things that make uI the camp outfit.
