A PARTNERSHIP.

Important as platforms are there is
one declaration of principles in each
candidates campaign which over
shadows them That is the keynote
speech, the candidates speech of ac-
ceptance, for no party ever made a
platform that might not be interpret
ed in different ways by different peo-
pie, and the people should know what
Z the party leaders plan to do with the
pledges their parties have given.
For that reason, then, it behooves the
people to interpret the Wilson candi-
dacy by what Wilson yesterday said.
And the more is this necessary be-
cause Wilson is a man untried. We
all know what Mr.. Taft will do by what
Mr.. Taft has done. We all know
enough to interpret Roosevelt's spec
ific of promise by the colonels rec
asked to take man whose record is
record of theory; who two years ago
was a political unknown.
After declaring that representative
of good faith and morals" Mr.. Viii
son asks: "How does the present TAR
if look in the light of it? | say moth
ing for the moment of the policy of
protection, conceived and carried out
as a disinterested statesman might
conceive it. Our own clear conviction
as democrats is, that in the last analy-
sis the only safe and legitimate object
of tariff duties, as of taxes of every
other kind, is to raise revenue for the
support of the government; but that
is not my present point. We denounce
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act, etc"
There is no use repeating the rest
of it. The governor with all his |
scholarly attainments has added no
new thought to the discussion OF the
democratic doctrine of tariff for rev.
enue only, and put the issue squarely
up to the voters of the nation.
Elect me-" he says in effect, and
take your chances, you manufacturer,
you miner, you wool grower, you farm

labor in foreign countries, with cheap

Beautiful theory! Lovely promises
He speaks of a business partnership
of the government with the people

Women Won't Wear Skirts.

MOMBASA, East Africa, Aug. s.
The local Portuguese governor of In
hambane has been forced to reseind
his recent order that the native wam-
en- of that section wear skirts. The
edict aroused tremendous opposition
among the women of the surrounding
country, who bring eggs and vegeta-
bles into the village for sale. They
declared their intention of boycOtting
the town unless the governor should
withdraw the decree. Many Of the
townsmen also announced that they
would move to another community
where skirts are regarded as super
fluous as well as unnecessary. I'm
pressed by the unexpected volume of
adverse opinion the governor surrend-
cred.
