The Wireless and the Wreck.

an important and most useful part in
lessening the extent of the disaster. A
far greater loss Of life would probably
have occurred had it not been foy the
promptness with which ships went to the
rescue upon the flashing OF the ''S. o. s.
call through the night. But again the
wireless worked in a peculiar manner
to prevent the obtaining of corSect In

announcement that the ship had been
struck and was In danger appeals were
made to every possible source Of infor-
nation for tidings Of individuals on

shore for hours flashed messages in Q
stream that has probably never been
equaled in intensity Of vibration. One
result was that for time there was al

Roosevelt and the Tariff.

On the stump in Oregon Mr.. La
Toilette Is telling the people some
thing about Mr.. Roosevelts tariff rec
ord-or rather about his want OF q
record 1t Is a good subject. and the
Wisconsin senator should develop 1t
thoroughly.
The republican party owes much Of
it's present embarrassment as to the
tariff to Mr.. Roosevelt. Had he ad-
dressed himself to revision when he
entered the White House the Dingley
law would at that time have given
place to one better suited to the
changed conditions. and the seven
years OF agitation between 1901 and
1908 would have been avoided.
And there were two reasons why Mr..
Roosevelt should have moved, and
moved promptly: Cd Mr.. Mckinley, in
what proved to be his last public ut
terance. had pointed the way, and (2)
his successor. upon taking once, had
pledged himself to the carrying out OF
the Mckinley policies.
But he disregarded both Mr.. McKin-
ley's recommendation and his own
pledge. He did nothing with the tariff
He let it go hang. Men waited and
wondered, but no word passed from
the White House to Congress about re-
vising schedules which having been
prepared to meet conditions Of extreme
business depression were out Of touch
now with conditions Of a restored
prosperity. He addressed himself to
other matters Of his own devisement,
and insisted upon them with SO much
strenuosity and proclamation the tar
iii was forced to the rear and out Of
sight. -,
This seven years delay made tariff
revision when it was at last taken up a
very difncult task. What might have
been accomplished with no great trou-
BILE at the time Mr.. Roosevelt became
the republican leader had become en-
tangled with q thousand dificulties
when the leadership passed to Mr..
Taft. But the task had to be per-
formed. and Mr.. Taft, In obedience to
his pledge and the party's. promptly
entered upon 1t when he became
President. His first act was to call
Congress together In extra session and
recommend new tariff schedules to At
the new times.
Part OF the Roosevelt criticism Of
Mr.. Taft Is that in the matter Of the
Payne law he was guided tso much by
Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Cannon, the one
the republican leader OF the Senate, the
other the Speaker Of the House. II is
asserted that he should have ignored
their advice, taken the business into
his own hands. and forced schedules OF
his own upon Congress.
Do such reproach and condemna-
ton come with grace or propriety
from Mr.. Roosevelt, or his friends
Who Influenced him to become and
remain a standpatter in the White
House? With whom did he confer on
the tariff question while the country
waited for action? He has never said,
but opinion in this town had and has
1T that Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Cannon
were the men, and that their advice in
fiuenced his course. II the Taft tar
liz kettle is off-color, Is 1t exactly the
province OF the Roosevelt pot to Ia
