Unassalied Facts.

The manufacturers OF the suits and
oyercoats and women's wear goods
want the reduced tariff in many in
stances because 1t means a reduced
price for cloth. but the reduction In
the price of cloth to the manufacture
Ing clothier does not mean lower
prices for equal quality suits by any
means. It means greater profit to the
makers Of the suits and the retailers.
The facts regarding the cost of wool
and the cost and profit to the manu-
facturer Of the cloth are unassail-
able. The public is not held up by
either Of the above factors. 1t must

The Many-Slded Wilson.

Why did Harper's love Wilson 30!
That is a publication avowedly de-
voted to the oid-time theories OF
government And Woodrow Wilson
was its presidential choice Yet he
is making a campaign for the presi-
dency on the progressive platform,
including the initiative, referendum
and all the filings. How can the
affinity Of Harper's for such a man
be explained?
The suspicion could not be remote
that Editor Harvey felt that Mr. VIII
son would become conservative II
elected president That has often
happened before to men suddenly
charged with authority. The outs"
are proverbially radical, and the
'ins," from Jefferson down. strange
ly cautious. Harper's devotion has
looked like discounttng such a rever-
sion of Wilson's attitude to his orig
inal position.
But does the Democratic party, in
the now ascendant radicalism, pur-
pose to elect a man whose relapse
from liberalism could be thus clearly
anticipated? These questions the
break between the governor and dis
coverer Harvey naturally suggests.
Their answer will afford the most in
teresting developments OF the coming
months.

DEMOCRATS VS.. TARIFF BOARD
oarty Will Not Have the Approval of
the Nation In Its Action on
important Matters.

The Democratic house of represen
tatlVes will not gain in popular es
TEEN by killing the tariff board. The
threat to discontinue appropriations
Tor the work of the experts seems to
be inspired by political motives and q
desire to embarrass Mr.. Taft
Gathering, collocating and properly
presenting vital data Is the work that
the board is called upon to perform.
Such work cannot be done hastily.
Careful investigation Is necessary. and
the board itself knows when it Is
ready to report. 1t is not to be be-
ileVed that the board Is willfully de-
laying its report on the iron and steel
tariff or on any Of the other work It
has undertaken.
Because the report is not imme-
dfately forthcoming the house Demo
Gratis profess to suspect there is some
KIND or collision between the board
and the president. They seem to fear
tnat there is plot to prevent tariff
revision during the present session.
The proposed abolition of the board
can be considered merely as threat
OF punishment.
congress Is, of course, in no sense
bound to follow data presented by the
board. The reports are not even In
the form of recommendations All that
President Taft demands Is that the
reports of the board be given con.
sideration, inasmuch as they. repre-
sent the best thought on exceedingly
difficult problems.
Talk of doing away with the board
Is small politics. The wisest Iegisla.
tors should welcome the assistance of
men who are by specialized training
better qualified to handle the intrica-
cies of the situation.
Two alternatives are possible It is
to be hoped that the board, without
undue haste, may be able to present
a report, or at least some preliminary
data, during the present session of
congress. The second alternative
would be for congress to enact some
kind of revision prior to the boards
report and in spite of President
Taft's threatened veto. More thor.
ough revision might come later.
The best course for the house ma,
1ority is to urge that the report be
made as speedily as possible and to
abandon thought Of punishment If the
request is not complied with. Even ,,
from purely political standpoint
their position would be unassailable
II they confined themselves to this
method of procedure.
