economy make his lot meager, cut
off social life and deprive him OF OBJ

and culture To feed the rest of the

been partially responsible for the
migration from the farm to the city.

or clear thinking that there is moth
ing to do except to hope for the
speedy coming of an era of states
manship. Mr.. Taft has repeatedly
condemned the present wool SEIZED
ule, although he himself signed the
bill which made it a law. When
both houses of Congress, under di-
rect mandate of the people given in
the election Of 1910, have now pro-
ceeded in two successive years to
pass bills revising the wool SEIZED
ule,, Mr.. Taft obstructs needed re-
form by undertaking to say that in
his opinion the exact percentage Of
reduction should be slightly differ
ent, These are matters that Con-
gress has had incomparably better
opportunity to study than the chief
executive could possibly have had.
If he had meant to go into the de-
tails of tariff revision, he should
have done his work when he had
the opportunity when ha
called the session, in 1909, that gave
us the Payne-Aldrich law The ex-
cuses that Mr.. Taft gives for vetoe-
ing tariff-revision bills are of no par
ticular consequence. The important
thing is that he personally has been

GOOD WORK BY THE HOUSE.

The work of the Democratic
House has been fa1 from perfect.
yet it has been fully as good as
could have been expected. It's tariff
work in the extra session, early in
1911, has stood the test of public
discussion to a remarkable extent.
1t does not seem to us an exaggera-
ton to say that, without regard to
party, there was general approval of
the Underwood bills. When those
measures, with some compromises
and changes, were accepted by the.
Senate, through the cooperation Of
the Progressive Republicans, there
was more general acquiescence
and approval throughout the coun-
try than has been accorded to any
tariff legislation since the Civil War
President Taft's vetoes of those
measures last year were not sus-
tanned by public opinion. His action
again last month in vetoeing tariff
bills was not unexpected, inasmuch
as it had been practically announced
in advance that he would obstruct
the path of any tariff bills that could
be criticised from his argumentattve
standpoint. His position is one Of
dialectics rather than one based up
on public policy or upon facts. It
should De remembered that bills re-
lating to taxation and the public
revenue that have been carefully
considered, and adopted by substan-
tial majorities in both houses of
Congress, are not in the nature Of
measures that an executive officer,
even under our system, is expected
to nullify.
But the relation between the ex-
ecutive and law-making branches of
the government has now become so
little matter of right reasoning
