HAVE REAL CAUSE FOR GLOOM
Democratic Senators Likely to Be Put
In a Hole by Their Colleagues
In the House.

There is no small amount OF gloom
on the Democratic side OF the senate
as a result OF the action OF the house
caucus in prohibiting the authoriza-
tion OF any battleships this year. The
Democratic senators have awakened
to the fact that this policy is decided
ly unpopular Many OF the newspa-
pers on which they count for unvary-
ing support are heartily condemning
as short-sighted and unpatriotic the
action OF the house Democrats. The
senators believe It may be possible
for the Democrats in the house. with
their large majority. to escape roll
call on the propositlon-although there
are some Republicans who are deter
mined they shall not-but they real
ize that It Will be almost impossible
to escape a roll call in the senate. II
II proves to be impossible. the Demo
cratic senators will be confronted
with the problem Of whether II is bet
ter again to exhibit their difference
from their colleagues In the house,
thus emphasizing the unworthy parti'
san methods which are aotuating the
party In the lower body, as they did
in the case Of the Sherwood pension
bill. or whether they must incur the
criticism Of their constituents and
their newspaper supporters who dis
approve such methods

VOTERS WILL PLACE BLAME
Democratic Majority In Congress
Plainly Does Not Want Rational
Tariff Revision.

President Taft and the tariff board
have sent to congress the result OF
investigations in the cotton and wool
schedules showing valid ground for a
material reduction Of duties In both
schedules. The house has passed
wool schedule with very little regard
to the tariff boards report on that
topic. Its Democratic leaders now
give out that they will not pass any
cotton schedule until the steel, chem
ical and other schedules. which that
body has passed without any official
Information as to the cost OF produc'
ton. have been fully enacted.
b If the house desired to secure rea'
sonabie reductions OF the tariff, 1t is
thus made plain that 1t could do 30
with regard to the very important
items that furnish the clothing OF the
nation by passing schedules on wool
and cotton In accordance with the au'
thority which the Republican side is
pledged to accept But II their tarin
policy is to play politics" the course
of driving through radical cuts which
the administration cannot be ex'
pected to accept, and holding back the
schedule on which the south Is most
likely to dissent, is one that seems
quite probable to the political mind.
1t is well to have this Issue drawn
clearly. The Democracy is at present
going through the motions of tarih
slashing with no expectation Of re
suits. and absolutely rejecting oppor
tunities to secure rational revision
at this session. The administration
stands on the clearly defined platform
OF revision on the ascertained differ
ence in the cost of production at home
and abroad.

judice and injustice Of party feeling

every man and woman as in the old
days when war from an outside source
was an ever present danger, and
each has become wrapped up in his
own petty interests. As a result, the
great questions of public and nation
al welfare are lost sight Of, and Of
fices too often fall into the hands Of
the selfish and the corrupt.
For this reason ask that you be-
gin now when the country is interest
ed In the national election, to build up
the New Patriotism OF peace, to take
the place Of the old and dead Pa
triotism OF war. Teach your children
that our country Is so great that no
enemy can harm US from without but
that there are many from within that
can strange us while we sleep, and
that one of the greatest Of these s
party prejudice. Because Of this evil
we become unduly excited before
the election, and after IL we have
our days Of rejoicing or disappoint-
ment, and then settle down to our
own personal affairs until another
election comes around, when we again
become aroused by newspapers and
candidates. In the meantime, while
one has gone to his farm, and an
other to his merchandise" those
whom we have placed in position Of
trust feel that no one is interested
in their doings, and as a result they
fail TO do their duty. And whose fault
is It? 1t is the fault, entirely, OF
Spasmodic Patriotism, the patriotism
of election day and party rally. in
stead of the patriotism of 365 days
OF watchfulness and interest in the
questions Of public good.
Let the teachers, then, of Ken
lucky. call upon the fighting blood of
our boys and girls to listen to the
new battle call, the call to a quiet,
intelligent, thoughtful loyalty at all
times not merely to our nation, but
rather to the social. political, indus
trial. educational. spiritual institu-
tions of Our country.
Let us lead them to see in every
law that needs enforcing and is not,
challenge to arms, in every bad
road, delapidated school, poor farm,
unfaithful officer, closed or lifeless
church, call to service as noble,
and more pressing than that call as
ISOLATED with the beat of the drum
and the tramp OF armies.
These institutions are the cells
Of our national life, and as one by
one they die or become inefficient,
slowly but surely death or ineffici-
ency is creeping over our land.
Let us make, then, of every school
ia Kentucky, at this time especially,
when national affairs are attract
ing more or less the attention Of
every one, a center from which will
spread the spirit OF the New Patriot
ism of unspasmodic loyalty to the in
0titutions within our country, rather
than to any imaginary foe which can
never reach us so long as these
units of our life are kept strong
and pure.
