1t is to be hoped that every Amer

protected by the tariff VIII read the
address Of M Underwood. Demo-
critic leader of the house OF repre-
sentatives, in which he sets forth as

1t is true, as Underwood says, that
the tariff taxes he describes are i'm
posed on articles such as he describes
-woolen clothing, shoes. the tin pail,
window pane, carpet, etc, but he is
wholly and deliberately wrong and
misleading when hes says that the du-

Mr.. Underwood statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed that style
OF talk too muddy and cobwebbed for

is again dragged OUT of the discard
proves how hard pushed the free

FAIRNESS TOWARD NEGROES
Taft's Attorney General Stands fol
the "Square Deal"

Attorney General Wickersham re-
fleets the broad American spirit of
himself and his chief, President Taft,
IN his splendid fight against the
dropping from membership in the
American. Bar Association OF his able
colored assistant. William II. Lewis.
1t Is needless to say that every sup
porter Of Woodrow Wilson and every
sympathizer with Theodore Roosevelt
in his refusal to recognize the citi-
zsnshp of the southern Negro. is op-
posed to Mr. Wickersham in his bat
tie for equal rights and fair treatment
for coiorrd- Americans i2- i5 .
:: The action of the executive COM
,mittee Of the Bar association in revok-
ing the election of three colored mem
bers. gentlemen of spoeless profess
siopal standing and. excellent personal
character, by their local committees,
was outrageousiy. cruelty unjust and
ought to be repudiated by every rep
utable lawyer in the United States.
1t was concession to that southern
Democratic prejudice which seeks to
crush the spirit OF manly aspiration
m the negro's. breast and to tolerate
him only as laborer on the planta-
tons and1for the households where
his ANCESTORS were slaves. 1t amounts
to an attempt to. nullify the consti-
futon Of the United States, as
amended after the rebellion, by men
whose sacred obligation and welcome
duty it should be to support that in
strument in their every act as lawyers
lrd as citizens, -aE .-l us.
In their resolute backing OF Assist
ant Attorney General Lewis against
the assaults of rank Bourbonism and
racial prejudice, President TAFT and
his attorney general have the god
speed Of every American who believes
in the principles. for which Lincoln
died, and who is determined that the
sacrifices which the nation offered up
on the altar of freedom and equal
rights for all shall not have been
made in vain. = = =

WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL

The following is taken from
an address delivered by Profes-
sor Woodrow Wilson before the
tariff board in 1882. showing his
view then on the question Of the
tariff and the distinct announce
ment or his position as a free
trader, opposed to all tariffs ex--
cept merely Tor the purpose OF
raising revenue: ~
But the danger OF imposing
, protective duties is that when
the policy is ONCE embarked
Upon it cannot be easily receded
from. Protection. is nothing
more than "a bounty, and when
we offer bounties to manufac-
turers they will enter into m
dustriesE and build up interests
and when at later day we seek
to overthrow this protective tar
if we must hurt somebody, and
6 OF course there is objection.
They will say: Thousands of
men viii be thrown out Of em-
ployment and hundreds of peo-
pie will lose their capital This
seems very plausible; but l
maintain that manufacturers are
made better manufacturers
whenever they are thrown upon
their own resources and left to
the natural competition of
trade"
