Modern Floods.

Ii is not uncommon to hear the remark
that violent storms are more frequent
nowadays than in the past, and the oc-
casional disasters like that reported from
western Pennsylvania and the panhandle
OF West Virginia, where many lives have
been lost in floods. seem to strengthen
the assertion. In point of fact storms Of
that character are probably no more fire.
quent than heretofore, although their re-
suits may be more destructive. The
truth Is that our national thriftlessness
has invited these -misfortunes and our
habits Of wastefulness are to blame for
many disastrous weather visitations
rather than changes in the climate. The
denudins of the hills has undoubtedly
contributed to the flood record in this
country Immense volumes of water are
poured down the slopes into the smaller
streams and the rivers. and as a result
the channels are quickly flooded and are
unable to carry of the flow. This causes
the swift risings OF the waters in hilly
regions that contribute to the record of
catastrophes. In all likelihood the un-
scientific cutting of trees on the hillsides
Of the region just devastated by storms
is accountable for the greater part Of
the loss. All through that part Of the
country the hills have been stripped bare
Of trees. Over many square miles stand
nothing but the blackened stumps of
burned trees, the results of slovenly for
esting years ago accompanied by the
making of immense quantities Of in
fammable debris- There In no longer any

which itself may be go divided politically
as to lead to a confusing condition in the
state. The tickets of material Importance
are those of the republicans. the progress
sives and the democrats. the prohibition
lists and socialists being negligible unless
it should prove that they. with fairly
equal division between the other parties,
hold the balance of rower. The state
has been canvassed as never before in
recent years, Col. Roosevelt having en-
tered ii during the last week OF the
campaign with series of characteristic
speeches that have drawn large audi
ences and hAve been followed with close
attention II he has succeeded in per-
suad.ng 1900 or 10000 of the republi-
cans of the state to desert their long
held allegiance and follow the fortunes
of the new party he will probably have
succeeded in demonstrating at least a
destructive power that will cause deep
impression upon the country at large
This will have the effect of bringing the
republican vote below the majority point
On the other hand il the total of the
progressive vote is below Io,ee1 and the
democrats do not gain over their 19Us
vote Of approximately 1900. the repub-
licans will carry the state by a very
narrow majority. The polling of less than
10000 progressive votes in the state Will
probably be regarded as defeat for the
third term movement, even though this
proportion Of defections from the regu-
lar republican strength. carried through
the states normally rated as republican
would prove in November exceedingly
costly to the national ticket and possibly
fatal. :

England and the Canal Issue.

There Is something rather mysterious
about the 'official announcement" made
IN London last night to the effect that the
British government would make formal
demand upon the United States for arbi-
tration of the British claim that the
Panama canal bill recently passed by
Congress violates the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. For Immediately comes q COM
plete disavowal In terms which indicate
that the British government has not de-
cided upon its course of action and for
mally declares that any announcement OF
the kind Is premature. Although no seri-
Gus embarrassment to the United States
IS involved in a possible demand for the
submission Of the question to arbitration,
II Is gratifying to find that England is not
disposed TO precipitate the issue acutely
at this juncture by insisting on a refer
ence to The Hague. The possibilities OF
the matter have been thoroughly dis
cussed in the course of the debate on the
canal bill in Congress. and the grounds OF
American objection to a submission OF
this question to International arbitra-
ment are well defined. IL Is known, for
example, that this country may with en-
tire propriety and unanswerable force
take the position that il cannot with JUS
tice to its own interests and welfare sub
init an issue of this character to a court
composed of representatives of nations
that are of necessity parties of interest II
this question. In practically all interra-
ional disputes the issues lie strictly be-
tween two parties, leaving a wide field of
possible arbtrators without any concern
in the decision. In the canal tolls case.
however. virtually all the world il In op-
position to the United States. and there
would be no violation of the principle OF
International arbitration on our part in
refusing to submit this question to The
Hague We can do so and still stand in
good faith as sincere advocates of the
doctrine of pacific adjustment of issues
between nations The State Department
points out three separate and distinct
lines of action which are open to the
British government in dealing with the
problem raised by the passage of the
canal bill. and 1t may he that the dis
covery of two modes of procedure which
in point of possible effectiveness precedes
an appeal TO The Hague has Influenced
the authorities in London in denying the
premature announcement of a decision
TO bring the matter now before the inter-
national court.

Roosevelt and the Tariff.

Said Mr. Roosevelt at Hartford yester-
day: This talk OF the tariff is simply
red herring across trail to distract the
attention of the people from the real
needs of the situation" Very like Mr.
Roosevelt.

is a ason More than any other man.
he is responsible for the present tariff
embarrassments. Had he kept his prom
ise when he became President. tariff re-
vision would have been effected at the
session of Congress which began in De-
cember 1901, at a time when the in
equaliIies Of the Dingley law could have
been easily handled
Mr.. Mckinley had had the thing In
mind. and in what proved to be his last
speech had indicated the line to be taken.
Congress was republican in both branches,
and republican sentiment was still strong
for protection. He had only to make his
recommendations in his first message to
Congress. calling attention. as Mr.. Nc
Kinley had done at Buffalo. to the diff
ference between the conditions of 1897.
when the Dingley law was enacted. and
the existing conditions. Revision would
have followed.
But Mr.. Roosevelt broke his promise
q trick Of his-and addressed himself to
other subjects. He let the tariff go hang.
AS result. the inequalities of the Ding
ley law-which had grown out of the
laws extraordinary success-increased in
size and in numbers. until when nine
years later they were forced upon the
party for action. the action taken proved
unsatisfactory to the country, and a
democratic House was the expression Of
the country's feelings. Mr.. Clark owes
his place as Speaker indirectly to Mr..
Roosevelt.
Naturally, therefore, MIR. Roosevelt does
not want to hear SO much. II anything.
about the tariff. and is himself drawing
. red herring across the trail.
The odor he Is distributing is that of
mingled autocracy and socialism. He
wants everything put into commission.
with headquarters in Washington. and
himself in charge Of headquarters. A
commission for the trusts. Another for
the insurance companies. Another for the
tariff. Commissions galore, all under Mr..
Roosevelt's direction, and all reporting
to him.
This would upset the accepted and es-
tablished order OF things, and bring in.
first a short period Of autocracy. with
Mr.. Roosevelt as autocrat. and then So
cialism and a general division Of things
as an attempted remedy for that. After
Mr.. Roosevelt We might have Mr. Debs
or Mr.. Berger. or somebody else COM
mitted to European unrest transplanted
to American soil.

The Baltimore Platform.

News has reached the east that many
Bryanites in the west are of opinion
that Mr.. Wilson. by ignoring, has re-
jected the Baltimore platform, and
they are murmuring. His speech of
acceptance. it is said, disappointed
them in the treatment of both the
tariff and the trusts. They had eN-
pected something sharper and more di-
rect on the abuses of protection and
the capers of the great captains of in
dustry.
These men will have to wait until
Mr.. Bryan himself speaks. He is soon
to take the stump for Mr.. Wilson, and
questions in dispute between the two
parties.
Mr. Bryan is the author of the Bal
timore platform. He is likewise the
author of the Baltimore ticket. His
enemies in the convention started in
to put him down, but in the end he
put them down, and sat on them. 1t
was a most complete performance of
it's kind, and elected great applause, in
the convention and out
There was no squarrel in the con-
vention over the platform. BY the
time that feature Of the proceedings
was reached the enemies of Mr.. Bryan
were SO subdued nearly everything he
proposed was accepted without chal-
lenge. They had met him, and were
his.
III, therefore anybody understands the
Baltimore platform Mr.. Bryan Is the
man. He had practically a free hand
in drafting It, AS a matter of form
there was a platform committee. but as
a matter of fact Mr. Bryan was 1t.
All the other members bowed down
before him; and when its time came
the convention did the same thing.
But the western Bryanites should re-
member that, advanced and aggressive
as their leader is in his writings and
stump speeches, he has shown himself
able to trim when in action. He had
subscribed to the Cleveland platform
Of 1892 declaring against protection
and pledging a tariff for revenue only.
and yet as member of the House he
subsequently, helped draw the Wilson
tariff bill. which was stuffed with pro-
lection. The party's campaign prom
ises did not disturb him bit when the
time came for legislative fulfillment.
He did not urge their redemption. or
condemn his associates in the House
who also were showing elastic party
conscience. AS legislator he became
on the tariff question what Mr.. Roose-
Welt has described as practical
man."
Mr.. Bryan has complimented in gen.
eral terms Mr.. Wilson's letter Of ac-
ceptance, but his own explanation Of
things will be none the less interest
