A Southern Protectionist.

The Birmingham, Ala. L dyer. replying
to some observations of The Star on the
subject Of Gov. Marshalrs tariff speeches
in Maine, says:
1.-THE democrats do not claim that a
protective tariff is harmful. The
democratic party will give a square deal
when intrusted with power next year.
They will not abolish the tariff, but they
will surely rectify it, and eliminate its
robber features.
Is Henry Watterson a democrat? Is
William j. Bryan? Is Woodrow Wilson?
All assert that protective tariff is harm
full. and that the law long in operation in
the United States has harmed the coun-
try. Ask them.
Were John T. Morgan. John G. Carlisle
William r. Morrison, Roger Q. Mills, Will
liam l.. Wilson and Grover Cleveland
democrats? All held that a protective
tariff was harmful, and all exerted them
selves while in Office here In Washington
to put the protective tariff law on the
toboggan. They did not hope or try to
send 1t to limbo on one revision. but they
had for object in what they did the ulti-
mate overthrow Of the whole protection
principle.
The Ledger Is published in Mr. Under
woods home city. Presumably it is one
Of his supporters. Does 1t speak for him
In this matter? If he leads the next
House and reports measure or measures
revising the Payne law. will he proceed
upon the proposition that protective
tariff Is not harmful: that the Payne law
simply needs readjustment ON protection
lines? Is that as far as he will ask the
next Congress to go?
And what, in the Ledger's opinion are
the "robber features" of the Payne law?
One mans meat is another mans poison
There were democrats last year who in
sisted that the sugar tax was a .'robber
feature and should be eliminated" Mr..
Underwood agreed with them, and passed
a bill thrangh the House putting sugar
on the free list But the robbers

The Root of the Evil.

In the course Of the aldermanic inquiry
into New York police affairs some inter-
esting testimony is being given. For
an instance. yesterday Commissioner
Waldo testified that he had appointed
men to the force who We're known to
have records as criminals, ranging all the
way from disorderiy conduct to larceny.
Practically every one of these men had
committed perjuiy in making his appli-
cation for appointment, and was. there
fore. guilty of double crime. 1t was at
one time discovered by an officer of the
force whose work 1t was to investigate
the records OF men certified by the civil
service commission that L. per cent OF
this number had been found to be law
breakers OF some degree. and all Of these
We're reported back to the civil service
commission by the police commissioner.
but upon being recertified were appointed
IN. numerical order. Commissioner Waldo
declared that he had no time to investi-
gate further and believed that the surest
way to prevent graft in the matter Of
strict sequence without reference to their
court records. OF course, this puts the
matter in a way up to the civil service
police commissioner from blame for in
sisting upon appointing men against
whom there were records OF criminality
when other men We're available ON the
lists. The whole thing was a characters
tic Tammany game A Tammany civil
service commission examined the men
and certified them, regardless of their
moral records. A Tammany police COM
missioner went through the farce of pro-
visionally rejecting them on this ground
and then appointing them when their
names had been sent back to him. And
in the face of this disclosure the police
commissioner had the nerve to declare
that the only thing the matter with the
police force of New York was public
clamor. If the public would let the de-
partment alone and not interfere there
would be nothing TO complain about 1t
would begin To appear really that II has
been the public that has been taking
money from gambling houses and other
evil resorts, and that 1t was the public
that arranged the assassination of Her
man Rosenthal. Verify the public Is a
creature Of monstrous iniquity.

Mr.. Roosevelt and Congress.

Mr.. Roosevelt is preparing to play an
other trick on and with the tariff ques-
ton 1t is a familiar story how he side
tracked 1t eleven years ago when he en-
tered the White House, and kept it on the
siding during his whole service as Presi-
dent. He had promised to give it atten-
ton along with Mr. Mckinley's other
policies, but broke his promise. and left
office without having once asked of Con-
gress a revision of the Dingley law.
Observe his present game. He wants,
or says he wants, the Payne law revised,
to the extent at least of putting more
money into the pay envelopes of labor
but is silent as to details of how that may
be done He is likewise silent as to
when the revision should be begun,
His purpose as to the next Congress in
case of his election was announced in
Arizona yesterday. He will call that body
together in extra session, but to do what?
Revise the tariff? No. ITO enact into
laws the social and industrial planks of
the new party's platform
What Mr.. Roosevelt has in mind re-
lates to the establishment of what he
calls social Justice He wants the
courts regulated, wage scales made d
matter of law. trusts taken into partner
ship by the government, with George ".
Perkins representing the trusts and him.
self the government. and other problems
pointing to state socialism considered.
Now where would the tariff come in?
What time would there De for revision OF
the Payne Law satisfactorily with all these
other question put ahead of it?
And then consider the complexion OF the
next Congress. Present appearances in
dictate that it will be democratic-that the
House at least will be controlled by that
party. A change in public sentiment might
give 1t to the republicans. But it is i'm
possible to figure progressive control in
any circumstances.
So with Mr.. Roosevelt in the White
House clartloring for state socialism, and
Congress on Capitol Hill deaf to his APP
peais what should we have but an angry
contest between President and Congress,
continuing at least two years, and may be
longer? If this government is to be re-
cast In the form that Mr.. Roosevelt has in
view and is pressing. time will be factor
even for as strong a man as he.
The tariff is a by-product in Mr.. Roose-
velts craftsmanship. He knows next to
nothing about the subject, and is now, as
in 1901, more bent on other things than on
the inequalities Of customs taxes produced
by years of unexampled prosperity.

principally Louisiana ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ed violently, and asserted that the sugar
tax was a legitimate revenue tax. and,
moreover that its elimination would
bankrupt the people of Louisiana. And
they were right.
Mr.. Bryan thinks that metal sched-
ule of the Payne law is full of robbery
and should be cut to the bone, SO to say.
He thought at one time that Mr.. Under
wood, because of his Alabama interests
and environment, was a little tender
toward that schedule. Does the Ledger
support Mr.. Bryan? Or is it as human
as to iron and steel and their products
as the Louisiana democrats are as TO
sugar?
The tariff as a general proposition is
national In it's adjustment it is local.
When is the foundation for that monu-
ment to Gen. Hancock to be laid, and
who are subscribing to it? - is a most
worthy project.

Happy Days.

Oh. happy was the childhood hour
When Father paid the bills
And left us free to grasp the flower
That blossomed on the hills!
Those were the days in which we took
No thought of taxes high,
Nor feared the CRATER or the crook
Who might be drawing nigh.
Three meals per day were always there;
So was the dwelling place.
We thought that Fathers greatest care
Was simply TO say grace.
And so we wandered light and free,
Without a trace of woe,
Each had no thoughts save those of glee.
Unless he stubbed his toe.
Now greater wisdom bids us pause
And grateful memory thrills.
We were SO happy then because
Dear Father paid the bills

When He Gets His Third Term.

From the New York World.
Great things are in store for Wash
ington, d. c., when the colonel gets his
third term. He promises to call an extra
session Of Congress at once to trans
late into deeds,' so far the District
Of Columbia is concerned, the words of
the progressive platform that relate to
social justice" This means that the
humanitles will be applied to the gov
ornamental departments. Women will have
minimum wage. Child labor in the
red-tape mills will be abolished. With
national insurance against old age, acct
dent, illness, spring fever and loss of
jobs, he will cause federal employees to
forget that they work for living. The
pay roll will be made to look like a
United States bond with coupons to be
had for the cutting. If factory hands
outside the District can be made to see
the beauties Of economic justice at the
seat of government, they will be certain
to want some Of 1t themselves.

Judge James w. Locke, of the United
States district-eourt, has granted to J.
]. Abbott, convicted of embezzlement,
a new trial, which is to be heard at
the next term of the court held in
Tampa. Abbott is the man who, as a
mail messenger on train of the
Tampa Northern Railroad, was con-
victed on March of this year of rob-
bling a mail sack of $4,000 in cur
rency on March %, 1911. Reasons for
granting the new trial are set forth
by Judge Locke as additional affi-
davits that have been furnished to
him by counsel for Abbott that would
go to show grounds for reasonable
doubt of guilt.
The affidavits furnished to Judge
Locke contain an alleged confession
from one Henry III. Horace that he is
the man who stole the money from the
mail pouch. Horace is the man who
was the chief witness against Abbott
at the trial, and who alleged that he
dug up the money from the hollow of
tree in the rear of the premises oc-
cupied by Abbott, asserting that he
found this money while on a hunting
trip.-Tampa Tribune.
