NO matter how perfect is the me-

"how strict are the rules and regula-

get away from the fact that we have
always TO depend on the brain of one
man. It is the engineer in the cab
WHY? Is there no such thing as an
automatic device to throw ON the brakes
Of train that runs by II danger signal,
and is no such device possible? There Is
one i'm the New York subway, and while

DEARLY BOUGHT "CHEAPNESS."
The assumption of the Democratic
platform that the country would be sig
nally benefited by reducing tariff duties
and thus lowering the prices of manu-
featured articleS-especially Of articles
classed as neceSsaries Of life-does not
find favor with all Democrats. There
are some Democrats intelligent enough
TO see that the demand for cheap neces-
saries of life. if yielded to all along the
line, must result in a general lowering Of
the standard Of living "The New Or.

plenty are to he guaranteed merely by

The advocates OF this change do not
seem 10 realize that free trade will open
the country 70 all foreign products and
close our own factories and destroy
many important industries. and by fore

the pauper labor of Europe and Asia

employment.
That is surprising language TO find in
q leading Democratic newspaper in a
state which will undoubtedly indorse the
Democratic platform next November
Yet there is reason in il. for at least a
portion of the people Of Louisiana
realize that the trifling benefit which
might come to them through the free

IMPORTANCE or THE STATE
TICKET.

nv mn
The nomination of state ticket in
New York should be used as the nOml-
nation of Il state ticket in Ohio has just
been used. to unity the Republican party.
Judge Dillon, the Ohio candidate for
Governor. has not been connected with
either faction in his party and Is just
as acceptable TO the Roosevelt as to the
Taft men in Ohio His nomination put
quietus on the third party movement
as a serious possibility in that state. y
similar result is possible here. y blun-
der would arouse dissatisfaction with
the operation Of party machinery ana
might give vitality TO the third party
movement. if there is one.
Public sentiment is strongly against
the present Democratic administration,
so strongly that if the Republican party
should he united and if the issue were
simple state issue there would be little
doubt of Republican success. There
should be a determined effort To make
the most of the present opportunity.
With the feeling that exists against
party machines the situation is critical
and must he handled with discretion IT
is to he hoped that ut the coming state
primaries some candidate for the GOV
ernorShip nomination Will show marked
strength and develop Il capacity TO hold
his party together. In that case the
duty of the delegates to the convention
will he simple.
