PRESIDENT AND THE VETO
Taft's Wholly Unnecessary Defense
of the Function Which He Has
So Misused.

Mr.. Taft at Columbus, o., under
took to convince an audience that the
veto is a good thing. As If it had
ever been questioned! The president
at times seems afflicted with literal
myopia.
Mr.. Taft has vetoed every measure
calculated to bring relief to the peo-
pie from excessive living costs. The
wool bill, the cotton and steel bills,
the meat bill, the farmers free list
bill, all were killed by Taft's veto. He
has perpetuated the plundering Of the
people. And his defense is an AGA,
demic discussion of a presidential
function constitutionally bestowed,
To be sure, those bills came from a
Democratic house. But it was to that
same Democratic house Mr.. Taft's
reciprocity measure was committed.
The Democratic house might. in ef-
feet, have vetoed the presidents bill.
But it didn't. 1t thought that the bill
would serve the peoples welfare.
The Democratic house forgot politics
and undertook the public service. The,
president didn't.
President Taft might have vetoed
well. Had he vetoed the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill he would have been a
maker Of history. Great opportunity
has been his. The qualities of head
and heart that make for greatness are
not his.
He has vetoed his own succession.

McHare Now Among the "8osses."

WCVdT9 INOW Anon9 tHe oosSeS'
Ormsby McHarg, one of the mana
gers of the late Roosevelt campaign,
has announced that he will support
Mr.. Taft. He says:
Il supported Colonel Roosevelt as
a Republican, having no notion at
that time that he was anything else.
l was bitterly disappointed to find
later what his real intentions were. I
am under no obligations to him or any
body else, however, to get out of the
Republican party, and do not intend to
do 30. . I believe there is alb
solutely no future for the new third
party beyond Colonel Roosevelt. II
the new party expects to live 1t will
have to take out a life insurance pol
Icy on the colonel's life. Their cry Of
lighting the bosses" is already being
dissipated, by the winds of public
opinion. I do not think that Penrose
is a bit more dangerous than Finn,
and some of the other so-called Re-
publican bosses have quite as good a
standing with the voters as has Mr..
Perkins"
OF course, McHarg has, by his 40
ton, ranked himself with the bosses.
For we know that a boss Is a man who
opposes Roosevelt. Woodruff was a
boss till he came into the camp Of the
third termer, and so was Finn. But
they have gone through a process Of
sanctification. 1t is precisely 80 with
McHarg. He was not a boss when
he al doing for Roosevelt the work
of a boss, But having broken rela.
tons with "the only perfect man" he
necessarily sinks to the boss level. We,
therefore, fully expect to hear him de-
nounced as an exponent of crooked
politics" Even Penrose was all
right" when he was running Roose-
velt's campaign in Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON.-As a matrimonial
w agency the United States bureau
of fisheries has stepped into sudden
prominence. The methods Of the bu-
e a are unique. The unions are OBJ
tanned with speed and precision. The
bureau embarked In its new line Of en-
deavor the other day. The result Of
Its first attempt is speeding happily
westward with a honeymoon in the
sweet breezes of the Pribiloff islands
as an objective. It all came about in
this way. I
Out in the Prfbiloffs there are few
white people, but many Alieuts, and
the progeny of the Alieuts are both nu-
merous and ignorant. To the bureau
OF fisheries, which is the real gov
eminent of the Pribiloffs and the
Alieuts and seals which there abound,
has been delegated the task of bring
ing light where heretofore was dark
ness. The school system of the Prib-
iloffs Is a division of the work Of the
bureau Of fisheries. 1t Ia the intention
OF the government to have two
teachers on each of the large islands
OF the group. The fisheries people
prefer that they have a man teacher
and a woman. They also prefer to
have them a married couple.
Casting about for new material, the
bureau found that Alvin G. Whitney
OF Groton, Mass, wanted to become an
Alaskan school teacher. Mr.. Whitney
passed the examination in fine style.
He was just about to be appointed
when 1t was explained to him that the
Pribiloff government, which is the
bureau of fisheries, wanted married
teachers. The case was explained to

OPPOSES HORSE QUARANTINE.
T. c. Wilson Says Kansas Epidemic
Is Not Contagious.

Columbia. = Regarding meningitis
among horses, T. C. Wilson, secretary
of the Missouri state board of agri:
culture, issued this statement:
Owing to the loss of many horses
in western Kansas and in a few other
states there has been for several days
some fear that it might become nee
essary for Missouri, through the board
of agriculture, to institute a quaran-
tine. However, at this time it is
neither necessary nor advisable.
"Dr. s. Sheldon, state veterinarian,
who is now at Dodge City, Kas., where
he is making a personal investigation
as to the cause of the deaths among
horses, has wired that he has been
with government experts throughout
the day, and that it is the opinion Of
all that there is nothing to warrant a
quarantine.
THE scientists who have been con.
Quoting the investigation are now
thoroughly convinced the loss Of
horse stock in the territory affected
is not caused by contagious disease,
but grows out Of dangerous conditions
in the food or water supply"

Girls as Messengers?

~ IRL telegraph messengers; good
VI for small towns, not good for
Washington and other large cities.
That is the dictum Of telegraph men
OF the capital who were asked the 9TH
er day If they thought employment OF
girls to take the places Of lads, those
swift-footed Mercuries, the cycling al
lies of the lightning-tongued wire.
But Pittsburg is a large city, isn't
it," an inquiring reporter asked. "And
Pittsburg is using it,"
BE Pittsburg large or small, l say
girls would not do for messenger
boys" a positive telegraph man said,
smiling at his own Irish" Incident
ally, he did not altogether credit the
report that Pittsburg was trying out"
the messenger girl plan. In fact, he
scrubbed a mote" to Pittsburg asking
about 1t before he went farther with
the interview.
Girls as a rule do their work better
than boys" the positive man admitted.
They are generally more conscien-
tious and more careful. They wouldnot
be 30 apt to be distracted by collisions
and fights and fuses and other street
sights. and-so far as physical ability
would permit-they would be more
prompt than boys.
But there the advantages Of girl
messengers cease. The bad weather
we have in Washington would prevent
girls from delivering messages. They
Just could not stand what our boys
have to endure. n
1T Is not necessary to speak of
their not being able to go to places
where messages have to go. We keep

Corn rs Cents the Ear on Bill for U. S. Senator's

serving of n lonely cob Of very or
binary dimensions for the quarter
mentioned in the bill Of fare. Next of
the tempting novelties introduced on,
the bill was new potatoes, 20 cents"
We'll, WE'LL" murmured one OF the
regulars, "a bowlfuI Of new potatoes
would certainly be excellent for
lunch" So he gave the order and the
colored emissary returned in due time
and set before him a small bowl con.
tanning two potatoes, Of what seemed
to him rather limited cubical con-
tents.
Two potatoes at 10 cents apiece"
he observed. Eat that rate they must
be deemed by the management a lux
ury fit only for the palates of the
rich"
The restaurant is owned by the SEN
ate and is operated by a manager. It
loses money because the bulk of the
patronage Is limited to a couple OF
hours at lunch time. The deficit ID
made good by Withdrawals from the
senate fund to meet contingent ex-
penses.

LESSON ON TARIFF
GsioSIERY SCHEDULE SUPPLIES
CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF ITS
PRACTICAL EFFECTS.
PROTECTION RATE TOO HIGH
labor Cost of Production In This
Country Little More Than in Eu-
rope Notwithstanding Difference
in Wages.

We have received the following ap-
peal for light on the tariff:
is this the Democratic idea of the
G&rtff: That If the tariff is taken off
hosiery the American product will be
1ndersold by the German because it
can be produced cheaper in that u
Try than it can in the United States?
Would this be true of all things now
carrying tariff"
So far as we are aware, the Demo
cratic party has never made any dec
-Saration on hosiery, but we are glad
enat item was specified, because it
AFFORDS a peculiarly clear and intelli-
gibie illustration Of the practical ef-
feet OF the tariff. Hosiery worth a
collar a dozen pairs in Germany is
FAXED under our tariff go cents and Is
per cent, or rs cents. Omitting
freight and commissions and Incl
-Sanaai charges, this hosiery, then,
could be sold here for $1.75 a dozen.
The census bulletins show that In
hosiery the wages constitute about
'one-fourth of the value of the prod
act On domestic stockings worth
$l95 a dozen, therefore, the total
labor cost would be about A cents.
The position of the manufacturer,
then, Is that where he pays A cents
to his working people he gets rs cents
of protection. The Democratic party
does not believe that he needs any
such rate Of protection. The labor
cost Of production In this country is
little more than it Is in Europe in
any line, and in many lines 1t is much
less. In the last fiscal year we ex-
ported more than a billion dollars
worth Of manufactured goods. In
July more than half of the exports
were manufactured goods. OF course,
4 1t cost more to produce manufacture
Vi goods here than in Europe we
could not export on any such scale
ms this. The employees In our machine
shops get better wages than the men
I'm foreign machine shops, and yet we
exported machinery to the value of
s115,o 0O, 900 In the last fiscal year.
OF course, the Democratic party
does not believe that lowering duties
would close our mills and throw all
e9lr people out of employment. If it
did it would not advocate reducing
duties. The reports Of the tariff
board show, what students of eco
Gaomics knew before, that the labor
cost Of production is often lowest
where wages are highest. There is a
book on the efficiency of labor, or the
relative costs of labor where wages
are high and where they are low. by
Jacob Schoenhoff. There Is a volume
of lectures on Work and Wages by
lord Brassey, and another book by
him on a similar subject, which, Of
course, have no specific reference to
our tariff, but are all the more val
liable for that reason. They are dis
cussions Of the greater economy Of
high-priced labor. Lord B~rassey's ia
eher built railroads In every part OF
the world, and he found that 1t made
little difference In the cost OF n
struction whether he paid a shilling
I'm India, four shillings In France or
2six shillings in England; IL there
were any difference the cost was low
est where the wages we're highest.

Any n who thinks public serv-
Ice is a sinecure may find he is mis-
taken in some instances. Secretary
Meyer Of Mr.. Taft's cabinet some
time ago was stricken with typhoid
fever from the unsalubrious waters Of
the Potomac, and had to get off the
job. His place was taken by Beck
man Winthrop, who had recently re-
turned from a leave of absence In
Europe, where he went to r~ecuperate
his strength, utterly exhausted by the
demands Of the service. He finds 1t
necessary now at the end Of every
week to get out Of Washington and
come back Monday to his desk. Sum
mer weather In Washington is mighty
trying.
