A two-year course has been in op.

the result of a petition of the law

the lecturers are Senator j. l.. Raw

Frank B. Stephens, Judge w. II. King

Franklin s. Richards.
The bulletin names as the special

/ clause directed especially to the hui
m liation OF General Wood, in depos-
ing him from h s present position as
chief of staff.
He vetoed the civil appropriation
bill because it contained r.deds on gen
eral subjects, two of which were the
abolitoY &C the Commerce Court and
they contained general Legislation
which, If desirable, ought to be dealt
with in specific bills of direct char
acter. The practice of enacting gen.
eral legislation by grating 1t upon
appropriation bills is reprehensible in
the highest degree, and the President
expressed his judgment against 1t
forcibly in considering every bill that
contained such riders.
There Is no question but that the
President has strengthened himself
with the country by these vetoes. Tho
petty political trick whereby he was
fjiced to resist and had to oppose re
ductions in the tariff where he had
expressly favored reductions. was an
worthy dodge, meant to humiliate
him, but above which he rose trium.
plant. II can safely be said that in
every political play for advantage III
rected against President Taft, he has
not only beaten off his assailants, but
has won a decisive victory, which WI
commend him stronger than eve. to
the SURFACES of American voters.
The season was an exceedingly
trihing one, generally speaking,
where important legislation was de-
layed month after month beyond all
sense or reason, merely for the pur.
pose of getting in political drives
which. in fact, have proved flare
backs" The credit of all the conten.
tons is decidedly with President
Taft and against those who put up
the tricky jobs against him.

is 'e3 TO COME
BACK?
!.

Little intimation has yet been Civ
en- by the party leaders as to the Is
sues upon which the campaign VIII
be fought. If the Republican managers
are wise, however, they will bring
the tariff prominently to the front,
II is not question now as to
whether the tariff shall be reduced,
Upon that point there is practically
no difference of opinion. There is
vast difference, however, between a
reduction in the tariff so as to elm
mate certain special advantages and
a tariff for revenue only. 1t Is only
necessary to recall the dark days OF
1893 to emphasize this difference.
The tariff law which was then enact
ed was far from being as low in its
schedules as the Democrats desired.
In fact, President Cleveland, a free
trader like Woodrow Wilson, charac-
terized 1t as a thing of perfidy and
dishonor, and yet that tarif law
plunged the country into four years
OF great distress. Factories were
closed, woIkmen were idle, soup
houses abounded, and capital was
locked up. 1t was an object lesson
which the country ought not to for
get
The trouble is, perhaps that the
conditions of 1898 are to millions Of
voters today traction and not an
experience. The young man who
casts his first v:ie this year was a
babe in arms when the country pass
ed through the sorrow and travail of
1895. The man who had reached the
prime OF life in that period has now,
in the natural order of things, passed
away. II will be difficult to mrhe
the younger generation believe that
a revolution in tie tariff means Lusi-
ness stagnation and the paralysis Of
American manufacture through the
opening Of the food gates to foreign
importations, Such, however, will
be the fact.

THE PRESIDENTS
vEToES.

Ss . -
Salt Lake Tribune: President Taft
has done himself distinguished credit
by his vetoes of bills passed at the
season of congress which has just
closed. A number of the bills vetoed
were passed by congress for the ex-
press purpose of putting Taft in a
hole" That he succeeded in putting
Congress in a hole instead of drop
ping into it himself is vastly to the
sense; for unquestionably a clear
victory is the net as well as the gross
result of the political play between
congress and the President.
First of all, take the wool bill. Last
year at the extra session this bin was
passed by congress and put up to the
President. He vetoed it on the
ground that the Tariff Board had not
yet reported on the wool schedule
nor had it been expected to report so
early, because 1t had been directed to
report in December of that year. The
wool bill passed at the session just
closed and vetoed by the President
was precisely the same old bill that
had been vetoed by him before. He
vetoed 1t the first time because the
Tariff Board had had insufficient tim,
within which to make a report on tn,
wool schedule. He vetoed the SAM
old bill the second time because it en-
tirely ignored the Tariff Boards re
port.
He vetoed the bill dealing with tn
metal schedule because IL was ill-co
sdered, unbalanced, and because tn
Tariff Board had not yet reporttd o
the metal schedule. The great o
lection against the bill dealing wit
the metal schedule is that II dea
with the metals Unfortunately, pu
ting those which were wholly at Il
mercy Of the tarrf, as lead and yin
on the same basis as iron and ste,
which are entirely Independent OF al
tariff at all. No bill dealing with 4
metal schedule and putting the met
on a common basis has either intel
gnce or practical value attaching
it.
He vetoed the army and navy ,
preparation bill because It contain
general legislation recognizing {
army on doubtful lines, and havIas

THE DIRECT
PRIMARY.

Caldwell Tribune: The direct pri.
mary in its present form, is a com.
| plete failure. This is acknowledged
! pretty generally. The New York
Tines, an Independent newspaper
with pronounced Democratic tenden.
cies, declares that the Roosevelt pri-
mary campaign in Illinois, Pennsyl.
vania, Maryland, and New Jersey cost
the enormous sum of $4,000, 100000. No
doubt the Times bases its estimates
upon reliable information. The money
was advanced by the Steel and Har.
vester Trust Magnate Perkins, Mr..
Munsey of magazine fame, Mr.. Pin
chot, whom we of the northwest have
reason to remember, Mr.. Finn and
other men OF equal patriotic procliv.
tiles, who have worked overtime in
the laudable effort TO give the PEG.

DISCARD OLD SIEGE GUNS.
Weapons of More Modern Design to
Be Used by Army.

The old siege ordnance of the army.
which consisted of J-inch guns and Z
inch howitzers, is to be discarded for
weapons of more modern design. Most
important in the new equipment is a 30
inch howitzer, which will fire projectile
of $50 pounds. That gun will be the mini
mum size of the siege material to be de-
yeloped under the direction OF the chief
of ordnance.
The carriage for that howitzer is so
heavy that it will be necessary to re-
move the howitzer from the carriage,
which will be drawn by eight horses. The
gun will be placed on special vehicle
and will be transported by an equal num-
Der of horses The 4.7-inch field gun and
the 6-inch field howitzer are now classed
as field artillery material. rather than
siege material, because it has been found
that each gun on it's own carriage can
be drawn rapidly enough to keep up with
infantry on the march.
Two batteries have been equipped with
the new 4.7-inch long-recoil field gun, one
at Fort Sill. Okla, and the other at West
Point, n. Y. The gun at Fort Sill is used
in connection with the new school for
field artillery fire. as we'll as in the de-
