uNDER SAIL.

Times-Republican: The new party
is launched and under sail, skipper
Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram johnson
first mate. It came smoothly off the
ways full rugged and ready to be-
gin its voyage-where? 1t is well
captained for an adventurous trip,
fairly manned and sails into no new
seas. 1t has bases of supplies, friend
ly ports of touch and of call. Where
will the voyage end?
There is no doubt that the leaders
and supporters of the movement ex-
pect to land at the White House
dock in November and it is not at
all certain that their hopes will lack
justification.
The Roosevelt candidacy and the
platform behind it appeals to vast
number of Americans.
The total census would be aston
ishing of those who agree with the
particularized declarations of the
new party for direct primaries for
the nomination of state and nation
al officers, for nationwide preferen-
tial primaries for candidates for the
presidency, for the direct election OF
United States senators by the peo-
pie, for the policy of the short bal
lot, with responsibility to the peo-
pie secured by the initiative, refer
endum and recall. OF the latter
propositions the, voters are still in
suspicious mood, especially as re-
CARDS the recall but the number Of
those who are ready to agree to the
whole program is large and its pur-
pose enthusiastic.
The new party will make Roadway
rapidly in the states wherein the
voters have personal grievances like
Illinois, Pennsylvania and other
states which were made to walk the
plank at the Chicago convention.
With judgment it will make Roadway
in Iowa and states where progressives
lost by their own insolence and lack
of initiative. 1t will not gain In
these last named states however, II
it chooses to pursue strong arm
policy against state nominees
against whose nomination nothing
can be urged and which was won
fairly in honest primaries. 1t is ut
terly unjust and indefensible to de-
mand of a candidate thus nominal
ed in a straight party primary that
he shall as the price of support be
guilty of treachery to the party
which gave him the nomination. 1t
would be nothing less than plain
treachery to the candidates were the
republicans who nominated him in
Iowa and who have taken up new
national alignment on account of
the actions of treacherous nation
al committee, to offer these candi-
dates choice between reputation of
the source of their nomination or
defeat Such .insistence would put
the third party republicans in Iowa
in the position of denial of their own
signatures.
The new party starts off well. II
it is to finish well it must stick to
its own text of honest and straight
forward dealing in politics. The
breath of its nostrils is the square
deal. 1t must not refuse it's own
medicine

ROOSEVELT ON TARIFF.

In mis- aQOreSS D0IOTe the pIo6IcD
sive convention at Chicago Mr..
Roosevelt, in discussing the tariff
Question, said:
believe in a protective tariff, but
believe in 1t as principle, ap-
preached from the standpoint OF the
interests of the whole people, and
not as bundle of preferences to be
lgiven to favored individuals. In
my opinion the American people
favor the principle Of protective
tariff, but they desire such a tariff
to be established primarily in the
interests of the wage worker and the
consumer.
The chief opposition to our tariff
at the present moment comes from
the general conviction that certain
interests have been improperly fav-
ored by overprotection. agree with
this view. The commercial and In
dustrial experience of this country
has demonstrated the wisdom of the
protective policy, but it has also
demonstrated that in the application
Of that policy certain clearly recog-
nized abuses have developed.
1t is not merely the tariff that
should be revised, but the method
of tariff making and of tariff admin
istration. Wherever nowadays an
industry is to be protected 1t should
be on the theory that such protec-
ton will serve to keep up the wages
and the standard of living of the
wage worker in that industry with
full regard for the interest OF the
consumer. To accomplish this, the
tariff to be levied should as nearly
as is scientifically possible approx
innate the differential between the
cost of production at home and
abroad. This differential is chiefly,
| IL not wholly, in labor cost. No du-
| ty should be permitted to stand as
regards any industry unless the
workers receive their full share OF
the benefits of that duty. In other
words, there Is no warrant for pro-
lection unless a legitimate share OF
the benefits gets into the pay enve-
lope of the wage worker.
The practice of undertaking a
general revision of all the schedules
at one time and of securing infor-
nation as to conditions In the differ
ent industries and as to rates of du-
ty desired chiefly from those engag-
ed in the industries, who themselves
benefit directly from the rates they
propose, has been demonstrated to
be not only ubiquitous but futile. 1t
has afforded opportunity for prac-
tically all of the abuses which have
crept into our tariff making and our
tariff administration.
The day of the log rolling tariff
must end The progressive thought
of the country has recognized this
fact for several years. and the time
has come when all genuine progress
sives should insist upon a thorough
and radical change in the method OF
tariff making.
The first step should be the crea-
ton of permanent commission of
nonpartisan experts. whose business
shall be to study scientifically all
phases of tariff making and of tarif1
effects.
This commission should be large
enough to cover all the different and
widely varying branches of Ameri-
can industry. 1t should have am

q It begins to look as though Taft
were going to be lost sight Of in
this campaign. The plea for party
regularity, however, may enable him
to carry number of states. Every
thing has been Rooseveltward thus
far. but the situation is likely to
change.

How Business Keeps Up.

4. 9 ! 'a3a
The crop situation, upon which
national, prosperity so largely de-
ponds, is in an eminently satisfact-
DRY position says the Marshalltown
Times-Republican. Some uncertain
ty still exists as to cotton, as is evil
denced by the wide fluctuations in
the market for cotton options, but
the latest news shows Improvement
in the eastern cotton section. with
lack of moisture again reported in
the southwest. notably Texas. The
grain crops are in very promising
condition and every day now adds
to their security from unfayorable
weather developments.
A noticeable note of optimism pre-
walls in business circles in most sec
tions of the country, which is not
lappreciably~ affected by the usual ex-
elements of presidential year. The
great prosperity Of the iron and
steel industry is steadily maintain
ed in all its important branches;
and the railroads, already in posses
sion of traffic, as indicated by
gross earnings in the three weeks
of July, 3.4 per cent larger than last
year. are preparing for still larger
business by liberal arrangements for
rails and equipment on scale in
excess of most former years.
A midsummer lull prevails in mer-
lchandising in dry goods, yet many
orders are coming in for. future de-
livery. The shoe trade also main
tains recent Improvement. The gem
orally advancing tendencies of the
business situation are strikingly i'm
Dictated by bank clearings for July,
which show gains Of IA per cent
over 1911 and of So per cent over
1910, and these grains are well die
tributed over the different sections
of the country, a proof that businss
improvement is national in scope.
The July failure exhibit still shows
the effect of the former strain by
the large number of defaults and the
increase in liabilities over the cor
responding month in the two pre-
ceding years, result which is large
| ~ due to the increase in small fail
ures.
Trade expansion contrasts with
speculative dizziness. Inasmuch AZ
the increased Industrial and mercan-
tile operations involve larger de-
mands for money, while require
ments in connection with moving
the crops will also be heavy, 1t Is,
on the whole, fortunate that there
is no great speculative activity to
aid to the burdens Of the money
market, which is giving signs Of an
advancing tendency. The Industrial
| and trade situation is thus in adj
vance of the speculative securities
market, but the sluggishness OF the
latter is not an indication OF sus-
picion as to the reality and perfor-
| nance OF the former.
Liabilities Of commercial failures
for July are s16,09S.460 OF which
$6,167.222 were in manufacturing,
ls7147,419 in trading and $2,783.-
S19 in other commercial lines. Fail
ures this week numbered 291 in the
| United States against 232 last year,
and "a in Canada compared with ~
a year ago.

Des Moines residents will take
pride in the statistics which show
that under the Des Moines plan the
city tax levy has steadily declined.
One Of the many Misrepresentation
that opponents of the commission
plan relate in arguing against Des
Moines is that the plan has not re-
duced taxes here.-Des Moines Cap
ital.
No doubt the Capital is glad that
it will not have to dodge quite as
quickly nor quite as far as it has in
the past to keep down its tax ex-
pense.

Democrats in republican states
like Iowa think there should be a
democrat on the state supreme
bench, but it is a noticeable fact
that democrats in such places as
Mississippi, Texas and Georgia have
no such foolish notions. 1t is like
wise a conspicuous fact that demo-
Gratis in reliably republican states
think there should be frequent
changes in the political complexion
of state officers, but democrats in
Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and
North Carolina have no such PRO
gressive" ideas.

1t is not the supporters of Roose-
welt who want a third party state
ticket in the field in Iowa. 1t is only
the opponents Of Cummins, or OF
Kenyon, or of Clark, or of AL
len, or of Bleakley, or Of Woods
or of some of the county candidates
Taft's friends want it and the demo-
Gratis want it. Such movement will
cost Roosevelt thousands of votes
and his opponents know 1t. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not the
real friends Of Roosevelt in Iowa are
to be fooled by the noise and blus-
ter of the opposition.
