Blood" and Lefty Louie are in hiding

fiends'' and will be certain to remain
close by the sources Of supply. So 1t is
the purpose to station men on fixed
post right at the notorious hop supply"
places. where these two young men would
have to go to replenish their stores. and
then nab them when they appear. Simple
scheme, knowing that the rat will have
to drink, put a cat at each drinking place
and gobble the rat when he presents him
self to quench his thirst, But suppose
the rat sends a proxy with means to
carry away the supply. Suppose he
recognizes the cat. There are evident
flaws in the plan of campaign. And not
the least interesting phase OF the matter
is the disclosure that the police know
just where hop" is sold in New York,
know it SO we'll that they can cover the
city with a guard to catch any man they
want who is addicted to the use OF the
drug II the big town were not so much

One Big Ship.

1t is finally and definitely assured that
at least one battleship will be started
under the new appropriation act. This is
only one-half the measure of addition to
the navy that the country demands and
had a good reason to expect. but it is bet
ter than none at all And it is the more
welcome as compromise in that the
single ship thus started will be the big
gest and most powerful war vessel afloat
when it is launched and commissioned.
1t is somewhat humiliating that this one
ship was obtained only by dint of the
hardest fighting in Congress. and that IL
it had not been for the determined efforts
of few devoted men in the House the
whole program of naval advancement
would have gone by the board on the
score of so-called economy. Thanks to
these few men, the caucus bonds were
broken and the democrats of the House
were enabled TO vote as their consciences
dictated and rs they understood the wish
es of the people. 1t Is to be hoped that
next year this performance will not be
repeated. but that there will be a suffi-
Gent appropriation without a struggle to
ensure the systematic replacement Of OBJ
solescent vessels and the maintenance of
the position of the United States in the
naval ranks of the nations

Tariff for Politics Only.
Duluth Ncws-Tril,lue


1t would take philadelphia lawyer
to untangle into any semblance of rea-
son. consistency or good sense the dem
ocratic working plan as to the tariff.
What they say is simple: they declare
for tariff for revenue only, which has a
single and definite meaning.
But this Is only their declaration OF
principles, and has no more apparent
relation to what they do and intend to do
than a jack rabbit has to a Greek phil
osopher. They want free sugar, though
sugar is one of the best subjects In this
country for a strictly revenue tariff, and
is now the chief revenue producer.
The farmers who refuse TO vote for
President Taft because he advocated reel
procity with Canada are urged to vote
for Woodrow Wilson. though the Cana
dian bill had the solid support of the
democrats, who stubborny refuse to re-
woke the law the Canadians refused to
accept.
Wilson approved this act, being pro-
nounced free trader in principle. and if
there is any tariff policy which is con-
sistently democratic. 1t is for free raw
materials which include everything the
farmers produce.
In practice the democrats are inclined
to throw down the tariff bars on all man
ufactures peculiar TO the north and raise
them to prohibitive rates on those of the
south.
They are distinctly reactionary in op-
posing non partisan. broadly empowered
tariff commission and reverting to strictly
congressional revision. with all of its in
evitable barter and trading. its corrupting
influences and special privilege.
Instead of tariff for revenue only,
for which they declare in their platform.
they declare in every congressional act
and in their campaign for a tariff for
politics only. II this is what the voters
want they have only to vote for Wood
row Wilson.

Plutocracy and the People.

Gov. Marshalls proposition is that as
between government controlled by a
hundred very rich men. and government
controlled by all the people. the latter
is to be preferred. Undoubtedly. The
choice is easily made. No campaign
waged in favor of such a plutocracy
would get anywhere.
Present-day unrest. however, rests
largely upon the assertion that such a
plutocracy exists. and Is seeking to per-
petuate its power The names or the
rlutocrats have been given. Their indi-
vidual and their interlacing interests have
been described. Stump speeches by the
thousands are in preparation with that
black list for texts.
Gov Marshall holds the republican
nart, responsible for the conditions he
denounces. It's policies have bred pluto
Gratis here and paupers there. The pro-
tective tariff in particular has worked
incalculable harm. The only way to re-
store the government to the people-from
whom it was filched by false promises
is to turn tho republicans out Of office
and put the democrats in. with Wilson
and Marshall at their head.
Mr. Roosevelt holds both of the old par
ties responsible. and on that account is
warning on both His present aim is to
break up the republican party. and his
hone is that by doing that he will aid
in breaking up -he democratic party. He
is convinced that Mr.. Wilson in office
will fail. as Mr.. Cleveland did a score
If wears ago. with the same kind OF
Heterogeneous combination behind him.
Then out of the two weeks he. Roose-
welt. will try to collect following strong
enough to return him to the White
House in 1916 to inaugurate his scheme
of state socialism.
All this is the widest sort Of campaign
exaggeration. The country is not in the
clutches of a few or of many plutocrats
There are plutocrats in the country. but
distributed among the parties. Pluto
Gratis are supporting Mr.. Taft. Other
plutocrats. just as plutocratic. are sup
porting Mr. Wilson. And. mirabile dictu.
there are plutocrats journeying toward
Already with Mr. Roosevelt. and financing
the caravan.
The danger is in exciting the rank and
file of the electorate to great expectations
impossible of realization. If Mr. Wilson
is elected high prices Of living will not

a dull thud. II Mr.. Roosevelt is elected
trusts will not at once, if at all. lose
their power or their industry. And il
Mr. Taft is reelected there will still
be an enormous amount Of work to be
done to correct evils growing out Of our
recent phenomenal prosperity.
But maybe bugaboos are necessary to
the show. At any rate, we have always
had them. and the public seems still to
relish their appearance. And in the show
business the public usually gets what it
wants and pays for.

AN UNFORTUNATE
 CONDITION

As stated in the Miner yes terday and confirmed by tele- gram from Seattle today, a freight rate war is on between the different transportation companies operating to this re- zion. Rates on general merehan disc. explosives, gasoline, ma- ehinery, etc. have been cut to 5000 per ton. the cut having been announced by the Alaska Steamship company and the Pacific Coast Steamship com- pany. As this figure is less than freight can be carried for lit is patent to all that the re- duction can be for one purpose alone-the elimination of the two or three smaller companies operating to this region. The situation is unfortunate. and it lis to be hoped that it will be brought to a speedy terminal ion before the little fellow IS forced to the wall. It may en- able us to get our freight cheap for awhile. but sooner or later, somebody will have 10 foot the bill. and it will be you and me If the business gets into the hands of but one or two comp anies.
