The Tariff and the MiIIhand.

Cotton millmen enjoy probably a higher degree of tariff privilege than any other one industry.
 The profits of the cotton magnates are enormous. Dividends of 40, SC and 60 per cent are not uncommon capitalization is frequently three or four times the investment, and sur plus greater than the capitalization is maintained.
 The federal bureau of labor has pub lished the results of an investigation into the cotton textile industry, which gives some interesting figures.
 The average wage of an adult work CT in an American cotton mill is $6.S2 per week. When one remembers that in the north 10.2 per cent of the male workers and 5.4 per cent of the fe- male workers are children of IA and 15 years, and that in the south 3S.9 per cent of the males and 25.1 per cent of the females are of the same tender age, the pittance which cotton magnates pay for labor is apparent.
 Will some standpat editor explain why high tariff, which enables the mill bosses to rob the people by high prices. not only fails to put the cotton worker on decent living standard. but actually puts him below the level of street sweeper?

This occurred at the 400 level and the richest of the ore is copper glance which runs 50 per cent in cop per values.

MIR. ROOSEvELTS SPEECH
(New York Herald)

Inquirer in another column asks in an editorial printed yesterday when it said that the thought was spreading that MT. Roosevelt was too late with his Columbus speech and that the thrill is gone.
 If Enquirer will read the Colum- bus speech and ask any large number of his friends what they think about it he will find out just what the Her aid meant more clearly than it could be explained in short paragraph.
 The country for six months at least has been holding it's breath for some great explosion to occur. Reguarly three times a week during most of that period the newspapers have been gold bricked" to use a vulgar parlance, and their readers likewise deluded by confident statements that MT. Roosevelt would make up his mind to be candidate before the week was out or that he would an nounce his candidacy next Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday.
 After holding it's breath for these six months, waiting to be properly thrilled the country has begun to breath again. It makes little differ ence to a majority of those who were holding their breath then whether MT. Roosevelt really makes a declaration now or not.

.Thrusts ,at T.rusts.

The department of justice is said to have a thousand complaints against the trusts upon its books: Investiga- ton of alleged violations of the Sher- man antitrust law leads the depart. ment to believe that 1t can carry through several prosecutions with sue cess before the end of the year.
 The decisions in the cases against the Standard Oil company and the American Tobacco company proved that the Sherman law could deal with the trusts so far as to halt their poli- cies of greed and tyranny. But they have not shown that the trust problem could be settled thereby. What are half a dozen suits, or half a hundred for that matter. as against the forma- ton and the conduct of new combina- tions, new trade associations, new pools and new agreements? They amount to no more than the pin prick in the hide of, "a rhinoceros.
 Only few politicians who still per ceive advertising material in the de nunciation of the trusts pretend that prosecution can ever effectively stay the course of economic evolution. They but help to postpone the discov- cry of the solution. The real work of dealing with the difficulty lies with those who are confident that regula- ton. not foolish attempts at destruc- ton, constitutes the answer.

POINTS FOR TARIFF MAKERS
Smuggling Scandals Prove That Hu- man Nature Has Not Changed to
 Any Remarkable Degree.

Makers of tariffs, whether for public revenue only or for private spells only, learned long ago that it was folly to lay high duties on things easily smuggled. Experience taught them that low duties would get more buyers of jewelry and other small but costly things, and they acted accord ingly.
 But of late our American tariff craftsmen, ignoring experience, or thinking the idle rich' had grown honest, or that the dear masses had become easier marks, restored the obsolete high duties on such things. And. now they find that there Is plenty of smuggling, as of yore, where there is plenty of motive.
 The latest news in this line comes from New York. According to the dispatch conveying it a banker of great wealth, not named, is the ex- pert under whose direction many ar- ticles of small bulk, but immense value, have been smuggled through that port Citizens of high standing in the world of industry and com -merce are said to be involved.
 Such disclosures should convince our new-light tariff makers that their predecessors knew something, and that American human nature is not less prone to in1quity than it was in the days when, as they assume, tariff building was less scientific art
 This noble art has not become more progressive or scientific than it's kin dred art of gambling

Great Combination

If MT. Clark is elected president next year, a congress Democratic in both branches is likely to supplement that result, and the first business in hand in 1913-probably in the spring will be tariff revision. The Payne law will come in for a complete over hauling. What then shall we see? A man in the White House familiar with the tariff from a Democratic point of view. 8 man in the speakership-Mr. Underwood-familiar with the man in the White House. and some man. chairman of ways and means familiar with both.

DESERVING LAFOLLETTE
(Democrat)


 If those Progressive republicans who are manifesting such haste to abandon the LaFollette cause, for sake all other pretense and climb in to the Roosevelt band wagon, imag- inc they have surprised anyone, they are laboring under a delusion. Their desertion from the LaFollette camp has nothing whatever of a coup about it.
 At the very inception of the presi- dential campaign activity it was ex- pected that, at what some of these LaFollette advocates considered the physiological moment, they would proceed to execute the sidestep which would put them on9the path leading to Oyster Bay.

At Least a Year Too Late.

MT. Mann. Republican leader in the house, in his statement to the coun- try reviewing the work of the ex- tra session of congress, makes one point against the Democrats. He charges them with having delayed the passage of the measure for the direct election of senators.
 But what profit can Mir Mann hope to gain for his party by calling atten- tfon to that fact? The stand-pat wing of the Republicans in congress, to which MT. Mann himself belongs, has delayed the passage of a measure for the direct election of senators through the sixteen years of its control of con- gress. Although the measure passed the house under Republican control, did anyone ever hear of MT. Mann pointing to the fact that its defeat by a stand-pat senate was 8 party blun- der?:
 The Republican house leader is at least a whole year too late in seeing the light.
