IAFT'S TARIFF RECORD

Chairman Hilles, of the Republican National committee. has announced that the tariff will be the principal issue of the campaign, and that the Republican party will stand on it's record of achievement"
 what is the record of the Taft ad- rrfnistration on the tariff?
 Tn the first place MT. Taft prom ised. when he was a candidate for the presidency, that in the event of his election, he would do all in his power to revise the tariff downward. The platform of the Republican par ty. In the year that Mir. Taft was his party's standard bearer. merely prom iseds as it often had done before, ito revise the tariff but MT. Taft, speak ing for his party, said he would con- true this promise to mean revision downward in the event of his suc- cess at the polls.
 As soon as he was elected MT. Taft forgot all about his promise of re- vision downward, and sat idly in the White House while the proteetionist leaders in Congress, headed by Ald- rfch and Cannon and Shoot, at once proceeded to reyiseF the tariff. not downward. but upward. That was the first tariff achievement" of the Taft administration.
 After feeling the wrath of the peo- pleN because of the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, MT. Taft pulp licly declared. the. wool schedule to be infefensible..
 Very well, along came the Demo- cratic House with a wool bill to re- wise the .'indefensible''s wool schedule downward. Mir: Taft promptly vetoed that bill Achievement No. two in the Taft tariff record.
 Still insisting that he believes cer- tain of the tariff schedules to be too high, Mir. Taft continued to veto re- vision downward bills as fast as they came to him from the Democratic House. This was achievement No. three in the Taft record.
 Still deaf to the demands of the people for a cut in the tariff rates, but still prpfessing an intention to revise the tariff downward. Mr., Taft has remained silent all this session of Congress. notwithstanding the fact that a number of revision downward bills are at the present lying pigeon holed in the Senate. MT. Taft could demand and get action on those bills if he so desired, but he remains si- lent- Achievement" No. four in the Taft tarifE record.
 The only Achievement in that Taft tarir program is the Payne AL drfch bill, and this has been thor Dughly and completely repudiated by he people.
 MT. Hilles has mapped out a hard job for himself.

HERBERT KNOX SMITH
 AND THOSE PRINCIPLES
lNew Work Tinnes.1

@NeW. II Ork IlneS.5
 MT. Herbert Knox Smith, in resign poratio frankly told the President that he resigned in order to join the new Progressive. Party The pro- gressive movement, he added, in cludes principles that I believe in, and that I have earnestly tried to further, so far as I could, during my term of Federal service. I feel that the new party represents these prin- ciples more directly than either of the old parties. But Mir Smith leaves us altogether in doubt as to the na- ture f"these principles. If we turn to the fountain of authority, our neighbor The Outlook, we get no more light than from MT. Smith. The Out look, in it's article on Woodrow Will son and the Democratic Party this week, says that MT Roosevelt return ed from Africa in 1910 to find tha& while the people had gone forward the Administration had turned back:
 The people, exasperated, were de- manding new guarantees of rights--a popular primary, short ballot, the initiative, the referendum. and the re-, calLa-

Principle has a virtue of it's own, inherent, un- detachable method has no virtue whatever save LndI OI SAllS1SnCy. Il it works. it is good; if not, it is dis carded for something better. MT. Roosevelt and his clique are continu- ally putting forward these things as principles.
 From another source, however, from MT; Herbert Knox Smith himself, we may get glimmer of a notion as to what the progressive principles are. As Commissioner of Corporations MT. Smith, on Sept. 21, 1907, wrote let ter to President Roosevelt about the international Harvester case. At torney General Bonaparte was strain ing at his leash, eager to set off in full cry with suit against MT. Per kins' corporation. At the same time Commissioner Smith was investigat- ing the corporatio in his own gentle way. Tn his letter to the President he arguel thatA the suit should not be begun, that the hand of MT. Bona parte should be stayed. Here is an extract from his letter:

ONE SOLUTION OF
 CANAL TOLL PROBLEM

With communication established through the Panama Canal this na- tion will be half slave and half free. with respect to it's facilities for trans porting goods from one part to an- other of it's great domain
 The nation will own the gigantic waterway. which. has been built with a mighty treasure, but private persons own the railroads and these will do their best to absorb into their own coffers the financial and material ad- vantages flowing from the canal.
 Already the railroads appear to have defeated the project to make the waterway free to American vessels, it being evident to them that the higher the tonnage charge on freight by wa ter, the less the ability of shipping to compete with railroads.
 It is even charged, and by no less authority than Senator O'Gorman of New York. that the railroads have been conspiring with the foreign of- fees of foreign nations, against their own country. to promote foreign ob- jection against free tolls for Ameri- can ships.
 The policy of the United States has been to make navigation free. That policy ought to be extended to Pana- ma. It should be so extended regard less of the views of foreign nations.
 The canal was built with American machinery, brains and money It be- longs to the American people. If they desire toemake it free to American

WHY SHOULD HE RESIGN?
(New York world.

(NeWe OTh NfsOA AeA.I
 If Woodrow Wilson is elected Pres. ident in November his retirement from the Goyernorship of New Jer' sey will follow as a matter of course But there is no call for his resigna- tior now and no conflict of official m terests or duties which would dictate such a course.
 Cleveland was Governor of New York when nominated in 1894 anf held that office through the cam paign. Garfield was a United States .Senator-elect when nominated 1T 1880 and did not resign until aftel the election. Ti1den was Governor of New York and Hayes of Ohie when nominated in 1876 and neither resigned before the election.
