Ii Is fortunate for the country that
Mr.. Roosevelt has chosen TO set forth
In detail his dealings with Penrose
and Archbold and Cornelius Bliss and
Cortelyou and Hartman and George
w. Perkins. He has given useful
example to all other men who know
anything about campaign contribu-
tons made in the last dozen years in
the interests of trusts or who have
knowledge OF efforts on the part or
trust representatives to influence in
improper ways the actions of the ma
tional administration or OF congress.
BY applying proper methods TO the
broad field that Is now before IL the
Clapp investigating committee should
reap a rich harvest of facts In this
present fruitful autumn.
Mr.. Roosevelt has managed to make
clearer than before his relations with
Hartman, about which SO much has
been said In recent years. The let
tiers that he publishes tend strongly
to prove his contention that Hartman
was even more anxious than himself
TO influence the result in New York
state in 1904 and that In raising a
large sum for the New York cam
paign Hartman was serving his own
interests rather than Roosevelt's. AS
for the PenroseArchbold charges that
Bliss attempted to blackmail the
Standard Oil Co. to get money for
the national campaign of that year.
Mr.. Roosevelt truly says that while
the words Of the accusing defendants

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Interests

reflect heavily upon the dead treas
mittee they absolutely condemn the
accusers themselves.
Here. certainly, as Mr.. Roosevelt
points out, Is the overshadowing Is
sue which the Clapp committee should
earnestly investigate. Penrose got
$4,000 from Archbold. That is con-
coded. Why did Archbold give 1t to
him and how did he spend It? Was
IL wages or what was IL? Penrose has
testified that he told Archbold the
Standard Oil Co. made a mistake In
not giving $4,000 to the Republican
campaign fund when Bliss demanded
1t after 100000 had already been
given by that company. II Penrose
thought and In effect said that by
paying money the oil trust might save
itself from government attack he had
the thoughts and spoke the language
of the corruptionist.
The Clapp committee has still to
show that II does not intend to ig-
more direct testimony pointing to cor
ruption in the Penrose-Archbold camp
In order that II may pursue hearsay
testimony leading more or less I'M
certainly In the direction OF Roose-
welt Penrose is clearly the man In
whose conduct the committee should
take particular interest, since already
there is much evidence to indicate
that Penrose ought to be unseated
for conduct unbecoming United
States senator.-Chicago News.

Recent Tariff History

Public agitation for reduction OF tar
IN taxes during the last four years has
been singularly barren of results con-
sidering the fervor OF the agitation.
Mr.. Taft recognized the demand for
lower tariff schedules when. speaking
in Milwaukee, September "a, 1908, he
promised IL he became president i'm
mediately 10 call a special session OF
congress and recommend "a genuine
and honest revision of the tariff in ac-
cordance with the principles OF pro-
lection laid down In the party plat
form. based upon an examination OF
appropriate evidence and impartial as
between the consumer and the manu-
facturer." He said he did not doubt
that protected manufacturers would
make every effort. as they ought, TO
maintain the tariff at such rates as
will secure them in their business"
He realized. however, that there was
"a large element In the Republican
party representing the consumer,
through whom a demand for a revis-
ion OF the tariff on conservative pro-
tective lines to reduce excessive rates
has crystalized into the definite pledge
10 revise the tariff"
How well protected manufacturers
maintained the high rates and how Ill
the consumer Jared In his efforts to
get excessive schedules reduced when
the Payne-Aldrich measure was framed
in the summer OF 1909 is a matter OF
history. Though practically every
body except the benefciaries are
agreed that many Of the present rates,
notably those in schedule X, relating
10 wool and woolcns, are Unfortunately
high, the people have been denied re-
lief from them TO this present day. A
Democratic house and senate con-
trolled on tariff matters by Democrats
and Republican insurgents have pass
ed In two extended sessions OF the
present congress various tariff revi-
sion measures. All OF them were
killed by the presidents veto. Neither
congress nor the executive manifest
ed a proper desire to come To an
agreement OH these measures and
thereby give the public relief from un-
just tariff burdens
The American people can only view
with disgust the outcome OF the dreary
farce that has been enacted In Wash
ington to amuse them by keeping
Give their hopes OF lowered tariff
rates while steadily denying them the
promised relief. A parade OF good
intentions is absolutely worthless
when 1t leads to nothing. The entire
show has demonstrated that the atti-
tude Of the president end congress on
the tariff Is blend of incompetence
and false pretenses.-Chicago News.

No matter how much unfinished
work congress may have left in its
overlooking pigeon holes, the adjourn
ment OF the national legislature is
regretted by few.
What is the basis for the feeling
almost of contempt with which so
many good citizens regard this his
toric body. one of the foremost legis-
lativo assemblies OF the world?
Probably one reason Is that con-
gress does not regard its own dignity
highly. When congressman are seen
sitting with their feet on a desk. lol-
ling in attitudes OF disgust and con-
tempt, when scarcely a dozen mem
bers can be found willing TO listen 10
able speakers, are the galleries likely
TO yenerate the statesmen who take
themselves thus as a Joke?
Another reason Is that the great
newspapers give so little space TO re-
porting congressional debates. me
discussions of the British parliament
are fully reported by competent short
hand men. The average Washington
correspondent devotes most of his at
tention TO reporting the political strife
