Street Explosions.

Time was when the sound of an explo

an immediate craning of nccks and =

and inasmuch as guns are not fired in

plenty of people round about to lend as

extraordinarily conflicting testimony later

Peace Promotion.

Reports OF the proceedings at Geneva
OF the International Peace Congress are
not conducive of belief in the efficacy
OF this method OF establishing harmony
throughout the world between the ma
tions. From the outset of the meeting
there has been friction. The congress has
divided into groups, each intent upon it's
particular plan for the promotion of peace
aud 80 confident that its own view is cor
rect that it is wiling to fight for it. AS
a result the proceedings have been de-
CHedty stormy, and one of the speakers

British and American Industries.

The London newspapers are puZIllnS
over Mr. Wilson's tariff views as indus
triously as the American newspapers. Is
the man free-trader? And will his
election signify the taking of an i'm
portant step toward free trade by this
country?
\ London cable states that while Eng
lish newspapers generally find it diff
cult to reconcile Gov. Wilson'S various
statements on the subject all assume
that the election of a President who is
at heart a free-trader cannot but be
beneficial to British industries
our British friends should not be too
sure of this. There is vast difference
between tariff proclamation and tariff
performance in American politics. just
now the republicans are under censure
ON this score. Public opinion as eX-
pressed at the polls has declared that
the Payne law is not the proper redemp-
ton of th. republican tariff promise of
1905. But eighteen years ago the demo-
Gratis failed quite as conspicuously, and
paid quite as severe penalty. The Cor
man Wilson tariff law was declared to be
not the proper redemption of the demo-
cratic tariff of 1892.
Mr. Wilson. after the fashion of Mr..
Watterson and Mr.. Bryan, has fulm-
mated against protection, and painted in
high colors the beauties of tariff for
revenue only. But if he reaches the
White House he will take water, just as
those two distinguished gentlemen have
done Mr.. Bryan a member of the
Fifty-third House Helped prepare and
voted for the Wilson tariff bill, which
was stuffed with protection, while Mr..
Watterson has SO softened toward his
old enemies, the "robber barons," that,
instead of drawing and Quartering them.
he would now nurse them carefully, and
make them safe against any violent jar.
They really are not such bad fellows
after all. Only little spoiled from long
indulgence.
Action beneficial to British industries
al the expense of American industries is
not the card of any party in this
country. Uncle Sam has the call on his
own. and will keep it not matter what the
November verdict may be. A demo-
cratic victory utilized to depress Ameri-
can productions and benefit those of
Great Britain, Germany or France
would raise a storm by comparison with
which that raised under the second
Cleveland administration would appear
as a zephyr.
Protection as an American policy is not
approaching its end. All it needs is re-
adjustment on the lines laid down by Mr.
Mckinley at Buffalo in 1901; and al
though that has been made more difficult
by Mr.. Roosevelt's inactivity while
President. it can be accomplished Our
British friends may dream their dreams,
but their American cousins know their
own interests and will provide for them

the purposes of Mr.. Spreckels and his
coadjutors.
Now Mr.. Wilson is a democrat, is the
candidate of the democratic party for
President and If elected will be under
obligations to give the country an admin
istration shaped according to the party
chart His ca binet advisers will be DEM
ocrats. and if. as democrats are now eX-
pecting the two houses of Congress are
democratic the whole course of things
will be democratic.
Let us suppose successful four years,
and. as result, the denomination of Mr.
Wilson by reclamation Will Mr..
Spreckcls and his friends again support
Mr. Wilson as against the republican
nominee" Why not" If Mr.. Wilson in
office has proved himself progressive. and
secured progressive legislation after the
SpreckeIs notion. why should he not have
a second term" And if Mr.. Spreckels
and his friends appear the second time In
the democratic camp. how much republl-
canism will remain in their composition.
Mr. Bryan has said of the second Cleve-
land campaign that it was bunco game.
He had reference to the fact that silver
democrats and gold democrats, protection
united TO put Mr.. Cleveland in office, each
faction expecting to get the better of the
opposing faction in the arrangement. The
silver men were assured that 1.-The fair
thing would he done by silver. while the
gold men We're assured that the single,
gold standard would prevail. Free trad
ers jubilated. and protectionists were un-
alarmed. The result after election day
was general confusion. and the sending

years.

hind Mr.. Wilson to hold together under

much less experience and possesses much

I'M the Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican.
Hypocrisy, said witty mOralist. is the
tribute Of vice to virtue. Nowadays lust
of conquest pays tribute to modern
sentiment against war by circulating
ugly stories about the country which it
is proposed to absorb. We have come on
since the days of the wolf and the lamb
downstream which defiled the water; in
these humane and hygienc days the
wolf would have annexed the lamb under
color of guarding the public welfare,
Thus we have the grotesque spectacle
of Russia accusing China of barbarities
i'll Mongolia, which Russia wants. while
at the same time Russia is being ac-
cused of frightful atrocities in Persia
The anaconda beslavers it's prey before
swallowing 1t: when a systematic cam
paign of vilitication of a weak and re-
mote country begins, it is time to ex-
pect benevolent assimilation. Statesmen
have learned the great lesson that while
the world nowadays is shocked by
shocked by stories of lawless violence
too numb and confused to protest when
the guns begin to shoot. Unfortunately
the very best and kindest of people can
thus be made innocently to favor selfish
and wicked schemes. News of this char
acter ought to be taken with extreme
caution when it comes from source
which is not above suspicion, and pri-
vate interests well as governments are
quite capable of circulating stories of
hideOuS atrocities in order to stir up
humanitarian feeling. China is not the
only country to suffer this sort of yiltica-
ton.

Bosses.

In defining a boss To the students at
Princeton Tuesday Mr. Wilson said The
boss merely a political organizer is
not dangerous: merely as a manager who
commands the organization and gets out
the vote on polling day is not TO he
feared. and he is an almost necessary
instrument of politics.
That is TO say, when James Smith. ir..
was organizing the New Jersey democ-
raCy for Mr.. Wilson two years ago he
was not dangerous. and when he pro-
duced the organization men on polling
day and elected Mr.. Wilson governor he
performed a patriotic duty. When did
Mr. Smith become dangerous? When he
wanted to share the fruits of his own
activity. His services to MIR. Wilson were
most praiseworthY. His desire for office
for himself was an evidence of I'M
wort Illness
This accords with Mr. Roosevelts no
ton. He recognizes the necessity for
bosses. but they must he his bosses. Let
the boss boss for him and he is all right;
but let him ESSAY n little bossine for him
self and he is all wrong What meri-
torious men BARNES. Pcnrose. Cox. ct al,
would ne today IL they were bessing. as

welt,
As the country We'll understands. Mr.
Roosevelt has no just quarrel with the
bosses. He has always kept their com
pany. and has at this hour bosses work
ing for him. He is the chief of bosses.
No political leader in our history has
shown greater taste or talent for boss
ship.
Is Air. Wilson like unto him? 1t be-
gins TO look so. In his two years of
polit cal life Mr.. Wilson has manifested
been displaying in his thirty years. He
believes in organizers. but only when
they organize for him. He wants the
party managers To get out the vote, but
for lis benefit Let them not ask any
thins for themselves beyond what he is
willing to grant. \ boss work for his
chief must be. like virtue, it's own re-
ward
Mr.. Taft has no record as a boss. In
deed the complaint is. even in pre-
tended anti-boss circles, that he does not
know the same. He is under denuncia-
ton for not bossing Congress when the
Payne tariff bill was passing through
He is as much as told by his demo-
cratic opponents that had he bossed that
job properly lie would probabl be now
safely on the road TO reelection. Which
shows that a good deal of the anti-boss
talk deserves the word Mr. Wilson for
years applied to Organism Coming from
such sources, it is bosh.

As It Sometimes Happens.

Oh, the things that we say
With fight under way
Are distinguished by terrible rancor.
The old Ship Of State
Strikes a perilous gait
And she seems to be dragging her anchor.
We use each harsh word
That we ever have heard
And invent what we cannot remember:
We rage and we storm
With our epithets warm
And We'll keep it up clear to November,
But we've always done SO,
AS the records will show;
The tierceness of every grafton
Is a recognized part
OF political art
And, to some extent, discrimination.
When they've finished the game
And the once angry flame
Is no more than a Pickering ember,
We may leave to the past
The rhetorical blast
And shake hands all around by December.
