If President Taft's conscience did not
smite him sorely and If he felt no
qualm of misgiving when he read the
report of his tariff commission on the
cotton industry then his feelings must
be leathery indeed.
Last summer congress passed bill
cutting the cotton duties, and President
Taft promptly vetoed it, thereby deny
ing the American people the relief
which the tariff board report shows
they have needed for many years.
As in the case of the wool bill which
Taft also vetoed, the report Of the COM
mission fully justif1es the cuts made
by the democrats. 1t justifies those
who attacked the president for
his veto. of this legislation, and it leaves
him in position, utterly defenseless.
He charged the democrats with pass
ing these tariff revision bill for politi-
cal purpose. What answer can he make
now, in the light of the tariff commits
sion's resort to the charge that he
vetoed these bills for political purposes?
And that's a charge vastly kinder than
the charge that he vetoed them to pro-
tect the cotton and wooden manufac-
turers in the enjoyment of their wicked
profits, gained at the cost of great suf-
fering among consumers and gigantic
debauchery of legislative and political
agencies.
Though the cotton schedules are tall
and the cotton tariff tax burdensome,
the report of the tarir board shows that
absolutely no protection at all is needed
by the cotton industry, because 1t is
cheaper to produce cotton goods here
than 1t is abroad.
Yet labor in the cotton mills Is miser-
ably paid, and the American consumer
pays in many cases a hundred per cent
more than the consumer elsewhere.
The sole fruit of the. protective tariff
on cotton manufacturers is the fat
dividend Of the manufacturer; and in
vetoing the cotton bill last summer
President Taft left himself in the most
unpleasant conspicuous position of
guardian Of those dividends and first
aid to greed and oppression.
Even as dangerous to the Taft posi-
tion as the report of the tariff COM
mission is, it is said on good authority
that the influence of standpatters,
trembling for its effect on them and on
the president and on their cause, was
successful in having it tanned down to
a considerable extent. But 1t Is bad
enough as 1t is. 1t makes the Taft veto
of the cotton bill look like crime.
1t puts the president in a dangerous
and defenseless position. 1t will ag-
'gravate the public Indignation over the
continuous failure Of tariff legislation,
and 1t will center all of that indigna-
tion upon him.

Every American citizen owes a part
of his time and talents to the service
Of the state. The history Of both Great
Britain and the United States demon
strates that in country whose insti-
tutions are based on popular suffrage
the government is a government by
parties. Some very good men have
been opposed to political parties, among
them George Washington. History
teaches that In a representative govern
ment there should be always two great
parties. and only two. 1t teaches fur
ther that in a long lapse Of years one
party will run the country about as
long as the other.
when President Taft was sworn in
on the fourth day of March. 1909, the
government had existed under the con-
stitution 120 years. OF that period the
democrats had run 1t exactly one-half
of the time and the three great parties
which first and last have been opposed
to the democratic party have run 1t the
other haif-that is, II you count ~ohn
Quincy Adams as a democrat, John Ty-
Ter as a whig and Andrew johnson as
a republican. 1t is extremely difficult
to place these three men politically, but
John Quincy Adams ran as a republican
or democrat. John Tyler was elected as
a whig and Andrew Johnson was elect

THE sQUAw MAN.

ON Saturday evening of this week
The Squaw Man" will be presented at
the Grand opera house In Colville. This
Is play that Will live forever, because
1t Is mertorious. 1t was written by
Edwin Milton Royle, and will be pro-
duced In Colville by. Clarance Bennett
& Company. This troupe is composed
of talented people who hold audiences
spellbound.
Since It's production "The Squaw
Man" has been meeting with a volume
Of success such as has not been accord
ed any other legitimate drama present
ed in recent years. In every city In
America 1t has created a furore and
success has been indelibly stamped all
over 1t by the theater-going public.
Clarence Bennett a. Company have
given their usual studious attention to
the scenic and costume equipment of
the play, and the large capable company
OF players who are engaged to interpret
the various roles assure a worthy pre-
sentation of this well known piece.
The history Of the American stage
records few successes that are in any
way comparable with that of the Edwin
Milton Royle masterpiece--for a mas
terpiece 1t surely is-"The Squaw Man"
1t is one thing to write plaX that
shall be classed for a .transitory sea-
son or two as hit but quite another
In these days of tickle public fancy, to
turn out one that vigorously outlaSs
the changing fads of the period as has
this marvelously charming play of the
cattle country.

All commercial clubs of Stevens
county should have a good representa-
tion at the Marcus meeting of the
federated clubs on May II. Several
matters of Importance will be presented
and discussed.
Some of the local clubs of the county
have taken exceptions to the endorse
ment of the resolution passed at the
Kettle Falls meeting favorlng a parce' s
post bill, claiming that due considera-
tion was not given the question before
passing the resolution.
President Parks has granted the re-
quest for discussion Of the question,
and 1t is expected there Will be some
lively debates.
The Marcus Club has already appoint
ed committee on arrangements, and
there Is no doubt but what delegates
and visitors Will be royalty entertained.
1t Will be well worth while to every
booster to attend this meeting.

Democratic County Platform

1.-The democratic party Of Stevens
county reaffirms its allegiance to the
progressive principles of the democratic
party as enunciated for years by that
great commoner William Jennings
Bryan, and on this birthday anniversary
of tile father of democracy in this
nation we pledge ourselves to renewed
efforts to secure a progressive democ-
racy-a government for md by ALL
the people. 't'
I'VE glory in the good work which
has been done for the interest of the
people by the democratic house of rep
resentatives, and denounce the spirit
of reaction which caused the ' eto Of the
reduced tariff bills and the farmers
free list bill.
with the knowledge that the demo-
cratic party is the only party today
which has kept it's pledges when In
power, we demand that the party be
given the opportunity to pass progress
sive legislation and see it enacted with
out the veto power of a Wall street
sympathizer.
1--WE recommend that tie Stevens
county delegation to the state conven-
tion be instructed to vote for national
delegation from this state which will
work and vote for the nomination of
a progressive democrat to head the
ticket of 1912.
1--WE favor the abolition Of the un-
necessary and expensive commission
systems which are now being used In
this state for political enIs; the sub
mission of a prohibitory amendment to
the voters, as advocated by the last
state platform; the conservation Of the
states resources by this state for the
heneft of the people of 'tcis state, as
opposed to the plan Of national conser-
yation of our resources for the benefit
of eastern monopolies; and the opening
to settlement. Of the states school lands,
to relieve part of the present ex-
orbitant burden of state taxation.
I'VE urge that every der,ocrat in the
county attend his primary election, to
the end that the best men in the party
may be placed upon the various tickets,
and the present excessive cost of con-
Quoting this state and county be cut to
a legitimate amount under administra-
tions of true public-spiritet progress
sives."

ed on the ticket with Abraham Lincoln.
So to the fourth of March, 1909, was
half and half, and 1t seems II is our
turn now.
Politics is a noble calling. 1t in
fiuences the prosperity and happiness
OF every human being betwix the two
seas. Every citizen should study the
great questions arising before the
American people with all the light he
can secure, and thus contribute his mite
to a proper solution of those questions
by placing good laws upon the statute
books. If needs be in order to promote
the public welfare he should unhesi-
tatingly become a candidate for office.
When in public Office he should relig-
iously fulfill the promises he had made
to the people In order to secure public
office.'-Champ Clark.

In each one of his 20 Ohio meetings
last month, w. j. Bryan stated this
THE real question Is whether the
government is to be run by the people,
in the interest of the people, or by Wall
street in the interest of Wall street."
Four years ago his slogan was
Shall the people ruler" This has been
adopted this year by Roosevelt. La
Toilette for years has preached the
same kind of doctrine, only in different
workings.
When these three men, all presiden
tial timber, unite on almost the same
idea, it shows that there is something
radically wrong with the Taft program,
for Taft has never In his life voiced
such an opinion.
Which kind of a man do you believe
would make the best president for YOU
and YOUR posterity? Wall street
knows. Do you?

Saving of time and expense and pro-
lection to the soil from injury by burn
/. ing are the chief features of a good
! plan to clear stump land.
The apparatus required is small en-
gine, an air compressor, costing about
/ s25, and two one and one-half inch
augers, of different lengths. The plan
is to bore down straight into the center
of the stump to the pith; fill the hole
/ with kerosene and ordinary saltpeter,
of a proportion of eight ounces of nitre
to a gallon of oil; plug and leave for a
month. Then fill again with the same
mixture and leave for another month.
Then bore another hole, obliquely
this time, and from a point near the
surface of the ground upward to join
With the vertical bore. Then start a
fire of dry pieces of wood. Within a
few weeks the stump will be destroyed
to the last root and without burning a
lot of good wood, while the soil will not
be hurt in the least.
There Is no doubt about the practical
bility of the plan. 1t has been tried
many times and with repeated sue
cess, while the cost Is within the reach
of all. An advantage in the method is
that little attention is required for each
stump, thus saving the time of the
clearer. In this way one man can clear
many stumps within short time. The
fact that 1t does not burn the soil
should particularly recommend the
method. Time and expense can also be
saved. Little or no wood is burnt in
the process. This can be saved for use
in stoves.
A fair trial of this method Is said to
convince the most skeptical there is a
way to clear cut-over timber land at
small cost.
