WILSON'S UTTERANcEs ON THE
TARIFF SHOW IGNORANCE OR
LACK OF COURAGE.
AIMS TO PLEASE ALL GROUPS
Democratic Candidates Pronounce.
ments Differ From One Another
RadIcaIly-Keeplno the Way Open
for Retreat In Case Of Necessity.

Governor Wilson's second important
atterance on the tariff is entirely diff
ferent from his first Many will think
farmers fair he told his hearers that
whereas they own a big house." they
have "let the other fellow live In it,
His advice was that they proceed To
break into their own house and live in
it." It Is an interesting fact that on this
occasion he, before speaking, tore his
manuscript to "shreds." In his speech
Of acceptance. he urged that those who
would revise the tariff should go about
It as men who understand what they
are doing" But that speech was care
fully read word for word
What does Mr.. Wilson mean by his
new utterance? The tariff. says the
candidate "smothers us" and must
be thrown of Elsewhere It is like a
great dam" hemming In national
energy. and must be broken through.
How to throw of" the tariff. or how
to break through" 1t. and the means
to adopt in either case are sighted
over If this is Mr.. Wilson's own
philosophy on the tariff question, seri-
ously meant and seriously applied, It
must point to a wholly reckless point
Of view. Compared with the equally
vague but comfortably conservative
platitudes of the earlier speech, II
seems alarming.
There is little field for purely meta
phorical discussion OF the tariff. and
a resort to 1t at least suggests a lack
Of information or of courage. Per-
haps the candidate talks conserya-
tive and meaningless phrases when he
equally meaningless words when he
wishes to arouse and alarm. But the
result Is much the same. He is not
affording the light and leading on
the issue which the country and,
above all. his own party had a right
to expect.
There is no excuse for this kind OF
evasion. For three years congress has
been dealing in this sort Of political
counterfeit, Nothing has been accom-
plished except the passage of some
fictitious measures intended to embar-
rass the president and mislead the
country. But the discussion has suf-
feed to bring to the front some seri-
Gus divisions in the Democratic ranks.
That Mr.. Wilson is aware Of these diff
ferences. that they have even been
dinned into his ears by the conflicting
groups themselves is common knowl-
edge. The most powerful men of the
various factions have made pilgrim
ages to Sea Grit to urge their own
particular brand of tariff views. Still
others. who are primarily political
managers and not commercial agents
in disguise. have demanded a middle
course. This latter seems to be the

BISHOP GRAF TON OF
FOND DU LAG DEAD
Episcopal Church PreIate Sue.
Cumbs to Diabetes.
IN PRIESTHOOD 50 YEARS
AS Leader of High Church Ideas He
Became Renowned and Served
Many Big Parishes-Became Bishop
of Fond du Lac in 1889.

Fond du Lac.-Bishop Grafton,
head of the Fond du Lac diocese of
the Episcopal church in Wisconsin,
died at the rectory on Arg. 80. He
had been i'll since February with dia-
betes He was SO years old, and had
been a priest for fifty-three years.
The end came quietly. The aged
prelate had been in critical condi-
tion for many days. during which
time physicians at his bedside said
he could not survive.
The Right Rev. Charles Chapman
Grafton, bishop of the diocese of
Fond du Lac, for almost a quarter
of a century, widely known as the
leading exponent of the high church
idea in America, and famous in ear
iy life by reason of his labor of
sacrifice and love in the slums of
London, and his work as volunteer
chaplain to q cholera hospital in
shoreditch, was born in Boston,
Mass, on April IL, 1890
On May IS, 1851, he was con-
frmed at st. Stephens chapel and
later in that same year entered the
Harvard law school, receiving his de-
gree of LIB. on July 20, 1853. 1t
was While pursuing his law studies
at Harvard that he determined to
offer himself for holy orders to Bish-
OPP Nottingham of Maryland. He
was admitted to the Holy Order of
Deacons in the Church of Christ on
Dec. %, 1866, and was ordained to
the priesthood by Bishop Whiting
ham on May 80, 1858, in st. PauTs,
Baltimore.
In 1853 Grafton became assistant
minister in King and Queen parish,
Chaptico, and in 1859 he was called
to be curate of st. Paul's church, Bal
timore. FIR. Grafton remained at st.
Pauls church until 1865, when he
went to England and took leading
part in organizing the great London
mission
On Nov. 10, 1883, DIR. Grafton was
elected bishop of the diocese of Fond
du Lac, and on April 25, 1889, the
conservation took place in st. Paurs
cathedral, this city.
Bishop Grafton was the author of
about a dozen books, as well as of
great number of tracts and pamph-
lets. His last important work was
THE Lineage of the American Cath
Ollie Church, published in 1911.
Bishop Grafton was one of the few
Episcopal clergymen in America who
wore the clerical garb as it was worn
by the churchmen in England. Dur
ing the latter years of his life he
wore the ordinary dress of a bishop.
While at home he was attired in a
purple robe and vest. On the street
ne wore long black coat and a
bishops apron, tight knee breeches
with leggings, fastened down the
sides with row of black buttons.

UNCERTAIN ON THE TARIFF
Roosevelt Adopts Tafrs Revision
Method and Makes Vague Prom
lses About Control Of Business.

On the tariff Colonel Roosevelt is
vague and uncertain. He adopts, al
most without the change of a line or
syllable. President Taft's method OF
revision only after expert, non-parti-
san investigation, and then bids for
popular support on the pretense that
he will In some way not defined see
that the protection to be afforded to
our industries shall be equitably d.
vided between the employer and the
employed. This is to be done, APP
parently, by some sort of government
regulation and control of the business
Of the country, but the colonei's own
past and present relations with the
steel trust and the harvester trust
fail to be convincing as to the entire
impartiality Of any ccdtrol in which
he might have a hand. His awakened
interest In the tariff Is so sudden and
u 70 such marked contrast to bis atti-
tude during the Seven pears when he
might have Influenced the action Of a
Republican congress, that the thought
full public will be justified in looking
askance at promises SO plainly direct
ed to catch gudgeons.
So also the student OF contempt
rary economies will fail to find in the
colonel's appeal for votes any guiding
light on the vital subject OF currency
reform. We want. OF course. a sound
and flexible currency, we want finan-
cial control wrested from wall
street." we want the best money sys-
tenn in the world--ali these are pri-
mary facts not in dispute, but all that
the colonel Is able to say with any
clarity is that he does not approve Of
all the recommendation of the
monetary commission, though he
thinks the reports OF that commission
are SO valuable that they ought to be
more widely disseminated among the
people. II the colonel's promises are
like his performances when bs had the
opportunity to accomplish something.
they are quite as hollow and untruAt-
worthy as are the planks of the old
parties in which he places so little
faith The old parties with all their
faults have at least a record OF
achievement. For these the colonel
would substitute new promises, ignor-
ing his own record Of broken pledges.
How he can honestly believe in his
own sincerity Is one Of the puzzles
which will perplex the future political
historian of the United States.
