Readers of the Spokesman-Revi W
no doubt have observed that within
the past few months that paper has
developed into a great defender of the
principle Of protective tariff. This be-
gan to be noticed about the time the
income tax method of raising revenue
for government expenses was assured
by the special session of the demo-
cratic congress. Now. be 1t remem-

PoiNDExTER AND THE PEOPLE.

The progressive party, as represent
ed in the United States senate exclu
sively by Miles Poindexter, is now on
record in favor of the democratic free
trade bill, position that is diametri-
cally opposed to the platform declar-
atoms Of the national organization and
denounced as vehemently by leading
progressives as by republicans. If the
progressive party is sincere in its de-
mand for a protective tariff, then the
vote of Poindexter for this free trade
measure should just as effectually
eliminate him from the progressive
party as he Is now eliminated from
the republican party.
The Underwood Simmons bill, for
which Senator Poindexter cast his
vote, either places on the free list
practically every product of the north
west OF reduces lAe tdElL W udu-
gerously narrow margin. His own
state of Washington will suffer ire
mendously through the operation Of
this bill. for it places the farmer in
open competition with the foreigner In
everything he produces.
But there is one consolation which
while 1t will not lessen the damaging
effects Of democratic free trade, will
make the affliction more easily borne
The free trade vote Of Miles Poin-
dexter insures his retirement to pri-
vate life at the end of his term. The
people of the state of Washington wiz
never give vote of confidence to one
who has so brazenly betrayed them.

THE FIRST STRAW,

The election last Monday In the
third congressional district Of Maine
Is significant Of the drift of political
sentiment throughout the country
The election was held to fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of demo-
cratic congressman from that dis
trict, but 1t attracted national atten-
ton because Of the effect of the re-
suit In reflecting popular sentiment
toward the Wilson administration.
That the president thoroughly recog
nized this Is shown by the fact that
he wrote a personal appeal to the
voters of the district in behalf Of the
democratic candidate, and sent Sec
rotary Bryan Speaker Clark and 9TH
er notables to save the district to the
democrats.
Last fall the democrats carried the
district, the vote for presidential elect
ors being as follows Wilson, 1862 !:
Roosevelt, 1926, Taft, 1859. With
such showing to their credit. the
progressives naturally wanted to vim
dictate themselves also by making a
showing of strength to the country,
and to that end ex-senator Beverage
and ex-Secretary Garfield, pillars of
progressiveism, were rushed to the
scene of action.
The republicans contented themsel-
YES with local speakers and few
congressional speakers from neighbor-
ing states. All speakers confined
themselves to national issues, princi-
pally the tariff question. for 1T was
clear that the democratic party was
on trial and that the result would be
a pronounced and reliable indication
Of the sentiment of the people toward
the policies of the party in power.
The returns record a decisive victory
for the republicans, reputation Vt
the democrats, and a complete knock
out for the progressives as party.
Here are the figures Peters, repubi-
can, 1876; Pattangall. democrat,
1859; Lawrence, progressive, 64S'.
Compare these figures with those
above and no one can fail to grasp
the significance of the change In pol
itical sentiment since last November.
The country has already had enough
Of democracy and the tide has already
turned. 1t is only necessary for re-
publicans to get together. and the
Maine election indicates that they are
doing that very thing.

LAFoLLETrE AND THE TARIFF.

No one who has closely watched
the career of Senator LaFollette will
be disposed to credit him with an I'M
selfish and patriotic purpose in cast
ing his vote for the Underwood Sim
mons bill He has always been at
loggerheads with his party In the sen
ate for no other reason than that re-
publican senators refused to accept his
peculiar ideas on all public questions
and follow his leadership. While Wig
orously proclaiming against the pol
itical boss, LaFollette has for years
been typical boss himself. LaFol-
lettism in Wisconsin Is nothing more
than an extreme example of machine
politics with LaFollette as the boss
The fact that he could not dominate
the republican party in the senate as
effectively as he controls the organi-
cation III MS own Sldlc Has always
been a bitter disappointment to the
Wisconsin senator, and his vote for
the democratic free trade bill comes
nearer being the outgrowth of sore
ness and resentment rather than TN
act Of unselfish patriotism.
But, whatever the motive of Senator
LaFollette, his act in abandoning his
party on this question which has al
ways been the dividing line between
the two great political organizations
removes him rs a factor in the rapidly
growing movement to reunite the re-
publican party, and as presidential
possibility even his few followers
throughout the country must now re-
gard him down and out.

WAGES AND EFFICIENCY.
portland Oregonian).

An explanation of the reason why
British workingmen receive much
lower wages than those Of the United
States is furnished by ]. Ellis Barber
in an article in the Fortnightly Re-
view entitled Great Britain's Poverty
and It's Cause" He shows that the
average weekly wages of the 4.656.915
adult working men in Great Britain
ARE only 30 shillings, or about $3.50 He
quotes figures from the British Board
of Trade report showing that in 1909
one person in Fl received aid under the
poor law. and he says that 80 per cent
of the British population lives ION
the verge of hunger The majority
of this 80 per cent, he says, consists,
not Of ''idlers, loafers, shirkers tramps
and professional beggars but of work
ers engaged in wealth. producing in
dustries.'
| Mr.. BARRIERS explanation of this
poverty is that, because labor is cheap
British industries rely largely on hand
labor. The population of the United
Kingdom is about half that of the
United States. but much larger pro-
lportion Is employed in factories, yet
the total horsepower used in manu-
featuring in Great Britain is only 81
0S3,341, while in the United States it
is 1S,675,376. He, therefore, attributes
low wages and consequent low stan
dards Of living in Great Britain to in
efficiency Of production. AS almost Ill
industry in China and India is moved
by hand, so are wages much lower in
those countries than ir England. The
great wealth and high wages of the
United States are attributed by Mr.
Barber to the unceasing improvement
and to the superior productive capac-
| ity of our labor saving machinery. He
proves this by showing the compare
tive production per man in the lead
ing industries of the two countries. He
gives few illustrations as follows:
Daily Output Per Man
| Industry CT. Britain U. s.
Boots and shoes ........$2.2S sos
Cardboard boxes ........ 1873 $3.50
Cement .....,.. ........ 2.52 6.1S
Clothing .... .... 210 $3.50
| Thus the low wages Of Great Brit
ain have tempted manufacturers to
hold down efficiency by employing
hand labor, where by employing ma
chinery they could SO increase eff
cheney as to increase production and
thereby increase both wages and pro-
fits. The high wages prevailing in the
United States have prompted manu-
facturers to substitute machinery for
hand labor. They have thereby been
enabled to increase production per
man enormously and consequently ia
continue paying high wages and to
make large profits. The British manu-
facturer lives down to his low wage
scale and holds down his workmen
by so doing. The American manufact-
urer lives up to his high wage scale
and holds his workmen up to the STAN
dard which he sets. High wages are a
spur to, low wages are a drag on, eff
hciency in both employer and work.

An optimistic statement of this coun-

afterward returning to his hotel, where
he gave out his statement before his
departure for his home In Boston. 1t
is his intention to resume his business
occupations. he said.
The statement follows:
when I left st. Petersburg our inter
national relations We're, / think. as salts
factory as could possibly be expected
in the absence of any treaty.
No Boycott on American Goods.
Russia has felt herself encouraged in
her contention by the official and public
refusal of the English and of the French
government last fall to consider the alb
rogation of their respective treaties with
the imperial government. though both
were petitioned to follow the example
of the United States, and for the same
reason, the restrictions placed by Russia
without distinction of nationality on all
foreign Hebrews.
.Still. in exchange for the liberal policy
pursued by the United States toward Rus
sian subjects, We have been able in spite
of local agitation in Russia to avoid any
boycott on American merchandise. The
Russian collectors of customs have been
instructed until otherwise ordered. to
continue the same rates of duty on
American imports as those imposed on
imports from other countries American
travellers and business men are given the
same privileges as before. being treated
like those coming from elsewhere.
American Hebrews May Enter.

continues to be true that any American

law and who can show that he has legit-
innate business in Russia Ito buy or sell
goods, to make financial settlements.
