What Gov. Sulzer Recommends.

The emphatic manner in which Gov.
Sulzer at once disposed of the efforts
of certain men to establish a bu-
reaucracy in the New York National
Guard, with possibilities of dragging
politics into military affairs, as well as
his action in reinstating Maj. Gen.
Organ as commander of the Artillery
Corps of the Guard, once more plainly
shows the mettle the new executive of
the Empire State is made of. 1t does
not speak we'll for Mr. Dix that during
the closing hours of his administration
he attempted to block his successors
progress by appointing a man to that
generalship who is unpopular and not
regarded as eligible.
Mr.. Sulzer has his finger on the pulse
OF the people and was wise in re-
pudiating the appointment. If there
is any ground for the charges OF
financial irregularities in the accounts
of the organization which Gen. Organ
commands, charges which developed in
the closing hours of the administra-
ton which, it is declared, had done
much to retard the progress of the
Guard, no doubt Gov. Sulzer will be
as emphatic in having them investi-
gated, as he was 10 see justice done in
the case of the deposed major general.
Gov. Sulzer's message reflected the
public sentiment which colored three
national platforms last summer, and
which permeates public feeling about
all governmental and commercial mat
tiers, that more should be done for the
comfort and safety of the weaker men,
bers OF the community. Consequently,
while commencing the conservation of
our natural resources, he particularly
commends the conservation OF our hu.
man resources. The living wage; in
creased powers for the Department of
Labor; the enforcement of safety ap-
pliances; the protection of laborers,
lfOlS CSpCNldiN NOiiISH anu NiillAl Sh,
from excessive fatigue, from unwhole-
some surroundings, and from immoral
or insanitary conditions-these and
similar subjects he urges upon the at
tention of the Legislature
His other recommendations are such
as nonpartisan sentiment generally has
approved or 10 which the Democratic
party has committed itself. The direct
election OF Senators he approves. We
have little expectation of any reduction
in the cost of living as result OF any
thing that the Legislature at Albany
might accomplish, but the Governor in
vites that body to consider the sub
ject and see whether it could do any
thing. The improvement of the direct
primary system, the greater efficiency
of the civil service system. the promo
ton of farmers interests, and espe-
cially the provision of agricultural
credit, and home rule for counties and
Gowns, are the subjects of other sec
lions of the message of the man who
wore a soft hat and old gray suit at
his Inauguration, but who is pre-emi-
nently the representative of the rank
and file of the people.

% London. January 3-The ninth session

FIXES HEAVY BAIL
FOR DYNAMITERS
Judse Baker Admits Prisoners to Bail
Of $10,0oo for Each Year
of Sentence.

chicago, Jan. 5.-Judge F. Z. Baker
in the United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peaIs to-day decided that the labor lead
ers convicted In Indianapolis OF dyna-
mite outrages and now in the Leaven-
worth Federal prison should be admitted
10 bail pending their appeal TO the high
est court. Judge Baker fixed the amount
of bail at $4,000 for each year that the
labor men were sentenced. Frank NJ
Ryan.s bail therefore will be $4,000. He
was sentenced to serve seven years
LAWYERS for the defense said that
money enough to, secure the release of
all the men on bail would be forthcoming
at once.
The bonds are among the heaviest ever
fixed by the Federal courts In Chicago.
Judge Baker called attention to the TACT
that the crime of conspiracy for which
the men were convicted Is not numbered
AGAINST the extraditable offenses.
asIf these men leave the jurisdiction
thew cannot be brought back. Therefore
their bail should be heavy-sle.ooo for
each year of sentences" Judge Baker
ruled.
Herbert S. Hockin, the former secre-
tary, was not included In the order.
which covered thirty-two men.

Mondays for Holidays.

The proposition that all holidays should
fall on Monday is again made, and is
enthusiastically indorsed by the people
who like to have two days come together.
This happens Just often enough to whet
the appetite for more happenings of the
same kind. And yet IL storekeepers and
manufacturers were consulted, many OF
them would say that 1t takes Tuesday
in such cases to get over the effects OF
their double holiday. 1t would be wiser,
in some ways. to have the holidays all
come on Saturday. And then people
would have Sunday in which to get over
the effects Of Saturday. But then the
merchants would lose their best day. So
what is to be done. except TO take things
as they come. :

Prof. Emery on the Tariff.

In the Yale Review, Prof. ii. L.
Emery, of Yale, chairman of Presi-
dent Taft's tariff board, makes strong
statement regarding the tariff board or
commission method of approaching the
difficult task of revision. 1t has been
asserted by those who are hostile to
tariff boards that, inasmuch as the
Democrats are disregarding the prin-
ciple of protection and are to revise
the tariff with the single object OF
raising revenue, the work may be ac-
complished without the aid OF the in
gestigators. On this head Prof. Emery
says:
Where it is proposed 10 levy import
duties on many hundreds of different
articles, even for the purpose OF reve-
nuc only. a careful and unbiased in
vestigation into costs and prices IS
lust as necessary for wise action as
it would be if such duties were TO be
levied for the purpose OF combining
protection with revenue.
Prof. Emery asserts that the Demo
Gratis have an extremely difficult task
before them. The public looks to them
to make good their pledges and to
bring the prices on necessities Of life
down TO their former Level This can
be dorc IN "a" (. way uussures." In
some instzuecs E-rat reductions will
aot aEeet the price. because the cost
znd price OF some articles arc as high
Hefc as abroad. and in ot:er instances
sezrrs reductions probably would

dus z. 0-. at any rate, fail to produce
Tevenue wEi-h must bs had The prob
TEN is rr- # i1tricaoy and Of the
e!iaEac-sr ~h.-a demands thorough in
yestigatlon.
Nor has Mr. Underwood's theory of
a competitive tariff removed the diff
culties, in Prof Emery's opinion. Mr..
Underwood defines a competitive tariff
as one that allows sufficient import
of every product made in the United
States to be imported from abroad to
bring about fair and honest competi-
tions" How is the duty to be fixed
that will permit this adjustment? Guess
work will be hazardous in determining
the measure of reduction and the class
of articles to be included in the re-
vision. If the competitive proposal is
logically lived up to, it will involve
a consideration of the cost of produc-
ton The inference is that the facts
for the guidance of Congress should
be gathered by nonpartisan board
of experts.
The reason why the Democrats are
opposed to the tariff board plan is that
If is a Republican plan and also, as
Prof. Emery notes, that the Repub-
licans were so derelict in doing their
duty that their tariff revision profes-
sions were discredited. The prospect
of tariff revision has occasioned no
alarm, because the men who are to
control the operation are among the
most moderate and cautious and also
because, as Prof Emery declares, the
importance of the tariff for either
coed or evil is exaggerated" 1t is
no longer possible to deceive the public
with the idea that any lowering of the
tariff was fraught with menace; and
on the other hand, even should the
most equitable reductions be made,
those who are looking for a lowering of
prices all along the line likely are to
be disappointed.

vided he can make q success of 1t.
Political Career Closed.
The retirement OF Senator Bailey
marks the close of one Of the most re-
markable political careers in the history
OF Congress. For more than twenty
three years Senator Bailey has served
his party in the halls of the Lower and
Upper House. Espousing the cause OF
Democracy, he entered Congress as a
Representative from the Fifth Texas dis
trict while yet but twenty-ssven years
old. and In a short time had climbed the
ladder of fame in the Lower House 10
the Speakership.
Senator Bailey's career in the Upper
House has been fraught with praise and
condemnation.
Twice, in the Legislature of his home
State. he has been accused of affiliation
with interests detrimental to public well
fare. On one occasion the people Of his
State voted upon his acts and passed
fo hrfr

companies of the Standard Oil
Champion of Lorimer.
Senator Bailey championed the cause
OF Senator Lorimer. but despite his able
efforts the Illinois Senator finally went
down to defeat. and was expelled from
the Senate.
Senator Bailey was born in Copiah
County. Miss, on october s. 1855 He
vas educated in the common schools,
later entering the University of Missis-
s!ppi, where he was requested to resign
because Of a student escapade in his
sophomore year. He then spent a year
