Presume the lateness of frost and ra-

Anxiety to gather early is creating a
spirit of competition among choppers,

that recurs annually, and is seeming

The Next House.

Mr. Wilson is justified in the interest
he is already showing in the arrange
ments for next years congressional CAM
paigns They will mean much to him and
to the democratic party. II the next
House is democratic the party will be
heartened for 1916: il republican. dis
heartened bit of history illustrates
the point.
Notwithstanding the overwhelming dem
ocratic victory OF 1892. the republicans
two years later carried the House. and
that foreshadowed the sweeping repub-
lican victory of 1896. After the condem-
nation OF the Gorman-W Wilson tariff law

whole Cleveland administration, the re-
pub1icans plucked up courage and squared
off for the next battle Thomas B. Reed
and William Mckinley went after" the
republican nomination for President in
the spirit of men confident that the nomi-
nation would mean election
In 1898 the republicans carried the
House for the third time running. The
issue in the main was the Dingley tariff
law. The people Endorsed the measure
and two years later the republicans car
ried both Congress and the presidency.
The congressional results of 1862 were
the forerunners OF the republican triumph
OF 1904. as those of 1906 were of Mr.
Taft's triumph in 1905
This brings us to 1910. when the re-
publicans lost the House. and some dis
enlargement set up in the ranks of the
party 1t was the first check the re-
publicans had met with in sixteen years:
and as they were still wrangling about
the Payne tariff Law their prospects for
1912 were gloomy. And. divided last wear.
partly by the tariff question and partly
by Mr.. Roosevelt's ambition, they were
voted out of power
As matters stand today the contest for
the next House will turn largely on the
Underwood tariff revision now taking
shape If that Is Endorsed at the polls,
the verdict will be read as bearing on
1916. and Mr.. Wilson and his friends will
move forward with assurance But if the
verdict is against the democrats and
business is not hourishing under the new
law. then days of gloom for the admin
istration will begin. and the next two

May Day.

From the Baltimore American.
The coming of May day brings with
1t little of the romantic open-air en-
jOyment that characterized the day in
the times Of merry England Yet the
festival is still fun OF it's former de-
light in many OF the remoter districts
of England into which the modern
spirit has not permeated. Had 1t not
been for the stern puritanical spirit
that was shocked by MortOn's Merry
Mount where that profiiSate troubler
of the elect carried on high jinks with
the Indians saturated with fire water,
there might have been wide diffusion
Of the May pole celebration in the
new world. But the May pole entered
under such dubious auspices as to make
1T anathema to the Puritan settlers. In
contrast to the former gentle delight of
the day and the observation with all the
innocent gayety that attended the
Roman carnivals of the spring div1nlties,
Nav day has now become in European
capitals and in industrial communities
a day for the expression Of discomfort
and for acts Of violence. A feeling OF
relief passes over such centers when the
day is over without serious bloodsheo

Congress and Taxation.

A good deal of the wrangling ABOUT
tariff commission. or a tariff board. is
profitless, and grows out Of a proposition
which in its original form was both alb
surd and impossible.
This was that the tariff be taken out OF
the hands of Congress and given to
tribunal created expressly to receive II.
1t was asserted without qualification that
the average Congress lacked the neces-
sary knowledge to deal inteliigently win
the subject, and that the public We1are
demanded the services Of experts. Let d
commission of experts, and not an incom-
petent body like Congress, revise the
tariff whenever occasion required.
This was not the outgiving of noisy
demagogue DESTROYS of attention and will
ing to adopt any means to attract 1t, but
of national convention of manufac-
turers discussing business interests. 9th
erwise, there would have been no echo
of the proposition. It's source gave II
momentary standing.
But only momentary. The point was
quickly and easily made that the taxing
power rested with Congress under the
Constitution. and could not be delegated;
and it VAS as easily shown that Congress
would not part with it's greatest power If
it could.
Then came a modified proposition. Let
a board of tariff experts be created, for
the purpose of collecting trade statistics
at home and abroad, and make report for
the assistance of Congress. This carried.
The board was appointed. and did good
deal of work in the line indicated.
But the work came to nothing, for two
reasons: ID The board having been APP
tagged as partisan by the democrats, and
e., The democrats coming into power in
the House insisted on making their own
investigations. In other words, the Taft
board was condemned BY the democrats
as leaning toward protection, when they
desired statistics which would assist them
in preparing a tariff for revenue only
Discussion will continue. and two things
will continue: Cd The tariff will remain
in politics. and CD The party charged
with tariff legislation will proceed &C
cording to the light it causes to be shed
on the subject. Mr.. Underwood rejects
the figures of the Taft board, and MIR.
Payne would reject the figures of a Will
son board.
1t is true, however, that in dealing with
a subject so complex and so far-reaching
in it's relation to business Congress should
have the largest measure of advice about
business conditions and prospects. and
weigh it in spirit Of conserving and en-
larging all legitimate American business
opportunities.
