tuted a tistoric spectacle, and stood in
striking contrast to the 'perfidy and
dishoner" situation that sturdy Grover
Cleveland burned into the history Of
tariff legislation. Where the last dem
ocratic president had failed the present
one has achieved. The democracy is
progressive party to- day and one able
to stick together and write its policies
into the law Of the land.
The progress Of this great measure of
legislation establishes the adequacy Of
President Wilson's leadership. That
which was promised by the outcome of
the Baltimore convention has been so
far accomplished, and to this extent the
hope Of the people has been achieved
and not denied The senators from
Louisiana went with their state, quite
after the fashion of antebellum times
but LA Toilette of Wisconsin made
good his promise to train with Presi-
dent Wilson along progressive lines
when he could. poindexter Of Wash
ington, the progressive senator, carry
ing less moral weight than Fighting
Bob" has come tG stand for, also voted
for the democratic bill. The margin of
victory was ample, and good temper
prevailed as the long legislature battle
was decided. Such an outcome has
long been seen to be inevitable, but
none the less is the accomplishment
worth celebrating. 1t has brought the
democratic party to its first great mile
stone in the discharge Of the RESPONSE
blity which the people have committed
to it. That will give hope and conf
dence to its members that the rest of
the Wilson program is possible of at
tainment, and 40 to be expected.
Without threat or buster, steadily
and surely the president has been work
ing with and leading his party in Con
gress. The critics have been active,
bnt the march has not faltered or wav
cred. Qualities of mastership that
were successful in New Jersey have not
proved inadequate in the environment
OF Washington. Much more there is to
be done, but the prospects of achieving
1t are enhanced by the spectacle which
the country was afforded yesterday

TRAW IN HANDS OF
FEDERAL MARSHALL
Wins Indefinite Suspension Of
Writ in u. S. Court.

Littleton, N. II. Sept. 17.-Counsel
contended for before United States
District Judge Edgar Aldrich. The
hearing on the writ of habeas corpus
on which Thaw appeared in court
here was suspended indefinitely and
the suggestion of William Travers
bad faith was pretty summarily quash-
ed Furthermore Thaw's lawyers
managed to persuade Governor Falker
to postpone hearing on the question
of Thaw's eXtradition until next Tues.
day. Thaw is now prisoner of the
United States government. He was
remanded to the custody of Marshal
e. p Mute and locked up in Thayer's
hotel, the best in town. BY mutual
agreement between Judge Aldrich,
MIR. Jerome and counsel for Thaw, the
hearing of the writ will be postponed
until after Governor Felker has either
decided to eXtradite Thaw or to give
him his liberty in this state
Should Governor Felker refuse to
extradite him the writ issued by
Judge Aldrich will be automatically
dropped and there will be nothing for
the New York officers to do but go
back to New York empty handed.
This at least is what Jerome himself
said.
On the other hand should he sign
an executive warrant for Thaw's ex.
tradition the writ will be continued
on an amended basis and if eventually
it is dismissed by Judge Aldrich an
appear may be taken to the supreme
court of the United States

VOTED RIGHT.

Senator LaFollette went Democratic
and voted to repeal the Payne Aldrich
tariff law by the enactment of the I'M
derwood bill, Very many commend his
action; but some do not Regular Re-
publicans hold 1t up against him. One
editor up the state says that it removes
LaFollette from the list of eligibles for
the presidential nomination in 1916
Another quotes this approvingly and
adds that "he is removed all right. ;"
And 80 the Standpat comment goes.
One of the best known of the pioneer
Democrats of Wisconsin was the late j =.
Montgomery Smith of Mineral Point
lie was n big man, and he was thor
ough Democrat, through and through
He saw much of the amusing side of
life. And during his later years what
amused him most of all in politics was
the contest between the Stalwart Re
publicans and LaFollette Mr. Smith
would smile broad smile, and tell
how often old time Republican leaders
claimed that they had LaFollette dead
and buried, and how often again he
would rise up to always plague and
often discomtit them
The contest which SO amused our good
old Democratic friend still goes on; and
the outcome is still uncertain. But
every patriotic, forward looking man
should rejoice in every vote cast for the
Underwood bill. In voting for it the
Democratic majority and LaFollette
and Pointdexter we'll served the nation.
They all deserve praise; and not blame.

MAY BUILD SHIPS
IN BOSTON YARD
New York Navy Yard Too Small
For Such Work

Because of the restricted area or
the New York navy yard the navy
department is considering plan
virtually to relegate it to a repair
station and delegate the active work
of building warships to the Boston
yard.
1t is considered that the New York
yard possesses certain military as well
as industrial weakness. The military
weakness is its territory limitation
which precludes the yards develop
ment as a ship building station of the
first order.
1t is believed that with the Boston
yard fitted up as a central boat build
ing yard it would be possible in an
emergency to ship boat from Boston
to New Yorl; in one day. Extensive
boat building is believed unnecessary
under the conditions existing at the
New York yard, even though certain
classes OF boats can be built more
cheaply there than elsewhere.
1t is proposed to reduce the
strength CT the detachment of marines
at the New York yard to one company
Of efficiency. This would enable the
activities OF the receiving ship to be
carried out in the barracks.
To increase floor area for industrial
purposes, it is proposed to transfer
such activities as boat building to the
Boston yard.

Patience.

Success is not a thing to be
Attained by idle wishing.
The largest fishes in the sea
Are caught by patient fishing.
The greatest books were only done
By years of patient writing.
The greatest battles ever won
Were won by patient fighting.
And so, whatever hill you'd climb
Or what ideal you're hugging,
Remember you must wait your time
And patiently keep plugging.
