Truly, these be progressive times.

PRESIDENT WILSON did an original but
sensible thing on Tuesday. when he de-
livered personally his message to Con-
gress, instead of having it droned out in
the usual way by clerk to an uninterest-
ed assemblage. Having let it be known
that he wished TO deliver his message by
word OF mouth, joint session ofthe Sen.
ate and House OF Representatives was
held Tuesday afternoon, almost every
memt er Of Congress being present, while
the galleries were crowded with interest
ed spectators. The President in dig
nified and impressive way addressed the
Lawmakers, Setting forth his reasons for
calling the extra session and his views on
the needed tariff legislation. 1t was the
first time in over hundred years that a
President had personally read message
to Congress.
There are few persons who criticise
the President for this new departure, but
he is very generally commended for hav-
ing manifested the fact, as he expressed
it, THAT the President OF the United
States is person, not mere department
of the government q. that he is a
human being trying to cooperate with
other human beings in common service. "
We have no doubt that he will be able to
accomplish a great deal more for the peo-
pie by putting his own personality into
his work and by disregarding rusty pre-
cedents.

1T looks as if we are going to have a
downward revision of the tariff that will
really be downward.

AT an election in, Michigan on Monday
the cause of woman suffrage was badly
defeated. 1t is charged that an unholy
alliance was entered into between the
anti-suffragists and the whiskey interests,
by which the liquor dealers furnished un-
limited money and the saloon-keepers
used their joints for electioneering pur-
noses.

-N--
THE Democratic tariff bill that was Of
fered in Congress at the beginning of the
extra session on Monday, and which is
the result of the labors of the Ways and
Means Committee OF the House and Pres
ident Wilson, is an honest and proper
measure. II was framed by those whose
duty il is to originate such measures, and
there has been no opportunity for the
representatives of special privileges to
slip in their usual jokerS and schemes by
which they got secret advantage.
The new bill places upon the free list
many of the necessities OF life, including
food products, and reduces the tariff on
manufactured goo by an average Of
about so per cent. 1t is measure that
provides for genuine revision down.
ward.
Among the articles from which the tariff
has been removed entirely are meats,
flour, bread, corn and cornmeal, salt, milk
and cream, potatoes, fish, swine, boots
and shoes, wool, lumber and lumber
products, coal, harness, saddlery, iron
ore, cotton bagging, leather, agricultural
implements, wood pulp, certain grades
of printing paper, Bibles, typewriters,
sewing machines, typesetting machines.
cash registers, steel rails, fence wire,
cotton ties, nails, hoop and band iron.
sulphur, soda, tanning materials, acetic
and sulphuric acids, borax, etc.
There is heavy reduction in the tariff
on woellen and cotton clothing, chemicals,
china and crockery ware, cutlery, blan-
kets, stockings and gloves. dress goods
and sewing silks, window glass, iron and
steel products, etc. The duty on lemons,
oranges, grapefruit, pineapples, ETC., is
considerably reduced. The bill provides
for reduction Of Is per cent in the duty
on sugar, and the removal of the remain
der OF the duty by 1916.
r Included in the bill is a section fixing
the tax on incomes. Every citizen of the
United States who earns more than $4,OOO
year must pay tax of one per cent on
his income in excess Of that amount
On incomes in excess of $4,000 year
the tax is 2 per cent, in excess Of 50.0e0
3 per cent, and in excess of 500, 900 per
cent. II is estimated that the income tax
will provide revenue of $4,000, 600 a
year, which will make UP for the loss of
revenue caused by the tariff reductions.
The Underwood bill surely ought to
bring about very decided decrease in
the cost OF living. II is fair measure,
and honestly carries out the promises of
the Democratic platform and of President
Wilson. 1t is to be hoped that it will not
be obstructed in its passage through
Congress.

LAST Saturday Congressman VIM. u.
Brown and National Committeeman John
T. McGraw, of West Virginia, had con-
terence with Secretary of State Bryan on
the subject of State patronage. In the
natural order OF events Senator VIM. E.
Chiffon would have the naming OF prac-
tically all Of the important federal appoint
ments for West Virginia. but as he repre-
sents one faction of the party and Col.
McGraw another, it is regarded as only
fair that there shall be a division of the
offices. Col. McGraw was an original
Wilson man in West Virginia, and speaks
for those who were enthusiastically for
the Jersey man not only after the Balti-
more convention but long before the
nomination was made.
II is generally believed that Secretary
Bryan is wise to the situation.

1T seems almost too good to be true,
but at last the people OF this country are
to elect United States Senators by popu-
lar vote. On Tuesday the Legislature OF
Connecticut ratified the amendment to
the Constitution OF the United States pro-
viding for this reform, and thirty-six
States having voted favorably the amend
ment will be in force as soon as the for
malities necessary can be accomplished.
This is one of the greatest reforms OF
the present generation - perhaps the
greatest. The debauchery of legislatures
by candidates for. the Senate has been
forever done away with, and now every
eligible man will have his chance-the
poor as well as the rich. We predict that
there will be a material difference in the
character of the Senate because OF this
amendment.
Truly, these be progressive times.
