Younger than those now reviewing the

There has been no obstruction in the

be promptly Endorsed by the committee.
and reported back TO the Senate within
ten days.
But the long time taken was found
necessary. and was not misused. Mr..
Underwood and his friends, it was dis
covered, had not done their work with
thoroughness. 1t needed amendment in
many particulars to square with the ideas
Of Senate democrats. and the Senate
democrats, consulting their own experts,
proceeded to make changes.
Not improbably, both the House and
the Senate have had, and still have,
their eyes on the conference between the
two bodies to follow the Senate's final
vote. That is to say, the House provided
for trading purposes. and the Senate is
doing the same. When the conference
meets there will be maneuvering for adj
vantage. and the exercise of the give
and-take principle of action.
For this reason a test of physical en-
durance imposed by the Senate majority
on the minority in order to force an early
vote would be a mistake. The Senate
majority's work should be carefully ex-
amined by the minority. both with view
of showing what Is likely to go on the
books as law, and what Is likely to be
abandoned in conference in the stress of
compromise.
The President is said to want cur
rency legislation at this session The re-
publicans do not want ii. There are
democrats who do not want it. Would
the Presidents program be advanced by
night sessions Of the Senate on the tariff?
Would either the majority or the minority
emerge from an experience of that kind
in condition to proceed at once with as
difficult and complicated a question as
currency reform? Hardly. Rather would
both be physically exhausted and on
edge as to temper.
There is bluffing going on. and maybe
both sides are indulging. The result We
must wait for. But the game while it
lasts will be worth attention. Bluffing
is a fine art, in politics as In war and
sport.

powers well armed both on sea and land,
why should we disarm? Why invite at
tack and disaster In that way?
And as We should not. and of course
will not, disarm, why not keep well
armed? Why not arm according to the
necessities OF the case? Why not take
our cue from the powers with which as
a nation we are classed? why not keep

The economy cry of the democracy has
been silenced by the responsibility OF
office. Everybody knows now that the
republicans when in power did not over
neutrality-suspicious. waste-three nun
dred million dollars annually That was
a campaign yarn for the marines. Called
to office, the democracy finds that the
expense OF running a great and growing
country properly is heavy. and cannot
be reduced without public injury. IL

port the government in good style, or
give place to a party that will.

navy-"an adequate navy. as the Baiti-
more platform expresses it-and as we

try expects this Congress to do its duty

Contrasted Pictures.

Home is the place where the heart Is:
Homes where you hang up your hat;
The spot for small, sociable parties
In palace or cottage or nat.
Home is the place for reposing
When shadows have shut out the day:
A haven for dreaming and doing,
Forgetful OF storms far away.
Home is the place where the cleaner
Performs with a paintbrush or suds;
Where mothballs each autumn smell
meaner
AS you rattle them out of your buds.
The alarm clock will wake you at seven,
Your skill as g. truck horse to prove.
Home Is a corner of heaven
Except when they houseclean or move.

Foss.

Consider the case of Gov Foss, and
the time he has been having the past
few years.
He had long been a republican, and
had reached local distinction in the ranks
of that party. AS q successful business
man ne had believed In protection. At
last, however, he had formed the con-
clusion that business would be aided by
a liberalized tariff policy, and he an
nounced for reciprocity with Canada.
But as he could not bring his party at
home around to his view. he left II, and
allied himself with the democracy. His
conversion was hailed with pleasure, and
he was elected. first to Congress, and
then to the governorship of Massachu-
sets, by his newly found friends. He
lifted his eyes last year even to the
presidency.
After he had left 1t. the republican
party came out for reciprocity with Can
ada, and President Taft negotiated a
treaty, which was ratified by Congress,
both republicans and democrats support
ing II.
The farmers. however, in Massachu-
sets as elsewhere. were displeased, and
voted almost solidly against Mr.. Taft be-
cause of the pact. They helped bring in
Mr.. Wilson on the Baltimore platform,
which pledged a far greater liberalization
OF the tariff laws than that comprehended
in the pact with Canada and which had
failed because of its rejection by Canada.
Gov. Foss is now at odds. and maybe
at outs. with his new friends. He does
not approve Of the Underwood tariff, re-
vision. and says so very frankly. 1t is
built on lines which he regards as more
Objectionable from the business point of
view than the lines OF the Payne law.

OVERRIDING Maneuvers.

From the Boston Transcript.
One Of the most valuable results of the
recent summer duty in the field of the
National Guard Of Massachusetts, if not
the most valuable, was the demonstration
of the fact that what the regiments of in
fantry and the squadron of cavalry need
is organization camps, and not field ma
neuvers. The field maneuver has been
overdone. The result is a slackness and
slovenliness in the work of the enlisted
men. The great need of the day Is care

der's individual work in the field-camp,
impossible to be taught in the armories,
for which a week is scant time in which

John Lind's Mission.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
President Wilson's remedy for the ills
both American and foreign interests suf-
fer from in Mexico is mediation. which
under the circumstances must be a vague
term. The dispatch OF the Hon. John
Lind as legal adviser to the embassy and
agent Of peace and cOnstitutionalism in
Mexico is at best an experiment a hit
or-miss adventure in diplomacy. One
marvels at the courage of the President
and wonders whether he is trusting In
his lucky star. Mr.. Lind is not an ex-
pert In Mexican affairs. 1t is said that
he has no Mexican vocabulary. and must
depend upon interpreters to conduct the
simplest negotiations. He has had no
diplomatic experience, and IL he succeeds
in his mission It must be because he has
a genius for compromise and reconstruc-
ton.
