+ There Is nothing modest about the
American Protective Tariff league

IL excels Itself and all It's past per-
formances when IL demands national
referendum on the pending tariff bill

Der. We do not recall that II sug-
gested referendum on the Payne
Aldrich bill, the Dingley bill or the
Mckinley bill But now that the peo-
pie are at last I'm a fair way TO get
some measure Of relief, this organiza-
ton of the interests demands that ac-
ton In their behalf be deferred for
nineteen months. IL was perfectly
proper for congress TO pass In a few
months a tariff bill drawn after con-
sultation with such men as Whitman.
Wood, North and Littauer. There was
nothing Objectionable about the COM
bination between the wool growers OF
the far west and the eastern manu-
facturers, OF which President Taft
said:

Aldrich, In the senate, although both
favored reduction in the schedule.

Political parties are not reformed
by resolution. 1t Is deeds and not
words that count. What Republican
ism lacks at this time il public con.
fidence, and IL that could have been
supplied by conferences like that held
yesterday In Chicago the two great
conventions assembled in that city
last year would have done the bust
ness.
OF Republican protestations and
promises the country has had more
than enough. The men who make
them have made others to no pur.
pose. Some Republicans are still In
positions where performance Is pos
sible. II they would re-establish
themselves and their party in the
good opinion OF the people, why do
ward in response to the known will
OF the people?
Why are the Republicans in con
gress voting almost solidly against
tariff reductions? Why are the Re-
publicans In the New York lesisla'
ture lined up almost solidly on the
side Of Tammany and Murphy
Why are the Republicans in the New
Jersey legislature practically uni,
in opposition to the Democratic re-
form bills? Why are the Republicans
In office In California unanimous In
adhering to the anti-Japanese dema'
gogy?
The fact Is that there Is no evi-
dence anywhere Of Republican repen
lance. Every faction Of the party
stands pat for some kind of monop
oily, privilege, ring rule, boss rule and
gang rule. There Is yearning on
all sides for reorganization and har
mony. but Is the reorganization to be
merely for power and the harmony
to be only for plunder?-New York

Several hundred girls disappear
Rosa's gone-and who will find her?
Rosas gone-the way many go,
Not trace did Rosa leave behind her.
That's the way-THEY always FIX it so.
Rosa-she was young and very pretty
That's the kind of girl THEY like to snare);
So she's posted missing in the city,
God knows where!
Rosa, being young, fond of pleasure,
Life to her was something blithe and sweet,
So THEY planned and plotted at their leisure,
So THEY set the trap beneath her feet;
Innocent and gay and all unknowing,
Trusting to the friends that led her on,
Unaware the road that she was goin,
Rosas gone!
Rosa's gone-and patiently we've sought her.
Nanly followed every trail or clue
Mothers, think Of Rosa YOUR daughter,
Think OF this as happening to YOU!
Rosa's gone-like other girls before her,
Knowing not the till it drawn.
How shall all our mourning restore her?
