Scope Of Celebration.

After the cOmm1tIee report mad
been read c. R. joy called for general
discussion prefacing the call with eN
planatory remarks. He said that
Keokuk, Hamilton and Warsaw were
going to celebrate the opening OF the
dam but that the demand OF scores
of other cities had been to make the
affair an exposition of the resources
Of the entire Mississippi Valley and
not merely Of the cities close to the
dam.
In the discussion which followed H.
E. Hershey, of the Fort Madison
First Association, asked In what
manner the executive committee ex-
pected to eypend money raised to Sc
cure the results set forth. H. /. Saw
yer answered by saying that the
greater part of the money would be
used IN a campaign of publicity to
call attention OF the entire country to
the resources of the Mississippi val
ley as a result of the hydro-electrio
development here.
He quoted statistics showing that
within recent years the population of
Illinois. Iowa, and Missouri had de-
creased except in the large cities and
that the decrease was caused by these
citizens moving to other parts of the
country where greater opportunity
was promised. He declared that If
an organized campaign was carried
on to prove that unequaled opportuni-
ties were right here in the valley this
would be overcome.

Displeased at persistent suggestions
that perhaps some compromise on the
tariff legislation might be effected In
the senate. President Wilson has pub
liciy declared his position. He has
taken his stand with the house or
ganisation, for the house bill: and
he will not change that position. He
wants no compromise propositions.
The president IL right. He proposes
20 stick for free wool and ultimate
free sugar. and he ought to get them.
AS this tariff measure has been
framed; as It's consideration has
progressed; as the opposition to 1t
has developed and organised, II has
become apparent that free wool and
free sugar together constitute the
keystone of the arch. Four years ago
Nelson w. Aldrich was solemnly tell
lag the senate that schedule X was
the keystone Of the protection struc-
tare. Remove 1t and the structure
would fall.
have been for generation and more
the critical points In every tariff
measure. They are the two great
staples as to which sharp. clean-cut
contrast may be presented, between
the protective policy and the anti
protection program. Republicanism
stands for high protection on both
these staples: has long stood for that.
Democracy stands for free trade In
them: has long stood for It, even when
IL could not enact all Of its purpose
into law.
Here. then, IL the cruz. Mr.. VIII

son Is for the Democratic program.
He would be square and honest about
II. He does not want the label OF
Democracy attached to tariff bill
that omits the two great distinctive
features Of Democratic tariff policy.
The country has committed itself
to the proposal of the Democratic
party. II honestly wants good,
that test to include the whole pro-
gram. There are a good many Demo
Gratis. and q good many more Of other
people, who have misgivings about it;
but pretty nearly everybody is agreed
that the only way to settle the ques-
ton Is to have a thorough test.
Trying out a Democratic tariff pro-
gram without free wool and free sugar
In II would be about as conclusive as
testing the locks Of the Panama canal
without water In them. The president
knows this. In the belief that he un-
derstands quite as we'll as anybody
what elements must be brought to-
gether to round out a real Democratic
measure, he has taken a hand and
insisted on having his way in the
framing. The house passed what he
wants. He now demands that the
senate pass 1t. too. Given the thing
he demands and the thing he knows
the party, as whole. wants. he Ia
willing to take the chances and accept
the results. He must do that any
how; why not. then. insist on making
the conditions as favorable as posi-
