Bull Moosers and the Tariff.

Vt the Chicago meeting Of the Illinois
bull moosers, Chairman Robins of the
state central committee indicted the
democratic party on the tariff question
in these terms:
We were promised a tariff bill that
would reduce the cost Of living. we have
the tariff BILL but the cost OF living
rises, while the demand for labor lessons
throughout the land"
Now here is a point worthy of careful
consideration. The republicans promised
a revision of the tariff downward. and
the country decided. many republicans
consenting. that the Payne law did not
redeem the promise. Hence the result
AT the polls in 1910. which paved the way
for last years result. party was
brought ia upon a promise. copper rivet-
ed, of a downward revision. and a pre-
diction that such action would reduce
the high cost Of living.
The promise has been redeemed. but the
prediction has failed Undoubtedly the
Underwood revision is downward, but the
cost of living is still high--higher in some
features than under the Payne law.
Now what is the bull moose tariff pro-
gram, an4what does IL promise the eoun-

Peace.

The story that Winston Churchill, the
first lord of the British admiralty, is on
i the eve of a visit to Germany is denied.
So the speculation about a formal re-
newal of his proposition for naval 'hol-
iday" between Great Britain and Ger
many falls to the ground. But the sub
ject Is by no means dead. 1t may yet
afford texts for a good deal of discussion
both In Europe and in this country.
AS is known, the proposition, when
made several months ago, fell fat. Even
at home it was not taken altogether
seriously, while in Germany it aroused
| distrust when it excited remark at all.
John Bull yawned, and Hans scowled.
If Mr.. Churchill has any new argu-
ments to support his overture-any new
frills to his shirt-he has yet to present
them. He is a resourceful man, but
mainly in the lines of oratory and agita-
ton. In this country he would be rated
as "a rafting stump speaker" and would
command, ON the side. his own price as a
chautauqua star.
His gifts and reputation, therefore, mill
tate against him In executive office as a
| force for pacihcation. When he talks
peace, even his admirers pause and look
curious. They wonder II ne means IL.
His opponents are sure he does not They
begin at once TO speculate about what he
really does mean-what his objective
| may be.
Still if Mr.. Churchill has something
additional to offer. or some new reasons
TO support what he already has offered,
on so interesting a subject they will be
| worth attention. and over here should be
respectfully received. We are not sag
| ging under assessments for our army and
navy, though some politicians think we
are spending too much on them. But We
have some big things on hand both al
home and at distance. and for that
reason are considering just how far and
| how rapidly we should go in getting and
keeping i'm trim for discharging our full
duty.
| A period is promised when the devil
will be chained up for thousand years.
When that arrives. and while il con-
tinues. there will, of course. be no need
of lighting ships or guns. and men trained
| to use theip will have to seek other jobs.

The Opportunities.

Tie injunction to give early toward
the fourteen opportunities outlined BY
the. Associated Charities, is worthy OF
general observance. To give now the
dollar that will ultimately be given by
the charitable toward this end is not
only TO contribute to the good cause, but
to offer an inspiring example for others.
Let this money be regarded for the pres
ent as part of the Christmas appropria-
ton, and give it now to make the peo-
pie included in these fourteen opportuni-
ties feel happier for the coming of Yule-
tide The season for this opportunity
giving is deliberately chosen to appeal
to the natural impulses of people at this
time of year to make presents to others.
No one can give to this fund without
feeling that the Christmas season has
been better observed. and as a mere in
vestment in personal pleasure money
could not possibly be given more salts
factorily.
Every one of these opportunities repre-
sents an urgent need. If these cases are
not provided for by specific donations as
result of this present appeal they must
be cared for out of the general funds of
the Associated Charities. There is no
other possible means of supporting these
individuals and families 1t is incon-
ceivable that they should be permitted to
go without succor and sustenance. 1t is
far better that they should be funded
thus directly and specifically than that
they depend upon occasional givings eked
out from a general fund. BY meeting
these opportunities the community is
financing these fourteen cases in a way
to lead in some instances to self-help
later. Thus this is constructive charity
of the most beneficent character. and
everybody who participates in it is help
ing not merely to relieve the stress but
TO solve problems

No Special Republican Convention

The decision of the republican national
committee against calling special ma
tional convention rested largely on the
risk that might be taken. A program
could not be imposed upon such meet
ing, and with all subjects open for dis
cussion and action, and interest high
further dissension. rather than harmony
and reunion. might be the result.
But what was most in mind was other
wise arranged. The national committee
will prepare new plan for representa-
ton in national conventions and pro-
cedure in those bodies. and this will be
referred to the republican state organi-
cations. If approved by a sufficient num-
Der of them. the plan will be binding on
the national convention of 1916 Other
wise of course. the whole matter in dis
pute will be thrashed out before that
body, and be decided by il, when it meets
Instead of a platform-which had been
suggested for the special convention-an
address to the country by the national
committee was decreed. This will be
issued soon. and will bear upon the con-
ditions that have arisen since November.
and now answer as an incentive to repub-
lican reunion in time for next Novem-
bers congressional campaigns.
No bitterness was shown at the COM
mittee's deliberations. No triumph was
recorded for either faction of the party.
There were conservatives as well as pro-
gressives in favor of a special convention.
and vice versa. William Barnes. jr.,
conservative leader, STOOD with Senator
Borah. a progressive leader. for a con-
vention. and both acquiesced in the de-
fao of hoir yx-ic CHI nn.nn
crate in all further efforts toward repub-
lican success next year.
The plan for a new basis of representa-
ton in national conventions to be pro-
posed by the committee will reduce ma
terially the south's strength in those
bodies. This will simply recognize con-
ditions in that section. without conveying
any Endorsement of the acknowledgements
which have produced them 1t is, and
has long been, clearly unfair for states
with no electoral votes possible for the
candidate to possess a possibly control
ling voice in the naming of the candidate.
This is not progressivism, but plain re-
pubIicanism. Mr.. Roosevelt did not orig
mate IL.
No presidential booms were in evidence
before the committee. either in any prop
osition made or words spoken. 1t is
generally recognized now that the duty
of the present and the immediate future
pertains to measures. Men will come
later. The republican party does not lack
for presidential material fully equal to
the emergency. Nor is it confined to any
one section. In eastern, western and
middle states are republican leaders of
presidential size, any one of whom on a
good platform would inspire enthusiasm
in a national race.

Two Automobile Accidents in

Two persons, one a six-year-

ly injured by automobiles in the
crowded streets of the downtown dis

The accidents were witnessed by
hundreds of persons, many Of them
women and children, and attracted
such crowds in both instances that
blockades Of traffic were caused.
The first accident occurred when
John Nickers, a newsboy whose home
is at 121 West Pine Street, was struck
by an automobile driven by E. V. D.
Manning, a postoffice clerk, "a Spen-
Ger Street, at the corner of Marietta
and Forsyth Streets. The boy was
attempting to cross the intersecting
streets when the machine struck him
and knocked him fifteen feet to the
curb. He was picked up by pedes-
TRANS and rushed to the Grady Hos
pital. Manning was arrested and
charged with reckless driving.
The second accident occurred at
Whitehall and Alabama Streets c. w.
Notes, an aged man residing at "a
n Mason Street, said to be a pioneer
photographer Of the South, was run
down by a machine driven by a negro
named Major Stephens. Notes scalp

crushed and he suffered internal in

property OF Hugh Inman, los West
