A CHALLENGE

~ Nx1<ALAElNN1E
Our good friend, Colonel Roose-
velt, will have none of the Num-
sey compromise program, which
the latter has been outlining in
his magazine, to the effect that
the names Republican" and
Progressive" be dispensed with
and a new title found for the a.
malgamated party. The head
and front of the new party in
his latest manifesto, calls for the
continuance of that party as the
opposition to the party in power.
Federalism is the issue and
line of demarcation outlined and
drawn by Roosevelt. The DEM
ocratic party is committed irrevo-
cably to fifty seperate sover-
eighties. The Progressive
party would have but one-the
United States.
We do not know about this
The Democratic party is inpower;
under solemn pledge, given since
his election, President Wilson is
to free" the country from the
yoke of capital in combination.
Those gigantic trusts that have
been formed through the econo--
mic evolution which a rapidly de-
veloping nation made almost in
.evitable, are to be dealt with, in
what specific manner the public
has not been informed. -.
The real issue that must sep
arate Roosevelt from Wilson land
this seems to be the day Of hero
worship, when individual is
greater than party) is bound to
be an economic issue.
If President Wilson is to sup
port state rights as avowed by
his party since it's formation and
leave the separate states to deal
with trunk lines, industrial COM J
binations and the like. there will
be no difficulty for the nation in
Distinguishing between the two
parties. The Roosevelt party.
certainly. is committed to central
ization in government, to federal
regulation or control of interstate
business. His party believes. as
he does, that combination has
passed the stage when the in-
dividual state can regulate the in
dustries and arteries of commerce
within its own lines.
Suppose, however, and the
supposition is not violent one,
considering the trend of Wilson
since he became a national lead
er, that the Democratic party
took a leaf out of the Roosevelt
book, what then?
A writer has pointed out re-
Gently that state sovereignty was
a device of the British govern
ment to maintain apart the col
onies so that-they might not rise
in revolt against the crown. He
insists that the special inter-
ests," like the ancient throne of
England. are seeking to perpet-
uate their power through the sep
arate entities of states.
When congress and the execu-
tive have done with currency re-
form and the tariff, promised
this summer, will be time enough
to raise issu 8. The party in
power may make it incumbent
upon the divided party. that held
sway SO long, to reunite without
much ceremony. Denver Times.

Washington Letter.
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

WASHINGTON--The great
tariff battle is on! At this time
it is possible to make a fairly
satisfactory survey of the field,
determine the position of the
contending forces and predict
with some accuracy the ultimate
results.
The national capital is alive
with lobbyists. You meet them
everywhere we'll dressed, suave
gentlemen, who are never in a
hurry, and always more than
willing to have a drink or a
smoke with you and to shed light
on their particular speciality
Graft, as we of the West
might term it. Every interest
seems to be well represented
all but one. -Up-to date l have
not encountered a lobbyist who
was pleading the cause of the
consumer. There are ninety
million consumers in this coun-
try. Why shouldn't they have
something to say about the
framing or a tariff bill? They
do the voting on election day:
they do the fighting when the
flags are unfolded and the war
drums roll, and they dig up more
than LOCO million dollars each
year to sustain a high-protec-
tive tariff system in this country.
They are vitally interested in
making their dollars go as far as
posypble and as the tariff has a
tendency to lessen the purchas-
ing power of those dollars it
would seem only just that their
interests should be considered
when the Ways and Means Com
mittee is framing this most i'm
portant of bills. But the con-
sumers are not organized. They
cannot hire lobbyists and they
cannot wine and dine Senators
and Representatives.
There is one thing they can do
however
They can write to their Sen Z
tors and Representatives and re-
mind those gentlemen that the
folks at home expect them to do
their duty.
The platform man stood on
when he pleading for votes
should be good enough for him
after he begins to draw his pay.
Write YOUR letter tonight and
make it so clear it cannot be
misunderstood.
There is urgent need of such
action, for Democracy is on trial
as it never was before in the his
4sory of the country. 1t must net
be permitted to fail the people at
this time. We may not have
reached Armageddon, but we are
engaged in a real battle, and we
need every bit of influence we
can muster.
The tariff struggle centers
around the Sugar and Woolen
schedules and the Senate is the
citadel which must be captured
by the champions of tariff revis-
ion before they can hope for vic
tory. Along the line of the
Pennsylvania railroad leading in
to Washington are number of
Eastern Colorado times., 1913-04-11

one cOnceQeS CnaC Cney Tell CHe
story of the tariff fight. Sched-
ule X is the wooden schedule,
the life blood of the woolen trust.
Taft denounced it as ''indefensi-
BILE" and weakly admitted his in
ability to force it's revision.
When the Democrats and the
Progressives in the last Congress
changed it he interposed his veto
to save the trusts and incident
ally. signed his own death-war-
rant. Now the trusts lobbyists
are boasting that they will block
an honest revision in this Con-
gress. They say that through a
combination with the Sugar Trust
they own seven Senators who
call themselves Democrats and
these, with Republican Senators,
would constitute a majority of
the Senate.
They promise to repeat the
performance which disgraced
and discredited Cleveland's sec
ond Administration when Cor
man of MARYLAND. Smith of New
Jersey, and four or five other So
called Democrats violated their
platform pledges and emasculat-
ed the Wilson Bill. Cleveland
refused to sign the bill, but per-
mitted it to become law with
out his signature.
Wilson'S made of sterner stuff.
He is insisting on an honest re-
demption of party,s pledges.
Those who are close to him say he
favors free sugar and free wool.
He is willing to make reasonable
concessions, however. He has
suggested a SO per cent cut in
tariff on sugar with free trade in
three years, and he might be
willingeto give equally generous
treatment to the woolen inter-
ests.
The representatives of the
trusts affect to believe that the
Presidents proposals would ruin
the sugar and woolen interests
and they clamor for the retent-
ion of existing duties, while he
listens patiently to their pleas he
has shown that he possesses a
mind of his own. and he has per-
mitted it to become known that
he will not hesitate to fight
should Cancellation fail. The
House will support the President
and there is reason to believe
that certain Progressive Repub-
licans will vote with him in the
Senate, thus supplying the loss
occasioned by Democratic defect
ton.
La Toilette and Wilson have
grown to trust each other and
Senator Norris of Nebraska and
Poindexter of Washington, one a
Republican and the other a Pro-
gressive, voted for free sugar in
the last Congress. Nothing has
since occurred to justify change
of position.
l had delightful interview with
the President the~ether day and
felt justified in assuring HIN that
the people of Colorado would
support him in his efforts to re-
deem bis party's pledges.
told him Colorado was one of
the most fortunatestates of the
Union, that its prosperity was
not dependent on tariff. laws or
other special privileges but rest
ed on the broad foundation of
limitless natural resources.
"Just give us a chance to get
at what nature provided and we
will do the rest, !" l said.

Georgia Peach Expected to Dis

Tiger President Today.

DETROIT. Mich. April 4.-Ty Cobb.
Of Georgia, arrives IN Detroit today to
discuss contract terms with President
Navin. fthe Tigers.
The Georgia peach and Navin will
get together as soon as the slugging
outfielder gets into town, and definite
conclusion to their argument IL ex-
pected to be reached at their first con-
ference. Cobb knew when he left At
lanta Tuesday night just what he could
expect in the way of salary from the
Detroit club.
What that amount Is no one aside
from Navin and Cobb knew. 1t will
not be $4,000 a year. which Cobb has
demanded. That much Is known from
the personal statement of Navin him
self.
Even though Cobb puts his name to
contract today. 1t is likely that he will
be kept out Of the game for some time.
There are several hundred yards of red
tape which must be unraveled with the
NattonafCommission before he can play,
as he Is under suspension and subject
to fine for not reporting.
Incidentally. the size of that fine 10

lowed to remain in the game even with

MACK DENIES THAT
BASEBALL IS TRUST
Says Players Will Be First to
Suffer If Present System
Is Abolished.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. April Aft
any Congressional investigating COM
mittee concludes that We are a trust.
/ firmly believe that before three years
are over players will be drawing one
half of the salaries they are today
even less, in fact, than that. The play
er is the man who will be hit. 1t

So declared Connie Mack. manager
and half owner OF the Athletics when
the Gallagher resolution was placed be-
fore him. and he was asked for his
opinion. Continuing, Mack said:
There's no such thing as a baseball
trust. II there was you wouldn't find
some large cities having such poor
teams as they have at the present time,
while smaller cities, Detroit, for ex-
ample, have organizations that are far
better.
''All Of US are out for ourselves only.
That is absolute. We help each other
no more than one shoemaker helps his
competing neighbor shoemaker. If
there's anything good about We want it
for ourselves.
I've always felt this way with re-
gard to trusts. They pay their employees
certsin definite salaries. They always
produce a certain definite quality of
goods. It isn't so in baseball. Players
get every penny they are worth, and al
most always considerably more than
they are worth. for, the wise manager
finds that 10 get the best work from a
man he must continually encourage him
in a salary way.
In my opinion. there'll be no trouble
at all in disproving 10 Congress or to
any one else the existence of a Baseball
trust"

Danny Moeller displayed great speed
when he went down for a cushion In the
second. He got the only stolen base OF

Bob Hart umpired a good game be-
hind the bat. while Dineen had little
to do in the field. Hart must have read
the papers about himself.
Cy Cummings watched the game from

tolling the nerve Of the Griffmen.
Chick Gandil made several pretty
stops around the first corner. one on

ing the national game. Inasmuch as
Connie Is one Of the shrewdest men In
baseball. his words have weight.
