Elk Rate. Then Investigate.

1t must be discouraging to Chairman
Underwood and his committee, and
somewhat amusing to certain members
of Congress, when they consider Presi-
dent Wilson's latest proposition. Ac-
eording to Washington writer's, the
President is to have a tariff commits
sion to come after. instead of before,
tariff revision. In other words, try
anything once and change it. if 1t
doesn't suit Such a plan would prove
particularly interesting,z we should
think, to those business interests which
are anxious to see the last of the eX-
traordinary session of Congress that
they may know how to base calcula-
tions for future business. One writer
says:
President Wilson intends to have a
tariff board of his own ana ne VIII
start it WORKING with an investigation
of the pottery industry. Following THIS
if complaint is made that the new tar
iff law operates harshly against the
WOODEN and cotton industries, these
will be subjected to rigid inVestiga-
ton for the purpose of ascertalnlhS
whether the complaining manufactur-
ers are telling the exact truth. In 9TH
er words. President Wilson intends
that his new tariff law shall make
good" and he proposes that it shall
by correcting every injustice which 1t
is found to embody. Cellufoid, cottons
and woolens and many other Industries
have suffered more or less severely IN,
the new tariff bill because persons IN
terested in them have demanded hlSher
rates than a majority of Congress nave
believed they needed.
President Wilson, ignoring the eX-
tremists of both sides, now purposes 10
find out for himself what the facts are.
With regard to pottery, the advocates
of lever duties, notably Jerome Jones
of Boston, proved clearly IN tue tari'i
hearings that the actual protection up
on the higher grades was mucn IN eN-
cess of the fiftyfiVe and sixty per cent
in the law, because OF the IN
clusion of the packing cases III assess
inc the duties 1t was shown conc'us-
ively also that upon cheap eartherh-
ware little or no protection was neeo
cd as the American market IS sup
nlied chiefly by domestic manufactur-
ers 3"
The investigation of complaining IN
dnstries is to be made by bureau OF
the DEPARTMENT of Commerce which
will have greater powers than confer
red upon the Taft tariff board. INDUS
ries now shouting about the lnJestce
1eaped upon them will have orpert'ni-
y to prove up by opening their BOOKS

The Progressive Split.

The breaking up of the Bull Moose
party seems already to have begun.
And, contrary to frantic assertions CT
the Lewiston Journal, not because of
bats held out by Republicans but be-
cause practical men who preferred
Roosevelt to Taft see no other bone
of contention between Republicans
and Progressives.
permanent split in Bull Moose
ranks already has opened. Strong
leaders are turning away from the
bitterness of the few vengeful, dlsap-
pointed ones who continue to pump
gas into those they have dazed. Pro-
gressive State Chairman Edward ).
Darlington Jr., of Maryland, is quot
ed by the Baltimore sun as follows.
"You say there is drift back to
the Republicans from the Bull Moose
Party. I know that to be true, al
though il does not mean, that our peo-
pie are going back en- masse. But the
drift is of sufficient proportions to
prove that those who announce them
selves for amaIgamation with the Re,
publicsns, Of whom ! was one, were
right. This is a two-party country,
and there is bound to be but one real
party to fight the Democrats"
Exactly the same sentiments have
been expressed by leading Maine Pro
gressives within the week. Perhaps
the most striking example was given
the writer in a Somerset county town
less than two weeks ago. There "a
former Republicans who voted, last
November, for Roosevelt now stan
as man for Republican principles
and are ready to pledge themselves
to Governor Haines if he continues
carry out his promises.
Many men of other states, who
were ardent and leading Progressives

reunion of Republican and Progress.

Our Citiesln Needs.

A Waterville fatly of broad mind and
heart filed with love for humanity
writes feelingly of Lewiston's product
of in growing lawlessness and Sodon-
like procIivities. She rejoices that the
children have been snatched like
brands from the burning by an efficient
police matron, and that the alleged
authors of the brutality are likely to
meet justice. She sees the need of a
police matron in every city and calls
particular attention to her own city.
Her letter in part follows:
Editor Kennebec Journal:
l was grieved to read the state
ment in regard to conditions in the
Lewiston schools. At the same time
was gratified that the men who
were alleged eulprits were publicly
proclaimed and not the pitiful chill

shade of justice never could have
happened without the aid of Mrs.
Tracey, the police matron. |

would be appointed in every city
