Interest in Washington increases in the

Free Rides for the Protectors.

Commissioner Siddons is quoted as ex-
pressing inability to see why policemen
and firemen should ride free on street
cars any more than employees Of the Dis
trict health and other departments. The
explanation Of this apparent discrimina-
ton is really simple. The policemen and
firemen are the emergency forces of the
municipality. When they are needed for
duty anywhere they must respond with
the utmost speed. They cannot be kept
continuously at the stations: they must
have some time of for rest and for conn.,
munion with their families. unless the two
departments are to be comprised exclu-
sively of bachelors willing to spend all
their days within voice-call Of their posts
and stations.
No other municipal workers are under

Democratic Revolt in Louisiana.

Those Louisiana democrats who are
angry with the administration and or
ganizing to give expression to their feel
ings at the polls are moving in mys-
FERROUS way their wonders to perform.
Undoubtedly they have a grievance.
They supported Mr.. Wilson for Presi-
dent in the belief, II not upon assurance.
that his election would not inure to the
injury of the states leading industry,
sugar. They subscribed literally to the
party's campaign fund, and gave the
electoral vote of the state to the Balti-
more ticket.
Their awakening was rude, not to say
agonizing. Mr.. Wilson, despite their pro-
tests and reminders of services rendered.
pressed free sugar upon Congress, and
got q schedule in the revision OF the
tariff which the Louisiana sugar plant
ers assert means the destruction of the
cane sugar industry in this country.
Hence their anger.
Are they turning to the republican
party for a redress of their grievance?
They owe all they have to that party.
Since the close of the civil war the re-
publicans have been the friends of pro-
lection and whenever in office have ap-
piled that policy in the national scheme
Of taxation. And Louisiana has greatly
benefited. Without protection her sugar
industry would never have amounted to
anything. Even with projections aid 1t
has made way slowly. and is not now as
large as it should be.
But, instead Of turning to the repub-
lican party, the disgruntled Louisianians
% No hull and
promising it several members Of the next
House.
Now. the bull moose party does not. as
the republican party does. stand distinct
~ for protection. 1t Endorses protection.
but subordlnates the issue to the trust
issue. and what Mr.. Roosevelt calls so
cial Justice" bull moose triumph
would mean protection as an incident. II
the republicans regain full control their
leading purpose will be a revision OF the
Underwood law along confessed profec-
ton lines, and sugar, both because Of the
protection it needs and revenue the gov
eminent needs, will be restored to the
dutiabie list. The Louisiana industry will
again flourish.
Moreover, the next House will be either
democratic or republican. Under no con-
ceiyable circumstances can the bull
moosers control 1t. AS the prospect now
is, they will have fewer representatives
in that House than they have In the
present one The drift throughout the
country, wherever the protection issue is
strong. is from the bull moose to the re-
publican party.
But, with these facts perfectly plain,
these Louisiana democrats. with protec-
ton their one object and their principal
industry on the eve of destruction for
want Of it, are turning for assistance to
a quarter where nothing is In sight.
Wonderful politics! And worthy OF
those who helped into office the author
Of their woes. What would Samuel ii
McEnery say if alive? He voted for the
Payne law because it provided duty on
sugar.

Parties and the Trusts.

All parties are under fire respecting
the trusts. The republican party is raked.
on the charge that protection Is the
mother Of trusts. Hence the argument
that in order to destroy the trusts pro-
lection must be destroyed. Hence the
argument that now that the republican
party Is out of power 1t should be kept
out. No protection. no trusts: no repuo-
lican control. no protection. Thus stated
the proposition is simple.
The bull moose party Is under fire. on
the charge that its leading financial sup
port-its ''angel"-is a trust magnate. with
trust ends in view as the reason for his
political activity. George w. Perkins has
become Objectionable, even to some bull
moosers because of his trust connections
Those connections are not new. They
existed two years ago. and passed then
without protest from those who are pro-
testing them now The only difference
Is that the protesters in reading the cleo
ton returns of two years ago now see
a hoodoo in Mr.. Perkins. They ascrfbe
their defeat in large part to him. They
plan for the future on this prescription:
No Perkins no hoodoo: no hoodoo, no
defeat Thus stated, their proposition Is
simple.
And now the democratic party is under
fire in very delicate quarter. Thomas
D. Jones of Chicago. appointed to place
on the federal reserve board. and the
Presidents choice for chairman of the
board. is connected with trust, and.
singularly enough with a trust with
which Mr. Perkins is connected The
democrat and the bull mooser are birds
nd heal ".
ing together.
The President. advised OF criticism OF
Mr. Jones on this score. replies to 1t
over his own signature. In letter to
Senator Owen he takes full responsibility
for the appointment of Mr.. Jones, and
explains the latter's trust connection.
II proves to be little one. And. more
than that. it was formed. as the Presi-
dent states. for the express purpose OF
reforming that particular trust. Mr..
Jones. the President says. saw an oppor-
tunity to serve the public in that way.
acquired one share in the trust men
toned. and threw his influence toward
correcting abuses.
Strangely enough, this is asserted for
Mr.. Perkins by his friends. He is in
favor of trust reform. and is connected
with trusts solely for the purpose of help
ing to bring reform about. He has all
the money he wants: but, believing that
trusts are here to stay and that they
need regulating. he retains his conr1ec-
lions with them in order to contribute
to that regulation.
The whole trust question is both COM
plicated and interesting. That trusts ex-
list admits Of no dispute That. when
unrestrained. they preyed on the public
was shown years ago; and the fact led
to legislation by Congress. That addi-
tional legislation is needed is conceded
by all parties. And. as has long been
known. the trusts connect with all par
ties, and have contributed to the war

cult business. and in all its phases calls

Saving the Babies.
From the New York World.

The success achieved in the past by
various societies organized for the pre-
vention of infant mortality and disease
has been so notable that the public gen
orally is likely to regard the activities
of baby week with more attention and
more favor than are usually granted to
similar spectacular movements. The rec
ord of work done attests not only the
worth of the service but the right of the
workers to ask further help. public or
private According to figures given out
by the board of health, the infant death
rate of the city in 1904 was 162 for every
LOCO within the first year after birth.
Last year the rate was only 102. This
represents the saving of the lives OF up
ward of 5000 babies within a single
twelyemonth.

". WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER NC

the high protectionists have sudden
ly concluded to look elsewhere for
campaign thunder.
This change of front is due to the
very obvious fact that the effect of
the European War upon the sugar
market contains an excellent defense
of the action of the Democrats in
providing for a gradual reduction of
sugar tariffs until free sugar is
reached.
The reduction in effect prior to
the outbreak of the war had reduced
the retail price of sugar from 6 and
I cents a pound to and ) cents "a
pound Under the present war CON
ditions, housewives are paying s., 3
and 10 cents a pound. The price has
fuctuated somewhat: but the exist
ing average-with little prospect of
early relief-is about . cents a
pound.
The situation amply corroborates
the Democratic argument that high
sugar tariffs hugely increase the
price of sugar to the consumers of
the United States, and constitute a
heavy tribute laid upon the general
public for the benefit of very few
people. The high tariff creates an
artificial condition strongly resemb-
ling that created by the European
war. The Congress and the Govern
ment are powerless in the face of
the conditions caused by the war;
but they can---and have in the I'm
derwood Act-prevent such situa-
tior existing during normal times.
