ONLY ROAD TO PROTECTION.

That eminent Western PHILOSOPHER
William Allen White. exclaims that
the Progressives are uncompromising
protectionists, and he might have ad-
ded b they were compromisingly
foolish in assisting in the election OF
a President who destroyed protection.
They are still of the same mind. ac-
cording TO Mr.. White and others. but
they are still foolish in persistinR in
maintaining a weak organization that
can " be in a position to observe
their belief in protection. II can only
be secured through the Republican
party.
Not long ago another eminent Pro
gressive. George W. Perkins. in an
open letter to Secretary Redfeld. took
notice of the Democratic administra-
tons indicated concern lest this u
try be made a dumping ground for
European manufacturers when the war
is over. How" Mr.. Perkins asks OF

Happily. this will not be the result:
because most Progressives OF 1912 are
wiser than Mr.. Perkins. They will
not be content with d~enouncing the
Wilson tariff In 1916. They viii
