Politics and the Tariff.

A popular cry is o-"take the tariff
out of. politics" 1t cannot be done.
In the very nature of things in our
government, the tariff is in politics,
and politics is in the tariff. Schools
of political thought and campaigns Of
political appeal grow out of the tariff.
Such was in the beginning. such is
now, and such ever shall be while our
present form of government lasts.

Minority Party VIII BE ousted.

Business did not elect Nj. Wilson.
1t was not in favor Of his election.
But it was powerless in the face of
the Republican division. As it could
not heal that, it was obliged to ac-
cept the result at the polls, which
brought in the minority party by a
minority vote. The wrangling Re
publican politicians, and not the bust
ness men, were responsible for what
took place in November. 1912.
Since then business has had "a time
of it." Hence the assertion that at

In favor Of a change.

Working Upon Road.

Atty. Gen. Turner found a leg II
means of completing main market
road No. Is, Sandusky to ClevelandJ
in Erie county, work on which was
stopped recently because former State
Highway Commissioner Marker had
sought to make a short cut by building
a short section of new road. The law
provides that main market and inter-
county highways may be made only,
on roads already established. Work
already had been started on tt e
stretch of new road when it was found
the proceeding was illegal. In an opi1,-
ion to Highway Commissioner Cowen,
the attorney general declared that in
asmuch as Erie county commissioners
recently have declaretd the pro-
posed short route a regular highway
work on it may be resumed. The bid
under which the contract was awarded
now may be considered as a new bid,
he suggested.
