Old Guard Back on Job.


The return to Congress of a number
of old standpat leaders from states
and districts in which Aldrich has been
the ideal for a quarter of a century
is hailed with joy by special interest
press and politicians. Business is to
be revived and labor is to be re-
warded.
Already the first number of the pro-
gram Of a new administration is an.
nounced-"restore the Payne-Aldrich
tariff" They propose to rescue our
perishing industries" They are al.
ready counting upon large increase
in duties all along the line" OF course,
it will raise prices and increase the
cost of living. The consumer will
have to pay the piper. But what of
that? We must have prosperity" at
any price.

rest within ten years. 1t is now pro-
posed to require no payment whatever
for the first decade. and extend the
total credit to twenty years.
Anyone familiar with the problems
of the pioneer farmer will appreciate
the wisdom Of such a plan. The pres.
ent system of selling public lands does
not encourage the honest, Industrious,
intelligent farmer, who has no capital
but his strength and character. 1t
takes several years to develop new
land and make it profitable, whether
1t is logged-off timber land or part of
a government irrigation project. Even
when the settler has capital, he had
far better put 1t into his farm for the
sake Of rapid and efficient production
than pay it over to q state or national
government that doesn't need 1t.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and
most other new countries. not. to men
ton some older ones, have proved the
merit Of deferred payments and liberal
credit for farmers. A similar policy
in this country would hasten the build
ing up Of the West and provide homes
for tens Of thousands Of families to
whom independence IL now q vain
dream.

Natlon's Judgment Of Bryan.

The San Domingo inquiry is drawing
to a close. The fuss and fury Of its
earlier days has subsidized in large
measure, and the proofs are by no
means as sensational as the original
charges. 1t is evident that much was
said which could not be established by
fact, and many statements were admit
ted which might better have been left
unsaid. These have simply tended to
destroy public confidence in the pro-
ceedings. Until the case is closed,
however. it is just as we'll to suspend
judgment. but an incident of the case
which should here be set down is the
splendid tribute to Secretary of State
Bryan contained in the universal news
paper discussion of the charges made
against him by some of the witnesses.
Not one Of the papers of the country
bitterly opposing him as many of
them do-has failed to declare that the
effort to impugn his integrity and pur-
ity Of character Is buncombe of the
rankest sort. Even the witness e'hc
brought that idea to the SUFFICE
mitted that it impressed him as "ror.
After Mr.. Bryan's many years in the
public limelight to occupy SO complete
ly that exalted position in the Ma.
tons mind is surely a tribute as desir-
able as 1t Is deserving.

tn. meArdI. Bills.

There Is one virtue about the Nc.
Ardle bills passed by the Senate We'd
nesday. They do not hide under any
false colors. They are frankly and
avowedly measures designed to rob
a democratic governor of power over
state boards. They are purely partisan
bills dictated by what the machine
leaders term political expediency.
Yet 1t was over the vehement pro-
tests of loyal Republicans that the
bills were passed. "This is poor poll
TICS" cried Senator Brown of What
com. 1T is partisan politics played
on a wrong basis. 1T has the smell
of the Aberdeen convention" declared
Senator Davis, of Pierce county,
Progressive, who, with Senator White.
Of Pierce. a Republican, voted against
the bill.
Progressives who have gone back
to the Republican fold need have no
decisions now about the principles Of
the Republican machine. The action
OF the leaders In lacking an emer-
gency clause ON the McArdle bills to
overcome the danger of referendum
may be good politics but It shows a
material lack Of G. o. P. faith in the
voters of the state.
The same old gang which pulled off
the Aberdeen steal is in the seat at
Olympia and 1t is operating the ma
chine with the same high regard for
everything which interferes with the
progress which its leaders deem neces-
sary.

rational human being doubt that the
tariff interests would fight to the last
ditch to maintain their unlawful prof.
it,? They had many times warned
tho public that It would be unsafe to
interfere with them. It was an open
boast Of standpat statesmen at the
beginning Of the tariff session under
the present administration that "the

American people pay dearly for their
folly in the election Of 1912; that whom

ception of some of the more highly
finished products, accorded to those
industries fair measure of protection

ed. For the most part 1t is true that
the farmer cannot be materially bene-
fitted by tariff duties upon his prod.

on the farm, he has foreign competi.
ton maintained under conditions which
entitle him to the same measure Of
protection accorded to the American
manufacturer. This he did not receive
In the Democratic tariff bill. But on
the whole the bill was PROTECTIVE
TARIFF MEASURE, and infinitely
better and fairer to the American
people than the Payne-Aldrich law.
The investigation of Taft's tariff
board proved beyond dispute that many

hind the tariff duties Of the Payne
Aldrich law. ranging from one to two

production at home and abroad"
No such tariff monstrosity can ever

the political success Of few Senators
