THE JITNEY'S PASSING

It is wonderful what a vogue the
jitney enjoyed for a time. It came as
a supposed relief and solution Of the
transportation question OF large cities.
but IL was more OF a fad than a re.
form. At least II has met the fate of
all fads which inevitably run TO their
tiresome ends. The jitney had but a
brief career in Wheeling. for the rea.
son that the street car service was
quite acceptable TO the community.
II served as a novelty here. not as an
economic demand. But in other cities
10 did work havoc with traction line
receipts. This was more the fault OF
the Indifferent service given by street
a companies than any special virtue
Of the jitney. In these places the
traction interests denounced 70 as a
malicious disturber OF vested interests.

ADMISSION OF FAILURE

House. in which President Wilson re-
verses himself on the question Of a
tariff board he says: Il have had in
this change Of mind no thought what
ever OF a change OF attitude towards
b so-called protection question" or
course not. But 10 s. rather amusing.
or distressing. according 10 the way
you look az 10. to find the President
by this act repudiating the Underwood
law. which at the time IL passed la
declared TO have been the best tariff
bill ever adopted What else is Their,
10 say about his change Of front. The
acknowledged necessity for a tariff
board is an admission that the Under.
wood measure Is a failure-an ab-o-
"a failure. With this concession on
record there Is only one possible rea-
son for its inadequacy. and that is the
absence Of any protection provisions
In Il.
No one expected the President %
take such a violent summcrsaulf az

clear that not only the President but
also the entire Democratic party have

THE SENATE is SURPRISED

The President has certainly done
the surprising thing in nominating
Louis ID. Brandeis, OF Boston. to the
vacancy on the bench OF the United
States Supreme Court occasioned by
the death Of Justice Lamar. II Is sur
prising because Mr.. Brandeis' name
a never been mentioned in this con-
nection. but more than anything else
II is surprising that the President. when
he had decided not TO do the graceful
thing in naming an eminent and quail
fife former Republican President.
which he was urged to do BY influ-
entail Democratic leaders. he should
have gone out OF his own party for
his selection. Many competent Demo
Gratis were on the waiting list.
It is not a question of Mr.. Brandeis'
abilities. though II is doubtful If an
able. brilliant and aggressive lawyer.
such as he has been. is temperament
ally fit for high judicial duties. Nor
can there be any objection 10 him be-
cause he is a jew. But there Is ample
cause for the hot indignation of the
Senate over his appointment. which is
resented by Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike. OF curse politics should
not be considered in measuring a man
for such an exalted judicial position,
but it may be that the indignant Sen
ators think a relentless prosecutor Of
corporations could not function i'm.
partially on the bench. Politically Mr..
Brandeis is a sort of a political hybrid.
although described in the dispatches
as being an independent with Demo
cratic leanings. Yet he supported Col.
Roosevelt in 1912. That is something
President Wilson has reason to be
grateful for. Was il gratitude or OBJ
stinacy hat influenced the President!

SATURDAY, JANUARY 90, 1915.

Gratis wish to have il eliminated from
the political issues OF the day. In
1912 the country by its vote declared
overwhelmingly for protection. Since
the trial OF the free trade theories OF
the Democracy It Is more pronounced
than ever in favor OF the Republican
policy OF protection. II is a political
question. There can be no such thing
as a non-partisan tariff commission.
This side OF the question was treated
in an intelligent manner by a speaker
at the annual meeting OF the American
Tariff League. who contended that the
tariff like all other political questions.
is a question which must be deter
mined by the people themselves. Con-
gress must deal with the question &C
cording as the people have declared.
Congress not relegate the ques-
ton OF the tariff TO "a court or com
mission TO decide whether the policy
the people have endorsed and ap-
proved shall be really adopted or
rejected No one has put forward a
more cogent reason han this in oppo-
sition TO %entrusting the tariff 10 n
tariff commission or board; least OF all
to a tarin-making adjunct created by
a free-trade Congress and selected by
a free-trade President. Such a com.
mission could not conceivably plan a
revision Of the tariff which would be
satisfactory TO the friends OF protec-
ton who are in the majority in this
country.
