The Tariff Plank.
(New York World.

Having taken the greed and graft out of the tariff, the democratic party in it's platform naturally onits the fierce denunciatiOn of custom-house taxation for the enrichment of pri- vate interests which long character ized it's utterances on this subject. Some people will miss also the pro- position that congress, has no con- stitutional power to impose tariffs ex- cept for revenue, and the familiar words "a tariff for revenue only'' are not used, though the sentimeE< is there in general terms.
 Tariff blanks in both parties vary greatly from time to time. High tariff republicans have not always proclaimed and glorif1ed extortion as in the days of Hanna and Mckinley, Only on a few occasions have low tariff democrats accepted witho ut qualification the radical theory that because protection was likely to be abused the principle must be de- nounced and abandoned. The fact is that democrats as well as republicans when in power have always recogniz- ed the propriety of safeguarding American enterprise and industry
 What makes this years democratic tariff plank noteworthy is it's candid recognition, by Endorsement of non- partisan tariff commission. of the leeitimate business aspects of tariff taxation as applied to foreign compe- tition in manufac ctures and trade. Civ ing congress accurate information and expert advice. such a body should prove as discouraging to the extrem- ists who would burn custom-houses as to the gluttOns of monopoly who would turn them into robbers roosts

verse when he commanded fifty Spanish cavalrymen and 4,000 IndiaR allies.
 "One of the most sanguinary revolts of the Yaquis was that which occurred in 1925 when they were led by thee re- markabIe chief known as Banderas, because of his banner which was said to be a relic of the Montezuma en1- pire. 3andcras was a resourceful or ganizer as well as a capable fighter. He manufactured his own gunpowder and made treaties with neighborinf tribes. He also recognized the advan. tage of preparedness and engaged several white soldiers to drill his tribesmen in the science of war At the end of three years he had been so successful that he was able to effect an advantageous peace with the Mex. ican government, one of the conditions being that he be made a salaried gen. eral of the regular army. A few years later Banderas led a second revolt but this time he suffered disastrous de- feat, was captured and shot in the presence of his soldiers
 "The Yaquis take their name from the Rio Yaqui (Chief River), which flows for 500 miles through the moun- tain gorges of Sonora, and finally emptying into the Gulf of California. Along this river the Indians make their homes of reed and adobe, with roofs of grass and mud. The war riors are a wel1-proportioned race, but they are prone to overinduIgence in the native drink, mescal Family ties are more or less negative among the men, the custom of exchanging wives being a popular practice of a not distant past. They are closely re- lated to the Mayos who from time to time have been forced into an un-> willing alliance with their more bell licose knsmen.
 "A noteworthy characteristic of the Yaquis is their fondness and talent for music. They have retained many of their primitive dances, but the cus- tom of tattooing the chin and arms ts' no longer practised to any general ex- tent"

 Does Woodrow Wilson think for a moment that he will be chosen presi- dent by the electorate on which he is inflicting the weather that now op- presses us, and has oppressed us since he got his hands we'll on Old Probs? the winter of 1915-16 was of so dia- bolical character that all the old liars who were accustomed to boast about the hard seasons of their childhood were permanently alienated from the support of Wilson; not a baseball fan, a tennis player, a golfer, a young man longing to escort the only girl through Lovers Lane, will vote for the creature who is responsible for the season now forced upon us
 This man, if he is a man, Wilson talks about Americanism, and then Withholds from us American weather The stuff he is working off today, and worked off yesterday and for un- counted days before that, is hyphe-
 
 can, or good German, or good French, or good Austrian weather; it is an lndescribable mess of reflected weather civilized world and imposed upon us in the name of a false neutrality.
 Charles E. Hughes would never give us such weather. Colonel Roosevelt would change it in a moment. They do not deal Tn psychology in the weather. Ihey believe In straight, out and out, undiluted American weather of the kind we had before the democrats became protectionists,.
 Wilson's golf game is very bad: he Is probably glad to keep off the links, and have more time to think about how many strokes he intends to take off his card the next time he goes out. But not everybody likes to play the game that way. Some men not less familiar with the niblicI< than Woodrow is are willing to take their chances in the bunkers. None of them will vote for him next fall. They will vote for Hughes. When Hughes was governor we had good weather in New York state. That shows what kind of an executive Mr. Hughes is And New Jersey had abominable weather while Wilson was governor over there. If that does not prove the case against him, what will? Even Taft, strive as he did, could not over- come the malevolent powers of Wood- row to cloud the skies and turn the wind in the wrong direction.
 A patient people has stood a great deal from Wilson. It's good temper is exhausted. This mock June of his has settled Wilson's hash.

FROM THE GOLDEN BOOKS.
 We Misintern Death.

Civilian Croswell Doane). We are to stupid about death. We
 will not learn How it is wages paid to those who
 earn, How it is the gift for which on earth
 we yearn, To be set free from bondage to the
 flesh; How it is turning seed-corn into
 grain, How it is winning heaven's eternal gain, How it means freedom evermore from
 pain, How it untangles every moral mesh. We are so selfish about death. We
 count our grief Far more than we consider their re-
 lief When the great Reaper gathers in the
 sheaf, No more to know the seasons con-
 stant change; And We forget that it means only
 life, Life with all joy, peace, rest and glory
 rife, The victory won, and ended all the
 strife, And heaven no longer far away or
 strange.

RebelIious PrOgressives. |.
(New York Times.)

The Bull Moose bellows and kicks The doors of the Hughes corral stand wide open in invitation, but a lot of the "'pesky critters" can't be driven in. Cheers for Wilson at the meet ing of the progressive county com mittee. This is flat blasphemy and 1ese majeste. Tt is the sense of this
 m eeting that if Colonel Roosevelt
 should not accept the progressive nomination the National Progressive party should nominate candidates of it's own faith for the offices of presi- dent and vice president" such is the spirit Of disobedience, of rebellion, among the progressives. Until June G6, when the Progressive National committee meets at Chicago, MT. Hughes is on probation, so to speak; but there can be no doubt of the reS suit. Among MT. Roosevelt's virtues and they are many, and may he dis play them, in the soundest of health and the best of spirits, for long years to come!-Cato's leaning to the van quished cause is not included. Ho loves company. He needs tho k1ndling ardor of crowds His most eager followers have moro Of the martyr spirit. They would follow him gladly on a forlorn hope, but it is a good deal to much to expect them to troop meekly back into the camp of their old enemies be- cause their chief and hero has no stomach for minorities. Not every body has the mental elasticity and the fcrgiving disposition required for~ that. Back to the reactionaries Of 1912, the "crooks" of 1912, to MT. Shoot and. MT. Crane and MT. Pen rose, and the rest of the accursed ones who stole the republican convention of 1912, who are close to tlle business and bosom of the rep ab- liCan candidate of 1912! Saul spare> the whole tribe of Amalekites and asks his people to take bread and salt in the black tents of the sons of Esau, seeks to incorporate the faithful into the tribe of unbelievers.
 The dem Ocratic party under MT. Wilson must be more congenial to progressives than reactionary repub- licanism. Besides a higher loyalty to MT Roosevelt commands them to disobey him now. If he is to have a, political future, if the man of action that he is may ever hope to translate his ideas into action, his fate rests upon the defeat of MT. Hughes. In 1920 his chance may come. No doubt the thought is in the progress sive mind.

Washington D. C., June 20.-NO h. dlans in the southwest have earned greater respect for their fighting abll- ity than the Yaquis, who were report ed recently as threatening the line Of communications of one of the Ameri- can forces operating along the Mex lca border in pursuit of bandits. Con- corning this warlike tribe the National Geographic society has issued the fol- lowing bulletin from its headquarters in Washington:
 "A distinguished ethnologist has said of the Yaquis that they are the only Indians on the continent who surrounded by whites, from the be- ginning of their history, have ever been fully subdued. In spite of the numerous defeats which they have sustained at the hands of Spaniards and Mexicans dating back to the first half of the sixteenth century, they are today brave, stalwart, athletic race. admired for their industry as we'll as their courage. Most of the Yaouis are to be found in the southern part of Sonora, one of Mexico's border states, to the south of Arizona. Here they raise corn, cotton and the mescal- producing maguey. The women are expert weavers, while the men are always in demand as miners sailors. farm laborers and as expert pearl dt- Vers. Most of their trading is done at the port of Guaymas, on the Gulf Of California, where one of their chief articles of barter is the salt gath cred on the adjoining coas.

It is probable that at the present time there are not more than 20,000, about twen- ty per cent. of whom were transport ed by the Mexican government to Yu- catan and Tehuantepec a few years ago as the surest means of quelling the uprisings which continued to oc- cur periodically. As far back as 1909 the Yaquis were a dreaded foe, Cap tain Hurdaide in that year sustaining three successive defeats at their hands, meeting with his most serious re-

A Noteworthy Distinction.
(New York Herald.)

The newly elected president Of the American Medical association, the largest representative body of phy- sicians in this country, is pr. Charles H. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn. He comes from a city of less than ten thousand inhabitants. Usually it is said that professional men in small towns have no opportunities to de- velop their talents and display their faculties. Many seem to have the feeling that gems of purest ray serene" confined to small towns are as much hidden as those which "the dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear" This is, however, the second of the Mayo brothers to be chosen the president of the American Medical association, the blue ribbon of medi- cine in this country.
 The overcroWding of the profes- sions in the cities leads to many abuses, so that this striking example of appreciation of little towns men is worth while calling to public at tention. Success depends on the man and not on his environment. The small tow may afford opportunities denied in the crush ef the big city.

When the War is Over.
Indianapolis Star.)

Paris is said to be planning for a great industrial boom to begin when the war is over. The idea is to make the French metropolis a great manu- featuring center. Many of the import ant industries of France have hereto fore been carried on in the smaller cities, some of them now in the war zone and this has perhaps led to the suggestion that they be removed from a dangerous neighborhOod.
 It is hardly likely that these smaller cities, which will also be eager to re- store their prosperity, will look kind lv upon the Paris scheme. The mere fact, however, that it is seriously dis cussed goes to show that great changes are sure to follow the resumption of commercial activities in the war-rid- den countries. If bright gay Paris is to be turned into a smoky French Pittsburgh 1t is not transformation that will please the tourist world, but such an alteration is not impossible and equal metamorphOses may be looked for in other old word cities.
 When the war Is over" many changes will take place. There will be a reorganization of industrial forces and activities all along the line in the necessary and instinctive movement for recuperation. It will be a new Europe in fact; not in geography, for none of the belligerents will be "crushed," but in the renewal of h. dustries of civil life and in the restor- ation of the institutions of civilization and peace. It will be a fierce compe- titive struggle so far as the industries are concerned and will affect this country. Readiness to meet it is one form of the preparedness we should undertake.

he pretends to possess and clears the border and northern part of his do- main of that vast aasemblage of bandits and briGands the United States is going into that country for the purpose of cleaning it out. This task may take some years to accom- plish; but it can be done eventually and now is the time to start, unless Carranza wishes the work to be done by his own department of military.
 There is no desire on the part of the United States to wage war upon or to intervene in Mexico. Senator Ollie James in his speech before the democratic national convention last week at St. Louis defined our position when he said, in effect, this country seeks not one foot of foreign terri tory and, by the eternal God, it will not relinQuish one foot of territory to any other nation. We are not bent on aggression. These assurances have been given to General Carranza by President Wilson. It is time their sig nificance dawned upon the First Chief. He has now received his answer, an answer that the American people will stand willing to back to the last word, to the last syllable. This answer, forti- fled by the regular army of the United States and by the national guard should have the desired effect unless MT. Carranza has entirely lost his head. For political reasons he has brought matters where they are. To make showing before his own people he has attempted to defy the great government of the United States, has even gone to the extent of insulting the President. If he has. been bluff ing, his bluff is now called The cards must be thrown on the table and, in a short while we shall see who holds the winning hand.

Hughes and the Hyphen.
(NeW York Tribllne>

NA>S" l Ol IA iIlOuuS).
 The trouble with such a statement as MT. Hughes made pledging him. self to "Out-and- out Americarism lies in the fact that it is. precisely the sort of statement that has been coming from German-American sources from the very beginning of the european war. The German Amerlcans who cheered the sinking of the Lusltania with equal eagerness proclaimed themselves loyal Amer lcans ana denounced the lack of pa- tr1ot1sm of the women and children who got in the way of the German submarine.
 This newspaper is not trying to e,,o- barass Mir. Hughes. It wants tn eao him elected. It is anxious to do ,11 that it can to contribute to his vic tory. It believes that when RT, Hughes says he stands for an "r, diluted Americanism' he means +ba+ his policy on the hyphen question :s our policy
 But unfortunately this view will not be sufficiently widely held. MT. Hugh es has made no declaration on the matter of AmeriCanism that MT Wilson ha : snot made a score of times. In fact. MT. Wilson's utterances have been far more specific and definite than Mr. Hughes and have earned him opposi- tiOn and denun citation.
 Many, many months ago this news paper said:
 It would be better for the repu]oli- can party to indorse Woodrow Wilson in 1916 than to permit the principle to be established that to defend Amer 1can interest is to commit political suicide.
 The Tribune meant that on July 16, 1915, and it means it on June A, 1916. It believes now as it believed then that if the German-A erican in terests are identified with any candi- date, that candidate will be defeated by Americans without regard to party Only MT. Hughes can decide whether his candidacy shall have this label and only he can prevent it.
