Mr.. Milson and the Thrill.

After thinking it over for nearly
three years President Wilson has ra-
rived at the point reached by Presi-
dent Taft in the summer Of 1909, He
has concluded that there ought to be
a tariff commission. Mr.. Taft through
bearing the burden of southern devel-
lished a tariff board. This board lasted
only until the Democrats got control
Of the House Of Representatives in
the sixty-second Congress. Then they
refused to appropriate further for its
maintenance and it went out Of exist
ence.
To all intents and purposes the tariff
commission that President Wilson re-
commeuds will be on par with the
tariff board. It will be authorized to
Investigate the effect of customs laws,
the effect of duties, the relation be-
tween rates on raw materials and
those on finished or partly finished
products, to perfect schedules and
classifications, to inquire into the cost
Of production at home and abroad,
collect facts, study laws and regula-
tons as TO entry, appraisements, in
voices and collection, etc. OF course,
the commission, theoretically, will be
non-partisan. So was the federal re-
serve board supposed to be, but 1t
isn't. So was the federal trade COM
mission to be, but the president was
careful to overlook bonatide Republi-
cans in making his appointments.

A Sen Of Oranges.

The fact that there will be no Jaffan

Protection and Presperitr.

The Manufacturers Record, publish
ed In Baltimore says:
This country is, at heart, for pro-
faction. Upon the question Of protec-
lion as one OF the Fundamental issues
Of the day will be fought the next
political campaign.
The business men Of the South, the
leaders in cotton manufacturing, in
iron and steel making, in lumber in
coal and iron ore mining and in many
other lines OF the mineral industry,
the sugar producers, the rice and the
peanut growers, the men in the shop
and the foundry, the men who have
learned how false are the claims OF
the free traders, are all for protec-
ton.
IN southern politicians ignore these
facts and keep on playing with their
wornout theories of free trade, they
will have no one but themselves to
blame for their inevitable overwhelm-
ing defeat.
The many people Of the South who
are protectionists at heart owe It TO
themselves and to the welfare of their
country to meet the issue squarely
and no longer be held in bondage by
the politicians.
Intellectual slavery is worse than
physical slavery
Tens Of thousands Of the most in
telligent men Of the South who are

lection was more needed than ii will

Flat Contradiction.

In regard 10 President Wilson's
foreign policy there is one marked
difference between its application to
Mexico and its application to the Eu-
ropean belligerents. In Mexico Pre-
sident Wilson has told every Amer
lean sojourner 10 run home TO this
country for his life, while in Europe
he has told every American to travel
on belligerent ships, whether armed
or munition-laden or not, and wheth-
or passing through war zones or not,
as right,
This is u fiat contradiction as to
the rights and safety of American
citizens in foreign countries or on
foreign ships, which in law are Moth
ing but floating pieces of national ter
ritory. But President Wilson has thus
reversed himself by his own will and
motion, and he alone is responsible
for it.

Turning TO Republican Party.

There is not much likelihood that
the Republican party will depart es-
sentialiy from the ground it has main
tanned on the big issues that divide
political opinion. 1t will continue to
expound the safe ''middle-of-the-
road" progression that means that
every forward step is permanent
advance and not an ill-advised leap
from which a retreat must be made
later at the price of discontinue and
pronounced loss OF public confidence.
There are some things, moreover on
which the party is bound to be con-
sentative. OF such are the frlnda-
mental provisions that underlie our
Republican form OF government, and
which have been under fire from var
ious quarters.
Unless signs fail. the sound con-
structiye forces OF the nation are
turning again to the party that has
established so many landmarks of
progress in this republic.

and we suppose will prove so to the
attorney general, II he is in harmony
with the company he keeps.
The United States Coal and Coke
Company took the position that they
were producing over 100000 tons OF
coal per fatal injuries as compared
with their neighbors who were pro.
ducing 10000 tons to the person
killed. They submitted the argument
to the legislature that 1t was unfair
with such n record as they were max
ing in the prevention Of accidents, to
be penalized for their efforts in this
regard; that they were not only pay
ing their own indemnities, but also
were contributing a large part to their
neighbors' indemnities, who were
more careless than themselves as the
records disclosed, and again, on ac-
count OF S12,000,000 having been set
aside by them for the purpose of in
Identifying their employees, they were
in position to give their injured work
men a greater consideration in case Of
accidents than could he given under
the state compensation law, and ask
ed il the Legislature was going to
deny them this right. The legislature
decided in favor of the United States
Coal and Coke Company and other
employers interested in the question,
and permitted section ffty-four to be
inserted giving them the right, after
the company had furnished a substan-
tial bond to the state for the full per-
Torrance of the compensation law, to

carry their own insurance.
The position was taken by Mr.. Ord
and some OF his associates that they
had been buncoed by the chief execu-
tive. We will leave the merits OF the
case with our readers as 10 the fair
ness of the proposition.
The Kanawha coal operators took
the position that they desired the cleo
tive feature for the reason that the
wanted to he insured against exoroi-
tant rates, as was the case with the
industry owners of the finished pro-
duct class in the northern panhandle,
taking the position that the greatest
protection they could possibly have
would be the right to carry their own
insurance in case of extravaganza or
excessive rates being put in effect by
the state compensation commissioner.
As to the soundness Of this argument
we again leave it to the public TO
decide.
Ire is Aroused.
The great majority Of the indus
tries who favored the elective feature
stated that they did not care to carry
their own compensation, nor did they
intend to do so, but they simply want
ed their right as a protection. the
elective feature, whether it be good or
bad, was laid at the feet Of The COVER
nor and went further toward arousing
the ire OF the Ord-Vinson combination
against him than any other one thing.
1t was not the governors action that
brought about this amendment. lie
said in his message that he did not
favor the idea, but he did not make
any special effort to oppose 1t, feel-
ing that the legislature was capaDie
of handling the situation, as was the
case in all other matters, after pre-
senting the facts to them rs he under
stood them. Perhaps executive inter-
ference would NOT have been objection
able here to the attorney general and
his supporters had it been to their
way Of thinking.
The new law permits the commits
sioner to fix rate sufficient to insure
a solvent fund based upon the pre-
vious record, with an additional ten
per cent to provide an emergency
fund. Tth attorney general makes
complaint as to the wrongful admin
istration of this fund. His office has
full charge Of the legal department.
in an advisory way, and it would seem
to us that II the compensation de-
partment is being wrongfully admin
istrated that 1t would be his duty to
point out the fact instead of making
unprovoked attacks on this important
department Of the state government.
He has been asked many times by
the department for opinions, but In
every instance these matters have
been referred to Assistant General
Lively, who, rs is generally known,
does the greater part OF the legal
work of the state aside from what
is done by special counsel and paid
for in addition any any money which
goes to the attorney generals office,
which the records will disclose is in
deed n considerable amount. 1t is true
that the five lawyers connected with
the legal department. Of the state
ought to be able to take care Of the
states litigation.
Some Statistics.
The compensation department has
now loaned s1,O41 10000. which Yields
an average Of fifty-hve per cent Civ
ing to the fund annually over s57 900,
most of which is invested IN county.
