The Stupidest Convention.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR Theodore Roosevelt has done the big
thing, the patriotic thing in refusing the
Progressive nomination. While millions OF
citizens will be disappointed in not being able
to cast their ballots for him next November
all will be grateful to him that there is but
one candidate in opposition to President
Wilson, and, should Wilson be defeated. il
will be due TO Roosevelts unselfsh action
that this country will at last be free from
the humiliating "watchful waiting" "too
proud to fight" policy of the present admin
stration.
But what spectacle it must be to for
cign nations to see convention supposed to
represent the people refuse to accept the
candidate whose name is on everybody's lips
as the one man for the crisis (the man who
has made the issues on which the campaign
is to be fought, and who would be sure OF
electon) and nominate a man whose views
were unknown and whose election is doubt
full.
Theodore Roosevelt will always stand as
one of the greatest of American Presidents
He does not need another term in the White
House to add TO his fame, but the American
people need him as they never needed him
before; II is our loss, not his.
The Republican Convention just closed was
never exceeded in stupidity, save by the con-
vention of 1912

CuddIing Up to Protection.

II is well that Colonel Henry Waiter
son is not a delegate to the st. Louis con-
vention. When Mr.. Clevelands friends
tried to stradde the tariff question in the
convention of 1892 the colonel arose in
his wrath, smashed the Cleveland machine.
beat the resolutions committee TO a fraz-
zle and secured the insertion in the plat
form of the grand old Democratic shib-
boleth: Eve declare it to be a funda-
mental principle of the Democratic party
that the Federal government has no Con
stitutional power TO impose and collect
tariff duties. except for purposes of reve-
nue. only"
The very words of the Watterson amend
ment of 1892 were repeated in the Demo
cratic platform of 1912, on which Mr. Will
son was elected President, yet now we hear
from st. Louis that the Democratic con-
vention is going to approve the creation OF
q permanent tariff commission. whose duty
it will be to construct schedules based not
on revenue needs, but on conditions OF pro-
duction and competition at home and
abroad And this appropriation OF pro-
tectionist notions is not to stop at the
erection of the sort of commission which
Democratic spokesman have always de-
nounced. and which the Democratic party
abolished in 1918 as soon as it got back
into power. The convention is also to in
dorse the policy of levying duties for the
purpose of protecting home producers
against foreign competitors who seek to
dump their SURPRISES in our market.
Under the orthodox Democratic theory,
which has ruled in so many Democratic
national platforms, the foreign manutact-
urer who sells his product in our market
at or under cost ought to be hailed as
public benefactor. But now he is to be
treated as an enemy, conspiring against
American welfare, against whom the tax
ing mower NAV be used without reference
to revenue needs Revenue may even be
sacrificed for the purpose of excluding his
TOO cheap and plentiful offerings.
This is sound doctrine from our point
Of view. But to find it in Democratic
national platform will be a new and sad
eyperience TO those who have fought and
bled in the ancient faith-who have wor-
shipped at the altar Of the star-eyed
goddess these many decades past. How
are the mighty fallen. Where are the
Ghosts of Frank Hurd, William r. Nor
rison. Roger @. Mills, William L. Will
son. Fernando Wood and S. S. Cox?
We are glad that Colonel Watterson has
avoided the melancholy scene at st. Louis.
1t would be Goetterdaemmerung for him
and for all the gallant and brilliant spirits
of his generation who fixed their imprint
on the Democratic doctrines of the past.

The Public's Fight.

The fight of the $4,000 cloak and suit
workers has ceased TO be a fight by indl-
viduals or a class of individuals. In re-
fusing every offer of arbitration the man
ufacturers have set themselves against
something larger and more formidable
than the striking East Side. They are
affronting the will and opinion OF every
fair-minded citizen of New York, and the
interest of the two hundred thousand men,
women and children facing starvation as
q result of the lockout becomes the interest
of the entire community. The Tribune is
glad to print the following appeal in their
behalf:

facturers declined TO meet the committee AZ

drawn from the attitude and statements OF
the manufacturers is that they rely upon tne

Tho ground upon which the manufacturers

Mr.. LLOYD George In Ireland.

The Dublin correspondent Of an Eng
lish paper processes to detect signs Of fur
Their trouble i'm Ireland. He believes that
the reopening of the Home Rule contro-
versy has heartened the rebellious element,
who reason that by holding further vio-
lence as a threat over the heads of the au-
thorites they can bargain better and get
any terms they want"
This is probably only roundabout way
of expressing his own disapproval of the
so-called settlement outlined in Mr.. Red
mond's speech at the recent meeting of the
Nationalist party in Dublin. The speedy
collapse of the instruction must have con-
\ WINGED the leaders of that ill-timed and
n insane adventure that further efforts of
the sort must be absolutely futile. The
rebels were thoroughly organized on that
occasion and no adequate preparation had
been made by the government to provide
against rising. Yet in very few days
the rebellion was suppressed and the or
ganization broken up. What hope could
there possibly be in a second attempt at
this time?
1t will be well enough if anything APP
preaching unanlmity can be secured for
the plan proposed by Mr.. Lloyd George.
The provision that while the war lasts six
Ulster counties are to be left under the
imperial government may conceivably be
accepted as an emergency measure. al
though the Unionists Of Ulster have al

Sir Horace Plunkctt. who is not a
Unionist, still less a supporter Of Sir Ed

Covenanters toward the majority Of Irish
men quite frankly and fairly more than
two wears ago. "The Ulstermen," he said
"believe this majority to be, in the first
place. so hopelessly unbusinesslike and dis
honest as to be incapable Of just or eff
Gent administration; in the second place
bigoted or priest-ridden to such a degree
that no Protestant can hope for fair treat
ment from them; in the third place, root
