SETTLE THE TARIFF
Real Issue That Is Before the
Country.
Democrats Have UnexamPled Oppor-
tunity of Benefiting the Nation If
They Take Wise and
Statesmanlike View.

stalWart Democratic newspaper
recently suggested that in these times
Of world upheaval, when the national
safety and industrial security are the
chief issues of the Republican party
might perform disinterested service
by joining with the Democrats in
nominating President Wilson. While
the suggestion was not taken seriously
by the Republicans, there is in it
germ of thought which the Democrats
themselves might well develop vita
profit to the nation.
It is true that economic as well as
political conditions are changing
throughout the world. This is hardly
the time for narrowness or petty po
Iitical prejudices. 1t is time for the
settlement of great issues and prin-
ciples rather than the enhancement OF
the political fortunes of any particular
/ leaders
! While it is hardly to be expected
that there will be any crumbling of
party lines, the Democratic organiza-
ton could show it's patriotism and
| broad-mindedness by eliminating the
tariff from the campaign. This is the
great issue Of industrial safety and it
is a matter affecting the prosperity
and happiness OF all citizens. The only
obstacle to a permanent ard construc-
tive tariff policy is the historic atti-
tude of the Democratic party in favor
of tariff for revenue only, which in
the past three years has been shown
to be complete failure.
The Democratic platform contains
number of protection planks; there
is Endorsement Of antidumping bills
to protect the dyestuff industry, the
tariff commission, and the prohibition
Of unfai" competition from abroad
Since the Democratic party thus ad
mits that ZONE fora of protection il
needed, and since even the vast ma
jority OF Democratic business mel
agree that a protective tariff is th
safest anG surest policy, we--- shouI,
not the Democrats party take up tn
plan which will insure industrial Sc
curity and prosperity?

ASKS TWO WARSHIPS
WILSON WANTS TWO DREAD
NAUGHTS AND SIX CRUISERS.
Secretary Daniels Requests More Men
to Give All Vessels Full
Crews.

Washington, June 22.-President
Wilson wants a bigger battleship
building program authorized by the
present session of congress than that
provided in the house navy bill which
is now in the senate committee on
naval affairs.
At conference with Secretary Dan
iels and Senators Tillman and Swan
son he indicated he would approve a
program of eight capital ships, two
dreadnaughts and six battle cruisers.
The house bill provides for five bat
tie cruisers and no dreadnaughts.
The three additional ships would add
at least $60,000,000 to the heavy navy
budget.
Senators, Tillman and Swanson
agree with the president and the
senate committee is certain to add
at least two dreadnauShts to the
house program. 1t is believed the
house committee on naval affairs
| and the house itself, in view of pres
ent conditions, will agree to the en-
larged program.
Following the conference with the
president and Secretary Daniels
Senator Tillman, chairman of the
naval affairs committee, held a meet
ing of his committee and the navy
bill was referred to a subcommittee
consisting of Senators Tillman, Swan
son and Lodge. all big-navy men, fol-
consideration and a report to the
general committee. This subcommit
tee is expected to get the bill out will
little delay.
The senate committee also ap
proved the house bill authorizing
contractors who are building fee
submarines to turn them out with
maximum speed of 10 instead of Y
knots an hour.
Secretary Daniels, backed by the ad
ministration, urged congress to author
ize a sufficient increase in the enlistet
personnel of the navy to permit tn
manning of every war vessel now II
reserve or out of commission.

A "One-Track Mind"

Once in connection with now his
toric breach of friendship, Mr.. Will
son in apology confessed that his
was "one-track mind''-that it could
address itself to but one thing at a
time He has demonstrated this on
more than one occasion. Pity it is
both for our own country and for
Mexico that mind of narrow vision
should dominate the policies of the
country where our responsibilities,
moral and material, are so great. Pity
it is that we meddled with the affairs
of Mexico when they were in the way
aloof when internal settlement has be-
come an impossibility.

Task Before the Party.

The American people today seek a
larger and finer leadership. They are
sick Of lofty phrases coupled with
feeble and vaciIlating action. They
have been profoundly stirred by the
Notwithstanding events of this time and
they realize that they are on the
threshold Of world changes which will
not leave this nation untouched. They
seek resolute and farseeing guidance,
the mobilization and effective direc.
ton of all the nations powers and re-
sources. Democratic leadership gives
promise only of confusion, evasion,
and drift. 1t should be the task of
Republican leadership to restore to
the American republic the purposeful
strength of great nation.

The Republicans, if they return to

past performances when in control by
supporting the government in gener-
GUS fashion A striking feature of their
record in Office is that they have never
been cheeseparers. At every step since
the Civil war when responsibility rest
ed on them they have provided the
government with all the money neces-
sary to it's development; and while at
times the amounts have appeared
large, events have always justified the
large purposes proclaimed. If we have
not in every case received the full
worth of our money, the blame has
seldom rested on the congress that
