conjectural. Noone knows what
will issue from the conventions
in prospect. Nothing is ventured
by saying the first one held is in
tended to influence the action of
the second one, but to what ex-
tent cannot now be told. l trow
it will not be to the extent claim
ed by some. Of course, it is, as
is said, the wish is father to the
thought. The jealous T. Rite
wishes that the first convention
nominate T. R., and when that is
done then have the second con-
vention endorse that nomination
and thus unite all factions in one
integral whole. This seems very
much in accord with the wish Of
the progressive faction Of the Re-
publican party that flew off like
a tangent four years ago. Will
it be done? If the Republican
party desires to organize defeat
it may be done, and the Demo
cratic nominee, who will be the
present incumbent in the presi-
Dental chair, will be elected for
another term Of office. In the
present contest there is some
thing more important than to
minister to the whiEns of T. R.
Our country is full of statesmen
very far ahead of anything pos
sessed by this agitator, whose on
lY principle is me and mine, and
cares for nothing more than su-
premacy. So he is honored and
given power he cares for nothing
more. Let me say, T. r, has
been honored beyond his merits
and here it ought to stop. The
country has had more of his type
of craftsmanship than has been
for it's good, and it is now time
to pass him up and let some more
worthy and capable statesman
lead the country to heights of
happiness and prosperity. There
never was a time when real states
manship was more in need than
just now. Ebulitions and hot
wind may be rightfully relegated
to the rear and men of right poise
ought to be given the helm to
guide the Ship of State.

Democratic Revenue
Law a Failure.


Washington, June 7. Especial
Correspondence Democratic
leaders in Washington are much
chagrined at the speech delivered
recently by Senator Furnifold
Simmons before the Democratic
State Committee at Raleigh,
North Carolina.
Senator Simmons speech was
looked forward to with a great
deal of confidence by the Demo-
Gratis, because it was expected to
be the only genuine simon-pure
keynote speech of the party for
the 1916 campaign. There will
be a so-called keynote speech de-
livered at st. Louis by Mart
Glynn, bGt remembering his fu-
tile attempt to answer Elihu
RoCt, the Democrats had pinned
small confidence on Glynn's st.
Louis peroration. With the faint
hope stirring in their bosoms that
the Democratic party will fatten
at the public trough for the next
four years. and realizing the fact
that the Hon. Furnifold Simmons
might continue as the chairman
of the Finance committee, the
committee which, when it comes
to a showdown, dictates the fis-
cal policy of this country, the
Democrats had faith that Mr..
Simmons speech would so man.
ipulate statistics and language
that the country would feel sufi-
ciently assured to place one more
bet on the disciples of Woodrow
Wilson.
Little consolation do they find
in the Raleigh speech Simmons
is as uncompromising a free ira
der as ever. The panorama of
future trade offers no terrors for
Furnifold. Wilson has relented
to the extent of espousing a tar
iff commission, because of Chan
ging conditions;" the Democrats,
generally, believe that revision
of the tariff, on the plea of "ad-
ditional revenue" is advisable,
but Simmons, having sWatted
business with an. axe, pleads
guilty" and looks to the coun-
try for vindication. This un-
compromising attitude of the
chairman of the Finance commit
tee will embarrass Woodrow Will
son in making concessions to the
November voters. How can the
leader of the party declare for a
new tariff bill, when the chair
man of the Senate committee,
who is largely responsible for
the present law, presents a brief
in its favor?
One Of the worst breaks of
Senator Simmons in presenting
his tariff argument to the North
Carolina Democratic State Con-
yentiou is to be found in the fol-
lowing contradiction:
''You cannot revise the tariff
in the interest of the people un-
less you lower the wall enough to
let the foreigner over unless you
write it low enough to allow COM
petition from abroad. when the
price here is above the level of a
fair and just profit. That is what
we aimed to do. and ! think have

Detroit Symphony
Wagner Program
Pleases Audience

The ambitious undertaking OF Of
fering a program OF Wagner music.
made up OF the overtures and pre-
ludes to seven of that masters mu-
sic-dramas. was successfully carried
out Friday afternoon. In the Detroit
opera house. by the Detroit SYM
phony orchestra.
The numbers were: "Rienzi."
THE Flying Dutchman," "Lohen-
grim" "Tannhauser." "Parsifal,"
Tristan and Isolde" and die Meis.
tersinser." All OF these are familiar
to local concertgoers. and the larg-
est audience OF the season to attend
the Detroit orchestra's concerts
gave such generous measure OF ap-
plause at the conclusion of each
number that IL would seem safe TO
assume the listeners felt satisfied
with Conductor Weston Gales read.
ing and the players rendition. The
orchestra was considerably aug
mented for the program, and 1t was
a source of satisfaction to have
practical proof given that Detroit
harbors excellent musicians. and
has the material from which a first
class orchestra body can be
builded.
To those who have not missed a
concert by an orchestra this season.
the comparatively recent hearing OF
''The Flying Dutchman' overture
played by the Boston Symphony and
the die Meistersinger" prelude by
the Philadelphia Symphony. made
the Detroit orchestra's rendition of
these two less satisfying perhaps,
than any other number on the pro-
gram. But II must be borne In
mind, too. that the work OF an or
chestra of a few months existence
like the Detroit orchestra, and with
limited financial backing which,
after all. Ia what procures the best
players and the finest instruments,
in ordinary justice cannot be com
pared to organizations OF the age,
and the resources, OF the Boston and
Philadelphia, or indeed. TO any OF
the great orchestras" OF the coun-
try.
The "Lohengrin" prelude the To-
cal orchestra has played before and
plays II extremely we'll. Perhaps
the best results OF the afternoon fol-
lowing "Lohengrin," were obtained
in the "Rienxi" overture. with its
pomp and circumstance. and the
deeply religious "Parsifar'' prelude.
Parts Of the Tristan und Isolde"
prelude were beautifully given. Al
together. the orchestra and its con-
ductor have much to be proud OF in
the presentation OF the program. and
deserve the heartiest endorsement
for the effort made and its creditable
accomplishment.
Conductor Gales was recalled sew.
eral times TO the directors stand.
and twice the players rose to their
feet to acknowledge the plaudIts OF
the audience which seemed as sin
cere in its appreciation as II was
generous in applause.
The program will be repeated in
Arcadia, Sunday afternoon, at 3
o'clock. The closing pair OF con.
certs for the season will be given
