Secretary Daniels a Handicap.

The unfitness of Mr.. Daniels for the
position he holds has long been known,
and thousands who are personally his
friends fully realize It. The entire pc
Rod Of his service in the navy depart
ment has shown that his natural limi-
tations and his mental attitude are
such as to disqualify him for the cru
cial task which devolves upon him. A
man of more responsive sensibilities
would have resigned long since under
the criticisms directed against him
from competent quarters and In the
face of repeated blunders which are
going on even now, day after day..

FEAR TARIFF ISSUE
Democrats Foresee Loss OF the
Next Congress. 4
Dispatch Of Part OF the Tariff Com
mission Abroad Believed to Indi-
cate a Preparation for Some
Political Trick"

Tariff revision Is moblllzlng again,
and the slim majority In the house Is
beginning to SILVER. The Democrats
know that sooner or later a revision
must be made, but they are In guam
Diary as to just what action to take.
Some of them are talking about
partial revision Of certain schedules
under the guise of more revenue. They
believe If this can be taken up next
December and put through without
disturbance to business 1t will Insure
their control Of the next house, while
II they full to take any action the Re
publicans will control the Sixty-fifth
congress, and rather than to see that,
the Democrats would swallow almost
anything.
1t Is well known that the president
has for some time seen the political
expediency of changing his views on
the tariff question, just as he did on
the tariff commission, and many other
questions which the Republicans have
advocated, but which the Democrats
have garbled when 1t came to legisla-
ton, Of which the dyestuffs and the
Hay army bill are notable and pitiful
examples.
Sending part Of the tariff commits
sion abroad at this time. and the adop-
ton by the house Democrats Of n fiat
10 per cent increase on all imports, In
the new revenue bill are believed TO
lie the straWs which indicate the direc-
ton Of the wind. The tariff commits
sioners will return next fall, after 60
ing through the motions of an inten'
sive study Of European labor condi-
tons. A bill may then be offered
based on the data scraped together by
tho commission. and this will be pa
raded before the country as "sci-
entifc" revision. This Is calculated
to spike the Republican guns.
But neither the Republicans nor the
business men expect to be three-carded
by this trick. The principal thing they
fear Is that the confusion will be
greater than ever They are thorough
ly alive to the fact that the present
chaos In Europe makes any investiga-
ton Of Industrial conditions absolutely
vaIueless as basis for tariff revision
that the tariff commission itself is
dead set against the protective policy
and that no tariff bill drafted by the
Democrats would meet the require
ments because of Democratic density

Conduct Of the War.

There Is already felt in Washington
growing need for some more formal
link between the executive and the
representatives of the people than now
exists through the presidents confer
ences with the leaders Of his own
party. Although the war was init
ated solely by Democratic president,
has been conducted thus far entirely
by Democratic officials, II Is only too
plain that II 1t Is to command the
undivided support Of the nation II will
have to be carried on not as party
measure but as the cause Of the people.
