MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 14, 1910.
Hay, Colonel, who's looney now?
Iluldwln .), or ltooHevelt J ?
The Lord is ou our sido, and the
people have turned the raBcals out.
Blessed be nemocracy!
Thank goodness the fear of anoth-
er Roosevelt panic has been over-
come by the Democratic victory.
Hey there, Teddy! We've beaten
you to a frazzle, how do you like it?
Who's "knocked over the ropes"
now?
Messed is the Democracy, it will
Inherit the earth; as it should so
long as It serveB the people faith-
fully.
The Hearst and Roosevelt alliance
was too unholy to bring success.
Not Buch a "corking time" after all
was it boys?
What will the Republicans do for
presidential timber with Taft and
Teddy both knocked out by the
people on the first round?
Wherever Mr. Roosevelt cam-
paigned he lost votes. Even his own
precinct of Oyster Bay went demo-
cratic by a big majority.
A good many high protection tar-
iff congressmen have been left in
their happy homes to reflect upon
the ungratefulness of Republics and
their own fooliBhneBS.
That raucous noise from Sagamore
Hill Is only the Colonel kicking the
door, snapping and grinding his
teeth and saying, "crooks," "male-
factors," "traitors," etc., etc.
Nothing can stop the trend to-
wards Democracy, which Is world-
wide Even China with her new
Senate now demands a House of
Representatives elected by popular
vote.
We breathe easier now that "a
new a|Ki«tle of discord a panic
breeder, a dangerous disturber and
a menace to peace." is retired for a
season, at least. How do you feel.
Colonel, since the Democratic don-
key kicked you?
The Republicans have been de
clariug they are not responsible for
high prices, and yet they have al-
ways charged the Democrats for
being responsible for low prices. It
must be a poor rule that works for
Republicans both ways.
If the Lord had not been on our
side when men like Teddy went on
the war path, where would we be?
If the Lord had not been on our side
when most of the Cabinet rose up
against us in Ohio, the Democracy
would have had the worst of it
"No politics in the new tariff
board," Is the way that President
Taft says he will run it. The pres-
ident may be entirely honest In thus
trying to eliminate the tarii' f,om
politics, but such v Utopian Idea is
as unattainable as foretell'iig the
way the wind will blow. The I ict
that President Taft ligned the toiiiT
bill becaus his pirty had passed It,
although i' did not redeem the
promises V.at he made previous" to
his election, shows how parti-un a
matter the tariff is and always will
be.
Taxation is ever a partisan poli-
tical matter as long as th many
tax payers are plundered for the
benefit of the few. which Is the de-
sign and Intent of protection. Our
civilization, advanced as i: is. has
not yet evolved a plan of taxation
that would be equitable to all citi-
zens. If the president believes that
he can make the tariff leopard He
down wllh the bleating and taxed
lamb while the principle of protec-
tion prevails, he will soon be unde-
ceived. The lambB are, of course,
helpless as long as the Republican
party Is in power, but they will
never stop bleating until the leopard
Is muzzled and his claws are cut.
In this matter of the tariff we
must be practical, Mr. Taft, and you
will find It Is not possible to elim-
inate politics from your new tariff
board. Doubtless you can appoint
men who will do your bidding, but,
with all due deference, that would
only bring them to your level, which
is of necessity quite partisan.
The tariff cannot be revised very
far downward by those who declare
that protection is a cardinal prin-
ciple nf the Republican party and
that is what even the insurgents
say they stand for. If the tariff
taxes ended with the collection of
duties at the custom houses there
would be a possibility of finding
enough competent men to act as the
tariff board and agree on fair rates.
Any tariff tax is protection to the
home producer, even on articles that
are on the free list. The transport-
ation and other charges for ship-
ment from one country to another
protect the home producer from
competition to just the extent of
such charges.
Hut a very small proportion of the
articles consumed in the United
States is Imported, yet the price ol
the home products keep closely to
the price of the imported goods on
which the tariff tax has been paid.
Competition between the home pro-
ducers has been eliminated on many
products by trusts, combines or
"gentlemen's agreements" to keep
up prices, so that the price of the
home product almost reaches that of
similar imported articles. That Is
what the people are complaining
about, Mr. President, and from
which they seek relief.
For fifty years, with only a very
Bhort interim, these high protection
tariff taxes have been imposed, and
the amount collected last year was
$294,667,054. How much the in-
direct tariff tax was on home pro-
ducts in consequence of protection
is a matter of intricate computa-
tion. Expertt estimate that each
family in the United States pays
directly and Indirectly in conse-
quence of the tariff an average of
$9X per annum, of which only $lti
per family goes to the government
and $8 2 goes to the trusts, etc.
How can there be no politics in
the tariff issue as long as this
plundering of the many for the ben-
efit of the few continues? Before the
election nearly every member of the
Cabinet was on the stump defending
the Payne-Aldrich law In the most
partisan manner; surely that hardly
indicates no politics in the tariff
board."
element of important uncertainty
should soon be settled, and that is
the oil and tobacco cases on which
the Supreme Court will shortly ren-
der its decisions. The interstate
Commerce Commission, now that the
election Is over, will be free to take
up the railroad rate problem with
a view to early settlement. There is
now much less fear of these two lat-
ter questions being treated in a rad-
ical spirit than there was a few
months ago. It begins to look as if
the corporations and the railroads
would be given a fair chance, but
the market IB in no mood to dis-
count such expectations and at pres-
ent Is Inclined to wait for actual
developments.
MILLS GRIND MIGHTY SLOW.
flow hard it Is to get the cor-
porations to do what is demanded
of them by common humanity to I
protect the lives of their employees j
and patrons may be Judged by the
fact that definite standards of safe-
ty appliances to be attached to rail- S
way cars and locomotives finally j
have been agreed upon after nearly j
a third of a century of effort. It j
Is estimated that the proposed j
changes in equipment will cost the
railroads fifty million dollars. The
agreement was reached by a com-1
mlttee appointed a short time ago 1
by the interstate commerce com-
mission. The committee consisted
of fifteen men, equally divided be-
tween representatives of the oper-
ating departments of railroads, safe-
ty appliance inspectors of the com-
mission, and railroad operatives.
Radical differences of opinion and
judgment were met by concessions.
The agreement applies only to new
equipment, but the commission, from
time to time, will determine what
the standards shall be on the pres- ;
ent equipment. The effort to force |
the railroads to adopt safety ap- j
pliances goes back many years. The i
first step was the safety appliance |
law, which required the gradual j
equipment of airbrakes. The rail-
roads constantly disputed the orders j
of the commission. This agreement
is a tardy recognition by the rail-
roads that they must do something
to prevent the terrible loss of life
on American transportation lines.
During the year 1905 seven hundred
and fifteen persons were killed in |
collisions or derailments and five j Texas
thousand five hundred and sixty-five
injured.
When such a length of time is
required to accomplish what is but
just and right and when the repre-
sentatives have to fight every inch
of progress against the croporatlons
is it any wonder that the people are
becoming aroused?

WILL BE ADJUSTED.
Henry Clews, the great New York
financial writer, in his latest letter
says that the plain lessons of the
election are that the country desires
real tariff revision and is tired of
radicalism in its various forms.
Judging by the types of men who
have been successful in the present
election, the country is politically
sane and prefers leaders of proved
Intelligence, character and sobriety
to those who stir up discontent and
prejudice. It must now be accepted
that the tariff will be a leading Issue
when the new congress convenes.
Then he calls the attention that
he does not believe that the tariff
will be revised at this erm. In re-
viewing the various conditions of
the situation he concludes as fol-
lows: ,
In financial circles the disposition
is to await developments. Congress
will open in three weeks and the
President's message will be read
with especial Interest in view of the
recent election. President Taft will
probably renew his recommendation
for tariff revision, one schedule at a
time. As already said, no Important
legislation need be expected from
the coming session of Congress,

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 14.—
The people of Cotulla, Texas, rep-
resented by the truck growers of
that section, have frequently
brought to the attention of the
linited States government one of
the most interesting of all prob-
lems in the conservation of water
for irrigation. Tlv Nueces river
flows through their territory. This
is a big, strong mquntain stream.
Until it reaches a point in Uvalde
county, where it sinks into the
gravel. Below this gravel bed the
stream Is small. Several times a
year heavy rainfall makes the
stream large in spite of this gravel
bed and dams about Cotulla con-
serve a large amount of water, but
this gravel bed out of the way, sev-
eral hundreds of thousands of acres
| could be put under irrigation. The
United States government is unable
to handle the proposition owing to
the treaty by which Texas became
a state the National Government
having no authority to do such
work with the streams of this state.
These gravel beds are found in
nearly every state in the Union.
Their treatment so that the water
of rivers flowing over them can
be saved is one of the most im-
portant problems of practical con-
servation .

BIG MINSTRELS
Read the Wave-Democrat.
"Snapper'' Kennedy and his six-
teen fun makers from the Oklahoma
Christian University, will be at the
Loewen theatre November 17. It
has been some time since the Enid
people have witnessed a local talent
minstrel show. As "Snapper" has
had plenty of experlenca in this
line he wil lhelp the O. C. U. Ath-
letic association by putting on a
minstrel show. The entire cast has
been at work ten dayB and should
be in fine shape by the 17th. Pro-
fessor Harp, the vocal teacher of
the O. C. U. Is in charge of all
the vocal solos and as he has a
first class bunch of slngerB, a gootl
show is assured. The end men's
songs and jokes will be new and
should keep the audience laughing.
The prices will be 25e 60c and 75c.
