ON A SOUND BASIS
TARIFF REVISION LOOKED AT IN
NEW UGHT
Necessity for General Changing ef
Schedules la Not Apparent te the
Thinker— Proposition la an Ar-
gument ef the Grafters
la bis speech dt Council Grove
Kan Senator Cummins said that one
of the objects of the progressives was
to make a rule “whereby any schedule
of the tariff blU may be- revised at
will without going through the whole
of the tariff schedules He said
further:
“This would eliminate the Intoler-
able vice of the present system
whereby a congressman will make
combinations with other members and
will vote for many schedules that he
believes are absolutely wrong In or-
der to get a schedule that he believes
Is right
This theory of tariff making la not
new In 1824 when Denial Webster of
Massachusetts made his famous
speech on the tariff of that year he
aald:
“I deeply regret the necessity which
Is likely to be Imposed on me of giv-
ing a general affirmative or negative
vote on the whole of the bill I can-
not but think this mode of proceeding
liable to great objections It exposes
both those who support and those who
oppose the measure to very unjust
and Injurious misapprehensions There
may be good reasons for favoring
some of the provisions of the bill and
equally strong reasons for opposing
others and these provisions do not
stand to each other In the relation of
principal and Incident It that were
the case those who are in favor of
the principal might forego their opin-
ions upon Incidental and subordinate
pro via ions But the bill proposes en-
actments entirely distinct and differ-
ent from one another In character and
tendency Borne of Its clauses are In-
tended merely for revenue and of
those which regard the protection of
home manufactures one part stands
upon very different grounds from
those of other parts Bo that probably
every gentleman who may ultimately
support the bill will vote for much
which his Judgment does not approve
and those who oppose It will oppose
something which they would very
gladly support"
This conditio has existed in regard
to every tariff bill that has ba
p eased Undoubtedly there were fea-
tures of the Payne bill which the In-
surgents and progressives would have
supported enthnslasUcadly if they
could have done so without giving
their approval to others which they
utterly condemned and the same la
true of the Democrats Mare' and
more people are reaching the conclu-
sion that the bogey of general tariff
revision Is created for a purpose and
that It Is no more necessary to disturb
all business by revising the whole of
the tariff schedules at the same time
than It la to revise our whole criminal
code every time a change la made In
the statutes There need be no
consideration of what to do with bides
because conditions require the reform
of the wool schedule There Is no
reason why when It Is proposed to re-
duce the outrageous tariff on lead a
fight should have to be made to keep
the grafters from putting a tariff on
coffee — Indianapolis Neva
Democratic Opportunity
The Democracy of Maine has won a
great victory a victory of national im-
port It is now for them to make the
results of that victory permanent in-
stead of a flash In the pan In the
first place they must strengthen and
perfect their party organisation
throughout the state The work must
be thoroughly done In all Its ramifica-
tions The incentive that has been
lacking for this they now have Or-
ganisation Is essential but what la
atlU more essential la 1 clean and
good record The Democratic party
will be Judged by Its fruits as the op-
posing party has been Judged Its op-
ponents from now on will be on the
watch for Democratic blunders and
evidences of the “incompetency" they
sneeringly allege They must be dis-
appointed and we beUeve they will
be disappointed completely The
Ptalsted administration we predict
will fully justify the confidence of the
Republicans as well as the Democrats
who have placed It in power— Port-
land Argus (Dem)
Roosevelt Always te the Fore
About two-thlrda of Mr Roosevelt's
platform at Saratoga la given up to
national questions Of these the tariff
is most Important and the action of
congress as to the tariff Is warmly
extravagantly and very far from
truthfully praised The tariff as It Is
and aa It ought to be Is thus made
the chief Issue of the campaign al-
ways keeping In mind the exception la
regard to the personality and ambi-
tions of Mr Roosevelt himself U is
made so by Mr Roosevelt
Party Cannot Be Trusted
In tariff revision the Republican par-
ty cannot be trusted The cheating
they did in 180 will be done again
and again Just as often as the chance
Is given The motive to cheat la con-
tinuous The Interests that schemed
and paid for the treachery of last year
have the same needs now and are
equally ready and able to buy their
satisfaction and this will be Just aa
true aa to the reform of one schedule
aa It will be with regard to a general
aevtaloa
APOLOGIZING FOR HIS PARTY
President Tdft Driven te Extremes In
Defending the Policies of the
Republicans
President Taft’s references to the
“bargain-counter" tariff of the Payne-
Aldrlch combine in bis recent speech
showed natural and creditable em-
barrassment He had made promises
as to tariff revision which congress
would not carry out He had laid
down a principle of action which con-
gross utterly scouted He had labored'
anxiously ail through the apodal ses-
sion for decent treatment of party
pledges particularly with reference
to the materials of Industry and to
goods needed by the poorer classes
and hia efforts bad been entirely vain
Now he has assumed the character of
general' apologist for his party and
baa devoted strength and time re-
quired for his executive eervlee of the
whole natloq te the work of advocate
In chief in a congressional campaign1
In that campaign the tariff is the dom-
inant igsue He cannot Ignore or
wholly evade IL It bothers him
greatly He la by nature an honest
and candid man He Is by training
aa acute and thorough lawyer He has
had long and honorable experience as
as impartial judge He is well equip-
ped to detect the truth In a complica-
ted question and hla Impulse' and
habit prompt him to stand by the
truth
But the truth is very very bad for
his party It la to some extent bad for
him too for he has not done all that
he tould have done to compel the ob-
servance of pledges made by him and
by hla party But we think he would
own up to that man fashion and ap-
peal for confidence on the ground that
he would do better In the future If
he had himself only to think of He
cannot however take that course as
to his party tor its leaders are not
frank nor repentant He musk for his
party make a wretched hypocritical
treacherous and vicious course seem
at least partly decent— New Tork
Times (Ind Rep)
TAFT AND VACATION TIME
Chief Executive’s Ideas In the Main
Are All Right But There
Are Obstacles
Men on small salaries and men who
cannot leave their affairs to others
in for a day highly appreciate
President Taft’s assertion that every
man should enjoy three months vaca-
tion each year
Unfortunately the average dtisen
cannot command a warship with a
60000 bathroom and n brass band at
public expense for his vacationing
By the time he has paid for hla liv-
ing st the prioee which the Aldrich-
Taft tariff permits Mr Taft’s New
England friends to charge the or-
dinary man who depends on hla earn-
ings and Is forcedTo keep his ex-
penditures within his Income is lucky
if be has the price of n car ride to
the park
8 till Mr Taft's suggestion is worth
considering
If Uncle Sam keeps on Increasing
his navy at the present extravagant
rate there will be warships enough to
go around by the time universal peace
Is declared
By way of excuse for keeping them
In commission and spending tax money
In tons and hundreds of millions con-
gress can establish a legal three
months' vacation for everybody to be
spent aboard a warship st public ex-
pense Every taxpayer Is just as much en-
titled to expensive Junketing paid for
out of taxes as is the president of the
United 8tates
By nil means let us have the three
months' legal holiday and ktve every-
body a chance to enjoy brass bands
60000 bathrooms sad a healthful life
oa the ocean wave aboard a warship
Limit ef Rooseveltlam
We now have the official Interpreta-
tion of the New Tork Republican
platform from the man who made IL
Theodore Roosevelt Here to his
view:
“Three points three essential points
wers made in our platform of princi-
ples — the three points upon which the
contest this fall In New Tork to to be
waged In the first place that we
stand not timidly not half-way but
aggressively for honesty In public and
business life In the next place that
ws stand for governmental efficiency
And In the third place that we stand
for the right of the people to control
themselves and not to be controlled
by some one else These are ths three
essential points of our platform"
Would it not be just awful If s po-
litical party should “stand fori dis-
honesty “la public and business life
for governmental Inefficiency and for
control of the people by n boss or n
Caesar? It seems to us that “the
three essential points" In this wonder-
ful platform srs points on which all
sane men In the world sre In abao-
luets agreement And yet It to pro-
posed to make an Issue on them
Such boldness to almost astounding
Ne “New" Tariff
The protected manufacturer pitiful
ly sake that the “new" tariff shall be
given time to prove It usefulness
We have no “new" tariff It to ths
same old bungling Iniquity with a
nominal redistribution of the burden
but without the correction of n slnglo
vice The more you change IL the
more R to the name thing and an the
electors bava shown nil over the
country already to claim aay mercy
for it oa tho ground of experiment to

Blessings of
Imperfection
By HENRY F COPE
L
Tnt-Wa sre saved by bop— Rooaaa
l:K
To every man Ilfs is either an In-
fliction or an Inspiration It all de-
pends on how you take It aa a dose
or aa a spur It Is easy to become so
conscious of calamities possible
troubles Impending and difficulties
present as to be oppressed with a
sense of the universe aa warring
against you or you can see It all as a
glorious struggle in which It Is a Joy
to have a pare
Life la not an a Joyous way of
pleasure No person of sensibilities
can Ignore altogether Its pain and
need or ever be free from the sense
of personal Incompleteness and of un-
realised adjustment to the universe
But this Incompleteness restlessness
and dissatisfaction may ba the cause
of our profoundest Joy and largest
hopes
A man la greater than an angel
though ho may not be better and may
be worse In an Important sense Im-
perfection Is better and greater than
perfection That which Is perfect has
found Its limits has reached Its full-
seas Man sees no limit about him
and goes oa forever wlthput the sense
of completeness That Is the mark
of living that the more you live the
larger life stretches before you
But for our Imperfections there
would be no growth the future would
lie like a blank without the hope of
larger things This it is that makes
the new days welcome no matter
what freight of woe they may bring
to us— that they stretch before they
promise onward steps new vistas ths
chance to bo more feel more know
more Perfection might mean peace
but It would be the peace of death '
If ever we are Inclined to complain
of tho shocks of fortune the buffets
and smarts of living wo ought to turn
and look on them all with gratitude
They shake us out of dull content
they testify to our incompleteness and
call on us to learn life's lessons to
gain new strength to withstand their
oncoming attacks The fact that ws
are vulnerable makes ns ultimately
victorious
Now it matters not how religious n
man may profsss to bo how freely
he may handle pious phraseology if
he spends hla breath In complaining
about tho sorrows of this existence
and in sighing about another world
where he will bo free from tho pres-
ent penalties and pains and will enter
Into tho life of perfection the life
that has attained and knows no fur-
ther desire his religion Is n menace
to this world and to him as s dweller
here
Our present business Is with the
life that Is fuu of prophecy of larger
being that reminds us by our present
failures and friction of the greatness
of our shortcomings ouy business Is
to take this life of pain and need and
use all Its provocations Its troubles
difficulties problems as the curricu-
lum of larger life We ought to be
grateful as they who take life wise-
ly certainly will be for all that moves
us on though It may seem to toy ns
low at the time of the blow
True religion to that which places
the light of aspiration before a man's
eyes and seta in bis heart the vtoloa
of a life which knows no UmlL Reli-
gion interprets the universe in terms
of n reasonable plan of life with a
hope in life which does not mock us
Religion to the spirit that enables one
to trust the ultimate wisdom of ths
plan of our present Imperfection
The present struggle to the finest
thing that we have Not that ws need
to add to its intensity or increase Its
complications But ws ought sot to
try to dodge Its demands nor ought ws
to be blind to Its splendid promise For
Imperfection to ever the prophecy of
developmenL and he who bravely
hopefully struggles oa bears endures
aspires not only finds ths way through
the clouds to ths stars but In the
struggle finds ths high and divine la
himaelf
Here faith plays her part aiding ns
to cling to our vtalona of the larger
life and greater 'universe giving ns
confidence even In darkest nights that
we do not walk In n mate to come out
where we went in hearing the mock-
ing laughter of Idiot gods We believe
better things of our world and that
means taking our world ta a nobler
way and trusting that love rules
through It slL That moans finding
Oar way out through Imperfections and
needs to n wholeness and perfection
which we call God the dee ire of every

The Christian’s Privilege
Tbs great master hand sends ths
thoughts of sorrow of Joy of strength

mighty means under the Spirit's pow-
er to mold and bring ua Into the Di-

and its possibilities to to behold a vis-
ion of marvellous beauty" It to this
ever-deepening vision of life that to

by the side of hto Master and touches
