TAFT AND THE TARIFF.
It h? a significant fact that not once
during his 13,000 mile jaunt about the
country had President Taft sounded
a chord In his public speeches that
EUs met with popular approval. In
Bou to a he advocated the Ahlrlch ''cen
tral bank" system, a measure which
may have some merit but which Is
certainly viewed with suspicion and
s^ ptlcism by the great mass of vot
ers. Ia Mlllwaukee and Winona he
attempted to read the Insurgent sen
ators out of the Republican party be
cause they refused u> vole for the
tariff bllL Later he praised the bill
In two speeches and at Seattle he
bitterly disappointed the hopes of Al
askans by declaring against home ruid
an?l 'advocating a commission govern
iaent for Alaska. It Is also signifi
cant that In many places Taft has
been met with little real enthusiasm,
thai* nowhere has he been accorded
the warmth of welcome that went
to spontaneously forth to Roosevelt.
Ia bis Wilmington speech yesterday
Tuft again defended tbe tariff, stated
It was the best bill of its kind ever
passed by a congress, and farther
more added that as long as he was
president it would not be changed.
President Taft may possibly be sin
cere in his public statements in de
fense of the tariff bill, he may even
believe that he has fulfilled his pre
election pledges of a "substantial re
vision DOWNWARDS," but it is safe
to say that four of every five con
sumers in the United States who have
given the matter the slightest con
sideration think otherwise. It is
doubtful indeed If the Aldrich-Payne
tariff bill is any improvement upon
the Dingley bill which it succeeded.
It certainly cannot be said to be "a
substantial revision downward," and
the general Impression, not among
Democrats, but among hitherto
staunch Republicans, is that both the
President and the majority of the
Republican congressman broke faith
wit to the voters who put them in pow
?r. "Brazen defense of this breach of
faith only makes the violation seem
more flagrant. The Aldrlch-Payne
tariff bill calls for apologies ? not for
praise, and all that President Taft
can say will not suffice to fool the
people or to blind the issue which
h*s been raised.
If President Taft adheres to the
policy of standpadsm. if he reiter
ates that the tariff will not be revis
ed while he is president, it is ex
tremely probable that he will not be
president a second time. Tbe people
wan* tariff revision, honest downward
revision. Taft as yet has not proved
himself so popular as to permit his
personality to stand aa a stumbling
block to this needed refcym.
More than 125, uuu trainmen on tbe
railroads running out of Chicago have
united1 ih a demand for a twelve per
cent Increase in their wages. Why?
Simply because the cost of living Is
constantly Increasing, whereas wages
and Salaries do not show a propor
tionate advance. This is one of the
blessings of the "protectivo tariff
sy?tem.
Let no man despise thy youth; but
be thou an example to the believers.
In word, in conversation, in charity,
in spirit, in faith, in charity. ? Ti mo

PLUCKY GIRL DEFENDS FATHER
LEXINGTON, Ky.? A slender girl
ariued with a double-barreled shotgun,
put to (light 40 masked Night Kidurs
when they crushed down the door of
her father's house last night in Ma
sou County.
The mob appeared at the home of
George Kreiti, evidently with the in
tention of whipping him and when en
trance was refused the door was
knocked in with an ax and crowbar.
Kreitz's daughter stood ready with
a loaded sjiotgun and fired both bar
rels. Kreltz recognised several riders '
and !a in conference with the Officers
at Maysvtlle today. Several arrests
are expected.
Before appearing at the Kreit/.
tome the riders went to the farm of
a neighbor, Benjamin Longacre, and
shot through the windows, several bul
lets narrowly miusing members of the
family.
Longacre is wealthy. He and Kreit2
had sold their tobacco crops to in
dependent buyers and had refused to
enter the pool of the Burley Tobacco
Society.

> THE SOUL'S EXPRESSION.
WITH stammering Hps and Insuf
ficient sound
1 strive and struggle to deliver
right
That music of my nature day
and night
With dream and thought and fouling In
terwound
And Inly answering all the senses round
With octaves of a mystic 'depth and
height.
Which step out grandly to the Infinite
From the dark edges of the sensual
ground!
This song of soul I struggle to outbear
Through portals of the sense, sublime and
whole.
And utter all myself Into the air.
But if 1 did It? as the thunder roll
Breaks Its own cloud? my tlesh would per
ish there
I* Before that dread apocalypse of soul.
? Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

CUTTER BEAR
The United States revenue cutter
Bear with 130 indigent men from the
Norton sound country recently arrived
ed at Seattle. The lack of water in
the mining camps back of Nome pre
vented a great number of men from
obtaining work this summer, and with
no work to be had the men could not
purchase their passage back to the
States. Last year there were some
seventy men in the same position,
ulso caused by lack of water, and
their fares were paid for by tho town
of Nome. With the increased number
this year the government was ap- i
pealed to and the cutter Bear as
signed to the service.
