THE TEST OF THE TARIFF.
Everybody knows that the Republic
an party promised to revise the tariff
previous to the last presidential cam
paign. And everybody who has paid
the least attention to the numerous
newspaper and magazine articles an
ent the subject knows that the tariff
bill passed in the House of Repre
sentatives last Saturday is uot the
downward revision that the people
demanded and the party promised.
True, the tariff has been "revised,"
but, in direct conflict with the pledg
es of the Republican party, It has
been revised upward. The schedules
of the Payne bill actually average
higher than the schedules of the Dins
ley bill, and the Dingley bill sched
ules were oppressively high ia many
cases, uniformly favored the "spec
ial interests", and were responsible,
in the main, for the high and con
stantly increasing cost of living in
this country.
The bill has passed the House and
there is small hope that in the i>enat
It will meet defeat. The Senate has
ever been the bulwark of the pro
tected interests.
Neither is it probable that Presi
dent Taft will veto the bill. He stat
ed last Friday that he would sign the
bill as It left the conference commit
tee, and although he was not alto
gether satisfied with it. he considered
It revision downward on the whole.
Perhaps President Taft conscien
tiously believes that the tariff is an
embodiment of his pre-election pledg
es; ? but the American people do not.
Perhaps the Republican Representa
tives and Senators can Justify their
course; ? but to the country at large
the passage of the Payne tariff bill as
l? now stands is a base betrayal of
the great mass of the Republlcun vot
ers, It is another victory for the "In
terests." another defeat for the peop o
The tariff was the first test of the
new administraion and if the Senate
passes the bill and it Is signed by
President Taft, It will have proved
that our government is again in the
bands of the "Re- Actio nary element.
The result will be certain and sw ift.
It must inevitably mean the forming
of a new political party In the United
Stales. The people will not trust the
leadership of national affaire to the
Democrats. If It proves that the Re
publicans have betrayed the people
for the thirty pieces of silver offered
by the great moneyed powers who
subsist and fatten solely through the
tariff: then, a new party will be form
ed around such men as LaKollette of
Wisconsin, Johnson of Minnesota, Bur*
kett of Iowa. Beverldge of Indiana
and others of the progressive element
And If the conditions warrant the
organization of a new party the same
conditions will Insure Its victory at
the polls.
Can not the "Elder" statesmen of
the Republican party see the hand
writing on the wall?
THE POET'S MISSION.
The youthful bard, with flowing hair
whose life is free from pain and care,
is always singing of despair, and dea
men's bones; be likes to wail of Lost
Lenores. and stranded ships on rocky
shores, and graves o'er which the
March wind roars, and shrieks and
moans. But when the bard is old and
fat, and has no hair beneath his hat,
he cuts out all such stuff as that ? his
song is gay; ke finds that chunks of
rythmic gloom, that touch the grave
yard and the tomb, the passing bell,
death and doom, don't often pay. For
people in this world below are anx
ious to forget their woe; they'd think
of love and fame and dough, and
things like those; when they're in
need of extra grief they'll send away
and buy a sheaf; they'll surely never
find relief in poet's throes. And so
the bard who'd hit the spot must dish
up glad amusing rot, and leave the
verse with sorrow fraught to laureate;,
and if with humblo themes he toys,
and makes an optluiistie noise, and
barps on jamborees and joys, to fame
he skates. ? Walt Mason.
For every one that doeth evil hat
eth the light, neither conieth to the
light lest his deeds should bo re
proved. ? John, Chapter ;t ? IS.
Alaska is entitled to home rule.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Thoir Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood ia the body passe
through the kidneys once every thro
udnutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work 'nigt and day. When
healthy they remoye about 500 grains
' of impure matter dally, whfen uh
healthy some part of this Impure mat
ttr Is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight aud
1-earing, dizziness irregular heart, j
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble '
^ith your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 6C9 Yeeler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives mej
pleasure to confirm the statement 1|
gave for publication some years ago ;
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use!
j has proven permanent. I suffered
! from an acute attack of kidney trou- -
tie and though I used remedy after :
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across i
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the !
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney |
Fills helped me at once and continue !
use entirely relieved me. I am a |
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills }
and have recommended them on!
many occasions."
