Ell a Republican, is: In a letter to the New York Times, dated Asticon, Me., Sept. 20, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, the venerable Presi? dent EmeritUI of Hnrvard University, says: 'The tariff issuo in the present campaign is clearly defined . Presi? dent Taft holds firmly to the theory and practice of protection, and that portion of the Republican party which gives him some measure of support is protectionist on practice. The citizen who believeB, as I do, that the exist? ing tariff prevents the expansion of American commerce and trude, pro? tects manufacturing industries from foreign competition which would be wholesale for them, supports artificial monopolies raises the price of many necessaries of life and koeps the country as a whole exporting the richness of its soil rather than the products of its killed labor can hardly vote for President Taft, however much he may wish to do so bccnuse of respect for his character, resentment at the injustice with which he hns been treated and liking for his con? servatism. "The Democratic party, judged by its recent action, seems likely under its new leaders to accomplish a judic? ious and effective reduction in tariff rates, and indeed is pledged to do so, so far as its platform and the words of its candidates can pledge it. "The Progressive party, on the other hand, cannot be trusted to deal wisely with tno traitl", because its membership is manily drawn from the former Reublican party, which is responsible for the existing tnritTand for failure to reduce it, and because its platform is about as protectionist as the Reupblican. Morover, its can? didate, ex-President Roosevolt, hns never shown any acquaintance with tariff questions, and interest in them or any comprehension of the disust rousjeifects of the tariff on American industries and on the prices of the necessaries of life to consumers. His present utterances on the subject are contrail ictory and vague, and yet likely to mislead the farmers, me? chanics and operatives from whom he askes votes. ".The platforms of all three parties arc much alike in promising a large number of social and industrial re? forms, many of them long known to be desirable, but some full of difficul? ties and dangers. The Progressive | party contains numerous social work? ers, ministers, young political re-1 formers and other disinterested per? sons of unquestionable patriotism who think they can further their vnr ious philanthropic purposes by utiliz? ing the energy and popularity of I Theodore Roosevelt, It also contains! men and women who warmly admire Mr. Roosevelt's private character and public career and accept his prof-1 fered leadership with entheusiustic devotion. "Is over these social nnd industial reforms that on differences of opinion have arien concerning the right way of dealing with tho obstacles which Constitutions," courts and laws hnve placed in the pathway of militant re? formers; hence the grave constitu? tional and legal issues in the present election. "Since all social changes have in? dustrial and political consequences, socials reforms like industrial can bei snfely effected only by the method of cautious experiment with adequate notice nnd not by tho sudden impetu-1 ous rush of an emotional multitude. The education of a new generation is I often needed to give such reforms satisfactory effect. "The Democratic party's platform and candidates while less conserva? tive than the Republican hold out more hope or expectation of a wise dealing with the reforms proposed than the Progressive party's do In particular the published sayings of Gov. Wilson are much more prudent and measured in regard to the propos? ed changes than those of ex-President Roosevelt. Indeed, Gov. Wilson's temperament knowledge nnd exper? ience fit him to deal wisely as Presi? dent of the United States with all these philanthropic projects. "The coming troublous years will call fo fairness sober judgment and quiet resolution in the excutive head of the Government. Gov. Wilson's career gives many indications that he possesses the qualities. Through thirty years of public lifo ex-PreBident Roosevelt has proved to the American people that these are not his charac? teristics. "Par the greater part of the social and industrial improvements which the three national parties seem to contemplate?though not in equal j number?can be effected by the Cen? tral Government only by a dnngerous stretching or evading of constitution? al provisions, since they lie within the jurisdiction of the several States. "The National Executive, there? fore, at this particular juncture ought not to be an impulsive, self-confident, headstrong man, impatient of re? straints and oppposition and given to the use of extravagent language. Such a man is ex-President Roosevelt, as both hia friends and his foes well konw. He also exhibits from time to I time a fondness for taking risks and willingness to use force, which I would not be bad signs in an energet I Ic youth but are alarming in a ma i ture statesman. "The candidate of the Progressive i party haa shown himaelf capable, j while in power, of taking grave pub? lic action?which of course acemed to . him wise and right?in disregard oi constitutional and legal limitations, am), while out of power, of proposing rash changes in the relations of the judiciary to the other departments of the Government and to the voters, "Finally at the forthcoming elec? tion the people nre called upon to express, not directly hut by implies tion, their opinion on another consti? tutional change---the question of a third term in tho Presidency. It is ex-President Roosevelt, and the Pro? gressive party that have sprung this important question upon tho voters. Fortunately, the issue is clearly jion ed between tho Democratic party, which declares for a single term, and the Progrssivo party, which has nom? inated a man who has already held the Presidential office for seven years and a half. "In all probability to givo any one a third term in the Presidency, either with or without an interval be? tween terms, would he an undesirable precedent. All observant citizens konw that in tne enses of Presidents Roosevelt and Tuft, preparations for securing a second term impaired tho efficiency and dignity of the President in the last year of his first term. Every Presidential campaign ought to furnish the whole country with a valuable lesson in good manners, fair dipcussion, sound reasoning and loyal? ly to ideals. It would be moru likely todo so if the President in power could have no ambitions to bo grati lied ami no personal claims on his party or his country. "In order, however, to nrrivo at the conclusion that it is not best to givej ex-President Roosevelt a third term it is not necessary to discuss broadly the question of the best limit for Presidential service. Is is enough to say that ox-President Roosevelt is a personage peculiarly unlit to bo placed for a third time in tho Presi? dential office, because he loves power, nrdently desires to exercise the Presi? dents (lower again, and has procured his own nomination by direct person al effort at the cost of splitting the party to which he owed his previous opportunities ol a high political career. To these facts frank sayings of Mr. Roosevelt himself abundantly testify. "Moreover, ex-President Roosevelt has lately contributed by untimelly criticisms, couched in intemperate language, to the defeat of the in? valuable arbitration treaties of the United States with Great ISritain and France, drawn by the Taft Adminis? tration, which would have made war between these countries well-nigh im? possible. Holding the opinions he has often expressed ah.ait the beneficial cflects of war on the individual and on socitey, he can manifestly be only a half-hearted believer in the judicial settlement of international disputes, and would probably prove n dangerous President should questions of war arise. Yet internatinal arbitration, justtice and peace have long been and are emphatically today noble policies of the United States. "Second and third terms may or may net be expedient on general principles, but this particularjiropos al for a third term is unquestionably expedient. "These considerations have brought me to the conclusion that it is best to vote for Wilson and Marshall at the forthcoming election."

The Tazewell !iepul'l:an Shows The Political "Green tiye" One of the most discourteous edi? torial acts of a newspaper claiming respectable recognition,was perpetrat? ed by the Tnzewell Republican, in its issue of laut week. Governor William Hodges Mann Was invited by the Tnzewell Fair as? sociation to deliver an address, on agriculture on Wednesday of last week, that being the second day of the fair. He accepted und delivered the address on that day. Now on Thursday the next day Tazewell Re? publican issued. In its editorial col? umns it contained vilo und outrage? ous attack on both the private and public record of Governor Mann. Ac? cusing tho governor of faking his re? cord as a Confederate soldier and of other high crimes and misdemeanors of a political character. Now let us consider this from ttie standpoint of courteous treatment alone to an honored guest. Governor Mann as, stated above, an invited guest of Tazewell county at tho fair. He did not go to Tazewoll on a polit? ical mission and political utterance escaped his lips. What provocation induced the Tnzewell Republican to bit loose its batteries of abuse on a Tnzawell guest, we are not informed. Wo can tiuthfully say, that the at? tack was conceived in laid taste and lacked evidence to substantiate it in any detail. Is the Tazewell Republi? can so politically sensitive, that oven the presence of as prominent a demo? crat in Tnzewell county, cause it to belch forth in ignorance, prejudice and abuse? A had condition indeed is this for a newspaper to fall into. The people of Tnzewell county re? gardless of politics, wo know disap? prove of and rekuke insults of this nature to their intelligence and hos? pitality. It is a great pity that such a line county and splendid citizenship should have a newspaper guilty of such low, mean and despisublo nets MS the one in question. The Tazewell Republican should apologize and promise reform.-?Washington County Journal.
