CROSBY S. NO YES Editor
TIE STAB has a regular and permanent
Family Circulation much mora than the
combined circulation of the other Wash'
tag-ton dallies. As a Hews and Adver
tising' Medium it has no competitor.
trrin order to avoid delays on aeconnt of
personal abeenoe, letters to THE STAB
should not be addressed to any Individual
connected with ths office, but simply to
THE STAS, or to the Editorial or Busi
ness Departments, ate01 ding to tenor or
purpose.
Democrats and the Tariff.
Are the democrats willing to make a na
tional campaign with the tariff issue in its
general aspect stated in the spirit whlcti
marked John Sharp Williams' statement or
the issue as respects the Philippines? That
is to say, are they willing to recognize ex
isting conditions and shape their demands
accordingly? if so they should be able to
give the standpatters something of a tussle
next fall.
Mr. Williams was willing to take half a
loaf rather than get no bread. He could
see that a whole loaf was beyond his reach.
A cut In the rates on the two important
Philippine staples was as much as the oc
casion made possible, and so he supported
the proposition. He was equally opposed
to those who wanted nothing done at all
because of reducing the tariff, and to those
who wanted nothing done because the
proposition did not carry the wiping out or
the tariff altogether. Mr. Williams stood
upon sound, sensible ground.
Now, thei'e Is nothing clearer than that
protection as a policy is rooted in our sys
tem. It cannot be wiped out. Cries going
that far have all been discredited, either by
failure at the polls, or failure to redeem
by legislation a result at the polls which
seemed to indorse free trade. There never
was a more grotesque ending to a cam
paign than that which gave the Gorman
Wilson ^>ill as answer to the Chicago plat
form of 18S>2. The men who as popular
orators had In the fall of that year de
nounced protection up hill and down dale,
as legislators In the spring of ISiH found
themselves utterly unable to get away from
protection. It inhered in so many things
they were obliged to recognize it, but had
not the skill or the courage to apply it suc
cessfully in their work.
Suppose therefore the democratic leaders
In their coming congressional contests should
state their case in the light of these facts.
Suppose that in advocating a lower tariff
on articles able to stand it they make frank
confession that It is not possible to tear
down the customs houses, and that they are
not abroad on any such wild-eyed mission,
but want merely that equalization of duties
made necessary by the business and pros
perity of the times. Would they not profit
by such a deliverance? Nothing appears
more likelj-, for the standpatters are mak
ing the republican position very objection
able In many parts of the country.
Warner of Missouri.
Senator Warner Is by far too mod-?3t, and
Jvst now is interfering with legitimate po
litical speculation In discouraging gossip
connecting his name with his party's next
nomination for the presidency. A great con
test approaches, and many there be who,
whether they like it or not. must enter
therein. The Nelson signal is flying. Writers
for the press and their readers expect every
politician to do his duty, and to serve in
that sphere of action in which they may
<be pleased to call him.
Ger. Warner declares that his presidential
boom is a joke. This must be because he
has given the matter no thought himself,
and is surprised by the suggestion from
others. He has just entered upon his term
as senator from Missouri, and. we may be
lieve. Is gl%-lng his attention exclusively to
the duties of that office. His election was a
high compliment to his strength and popu
larity at home, and naturally he wants to
meet In the fullest degree possible the ex
pectations of his friends.
But why should the suggestion of his
name as a Presidential quantity be regarded
as a joke? As the case now stands the re
publican nomination for l'.lOB seems likely to
go west of the Alleghenles. The party's
strongest men live in that quarter, and the
merits of a number of them are under al
most' daily discussion. It is a goodly com
pany, and shows not only the resources of
the republicans at this time, but the devel
oping qualities of our institutions. There
are excellent men all around us, and to
spare.
Now Hen. Warner lives out there, and In
a state wliere republican national policies
have for some years been growing In
favor. He is himself the expression in the
Senate of what those policies have recently
accomplished in Missouri. His record as
a man. as a soldier, as a politician and as
an officeholder gives him a place among
the representative men of the middle states,
and to consideration in the matter of his
party's high rewards. What of jest or in
approprlateness can there be in including
him in this day of preliminaries and ma
neuvering among his party's presidential
possibilities? He is a good man in a sec
tion where his party is hunting for a leader.
Let the Warner boom go on. Let all the
booms thrive. He is a public benefactor
who makes two booms grow where only one
has grown before. Besides, In the matter
of presidential candidates, he also serves
who only is talked about.
H. H Rogers cannot beMeve that an in
fluential Standard Oil official should be
compelled to show deference to a man who
has not gotten on any further in life than
an attorney generalship.
It would be curious If Washington should
run New York politics instead of letting
New York assume to run Washington.
The Liberal Landslide.
The Itritish elections have developed into
a veritable landslide. Not even the most
optimistic supporters of the liberal party
hoped for more than a sufficient success to
give their party a plurality over the union
ists, with the labor and Irish members co
operating to afford a .ministerial majority.
As the case now stands, there Is every rea
son to look for a large liberal majority
over all the other parties. Insuring it a
fairly certain tenure of office for a much
longer season than was predicted for it be
fore the elections. Including yesterday's
balloting, which materially Increased the
liberal sittings In the house, the results
now yield l>5 liberal seats, 31 unionists, 18
nationalists or Irish members, I" laborltes
and 1 socialist. This means a margin of
28 liberal votes over all. The laborites and
the Irish members together number more
than the unionists.
Thus far 162 elections have occurred out
of 670, leaving 508 districts to vote. If the
]lt>eralft and their allies continue their pres
ent rate of gain the house will consist of
ool ministerialists to 110 unionists, but the
effect of the sweeping victories of the pres
ent ministry In the districts which have
voted already appears to be cumulative,
and it Is predicted that the conservatives,
or unionists, will be fortunate If they secure
100 members. Not even former ministerial
prestige is saving the candidates of the
long-dominant party. Ex-Prainl<r Balfour
was defeated In the first day's voting, a
circumstance exceedingly fortunate for the
liberals, for it gave their canvass an un
mistakable impetus in the districts yet de
batable. Other members of the Balfour
ministry were snowed under yesterday.
London affords a significant evidence of
the strength of the liberal uprising. Of the
twenty-two seats apportioned to the capital
the unionists he'd twenty in the last house.
London's record, indeed, has for years been
almost unbrokenly that of a great tory con
stituency. Yesterday the liberals captured
fourteen of these twenty-two seats. These
results, it seems, are attributed to the com
pact organization of the labor vote, which
is thrown to the liberals wherever there is
no distinctive iaborite candidate.
Analysis of the returns is of course as yet
impossible, with satfefactory results, but
enough appears to indicate that the over
whelming defeat of the unionists is no less
than a revolution, a tremendous uprising of
the people of the middle and lower classes,
irrespective of the specific issue defined in
the campaign. The voters of England and
Scotland want a change and are not de
terred from demanding it by the prestige
of a long-established ministry. It is con
ceded that the result would have been the
same had Balfour held on to his post and
appealed to the country for a renewal ot
his commission.
The effect upon England's domestic and
foreign policies cannot, of coursc, be now
estimated. That fiscal and other reforms are
likely is granted even at this stage. Home
rule for Ireland is not Impossible. While
the Irish nationalists will lack the power to
dictate terms by reason of holding the bal
ance of power, it is known that there is a
strong undercurrent of popular sentiment
in favor of that change on the part of the
laboring classes, whose votes are one of the
chief factors in the liberal success.
The National Board of Trade.
For years the National Board of Trade
has been meeting in this city in annual
session. It has discussed many subjects
in that time and its recommendations to
Congress have gone on file and have flowed
into the current of public opinion which is
constantly setting toward the Capitol to
influence legislation. This organization,
composed of representatives of local boards
of trade, chambers of commerce and simi
lar business bodies, stands for a concen
trated expression of the opinions and de
sires of these constituent associations. It
represents, indeed, the beliefs of a very
large number of citizens engaged in the
practical work of the day, the management
of great enterprises and affairs, the pro
ducers of wealth. It occupies a significant
position in the national economy.
Recent changes in the organization have
occurred, with the result that the present
officials and leathers of this association are
bent upon a new degree of activity. They
are endeavoring to conserve, through the
National Board of Trade, not only the busi
ness sentiments of the country, and to bring
them to an effective focus upon Congress,
but to establish a high standard of civic
health, to write large upon the tablets of
American progress the principle of honesty
in all private and public affairs. Taking
warning from the recent disclosures of
graft in many lines of activity, both pub
lic and private, the leaders of this body
feel that the time has come to -direct
thought to the end of securing, through
legislation or otherwise, more insistent
requirements of character and conduct in
ali lines of work.
The program of resolutions to be con
sidered by the National Board of Trade at
this session is subordinate in interest to this
new spirit of good citizenship which is
voiced by the leaders of the organization.
It has a wide field for manifestation. Gross
selfishness has long dominated in the ad
justment of American affairs. Political ex
igencies have forced compromises with
honor. The inordinate greed of gain has
produced bitter fruits. The time has come
for united efforts to establish in business
and in politics, in all the details of munic
ipal, state and federal administration, the
principles of honesty and decency and right
living. There is a wide field for any body
of citizens, bent upon proclaiming the doc
trine of righteousness in business and in
politics.
If the National Board of Trade espouses
this cause with vigor It will serve a praise
worthy end, and will contribute materially
to the moral health of the country. There
is urgent need today of some s>uch propa
ganda for the rescue of our bedraggled
ideals from the mire of conscienceless com
mercialism and partisan politics.
The Mill at Algeciras.
If the lingo of the prize ring is pardonable
in the premises, it may be said that the mill
at Algeciras opens today, with Prance and
Germany both in good condition. The bout
is for points, and all the world is interested.
The I'nited States?although no bird?is, in
the current speculation, in two places at
once. Paris sees us in France's corner,
and Berlin in Germany's. As a matter of
fact, we are in neither corner. We are
only an observer, present in response to a
polite Invitation, and. while hoping for fair
play and a just decision, not in a recklesrs
or belligerent mood, and not at all likely
to be drawn Into any possible complica
tions. While they are of course possible,
why should there be any complications?
Squeeze the water out of the gossip on the
subject and the sum of the stock of this
mill would be materially reduced. It is
not a fight, but a contest for points.
There is some complaint because natural
historians do not stick to the truth in de
scribing brute intelligence. But historians
have time and again been caught romancing
about human beings. Literature cannot be
expected to discriminate in favor of the
lower animals.
After his opportunities for observing the
unscrupulous manner in which food and
statistics are dealt out to the public, it
would not be surprising if Secretary Wilson
became something of a cynic.
Looking at the matter in a cold-blooded
manner. It does seem that there could be a
little more genuine humor put into the haz

It will take a great deal of schooling to
enable the natives of the Philippines to

sugar and tobacco.

It may be quiet for Mr. Fairbanks in the

I)r. Harper's death from cancer, after the
exhaustion of every known remedy and
palliative agency, is a sad testimony to the
fact that tills disease remains unconquered
by modern science. Drugs have failed, the
knife has failed. X-rays have failed, radium
likewise has failed. Dieting seems to ac
complish nothing.
Consumption is no longer regarded as a
hopeless foe to life. It is treated success
fully in the earlier stages and some re
markable cures in the later phases have
been recorded. Outdoor treatment Is re
garded as greatly helpful, and notable
advances have been made In the preventive
work through scientific sanitation. At the
present rate of progress, through legisla
tion, education and the dispelling of the
unwholesome attitude of mind toward this
disease, it Is qult? likely that a tew decades
lie nee will find the world classifying con
Cancer.
sumption with the minor serious diseases,
preventible and curable.
The malignant, epidemic fevers, too. have
succumbed in large measure to the advances
of science. The germ theory of disease haB
worked wonders in the classification and
study of specific organisms and the dis
covery of their antidotal remedies. Yellow
fever, cholera, bubonic plague and other
pestilential ailments of humanity have been
at least placed in the category of possible
prevention through the exercise of care In
isolation and the use of disinfectants. Small
pox is no longer rated high as a menace
to public health. Tj ..hold, thanks to filtra
tion and Improved sanitary supervision over
the food and milk supplies, is falling stead
ily to a small percentage in the list of
causes of death.
The great advances' which have bfcen
made in a few years in the classification
and successful treatment of these and other
dangerous diseases leave the single obsti
nate exception of cancer the more emphati
cally a menace. Occasionally a theory of
character, cause and method of transmis
sion Is advanced, to be exploited for a time
and then discredited. Now and then a
"cure" is proclaimed, to arouse hope only
to fail to Justify the claims of its dis
coverer. Save for some few slight advances
In the matter of palliative treatment, great
er skill In the use of the knife in removal
and the more effective administration of
tonics, we remain where we were decades
ago in this one line rff therapeutic re
search. The twentieth century holds no
greater possibility for science than the con
quest of this dread affliction.

Unreturning Time.
From the Charleston News and Courier.
We have often alluded to the feeling,
which Increases with Increasing age, of
the rapidity with which time passes. In
youth a year seems almost Interminable,
in middle age It seems only a short time
to look either backward or forward; while
in old age "the days are swifter than a
weaver's shuttle" in their flight, and "we
spend our years as a tale that is told." But
there is another thing in connection with
the passing of time that becomes more im
pressive as years roll by. and that Is its
irrevocableness; the certainty that what
ever opportunities we lose are never going
to be ofTered to us again, and happy indeed
are those who have not in advanced years
many such lost opportunities to regret.
The worst of it is that such chances ap
pear to us more clearly in retrospect than
they ever can in looking forward. Things
that did not appear to matter much at the
moment have a way of assuming Impor
tant proportions as we !ook back at them
and realize all the consequences to which
they led, and how much better it would be
had we acted differently at the time the op
portunity was presented to us.
Glass House Inaugurations.
From the New York Tribune.
Congress should either hasten action on
the bill submitting an amendment to the
Constitution changing the date of the in
auguration of the President from March 4
to the last Thursday In April, or else take
a leaf out of Ohio's Journal of progress and
build a crystal palace, where the Inaugura
tion ceremonies may take place without
danger of death to those who participate
in or witness them.
War.
From the Indianapolis Star.
After all the ruffling of feathers and other
signs of irritation on the part of Germany
and Prance It appears that there will be no
war over Morocco. And, really, no one ex
cept the Innocents who put faith In sensa
tional foreign correspondence thought there
would. The time has come when even na

Latest Paris and Franco-American Millinery.
The pen and ink sketch represents a latest moment style ? a
clever affair just imported from Paris. Of white Neapolitan, it is en
circled by a drapery of delicate blue panne velvet. The brim is caught
up at the left by a stunning rosette in three colors. It is blue at the
outside, then white, and black in the center, and it is very smart.
