REVISIONISTS WILL MAKE HARD
FIGHT.
11 net-ins to he tho general council
huh of opinion among those who ought
to be conversant with lliu progress of
political and other events, and to Btsto
; np pretty accurately the status of
Congress on almost all Important pub
lie questions, lhat It will bo Prosldont
Rposovolt's fault if tho tariff revision
,lBtii fall to carry things with a whir
' hand through the coming session of
Congress, which Is to be called to
order on tho first Monday In Decem?
ber.
Although Uncle Joe Cannon anil bfs
astute nontenants on tho floor of the
llbusc, Sorem? Payne of Now York and
(ho Nutty Onlzoll of Pennsylvania,
bnve come out openly aud repeatedly
In strong assertions that Congress will
"stand put" on the tariff question,
there In every reason to believe that
lh> v are working a bluff game, for
veti-ian newspaper men, who have
nhlnvasscd the situation thoroughly,
Vnro decidedly under the Impression
that If the tariff revisionists In both
of the branches of the national leg?
islature get tho reins In their teeth tho
?dlcnl stand patters will not prove
numerically powerful enough to stem
the tide of revision, they think, In
'spite of the semiofficially acknowl?
edged fact that there Is a thorough un?
derstanding between tho administra?
tion and the Republican cougrcsslon
nl lenders that nothing Is to bo dorn
In Hint direction until after the pros
[dcutlnl election. The proposition od
gjancod l>.v Taft In his Columbus speech
t';On thlB subject reflects this agree
meat, and the real purpose of this do
gmaratlon on the part of the admlnls
(ration at tho present time Is to give
I Warning to supporters of Roosevelt
who happen to represent constltu
, ents favorable to a revision of tin
tariff that they c.m make no move
In that line without coining Into con?
flict with Hie administration's plans
The tariff agreement with. Germany
which the President will, compel Con
:grcss to ratify early in the session
Pflll not only start the ball of tariff
provision discussion rolling, but it will
."show unmistakably, when the roll call
^'ls over, that the Chief Executive bns
(.aligned himself with Uncle Joe and
;Jils far front solid phalanx of stand
patters. Tho President, according to
I an undoubted authority, i.s under ob
llgatlon to recommend to the Congres:
certain Important tariff legislation,
nn;| his obligation cannot be avoided
|pr evaded without giving serious of
fcfensc nnd violating an agreement with
BB. friendly and powerful government
These recommendations relate to the
?^administrative, features: but loglsla
f?tlon on one branch of the tariff opens
V-tho way to general legislation by
^amendment, and theVo is no possibill
?jity of the adinlnlKt ration carryln
|?Ut the treaty obligation to Germany
^Without opening up the enllro tariff
buostion, unless the Republicans in
#J2pngro8s can be brought to co operate
a unit to prevent any sort of
||?rhendmont of the bare proposition of
JSMmlnifltratlvo legislation to carry out
f#he terms of the treaty.
.'- In the light of this situation tho
^significance of the adiniiilstrallon
! declaration, that tanlff revision tuusl
I ho postponed until after tho presl
jSjdentlrtl election wili be readily up
predated.
ARTIST EARLE A MAN WITHOUT
SHAME.
Tlio people of Monroe, N. J., a
BUbUl.'h of New York, nro to I v con?
gratulated upon tho manner in which
they treated Artist Kittle, who nlmn
doned his wife and child in oiVlor
that he might marry another woman,
when In- arrived in the town nft? he
ami the woman who Is to become his
wife later on, had said farewell to tho
woman who had boon ids wife for
ten years. The people of Monroe
very coiUcctly resented Carle's up
pet.ilance In their midst und mode u
demonstration of disapproval thai
went hoyond the conflnos of the law,
hut Ihcre are times, like the one the
people of Monroe had to lace, when
the law does not cover the ground
fully or In a manner that Is satisfy?
ing lo decent people. Karle was
practically mobbed anil he made mat?
ters wo5so by attempting to defend
Ills actions by addressing tho crowd.
Ills language showed him to he a
man utterly without shame and de?
cency, and It Is no wonder that the
BOO I people of Monroe ceased to lie
patient and law abiding. The out
bronk was a manifestation of a spirit
or morality and regard for the high?
est hnv, which must gratify all Ameri?
cans*
Other men hnve deserted their
wives und laier on wedded for n sec?
ond lime; there have l.?cou divorce
cases Hint were revolting In the ex?
treme, hut seldom In the history of
the country has n man so openly de
fled the best law of the hind ? the law
of home and chastity?as hns this fol?
low Kaule. Km innately the whole peo?
ple t>f this country regard marriage In
the one light only ? that It Is u sacred
institution and that It forms one of the
firmest foundations on which the gov?
ernment rests. It Is not only u foun?
dation for our govn.ninent. hut Is tho
basis of the entire system of civilisa?
tion. It Is one id Lhd few things thai
tho American people will no| BOO
Openly violated. The very men who
are thethsoives unfortunate In their
mnrrlngo relations tiro orten tho first
lo protest when uuothor man openly
denies this sacred Institution.
A case in point is found In Maxim
Corky, who came to this country
about a year ago and who was ro
eelved with open arms, und it was
bei loved that his mission to this side
of lite Atlantic would he crowned by
the highest success. Suddenly It was
leni'iied iluit the great Russinn novel?
ist was accompanied to thin country
by a woman who was not his wife,
though he had a wife In Russia. I.Ike
a flash the American people d .topped
Corky and the anticipated triumphal
tour was ended In a miserable, dis?
graceful fiasco. OOrky Instead of be?
ing an Idol, beenmo an outcast, and
Ills departure was In direct contrast
With his arrival. Wholesome Ameri?
can sentiment will not stand for such
things. Perhaps our morals are not
the highest In the world in many to
snoots, but the people on the whole
rognrd the open violation of the
highest law with poslttve abhorrence|
mid disgust.
It Is Indeed a wholesome sign that
the American people regard the no
tlon of Karle as they do, and there
la not much danger of a nation crumi/
ling as long as the people of II have
the same high regard for chastity and
honie. :
.lust to think. If the residents of
Nowport News hud boon a little lib
oral In the spi'Jug Ihey would now
have a pennant winning baseball
team within their midst. The glory
of winning a baseball pennant is more
or less satisfying, and the advertising
the city would have received, would
not hunt it ? hit.
The fearlessness Hint Artist Barlo
Is displaying Is not true courage. A
shameless man has always at his
command a corHaln amount of defi?
ance that might possibly he taken
for courage?but It Is not.
Kx Queen I.lllluoknlani Is going to
marry Prince Ail Pal of Tahiti, who
weighs Ihreo hundred pounds. Queen
Ml Is no sylph like creature, und
without meaning to perpetrate a poor
joke, it would seem from appearances
that they would ho good pals.
If Uncle Job Cannon says just once
more that he Is not possessed of any
burning doaiuo to become Prosldohl
of the United Stntcs. the people will
really I'.'lievo he Is a candidate for
the office.

WATTERSON ON DRINK.
Kentucky Editor's Views on tfhe
Question of Prohibition.
Wo do nbl think that any morai end
or good public purpose Is reached by
forbidding the hotels Of a great cen?
tre of population, like the city of
Loulsvitjf', Jtrom ?\Tviug drinks t?>
those Who want them, and from In?
terdicting drinks from clubs of in
tleincn?In each instance Hie rules of
restriction and order being of neces?
sity ami of recognized stringency?
and, us there must be both equality
and equity in law. tho poor man should
lint bo barred from obtaining whnt he
wants of the nearby saloon, or "pub
lie," ns the English call them, sub?
jected ? the same obligations re?
quired of (ho hotel and the club.
In point of fact, the saloon should
be so conducted as no more to In?
vite police supervision than any other
retail business, (ban the corner Ki'o
eery, or the drug store, and the Honor
interest should welcome the regula?
tions I lint take it out of I lie category
of crime and put It In that of com
nif i ce.
Thai a man under his own roof may
not use and dispense such food and
drink as he will Is preposterous. The
Invasion of the home, the abridge
men! of personal liberty, which is
aimed at by the Prohibitionists,
smacks of the Imposition ami the
Blitke, Contemporary prohibition Is
fanaticism pure nnd simple. Temper

never has been; In Maine tho most

drastic laws have worked bvll, not
Rood. Wherever else they have been
tiled they have encountered failure.
So that. In our opinion, the wisdom
of thai branch of human ethics is to
cultivate Cue lighter drinks?such us
wines and beers - and to regulate what
cannot be controlled.
We believe with Jefferson that "No
niftioh Is drunken, where wine is
cheap" though he should have added
"and pure." Th,. Introduction of beer
In America has done more for tem?
perance than all the temperances so?
ldi ties and all the prohibition laws
combined. The result of the antt-caU
tcon legislation is playing .havoc with
the private soldier of the army. Fan?
aticism Is always tyrannical in Its
methods, prosclllptlvo In its spirit, and
mi.-taken in its end. To the decision
of a qUOSton so momentous should
he brought the force of common sense
and accumulated experience, not tho
hysteria of frunzled agitation.
