Perhaps they have a reluct ance, not unfamiliar in the great, to hoar what Is unpleasant though true. Tho Tribune Is not disposed to analyze their stato of mind. But tho Tribune permits itself to point out, as It has repeatedly pointed out with in tho last few months, that such a stato of mind among its leaders is tho only grave danger confronting tho -party today. And it is a grave danger. Tho Tribune has been at pains to test tho sentiment of -the peoplo as best it could through tho press of tho country, east and west. The verdict was significant, was impera tive. But it apparently has not reached tho political judgment of tho standpat leaders, although the results of two congressional elec tions have emphasized it forcefully. Our readers have followed the dis cussion of the Aldrlch-Payno tariff and of the tariff issue within ,the party in these columns and require no further discussion of the points made against the act by Senator Beverldge. But the Tribune wishes especially to Indorse the demand voiced by Senator Beverldge and in corporated in the Indiana platform for "tho immediate creation of a genuine, permanent non-partisan tariff commission, with ample pow ors and definite duties fixed in the law Itself." In the present temper of the coun try the Tribune believes such a com mission is called for as an assurance that there exists in the republican party a practical purpose to deal with the tariff scientifically for the com mon welfare rather than to leave it forever at the mercy of contending So far as tho democratic party is I concerned, me people Know or should know from its record from the facts emphatically brought out by Senator Beveridge concerning the opposition by the democrats in con gress to adequate tariff revision, that its public protestations bear a very slight relation to its leaders pur poses. The hopes for ft broad and effective revision consistent with the public good still can be founded only on the preservation of a republican majority in both houses of concress. The best friends of sane revision ar' among tho republican leaders, and to the republican party the nation must still look for constructive pro gress through legislation. As the Tribune believes, the Issue lies between progressive republican ism expressing the sentiment and convictions and answering the needs and demands of the people, and, on the other hand, standpattism and re action among some of the party lead ers who, like many of the conspicu ous men of the democratic party, havo ceased to respond to tho will of their own party rank and file or to sympathize with their ideals. mis conlllct, expressed in the struggle over the rules in tho house and apparent in the public temper throughout tho country, must be un derstood in the higher party coun cils if party defeat is not preferred to factional surrender. There must bo a- more enlightened attitude to ward tariff criticism, and there must bo substantial progress shown in legislation upon tho party pledges if the party is not to invite rebuke at tho polls in November.
