(tho affairs of stato absorb so much
of their attention that they are com
pelled to do themsolves this Injus
tice. 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. Chicago
