Luo TIN THE sRUFFLE
What, may we ask in passing, has
broome of President Roosevelt's
mighty crusade for reform of the
tariff? Has it been lost in the shufMe
of things about our national capital ?
We trust these inquiries are not im-
pertinent, for we are sure they ure de-
c¢idedly pertinent to the appearance of
a uessage which breaks the recor as
to lenght and yet ia which there ap-
pears not a single word bearing upon
that question which but a few short
}..
months ago was touted as paramount,
The memories of the American
people are not too short to recall the
mighty fulmioations in favor of tarifl
revision which came from the White
House no longer ago than last spring.
Congress must take up the tarifl ques
tion—ymusT! Failure to do
certainly precipitate an extra session
of the new congress immediately upon
the adjournment of the old, in March,
Those close to the throne were per.
mitted to disclose, through the admin-
istration press, the exsct date of this
extra session as determined by
the President himself, It was to be
the 10th of March —or was it the 15th ?
One date or the other; a mutter
few days is immaterial. Bare Lo come,
however ; as certain as —well, death or
taxes.
For reasons sufficient unto thew:
selves, but not hen understood by the
public, those eminent republican seus
tors aud representatives whose chiel
concern is preservation of the Dingle
wall at its present imposing height
did not seem at all disturbed. Nothing
was doue by congress; yet, so far w
we have been able to discover, no sleej
threat,
either when March was the scheduled
when the
so would
upon
of a
was lost over this exira session
dale, or, Ister, date was
moved foward, first to June snd the
to October. Plenty of talk, but alway:
of future action which did pot come.
