And the address is not without signi ficance. In fact, few addresses have been heard in these years that were fraught with signifi cance so momentous in import to the nation. ' But wherein lies this great sig- niflcanc? The answer in implied in another question: Who was it that spoke? It us see. Taft is the nominee of his party fpr the greatest office in the world, nom inated by the party that named andelw!ted the present incum- bent in trat office an offlse whose occupant, according to the fun dameutal principles of our gov ernment, is a servant of no man, but the servant of all the people, to receive the dictates ol no man i but to obey the will of the whole people Now what is his first Bignifi cant act after his nomination?

Perhaps so. but logically hi mind is subservient to the will of his political crea tor. Like the faithlul Christian "lives and moves and has his being" in the will of hit Master, so this Rooseveltian begins his career in connection with the Presidency, his every thought the idea that in the wiil of the master at Oyster Bay he lives and moves and has his being. But it is not alone in the draft ing of the speech that he must voire this sentiment.

Whereas if be were present on the platform in per son the proprieties of the occa 8ion would limit the magnifying of his own name to the procla- mation and advocacy of "my policies"; as it is, while he lounges collarless on the lawn about the tion's"Bummer throne, the nation is listening to the address pre pared by his subordinate; criti cised, modified and o. k'd by bim self, and composed largely of ful some praise to his own name! Do the annals of American history show a parallel? ' Taft announces in uie ou rset that the strength o! the cause of lie Republican party lies in the raaintainance of tbf Roosevelt policies. Moreover, he is bold to proclaim that the work ot the next administration will consist in cliuching the- progress made by Roosevelt in carrying out his policies'' and in pushing to com pletion and putting into opera tion the machinery planned by oosevelt., The deliverance is significant, then, in that it lays down to a tree people who lor 130 years have elected officers to serve them, the proposition of self pr pituity in office.

What the Republicans mean by "tariff revision" is already be ginning to transpire. Chairman Tayne, of the Ways and Means Committee, will not, it is under stood, call together his commit tee until after the election. But the general outline of the scheme of revision which this committee was directed to pre pare and submit on the re-as sembling of Congress next win ter has became known in spite of the efforts of secrecy. According to the Journal of Comraerre, it consists ol little more than a general smoothing off and rounding out of the pres ent schedules. No serious or radical reduc- tion is contemplated or even dreamed of and if the Repubh cans should 'win, it is idle to ex pect any more than a pretence of revision, if, indeed, the sum to tal of their pretended revision does not add up more "protec tion." Ephriam was never more firmly joined to his idols than is the Republican party to "Protec tion." It has never had but two excuses for existence the aboli tion ofjelavery and the imposi tion of "protection.', The first issue ha been dead for forty years; but the other, ' ptotec tion," will be a live issue for for ty years to come if the Republi can party should remain in pow er so long. It can no more be ex pected to relieve the country 01 the abomination of "protection" than a rational man could be ex pected to saw ofl the limb on which he was sitting.
