"Th tuential tariff reform it it tait Iht

'' democracy but it Is an observation so
common in current political literature that
1 ; It raises a question quite Its own.
Keformers are endeavoring to take so
many things out of politics that I wonier
: What will be left when they get through.
- Meanwhile my recollection of the dic-
- tlonary definition abides: "PoliUcs The
science and art of government." If poll-

Vtll we do with them? If we take them

Awuch only a few days ago?
There'-ls either some loose thinking or
i'lome ioose writing and speaking or
v - both. ...
Of course the term politic as un
it ployed in such writings is an wiomaiic
'designation pf the reprehensible In poli--tlcs
and It serves Its purpose by com-
''mon usage but I am protesting against
'the abasement of a good word and es-
I pecially against the undeserved contempt
which it expresses and more especially
I still against the psychological effect of
the constant reiteraUon of. such pet
phrases.
The tariff la tax and the levying of
taxes la a legislative function. Even If
congress can delegate Its taxing func-
tion in a particular case like the tariff
under maximum and minimum limitations
as proposed It can not or should not
hrffratn its office. We had a shocking

could be limited by congressional action
to any rat or rule that a majority of the
congress might desire. If the commis-
sioners were elective their elections
would involve the tariff issue; if they
were appointive the membership would
be subject to change by the president. If
we had a tariff commission if the tariff
should be a paramount issuoin the next
presidential election and If the advocates
of higher duties should win the new
(resident and the new congress would not
ruly reflect the public will If they did
not by one means or another eause the
tariff to be revised upwards.
D the advocates of a tariff commission
have it In mind to erect a taxing agency
that wUl not be subject to popular man-
date? If I correctly read between the
lines they do; and If so they are con
scious or unconscious advocates or the
rule of the superior intelligence of the
few and such doctrine ts at odds with
the spirit of 'democracy.
The people -often blunder but with a
truly representative government that is
Initiative and courageous as well as obe
dient they do not blunder so grievously
as the intelligent few removed from pop
ular responsibility; for it Is still true of
human kind that wisdom runs to conceit
and righteousness to Pharlseelsm unless
there he some circumstance or environ-
ment or limitation which will require
those in authority to keep In touch with
common things'
The tariff la a bothersome subject It
has caused more vexation to statesmen
and to "business than any other modern
problem of American atatesmanahlp'. It
has been the undoing of aoAe worthy
men and the upbuilding of some unworthy
men.' But it differs from other trouble-
some problems in degree only. The
statesman most take the difficult with
the easy the tariff "with civil service
and must incur the risk or error of Judg-
ment. . If statesmanship .were simple
there Ts-ould be no credit In public serv-
ice. And back of the statesman the
people .must understand principles and
policies or there will ; be no stability or
wisdom In democracy. They can not or
will not. understand government. It they
have no part in it and they have part
In It only by participating In its pro-
cesses. The private business which en-
Joys the benefit inevitably Incident to
nearly every tariff schedule out of which
grows the protectionist view must incur
the nasara of changing publla opinion as
the morchant Incurs the hasard of fickle
fashion the fanner the hasard of fickle
weather and Industry In general the has-
ard of panlcjknd war. We can not evolve
a system or government which will In
sure -prosperity; this ts a world of chance
and pest and human fallibility.
All of which Is to say that popular
government ts a serious business also a
costly business in - Its requirements of
patience and Intelligence but richly
worth all it cists serious foatbe gov
erning and for the 'governed - for the
statesman and the-cttlaem and each must

coming the friction of political machin-
ery and a precedent for other and inore
dangerous methods of bureaucratic legis-
lation and administration. The late In-
dustrlal commission was a pitiful exhibi-
tion of clashing view which. In a per
manent body of regulation would make
"confusion worse confounded."
Moreover "taking things out of poll-
tics" Is taking them out of popular con
trol. Our reformers seem to have aban

have never lost faith - in representative
government as a more efficient instru-
ment than a pure democracy which is
impracticable except Hi a small commu-
nity but the proposed delegation of re-
sponsibility by the . creation of govern-
mental agencies beyond the restraining
reach of the people's arm raises up the
fear that such agencies may fall under
the domination of selfish Interests. For
all the fervid seal In behalf of the Initia
tive referendum and recall those in
struments are falling into disuse v.here
they have been adopted oecause they
have disappointed the expectation of the

cat problems least of all the problem of
taxation and they may nereaiter oe com-
pelled to resort to drastic measures to
recover their cowers.
City government by commission is an
other example though far different In
Its nature because It Is only s simpler
form of representative government while
tariff commission would oe a delega
tion of government I had a modest
share in working out the Galveston com-
mission the first of its kind and I am
convinced that it is th best form of gov
ernment for small . municipalities. But
those who thought It would take city gov
ernment "out of politics" are sadly dis
appointed; I could name a city under
commission government whose last estate
Is no better than Its nrst because the
people have permitted small politicians to
possess the commission. The commis-
sion is only a more convenient end more
reliable agency tor exercising the major-
ity judgment of the whole city and for fix.
ing official responsibility. It is not nor
can It be an automatic Instrument of
virtue and efficiency. It Is essentially and
unavoidably politics good politics or bad
politics according to the Intelligence and
alertness ef the citlsenshlp It represents.
I dare to say that popular government
Is always and everywhere representative
representative even when It is weak or
vicious for then Its weakness or its vt
clousness represents civic neglect which
is quite as aepioraoie as vies or ignor
ance. .Bosses rule only where the people
tolerate them; graft Is found only where
the people fall to require honesty In the
public service. This Is not- to say that
we need not labor to improve the instru
merits of government.- but 11 is to remind
us that good government and bad gov-
ernment each Is compound of the ue
pie and their servants and that we can
not take government out of politics any
mors than we can take the piiysical boy
out of 'its sweating skin r. k-. i
Another example ts the short ballot

the less objectionable for an affectation
of righteousness.- The present notion Is
to gjve the executive large powers and
hold him 'responsible tor all political re-
sultseven legislative and institutional
policies during the term of his adminis-
tration. President Wilson seems to have
this view In a considerable' degree and
men under. the spell of admiration for
him are unduly magnifying the vlrture
of loyalty and chosen leadership. Even
If some of his appointments did not reveal
the fallibility of his judgment of men
It is dangerous to bestow powers which
headstrong executives hereafter will
abuse. The European war has amased
us all by Its revelation that national
passion has been tempered but little by
the civilisation of centuries. In like man-
ner some exciting occasion In the future
will remind us that partisanship willful
ness and ambition have not yet altogether
departed from those whom we choose to
administer our public affairs.
' Nothing In recent history or prevailing
conditions teaches us to fear less
than our forefathers feared unlimited
power in the hands of either Individuals
lor majorities. The conspicuous virtues
manifest in a few high places' are refresh-
ing but they are not conclusive of the
regeneration of the whole tribe of office-
holders; and even '.f they wero conclusive
of virtue perfect wisdom remains to be
established. Nor Is there reason to relai
the constitutional safeguards of minori-
ties against tho Injustice of majorities
The sober judgment of the people Is wiser
on the whole than the judgment of theJ
wisest Individual. The resultant or de
liberate public opinion Is truer than the
ratiocinations the most brilliant mina
as the harmony of a chorus of ordinary
voices ts truer than tne singing or me
best trained vocalist. But the rash judg-
ment of the people Is as fallible as the
rash Judgment of the Individual) and
when it is directed to matters of minority
Interest It is sometimes as cruel as any
tyranny of any age. Witness the recon
struction policy of the seventies vhlch
all Just men have since deplored as a
monstrous blunder though a majority of
the people of the United States then ap
proved It; and witness toe spouauun ui
Belgium which the sober judgment of the
German people hereafter will repent in
sorrow. We may not safely assume that
the American masses are much wiser or
much less subject to political passions
than the American people oc a generaiian
ago. -Neither Americans nor Germans

'There la another danger . In taking

self Inculcates dissatisfaction quite be-
yond the just desert of our system of gov-
ernment; It raises up false hopes of ap-
proaching perfection and It generates a
kind of anger against all things govern-

NEW JOBS FOR WOMEN.
Four Young Women Employed by Western
naiiroao in rassenger Department
An experiment which may open up an
entirely new Held of endeavor for the
women workers of the country has been
started by the Union Pacific system in the
noriuwesiern Biaies uregon and Wash-
ington. Recently four young women were ap-
pointed to the positions of passenger and
ticket agents in the cities of Portland.
Seattle Spokane and Walla Walla. The
success with which these young women
attack the peculiar problems of attend
ing to the wants of women travelers Is
oeing watcned not only by railroad offi-
cials the country bver. but bv milTrilirt
and all advocates of equal opportunity for
moil nu nwuon.
It is to be expected that this mrl.
ment should be made in the Pacific North-
west where women workers and voters
have received great end general recogni-
tion. Whether the new Dractloa become
general spreading to the other lines of
the Union Pacific system and to other
rauroaos depends largely upon the work
of the four young women. They are Miss
Flynn of Seattle Miss Olive E. Lender of
Spokane and Miss M. L Baker of Walla
