FLIPPANT MR. SCHMITZ.
Judging from tho character of the
Interviews given by Mayor Sehmlti
to the New York press representative,
he Is putting on a bold front and en
deavoring to spare himself the real
Isntlons of his home-coming until the
last moment. Well, he needs all the
comfort lie van summon, for his day
la at hand and his arrival at the city
he has betrayed will be the signal for
such a storm of reproaches and re
vlllngs and bitter upbraldlngs as will
cause him to wish from the bottom
of his soul he had never entered upon
the pathway of politics, but had clung
to his simple and honester course of
dispensing sweet music at the foot
lights, with his orchestra. His sud
denly acquired wealth will not only
have to be accounted for to the last
farthing, but It will have to be spent
lavishly and perhaps to that same last
farthing, In keeping his precious body
on the hither side of the penitentiary
gates. His flippancy will have oozed
entirely away by the time he has
crossed from the Oakland mole and
stands once more on the ground that
be has dishonored and among the peo
pie he has sold out for a "mess of
pottage."

THANKSGIVING EXTRA.
INSPIRED GENEROSITY.
EARLY REVISION.
The Columbus (O.) Journal Is of
the opinion that the diversity of opln
ion among the Republicans upon the
tariff question will not be dangerous
to party prospects. It claims pro
tectlon is rather more of a principle
than a policy, and the Republican
party has adopted the principle.
The editor says: "When we argue
with Republicans that we could revise
the rates on some things and. have
Just as much prosperity as we have
now, we want to get them right; it
won't do any good to try to get the
other fellows right, first, because it Is
impossible, and second, they are short
In opportunity But the Republicans
ought not to wait until they see pros
perity show signs of a relapse and
then resort to revision, for It will then
be too late to do any gpod."
He thinks that Taft should labor
with Roosevelt on the point on which
he hag gone sadly astray, and that Is
that the trusts are not interested In
the unrevlsed tariffs, as the president
seems to think. He thinks the Judge
could overcome the president on that
proposition very easily.- He believes
he, as well as all Republicans, should
try, at any rate, to come to a con
clusion In favor of early revision
which, he says, is "the most master
ful stroke in favor of economic san
itation there is."

The sudden advance of the wages
paid to the railway employes of the
country and that Just conceded to the
thousands of employes of the United
States Steel Corporation have a slg
nlflcance all of their own. It Is done
as a sop to the rising protests accum
ulating for presentation in the nation
al campaign to come: as a club to beat
down the claims of the working
classes, that are certain to be forced
to the front in the near future when
the accounts of the people and the
trusts are to be publicly analyzed;
as examples of corporate kindliness
and consideration, in offsetting the
harsh catalogue of oppressions of
which they have been guilty for years;
but the game Is too old, too shallow,
too simple, to deceive any longer. It
Is always an expedient applicable Just
in advance of presidential elections
and has lost its merit utterly.

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
Is it possible that the deliberate
official action of President Roosevelt
in discharging the three companies of
negro soldiers for blatant contumacy
and disregard of army discipline, is
to form a predicate for a long-drawn
race-row? Are such paltry events as
this to disturb and annoy the coun
try for months and give the cue for
depredation and public disorder? Mr.
Roosevelt la not the man we take
him to be If he relinquishes one iota
of the ground he has taken in this
matter He acted as the supreme
head of the army in maintaining the
discipline and efficiency of that great
department, and the mere fact that
the men Involved In the measures of
reprisal are negroes should cut no sort
of figure; it would have been the
same had the offending companies
been made up of white men. Only
the sentimentalists and those vicious
people always on the look-out for a
peg to hang some ugly sensation on
are keeping It alive. The negro of
today Is Just as responsible as any
one else, for his status in the public
estimate, and if he cannot maintain
it by adherence to the laws of the
country and the rules of society, let
him take the consequences; It Is time
to stop petting him every time he
gets into hot-water. He has the same
standing in the U. S. army that his
white mate has; the discipline re
quires his observance Just as It does
that of the white man; if he cannot
stand the pressure, let him get out
from under it. He Is no better than
the white man, and is entitled to
no more consideration. The country
is tired of having him thrust upon It
as, a martyr every! time? something
Why all this hullabaloo about the
tug and pilot service on the Colum
bia river bar? The bar, and the riv
er, are as free as the air about them
Why not put other tug and pilots
at work there, if these do not fill the
bill? It is a mere matter nf dollar.
and cents, and the finding of men
who can be trusted to do the work
safely and well. Competition might
be the very thing that is needed to
liven up the services. Portland has
any amount of capital and no doubt
the correspondence schools of
country could supply the pilots and
tug-men at so much per. The O. R
& N. does not own the Columbia river,
nor Its bar, though it comes pretty
near it in the public estimation; and
the bar pilot association does
claim any proprietary Interest in the
great submerged sand pile at th
mouth of the river. Anv man with
requisite knowledge can pilot ships in
and out over it, if he can get the
necessary license; and it Is the same
with the tug work Put on a com
petent service and see if it will stir
things up some. We have an idea it
will!

THAT REGATTA REPORT,
People are beginning to ask ques
tions about the last regatta and how
it came out, and are wondering why
the committee report does not come
to the front. It may be well to bring
the matter up In tangible form as
soon as possible, in order to head off
ambiguous conclusions. We have
knowledge of the fact that the regatta
paid itself out handsomely and that
there is a surplus of about the old
proportions on hand, but there are
those who want the figures and facts
and are saying so.
