JUST WHO WILL PAY THE BILL

Question More or Less Pertinent Concerning South American Trip of Secretary Knox. Without impertinent curiosity, but strictly in the .line of duty, the house committee on expenditures in the state 1 department wants to know (l) Who pays the expenses of Secretary Knox on'his South American jaunt; and (2) what right had he to take with him. as valet, Archibald S. Pinkert, a *1,200 * year employe of the government ; mailing room? y i

As far as memory serves. Secretary Knox was not ordered away, nor was L hinted he might do good by going. All advice was to the contrary. He was not pushed, but simply threw his hat into the ring as it were, gathered his family around him. told the faithful Archibald to come along, and steamed away. Now - the inquiry of Representative Hamlin of Missouri, watchdog Of the state department funds, as to who is pacing Archibald for valeting. ;is nie T with large wads of silence. ho is to pay Jftfe whole expense of the Trip is another vexed question. Neither the seer, t emergency nor diplomatic funds can be drawn übon. 1 uete is to available currencv except s*.ooo in the horse and stabli .i.. which may Ley drawn against, had'that ,woh*t pay one-sixteenth patt of th. 4 trip. * It !• a horse on 1.

Roosevelt Among Friends.

The national headquarters of the Roosevelt prepatranda are In the Munscy building. Wasl ing on Thus we have anotihen tie between the Roosevelt campaign and the steel and harvester trust's.' For Mr. Muusey is the intimate friend of George W. Perkins, of the harvester trust. He is also friendly to Mr. Rocsevclt. and a supporter of the movement to nominate him for a third term.

Easily Fits Circumstances.

Mr. Roosevelt’s ffrenra' activity | s shown by the swiftness with which h*» learned to disapprove of* a rr«si<fent whom he once esteemed so highly At 'be same time tenacitv of judgment is displayed in his . unqualified and unwavf -ing indorsement of that president's predecessor.

Roosevelt’s Real idea.

The right of the people to rule, in Mr. Roosevelt’s restless mind, means tile right of Mr. Roosevelt to rule the people. He is for tearing doWn constitutional government as the United States has known it. His of Judicial decisions, in practice, would develop an unwritten constitution to supersede the written constitution, which is the palladium of individual and minority rights and the last safeguard against the tyranny of transitory majorities—Springfield Repub'Jcan.

CAMPAIGN CLAP-TRAP

.. . . * ROOSEVELT'S TALK ABOUT “THE WHOLE PEOPLE’'’ ABSURD. I ■ I : ' . ■ . Ex-President Is Continuing on the Stump the Meaningless Outpourings That Marked'His Occupany of the White House. When Mr. Roosevelt says, “I would 'far more willingly trust the whole people to judge suetc a case than some special tribunal.” whom does he mean? .A v ,y \ Does he really mean “the whole peo pie?” Or does he mean a majority of > "the w hole people?” Or does he mea.p 1 a majority of the qualified voters, who are a very small minority of “the , whole people?" For example, ‘’the whole people" of ; New York, according to the census of | IFIO. consisted of 9.113.279 persons. I The total vot<FU:£st in the election of 1910 was 1,437,010! Out of “the whole people” only one out of every six voted at the polls. The other fivej sixths had nothing whatever to say .about their government. . .. Reducing the' equation to a matter . of r.r.jofitle-. 7.l*.voters out of a 1 population of fu113.279( in the election or ’-" were “tb s whole in [other words. this “majority of the | plain people” that Mr. Roosevelt re ' gards as practically infallible was comi posed of legs tha:; om twelfth of the j total population. Under the Roosevelt ; dispensation tbii ond-t welfth would Mh-ve power to ' aside any decision or -tii- Court of A; * .Is which involved j the constitution or tbe state’s police i powers, and the el- . en-twelfths would be bound by the decree. Coming fr«.,rh any person but a for j mer president of the United States, I such a proposition would be too fool- ! to merit sober consideration from 1 anybody.

Mr. Roosevelt does not believe in government by “the whole people.” If he did he would favor woman's suffrage He Would favor the abolition of all naturalization restrictions. He would favor the franchise for minors of both sexes. He would favor votes for criminals and for every person who had any stake whatever in government. i’o put his theory of “the majority of the plain people” to a practical test, •would be ro:.-ea; the’ thirteenth, fourteenth add fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States and permit “the plain people” of every southern state to deal with the negro according to their own .ideas of wisdom and justice? Most certainly he would not. The great strength of popular government in this country lies in *he fact that the American people have been wise enough hot to trust themselves with ab-oiiiH powers. The’-' have limited suffrage and deliberately restricted then:-elves, even to' tie extc:.' of providing that certain things must never be done, not f t e vote were up tnimous. That is why th.

Orly One Way to End It.

A well-known corruptionist sime time ago ago defined an hottest t tan as “one who would stay bought " ’'he tariff f xtortiooei' do not stay bought. We bought them In 1909 with inlefensible woolen and cotton sekedules, hut. though they raised prices, they fa Red to raise wages according o agreement. Now. on the compulsion of labor, they raise wages a trifle ar.d iiicrease prices again. Is there my way to beat this sort of thing ex ept to defeat the political party ha stands for it.?

Mrs. E. F. Sehuiz, Fort Wayne, lud., says,: “I suffered severely With kidney trouble, the pants in my back were alibost unbearable and the kidney action wa irregular and paintiu.. I took Foley-Kid-ney Fills and in a short time I yds completely cured.’I’—A. 1 ’ —A. F. Long.
