VOICES Of THE PRESS.
State Auditor.
(Northern Leader.)

The Leader has observed with great
satisfaction the hearty approval given
to the action of the Republican State
convention in regard to State Audi
tor. Especiallyis this the case from the
fact that we served on the committee
of resolutions, and heard all that was
said for and against the resolution, be-
fore unanimous decision was reached
by the committee in favor of submit
ting it to the people for their approval
Being fully aware of the prejudice
that exists in the public mind against
an increase in the number of salaried
officers from a party standpoint, we
were not at first disposed to look with
favor upon it. But upon a careful con-
sideration of the question, from a non
partisan business standpoint we were
surprised that action had been delayed
so long. and but for the honesty and
integrity of the Republican officials
who have so long and faithfully served
the State, the people would have long
ere this seen the necessity, and de-
manded the change in organic law that
would have called for the office and a
competent officer to scrutinize their ac-
'ouiilS. Anu yet NDtD we realize t05t
these very men who have served the
State would not for moment carry
on business of one-tenth the amount.
without a salaried officer whose duty
would be to carefully scrutiniZe every
bill before it received the proper APP
prevail to draw a dollar from the treas
ury. Good business enterprise de-
mands the office, and the public duty,
of citizens without regard to party. de-
mands its most hearty and cordial sup
port. 1t may be that the cry of re-
trenchment and reform will be raised
against it, and that it will cost the Re-
publican party some votes, but if such
is the case we can afford to lose even
in a Presidential year. while support
ing real and important reform, and
placing the great interest of the State
upon true and reliable basis. In place
of losing votes, the Leader believes that
there is sufficient business ability and
sound judgment among the voters of
Maine TO increase our majority upon
this very issue.

An impossible" Acquisition.

VIM. j. Bryan solemnly asserts that
lit is impossible to secure title to a
people by force or by purchase" dec
laration which shows a lamentabe ig-
norance of history or deep enjoyment
of wilful misrepresentation. Now. if
a thing is really impossible, according
to dictionary definition, it never was
done and never will be. If a thing, has
been done, it is not an impossibiity.
What man has done man can do
What country has done a country
can do. The Hartford Courant takes
few examples from American history
to show Mr.. Bryan the magnitude of
his mistake. Let us summarize those
examples.
The United States secured title To
the Louisiana territory people Call col
ors) by purchase in 1903. The nomi-
nal price was s15,OoO,OOO. The consent
of the Louisiana territory people was
not asked. The men at the American
end of that transaction were President
Thomas jefferson, Secretary James
Madison. James Monroe and Robert r
Livingston. The United States secured
title to the Florida people (all colors)
by purchase in 1919. The nominal price
was 100000 The consent of the
, Florida people was not asked. James
Monroe was president in 1919; John

asked whether they consented to be
governed by the United States. James
X. Polk was in the White House in
1S4S and James Buchanan was at the
state department In 1853 the United
States secured title by purchase to the
white folks and Indians living in what
is now southern Arizona; price, 100000
600. They We're not consulted in the
transaction. Franklin Pierce was
president in 1858, and William L.
Marcy was secretary of state. In 1861
the United States secured title by pur-
chase to the Alaska people, paying
$7,20O,000. Their consent was taken for
granted Gf it was thought of at alp
by President Andrew johnson and Sec
rotary William H. Seward.
To all these transactions-every one
of them purchase Of sovereignty
the Senate of the United States was a
party. All of them have been ap-
proved, ratified and confirmed by the
people of the United States. Yet Mr..
Bryan calmly tells his applauding
''anti-imperialists'' that the United
States cannot acquire title in that way.

This transaction affords us a financial
prestige never before enjoyed, and is
another decisive step in the direction
of New York's advance to the first
place in the worlds money center. It
Is the forerunner of the worlds govern
ment securities that will ultimately
ma their broadest market here. We
nave demonstrated our immense finan-
cial strength before all nations and
now make beginning in reaping the
reward. Such a development would be
utterly impossible if our finances did
not rest upon an unequivocaI, gold
basis, maintaining our currency upon
equal terms with that Of other great
