TEDDY IN PETTY POLITICS.

1t was announced from Washington.
d. G., a few days since that john ID.
Rockefeller had sent kilograms to Six
prominent senators who were directed
to oppose all antitrust legislation in the
Un.ied States Scn2tc. These kilograms,
it appears. were OF The order Of COM
mandS. In the SAME Geographic column
it was announced that President Roose-
welt would call an extra session of Con-
mress if scne measure of relief is not
enacted by the present body. BIT since
then th,rc has been an emphatic dcni1l
by Rockefeller OF the kilograms alleged
to have becIn sent by him as indicated
by special to the Memphis Commercial
Appeal as follows:
Washington, Feb. Q.--(Statf Speclal)
The story that john d. Rockefeller Of
the Standard Oil trust sent several SEN
ators kilograms urging the defeat OF the
publicity amendment to the antitrust
bill came from the White House in an
indirect way. 1t seems that six senator's
did receive some telegrams signed by
Rockefeller and others by his attorneys.
The administration irauguratcd the
publication Of the story III order to force
some sort of antitrust legislation in
hopes Of saying after Congress add

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

In an editorial article headed The
State Campaign the Homer Journal
says:
"However, we are not inclined to adj
vocate or oppose candidates just at this
time There are other important matters
which should be discussed and settled
before we diNid into factions over can
didatcs and their claims. The method
of nominating the ncXi State ticket Is
important. Conventions have fallen into
disrcpute and fail to satisfy the people.
We want to bring the Democratic party
into closer touch with the people and
make it more responsive to the popular
will TO accomplish that, popular
method of nominating the next State
ticket, like the direct primary method,
must be adopted That will give every
candidate a fair chance and satisfy the
public. A cut and dried convention nonl-
nation will not satisfy the rank and
file of the party.
INSdllly CNSly pNJiiS oiiSiai III YIN
State should be elected by a direct vote
of the people. Our suffrage has been
restricted and there is no sound reason
why the Governor should appoint par
ish school boards, assessors and other
public officials. The people are capable
of electing their own officers, and by all
means should be permitted to do so.
Our governors should not be dictators.
Every unnecessary office should be abol-
ished. The people are not rich enough
to pay taxes to support useless office
holders. Our common public schools de.
mand more liberal and generous sup-
port, The State should give all of its
children a common school English edit
cation.
these are some of the things which
we desire to see accomplished under the
next State administration. 1t is in order
for the candidates to come out in the
open and make their views known on
these and other public questions"

AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN
DIPLOMACY.

From the European side of this great
round world comes in rcproachful tones
the assertion that we have no diplomats
in this country Measured from the
standard of Europeans we have not. A
skilled diplomat is one who is always
playing for something he would not
have: double dealer whose ambition
is to entangle and mislead and in the
end get the best of bad bargain Re-
ferring TO Minister Bowen, who is man.
aging for Venezuela, the high felluted
and high felluting, trained diplomats of
Europe look upon him as a crude and
somewhat vulgar product of the United
States, a plain, blunt man who knows
little of conventionalities and who is
sufficiently indiscreet as to state his case
clearly and then rest on his demands
The trained diplomats of Germany and
England and Italy and all others inter
ested more or less in their grab-all in
Venezuela have been pleading with him
III saiiit boNSii, Dis Ill sAiiieIlCdll, Has
long since realized that the diplomat of
Europe who is regarded as the most
skillful is he who can indulge in the
greatest latitude of tergiversion--in the
words of the United States lying and
as Bowen is truthful man and no
"blutfer" he has simply called the game
of bluff, and in a figurative sense. Eng
land and Germany are on their heads
kicking in air. Neither eaieling or in
simulated threat have moved the plain
blunt American in his stand for justice
and right. When pressed to bounds i'm
reasonable he has pointed to The Hague
tribunal for settlement, and there will
be adjusted on fair and honorable terms
to all concerned the differences and the
claims which have led England and
Germany TO make foreeful and forcible
demands on Venezuela And. alter all.
American diplomacy has, prevailed
against European diplomacy In other
words, that crude, vulgar interloper Of
an American has cleaned up the best
and most skillfui liars Of Europe.
