WATCH EXPENDITURES.

Congress will do we'll to take fay
orabie action upon the bill introduced
a few days ago by Representative
Hearst Of New York. which proposes
to place the administration of the ma
TONS affairs on business basis. The
measure is entitled:
"a bill to prevent wasteful depart
mental appropriations by requiring
estimates of expenditures to specify
in detail the items thereof"
It Is provided that the heads of
all departments in communicating
estimates Of expenditures and appro-
priations to congress or to any of
the committees thereof, shall spec
lily with full and minute detail each
item OF estimated expenditure exceed
ing the sum of $780, ALI such estl.
mates shall be printed in full in the
annual book of estimates at least one
copy of which shall be furnished b.
the secretary of the treasury to every
member Of congress annually at the
opening of the regular sessions.
This measure should receive the
hearty endorsement of every member
or congress, regardless of party. I'm
less such action is taken, scandals
like the postoffice steal cannot be
prevented. despite Investigations. Con-
gress should have recognized long
since the necessity for closer inspec-
ton Of appropriations and thus many
things that have occurred could have
been prevented.
Ii Is calling to the people of the
United States to be held 10 to rldi.
cule by all the nations of the earth.
as the most corrupt nation when the
blame rests on party administration.
The people have at last recognized the
fact that grating and corruption
Hourishes because of the re ckless dis
regard for business methods in yogue
under the republican administration.
There must be restrictive measures
and the bill Of Congressman Hearst is
long step in the direction of stop.
ping thievery in the public service.
Unfortunately there seems to be no
disposition on the part of the major.
ity to take this measure seriously
and the people have little to hope for

STANDS BY HIS PETS.

Many Democrats as we'll as Republi-
cans in congress are ripping mad at the
President of the United States because
he has done something that they con.
slider reprehensible. and this is the
story In brief: Several months ago the
President sent two agents or commits
Sloners to the Indian Territory to in
vestigate the stories of corruption and
rottenness Gown there among the FEEDER.
al officials. They went, made the inves.
tigation and reported to the presi.
dent through the Secretary
OF the Interior. Their report has
been IN the hands of the President for
more than month, and some three
weeks ago the House, by resolution.
asked the President for the report. At
that time the Indian appropriation bill
was under consideration and the House
wanted some information on the re
port that there was rottenness in the
Territory. They got none and the bill
was passed by the House and then
passed by the Senate and has been
signed Dy the PRESIDENT. Now, after
the thing has become the law, The Presi-
dent sends in the report of his agents
who investigated the stories of cor.
ruption, and the report corroborates
every charge that has been made con-
corning the Dawes commission and
the men who represent the government
in the Indian Territory. If that re-
port had been before the House before
the Indian appropriation bill had been
passed the appropriation continuing
the Dawes Commission in existence
would have been knocked galley west.
The President, by holding the report.
has continued the very men In Office
who his own agents say. are corrupt
and venal and should be driven from
the public service. The people may
draw their own conclusions.

GREAT POLITICAL PRESSURE. !

The republican convention at WITCH.
tia is past and the expected happened
AT no time was it thought that the
nominations would be different than
they were with the possible exception
of Charles A. Smith for supreme Judge
in place of Judge Atkinson who was
appointed to fill the vacancy made by
the appointment Of Judge Pollock to the
United States district bench by Presi.
dent Roosevelt. Judge Atkinson, the
new machine proposed and prated
about renominating. but the control
ling spirit at Wichita was governed
entirely by the desire to punish and
humiliate, and 80 Judge Atkinson
was used as horrible example, to
illustrate the certain humiliation of
any who might be suspicioned of not
endorsing all that the new machine
was doing. The purpose of those IN
control seemed to be to demonstrate
how completely they would, and did
blot out anything and anybody who
did not bend to the corporate powers
which are strangling the republican
party in Kansas today.
The railroad interests are too die
tatOrial in political affairs of the re.
publican party. They are bold and
DEFIANT and if persisted in will turn the
political affairs into keeping of others
than tie republican party. If the
course at Wichita which placed the
affairs INTO the hands Of roll
roads and cOrpo rations Is persisted in
1t will result In disruption and laying of
the foundation for an uprising that will
be as emphatic and pronounced as was
the sweep of pOpulsm in the early nine.
ties of the last century and from which
1T required ten years for the republican
party to recover. The great political
pressure which these corporate interests
brought to bear about the reck of the
republican party at Wichita Will
strangle the life out of it in this state
quicker than forty kinds of factions.
and the man who can not see this is
blind indeed.-Seneca Tribune, Rep.

DON'T GET SCARED.

While the administration is provided
by the decision of the supreme court
with an excellent opportunity for
striking an effective blow against
the trust system, the people are told
that no moro railroad combinations
mergers or trusts are to be called to an
accouut ting.
The Washington correspondent for
the Chicago Record Herald says that
although Attorney General Knox de-
clines to discuss his program, It is we'll
understood In the cabinet that the
president has no desire to make
trouble" for other corporations.
According to this correspondent, Mr..
Roosevelt ''ls we'll CONTEXT with his
success In establishing the principle
laid down by the court and has no de-.
sire to start out on a campaign of
prosecution. which to the final world
might look like persecution.
The cheerfulness with which the ad-
ministration is willing to ''abide by the
result" IS pointed out by the Record
Herald correspondent when he says:
There is no evidence that any other
combination, not even the Standard
Oil company. nor the Pennsylvania
railway. nor the New York, New
Haven and Hartford, is violating the
law. None of these is operating
through a holding company. so far as
known. Nor is it known that any
other company has overstepped the
bounds"
It cannot be denied that according to
the opinion of Justice Harlan, the beef
trust, the coal trust and many other
similar concerns are violating the law.
Administration officials cannot possibly
be in doubt as to the operations of
these trusts but it may be taken for
granted that they will not undertake
to follow up the advantage offered by
the opinion rendered by the majority
Of the supreme court.

good reasons why he should
