HE esteemea HuntsylIle Mercurr.

IN HE esteemed Huntsville Mercury
w may it always rise and never
fall though the summer be hot
and the winter eold-indulges in a bit OF
good humored sarcasm at the expense Of
this column The Mercury facilitates this
column for discovering that Paul Morton
resigned his position as Secretary of the
Navy because he needed the money"
and not because he differed from President
Roosevelt on the railroad rate question
when the latter explanation has been ac-
cepted by most of the country's wise
heads The esteemed Huntsville Mercury
no doubt endowed with that feetness
which was the most distinguishing trait
of the original Mercury, scans the views
Of others hastily and jumps at conclusions
with swiftness that damages facts
Had the esteemed Huntsville Mercury
read more carefully it would have observ-
ed that this column referred to MIR. Nor
tons excuse" for resigning and quoted
that excuse, SO there would be no mis-
takes. The substance of the whole para
graph was based on the "excuse" and
there was no reference to indicate that
this column believed it to be the true
reason for Mr.. Mortons resignation or
that anyone else thought So However,
the point that our public officials are
underpaid. whether they resign for pc
cuniary or political reasons. is worth con-
sidering. Surely the esteemed Huntsville
Mercury will agree that there is some
thing wrong when a member of the cabi-
net has to worry along on a paltry $4,000
a year, while the bloated head of an in
surance company draws 100000 per an
mum?
A diminutive country mule stood by the
curbng. He was hitched to a post and
also to a dilapidated wagon, with wobbly
wheels. battered bed and a general APP
pearance of Reorganization. The Harness
which clothed the mule was old and
mended here and there with cotton string.
All about this rural outfit moved the
life of a busting city. Trolley cars sour
ried along, automobiles rushed up and
down the street, the raucous notes of their
horns rising above all the din; elegant
equipages rolled by, big trucks and ve-
hicles rumbled along and on the side
walks were many people. Perhaps the
little gray mule was perturbed at heart
by the unaccustomed noise but there was
no sign of uneasiness on his placid coun-
tenance. He stood silent, motionless and
patient, yet not without a certain dignity
and modesty that shamed the highstep-
ping thoroughbreds drawing my lady's
carriage To some of the throng who
glanced at the mule he brought a flood
of reeolleetions and a longing for the
sweet peace of the country. About his
humble and unlovely form there seemed
to linger the aroma of the fields and
of the soil. He inspired visions of cotton
fields. of spreading trees and MONDAY
sun that beat down on well titled acres.
His quiet features typihed peace and his
bearing was of one who leads the sim
pie life.

JOSEPH w. FOLK INAUGURATED.

Jefferson City. Mo, Jan. 11.-For
the first time since 1865 the elector-
al vote of Missouri was cast for
republican presidential and vice pres
idential candidates. Theodore Roose-
welt for president and Charles w
Fairbanks for vice president re-
ceived the full vote of the electors.
who met and canvassed the vote of
the state.
William ]. Bryan, who came with
his wife to attend the Inauguration
of Governor Folk. addressed the leg
islature on invitation of the republic
can house. Colonel Bryan was heart
lily received.
Corporation influences, Colonel
Bryan said, often controlled officials.
and to stop this he favored munich
pal ownership of public institutions.
He advocated the establishment of
state fire and life insurance depart
ments to furnish insurance to the
people at cost.
Il do not think our banks are
safe, said Mr.. Bryan. "They are so
arranged that they make money in
good times and throw the risk on the
depositor in bad times" He then
made reference to the affair of Mrs.
Chadwick.
Mr.. Bryan commended President
Roosevelt for recommending legisla-
tion to have campaign contributions
printed. He also commended the
president for his recommendation of
legislation enlarging the powers of
the interstate commerce commission.
Railroads control much legisla-
tion,' said Mr.. Bryan, "and if Pres
ident Roosevelt is in earnest in curb
ing their power he will lead a siren
uous life during the next four years"
In his inaugural address Governor
Joseph w. Folk, whose prosecution
of boodling councilmen while circuit
attorney in st. Louis won the gov
ernorship for him. recommended the
election of senators by direct vote.
and said that a governor. whenever
possible, should aid in settlements of
disputes between capital and labor.

MRS. GRENFELL's RETIREMENT.

Denver News: The close of Mrs.
Grenfells six years service as su-
perintendent of public instruction
calls attention to one bright spot
which has been utterly without
blemish on the official horizon of
this state.
THE best public official Colorado
has ever had" is the tribute of one
of the states ex-governors, who OBJ
served her work closely. The gath
ering OF prominent persons of all
parties at Mrs. Grenfells office yes
terday to express their appreciation
and admiration was most fitting and
a closing tribute of which to be most
proud.
Strong, just, capable, as mastery
in administration as elevated in
ideals, Mrs. GrenfelI has filled high
office with unique distinction. We
trust the state will not be deprived
of her services in some capacity wor-
thy of her ability and experience.
The benefit from her services already
rendered will continue indefinitely
and be incalculable always.
The time should surely come, and
come quickly, when this Office should
be taken out of partisan politics and
made dependent only upon fitness
and faithful service.

BRYAN BROKE BREAD
WITH LEADERS

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 11.-Several
national leaders of the democratic
party and many prominent state
democrats broke bread last night at
the Jackson day banquet of the Jack
son Club.
Following the feast, there were
addresses in which w. ]. Bryan re-
ceived the largest share of applause,
but National Chairman Thomas Tag
CART was also accorded an ovation.
When Mr.. Taggart arose there was
a burst of applause. Mr.. Taggart
declared that there was never the
slightest friction between himself
and the other members of the COM
mittee, and that the committee had
ample means for the legitimate pur-
poses of the campaign.
The best orators in the country
were everywhere on the stump.
And, in this connection" said
Mr.. Taggart, 81 want to say that no
man in America rendered more val
liable service, more untiring. unself-
ish and effective service than did
that distinguished gentleman pres
ent here tonight. William Jennings
Bryan, and as the head of the or
ganization, l want to make the pro-
per Acknowledgement and to thank
him
w. j. Bryan spoke as follows:
What the democratic party most
needs today is to be animated by
the spirit of Andrew Jackson as it
approaches pending problems. 1t
suffered overwhelming defeat last
fall and the prime cause of the de-
feat is to be found in the fact that
it lacked this spirit. 1t cannot hope
either to win or deserve success, un-
til it becomes a real Jacksonian par
ty and as old Hickory. ready to take
the peoples side on every question
without stopping to count the cost
or to measure the prospects of i'm
mediate success"
Concerning railroad legislation,
Mr.. Bryan said:
President Roosevelt is Just now
Shbtl ms upOu ii tOHltSl LOT lHe Tebu-
lation of railroad rates and the dem
ocrats ought to heartily support him
in the position he is taking. If with
democratic assistance he succeeds in
enforcing strict regulation of the
railroads engaged in interstate com
merce, the public will receive the
benefit and the democratic party will
share in the credit. If even with the
democratic assistance he fails, the
democratic party will profit by the
educational work which he is doing,
and the railroad question will be
still more acute. While | am anx-
ious that the virtue of government
regulation shall be fully tried, find
myself inclining to the belief that
public ownership is the only perma-
nent cure for the evils which have
grown out of the management of the
great arteries of trade. by a few in
dividuals who have their own pecun-
iary interests in view and who ex-
plot the public to the extent that
the traffic will bear it,"

ADDRESS OF

Denver, Jan. 11.-(Special. y

Governor Adams said yesterday that
he would later send in another mes
sage with such recommendations
concerning income and expenditures
as may be just and proper.
six years ago today" he said, 81
gave to the legislature an epitome
of local affairs of the state. Accom-
parison will show that in that brief
period the taxes collected and spent
have doubled, without a correspond
ing increase in population or wealth.
During the past two years Colo
rado has had many incidents to re-
gret, many deeds to deplore, but
much of our evil fame is due more
to our own exaggeration than to
the facts. Il is not true that half
the voters of Colorado are dynamit-
ers and anarchists, nor is it true that
the other half are shylocks and op-
pressors. Now, where is there a
higher standard of manhood and
womanhood than in Colorado?
THE annals of several counties
have been stained by strikes. lock-
outs, martial law and outrage. These
are poor testimonials of free govern
ment.
while strikes may not be forbid
den. we may dream of the reign
of justice, we may hope for condi-
strikes unnecessary.
First among these enactments in
| obedience to tn expressed mandate
of the people should be an honest
eight-hour law. This both parties
promised the people. Let that prom
Use be kept.
Next an amendment to the ar
bitration law, requiring a compul
sorry submission of any grievance or
difference between employer and en-
ployes. This is not compulsory ar
bitration, nor does it lead to a COM
pulsory decree, but it does compel
conference, and where the parties
to an industrial conflict honestly con-
fer, a settlement is almost certain.
Such a measure would clip the power
u an al bllidIy superintendent OF
manager to order a lockout without
reason. or with an equally arbitrary
walking delegate to incite a strike
without justification.

Teller, Pueblo. Huerfano. Las Ami

cate needed change in our election
