EXPENSES OF THE PRESIDENT.

The Springfield Mass Daily Repub-
lican, commenting upon the item in the
sundry civil appropriation bill granting
the president $4,000 for travelling ex-
penses, concludes:
"But anyhow we had better pay his
way to the extent of $4,000 a year, or
even more, than load him upon the rail
roads to be carted about at their ex-
pense, thus creating for them an obllga-
tion against the public which will not
be lost sight Of"
But why should the people pay taxes
for their servants to travel for pleasure?
Officials in all branches of the public
service are paid for travelling on public
business, and the law should provide
that when the president travels on pub
lie business his expenses should be paid
But to pay the president and his friends
to travel on hunting trips, or to make
republican campaign speeches, is not a
just cause for taxation of all the people.
Ii the political party to which the presi-
dent owes allegiance wants him to join
in political campaign, it should bear
the expense.

TARDY JUSTICE.

At last tardy justice has been meted
out by the republicans of congress to
Oklahoma, and public opinion has forced
speaker Cannon and the republican
leaders to allow Arizona and New
Mexico to decide by referendum vote if
they will submit to joint statehood. For
ten years the republican machine has
fought the battle against statehood, al
though the republican national platform
of 1906 declared for statehood for the
territories, but the late republican boss
Senator Hanna, asserted on the floor OF
the senate that platforms are not bind
ing and his machine associates agreed
with him. The democrats, true to their
declarations, have consistently worked
and voted in every congress for state.

the people of the territories electine
senators and congressman who will
stand firm with the democracy of the
nation.
The admission of Oklahoma is 8
triumph for the democrats. 1t is ex

state will be democrats, and that five O.
the six representatives which it will
have under the new apportionment will
also be democrats.

CAN THIS BE TRUE.
proboble Reason Col. Temple is not
yet United States Attorney.

The Supreme court has affirmed the
constitutionality of the famous Temple
amendment. There is connected with
the amendment unique history. This
law was demanded by the railroad bro
therhool and was aimed particularly at
the G. B. 4 O., because this road was
then non-union road and had organic
ed the Burlington Relief department
by which men in becoming members OF
the Relief entered into contract, by
which, in case of personal injury, if they
accepted the amount due them on insur-
ance from the Relief department they
could not recover from the company
The Temple amendment is law which
prevents the company from avoiding
liability for damages because of such
contract. Col. Temple, of Osceola, the
father of the bill, fell under the ban OF
the G. B. & O., and as a matter of disci-
pline, they defeated the colonel for re-
election, for his presumption in intro
ducing bill that was not first o. KID
by the 60" The colonel after doing
penance for a year or two was again
re-instated, and has been working so
eXellently in the harness ever since
that he has been promised the appoint
ment of United States district attor-
ney to succeed Lewis Miles. But there
seems to be some hitch in the appoint.
ment, and it is very probable that this
case which has been pending in the
Supreme court for some time is the
cause of it.
Temple has had the promise of APP.
pointment to this Office for more than
year. Miles term expired in June
and under the usual rule of appoint
ments Temple should have been ap.
pointed months ago and confirmed by
the senate before adjournment.
Temple don't know why the appoint
ment has not been made; neither does
anyone else except j. w. Blythe, and
his member of congress from this dis.
trict, but the strong presumption is
that Mr.. Blythe hung up the Temple ap.
pointment until this case was decided
and now that it has gone against the Q
he may conclude that Col. Temple needs
to remain while longer in political
purgatory before he is sufficiently puri-
fed for advancement Creston Ameri-
can.

EXTORTIONATE PRICES AND
TARIFF.

On May %, Mr.. Aldrich reported
from the senate committee on finance a
joint resolution providing "that pur-
chasers of material and equipment for
the use in the construction of the Pana-
ma Canal shall be restricted to articles
of domestic production and manufacture
unless the president shall, in any case,
deem the bids or tenders therefor to be
extortionate or I'm reasonable"
The practice of giving the president
power to suspend the operation of a
general law for particular purpose is
contrary to our theory of government;
and if this resolution passes it will con-
stitute very dangerous precedent.
If domestic manufactures charge extor-
titnate prices, the general tariff law
which allows them to do SO should be
repealed.

The mower which costs our farmer $65

which is sold here for $500 is sold to

Editor Bailey of the Britt Tribune
says he has invented patent COW
mixer that beats all former inventions
along that line. He says
We have just succeeded in getting a
patent on an improvement of the above.
1t is an electric motor fastened on the
rump of COW, the electricity being
generated by small dynamo attached
to her tail. She strains the milk, hangs
up the pail and strainer. A small
monograph accompanies the outfit
which yells $50 every time she moves.
If she lifts her foot to kick, a little
dingus slips over a condivias and the
photograph says "dammett," and if she
continues to kick a hinged arm catches
the milk stool and lams her on the back
till it loosens patch of hair as big as
dust pan. A patent churn goes with
the outfit that works the butter in one
dish and the hair in another.

At the meeting of the Wisconsin
Society Of Sons of the American Rev
olution in Milwaukee few days ago
Neal Brown of Wausau was one of the
speakers. In the course of his humor-
Gus remarks he rather ruffled the
feathers of some of his hearers by de-
claring that the Mayflower must have
been loaded down with furniture; that
nearly every household in the country
contained relic in the shape of chair
or table that came to the country in
that old historical ship, while nearly
every American citizen traced his
ancestry back to the passengers OF
crew or to men who fought in the rev.
dictionary army.

Did you ever notice, says an exchange
how many people there are who seldom,
if ever, speak we'll of any other person?
Did you ever notice yourself falling
into that habit? Perhaps unconsciously
until very noticeable and disgusting to
others. Life for each is hard enough
without having others to magnify faults
and give them publicity. Why make
life harder for any person? Watch
yourself and don't let the habit get SO
strong hold that you cannot break it,
and go about speaking i'll of all you
know. There are good traits of charac-
ter in everyone.

Our roadmaster, Mr.. w. E. Criswell,
came very nearly meeting with fatal
accident, Monday, on his way to Gains
vile on his motor car. He arrived at
Burrows Station at 1:2O p. M, and
thinking he had little more time he
did not stop. A short distance south
of Burrows when rounding curve and
in large weed patch, he failed to see
the north bound passenger until within
few feet of it. He stopped his car
just in time to get himself off and out
of the way when the engine struck the
car. We did not learn how badly the
motor was damaged, but Mr.. Criswell
came down on the passenger, Tuesday

worse than the smash up of his car

Closing of Colorado

The Hotel Colorado closed Wednes
day morning after breakfast, making
one of the shortest seasons this popu
lar hostelry has had for several years.
On account of the rainy, disagree
able weather last week, the patronage
diminished rapidly and the Colorado
Springs celebration and the Denver
tournaments would have tendency
to take tourists away from Glenwood,
SO the management decided to close for
the year.
While the cool summer all through
the East made the tourist trade light
er than last year, Manager Lucas says
the hotel made many improvements
and still kept the balance on the right
side of the ledger. A specially encour-
aging feat ure of the season was the
splendid patronage from the southern
states, Tennessee and Texas contrib
uting more tourists to Glenwood than
ever before. Their number, of course,
will naturally increase each year, but
