NEW YORK, JAM 25.-Mark Twain
is not a plutocrat, after ALL although
he does associate with Henry H. Rog-
ers. Mr.. Twain or as he is called in
his taxable capacity, Samuel L. Glenn
ems, made this a matter of official rec
ord today when he swore off his taxes.
He was assessed $4,000. The humor-
list wandered into the Stewart build
ing today.
I'm looking for the man who says
l have $4,000 said he. exhibiting his
yellow tax notice to President O'Don-
nell. rs he in?"
President O'Donnell turned the ia
nous man over to a colleague. It's
very flattering, I'm sure" said Mark,
land nobody wishes more than I do
that you had guessed right. But I'm
sorry to admit you've got the wrong
man, 1 haven't got the $4,000"
Mr.. Clemens explained that his
wife's estate had been distributed. AS
for himself, he did not have $4,000
worth of taxable personality. He vol
unteered, however, to pay on $1,000
personal assessment, though the COM

COLONEL LARNED'S PLAN

Colonel Charles w. Larned, a professor al
West Point, would turn the army into school
that men anxious to rise in the military service
might be attracted to the ranks:
Colonel Larned's first proposal is practi-
cally to double the pay of all enlisted men.
He considers this Indispensable to attract
good men from civil life in sufficient numbers.
His second proposal is TO turn the army into
great school, He would provide theoretical
military instruction for non-commissoned off,
GERS and private, he would give privates such
practical instruction as Is now afforded non
commissioned officers. and he would have all
non.commissioned officers take the course
now taken by those who are TO be examined
for promotion TO commissioned rank. Pri-
Yates, except those In the engineer ordnance.
and signal corps. whose duties require special
experts, should be allowed TO re-enllst only
once. Honorahly discharged and proficient
priyates should be guaranteed commissions
~ lIeuenants or captains In the volunteer
service In time Of war Troops should be
concentrated In large bodies both to facilitate
instruction and 10 AFFORD opportunity for ma
neuvcrs ON larger scale than IL practicable

now. The adoption of this plan, its author
believes, would raise the army to high eff
cheney and cause to pour from it into civil
life stream OF men who would make efficient
officers OF volunteer army in case of war.
Colonel Larneds plan is interesting and orig
NAL Whether congress can be brought to
consider its adoption practicable or desirable
is another question. He seems right, how
ever, in assuming that considerable changes
must be made in the army SO as to induce
better men TO enlist and to serve out their
terms-Chicago Tribune.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-01-04

Everybody knows that less than a dozen
men run that body and that these men, with
one or two exceptions, are owned by the
corporations. 1t would be a trial worth the
genius of a Sherlock Holmes to devote his
time to finding out the owners of these paid
attorneys of special interests and to print
his report in 'Who Owns Who?" Just now
the republican extraordinarily is a better

is aided by the owned democratic senators.

control the business world They set ex-
travagant examples Of social activity, the
very thought of emulating which would
stagger the man of mere competence. Some
of them are personal friends of the president
and many OF them are close friends of the
presidents friends. They have their allies
in congress, more especially in the senate.
The great craft of common usage-in some
instances graft operating under government
license-affects the reformer's own neighbors,
his own household guests. 1t is situation to
try even great mems souls 1t will especially
try the president in its bearing on proposed
rate legislation, insurance legislation, the
management of the Panama canal and ulti-
mately the revision of the tariff, although
the last named test will not come soon. But
in parlance that Theodore Roosevelt under
stands, the people believe that he will stand
the gaff." They would falter in their hope
of a better nation il he should fail; but they
do not believe he will fail. AT least they
do not believe he will compromise. They
believe that in final test neither the best
of friends the most powerful of opponents
or even the dearest of kin could swerve him
from great manifest duty.-Kansas City
Star.
The eagerness with which the flight of
President Morales and the disorder incident
to his decampment were seized upon by GER
tain members of the senate to precipitate a
new opposition to the ratification of the
treaty, shows that there is not much more
hope of ratification now than there was last
session. Mr.. Roosevelt may be defeated, in
spite of the successful demonstration he has
made with his experimental and wholly I'M
official policy, and in spite Of his urgent ap-
peal to the senate in his recent message. But
whether he suffers defeat or not, his action
will bear the test of time and his policy will
some day be written into the official prac-
tees of this government and will be accepted
by the other powers affected for the reason
that this policy is right and is also necessary
in the natural development of the Monroe doc
trine.-Kansas City Star.

President Roosevelts interference in
New York politics it causing strong resent
ment from Odell's supporters who claim that
such meddling on the part of the chief ex-
ecutive will result not only in his own down
fall, but will prove disastrous for his party
They are proving their assertions by some
interesting history. President Garfield's sup
port OF the men who were opposing Conkling
helped to defeat Blaine for the presidency.
President Arthurs backing of Folger for the
governorship led to the latters overwhelming
defeat, and the bringing of Grover Cleveland
into national prominence and later to the
presidency. The entire state of New York
is aroused to the situation and il is admitted
that Odell is so strong that ne can be beaten
only by weight of the presidents influence
being added TO that OF Governor Higgins.
and thus the fight which is now on In re-
publican politics In New York may easily
have far-reaching effect not only upon state
politics, but upon national politics Also

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
THE PRESIDENT

The propensity on the part of Presider
Roosevelt to assume greater power as presideI
than did his predecessors is arousing much cri
icism. Those who incline to the view that Pres
dent Roosevelt's strenuosity has led to this n
suit, are no doubt right to certain extent, Blu
a doctrine has grown up among us that is partl
responsible. Expounders of the constitution te
us that the powers not given to congress fol-
hidden to the states are reserved to the people
OF late years there has arisen school of cor
stitutional critics who argue that all power re
served to the people is delegated by the peopl
to their chief executive
There is no doubt that Senator Spooner
was right In his remarks. There has, all
along, been an apparent disposition the
part of the president to assume full power in
almost every department of the government.
1t smacks too much of dictatorship. Con
gress, and the country at large, as well, have
perfect right to full knowledge Of all mat
tiers pertaining to the Panama canal and
: every other public enterprise The people
are paying the bills and they have perfect
right to know what becomes Of their money.
II the president were digging the canal on
his own hook, and paying the bills himself
he would have right to keep secret every
thing about It, But the canal is public en-
terprise, and every citizen is interested in it.
Independent Review, Garrett, Kans.
Only three weeks ago President Roose-
welt in his message to congress described
how "a ruler sprang up in Santo Domingo"
who appealed to it's only great and powerful
neighbor for help for his distressed country
Mr. Roosevelt considerably loaned his brother
president a full set of American customs
officers. AS he approvngly wrote on De-
