The President Travelling Elk.
penSeS.

In raising a point Of order against
the item Of $4,000 for the president IS
travelling expenses, it seems as tho John
Sharp Williams had made another tao
teal mistake. like his prolonged but
Feeble filibuster to force report on
the statehood bill.
The country is just entering upon an
era of railroad reform. The senate has
added to the rate bill an amendment
which prohibits the issuance Of passes
!. to any but employees of railroads. In
the prohibited class is the president.
It may be said that the president re-
ceives a GOOD salary and can pay his
own travelling expenses. If the presi-
dent could travel as another citizen,
this would be true. If he could buy
ticket and board a regular train there
would be no need to provide for his
travelling expenses. But the president
cannot do that. He must have a spe-
cial train whenever he makes a journey
of any extent, not because the presi-
: dent is too fine to ride in a regular
train, but because the presence Of the
!. president upon a regular train, from
4 the standpoint Of operating railroad
Is impracticable. The people along the
: line want to see the president They
4 want to hear from him. The result is
q the regular train is soon thrown of
its schedule and must be continued on
!, its journey as special, to the annoy
ance Of passengers depending on the
regularity Of the train to bring them
to their business engagements. This il
e the reason why the railroads must carry
2 the president on special train. This
also makes 1t quite apparent why the
president should have an allowance 70:
3 travelling expenses. He cannot be ex
pected to hire train whenever h,
goes to West Point or Annapolis on
! trip which is at least semi-offcial, O
whenever he takes a longer journey t,
make patriotic or political address.
Mr.. Williams attacks the appropria
tion on the ground that it is an indirec
attempt to increase the president g sal
airy, and intimates that presidential
trips are to be classified as junket
which Objectionable on principle.
We feel sure that Mr. Williams ha
taken narrow view Of the matter, an
one on which the sympathy Of the cour
try is not with him. IT,. ~. -. r.-

Another Japanese Story by. John Luz
Their Long.-John Luther Long is said
not to have studied japanese life at first
hand. Whether he has or not he is able
to write tales Of unusual interest, with
Japs for his characters and Japanese his
tory for settings His latest attempt in
this line Is The Way of The Gods. It is
the story Of Shijiro tArisuga, samurai
who takes an oath to die the great death
In order to redeem his father and set
him on his way to rest Ina Buddha' s
bosom. But shijiro meets Dream -of "a
star" maiden Of the eta class, one OF
the despised. and what comes Of that
meeting, and how the eta woman keeps
the oath for shijiro Is the tales central

ENORMOUS WASTE OF BAD ROADS
Kansas City Times.


An American in Switzerland marveled
at the fine roads in that mountain coun-
try. How is it, he asked of fellow
traveller, that land as poor as this
can support such magnificent highways,
when in the great prosperous country Of
America we put up with VIGOROUSLY bad
ENTHUSIASTICALLY turnout the west? 2"
His friend replied, Don't you under
stand that the United States is the only
nation in the world rich enough to afford
bad roads? The enormous waste of the
kind of roads we have at home would
bankrupt any other state. The people
over here have built good roads because
they cannot afford the ruinous expense OF
not getting the harvests to market and Of
wearing out horses and wagons If the
western states of America were not so
wonderfully rich. an economic necessity
would teach the people there also. that
they could not afford to be without good
roads,"

How the Interests" May Save
5N.~s Money.

The people who have been contribute
ing literally to campaign funds, par
ticularly the large Interests in New
York, are counting on saving money
this year, now that legislation prohib-
it's the use Of money by large corpora
tions to influence political results; and
now that republican congress has
proven to be quite as ready to disturb
corporations in the enjoyment Of I'M
lawful privileges as a democratic con-
gress could be expected to be, there is
less reason for large financial interests
taking a part in shaping political re-
suits. In fact, it is believed in Wall
street that " interests likely to be af-
fected by restrictive legislation have
more to gain from republican defeat in
the house than from republican success
A democratic house and republican sen
ate would mean very little progress in
any kind of Legislation affecting corpo
rate interests and that divided condi,
ton of things would be the. best as
surance Of no interference.
- Heretofore the 1nGereSCS nave Deeu
especially sympathetic with republican
success because they feared democratic
ascendancy. When a republican con.
gress does those things which they
feared democratic congress might do
the corporations have little occasion tc
concern themselves as to which side
wins the elections. For this reason
money for campaign purposes will have
to. come this year, and perhaps always
hereafter, from people who are inter
ested solely on the side Of good govern
ment. It means, in the first place, {
very radical reduction in all kinds Of
campaign expenses and very much les'
money in politics than heretofore. Il
will be a very good thing if we neve
get back again to the place wher,
money cuts a large figure in the result
and is literally supplied by people VIII,
