The Only Remedy.

A country newspaper in Kansas which
bears the name of Elk County Citizen
gives out this nugget of truth and wis
dom Before the voters can expect hon.
esty from their representatives they must
be honest with themselves" The occa-
sion for that deliverance Is the conduct
of few members of the Kansas senate
who are said to be tools of eundry cor
porations, and who were elected by their
respective constituencies when their re-
lation to those corporations was generally
known. The Kansas City Star, which,
although published in Missouri, pays
much attention to affairs in Kansas, gives
the names of four senators, and declares
that there was not man who voted for
either of them who did not know pre-
cisely where they stood on the issues be-
fore the public. And, further, the Star
asserts that all who voted for these men
knew that they would be obedient to
their masters. In most instances the
voting citizens are responsible for the
offenses of the men whom they elected
to make their laws. A stream does not
rise above the height of the fountain

WILL HE BE Drafted?
The Fear Is, After All, President
Roosevelt May Be Third
term Conscript.

Editorial in the Sew York World.
A Presid, initial poll Of the Republican
members of the Iowa Legislature gives
Roosevelt ~, Cummings 7, Shaw 8, Taft
4, and Root /. a recent poll of the Ne
braska and South Dakota legislatures
showed a similarly preponderating sem
timent in favor of the denomination of
Mr.. Roosevelt The situation is without
precedent in American politics.
Washington could have had third
term. but there was no strong popular
sentiment in favor of his denomination.
The Federaiist leaders who had identified
themselve, with his administration were
more or less discredited, and there was d
common belief that they were seeking to
use him to accomplish their own politi
cal ends. Washington himself was con-
WINGED that as ID candidate for third
term he would be no stronger than any
other Federalist.
The Grant third-term movement was
largely artificial; it was shrewdly worked
Grant except as an instrument to adj
vance their own fortunes. His populari-
ty was political asset to be capitalized.
In Mr.. Roosevelts case the demand for
his denomination comes from the soil and
to factoy. Managing politicians of his
party are not clamoring for him. A sc
cret poll of the United States Senate
probably would not show ten Roosevelt
votes, and it is likely that majority OF
them would be cast by Southern Demo
Gratis. In the House the result would be
more flattering to the President, but il
would foreshadow anything but a STAN
peded convention.
In general the leaders of Mr.. Roose
velt's party, so far as there are any ex
cept himself, are opposed to his renomi
nation. He himself is opposed to it
The great financial and corporation in
terests of the country are opposed to 1t
Apparently nobody wants Roosevelt ex
cept the people, and they have very def
mite opinions on the subject.
Can the President with the aid of tn
party machinery prevent his own nomi
nation Obviously it is going to re
quire something more strenuous than tn
penning of formal statements to proven

Knoxville, Tenn, Mar. 11.-Knoxville,
by majority of nearly 1000 votes, de-
cided to-day that the saloons must go.
Under State law granting incorporated
cities the right to say whether or not
they desire saloons an election was held
as an expression of sentiment. The re-
suit was majority of 1921 for prohibit
ton.
When the legislature reconvenes after
its recess bill will be introduced abol-
ishing the present charter and reincor-
porating the city without saloons. Six
months time will be given the saloons IN
which to close.
To-day's election was marked by men,
orable scenes. Five thousand women and
children paraded the streets before the
polls opened, and all during the day wom-
en- worked at the polling places, request
ing the men to cast their ballots for the
temperance cause.
Tonight several thousand men, women,
and children are out celebrating. A fea.
ture of the parade to- night was water
wagon covered with University of Ten
nessee students.
An idea of the sentiment in this city
was shown when a spectator remarked
to-day that women and children could
not vote. small boy ran up to the
speaker, and, shaking an American flag
