FOR THE AMERICAN SYSTEM

Following closely upon Senator

school the renewed assertion OF the
rights OF the states in high republican
quarters in Illinois is fresh assurance
that the extreme views put forth by
President Roosevelt and hs secretary OF
state will divide the republican party

The president has already raised the
question whether concentration OF gov
ornamental powers such as he proposes
would not be as great a threat to the
stability OF our institutions as was seces-
sion and whether the resistance OF the
American people to the one would not
be as firm az it was to the other.
The American people are devoted TO
tho federal COVER nment. They would
not see it ehorn OF a single one OF its
legitimate powers. Such OF its constitu-
tonal powers as have lam dormant they

Gance with the spirit Of the constitution
they atfectiopately regard it as the most
beneticent government on earth.
But national patriotism ia not stronger
than the state patriotism Of every Amer

INDEPENDENCE D

The London Times, one OF the very
few foreign papers that are intelligent
observers Of American politics, expresses
surprise that the great American middle
class allow the mselves to:be victimized by
dishonest, officials md tbievIng mouoL-

for roads, lights, the protection Of life

s%ariee, supplied ut exorbitant rates, are

One potent eason for the immunity
OF the American municipal CRATER has
been the tbriitless apathy OF the average
citizen as to how, and by whom, public
business is conducted. Another reason
has been slavery to political parties.
One OF the duties OF every citizen Ii TO
investigate for himself the government

his vote intelligently. Another duty is
to vote as the conscience, aud not the
party, dictates. Measurable indepen.
