THE ORDER
CONTINUED from first page3

ance of non-action, no one of the
dominant party dares lift his voice
in opposition or denunciation. but
the executive influence is the only
influence in evidence while the SEN
ate covers in silent resistance"
The cause of this condition, de-
clared Mr.. Tillman, is federal pat
ronage."
Speaking of the president. Sena-
tor Tillman said in part:
when clashes have come between
the president and senators or rep
resentatives, the people have in al
most every instance sided with the
president.
"The people. poor, simple souls,
reading the special pleas and sophis-
ticated abuse of republican editors
are lax to think the president is any
thing but honest and patriotic. They
believe religiously that the senate is
corrupt and that the house is de-
bauched and the policies-'my poll
cies'-which are SO exploited in the
press-must prevail and become law
before any relief can be obtained.
Senators who do not agree with
the executive and refuse to abide by
his will must not be reelected. Con-
gressmen who refuse executive dicta-
ton are replaced by those who will
obey.
"Mr Roosevelt is always loud
mouthed and vehement in the procla-
nation of his own purity of purpose
and patriotism. He has absolute
faith in his own infallibility and is
apparently so drunk with power that
he unconsciously lapses into the i'm
perial we and sends cablegrams
about me and my people, But these
things are of small amount-'vagar-
les of a noble and impetuous spirit
and We could pass them by were it
not for the existence of cold-blooded
facts to show executive responsible
ity for many of the evils which eX-
ist without dispute. Paul Morton, as
vice president of the Santa Fe, in
the rebate cases lays himself open
to Indictment and liability to per-
sonal punishment, but the president
peremptorily refused to prosecute
him.
In referring to the recent panic
and laying the blame largely at the
feet of Wall street money kings. the
pitchfork statesman said in part:
''The profits of this notorious
stock mongering have found their
way into the pockets of the very
men who. with the evil results of
their frauds manifest, pose as the
saviors' and 'uncrowned kings and
are lauded to the skies when they
try to save themselves from disas-
ters which threatened to overwhelm
them along with their deluded vic
Tins. One of those 'saviors' had
done more than any other to deluge

Read The Daily Sentinel's "Want Ads
A WISE MOVE is THAT
-l TO ENLARGE HOMESTEADS

The following is an editorial from
yesterdays Denver Republican,:
The committee of western sena-
tors and representatives having
agreed upon the text of a bill author
izing the entry as n homestead of
800, instead of 160 acres, within the
distinctly arid states and territories,
it is probable that the measure will
be pushed with the utmost vigor dur
ing the present session of congress.
The purpose of this bill is to COM
pensate homesteaders in the arid re-
gion for climatic disadvantages by
enabling them to secure twice as
much land as homesteader under
the more favorable conditions which
prevail in humid states.
1t proceeds upon the assumption
that man trying to establish a home
on the public domain should be Civ
en- as much land as he may need in
providing for the maintenance of
himself and family. The same pol
icy has led to a reduction in the
area of homestead entries on land
| reclaimed from aridity through the
construction of irrigation works by
the reclamation service.
| In the last named case, while the
reclamation act makes the location
of 160 acres of reclaimed land pos
sible, 1t authorizes the secretary of
the interior in his discretion to re-
duce the area that may thus be en-
tered to a smaller number of acres.
Acting under this provision. he has
already In one or more cases placed
the area at 40 acres, and we under
stand that in no case has he placed
| it at more than so acres.
Thus it is seen that the same prin-
ciple underlies the proposed arid
homestead act which forms the par
ticular feature in question of the rec
lamation act, the area that may be
taken under a homestead entry be-
ing measured by what is believed to
be the ability of a homesteader to
provide for himself and family.
The wisdom of the proposition to
permit larger homestead entries
where the land is both arid and un-
reclaimable by irrigation is so evil
dent that it seems that no objection
can be made to it by any one who
sincerely desires to promote the set
tlement and occupation of public

Des Moines, Ia, March 17.-Dele-
gates are beginning to arrive for the
Iowa State Republican convention,
which will be held in Des Moines to-
morrow. A bitter fight has devel-
oped between the two factions of

The opponents of Shaw won vic
tory at the meeting of the committee

Defeated by the william Jewell Team
Last Night.

The Washburn trio who debated
William Jewell college at Liberty, Mo-,
last night returned today after a re-
end of a to l score.
The question debated was:
Resolved, That armed Intervention
is not justihable on the part Of any ma
ton to collct financial claims on behalf
Of private individuals against any
American nation" Washburn upheld
the negative, the side supported by
Baker university who lost to another
team from Washburn when this Ques-
ton was debated by these schools early
in the season.
A true argumentative battle was
waged last night. Challenges were laid
down and taken UP. The superior team
was hard to pick. The humanitarian
sentiment in favor Of international
peace at almost any cost is a hard fact
to meet. William Jewell supporters
who thought their cause was lost were
relieved to find the majority Of the
judges did not think so.
This is the third victory for William
Jewell this year and the first defeat for
Washburn. The members Of the win
ming team are Simrall. Roberts and
David. The Washburn men were Bow
man, Wingblude and Smick.
The judges were Edwin Marcy, who
is professor Of international law at Ne
braska university Superintendent Bill
caff and w. T. Dunn.
The Washburn team was royalty
treated by the William Jewell students.
