members of his family, and will reach

Roosevelt and Congress.

The letters from the president to
Senators Smith, Stewart and Rayner,
indicate a state of things fraught with
danger to the republic. The president
says, in effect, that as commander-in-
chief of the army, he is supreme in
military affairs, and, therefore, that he
cannot and will not be bound by laws
passed by congress in conflict with his
wishes. If he can sustain himself in
this position, a military dictatorship
might be the eventual result. An
army dependent upon the president
alone, and a president independent Of
law mean the destruction of constitu-
tional liberty and the establishment
of Caesarism in its stead. The con-
~troversy between the president and
the senate on this point is momen-
tous.

TWENTY HURT IN WRECK.
Passenger and Freight Collide and
Both Engines Are Demolished

st. Louis, Mo.-Twenty passen.
gers, the greater number of whom
were brought to St. Louis early Fri.
day, were injured when a passenger
train and a freight train ran together
in a head-on collision on the Wabash
railroad near Pendleton, Mo, Thurs
day night.
OF the 140 passengers none was
killed, though several of the injured
are believed to be in a serious condi-
ton.
The passenger train was one hour
behind time and was running at a
greater speed than usual. The wreck
is believed to have been caused by a
misunderstanding of orders which
would have held the freight train at
Truesdale.
Both engines were demolished, and
the baggage and mail cars badly
wrecked. Coaches were thrown from
the rails, but not badly damaged.
Engineer Chris Smith of the pas
senger train was the more seriously
injured. He has a broken leg and
internal injuries. He was taken to
his home in Montgomery City.

AT ITS CREST
100000 WATER DAMAGE AROUND
ALTON, ILL.
DECLINE HAS BEEN PREDICTED
Over Five Thousand Acres Inundated
On East Side of Mississippi
More Dams Break.

st. Louis, Mo.-The high water
at st. Louis is now at its crest with
a stage of 34.S feet, according to the
official forecast of the weather bureau
Friday. In the last "a hours there
was a rise of three-tenths of a DOT.
Above st. Louis the river will fall
slowly, the prediction says, but there
will be a further rise between st.
Louis and Chester.
At Alton there was no rise in the
last "a hours. The Missouri at st.
Charles rose two inches.
Comparison With 1903 Flood.
While the extent of the present flood
in the Mississippi river does not COM
pare with the food of 1903 around
Alton, a careful estimate of the dam
age done by the waters is almost as
great.
Those who are best informed as to
the situation there say the damage to
crops, farm lands, houses, boat prop
critics, ETC., will amount, this year., 10
1881, 900. In 1908 the damage was
estimated at $350,000 with a higher
stage of water by 5 feet. This is be,
cause the farmers in 1903 had not
planted so extensively as in 1908. The
year before they had a flood which,
while it was not so extensive as that
of the following year, frightened them.
There was no warning of a possible
rise this spring given by the river
last year.
At s o'clock Thursday night the
Henry Wageman levee on the Mis-
souri, shore, opposite Alton, broke. The
levee protected 1900 acres of farm
land belonging to Henry Wageman
Eli and Ellis Keene, Joab Watkins
Ernest and Edward Balster and Frank
Meyers.
In East st. Louis the situation Is
still one of danger, and hundreds Of
men are working hard to save such
of the bikes and entertainments in the
low sections as have not broken.

The Most Expensive Session.

Preliminary but approximately &C
curate statements made by both party
leaders in the house a few days before
adjournment show that the past ses
sion has beaten the record-breaking
first session of the last congress by
$780, 00, 900. The total of appropriations
for the next fiscal year will reach the
stupendous figure of $A023, 600, 900. In
a caustic speech Burton sf Ohio, a
strong administration man, criticized
the senate for this big increase in ex.
penditures and urged the house to
call a halt aon the usurpation of the
upper house by not yielding when ap.
preparations were swelled in that
body. Burleson of Texas, Democrat,
spoke in similar vein, but another
Democrat, Fitzgerald of New York,
said 1t was idle to lay the blame on
the senate when the house had the
power to reject any and all the addi-
tons If it saw fit. He reminded the
majority party that it would be held
responsible.

TARIFF AND TRUSTS
ISSUES OF GREAT MOMENT TO
THE VOTERS.
Democratic Party Stands squarely for
the Granting Of Relief to the
PIundered PeopIe-RePub-
licans Plan Evasion.

II Sc impossible to say now what
will be the paramount issue In the
mex: campaign. 1t is, however, quite
probable that the Republicans will try
end make some issue important on
purpose to prevent the voters from
thinking and voting on at least two is
sues that give them much trouble to
comt.Gt-namely, the trusts and the
tariff. AS far as the Democrats are
cLnterned, there a be no evasion of
these two issues, which are really one
issue. Tor they have to be considered
tcgether. The tariff which protects
the trusts and allows them to plumber
the PEOPLE is a question of dollars and
cents and expediency. The Repub'
Leans, having been forced to give up
their claim that the trusts do not
sell cheaper abroad than here, are
therefore now forced to admit that the
time will arrive after the next cleo
tion-that is when the congress that
will be elected in the fall of 1908
comes into power-when tariff revi,
sion must be considered. The Taft
Roosevelt faction of the Republican
party are telling the voters that the
Republican platform will declare for
tariff revision. The organ of the pro.
tective tariff league derides this pro-
posed tariff reform declaration and
calls the opposing faction free traders,
AS Republican platform promises were,
as we were assured by that high Re.
publican authority, the late Senator
Hanna, made to be broken, 1t is i'm.
possible to have much faith in future
promises, if it suits the party leaders
to ignore them. Voters, therefore,
who feel the pinch of high trust prices
and the enormous increase in the
cost of living will be chary of elect
ing a Republican to represent them in
congress, or a Republican president,
who although pledged by the platform
to favor tariff revision, at the same
time declares he stands for the doc
trine of protection. All the declara
tons of former Republican platforms
declare for protection as a funda
mental doctrine of the party, and even
those Republican congressman and
others who now say they favor revis
ing the tariff always qualify such re
marks by declaring at the same time
they believe in protection.
The Republican talk of free trade is
only to try to brighten fools, and sen
sible men laugh at such vaporings
Under our present system of taxation
we shall be compelled to pay tariff
taxes, as England does, for the pur
pose of raising revenue to support the
government.
The tariff question to be decided IL
how much the present rates shall be
reduced and how much tariff taxes
a be produced by proposed reduced
schedules, and whether the tariff thai
shelters trusts, which sell cheaper
abroad than here, shall be entirely
abolished or reduced to a revenue
basis? The voters cannot decide upoI
all details. If they want real tariff
reform, they must vote for Democratic
congressman. If they want to stand
pat they must elect Republicans.

Selfish interests.

The Springfield Republican, com.
menting on the Lilley investigation,
says: 1T has at least performed a
public service in openly demonstrating
the selfish interest that manufacturers
of material for the navy have in max,
ing the navy a permanent and a con.
stantly charging market for their
goods" An investigation of the
odious ship subsidy scheme, which was
30 narrowly defeated the other day in
the house, after it had passed the SEN
ate, would undoubtedly tend to con.
firm this theory. There are corrupt
interests behind both schemes.

SkIFF SAVED BY KAISER. .
Prevents Imperial Yacht CoIIiding
With Boat on River.

Berlin-The presence of mind
of Emperor William Monday saved
the lives of a skiff load of peo-
pie on the River Spree. The imperial
yacht Alexandra, with the Emperor
aboard, was threading its way along
the densely crowded river when a
skif, carrying several persons, at
tempted to cross her bow.
The Kaiser was the first to see the
danger which threatened the skiff and
he quickly telephoned the engine
room to have the engines reversed
and the yacht stopped.
The Alexandra slowed up just in
time to keep from running down the
skiff. Many people on the river
banks and in nearby boats cheered the
Kaiser uproarously.
