In | er memoirs Nine. de BO1gne
gives some interesting glimpses Of Eng
lish social life. For instance, she
writes:
"In 1916 no young English lady ven
tured to waltz. The Duke Of Devon
shire returned from tour in Germany
and observed one evening at large
ball that a woman was never seen to
better advantage than when waltzing.
I do not know whether he was anx-
ious to play a trick, but he repeated
this assertion several times. 1t was
passed from mouth to mouth, and at
the next ball all the young ladies were
waltzing. The duke admired them
greatly. said that it was delightful and
gave proper animation to a ball. he
then added carelessly that he, 1T any
rate. had decided never to marry a
lady who waltzed. 1t was to the
Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton
House that he saw fit to make this
revelation. The poor duchess, the most
clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near
ly fell off her chair with horror. She
repeated the statement to her neigh
bors, who passed it on, and consterna-
ton spread from seat to seat. The
Young ladies continued to waltz with
clear consciences. The old ladies were
furious. but the unfortunate dance was
concluded. Before the end of the even
ing the good Duchess Of Richmond
was able to announce that her daugh-
ters felt an objection to waltzing
which no persuasion of hers could ever
overcome. Some few girls Of more in
dependence continued to waltz, but the
majority gave it up"

dent himself. Congressman Cooper of
Wisconsin, representing the La Toilette
men, brought in a minority report signed
by himself alone. Fifty-two members of
the committee signed the majority report,
and one signed the minority report. The
Republican party will find the ratio Of
fifty-two to one a very embarrassing one
to deal with in the coming campaign. Mr.
Cooper's report contained a declaration
in favor of publicity as to campaign
funds. 1t was lost by vote of $50 to
"a, more than nine to one, and yet the
President has been advocating legislation
in favor Of publicity as to campaign con-
tributions, and Secretary Taft wrote a
letter to Mr.. Burrows advocating the pas
sage of a publicity bill. How fortunate
it was that Secretary Taft's letter was
finally discovered and published! Sena-
tor Burrows, the man to whom the Taft
letter was addressed, was the temporary
chairman of the convention, and the con-
vention over which he presided turned
down the publicity plank by vote Of nine
to one! Who will deny that, on this sub
ject, the Republican party is retreating?
Another plank of the La Toilette plat
form authorized the ascertaining of tao
value of the railroads. This plank was
lost by vote of CIT to 63-nearly fifteen
to one-and yet President Roosevelt has
advocated this very proposition. Here is
a retreat on the railroad question.
In another column reference is made to
the Injunction plank. The injunction
plank adopted by the Republican conven-
ton is retreat from the position taken
by the President and from the position
taken by Secretary Taft in his speeches,
although neither of them went as far as
they ought to have gone in their effort to
prevent what is known as government by
injunction. Here is the third retreat
The President has advocated the in
come tax as a means Of preventing swol-
len fortunes and of equalizing the burdens
of government. The Republican platform
is silent on the subject. Was the Presi-
dent right in the position he took? IL so,
then the convention was wrong in not
endorsing him. Will the Republican vot-
ers follow the President in this just de-
mand or will they follow the Republican
organization in retreating from it?
The President advocated an inheritance
tax, but the Republican convention is 81

vote contrary to the sentiment of those
who elected him-why are the people de-
MED the right to select Senators by d.
rect vote? There is one reason, and only
one-the United States Senate to-day Is
the bulwark of predatory wealth; favor
seeking corporations have made it a de-
pository of their power and they close
the door to reform. Every remedial law
must have the sanction of the Senate as
well as the approval of the House and
the President. So long as the exploiting
interests can control the Senate, they can
hold the people at bay, and this il why
the Republican convention insolently
thwarted the purpose of those Republicans
who sympathize with the desire of the
people in their demand for relief from
present conditions. Surely the rank and
file of the Republican party will express
their indignation at this open and obvi-
Gus distrust of the people. The Republi-
can party has added to it's many sins this
objectionable one, that it is
AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE.
What an indictment the voters can
bring against the Republican party this
year!

AFRAID OF THE LIGHT!

bled, pleads guilty to the Indictment

an excuse can not be offered for a law
applying to future contributions and dis
bursements. 1t Is not necessary that
small contributions shall be made public,
and to make these public might subject
the giver to injustice if, for instance, the
giver was an employee and opposed to his
employer. The same argument that is
made in favor of the secret ballot could
be made in favor of secrecy as to small
contributions, bit this argument will not
apply to large contributions. 1t man
gives largely, the public has right to
know whether the gift measures general
interest in the public, or is part of an
implied contract whereby return is to
be secured in legislation or in immunity.
No corporation of any kind should be al
lowed to contribute to campaign fund,
for corporations are not organized for po-
litical purposes. and individual contribu-
tions above reasonable minimum should
be open to inspection in order that the
voters may be made acquainted with the
influences which are at work IN the cam
paign Why did the Republican conVen-
ton turn down this plank by sucn an
overwhelming vote when the President
had asked for publicity legislation and the
Republican candidate for President had
put himself on record in favor OF such
legislation? And how fortunate it is chat
Mr.. Taft's letter to Senator Burrows was
brought to the attention of the public
If it had not appeared before the conven-
ton it would have been difficult to find
after the convention. There can be but
one explanation Of the actic2 OF the Re

The intention Of those in charge OF the
Republican party to secure campaign
funds from sources which they dare not
disclose. They are
AFRAID OF THE LIGHT.
But a still more remarkable manifesto
tion of fear is to be found in the vote
of $3.50 to 114-7 to by which they
turned down the proposition to elect Unit
ed States Senators by direct vote OF the
people. What does this mean? Simply
that the Republican leaders distrust popu-
lar government We elect our Congress
men by the people; we elect our Govern
ors and State officers by the people; we
elect our President and Vice President by
the people. If the electors have no DIS
cretion-and no elector would dare to

lent on that subject. Was the President
ahead Of the Republican party in advo-
eating this reform, or has the Republican
party receded from the Presidents posi-
ton? Did the President give a false
alarm on this question or has the party
sounded a retreat?
In the Presidents message to Congress
last spring he presented an indictment
against the conspiracy formed among the
great lawbreakers to prevent the enforce
ment Of the law and to evade the punish
ments provided by law The platform
adopted by the Republican convention
contains no 'intimation of danger. If
there are any conspiracies, the convention
did not see them; If there are any COM
binations, it had not heard of them; if
there are any dangers ahead, 1t was I'M
conscious of them. Was the President
mistaken when he issued his defiance, or
are the Republican managers deceived
when they think chat an aroused public
will calmly contemplate the encroach-
ments of predatory wealth? This is re-
treat number six.
The convention, by vote Of S66 to Id
more than seven to one-voted down the
plank in favor of the popular election of
United States Senators. 1t is true that
the President and Secretary Taft have
never advocated the popular election of
Senators. They seem to take the Hamil-
tonian rather than the Jeffersonian view,
but the most popular reform in the Unit
ed States to-day is the reform that has
for it's object the election of United States
Senators by direct vote. 1t has five times
been endorsed by the national House of
Observation-Disclosures times when the
House of Representatives was Republi-
can. 1t has been endorsed by nearly two
thirds of the States of the Union, and
there is probably not State in the
Union in which it would not be endorsed
at a popular election, and yet in spite Of
the record made in the House Of Repre-
sentatives and by the various States, this
reform is rejected by seven-to-one vote
in Republican national convention.
Here are seven propositions upon which
the Republican party, in national conven-
ton assembled, has retreated from the po-
sition taken by that party in Congress or
from the position taken by the President.

A Political Party Afraid.


If the mental attitude of the Republi-
can party can be judged by the action Of
the convention, it has taken counsel Of
its fears.
In rejecting, by vote of CIT to 63-near-
ly Is to THE plank providing for the
physical valuation of railroads, the Re-
publican party admits that it is afraid Of
the truth. What objection can there be
to finding out what the railroads are
actually worth? If they are over-capital-
lied, the country ought to know it; If they
are not over-capitahzed, the railroads
themselves ought to be glad to have the
fact announced. So long as the truth is
concealed, there will be exaggeration on
both sides-those who lean to the side Of
the railroads denying that there is over
capitalization, and those who demand rate
reduction insisting that the over-capital-
ization is considerable. We ought to
know the truth. But the Republican par
ty shows by the action which the conven-
ton took that it is
AFRAID OF THE TRUTH.
The timidity of the Republican leaders
was even more emphasized in the vote Of
$50 to 94-9 to rejecting the plank
providing for publicity as to campaign
contributions and expenditures. They are
even afraid of the light, for publicity
would throw light upon politics. Elec-
tions are public affairs and they ought to
be conducted in public way. Secrecy as
to campaign methods and as to the influ-
ences which affect elections is indefensi-
BILE. If the demand was for the publica-
ton of past contributions and expendi-
lures, the Republican convention might
have offered as an excuse that contribu-
tons made and money expended without
expectation of publicity could not be
made public without some embarrassment
to those giving and receiving but such

The President has awakened a spirit of
reform within his party, he has at least
revealed to the world that there are re-
formers in the Republican party. Can
that spirit now be quelled by a stand-pat
convention? Millions of Republicans have
enlisted at the Presidents call to arms
and are ready to march forward; will
they furl their banners and turn back
merely because the President acquiesces
in the sounding of a retreat?

tAnswer by Forester Geo. l.. Cloth
Ter. Agricultural College, Missis-
sippi)
The best season to cut sweet-gum
or other sprouts that take possession
OF cleared land Is June and July. A
good plan is to girdle the young
trees about four feet from the
ground. letting the trees stand two
or three months. The peeling
should be done in May. This will
cut OF the supply OF prepared food
that Is passing from the leaves to
the roots: and will starve the roots
thus weakening them. II some
sprouts persist. repeat the treatment
the second year.
