AIdrich's Right to Rule.
lIaFollette's weekly.1

Well, who gives Mr.. Aldrich his COM
mission to rule?
He is senator from the smallest state
in the union in point Of territory, and
from any viewpoint, except Mr. Aid
rich's influence in government, which
alone makes it pre- eminent. Ex-Gov-
ernor Garvin, of Rhode Island, has held
UP that state to contempt as one in
which the electorate is corrupted by
money, and in a large measure pur-
chased and purchaseable. The Aldrich
rule, therefore is the output of a small
community in which money power de-
termines its representation in the SEN
ate.
Il is true Lycurgus, the great law
giver. came from a state quite as
small. 1t is true Mr.. Pitt Influenced the
" Grid by mis- craftsmanship when Eng
land openly ruled thru purchase of
votes for parliament. But Lycurgus
was great thru his genius Mr.. Aldrich
is not a man of genius as law giver
He is great not thru his personality,
but thru the power back Of him, great
er than himself. MIR. AIdrich is not a
Pitt. His potent influence as the in
strument Of certain powerful forces
does not constitute constructive states
manship.
Mr.. Aldrich. is connected most d.
rectly in personal and family and
business ways with the Standard Oil
group. When all is said, his commits
sion to rule comes from railways, trust
companies, insurance companies, and
the great monopolies and conbina lions
which Standard Oil owns and con-
trolls.
But Mr.. Aldrichs commission to rule
would be void if it were not for the &C
quiescence of the people of the United
States in his rule. He rules as the
Review of Review suggests. But the
scepter would fall from his hand II
the people living in other states than
Rhode Island would awake and drive
from public life the senator's who bow
to his leadership.
The rule Of MI Aldrich may or may
not be a disgrace to Rhode Island. Let
Rhode Island look to that. But for the
senators of other states In which the
people are supposed to rule, to bow te
the Aldrich power and accept the AID
rich dictation, should be the signal FOL
such an uprising of the voters in those
states as shall forever put an end tc
the Aldrich rule in the United States

support that rulership.

ANOTHER MERIT OF THE RECALL
[Sioux City Tribunel
In Illinois, state and county officers
the most of them, are elected for four
years. In Iowa the practice is to elect
for two. 1t has been proposed at times,
somewhat tentatively, to make the Iowa
practice conform to that of Illinois, but
on the claim that the Iowa practice
makes for greater efficiency and hon
esty of service, the proposal has
always been vigorously opposed. The
contention of those opposing it is that
when a public officers acts must come
frequently before the voters for review
he is more likely to render faithful
service and to keep in mind his depend
ence upon the public's favor.
Advocates of the Illinois practice be-
lieve that there can be too much use
made of the ballot box Elections are
expensive and unless they serve good
purpose are needless. Long service of
itself tends to promote efficiency. Why
multiply elections if the advantages
claimed for frequent holding of cleo
tons can be otherwise secured? But
can they be secured otherwise? The
answer is that they can be, and by
the recall. There can be no danger
existing in the long term for any public
officeE If string be tied to it having
it's free end in the public's hands. Pro-
viding sure means for getting rid of
worthless, or dishonest, or in any way
,,nfaithful public officers, takes away
the argument for short terms and for
frequent elections with their heavy ex-
pense and tax upon the time and
patience. Thus we have offered in the
recall the means to secure economical
as we'll as honest government

HEAVY MARKETING OF CATTLE,

Not in many years has the general

been this fall. There has beena broad

tically all grades, and with very fair
receipts at all points the offerings
have been we'll cleaned UP right along
and there has been no indication of q
glut at any time. This is all very
we'll as far as it goes, but what of
the future? On account of the at
tractive prices the country is being
raked and scraped for stock cattle
and they are being sacrificed at an
unprecedented rate. Cows and calves
are being sent to market even more
mature animals. Farmers are ship
ping off everything possible in order
to economic on corn and the big
breeding ranches of the west are sell
ing their she stuff in order to cut
down their herds. Where is it al
going to end? Where is the beef OF
the future to come from? The coun
try should stop and consider tn ese
questions before it is too late. This
indiscriminate slaughter OF the in
nocents' must cease. or inside of five
years the Christmas roast will bear a
foreign label and South America will
be supplying the wants of the beef
