Mr.. Mott said he regarded as hignif-

had visited Fletcher Snead, the long
missing husband Of Ocey Snead, dur
ing the latter's voluntary exile in ST

Up to the time Snead's whereabouts

Hence the grand young man" from In

figure just how he can make every one
happy with a piece of federal pOstOffice
pie. 1t is up TO him to make the recon-

it, for the office seeker knows it.
Another rock in the senatorial roadway
Is the impression created by BeveTidge,
when the tariff bill was under cOnsid era
ton in the senate last summer. that his
opposition to the measure reflected the
wishes of the President This impression
did not last long, for when the President
started on his Swing around the circle
he did not hesitate to inform the people
that the tariff bill was the best ever If
1t were not for the 200 presidential post
masterships that must be distributed by
the senior Indiana senator before he
comes up for reelection he might have
clear sailing, but as it is he finds himself
in troUblous waters with no lighthouse in
sight If ne is defeated, which now seems
probable, it viii be due to too much

HOOSIER SENATOR
SEES ROCKS AHEAD
Beveridge Now the Principal
Dispenser of Federal Pa
tronage in Indiana.
MAY WORK HIS UNDOlNG
"cRAND YOUNG MAN" A cANpI-
DATE FOR REELECTION.
~ RODERICK CLIFFORD.

Washington, Dee. Ex-senator Albert j.
Beveridge Of Indiana. sometimes called
the grand young man from Hoosier
state" is a busy man these days. He IS
the dispenser Of patronage in eleven con
gressiOnal districts by reason Of the fact
that the districts are represented in the
house by Democrats.
1t is this big chunk Of federal pie that
is giving the senior senator from the
banks of the Wabash a touch of political
dyspepsia. He is anxious to succeed him
self in the senate, and next year the peo-
pie of the HOOsier state are TO pass upon
the question.
In many states the distribution Of pat
ronage is a source Of strength, but there
are numerous cases on record where II
has been the undOing of the dispenser.
Report mas it that Senator Beveridge has
200 presidential pOstm asterships in the
eleven districts, to fill. In other words
for the 200 offices there are at least 800
applicants, and it is no eXaggeratiOn to
say that, as q general proposition, for
every one pleased there will be at least
five disgruntled ones.

Blame Put on Sneaker.

Several of the older members of the
house were recently discussing the fight
being made by the insurgents, when one
Of them said IF the people really
understood the situation, they would
have a different opinion Of the speaker:
do not mean Cannon personally, but the
office of speaker. Tt is true that the
power of recognition lodged in the
speaker is many times abused, but, new
ertheless, it has saved members from GO
ing on record when by so doing they
would have jeopardized their political
fortunes
The best illustration that this is true
IS given by glance at the Congressional
Recohrd showing the bills introduced in
ten house
You will find there that members who
preach economy and reform, and who
protest against ali forms of paternalism
are the authors Of measures. many OF
which, no doubt, have been introduced at
the request OF their constituents and that
involve millions Of dollars, The member
VINO fathers these measures would not
vote Tor them, but he knows they stand
no chance. under the rules. so he tells
MS constituents that failure to pass the
Dill was because the speaker would not
give him recognition.
Thus it viii be seen that the speaker
IS sometimes uniustiy criticised. Per
maps the insurgents are sincere I'm their

Diaz at the Rio Grantle

In asking the Mexican congress for
permission to leave inc Mexican soil
so that he may meet President Taft N
Texas, President Diaz is restrained py
a punctilious regard for the law, says
the New York World. All the pro-
pIieties attaching to his office are 10
be relisiously observed The Rio
Grande is not an impossible stream.
A reasonably safe bridge spans it At
Ell Paso, but as an international boun-
dairy the river presents a geographical
obstacle TO the freedom of action Of
even so masterful ruler as Don Por-
firio Diaz
While today President Diaz hest
tates at the bank OF the Rio Grande, 4
quarter of century ago he crossed
the Rubicon without stopping for
imaginary difficulties. He proposed t"
succeed himself as president. and the
constitution OF Mexico provided that
no man should hold the Office for two
consecutive terms. So after he had
been reelected he had the constitution
changed. AS a result he has kept on
being president ever since. OF course,
in 1884 he had TO decide whether h
should be continuous president.
where as now it is only a matter of
shaking hands with a neighborin2
president the other side of theoreti-
cal line. Being a statesman. of course
the gravity of the situation determines
the measure of the respect to be shown
for laws and constitutions.
AS a matter of form no doubt the
Mexican congress will give its consent
TO President DiaZ's plans. The ex-
change of courtesies. the international
ceremonies Oct. 16, will form a pleas
ant occasion, and law and custom on
both sides will suffer no breach 4
only Mr.. Taft does not overstep the

Too Many Laws.

1t is the veriest kind of platitudc
to say that law is necessary for the
Preservation of society That is in the
primer of political economy, and is
universally known. What is not so
generally recognized. however. espe-
eially among the legislators of the
country, is that too much attempted
regulation may be almost as bad as
none at all.
The legislature of Missouri has been
sitting. and it had added 400 new TO
strictions to the statute books, in ad
dition to the hundreds of laws alread!
on them. The Missouri case is only
one of &c. Every legislature spends
much of its time in piling up fresl
commands for the people to obey
Then there are the laws made by cite!
and towns and by congress.
To a large extent the business
lawmaking is ridiculous. If one-hai
of the statutes existing throughout tn,
United States were rigidly enforced
ii is pretty safe TO say that the peop,'
not in jail or not involved in litiga
ton would form a minority of tn
population. UnquestionabIy one }
the potent causes for lawlessness il
this country is too much law.
