the Aldrich bill Senator Burton has
tened home to square himself with his
constituents. His betrayal of those
who had implicit confidence in HIN
was such u shock that he may never
be able TO win them to him again.
The Indian medicine mans philos-
Cphy had one inheXible rule-"if
you fool me once that is your faul;
If you fool me again that is my fault"
The Indian was seldm fooled twice
by the same individual. If the pale
face Is more gullible IL is because he
wants to be or doesn't know any bet
ter. If Mr.. Burton fools the people
of Ohio again 1t will be because they
give him opportunity.
Senator Burton found everything all
mussed up in his political wigwam.
Even his home organ, the Cleveland
Leader. which beat the tom-tom for
him when he led his braves against
the Taft warriors, did not hesitate
to denounce his vote for the Aldrichi
tariff.
BY way of apology Mr.. Burton adj
mlts that some of the provisions of
the bill as 1t passed the senate were
unsatisfactory to him, but that does
not save him. He was not obliged TO
vote for the things he did not want
merely to get the things he wanted.
Beveridge didn't, neither did LaFol-
lette nor the eight other Republican
senators who voted no. Portals argu-
ment to the duke--to do a great right,
do little wrong-was almost COM
pletely reversed by Burton, whose
vote sgnified that he was willing 10
do great wrong to do little right.
For Senator LaFollette ho figured 1t
out that, after allowing for all reduc-
tions, the rates of the Aldrich bill
as passed showed q net increase over
the Dingley tariff. which made 1t re-
vision upward instead of revision
downward
There II stands, Burtons vote be-
side Dicks vote for the bill, and Bur.
ton cannot explain IL away. No mat
ter what may be the ultimate re-
suit of the cutting and trimming of
the conference committee, Burton is
committed by his vote for the Aldrich
bill before II went to confer snce. He
cannot rub it out. 1T is written into
his record as indelible as the lnscrip-
tions carved on Grants tomb.
Ohio voters who have had their eyes
opened by this betrayal. will say "you
fooled us once, Mr.. Burton, that's your
fault; IL you fool us aga n II viii be
our fault"

We are being told that the Repuh-
lican majority of the Ohio legislature
will endeavor to devise a constructive
policy at the legislative reuni)u next
month.
Inasmuch as this same section of
the legislature maintained on OBJ
structive policy throughout the special
session this YEAR. there is good cause
for believing that any kind OF CON
structive policy" formulated on that
side for the regular session next year
Will turn out eventually q destructive
policy like the obstructive policy OF
the special session. The people will
have their turn next year, when they
go about cleaning out the state house
with the determination to make 1. e.
Harmon and clean sweep next
time."

TALLY Built Highways.
If YOU were to try to find the most
substantially built road In New Eng
land 1t would not In all probability be
necessary to go farther than Acton
Center, Mass. to locate the one which
would take first premium for solidity.
Just beyond the town was con-
siderable hill. but there Is not as much
of q climb there now as formerly, for
1t has been cut down very perceptlbly.
The old condition was far from
pleasing to Augustus Conant. who
lives but short distance from the
foot of the hill. He informed the
town that If the hill could be cut down
and slightly relocated he would put
in the necessary foundation for a
first class road. the town TO put ON
the finishing touches, and his propo-
sition was readily accepted by the
voters.
For the new basis of the new high
way Mr.. Conant had carted to the spot
many loads of field stones and innu-
merable powders. large and small.
Some of them weighed several tons.
and it is asserted that there il not In
all probability another road IN the
United States which can boast of such
q foundation as the one which was
constructed to the liking Of the towns
benefactor. In some parts OF the road
it has solid stone foundation of sew
