THE INAUGURATION,

On Thursday of this week Theo-
dore Roosevelt retired and William
H. Taft was inaugurated president Of
tine United States.
The daily papers are publishing
Roosevelt's exaugural and Taft's in
augural address, and devoting much
space to a review Of Roosevelt's seven
years reign and as much more
space to predictions as to the great
things the nation may expect from the
new regime.
We cannot resist the conviction that
if Roosevelt had retired four years
ago, his name and fame would be
much more renowned than the are to-
day. The people feel that no man
in the presidential chair ever made
more noise and buster, and accom-
plished so little as Theodore Roose-
welt did in the last four years.
In fact the only prominent feature
of his administration was the alb
normal development of the imperial
istic spirit-a spirit as Numerically
opposed to the American genius of
government as darkness is to daylight.
Of course we. do not overlook his
activity and energy displayed in per-
fecting the organization of the
"Ananais club" and enrolling as mem
bers thereof many Of the most dis
tinguished men of the nation. What
ever of credit attaches to this per-
Torrance is his by preemptive right.
It is also true that he posed as
the champion Of the rights Of the
people, but always from the stand
point of the dictator, and every one
knows that he arrogated to himself
the right to dictate the nomination
and election Of his successor, and
actually did so.
To be sure he made many SUCCESS
tions and recommendations bearing
upon questions Of grave Importance,
dHlOIlS "ulCu llldy we mentioned
babies and spelling reform; ana the
fact that mothers and photographers
gave no heed to mis- advice was no
fault Of his.
We sincerely hope that President
Taft's pledge to carry out my poll
cies'' will not cripple the efficiency
of his administration, and that he
will religiously endeavor to fulfill the
pledges made to the people in the
Republican national PLATFORM
Roosevelt was aggressive enough
but his overestimating of himself and
Understanding Of every one else,
created an antagonism that tnwarted
his every endeavor, and his name will
go down into history as the president
who was prompt and energetic in de-
claration but a lamentable failure in
execution.

THE iNiQUtToUs TARIFF.

The tariff issue is to liz fought out
tn the special session of congress that
is now expected to begin on March
IS. For the good Of the country it
IS to be hoped that it will be settled
within a month; but the session IS
more likely to last until 1lliIid=suii1I11i1er
The refornlers will undoubtedly try
their best to secure quick action be-
cause it II now conceded that there
is no hope FOR the return OF prosper
ity Until after the tariff Question mas
been settled, but the sta1rdpatters,
supported by the trusts, will make
desperate efforts to preserve their
special privileges and the result will
probably be a com promise without any
material reduction In duties.

SPENDING THE PEOPLES BILLION

The annual appropriations at the
session OF congress just closing will
exceed a billion dollars!
This money Is raised by taxation.
The burden is placed mainly upon the
necessities Of life. It is added to the
price of what the people consume. It
Is borne mainly by those least able
to bear 1.-THE poor; because they are
the most numerous and therefore
consume most.
These appropriations are made by
congress under con ditions. and by a
system, that precludes any consider
able number of the peoples repre-
sentatives in either branch from par
ticipating in their consideration and
even from knowing very much about
them.
In the house, legislative considera-
ton of these bills, aside from the
committees that put them together, II

ments offered by the quick and certain

The bills come from the house to

session and are there referred to the
committees. They are held III the

Cities Should Advertise.

Davenport Democrat: A city is a
corporation doing business for the peo-
pie. 1t differs in this respect not in
being corporation, but in having no
favorites But cities have the same
right to grow and give the people the
advantage of increase that private cor
porations have to declare dividends
to their stockholders. Cities buy and
sell; they even employ labor; and they
advertise. 1t is required that ordin-
ances be published, sometimes before,
sometimes after adoption.
In st. Louis body of business men
organized to promote the g'owth of
the town are about to ask the city
council to appropriate 100000 for
an advertising campaign. They be-
lieve that means would produce re-
suits, and there is no doubt about it.
Street car lines, gas companies, rail-
roads, pillow factories, and a thousand
other business houses have demon
strated that advertising brings new
business. The st. Louie progressives

Using man for the specific purpose
of setting forth to the world the ad-
vantages of that place for manufac-
turing, for residence, and so on. The
idea, so far as it has been formulated,
is to use one-half the 100000 in the
local newspapers; the other nalf in
the magazines and on the billboards
The weakest part of this program is
the proposal to disfgure some city
with signs after the manner of the
circus men.
The advertising man Is to do more
than this. He is to write letters
here, there, and everywhere; fill the
travelling men full of st. Louis, fur
nish them with buttons to wear as a
slogan of the city He is to have
stickers made and clap there on
boxes and lamp posts and do all the
other things, new and old, that have
a tendency to attract attention
