Who Pays for It2

If an officer Of the government met
each workman and other toiler Of the
land night by night as he returned home
and demanded and obtained a good per
cent Of each days wage or salary and
said, This is for batteships and armies
and for expenses connected with past
wars" and the citizen thus held up night
after night, looked at last squarely into
the eyes Of the fact that II per cent Of
all the national income was going year
after year for this purpose, it may be he
would some day wonder if it paid this
land, unthreatened by war, and at peace
with all the world, to leave itself only
29 per cent Of its income for all other
government expenses, improvements,
public buildings, etc. What a fool a
man would be who spent even twenty
FIVE cents out Of every dollar he earned
for revolvers and rifles and ammunition
to defend himself from his next door
neighbor. his neighbor doing the same
thing, when all the while they could, if
they would, agree to settle all their dlttl-
culties before a competent court. Well
that's what we are doing as a nation.
Robbing ourselves Of hundreds Of millions
Of dollars that might be used to make
our cities and towns more beautiful and
healthful that we may build great battle
ships costing from ten to eighteen million
dollars apiece, one Of which each year
grows out Of date and goes to the junk
heap. Some day we shall learn wisdom.
Meanwhile. under the leadership Of man
ufacturers Of the materials out Of
which gunboats are made and the officers
et powder trusts, and men whose trade
is war, we are acting like Stupid children

crafty leader who knows how to make
them serve his own personal ends.-Our

What Hodges Says

In his speech at Hutchinson not long
ago Senator Hodges sized up the Re
publican situation in Kansas in the follow
ing manner: The republican party of
Kansas has 10000 majority. Their
two candidates for governor are suppos-
edly being backed by two factions; one
candidate is a millionaire and the other
is being backed by miionaires. These
two factions claim to be standing for the
same things but the senator goes on to
say, "The Republican party as a party
is united and its leaders in this state stand
for exactly the same things. IF MIR.
Taft were a candidate tomorrow,
would The two candidates for governor
on the republican ticket vote for him?
You know they would. The difference
in their contentious is a personal one
merely striving for leadership-the pre-
liminary skirmish for the coming senatorial
fight. The square deal faction is en-
deavoring to win enough democratic
support to pave its way over dangerous
ground, and guide it on the high way to
the personal political preferment Of its
leaders. They have no use for demo-
crat except to use him and then to throw
him aside. The utterances Of Mr. White
were bolder than we expected-particu-
larly at this time"
with this condition confronting the
Democrats Of Kansas they have about
10000 majority and it is not necessary for
a democrat to vote with either faction
Of the republican party. The future oI
our party in this state is traught with a
subtle danger. You are Importuned tc
support the square deal side of faction

political opponents and at the moment ol
their opportunities their principal leader
tells you that as party you are more
unholy and less worthy Of trust thar

1t is noticeable that those republican

havagance.

A brief de6niiii00i, Of "Cannonism" has
been asked for. Cannonism means that
when the interests Of the common people
and the interests Of the steel trust, the
lumber trust, the harvester trust and the
combination Of New England cotton
manufacturers come into conflict, the latter
get the legislation they want and the peo-
pie are forced to take that which they
do not want. The Payne-Aldrich law
Is good illustration. The people said:
We want downward revision Of the
tariff in order that the coa Of living may
be lessened." The corporate interest.
said: We want upward revision in or
der that our profits may increase" The
people were disappointed, and the cam
paign contributing tariff trusts were obey

Here is chance for President Taft to
make good his words. The New York
World says: 1t is fair challenge that
Champ Clark. the democratic leader Of
the house. filings at Mr.. Taft. The Presi-
dent has admitted in his speeches that the
tariff on wooden goods should be reduced
Very well, says the leader Of the minor
ity; send special message to congress
demanding a reduction in the woolen
schedule, and if Chairman Payne will
report the bill the democrats will Offer
no amendments. That is a fair propo-
adon. 1t disposes Of the plea that the
excesses Of the Payne-Aldrich bill can
not be corrected without opening up the
whole question Of tariff revision again
The woolen schedule which Mr.. Taf
himself refuses to defend can be revised
downward without touching another
rate in the tariff act. II MIR. Taft is wis,
