Time to Change Leaders.

when political parties come to be badly
led, when their leaders lose touch with
the people. when their object ceases to
be everybody's welfare and becomes
somebody's profit. IL is time to change
the leaders. One of the most significant
facts of the time is that the professional
politicians appear to be wholly unaware
OF the great moral change which has
come over political thinking in the last
decade They fail to see that the polit-
ical dogmas, the political slogans and
the political methods of the past genera
ton have lost their power, and that our
people have come at last to Judge of
politics by the eternal rules Of right and
wrong.
"A new life is stirring among the dry
bones of formal platforms and artificial
issues. Morality has broken into politics.
Political leaders, trust-bred and trust
fed. find IL harder and harder to conceal
their actual character. The brass-bound
collar of privilege has become plain upon
their necks for all men to see. They
are known for what they are, and their
time is short. But when they come to
be retired 1t will be of little use to re-
place an unfaithful public servant who
wears the collar by another public servant
with the same collar around his neck
Above all, what we need in every office
Is free men representing free people.
"The motto in every primary-in every
election-shoule be this: No watchdogs
of the interests need apply
THE old order, standing pat in dull
misunderstanding of the great forward
sweep of a nation determined on honesty
and publicity in public affairs, is already
wearing thin under the ceaseless hammer.
ing of the progressive onset. The demand
OF the people for political progress will
not be denied. Does any man, not blind
ed by personal interest or by the dust OF
political dry rot. suppose that the bulk OF
our people are anything else but progress

The tariff fight Of the special session
of Congress last summer was fought over
again in the Senate yesterday afternoon.
And the end Of the fighting is not yet. for
Senator Dolliver has announced that he
has some observations to make upon the
Payne-Aldrich bill Monday. and others
desire to speak.
The pretext for the discussion was the
motion OF Senator Clay to strike out Of
the sundry civil bill the appropriation of
$50, 600 to authorize the President to ap-
point a board to investigate the cost Of
production at home and abroad.
Il want this investigation to show the
American people how groundless are the
charges against the taraiff law" declared
Senator Aldrich, who is credited with
having a very potent influence in fixing
the schedules of the law. so far as 1
am concerned the inquiry cannot be too
wide. Its results will justify the votes
for the tariff, which has been widely
characterized as the best ever passed by

80 per cent OF the people opposed that
principle.
Beveridge Defends Claim.
Referring to Mr.. Aldrich's mention ~
the provision OF last sessions bill
authorizing the use of experts in
gathering information. Mr.. Beveridge
stated that he had made no misstate-
ment as to its origin. He then went
into details involving his own efforts
in the past to obtain a tariff commission
and also gave his version OF the forma.
ton of the provision in question.
Replying, Mr. Aldrich adhered to his
contention that the provision had been
drawn without consulting Mr.. Beveridge.
Mr.. Beveridge then held TO his Yer.
sion of the matter and went BACK
to his original declaration that the
provision had resulted from the agita-
ton for tariff commission in which
he had taken conspicuous part. he
contended also that the authority
which it now is intended to give will
prove more inclusive than had been
contemplated.

Referring to the controversy between
Mr. Aldrich and Mr.. Beverage. Mr.. CAL

the other who was making foot ball
of 1t he would prefer to follow the
former. He read figures TO show that
the customs receipts have increased
under the present law. He hoped the
law would continue in the records for
a long time to come.
Mr.. Clapp supported the pending pro-
vision as an entering wedge in the In

s25O,00O to the President for tariff In
vestigation. Mr.. Hepburn failed to see
any approach to a tariff commission in
it. He expressed the hope that the
present tariff would not be changed for
seven years. and when Mr.. Cupmins
asked why seven years. he replied
that it was IA biblical period" He
hoped at least that 1t would not be
destroyed by the sappers and miners"
who would undermine it.

Dispute Over Authorship.

Senator Aldrich was frequently drawn
into the discussion, and Senator Gallinger
came valiantly to the defense Of the rev.
enue law. When Senator Aldrich claimed
the authorship Of the tariff board pro-
vision In the law Senator Beveridge rose
to dispute him and a lively colloquy be-
tween the regular and the insurgent was
enjoyed by the Senate.
Senator'S Clay and Bailey from the DEM
ocratic side tainted those on the opposite
side Of the chamber. charging that the
provision in the sundry civil bill was
simply a political expedient to coax the
insurgents into the republican fold and
to bridge over a republican crisis.
Nor was the debate, which continued
for five hours, without its lighter mo-
ments. When Senator Bailey referred to
the action of the Indiana state conven-
ton in denouncing the tariff, Senator
Johnson rose as il he remembered the
statement credited to Senator Beverage
that at the convention the Indiana sena-
tor had kicked the stomach off the tar
if bill" Senator Johnson credited Mr.
Beverage with saying that he had dis
turbed the epidermis in the abdominal

who accosted her as she was passing
along East Seventeenth avenue be-

AS Miss Hanson stepped across the
alley at the rear of the Central Pres

years old stepped out of the darkness
of the alley and snatched her pocket
book, large purse which she was car
rying in her hand.
A struggle eusued with the young

The services at the mother church were

turning up his coat so that only his
eyes and hair were visible. He has

No one else was near and the boy es-
capped into the alley. The police were
notified but no results had been report
up to Wednesday night. While on her
way home, Miss Hanson stopped at
the safety deposit vaults at fifteenth

Upon reaching Lincoln street, a
block and a half before the attack by
the boy took place, Miss Hanson stop

following her to get ahead. She wait

is undecided whether or not the man
may have had something to do with the
attempt to rob her. She was none the

NEW DESIGN
FOR u. S. FLAG
is BEING URGED
Senator Hughes Il Asked to
Support Plan For Star of
Stars In Row

Senator Charles j.. Hughes. Jr. has
received from Alfred Beirly of Chicago
petition asking the Senator to lend
his aid to a movement to secure in con-
gress the adoption of new design for
the American flag. Berry would leave
the stripes as they are, but he thinks
the field of stars should be changed.
In the center of the field of blue he
would have small circle of red, which
would give recognition to the colonial
and insular possessions of the United
S tates. Such an act, he says. would
INSPIRE the millions of inhabitants of
these countries with truer patriotism
and deeper devotion toward the nation" "
Instead of having the stars arranged
in parallel lines, Mr.. Beirly thinks they
ought to be fashioned into six pointed
star which would have the small circle
of red as center The star would
embrace twenty three stars. The rem
aiming twenty-five Counting Arizona,
and New Mexico) would be arranged in
a,circle having the center of the red cir
Gle as center. BY this change, Mr..
Bierly says, thestars would be changed
for the first time from strait lines into
imposing figures, thereby adding to the
banner more attractivenes and luster.

to every other member of congress.

Thou Shalt Not Steal

it was then, and should be regarded

care, lest they unintentionally violate
this righteous command. To illustrate:
