The Same Old Roosevelt.

"He Is the same old Bryan" ex-
claimed the people Of the United States
after the Peerless Leader had landed
in New York and made his government
control speech after his tour Of the
world. He is the same old Roose-
velt," observed the people, or they
must have observed 1t. when they read
the FIRST speech delivered by the former
president on emerging from the Afri-
can jungles.
But the spirit behind the expression
is different. In the case Of Bryan it
was the spirit Of disappointment, in
the case Of Roosevelt It is the spirit
Of satisfaction. The people Of the
United states, who learned to admire
Theodore Roosevelt, do not want him
to change. Regardless Of politics and
parties, they like him as he is. They
like the virile, vigorous, daring man
hood that he exemplifes. They like
his bold contempt for obsolete prece-
dent And that is why, when they read
that speech he made in Cairo that up
set half of Egypt and England, they
cheered the same old Roosevelt"
They we're glad enough to know that
tanning lions was not a dispiriting or
enervating pastime. They were not
specially interested in the issues of
Egyptian politics, into which Mr..
Roosevelt plunged with such telling
effect, but they were interested in
knowing that the dominant spirit OF
Roosevelt had lost none Of its power.
Few men in the high position Theo-
dore Roosevelt occupies would have
thought Of making such a speech as
he made at the University of Cairo.
Yet when did Roosevelt pause for ira
dition? That has been the one dis
tinguishing element of his character
his utter disregard for mere custom.
Once in a while the world needs to be
ruthlessly disturbed, and precedent
can very often be sacrificed for origi-
nality. Roosevelt is always doing the
unexpected, but after he has acted and
the world has had time to recover
from the shock and give to his deed
the same thought that he manifestly
gave to 1t beforehand, it has COM
manded universal admiration, If not
unqualified approval.

West Teaching the East.

Western railroads have succeeded in
teaching some Of the larger eastern
lines the valuable lesson that co-opera-
ton of transportation and agriculture
is essential to the development of in
dustries and the creation Of traffic. At
least two eastern roads have put the
principle into operation, and eastern
papers do not attempt to conceal the
fact that the idea is borrowed from
the west.
The east, probably more than the
west, needed to learn this lesson, be-
cause conditions there are such that
encouragement of agriculture is neces-
sary Nor is it work of charity which
the railroads are seeking to render
the farmer, but rather a matter Of
mutual benefit. Where the soil has
been cultivated so long that it needs
reviving farmers have to be taught
new methods for bringing their soil up
to a higher state of cultivation. East
ern farmers need to know what the
western farmer is being taught, that
science applied to farming will increase
the farms output and conserve the ele-
ments of the land for greater harvests
in the future. All this is of value to
the farmer, because 1t means larger
income and better soil. But It is
equally valuable to the railroad, which
must depend upon the farm for large
share of its volume Of business.
The eastern railroads have been slow
in needing this lesson. While the west
was carrying on this systematic cam
paign Of intensive farming, developing
new country, drawing In new settlers,
building towns along new lines of
track and creating new sources of
wealth, the east sat back and refused
to see that its land was becoming less
productive each year, its farmers
poorer and more anxious for the op-
portunity to leave their impoverished
land for newer homes in the west. All
this time the progressive spirit Of the
west was steadily moving onward,
under the impetus of such men as
James j. Hill and Edward H. Harri-
man., toward the goal of cooperation
between the farmer and the railroader,
and the mutual benefIts derived and
yet to be derived cannot be measured:
The thing after all that has brought
the railroads of the east, like those
of THE west, 20 the farmer is not the
mere altruistic instinct of helping the
farmer, but the realization that they
have a common territory to develop
and common interest to foster. The
railroads have decided to apply to the
mastery of the soil and the upbuilding
Of its resources that same energy and
intelligence that they applied to the
reduction of their costs Of transporta.
tiou. But creating new sources of reve.
nue., in other words, making new bust
ness, is better work and far more
enduring one, than cutting down ex.
penses or raising rates. The one is
expansion, the other contraction.

Petty Form OF Graft in Congregational
Mileage.

Petty Form OF Graft in Congregational
Mileage.
Indianapolis Newes
The effort OF Representative Cox to have
the congressional mileage reduced from
20 cents to cents deserves a good deal
more favorable consideration than Il Will
probably get. The mileage that liberal
handed congressman allow to themselves
has long been joke, though a rather
expensive one for the people. It Is, in
fact nothing more than a form of graft
which the grafters unfortunately have
the power to legaliSe. Public attention
was directed sharply to this fact few
years ago when, by a constructive re-
cess" the members OF congress allowed
themselves mileage for trip TO their
homes and return to Washington when
there was not enough time between the
adjournment OF one session and the open
ing OF another for them TO leave the city.
One would think that when the yrecently
allowed themselves a 50 per cent advance
In their salaries they might have been
modest enough to forego the mileage graft
That is one would think 80 II one were
familiar with congressional customs But
this velvet" was too easy, and the mem
bers hung on TO the full amount Of it
Americans are not a cheese-paring people
but they are beginning TO object very em-
phatically TO the unnecessary expenditure
OF their money by their elected representa-
tives. The way to ecOnomize IL to econ
omize and no better opportunity for be-
ginning this desirable policy has yet been
suggested than by cutting off the mileage

Postal Revenues Increasing.

The report Of the auditor for the
Postoff1ce department, showing sub
stantial increases in postal revenues,
is OF particular interest and signifi-
cance just now, because Of the general
speculation over the postal deficit. The
auditor shows the postof1ce revenue
growth is keeping pace at present with
customs and internal revenues, despite
the fact that the latter in the last year
have made heavy increases.
For the months of October, Novem-
ber and December of 1909 the receipts
Of the Postofice department exceeded
those Of the same months in 1908 by
nearly $3,6OO,O00. The volume of
business done for that quarter was,
moreover, the largest In the history
of the department. and the postal de-
felt for the first half ofthe fiscal year
1910, ending June 80, this report
shows to be Ss,OoO,OOO less than the
deficit for the corresponding period
last year.
There is no doubt that the present
classifcations of postal rate schedules
could be improved by some revision,
and probably will be, but the fact re-
mains that the situation cannot be as
bad as some have tried to make out.
II these figures presented by the audi
tor for the Postofice department mean
anything they mean that the system
now in vogue is not all wrong. but
on the contrary must have the inher-
ent power to correct many OF the
abuses responsible for the recurring
deficits. They suggest, too, the en-
eouraging probability that It is going
to require comparatively little change
to bring the depr nent up to its
maximum degree fficiency. Post

Just Like a Trust,

A letter which Brother Charley" is
sending out to the country newspapers
in behalf Of Mr.. Bryan's Commoner
would indicate that, when 1t comes to
matters of business, the great light Of
democracy is not very different from
the avariCious trusts which he so con-
stantly denounces. It seems that Mr.
Bryan's gems Of speech from his sopho-
moric days at college to his third time
defeat for the presidency have been
collected into a two-volume reprint to
be used as a clubbing premium with
his paper, and Brother Charley"
thinks It Is such a good thing that he
wants to share it with other newspaper
publishers. The proposition he offers
Is as follows:
BY purchasing the book in large quanti-
ties we are able to offer them to you at
ii per set I. 0. b. Lincoln, or 81 Is per SET
ana we deliver the books by mail direct 10
your subscribers. The above prices cover
the books in cloth binding. When your
readers desire the books In half feathBr
binding the price will be 81 additional b II
you advertise your paper together with the
books for S2.25 and wish us to send them
by mail direct you would receive $1.l0 for
your paper and still have left 81 .15 to pay
for the books delivered. You might also
Advertise the books alone at 50 per set, the
regular subscription price This is the low
est figure At which they can be advertised
under any circumstances.
Now, some Of Mr.. Bryan's speeches
are good speeches, and the new edition
in two small volumes appears to be
good books. as book making goes, but
clear profit of 100 per cent looks
mighty much like monopoly profit
even in these days of high cost of liv.
Ing. Still, that is not the main feature
to be noted, but rather the stipulation
that while these books are to be
offered to the public at $2.25, they
carry with them a distinct stipulation
that there are not to be advertised
under any circumstances for less than
81 per set. That is exactly, as we un.
derstand It, the odius device which
has been charged up against the so.
called book trust, there being a gen.
tlemen's agreement among the pub
fishers to set a minimum selling price
Of s1.0s against any $3.50 book, be,
low which the retail dealer is not al
lowed to so no matter how shelly worn
or out of date his stock may become
under penalty Of being blacklisted by
all the publishers from receiving fur
ther supplies OF books. What would
happen II some one should get hold OF
a consignment Of Mr.. Bryan's speeches
and being content with so per cent
profit offer them for $3.50. we have nc
means Of knowing, but the presump.
tion is that Mr.. Bryan would act Just
like trust and trim down all future
orders
