Want Sub Treasury Rebuilt.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-The
president and congress- have been petit
toned by the board of trade, the
chamber of commerce, the Merchants
Exchange and other organizations of
this city for an immediate apprOpria-
ton to rebuild the United States sub
treasury which was destroyed by the
fire of 1906. The subtreasury still &C.
cupies the roofed-in ruins Of the old
building, and the petition points out
that the government alone of all the
banks and similar institutions has
failed to construct an adequate build

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-'Let us not
tempt a restless people by deliberate
act of congress centralizing financial
power in a single city" said Leslie
NJ. Shaw, formerly secretary of the
treasury, in a speech tonight before
the Financial Forum at the West
Side Y. NJ. G. A. Arguing against
the establishment of q central bank,
Mr. Shaw said in part:
advocates of the central bank never
fail to emphasize the Importance of
keeping such an institution out of pol
itics and out of Wall street. BY
so doing, they hope to dispel the i'm
preston that the very purpose of the
central bank is to centralize power in
Wall street.

from Athens that the troops had occu-

military league forbade the publica-

WAR ON THE PRoGREssIvEs

John Snure, the Register and
Leader correspondent at Washington
says:
Not merely in Iowa but in every
state where there is division between
standpatters and progressives Presi-
dent Taft and Chairman Mckinley of
the republican congressional commit
tee and the other congressional lead
ers of the so-called regular brand,
will exert their influence to help out
the standpatters and down insurg-
ents. The fact has developed here
since the white house conference of
Saturday at which Chairman McKin-
ley, Judge Smith, Representative
nennedy and Col Hepburn were
present. 1t has been decided that a
campaign all along the line shall be
waged in support of the regular pol
icies. The tariff measure will be up
held as the best tariff law ever en-
acted and Cannonism and Aldrichism
will be supported. 1t is claimed that
an effort will be made to beat the in
surgents at the polls, but tons of lit
erature which will include Cannon's
Kansas City speech and utterances
by President Taft in defense of the
tariff measure will be distributed

TAFT, TARIFF AND GOLD.

August 18th, just week after the
AldrichTaft tariff had become law
with the full approval of MIR. Taft,
The Journal remarked that the presi-
dent had spent the most of his time
on the links of the Chevy Chase club
while Aldrich, Payne, Boutell and
other standpatters racked their
brains for new tariff jokers.
Continuing, The Journal said:
Doubtless Mr.. Taft could van
quish Senator Aldrich or Representa-
tive Payne at golf, but there may be
persons who would consider it more
desirable for him to vanquish them
at the game of tariff. Greater famil-
iarity with the intricacies of tariff
schedules and closer study sof the
evidence before the ways and means
committee might have enabled Mr..
Taft to force the passage of tariff
bill for which he need not have apol-
ogised."
In view of the appropriation OF
$4,000 asked to enable the tariff
board to analyze tariff conditions
The Journals statement of last Aug
ust is peculiarly significant
The time to learn the truth about
the tariff was before the Aldrich bill
became law, not after it had in
creased the cost of living beyond all
reason.
The Taft plan of studying the stu
alton after the mischief has been
done is a striking illustration of the
ancient adage that it is useless to
lock the stable door after the horse
has been stolen.-Chicago journal

AMERICAS PERIL.

The riotous disorders which now
menace the prosperity of Pennsyl-
vania's metropolis are, after all, but
the symptoms of deep-seated dis
ease From the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf.
there is a growing tendency to hold
the law cheap Nor is this tendency
made manifest by the mob alone.
The great corporations too frequent
ly work along the same lines, though
their methods are more subtle and,
from one point of view, more intelli-
gent. The evil has grown with the
years, till we are at last confronted
with the problem whether this
democracy of ours is stalwart enough
to vindicate the principle on which all
forms of government rest. The ma
ton which cannot, or will not, en-
force the DEGREES of it's courts and
safeguard the rights of it's citizens
must ultimately pay the price of
cowardice and give way to some race
with iron in it's blood. There is a
limit which neither the monopolist
of capital, nor the monopolist OF
labor, can be suffered to pass. And
history proves that the tyrant always
steps in, to perform the task from
which the peoples representatives
and judges recoil.
So great a lover of freedom as
Gladstone was quick to perceive the
peril, though it was much less OBJ
vious in his day. The classes, he
said, had failed to make wise use OF
the power which the feudal regime
, put in their hands. Would the masses
be wiser in their turn and assimulate
the lesson of the lawless monafchies
which persisted, because they could
erect no adequate barriers against
! the lusts of the castles? 1t is not the
kings and mobiles that the average
man now has to fear. The doctrine
of divine right is dead beyond resur-
| rection. Taxes are levied and spent
! by parliaments, instead of being de-
creed and wasted in the purlius OF
the place. And yet the taxpayer is
often driven to ask himself if the
budgets are not still despotic in es-
sence. So, too, it, is a nice question
whether the demagogue is at heart
more democratic than the courtie1
was There is an immense amount OF
talk, but statutes were finally made
and enforced by invisible hands. The
supreme test of system lies in its
practical results. The Antonines
were despots, but the Roman peace
was fact throughout the vast realm
they ruled. We live under a Re-
public, but dare not pretend that
every American is secure in life and
property, as against the predatory
plutocrat, or the. riotous mob? We
have, therefore, reached the parting
of the ways. The conservatives Of
all classes must make their influence
felt, else our government will die
from excessive weakness, as othel
/ governments have died from ruthles!
/ strength. There is no middle grounc
between respect and contempt fol
law, since law must be loved for it!
own sake, or not at all. The battle
for absolute freedom will have to bt
fought to finish, else this Republic
will beget its Caesar, to repress boil

The U. S. Land Office in Des Moines
was closed on the last day of Febru-
airy, 1910, after an existence of some
sixty-eight years. The records of the
Office will be sent to Washington, ex-
.cept portion, the tract books, ETC.,
which will be turned over to the state
to be preserved for the benefit of all
interested. The Office was a great
help to Des Moines and brought here
on land Office business many thous-
ands of people. But of late years
there was very little business, the land
having all been disposed of. Several
years ago all of the ten or more land
offices of the state were consolidated
here. The business, however, dwin-
died away and now comes the aboli-
ton and passing away of the office. 1t
has served it's day.-National Demo

DEMocRAcY-THEN AND NOW

President Cleveland went to defeat
once on the tariff reform issue, but
later was sent back, with democrat
ic congress to support him, and a
tariff-reform platform.
If democracy ever had clear
mandate from the people it was to
lower their tariff burdens at the time
the wilson act was passed. Yet the
latter measure, when it came from
the trust ridden senate, was so emas-
culated that Cleveland refused to
sign it, though he allowed it to be-
come law with out his signature.
The ', ilson act, originally real
tariff reform measure, was mangled
by the interests" led by German
and Brice in the senate and pig
iron" Kelley in the house. 1t ceased
to be democratic measure, though
the democratic party were RESPONSE
BILE for it.
The moral of which is that democ-
racys summons in the coming cam
paign, to prepare for real tariff re-
vision in congress, is as clear and
as we'll defined as it was nearly
twenty years ago. Also that the
same Interests" hope to thwart the
peoples will, even if democrats take
charge.
There is only one way that the
American people can beat the Gin
terests" into submission to their will
by sending to Washington demo
cratic congress, and keeping tariff
traitors out of it.
This is democracy's year, if all its
candidates for congress are -four
