A Democratic View.

Perhaps the less said about Democ-
racy in connection with the overturn

gressional district the better. That
district has not been represented in
congress by Democrat within the
memory Of living men, and there is no
sign that it ever will be.

APPEALED TO THE FARMERS
Sound Arguments Put Forward by
Congressman McKinlay on His
Kansas Tour.

Congressman McKinay sowed a
great deal of good tariff seed on the
Kansas prairies during his recent tour
are not usually barren grounds when
good seed is properly sown. MI.
McKinlay made many strong points in
his defense of the Payne bill, but he
could hardly have scored more effect
lively with farmers than in his insist.
ence on the fact that the farmers
market is essentially a home market.
With So per cent. of all he raises con-
sumed within the confines of this
country, one would imagine that the
farmer would be the last to advocate
anything which decreased the buying
ability of those to whom he sells.
That the consumers must be largely
wage earners goes without saying and
that wage earners must be what the
name implies depends on their ability
to get employment This ability to
get employment depends on the abil-
ity of wage payers to give il and,
finally, this depends on Industrial con.
ditions which involve prosperity in
mine and mill and factory and in all
the avenues of commerce. If America
imports its shoes, clothing. machinery.
etc, it requires only the commonest
kind of common sense to understand
that the wages paid for manufacturing
these things must be paid to foreign
workmen, not to American labor that
composes the farmers home market.
Congressman McKinlay, Speaker
Cannon and other Republican leaders
have shown time and again that 4
majority of the articles and commodi-
ties imported are not dutiable while
of those which are dutiable the great
majority are luxuries. AS to the neces-
stiles of the people, either they have
been admitted free under the Payne
bill or the duties have been largely
reduced 1t requires $400000,000
year to pay the legitimate running ex-
pensos Of the government, besides
millions more for pensions, etc. A
tariff bill which levies the larger
share of this burden upon the wealth
rather than upon the dinner pals of
the country would seem to deserve
the commendation of all who are not
blinded by partisanship of the most
stupid kind.-Kansas City Journal

TRUE TO HIS TRUST
PRESIDENT URGES LEGISLATION
DEMANDED BY PARTY.
influence Of the Chief Executive Con-
stantly Exerted in Favor of
Measures That Are Consistent
With Platform Pledges.

1t will not be President Taft's fault
II the larger and more vital measures
which the administration has been
seeking to push through congress. in
fulf1llment of Republican platform
pledges, do not take solid and enduring
form In laws The weight of the presi-
dents influence is being exerted to
the utmost to force the passage of the
railroad bill now pending, and the
White House is doing all that it can
to insure the enactment of a postal
savings law and a law more carefully
and thoroughly covering the conserva-
ton of national resources.
Congress is proving difficult to get
IN motion and keep going ahead in the
right direction, just as it was during
the Roosevelt administration. The
Taft program is meeting with formi-
dable opposition from various quar-
ters, and IL the bills which have been
given the support of the president
shall become laws 1t will be a notable
tribute 10 his vigorous and insistent
championing of them. The chances
are that at least a part of the admin
istration program will go through,
however, without material change
If this can be accomplished the
president will be able to face his crit
les next fall with a record of prac-
tical results achieved which will help
greatly in obtaining a favorable YER
dict FROM the people at the polls. He
knows that his administration Is on
trial, and he is not blind to the fact
that the public is a suspicious and ex-
tremely critical jury this year, Mr..
Taft IS quite human enough to be
eager for approval for himself ana his
party and he does not intend to let
any important progressive measures
drift over to the next congress il they
can be disposed of creditably and
wisely now.
In seeking this end the president Is
displaying a degree of force and ac-
tivity IN spurring congress to its tasks
which must surprise many who have
thought him too easy-going and too
quick to yield to strong opposition
He is not trouble seeker, certainly,
but 1t is equally clear that be does
not give way to stout antagonism
while chance of success remains.

WickerShQm Forces Root to Rear
Successful Revolution Against the Senator Causes the At
toney- General to Act as Political Leader.

New York, April 25.-Although
United States Senator Elihu Root en-
joys the title of boss of the disorganiz-
ed Woodruff republican state machine
the timid leaders of the second and
third grades are beginning to look up
on Attorney General George w Wick
ershan as the real power in their
party.
Mr.. Wickersham has operated quiet
ly, but with more effect than Root or
Woodruff, and he has negotiated the
principal undertakings prompted by
President Taft to iron out the troubles
of the party in this and other states.
Word comes from Washington that
the activities of Mr.. Wickersham have
aroused considerable friction in the
Taft cabinet. A well posted authority
supplies the Information that the fav-
or shown the attorney general by the
president recently came near resulting
in the retirement by the president
recently of Secretary of State Philan-
der c. Knox. Mr. Wickersham is
known to have aspired to the actual
function of premier. confidential adj

the Taft administration.
Wickersham Real Power.
The recognition of Mr.. Wickersham

ascendancy as the most powerful man
in the administration. however, de
feated the plans of Mr. Knox, it is
said. and led him to contemplate re
tirement He was dissuaded by Presi
dent Taft, according to the best infor-
nation obtainable, although there is
no certainty that he will remain a
permanent figure in the state depart
ment.
Mr.. Wickersham seems to have been
selected as the Warwick of the Taft
administration because of his ability
to straighten out tangles in the party
and also because of his loyalty to the
president and the latter's absolute
confidence in him. The admiration
of the president for him was increas-
ed after Root had failed to compel
the state senate to select as its lead
|er Senator Harvey D. Human Of
Brooke county.
