ness. Mr.. Hill does not attribute
the condition which be foresees to
the recent election which changed
n Republican House of Representa-
tives into a Democratic House aud
the political change of sentiment
that has taken place within the
past year. That is the dema-
gogue's cry when a panic is felt
Just after some political upheaval,
or of the government. benefited
class when the party that conferred
its special privileges is losing the
confidence Of the people. Mr.. Hill
predicates his forecast on eXtrava-
gance, public and private. lie
says the American people spend
too freely, that extravaganza has
been our great fault. As a rule
we have been given too much to
adornments; have become obsessed
with the city beautiful in mu.
nicipal affairs and have followed
like policies in State aud National
governments. He says that battle
ships, not only in this country,
but abroad, are illustrations of the
extravaganza in which the world
has been plunged the past two de.
cades; the money for these has
been withdrawn from commercial
circles and almost as good as
squandered so far as there can be
any tangible returns observed. He
cites the fact that in four years,
from 1892 to 1896, our Federal ex-
penditures were 81 800, 900. 900,
and that for n similar period, from
1904 to 1908, we spent about 3d.
600, 100000. He declares that
there are no factories and such
other enterprises as are productive
in their nature contemplated by
those who have money to invest,
which means that those who have
nothing 10 sell but their time will
be without employment; that there
will be shutting down of mines,
the products Of which go into the
production of commercial articles,
because there will be no demand
for them. He says that the Great
Northern, which he represents, is
going to need very few supplies;
that other business interests are
not making any provision for i'm
provement or extension, not be-
cause they haven't the money, but
because there are no inducements.
Mr.. Hills theory seems to be that
we have forged ahead so fast that
now we are stalled with overpro.
duction and little is left for us to
do or to stimulate industry for the
next year at least. That we have
been moving some cannot be ques.
and there is little question
that it is well to begin to take
stock. but let us hope that Mr..
Hill may prove a false seer.

n HE irregularities-we use n
S mild term-occuring with
such regularity in the elections Of ST.
Louis-but perhaps no worse there
than in other lnrge cities-are al
ways laid at the door of the politi-
cal party having charge of the
election machinery. Governor
Hadley has been loud in his boast
that he was going to give the cities
honest elections through the cleo
ton commissioners that he would
appoint, but the recent election in
St. Louis under the management
of his appointees is Il little the
worst that was ever held there;
and his election commissioners
were very restless under the eyes
of Democratic watchers and the ir-
Irregularities discovered by them in
the official count. The covering
up or ignoring Of these irregulari-
ties seemed TO be their chief con-
Germ rather than an honest and
fair count. And in the face of all
the circumstantial evidence of in
competency, irregularity and vio-
lations of the election law on the
part of judges and clerks of cleo
ton, Governor Hadley has the eff
frontery to say that THE last cleo
ton was the most honestly and
fairly conducted in the history of

With the April issue of Human

his profoundly interesting series Of
articles entitled Travelling With
Taft" which began with the Deem
Der number.
In this instalment Mr.. Lewis lays
bare some astonishing facts con-
nected with the Utah end of the
presidential junket, which are the
keys to much that has been puz-
cling in the situation. In Utah the
great purpose was to construct a
Taft machine. Thus it was that
Reed Smoot and a committee of
his fellow Mormons, more or less
deeply welded. received Mr.. Taft
and conveyed him to their Taber-
nacle, where he spoke, while the
Gentle press, bitterly resentful yet
mindful that he was the guest of
their city, explained that the Nor
mons had betrayed his innocent ig-
norance. This was a shrewd and
far-seeing move of the Taft mana
gers. The MormonS are a power
in politics, just how powerful and
just how and by whom controlled
the average American has little
idea, and this article will prove an
eye-opener.
Every Mormon must give one.
tenth of his yearly income to the
church. What becomes of this
vast income,-of these yearly 1.-THE,
born millions? Here is a mighty
money power, unguessed by the
outside world. In the hands of {
few shrewd leaders accountable to NJ
one, it is sufficient to give them {
finger in every Western money pi,
of any size - hand in the affair
of railroads, banks, mines and man
ufacturing plants. What connec

powerful ecclesiastical machine

must take notice? Again, rea
