Beerbohm Tree, the English actor,
had a comical experience on his FIRST
appearance as the corpulent Falstaff.
In the last act be had arranged that
Falstaff, disconnected by gibes and
buffets Of the fairies In Windsor for
est, should make one herculean effort
to climb the oak tree. The pegs that
were to serve as supports for that tree
were always conspicuous by their abb
sence. On the morning before the per-
Torrance MFR. Tree was told they
should positively be fixed on the tree.
The morning came, but with IT no pegs.
ElOquence was stiHed; even invective
faltered. He pointed to the tree and
with the calm Of despair blurted out

Such an ejaculation, spoken more in
sorrow than In anger, would, he hoped,
appeal to that last remnant Of con-
science which even the papier mache

supposed to retain. In the evening

no pegs could be seen. Mr.. Trees

THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS

high prices;
"The tariff, trusts and an in

THE first two are the chief
malefactors and are of our own
creation or permission.

In a speech delivered at the
Platte County Fair last Wednes-
day David R. Francis, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator, said:
"Concentration of wealth in the
hands of a few must be checked.
1t is dangerous to III institutions.
| am not inveighing against prop
erty as property, for l recognize
the right of every man to acquire
a competence and an independ-
ence, but l also appreciate the
evils that will result if all of the
property falls into the possession
of a privileged few.
Corporations are a necessity in
this day of big enterprises, but
owners of corporations should not
forget that a corporation gets it's

and is amenable to the laws OF the
State. Corporations are subject
to regulation. They have no citi-
zenship, have no right of suffrage,
and should not be permitted to
have any voice in making laws,
eleoting men who make laws or
the judges who construe the laws.
"The individual alone has that
right. We must bear that in mind
and must never lose sight of the
responsibilities of citizenship.
Further, as l have often said, the
citizen should never be permitted
to lose sight of his duties and re-
sponsibilities as an individual and
a citizen.

to the young men of to-day. To
them we must look for the per-
petuation of our institutions. Ev-
cry young man of legal age should
be a politician to the extent that
he should interest himself in po-
litical affairs.
81 do not mean that he should
ally himself necessarily with the
party of which his father and
grandfather were members, but he
should study the principles of the
great parties and ally himself
with the organization which stands
for individualism and the SUI
premacy OF the people.
SIT is my conviction that the
predominance of Democratic prin-
ciples is necessary for the per-
petuity of our free institutions. If
our principles are not the correct
principles they should not and
will not prevail. | believe they
are, however.

FOLLOWING is the latest ebulli-
ton from the "Me unit Colt"
would-be autocrat of Germany.
1t is an excerpt from a speech he
delivered at Koenigsburg on the
18th ult.:
My grandfather, by his own
right placed the Prussian crown
upon his head and proclaimed it
to be bestowed upon him by Gods
grace alone and not by parlia-
ments, assemblies of the people or
resolutions Of the people, and an
nounced that he saw in himself
the chosen instrument of heaven,
and as such he regarded his duty
as regent and ruler y. Con-
sidering myself as the instrument
OF the Master, regardless of pass
ing views and opinions, / 90 my
way, which Is solely devoted to
the prosperity and peaceful de-
velopment Of our fatherland.
II is perhaps natural that he has
implicit belief in the divine right
OF kings, but it is inexplicable that
so intelligent . people as the
Germans should bow in meek sub
mission to a medieval tenet so
foreign to reason and justice.

President Diaz has guaranteed to
them freedom of worship. II this
news be true, there will be several
vacancies on the Republican roll
of Congress. | remember that so
long as Democratic Mormons were
sent to that body they were vir-
tuously denied admission; but
when the brethren, made wise by
experience, began electing repre-
sentatives of the true political
faith, the doors were opened wide
to them. For behold! Republic

Direct Legislation and Recall
System.

Of all the reform movements
before the country today, direct
legislation is the mostimportant,
because it is the master key with
which the people can unlock the
doors to all other needed reforms.
1t is not a substitute for, but a
safeguard to the present repre-
sentative system of government.
Through the referendum the peo-
pie retain the power of vetoing
measures passed by their repre-
sentatives against their wishes.
Through the initiative they re-
serve the right to secure the en-
actment of laws, in case their re-
representatives. prove recreant to
the trust imposed in them. There
is but one possible argument
against direct legislation and
that is that the people are not
capable of governing themselves,
but the men who advance it must
of necessity go further and con-
tend that our government is a
failure.
The direct primary system en-
ables the people to select their
candidates, instead of leaving
that important power in the
hands of the political bosses. Di-
rect legislation enables thepeople
to force their law makers to do
their will and the recall enables
them to discharge incompetent

COAL LAND WITHDRAWN.

President Taft has ordered the
withdrawal OF s, 256, 97S acres of
lands in Idaho supposed to con-
tain coal deposits. The bulk of
this land lies in the Snake river
valley, extending from the Mini
doka irrigation project westward
along either side of Snake river
to the Oregon line, and northerly
as far as Weiser. Practically the
entire Payette- Boise and the
Twin Falls irrigation projects are
included in the withdrawal, to
gether with allintervening lands.
Lands now in private ownership,
however, are not affected by the
order.
The next largest withdrawal
embraces about so townships in
southeastern Idaho, lying be-
tween Idaho Falls and ST. An
thony and the Wyoming bound
airy. This tract contains an ex-
tension of the Wyoming coal
fields and is the only bituminous
coal in Idaho. Three smaller
Withdrawals were made, one of
IL townships surrounding Sal
mon, six townships in the south
ern extremity of the Sawtooth
forest reserve and Ia townships
in Nez Perce county around the
town of Blake.
Aside from the southeastern
withdrawal the lands are sup
posed to contain legnite. The
extent or value Of the deposits
has not yet been determined. All
lands Withdrawn may be home
steaded, the government reserv-
ing only the coal deposits, under
the law enacted at the last SEES
sion.-Ex
