AUOIJSH 1T.

One by one the members OF Senator
Aldrichs Monetary Commission have
been resigning with feigned indigna-
ton. According to them, their resis-
nations amount simply to protests OF
resentment against the criticisms made
in Congress and elsewhere as to the
commission and its work
1t is much moro likely that these
designations arc due to the expressed
determination of the Democrats in
Congress to abolish this costly and
useless commission No designations
were offered until Congress was pre-
pared to abolish the whole commits
sion. 1t is quite natural that members
OF the commission had rather resign
than he fred.
Congress would net wisely in abol-
fishing the Monetary Commission. 1t
has been at work for more than three
years at great expense to the Govern
ment. The sole result of this expense
has been the recommendation to the
Government OF monetary plan
which will ccntralizc even more surely
than now the financial power of the
nation in Wall Street. 1t has been
suspected that this is the design of
the commission. and this has some
what discredited the Monetary Com
mission In the eyes of the country
and fortified the position OF the Demo-
Gratis who are determined that 1t
shall go.

The prophets are busy again. The
reuniting of the lost tribes OF Isra ell
and the second advent OF Christ will
take place some time in November,
1912. according to a document filed last
week in the office of the county record
err in Chicago. 1t was drawn up and
filed by two disciples of the late John
Alexander Dowic, and goes on 10 affirm
that Before the year of 1912 shall
close. Jesus. the Christ. the Son of God.
will come forth from the eternal throne
once again to teach and preach the gos-
pei of salvation and TO heal the sick"
Furthermore, it is confidently fore
cast that the Christ will be revealed
in Zion City, built by Gods Elijah" as
preparation of the way unto all who
await His coming" According to this
prophecy. the Christ will remain on
earth 434 years, which time will be
consumed in reuniting the scattered
tribes OF Israel and in building cities
throughout the earth. modelled after
Dowie's Zion City. The rebuilding OF
Jerusalem will be the last work OF
the Christ on earth"

These figures are supplied by the
United States Government for the year
1908. Since that time there have been
advances both here and abroad. but
the ratio is the same The fact still
stands that the hours of labor per
week in England average about ten
per cent. more than those in Ameri-
ca. These figures not only show why
English workingmen emigrate, but
also why those who do not or cannot
'emigrate are driven TO resort to strik-
ing in an attempt to make their con-
ditions in life better
Late Investigations demonstrate that,
the cost of living is as high in Eng
land as in the United States. If Eng
lish workirGnon were to insist uDon
the style of living to which American
workers are accustomed to, It would
be higher With few exceptions. all
meat products cost more in England
than here, because most OF them are
imported. This is also true of fruits
and vegetables. AS result foods
which in our country are considered
necessarles of daily life for even the
humblest workingman are in England
regarded as Injuries to be enjoyed
only on rare occasions
While the jump in the cost OF living
has been the cause Of much discomfort
and agitation in the United States, It
has caused abroad. and notably in the
crowded towns and cities of England,
hardship and suffering 40 n degree
which can only be appreciated by
those who have visited these places
Those who know by personal obser-
walton of the sQualor in which the
lowest paid classes OF British work
ingmen live are not surprised that
they resort to strikes In n desperate
effort to Improve their condition 1t
is really remarkable that they do not
oftencr rise to rebel and carry their
revolt TO the extent where It would
require the army to break It,

siding officer of the Senate. objec-
ton was afterward made in some OF
the state conventions to the selection
OF an officer not elected as Senator
to preside over the deliberations OF
the Senate and to cast potential
vote upon any measure wherc there
was tie in the Senate, but the pro-
vision remained Embedded in the or
ganic law of the land
Is the Vice President really neces
sary in our governmental system?
When the Office was created, party
conventions as they now exist were
unknown, and the practice then was
to put in the office the man who, next
to the President. made the best race
for the Presidency before the people
which assured the election OF a man al
most as popular and perhaps as able
as the Chief Magistrate himself
There is no reason why member OF
the Senate should not be its perma-
nent presiding officer. just as he is the
temporary presiding officer now There
is no reason why the Vice President
should have the right to break tile
tie-why not follow the analogy of
the House where the presiding officer
votes by virtue of his membership in
the body in all cases:
1t is now provided by law that the
third in rank in the Presidential sue
cession is the Secretary Of State Why
not eliminate the Vice President, Gre
ate president of the Senate who is
not to succeed to the Presidency of
the nation in the case OF the Presi-
of state in fact. though not in name,
the Vice President?
If this were DONE it would certainly
give TO the nation in case of a vacancy
q more suitable head than the
present haphazard mode of select
ing Vice President does With
the exception of a few OF the earlier
Presidents, 1t is safe to say that the
Secretaries of State have been greater
than the Presidents who put them IN
their Cabinets. 1t may be said with
out possibility Of intelligent denial
that the Secretaries of State have. as
o whole. been far ADLER men than the
ice-Presidents. far better qualified TO
assume the duties of the Chief Exec
utive of mighty republic. The aver
age man recalls many who have held
the portfolio OF State: Jefferson. Ed
mund Randolph, John Marshall, James
Monroe. John Quincy Adams Clay,
Van Buren,, Livingston. Forsyth Web
ster, Legare,. Upshur, Calhoun, Buch-
anan, Clayton. Everett, Marcy. Cass,
Jeremiah S. Black, Seward. Evarts,
Blaine. Olney, Hay. Root and Knox.
but he recalls as notable Vice
Presidents only Adams, Jefferson,
Burr, Calhoun, Van Buren, Tyler. Fill
more, Johnson, Arthur and Roosevelt,
most of whom became famous because
they became Presidents. Who can tell
anything about Clinton, Gerry, Tomp-
kins. Johnson. Hamlin, ColfGN. Wilson,
Wheeler or Morton?
1t is now the tendency to select one
of the ablest men in the party as Sec
rotary OF state II is not SO in The
case OF the Vice President. In any
event. the people have little to say in
the choice of a Vice President; it
would be better for them ii the Sec
rotary OF state were next to the Presi-
dent, because. as a rule. they would
in the event OF the death OF The Presi-
dent have an ADLER. more statesman
like Chief Executive.
