Its Purpose.

What Is the real purpose Of the
Democratic party?
To stand against special privileges.
10 the answer given by Governor
Woodrow Wilson to the National
League of Democratic clubs at In
dianapolis last night.
Not to uphold state rights or to
give the least possible government.
or to carry out any Of the transient
policies that happened to enlist the
support Of various eminent Demo
Gratis in dealing with conditions Of the
past. Traditions do not make a fight
ing platform for the present age.
The only reason to Justify the Dem
ocratic party's staying on earth is to
fight for the eQuare deal. His effec-
tive comprehension of this fact--effec-
tive, not merely theoretical-is what
has made the governor Of New Jer-
sey the great figure that he IL today
before the country.

THE economy and efficiency board Is
i beginning to get results. 1t has
reached a point in its labors where 1t
thinks 1t foresees where a million dol
lars may be saved during the first year
Of its existence.
At present It is devoting It's atten-
tions largely to the item Of travelling
expenses of government employees and
to the duplication of work In the de-
partments. The president and the mem
bers Of his cabinet were surprised to
learn from this board that the travel
ing expenses charged against the treas
ury last year aggregated about $12,-
900, 900.
Just how much this enormous sum
can be reduced without Gripping the
public service in the least is still a
question, but the members Of the econ
omy and efficiency board are conf
dent that a great saving can be made.

Good Oemocratsl

Action of the Democratic majority
in the national house of represents
tives In deciding to abolish a lot Of
unnecessary positions in that body is
most significant. In 1t are promise
and hope of al era OF much-needed
economy in national affairs.
The significance OF the action ia
not by any means SO great in connoc.
ton with the actual amount Of Saving
as with the fact that it diminishes the
opportunity Of members to furnish
patronage to political and personal
friends.
One hundred and eighty-two thou
sand dollars a year is the sum to be
retained in the national treasury al
the result Of abolishing the Offices
That is a comparatively small item
in the total Of the cost Of government
But 1t will be remembered that
every one Of those Offices might be
filled by the appointee Of some Demo
cratic congressman. In thus volun.
tarily abandoning the opportunity FOL
patronage, the Democrats hold out q
most pleasing hope of economy in
larger matters.

The heads Of the executive depart.
ments have received instructions to
pare travelling expenses wherever pos
sible. This order is applicable to the
war and navy departments. as we'll a.
to all other departments of govern
ment.
or course, the largeness Of the item
for travelling expenses is due in great
measure to the laws under which men
in the navy and in the army, either
as officers or privates. receive travel
allowances. The travel expenses of
the department Of agriculture and
the department of the interior are
also necessarily heavy, and the same
is true. though not to so great an ex.
tent. of the post office department.
The injunction that has gone out
simply is that travel pay must not be
authorized except where travel on
government business Is absolutely
necessary.
Soon after President Taft entered
the White House, and long before the
present economy and efficiency board
was created, instructions went out to
the heads Of the executive depart.
ments to curtail travelling expenses
wherever possible.

This ia explained by the fact that

What little objection there was on
the ground Of its possible legal in.
validity. to the passing of the Cana.
dian reciprocity measure, has been
removed by a decision Of the customs
court.
1t has been held in some quarters
that the favored nation clause in the
American treaty with. England would
extend automatically to England any
reduction in duty made on the prod.
uct of another nation. 1t was not, OF
course, the intention of the United
States to make concessions to Eng.
land in connection with the agree.
ment with Canada, but the point was
raised that the Washington govern
ment could not help itself once II
had made a deal with Ottawa.
The decision that set aside this OBJ
lection was d simple case in which
there was difference Of opinion on
the amount Of duty to be laid on
whisky coming from England and
France. The court held that the duty
on the English product must be paid
as specified; that the existing trade
agreement with France could have nc
influence on any other business

NOT GOOD ARGUMENT
ePECIOUo TALK AGAINST DIRECT
ELECTION OF SENATORS. ,
"stand Pat" Republicans In Vain Flight
Against the viii Of the People
No Real Power Taken From
Congress.

At the session Of congress that end.
Cd March 4 direct election Of senators
came within four votes of getting the
necessary two-thirds majority in the
senate. Recently the house voted
overwhelmingly for direct elections.
Apparently enough Old Guard Sen.
ators have gone. and enough new pro.
gressive senators have taken their
places. to insure favorable action by
the present senate.
But the opposition will die hard.
It Is not without hope. It will fight
b direct elections amendment with
the same argument by which Uncle
Joe Cannon sought to Justify his neg.
alive vote. Certain senators will say
that they r In favor of direct cleo
tons. but that they cannot vote for
any amendment which alters the first
paragraph of the fourth section Of the
first article of the Constitution.
In Its present form this paragraph
reads: The times, places and man.
ner of holding elections for senators
and representatives shall be pre-.
scribed In each state by the legislature
thereof; but the congress may at any
time, by law, make or alter such reg.
ulations. except as to the places Of
choosing senator's" The direct cleo
lions amendment that passed the
house takes from congress the power
to alter in any particular the regula,
lions made by q state for the election
of Its senators.
The argument against taking this
power from congress is that congress
would thus be left powerless ito pro.
tect itself against fraud, violence OF
corruption in the methods by which
Its legislative officers are selected"
This argument is either insincere OF
ignorant. Congress will still have
ample power to protect itself against
violence In the election of its mem,
bers, and against corruption and
against fraud. The first paragraph Of
the fifth section Of the first article
of the Constitution provides that
each house shall be the Judge of the
elections, returns and qualifications Of
Its W members" This paragraph
gives congress ample power to protect
itself against fraud, corruption and
violence in elections, or against any
combination or Formulation of the
same. This paragraph is left un'
touched by the direct elections amend.
ment as 1t passed the house.
II any more mares nests can
be discovered by the opponents Of d.
rect elections they would better hurry
up. The time is getting short.

There is only one answer to the
tariff question, and that 10 justice.
Politicians complain that every
tariff law that Is passed means GER
tain defeat at the polls for the party
that passed 1t. The why Is plain
enough. The country knows that the
law was not made in the general In
tere1t, but for special interests.
Not that the people know anything
about the tariff. They know no more
about It than Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Taft. They can't analyze the sched-
ules and detect all the little jokers
concealed in their dreary verbiage.
But they know injustice when they
see It.
This Is the intuition Of a self-gov.
erning people. And the American
people revolt at the sight and smell
Of a secretly made, lobby-framed
tariff, not because they are free
traders, but because Of their passion
for simple fairness.

NEED FOR AN INVESTIGATION
Congress May Well Devote Some Time
and Attention to Dolngs Of Steel
Trust.

That recent ruling Of the Interstate
commerce commission ~forbidding in
creases Of freight rates must have .
bearing. eventually, on the steel busi-
ness.
The one feature Of overmastering
significance In the ruling is the dictum
that the railroads must economize. AZ
important element in railroad expen-
ses is the cost of steel rails. With
prevailing conditions in the market
for products Of steel mills. how can
any economy by exercised In the pur.
chase of rails?
Ever since the days Of John Stuart
Mill the business world has recognised
the principle of supply and demand
as having q controlling influence on
brices-that is, the business world *
cept the steel rail portion thereof.
No matter how great or how small
the demand or the supply, steel rails
f~iuctuate but slightly In price. For
the last ten years-regardless Of the
conditions Of general business-the
price Of steel rails has remained prac-
tically the same. Demand Of railroad
managers may be great or small. The
rail manufacturers may be pushed
with orders: OF they may have an I'm
mense surplus of product on hand. No
matter. Prices remain at practically
tne same point.
Is this condition the result Of arti-
fetal methods of controlling those
prices! Such appears to be the case
And, so 500 as possible after com.
pleting the pressing business before
1t, congress should take up and pass
that resolution to secure radical inves'
tigation of the steel trust!
