WASHINGTON, March l6, 1911.
Dear Dad-Popular government Is
TO be a live topic OF debate in the SEN
ate at the extra session. The an
nouncement by Senator Bailey that
he opposes the initiative, referendum
and recall, and is particularly anxious
TO defeat the ARIZONA constitution. Is
singularly fortunate for the cause OF
popular government Mr. Bailey Is
coming TO be understood In his true
capacity as paid attorney for the spe-
cial interests, and the fight Is thus
made more clear between special
privilege and peoples rule.
IL Is quite a new idea-this one that
the senate OF the United States can
dictate what will be the fundamental
law adopted by the people Of a state
for their own government. Maine,
normally Republican state. adopted
the initiative, referendum and recall;
half dozen other states have done
the same, and more states are about
TO do so. How does IL come about
that members OF the United States
senate like Senator Bailey suddenly
find themselves superior to the peo-
pie OF state and assume TO dictate
as TO what kind OF constitution tho
various states shall have? Isn't IL re-
markable. when you come 10 think

Another Nicaraguan incident"
The nomination OF n progressive
candidate for president in 1912 Is
becoming more probable every day.
The Taft-and.sure-defeat idea Is
spreading.
When President Monroe announced
his famous doctrine practically every
Latin-American country on the contin-
ent was I'm the midst OF struggles for
independence from European domino
ton. They were attempting TO set up
Independent republics. The European
nations were casting covetous eyes
on these weak and revolutionary
states. but the latter were protected
from interference by the well known
announcement by the president or the
United States. that the United States
having just pulled of revolution or
her own and achieved her independ-
ence-we would make IL our business
TO see fair play and would tolerate
no interference by a monarchial ma
ton In the internal affairs OF the re-
publics on this continent. Somebody
ought to explain to Secretary Knox
this chapter in our history. He seems
to think that the Monroe doctrine
means intervention by the United
States in the affairs Of weaker nations
on the American continent at the be-
hest OF Wall-st.
Now that Mr.. Ballinger has retired.
IL may be expected that President
Taft will reply TO the open letter OF
Senator LaFollette, touching the
fraudulent Cunningham coal claims.
Or will he?

Revision of Wool Schedule.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house of representatives
today began drafting the revised
tariff schedule of wool, which would
be submitted to the democratic eau
Gus for ratification. That the wool
bill would be ready for the caucus
probably within the week was the
opinion of democratic leaders.
Advocates of free raw wool were not
as confident today as they heretofore
had expressed themselves that the re-
vised schedule would place the raw
material on the free list. Extraord-
mary pressure has been brought to
bear on conserv alive leaders to secure
UNANIMOUS approval of the compromise
bill and these leaders insist that such
a bill would meet with caucus ap.
proval. Such bill might provide q
tariff of about five or six cents q
pound on raw wool, with provision Of
q cent reduction each year until the
raw product eventually would get on
the free list, and cut OF 40 to 80 pei
cent in manufactured woolen goods.
