Democrat Opposes Taft Censorship.
An important measure pending be-
fore congress is House Resolution
No. 500, introduced by Congress-
man James T. Lloyd of Missouri.
The measure is aimed particularly
at the action of the Taft administra-
ton in prohibiting postal employees
from organizing, and the still more
remarkable Taft policy of denying
civil service employees the right to
petition Congress-, or even to give
members of Congress information un-
til it has first been censored by their
superiors.
The Constitution guarantees to ev-
cry citizen of the United States the
right to petition Congress.
The Lloyd resolution occupies the
novel role, therefore, of having for
its purpose the restoration to govern
ment employees of rights they are en-
titled to under the constitution, but
which rights have been taken away
from them by the President in his
desperate effort to prevent a further
leakage of information injurious to
the Republican party such as occurred
in the Ballinger case.
Consideration for Women.
The cotton bill reported by the
Democratic Ways and Means commit
tee is especially designed to benefit
the women and children of the coun-
try, there being a reduction of more
than IS per cent on nearly every
item in the cotton bill used by them.
DR.. Wiley's Goat.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, storm petrol
between food dopers and the Taft ad-
ministration, has been a militant
government chemist for % years.
Packers of embalmed beef are array
ed against him because of his fight
against the use of benzoate of soda.
Benzoate increases the profits of en-
balmed beef packers because it will
restore" and preserve meats that
have become putrescent. The cost
of manufacture of bologna and
sausage may be materially re-
duced by using water and cere-
ais. Water costs nothing and cereal
is cheaper than meat. The result is
a cheapening of the product and a
lowering of the food value. But
when water and cereal is used the
meat begins to sour. II is to prevent
this souring process that the benzoate
of soda may be used. Chemists de-
clare benzoate is Of no eartly use to
the manufacturer who puts pure food
upon the market.
DR.. Wiley also fought the bleached
flour interests to the last ditch. He
exposed the injurious colorings used
in candies sold to children. He stub
bornly opposed the use Of sulphur rs
. fruit preseryative. He secured the
removal Of the tax on denatured al

HOUSE BACKS UP TAFT.

The quick and decisive action on the part of the House Of Representatives 10 defeat the motion to pass the wool bill over the presidents veto proves that even the democrats in the house believed thee was sufficient cause for the veto being applied
 President Taft. is not vetoiug any measure be they republican or demo- crc tic f they are productive of good for the nation The fact it was due to the help of the democrats that made the reciproC ity bill possible is proof of that
 President Taft stated al the time he believed the democrats were guided by. a higher impulse than that of politics, and he would be guided by the same spirit when it came to a question of signing or vetoing a measure passed by congress
 Knowing the hroadmindedness of the president We are not surprised to learn that a democratic house supported. or backed up a republican executive. II may be the excsptana but Taft is ar exceptional statesman.

INFLUENCE OF OCCUPATION

Luther Burbank's experiment. in try ing to reform a truant by putting him 's~ ms gardens is highly com mended by Charles Sargent. professor 'of arboriculture at Harvard.
 He believes that wayward boys would profit greatly if apprenticed to gar deners, on the theory that association with the beautiful in nature cannot fail to induce moral uplift.
 That there is deep underlying in- fuence in occupation no one will deny Professor Sargent points out the mur- derers come from the ranks of butchers and he advocates avoidance Of choos- ing such work for youths who show evidence Of criminal instincts Like wise he disapproves Of the old method of sending to sea. boys who are too mischievous to be kept at home
 He sees in constant work among flowers and plants a subtle means of cultivating high thoughts and in walk ing in the child a sense of nobility.
 Mir Burbank's human experiment is worth watching IL may be of even greater value to the world than the wonderful results he has produced in the realm of plant life

DO WE NEED FURTHER PROOF.

Now that one of our citizens has been electrocuted, We wonder if the mem bers Of the city council are in need of further proof that an ordinance for is necessary.
 Early in the summer or late in the spring certain electricians called the attention Of the council to the great danger due to improper wiring. and asked that an ordinance be passed re- gulating this abuse some such ordi- nance was ordered drafted. but owing tO the procrastinating disposition on the part Of the people to whom th, matter was referred it has never been drafted or presented to the council for passage.
 lt is fact that several people have ben shocked .lDsss.~~ ,1..- s.s- other than electric lines being charged having in some manner or form come in contact with live wires. It is also q fact the attention of the present coun- oil has time and again been called to the improper wiring of houses and stringing of wires carrying deati to all who come in contact with them, yet they have allowed the matter to be put off hoping that no accident would oc- "ur. or the people would forget all about it

 Without any eNaEgeration the rlrc- tric wiring of Nome IS without paral- iel in the world. In larger cities a net work of guide wires are placed below high tension wires Ia protect other lines below used for telephone. or other purposes where persons on the line would be in danger of receiving death dealing shock Here in Nome. electric lines and high tension wires carving death are strung in a way that is nothing short of criminal. yet We can not blame The companies when the members of the city council win allow such to go on even after their atten- ton has been called 10 it.

AN ENcLIsHMANs TRIBUTE TO
REPRESENTATIVE AMERICANS

Al criticism of the addresses of Jo-
seph Choate, lately issued by the Cen
fury Company, appears in the Chicago
Record Herald, and contains the fol-
lowing paragraph: America" wrote
one Englishman, commenting regret
fully upon Choate's departure, should
not send us such charming, cultivated,
broad-gauged men. Adams, Lowell,
Phelps, Bayard, Hay and Choate-
what other country, has sent us repre-
sentatives to compare with them? The
capacity of a long line of American
ambassadors to warm both hands at
the cheerful fire of English existence
has been so palpable, their interest
has been so manifestly stretched be-
yond the hunl-drum game of protocols
and dispatches, they touch life at so
many more points of interest than the
ordinary professional diplomat, that
we should hardly know what to do if
the United States accredited to the
Court of st. James any one snort or
her best. A tongue-tied, unsociable,
purely official American ambassador
has become unthinkable to this coun-
try. We calmly take it for granted
that the representative of the United
States, whoever he may be, will be
first class after-dinner speaker and
able and willing at any time to deliv-
er an address, preside at meeting or
unveil a monument. And so, invaria-
bly,, he is! Why, then, should we not
use him for our profit and entertain
ment?"

INTERNATIONAL PEACE in SIGHT

Mr.. Charles e. Beals. field secretary
of the Chicago Peace Society, III an
address, "Are We Nearing the Goal in
the Peace Movement? before west.
|ern woman's club, stated that, despite
the vast amounts expended for war
purposes in this country, the goal for
which peace advocates have striven
for so many years will soon be reach
led.
Evidence of how near the goal
really isl he said, lis shown in the
rapid multiplication of peace societies
in all parts of this country, Japan,
Russia and Turkey. Moreover. the
older societies are larger, more III
fuenential, better financed AMI strong
Ter in every way than ever before.
Socialism and organized labor now
are great international forces, and are
solidly anti-militaristic. Trade is be-
coming more and more International
lied, and that alone shows how near
the-long-sought-for goal is, for bust
ness requires peace for it's successful
prosecution.
THE arbitration habit is growing
stronger with each passing year.. as
is evidenced by the many important
cases recently settled by The Hague
arbitration court. This is the modern
and now habitual method of settling
international disputes and the various
nations of the world are just on the
eve of settling up permanent inter-
national court of justice, which prob
ably will be in operation before the
third Hague conference assemblies.
International and intergovernmental
enterprises are rapidly increasing in
Ipower every decade because of the
peace movement. The Hague confer
ence, which will meet for it's third
session in 1915, is an incipient world
parliment, and the joint commission,
now being organized by the various
governing powers, and which will re-
port in 1914, probably will devise
some basis of general agreement and
concerted action of all powers where
by the race for armament supremacy
may be halted.
'The great evolution forces are
working in that direction of world
peace, and is is we'll within the bounds
of sober reasoning to expect that by
1915 we shall have reached the goal
in the peace movement. Chicago

The Legislature Stop Watch.

Editor +. +. Howe Of the Bennington
Banner, speaker Of the Vermont House,
comments as follows concerning the leg.
islature time lock:
"The legislature appears to have fin
ally tired out the newspaper reporters.
At least none of them appear to have
been able to tell the exact time Of the
final adjournment, which was at ll5
Sunday morning by standard time and
at ll;55 Saturday night by the official
clocks of the House and Senate"
We have never taken much stock in
the attempts Of legislative bodies to
juggle with time by manipulating the
hands of timepieces. Our lawmakers
enact legislation that requires people
to do things within certain period and
in the event Of failure the penalty is
often burdensome But the example
they set in changing the time is not
helpful
One OF the chief objects OF legislation
regarding conduct is to help people to
be honest, and yet legislatures and Con
crosses do not hesitate to belittle laws
and make byword Of legislation in
some directions by calling the next day
or the next hour the present, or calling
the present what is already past
One Of the most menacing tendencies
