jenkins was an eminently respecta-
BILE bachelor of forty.
One day he received an invitation to

suburbs for dinner and the night. The

man in it, to say nothing of several
impish children. and his own solitary
apartments was appalling. In his own

There were constant opening and

ton made in connection with Ike"
Stephenson's election.
The committee does not milce its
words. "A large part of the money
distributed in the Stephenson cam
paign, probably a sum in excess of
$4,000 it says, was used by
Stephenson managers to unlawfully
and corruptly procure the nomination
and election Of Senator Stephenson to
the United States senate.
Further, Stephenson was elected
by the legislature by a majority of
three votes, while the charges Of cor
ruption against him were being in
vestigated by the legislature.
I'm addition to the several acts of
corruption and fraud herein referred
to, IL should be remembered that the
election of Stephenson on March 4
was made possible by three demo
Gratis, who, at the instigation OF the
Stephenson managers and agents,
walked out OF the joint assembly
when IT became known that their pre-
sence prevents the election of Stephen
son."
The senator is accused OF personal
" participating in AN act Of bribery
or attempted bribery and the com
mittee calls for his sInseating.
Whatever the outcome of the report
shall be, dt serves to cali attention
afresh to the fact that as long as

legislatures there will be bribery and
rumors Of bribery. The election Of

The Recall IL Vital.

All these arguments for and against

well said that the very existence of a
low recall percentage makes its use
unnecessary.

This credit, Clark asserts, belongs to
Judge William L. Springer of 1lii-
nois, who was chairman of the ways
and means committee in the SIND
congress. The house passed several
of his then called pop gun bills,
but the senate refused TO pass them.
Springer was democrat and the
democrats swept the country in the
next election.
History repeats itself, and if the
democrats shall pass schedule re-
vision bills, which the republican
senate shall then refuse to pass, the
election of a democratic president in
1912 will be assured. AS to what
we may look forward to in tariff leg
islation in the next house, there is
the opinion of Clark to indicate. He
says:
81 should say the policy of the
house democrats in this tariff reyi-
sion will be to cut out the monstros-
tiles and injustices from the tariff
law as quickly as we can. The tariff
should be revised to give a maxi
mum amount of revenue with the
least burdensome tax possible.
Duties must be levied for revenue
purposes, Of course. and the tariff
for revenue man does not quarrel
with the incidental protection this
may give up to a certain point. 1t is
when the standpatter raises the
duties SO high that the revenue de-
creases that we get 'hig protection
and suffer from a prohibitive tariff
and heavy taxes on food and the COM
mon necessities of life. The demo-
cratic effort, should say, would be
to return to normal tariff condi-
tons"
There are some who will consider
that Mr.. Clark could have been more
definite in his statement. He indi-
Gates clearly. however, that there will
be no attempt to establish the pol
icy of free trade, and that while the
tariff will be left in some respects
protective, this will be the effect and
not the aim of the democratic pol
icy. the aim being to provide rev.
enues suficient for the needs OF gov
eminent and no more.

Peace and the Finano:ers.

DR.. David Starr Jordan OF Leland
Stanford university has advanced the
opinion that war may be prevented
by the great fnanciers If they will
simply refuse to make war loans to
the nations which wish To go to war.
In other words that the war spirit
may be starved out by withholding
that upon which II feeds.
This looks reasonable in view of the
fact that the flnanciers recognize
that the conservation OF property is
one OF the greatest requisites in the
fostering OF prosperity and that war is
tremendously destructive OF property
But when the clash comes and desrruc-
ton seems inevitable then the fnan-
cier wishes TO put his money where. in
time, there will be a prospect of get
ting II back.
There is no question that wars have
been averted IN the past by the inabil-
ity of belligerents TO secure loans.
but there come times when such con-
siderations fail to bridge over a crisis
and some strong and wealthy nation
p'unges into war with another not so
well supplied. The time has not vet
