FROM OTHER PENS
ENJOYING OURSELVES.

The New York Times observes that
in 1910 the cost of so-called luxuries
INDUCED in by Americans included
these items: Jewelry, $30O,O00.O00;
confectionery, $365.00O,0OO; automo-
|biles, $496,000, 600; tobacco, $45O.000,-
900; alcoholic drinks, $1,745, 100000;
total, $3,365,300,00 "Waste, extrav-
agance." howl the economists and the
moralists. Yes, there is percentage
of waste due to overindulgence and to
overcharges by retailers, particularly
in the matter of liquid refreshments.
But this waste, comparatively speak
ing, is only incidental. Money spent
for Creature comforts and luxuries is
not necessarily wasted. A life mar
rowed down to the bare necessities is
a very colorless, burdensome sort of
existence. 1t is a question whether
overindulgence on the whole is worse
than underindulgence. The figures
quoted show some odd things. Appar-
emily they prove that the American
woman is fonder of candy than she is
of jewelry, which may, as one pleaSes,
either be considered an indication that
she has an unusual love for things that
tickle the palate. or a proof that she
has begun to discount the barbarlc
array. The figures for tobacco are not
relatively high when one considers that
both sexes now indulge in the weed to
q considerable extent. Except possibly
in one instance the figures are encour-
aging rather than otherwise. because
they reveal an optimistic spirit In the
people. As a rule pessinists are not
en-handed.-Detroit Free Press.

themselves wise when their ignorance

SOME REACTIONS.

The tendency of political develop
ment is toward a fuller popular ex-
pression-toward the rule of the peo-
pie, instead of the rule of the poiltl-
clans. Against this tendency the re-
actionists in both parties have set their
faces. They cannot win. Their doom
is read in the stars.
The divine right of kings is fast go
ing and so is the rule of the political
gangster. He is dying hard. He Is
grasping at straws. One can see 1t IN
the legislature-in the opposition TO
the popular election of United states
senators, the popular nomination OF
state senators. and the nonpoiitical Sc
lection of candidates for judges.
What is the use of fighting these
things? They are bound to come. The
people must be consulted. They want
no go-betweens in the political ar
rangement. They want the political
machine entirely cut out of the pri-
mary. What is the use of our edu-
cational system, of paying millions out
to prepare people to vote and turn
the job over to men to get office for
themselves and their dependents

This telegram was signed by Senat-
ors Bacon, Foster, Overman, Taliafer-
70, Payne, Bankhead, Johnson, Taylor,
Watson and Fletcher.
While Senator Bailey predicted his
resignation upon the vote of the DEM
ocrats on the Arizona constitution,
many of his friends looked upon that
vote as the ''last straw" in a series of
snubs intended to show Bailey the fu-
Utility of aspiring to the democratic
leadership of the senate.
Close observers of recent develop
ments in the senate know that the
movement against him has been grow
ing on the democratic side during the
last few weeks, and many people here
believe now that the filibuster led BY
Senator Stone of Missouri and backed
by a large democratic following was
due partly to desire to show Bale:
that his influence was waning.
By Withdrawing his objections to the
tariff board bill in order to get an
agreement for vote on the Lorimer
contest, Bailey alienated considerable of
his following.
When the Lorimer- tariff board com
pact was made it was the belief on the
republican side that there would not
be a flibuster against the legislative
portion of the agreement. Otherwise,
the insurgent republicans who were
united against Lorimer, would not have
agreed to the arrangement. The vote
was taken on the Lorimer case, and al
most Immediately obstructive tactics
were begun by democrats against the
tariff board bill. The only explanation
Senator Bailey could make was that he
was unable to call off his colleagues.
In this state of affairs it took little
to arouse his anger to flame. All it
needed was the open slap given him to-
day when he advised against the adop-
ton of the Owen motion in regard to
the Arizona statehood Although that
motion was defeated, its defeat was due
entirely to republican votes.

surrounding the adjournment OF The six

Texas, and few hours later withdraw

Angered by the attitude of his demo-
cratic colleagues in favoring the resolu..
ton approvigin the new constitution OF
Arizona, to whose radical features Bal
ley has declared his undying opposi-
ton, he wrote his resignation and took
it to the vice president with the request
that he announce it to the senate. Sher-
man declined to have anything to do
with it, and Senator Bacon, impounded
in like manner to announce it, took a
similar position.
Thereupon the Texan telegraphed ie
to Governor o. B. Colquitts of Texas,
who promptly refused to accept it, re-
plying as follows:
II decline to accept your resignation
as senator from Texas, and respectfully
ask you to withdraw it. Please wire
fully"
Meanwhile the resignation was the
subject of excited discussion about the
capitol. Many of Bailey's democratic
colleagues expressed surprise at his ac-
ton, and those who talked with him
urged him to reconsider his action. Not
few prophesied that he would think
better Of his decision latter he cools
