INTERPRETING HIM.

Some of our esteemed republican
contemporaries are asking what the
Colonel can possibly mean by this
remark: Il think we are going to
win the fight this year, but, If we do
not, we are in for three years, OF the
war"
We will tell them what he means.
He means that he is going to make
a third term party out of the repub-
licans and that if he cannot do 1t
this year he will keep right at it year
in and year out as long as he lives
While many of us will sympathize
with the brethren we do not intend
to lose any sleep over the matter. In
their discord and discontinue it is
easy to read Democratic triumph
and progress. A political party that
will do so much as consider third
term deserves destruction.
There always has been an element
among the republicans that favored
Caesarism. 1t has leader now in
Mr.. Roosevelt, and his announce
ment that he intends to continue the
agitation can be interpreted in no
other way than that the democrats
are going to carry all the important
elections in this country for about
thirty years to come.-St. Louis Re-

EXPLANATION THAT FAILS TO
EXPLAIN.

Adherents of the president are at
tempting to explain his crushing de-
feat in the Illinois primaries by as
sorting that local conditions, such as
LOrimerism are responsible. 1t IS
not an explanation in Illinois more
than it is in North Dakota. Wher-
ever the presidents demand for an
other term has been put directly up
to the people the answer has been
the same. The voters have firmly and
Enthusiastically refused to endorse 1t.
If there is explanation it is that re-
pudiation of Lorimerism is not local
but general, that Ballingerism and
Lorimerism and Aldrichism and Can
nonism and a multitude OF other
isms repugnant to the voters have
been connected in the minds OF the
people with the past administration
to create opposition to the demand
that the president shall be contln-
ued in office four years longer. An
alysis of. the Illinois vote precinct
by precinct and county by county
makes plainly evident that the voters
were distinctly opposed to Taft and
so cast their ballots. All over the
state the ratio of opposition was
three to one against it. In many
parts of the state it ran to almost
solid opposition. The vote was per-
haps cast more against Taft than 1t
was for Roosevelt. Primarily it was
cast for the movement which had
aligned itself upon Roosevelt
through his term of office and
against the Taft conception OF the
movement as the Roosevelt legatee.
1t was so in North Dakota where the
expression found it's object in La
Toilette. 1t was so in Illinois. 1t is
so wherever the voters have been
permitted to exprss preference in
presidential primary.
1t is we'll to bear in mind when
canvassing the Illinois returns that
the Taft managers were not afraid
of the result of presidential pri-
mary in that state. While they did
not welcome it they agreed to ii with
the expectation of carrying the state
handily. 1t was an important point
and there was nothing left undone
to further the presidents interests.
1t was the state of the chairman OF
the national committee and Taft's
manager. Still in McKinley's dis
trict the reputation of the second
term proposition was decisive and
not to be mistaken.
There is but one explanation OF
the popular refusal to endorse the
president for another term. The
voters of the party do not want him.
With all due Difference to the presi-
dent and his many fine qualities this
is a business proposition. The party
is to succeed or be defeated in close
contest this year by the votes of the
very men who are so decidedly voic-
ing their protest against his renomi-
nation. The only explanation is that
the popular vote Of the republican
party is opposed to Taft as it's stand
ard bearer in this campaign and that
his nomination forecasts defeat at
the polls. With this fact glazing
upon the convention will it name Mr..
Taft to lead a fight which promises
to be the closest the republican party
has waged against it's opposition for
many years? Considering only party
success, would it be good politics?

DELIvERANCE AT HAND.

1t gives us pleasure to announce
that the suggestion recently made in
these columns that possibly Mr..
Roosevelt present object is to put
the republican party out of business
rs accepted as literally true by Mr..
Taft's campaign managers. =.
Like rain in desert, like food in
a administration land are the COM
fcrt:ns words Of Director Mckinley.
He rejoices our souls. He gives us
aid and comfort. He fills us with
THANKSGIVING. We could not have
stated our suspicion and our. hope in
language more pointed than that
which he now uses:
'The deliberate, reckless and NELL
dacious campaign OF Theodore
Roosevelt for the wrecking Of the
republican party is called to the at
tention Of the country in order that
the issues may hereafter be under
stood"
There are several millions of DEM
ocrats in the United States who will
grasp the situation without another
word. They had an idea at first that
Brother Roosevelt had hostile inten-
lions against dAu CAOy
naturally were inclined to be distant
and resentful. When it dawned up
on them that possibly the gentleman
was aiming elsewhere they unbent a
little. Now that it seems certain
that he has undertaken the back
breaking work which they have had
in hand for many years they cannot
fail to assume an attitude of benev-
olence and appreciation toward him.
There is not going to be any third
term this year or any other, but the
destruction of the republican party
is mission that properly enough
has all seasons for it's own. While
democrats marvel they cannot fail
to applaud. ! Who are we that we
should ascribe motives or express
doubt? 1t is evident that our deliv-
erer is at hand.-St Louis Republic.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

(By Charles H. Tavener, special
Washington correspondent of The
Reporter.)
Washington, April 20.-The rail-
roads of the country have inaugural
ed campaign to increase freight
rates over territory comprising prac-
tically half of the United States.
Not satisfied with an arrangement
which permits them to pay enormous
dividends on a capitalization that is
largely composed of water, the roads
intend to still further enrich their
stockholders at the expense of the
people.
Two years ago the Interstate Com
merce commission refused to allow
the roads to increase their rates.
Now these same roads, through in
direction and by piecemeal, are try
ing to accomplish the very thing the
commission told them they could
not do. AS part of the strategy of
the roads, they have filed with the
commission a new classification OF
freights, that is: they have sub
mitted a plan whereby certain arti-
Giles of one class, on which certain
rate is allowed, have been dumped"
into class above, carrying higher
rate. All told, more than 1,400 ar
ticles have been thus classified, and
if the commission permits this ar
rangement to go into effect the peo-
pie simply will have to pay more to
have these articles hauled. The pro-
posed increases range from ten to
three hundred per cent. -.
The roads, in submitting the new
classification plan, were careful to
reduce the rate on a certain number
of articles. apparently for the pur-
pose Of detracting attention from

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.
Meeting of Eighth District Democ-
rats for General Conference.

The democrats of the eighth con-
gressional district held an informal
conference at the Summit house yes
terday for the purpose of talking
over the situation in this district.
Among those present outside OF
Union county were H. T. Chapman OF
Prescott, candidate for representa-
tive in Adair county, H. F. Hull Of
Corning, candidate for state senator
in that district, j. B. Blackburn OF
Prescott, Editor Weisell of Corning,
Mr.. Patten of Lenox, J. L. Menden-
hall, clerk of the district court of
Decatur county, A. NJ. Pryor of Leon,
candidate for representative OF De-
catur county, Hon. V. R. McGinnis
of Leon, candidate for congress, M.
l.. Thompson Of Van Vert, Patrick
Griffin of Grand River and Hon.
Frank Stuart of Charlton.
The general feeling over the dis
trict was reported as looking very
favorable to the democratic party
this fall.
There was some discussion over
The congressional situation in this
district and while all appeared very
friendly to Mr.. Wall of Osceola, it
was the general feeling of the con-
ference that Mr.. McGinnis should en-
ter the race for congress in this dis
trict. Mr.. McGinnis said that in
Difference to the expressed wish Of
democrats from all over the district
he had consented to the use of his
name at the primaries and if nomi-
mated would do what he could to
secure the election. The necessary
petitions for his candidacy will be
filed the first of the week.-Creston

ARE WE TOO LIBERAL WITH
PENSIONS?

While no one will begrudge lib
eral pension to any veteran or sur
viving dependent of a soldier wound
ed in the service of his country, it
seems intolerable that forty-six years
after the close of the civil war the
enormous sum of $153, 6S2, 900
should be spent in single year for
pensions. In 1909 the pension list
cost $164,826,2S7.
Since 1890 our pension appropria-
tions have been in excess of $780,
100000 annually, and since 1908 in
called Sherwood bill becomes law,
more than 1926, 100000 will be
necessary to meet our pension
budget for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913.
These figures are the more i'm
pressive when we consider the mill
tary appropriations of various Euro
pean countries. In 1910 our pen
sion expenditures amounted to
$162,631,729.94 For the same
year England expended $29,397,26S;
France expended $31 ,960,607; the
German Empire, $40,805,814; Aus
tria, $2O,531,668; Hungary, So
49S,737. The total expenditures of
these five European nations for that
year combined were $129,194, 094,
or $50, 100000 less than those of the
United States alone.
= For 1911, the survivors of the
civil war on the Union side drew PEN
sions aggregating $14S,231,665,
while in the southern states
the survivors of the Confederate
siden drew but $5,780,S33. l
Virginia the Union veterans in that
year drew $1,489,553, while the
Confederate veterans drew but $3.50,
900. In Louisiana the sum of
81 ,024,613 was disbursed among
Union veterans, and but $4,000
among the Confederate veterans.
Not the least Objectionable fea-
ture of our pension system is the
fact that from twenty-five to thirty
per cent of our pensioners enjoy an
annual net income of more than
1000. In the southern states the
pension roll is based primarily upon
need. Yet despite the liberality, the
extravaganza OF our general pension
system, the sixty-first congress, which
adjourned March 4, 1911, enacted
a,649 bills granting original or in
creased pensions by special act.
In 1872 President Garfield, then a
member of the house of representa-
tives said
I'VE may reasonably expect that
the expenditures for pensions will
hereafter steadily decrease, unless
our legislation should be nnaccount-
ably extravagant.
The pension list for 1872 amount
ed to $3O,703,999. In 1912, forty
years later, we are devoting $780,
$4,000 to this item-fve times that
amount. Our pension appropria-
lions from 1866 to 1911 have
amounted to the staggering total of
$4,254,816,147, or almost a billion
dollars more than the total expendi-
lures of the government during the
years of war. And despite these
enormous expenditures the house of
Representatives has within the past
sfew months passed general pen
sion bill calling for an additional an
Tual appropriation of $75,0OO,O00,
at conservative estimate. This
bill. is now pending in the senate.
Our largest single expenditure is
