In your issue of July 9 DR.. Nicho-
las Murray Butler Is quoted as fol-
lows:
The high cost Of living Is world
wide, existing In low tariff countries
as well as in high tariff nations. The
causes are threefold-the increased
supply Of gold, the enormous shifting
of population from the country dis
tricts to the cities, which decreases
the number Of producers and in
creases the numbee Of consumers, and
the third and chief cause is shorten
ing the hours Of labor. thus decreas-
ing the production and increasing the
consuming capacity"
This Ia all true as far as he goes.
But DR.. Butler misses the very point
Of the argument, as applied to the
United States, when he fails to say
that the excessively high tariff in the
United States is directly responsible
for the enormous and hurtful shift
ing Of population from the country
districts to the cities.
This 1t is that Is making labor 80
scarce in the country districts and
decreasing SO largely what our food
products ought to be In comparison
to our ever-increasing total popula.

Hence Governor Wilson Is entirely
correct when he says that the high
cost OF living and the excessively
high tariff are interminably linked

A letter from John D, Archbold |

Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania
October 10, 1904, indicates that
check for $4,000 was sent upon |
date by the Standard OIL man to 81
ator Penrose.
BY q strange coincidence one II
odore Roosevelt was at that partl
lar time a candidate on the Rep,
lican ticket for president Of the VI
ed States, and one Of his most act|
supporters then was the same s.
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania. 4

discover at that time. John P. Ell
was q candidate for justice Of the
preme court, his Democratic op|
nent being Samuel Cuisine Thol
son, whose candidacy was not tall
seriously by anyone in Pennsylval
or elsewhere.
Can 1t be possible that Penrose
licited that $4,000 from the Stand

interests of the candidacy Of Th
dore Roosevelt? Penrese should

BACK TO DEMOCRACY
nm THIS CRISIS IT Is coUNTRYs
ONLY HOPE.
To Be Free From Demaaosues Of the
Roosevelt Stripe There Must Be
q Return to Proper
Principles.

There IL an excuse for Theodore
which should be fully un-
derstood.
The American people are not partial
to third terms. They r not natural
ly inclined to embrace necessary men
They have many reasons for distrust-
ing the person who now assumes to
lead them into strange paths.
They know that he Is willful, i'm
Of restraint, loose In state
ment, fond Of power and d~ictatorial.
They know that he Graves applause
and enjoys attention. They know
that almost any man who IL cheeky,
clever and INSCRIPTIONS can recruit a
noisy following from the ranks of
the unstable and the reckless.
It is violence and violence alone
that gives Theodore Roosevelt pow.
81. BY this means he enlists support
which otherwise could not be had. BY
this means he makes men forget the
streaks and stripes in his career. By
new sensations and new terrors he
renews interest in himself daily. It
Is no new art that he practices. It 10
the old. old art Of demogogy.
But there ID an excuse for MI.
Roosevelt the same as there Il an ex-
cuse for a lynching party. Where law
is enforced and Justice prevails mobs
do not assemble and dictatorships are
not proposed. When mischief Is afoot
those whose social responsibilities are
few do not inquire closely into the
motives Of its authors.
Attached as most Americans r to
order and law, they nevertheless have
shown from the beginning a willing
ness On occasion to make short cuts.
to use force and to palliate despotic
deeds. 1t Ia to this spirit that Mr..
Roosevelt appeals. 1t Ii a people dis
couraged and desperate. a people be-
trayed. a people disorganized and lead
erless, a people almost persuaded to
repudiate law, that the demagogue
addresses. He will be heard until .
better and truer man gains attention.
The excuse for Roosevelt il to be
found in the perfidy Of his OWE party
and the uncertainty that has existed
as to the policy and leadership Of the
Democratic party. The antidote here

poison Of force and absolutism 10 a
fierce and fighting Democracy, attach

pledges and infexibly the champion Of

IT is customary for Mr.. Richeson to

he has been eating well. On Wednesdays
and Fridays during Lent he has eaten
