EAST SEES Bos LOOM UP STRONG

Philadelphia Public Leger.
Would any one be surprised If LaFol-
lette had more votes than Roosevelt in
the national convention?
This may sound like hdicrous idea,
so thoroughly has the east become i'm
bued with the notion that LaFollette is
out of the race But the question has
been asked in an seriousness here and
not by Taft or LaFollette men. The
Wisconsin candidate has manifested I'M
expected staying powers. In the holly
Progressive" states of the west he is
more Of a popular favorite than Roose-
Welt. and even where he does not win a
state in the primaries there is no GER
tainty that the Roosevelt men viii not
switch to him, even as they switched
from him to Roosevelt when he went
"down and out from overwork and
worry.
"IaFonette is a wonder, a Roose-
welt man admitted. "What other man
on earth could collapse as he did, not
only physically but politically, and
come back so soon as he has? / think
Roosevelt has reason to reckon with
him even more than with Taft.
The LaFollette men, of course, claim
that Roosevelt viii be third in the bal
loting, with LaFollette second. That
sort Of claim is to be expected. The
queer thing is that men who do not be-
long to their camp are not sneering
at the claim.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
louisville Times.

LOUISVILLE lInes.
We have been told by Mr.. Harrison
that cheap coat makes a cheap
man, " and the whole power of congress
has been invoked to protect our cheap
men; men with low wages and made
quate clothes from the cheap coat.
The whole system of protection is
designed to increase the cost Of living.
When it succeeds we express surprise
then alarm.
We clamor for free silver to put up
prices. We get cheap gold gold in
abundance, gold from every quarter,
and we marvel that prices go up.
We multiply offices, vastly increase
expenses; we investigate, inspect, cur
tail supplies, stife competition; we
want pure food, regardless of cost,
then we marvel at the increased exc
pense of living.
We increase taxes; we build warships
and Panama canals; we spend 600 mill
lions on rivers and harbors: 100 millions
on good roads, which disintegrate in
winter that we may rebuild them in
summer, and we marvel because we
find it difficult to make both ends meet.
We pass patent laws to give to in
ventors cast iron monopoly and curse
the monopolists for exercising the UNI
restricted privileges we confer; and do
not know what it is that has increased
the cost of living
We pass international copyright laws
and increase the postage on all cheap
books; we charge for newspaper post
age twice what Canada charges; we
propose to double this expense; yet we
wonder that it costs more for every
item in our living expenses, and we
grumble because the cheap books of
England put ours to shame.
The law of cause and effect? Go to;
that has been repealed by congress of
American economists, who believe and
teach that we can make something out
of nothing; coin a vacuum, tax debts,
squander money recklessly and then
make it all square by issuing bonds,
multiplying credits and passing a new
currency bill.
The problem of the high cost of liv-
ing will be solved when we know more
of the cost of high living, personally
and nationally.

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS LIKELY
President-Elect Wilson Said
10 Have Made Up His Mind
After Taking Counsel
BY Interna tlonal News Service.

BY nterna llondl News service.
PRINCETON, n. j.. Nov. l5.-All
Indications point to the calling of q
special session of congress as soon as
President. elect Wilson is sworn into
office. 1t can be said that the pres.
ident-elect has now arrived at conclu-
sion after canyassing as many members
Of congress as possible and rs many
Of the Democratic leaders Of the coun.
hclv. That he Will announce his plans
within a short time is the general opin.
ion of those who have been watching
his course.
Up TO the present. however, the gov
ernor has not publicly committed him
self, either for or against the plan. The
assumption that he favors an extra
session is based upon the hints he has
dropped from time to time, notably the
statement he made Yesterday to the
delegation which invited him to speak
at Charlotte, n. c., on May 20, when
he gave as a reason for putting off his
reply the fact that an extra session, if
called. wonld cover that date and keep
him in Washington.
While avoiding discussion Of an cX-
Lra session, the governor Lonlgnt TOOK
occasion TO declare with emphasis that
he proposed TO carry out the pledges
made in his campaign speeches with
regard 10 the tariff aud monopolies
The governor was speaking of his mail
whom he made tins statement:
~ am going through the pile Of
mail as rapidly as possible, lie said
EI am about half way through now
and ] find that there have been very
few suggestions about an extra session
or about the cabinet. The letters so
far have been almost entirely Of con
gratulatory character. Nobody seems
TO think it necessary to think about
questions Of tariffs or monopolics.
