 But the real father was neither of them. To George H. Maxwell, more 1 than to any other man, must be ac- corded the credit for the great irriga- tion projects which the government has established. And, next iu this great work coming before either Mr Roosevelt, are the great transcontin- enta1 railroads and the large nlanu- featuring concerns of the east from whom MT. Maxwell secured the funds that enabled him to overcome the hos tile sentiment against national aid. The irrigation act in it's original form, as it was presented by MT. Hans borough and MT. Newlands and as it was supported by President Roose- welt would have been of little service to the people of Arizona. Under it the Salt River and Yuma projects could not have been undertaken for it was intended only for the reclama- tion of such lands as belonged to the government.
 More hostile sentiment against the aiding of settlers had to be overcome and at the last moment, MT. Maxwell secured an amendment so as to make the act applicable to lands in private ownership.

WANTED A GENUINE PARCELS
 POST
lN M American |

(N. Y. Amer1can.)
 | The House Committee on Post Of fees is planning a bill for very lim- | ited and temporary adventure toward a parcels post, and intends to incor- porate it's scheme into the general ap- propriations bill. Moreover, there is much vague talk about creating a Con- gressional commission to investigate the subject. All this is sorely trying to the patience of the country. What the people want and expect is a gen. uine and thoroughgoing parcels post bill, standing on it's own feet and not attached as rider to any other bill. And the talk of a commission to in vestigate the subject at this late date is inept, and is easily seen to be. a mere subterfuge to delay action.
 There is hardly an American citi- zen at the remotest crossroads who does not know that our postal laws concerning the carrying of packages are an outrage and fraud. No po- litical party can afford to face the country next November without being sound and straightforward on this sub- ject. The House Democrats have their record to make in this matter, with millions of very much interested Americans looking on. Now is the time to make it.

THE FATHERS ON RECALL
(Saturday Evening Post)

(SaCurQay EVen1pS HOSC) As to tenure of office of members of Congress, the first Constitution of these United States provided, in Ar. ticle V: Delegates shall be annually appointed in such manner as the leg islature of each state shall direct to meet in Congress on the first Mon day in November in every year, with a power reserved to each state to re- call it's delegates, or any of them, at any time within the year and to send others in their stead
 Some of the ablest among the fram- CTS of the present Constitution in- sisted that members of the House of Representatives should stand for re- election every year, that their consti- tuents might retain firm hold over them. Gerry declared the people of New England would never surrender the principle of annual election of rep resentatives. The Fathers debated long before adopting the compromise of a two-year term. Recall, in short, is by no means the newfangled and un-American invention of Insurgents which it's opponents describe it as be- ing.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AS A FIGHTER
 Arizona Star

Mr. Roosevelt has sought to give the impression that he is a fighter. He says he is. His supporters say he is, and a few years ago majority of the people of this country thought he was, and many think so yet, though they do not know they think so But those of us who more closely watched ev- ents, were early led to suspect that he was a buffer rather than fighter and we were at last brought face to face with the most convincing evil dence that he was the most easily pan ic-stricken quitter that ever occupied the White House.
 The weakness of MT. Roosevelt in this respect was disclosed in two con spicuous instances in 1866. The first was in the case of the Philippines tariff bill prepared by MT. Taft then secretary of war, out of his intimate knowledge of the neds of the islands. The measure was a meritorious one, but it met the opposition of the sugar trust and the tobacco trust. Speak CT Cannon, however, jammed it thru the house without amendment and it was Sent to the senate where the two trusts made another stand on more ad- vantageOus ground.
 Word was sent to the White House by members of the so-called oligar- chy that with a few changes the bill would be acceptable. MT. Roosevelt replied furiously that he would not submit to an amendment of the meas ure in the slightest particular. He caused his reply to be printed in all the Washington newspapers. This was precisely what the '"gray wolves" wanted The document went into pigeon hole whence it has never been extricated though, month later, MT. Roosevelt capitulated and signified his readiness to accept the proposed am- It was too late.

CLARK A REAL DEMOCRAT
CWashington. D. e.. New.

Washington, D. C., NewS)
 The practical elimination of Wood row Wilson from the race for the dem ocratic nomination for president has caused many of the former governor S adherents to look about for candi- date who has all of Wilson's qualii- cations and none of his faults. In the Speaker of the House of Represents tives-Champ Clark-the democratic party has such, candidate. Start ing at the foot of the ladder. Clark, by his ability and persistency in fight ing the battles of the people, has aris- en to the highest honor at present in the gift of his party-the leadership of the House of Representatives Dur ing all this time he mas been a model of party regularity, sticking to the principle of democracy through vic tory and defeat. Being progressive, without being radical the legitimate business men will realize that with him in the White House there will be nothing for them to fear, while the people, from among whom he came, will feel assured that their rights as citizens will be respected.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

Norman B. MackS National Monthly
 Whether considered from the politi- cal or the human standpoint, the cauS- es which have broken up the friend ship of Taft and Roosevelt are in structive. Just as the artificial light of the stage creates misleading gla- mour around the actors, so the cal cium of publicity conceals some traits of character and exaggerates others in public men. Let us look at Taft and Roosevelt in the dry white light of everyday. If we do that, it is seen at once that the reasons which have made Roosevelt and Taft enemies are like those which destroy thousands of friendships in private life. The difference is in size not kind. The Taft-Roosevelt hatred seems to be on a bigger scale than the mutual dis like of Smith and Jones, simply be- cause Roosevelt and Taft deal with large affairs, and their repulsion tow ard each other has split a political party.
 But any friendship based on such grounds as that of Roosevelt and Taft must go to the smash. Any liking founded on such defects in char acter, such false ambitions, such er- roneous ideals, as those of Taft and Roosevelt, will rot. We see such chumminess rotting around us every day, easily trace the decay to it's source. It is just as easy to find the reasons for the present aversion of Taft and Roosevelt for each other. The causes lie in the men themselves.
 Roosevelt owed his rise to spas modic popularity. Taft owed his to a happy-go-lucky pliability. Roosevelt's native egotism was swelled into ab- normal proportions by bellows of fa- voring circum stances Taft under went one of the greatest misfortunes that can possibly befall man in the fact that his was a career without hardships and difficulties. There was nothing to create stern stuff in his character. The chute of prefer ment was greased for him. He slid, hardly knowing how, from one lucra- tive appointive job to another.
 And so these two distinguished men each in his own way, got sham notions of life. Sham ideas of politics. Wrong estimates of other men. Mis- taken appreciation, of conditions. Ov- erestimation of themselves. All the shaky fabric of self-delusion, they were unconsciously preparing for the distrust and destestation which has usurped the place of fraternity.
 Roosevelt thought, probably since rely, that he valued Taft for Taft's sake. Really he valued Taft only as tool. Taft doubtless supposed he admired Roosevelt for Roosevelt's self. In point of fact, he admired Roosevelt as the political creator of Taft.
 At last there came a time when there was a clash of ambitions. And that instant the solid-seeming fortress of friendship became a wall of Jeri- cho-crashing to ruins at the blast ot ambitions trumpet. There is nothing surprising in the now open enmity of Taft and Roosevelt. It was bound to come. It was being bred in the bone and nourished in the flesh of the two meh, all the years when they seemed as strong friends as Damon and Py- thias.
 The breakup of Taft and Roosevelt is warning against false ideals in politics, and against self-delusion as to motives and character.

 Senator Bristow is curiously mistak en in describing MT. Rooseve1t's Col umbus address as "a radical speech It was not radical, but reactionary. It was an argument in favor of a return to tribal government.
 Many of the American Indians had progressive government of this same general character-a Big Chief who acted as steward of public well fare, with the tribe as a whole using the initiative and referndum and re- call and exercising 'the power to en- act into law any measure they deem necessary for the betterment of so- cial and industrial conditions"

IF THE SMITHS ARE LOYAL

A dispatch from Phoenix states that Mark Smith is being groomed as 8 candidate for vice president. There has never been a president named Smith, nor one of that name promin- ently mentioned for that office. Nor (if our memory serves us right) has one of that name occupied the vice presidential chair. Clark and Smith, for instance, or Wilson and Smith would make an exceptionally strong ticket, provided the voters bearing these names cast their ballots for their namesakes, as, in combination, they undoubtedly hold the balance of power in some doubtful states.
