THE GRIP OF THE MINORITY.

1t is the grip of the minority which Theodore
Roosevelt is fighting in this country as he punges
splenddly into the contest in which he leads Sooner
later the Wall Street organs and the organs of
the Democracy will discover that the fog in which
they try to veil his attitude cannot hide the cause of
their hostility.
Roosevelt is in this contest solely and absolutely
in the of the people. Invective and abuse Of
him cannot hide it from the people. He is in the
field to do his utmost that the majority shall get rid
of the rule of small yrannous minority and have
the human rights of democracy to which it is entitled
1t does not hide from the people his direct,
straightforward program for the representatives of
the interests to attack the recall of decisions as
anarchy" and revolution and build up from their
own ideas the figure of destroyer of the republic
They insult the intelligence of the people The peo-
pie have read the proposal for the recall Of deci-
sions. They know it is no earthquake. They are
not frightened by stage thunder hurled at it. They
know it is one item in program of giving self-gov-
ernment.
They know it is simply proposal to give the
people real, instead of only nominal, chance to
construe and amend a State constitution with rea-
sonable rapidity.
They know that England and her colonies, France,
Italy and Switzerland already have the right to
rule judicial decisions.
lney KNOW, Wtnout Deln& reminded, or the NIL
norities that are grabbing our coal deposits, our
water powers and harbor fronts; fatening on the
sale of aduterated foods and drugs; standing behind
monopoes and trusts, the sweat shops and the whole
calendar of social and industrial injustice.
They know it is this grip of the minority which
the Democratic organs at work for Tafs nomination,
the Wall Street organs, will not and cannot dispute.
They realize now why it is that Roosevelt is op-
posing Taft who is pushed forward by the selfish in
terests They recognize it is the sober truth that
Mr.. Taft has abandoned the great movement he was
elected to carry forward and that he openly joined
with the men who had fought most bitterly against
the Roosevelt policies, turning to them for de-
sruction the most closely identified with Roose-
vet and his policies.
With this background, the everyday man needs
prejudced tutor to tell him what Roosevelt means
or what he is fighting for when he presses forward
undeviatngy to that the people have the chance
to govern themselves.
1t is the old minority and its grip he has learned
to distrust. If there is revolution coming with un-
bossed, unsyndicated, unmanipulsted popular gov
ernment, he is willing TO face it and help it on

care out there to throw their votes in primary, in

JAMESTOWN, Oct. @.-Fanned by

was discovered about noon burning

came from the southwest, pointing
the head fire straight towards Ptngree,
while several sidcfires branched off to

One branch Of the fire went north
towards Woodworth but the head fire
which spread out like an Immense fan,

neht for equal pay. was the guest OF
honor at n lunchen at the Plaza yesterday
afternoon given by her association.
Mrs. Lena +. Gano. president or the

citation. was toastmistress. and In hair
hour speech delivered "A glowing eulogy oil
Miss Strachan. She characterized her as
great educator. an educator OF women
an educator OF children and an educator
OF the press.
The timo is not coming. but has ar
rived. when the teachers should take their
place In the community among responsl-
BILE women" said the speaker
IL suggest that some one Investigate
the case OF a school where there are from
time 10 time ten TO fourteen teachers
out because of Illness. Where Is the in
fiuence that the children should have
from the teachers? or course, there are
substitute teachers. who-many OF them
are splendid-do their very best, but the
children miss the inspiration that comes
from the trained teacher.
II no wwish TO greet Miss Strachan as
A great educator, one who has educated
public opinion and who has educated,
the country"
The entire audience-about Ave hundred
women and Ave men-rose In their seats
and cheered Miss Strachan loudly as she
began to speak. She said In part:
Il have realized for seven years the
great injustice under which women teach
| ers have labored. have always fought
against the danger OF women teachers
| becoming narrow minded. Heaven knows
| II is far too easy!
MANY persons think that you have 10

men. That IL not true"
Miss Strachan then read letters OF re-
gret from Governor-elect sulzer and Mrs.
sulzer, Mr. and Mrs. Hotchkiss and
Mayor Gaynor. In referring TO Mrs. Sui
ger she said she thought that "the Sui
zers' would do great work for the ma
tion-it would be case OF team work
in the Sulzer family" She said:
II admire. as do all women, the great
courage OF both Governor Dix and Mayor
Gaynor in signing the equal pay bill. 1t
was perfectly wonderful"
Among those In the audience were Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. Mrs. Story and
Miss Mary q. Hay. Commissioner

words to the teachers and their guests

and said:

Democrats Will Rage Again.

President Taft issued an order to-day
placing within the classified civil service
the 10000 skilled mechanics employed III
the several navy yards, and when the
Democrats have had time to get their
breath they will doubtless send up howi
even louder than that which followed his
classification of the fourth class post
masters. OF course, the employees were 10
all intents and purposes brought into the
classified service In 1894, and President
Cleveland confirmed the order then issued
in 1896, but, according to an opinion OF
the Attorney General given In July, lsos.
the original order and the conflrmatloh OIL
Mr.. Cleveland failed TO achieve the emu
for which they were designed. and since
them the authorities have been working
on q scheme Of classification which wouid
at once make for the greatest emciency
and conform to the law. throughout
President Tafts administration the spirit
of the classifying order has been observed,
even though the Attorney General had
pronounced Il insufficient from strictly
legal point Of view. But the numerous
evidences of an inordinate demand from
Democratic members Of Congress for
return to the spoils system wherever a
loophole could be found has spurred the
naval authorities and the President to ex-
tend these navy yard employees such meas
ure Of protection that only direct and
obvious revocation OF an executive order
by President Wilson can make them the
prey u Democratic spoilsmen. Despite the
fact that this order had the cordial ap-
proval Of a Democratic President, ana
that II has long been observed, there was
much murmuring among the Democrats In
CONGRESS when news OF President Tafts
action first became known, and some there
we're who declared that President wilson
would simply be compelled TO revoke the
order. That he will do SO, however. Is
not believed by the naval authorities, who
will be able to present abundant argu-
ments based on increased efficiency In the
navy yards, to show that such action
should not be taken.

System VIII Work Here.

An easy exchange between capital and
farmers, With proper security, has been
established In European countries, where
the rate Of interest has been lowered 70
that the farmer Is on practically the
same basis In borrowing money as the
business man Il. IL this can be done
abroad. IT can be done here; and If abroad
we find the government institutions
adopted to form the conduit pipe between
capitalists and farmers are successfully
operating, why should we not adopt them
here?
am quite willing to agree that condi-
tions here are different from those In
Europe, and that such conditions may
make necessary modification OF the
methods adopted 10 produce the flow OF
capital to the farms and the return OF
proper security TO the capitalist. but the
general plans adopted abroad can be
amended TO suit the pecularties OF the
present conditions. and convention OF
Governors, representing all the states In
the Union, is the place where such meth
DDS ought to be discussed. with a view TO
adopting uniform legislation in all the
states TO secure the desired end.
| am glad to learn that a committee
OF Governors is 10 be appointed TO eX-
anime plans and having adopted the best
one, TO recommend the uniform legisa-
tion necessary TO carry ii out. IL federal
legislation can be OF material benefit, /
doubt not that II can be secured.
We are not going to adopt system
bic time before the country shall receive
the benefit OF II, but the earlier we begin
the agitation the earlier we shall achieve
the purpose we have In bringing the mat
ter TO the attention OF the public.
There Is no subject matter OF greater
importance to the people Of the United
States than the Improvement Of agricul-
tural methods. the keeping them up to
date In all agricultural communities, the
securing OF profit to the farmer the
attraction of the young men TO the coun-
try to farming az lucrative profession
and, the lowering OF the cost OF producing
agricultural products. and the lowering
OF their prices TO the consumers.

THE DAY IN WASHINGTON

has proceeded. A few minutes after the
case was taken up yesterday there re-
mained only thirty-six Senators IN the
chamber, one-half Democrats and the
other half Republicans. Even this snah
number steadily dwindled until, when' at
its conclusion, an effort was made 10 Sc
cure a quorum to pass on the motion 10
go into executive session, barely a hand-
ful of Senators was in the chamber, ana
a rollcall revealed the presence or only
thirty-six in the entire Capitol. III Is
possible that the manner In when the
proceedings are conducted, the absence
of that celerity which characterizes a
court, has something to do with this lack
of attention, but it is already evident
that a majority of the Senators wish the
House and it's impeachment proceeding
were ended.
