QUESTION AWAITS AN ANSWER
How Has the Payne-AIdrIch Tariff Bill
Succeeded In Its elevation Of
American Labor7"

The Payne-A1drich tariff law went
into effect August 8. 1909. more than
81 months ago.
The friends and supporters OF
Messrs. Payne and Aldrich began to
reap the benefits of the higher taxes
on necessaries of life right away.
Six weeks later the president Of the
United States publicly denounced the
wool and cotton schedules of the law
as 'indefensible."
TWO months ago. after waiting con-
siderably more than two years for the
Increase Of wages which was natural
ly to have been expected as result
OF law whose sole object was "the
elevation OF American labor" the EN-.
ployes Of the wool and cotton mills at
Lawrence. Mass, struck
Now they have returned to work on
the promise of 8 per cent more pay,

JUST WHO WILL PAY THE BILL
Question More or Less Pertinent
Concerning South American
Trip Of Secretary Knox.

Without impertinent curiosity, but
strictly in the line of duty, the house
committee on expenditures In the state
department wants to know (1) Who
pays the expenses of Secretary Knox
on his South American jaunt; and (2)
what right had he to take with him, as
valet, Archibald S. Pinkert, a $1,000
year employe of the government
mailing room?
AS far as memory serves, Secretary
Knox was not ordered away, nor was
1t limited he might do good by going.
All advice was to the contrary. He
was not pushed. but simply threw his
hat Into the ring. as 1t were, gathered
MIS- family around him, told the faith
full Archibald to come along. and
steamed away.
Now the inquiry Of Representative
Hamlin Of Missouri, watchdog OF the
state department funds. as to who is
paying Archibald for valeting. is met
with large wads OF silence.
Who is to pay the whole expense Of
the trip Is another vexed question
Neither the secret emergency nor dip
lomatic funds can be drawn upon.
There is no available currency ex.
cept $4,000 in the horse and stable
fund which may be drawn against,
and that won't pay one-sixteenth part
of the trip.

ROOSEvElT'S TALK ABOUT 1.-THE
WHOLE PEOPLE" ABSURD.
Ex-Presldent Is Continuing on the
Stump the Meaningless Outpour.
Ings That Marked His o.
cupany of the White
House.

When Mr. Roosevelt says. II would
far more willingly trust the whole peo-
pie to Judge such case than some
special tribunal" whom does he
mean?
Does he really mean the whole peo-
ple?" Or does he mean majority of
1.-The whole peopie?" Or does he mean
a majority of the qualified voters, who
are a very small minority Of "the
whole people?"
For example, the whole people" Of
New York. according to the census Of
1910, consisted of 9,113.279 persons.
The total vote cast in the election Of
1910 was 1,437, ,01O. Out Of "the whole
people only one out of every six
voted at the polls. The other FIVE
sixths had nothing whatever to say
about their government.
Reducing the equation to a matter
Of majorities, 71S,506 voters out of a
population of 9,113,279 in the election
of 1910 were "the whole people" In
other words, this majority of the
plain people" that Mr. Roosevelt re
CARDS as practically infallible was com
posed of less than one-twelfth OF the
total population Under the Roosevelt
dispensation this one-twelfth would
have power to set aside any decision
of the Court Of Appeals which involved
the constitution or the states police
powers, and the eleven-twelfths would
be bound by the decree.
Coming from any person but for
mer president of the United States,
such a proposition would be too fool
ish to merit sober consideration from
anybody
Mr.. Roosevelt does not believe in
government by the whole people" II
he did he would favor woman's suffrage.
He would favor the abolition of all
naturalization restrictions. He would
favor the franchise for minors Of both
sexes He would favor votes for Grim
lnals and for every person who had
any stake whatever in government
To put his theory of the majority
of the plain people" to a practical test,
would be repeal the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the constitution of the United States
and permit the plain people" OF every
southern state to deal with the negro

"AFRA|D TO
SAY ANYTHING"
A Republicans O.
pinion of the Par
ty Convention.

Mr.. EDITOR: | attended the
Jefferson county Republican Con-
vention in Golden on March %.
1t was a very quiet affair. H. j
Juchem called the convention to
order, on motion, Prof. Ellison,
was elected chairman, Mr.. Arm
strong Of Arvada was elected
secretary. A chairman is always
expected to make a speech, but
the Prof. said he was afraid to
say any thing" There were
Roosevelt men there and as Roos-
evelt men are scrapers, it would
be best to keep still just then and
not come out and say he was a
Taft man, first, last and all the
time. Mr.. Broad in his resolu-
ton, was also afraid to speak the
name of Roosevelt, for fear the
convention might cheer or ap-
plaud the name. Most of the
mountain precincts gave Roose-
welt majorities and some of the
valley precincts were ahead. But
in Golden the stand patters
worked the town good before it
was time to vote. Mr.. Broad and
Mr.. Vivian could agree on Taft,
but when it comes to U. S. Sena-
tor, Broad is for Guggenheim
and Vivian is against him. So
Mr.. Broad, like Prof. Ellison
was afraid to say any thing" "
All the delegates remembered
the pitched battle they almost
got into two years ago in trying
to pass resolutions endorsing Mr.
Guggenheim. Perhaps Mr.. Wv
ian is afraid to oppose Mr.. Gugg-
enheim for fear he will loose his
job next winter if he is reelected
by the Colorado state legislators
next January. Not one word
was said by Mr.. Broad in asking
the convention to endorse Mr.
Guggenheim for u. S. Senator
Why? Because Mr.. Gnggenheim
does not need resolutions, he will
buy the legislators in the same
way he did six years ago, if the
state goes Republican agai {.
There is no regular trust price
on a legislators vote some sell
cheaper than others. There is
some regularity Of price on hogs
and wheat but not on votes, the
price varies from $50 to $500.
Mr.. |. 7. S, Gregg told me four
years ago he left the Republican
party because it was run by
Guggenheim money. Now Mr..
Gregg has too good a thing in
sight to quit the party this year
and vote the fusion ticket. Per-
haps Mr. Gregg is opposed to Mr.,
Roosevelt holding Office for eleven
or twelve years, but has no oppo-
sition to Mr.. GuQgenheim for
twelve years. Mr.. Gregg has
been in office at least sixteen
years and will be in office sixteen
more if he can get there. He
wishes to make as good a showing
as Mr.. Vivian, Mr.. Quaintancc
or Frank Miller, postmaster Of
Edgewater. Frank received his
papers about two months ago for
another four years. Those that
are in waiting for appointive jobs
who can't get reelected TO Office
again are A. c. Pattee, W. G..
Lewis, CIV. Lake and A. w. Arm
strong of the Arvada Sun. All
are depending on Mr.. Broad or
Mr.. Vivian to get the jobs for
them. All want a post Office or

W. c. T. u. NOTES
By c. ". c.

Another Easter with its glor-
ious sunshine, elaborate decora-
tions of churches, seraphic music
and beautiful apparel has passed
into history. Perhaps the dress
ing is overdone. Possibly we
think too much Of external and
not enough of vital spiritual truth.
Yet underneath it all is the glor
ious foundation of a risen Christ
and an eternal life.
This touches woman most
deeply. Everywhere she is awak-
ening to a sense of her response
bility, freedom and power. This
means better homes, happier hus-
bands and brighter and healthier
children. Have you heard about
the women of China? Equal
suffrage was granted last week
by the parliament at Marking.
The law will be effective immed-
lately and women will be subject
to the same restrictions as men,
must be able to read and write,
must be property holders and
must he at leart TWENTY-FIVE wears
old. In Turkey, the day the con-
stitution was proclaimed many
women threw off their wells and
so appeared on the streets. We
are sorry for the women of Eng
land, sorry that just as the cup
was to be pressed to their lips, it
was ruthlessly dashed away.
They were to have been granted
suffrage, but on account of a lit
tie foolishness in the way of win
dow-breaking, parliament chang
ed it's mind and decided not to
give women the ballot for awhile.
We of Colorado have the bal
lot, but are confronted by the
great responsibility of finding
out how to use it. Seattle is an
example of woman's power of the
franchise. Two years ago. un-
der Mayor Gill, the city had the
largest house Of prostitution in
the world. Largely by the
power and influence of woman's
vote, Mr.. Cotterill was elected
mayor upon the platform of
"The Home VS.. the Dive" The
splendid citizenship will wipe out
legalized vice. $4,000, 900 has
been voted for harbor and city
improvements. There will be
more parks and Fairgrounds; a
more adequate water supply; a
municipal street car line and a
municipal telephone system; a
home for tubercular patients; a
new county ferry across Lake
Washington, and the plans for
harbor improvement are so vast
as to seem like a dream of uni
imagined prosperity.
1t is said the brewer will spend
a million this year to defeat
woman's suffrage. This is a
time of rapid change of senti-
ment. That most conservative
of magazines, the Ladies Home
Journal, has this to say of wom-
ans attitude toward public ques-
tions in defin NJ the successful
woman: Third, she is a woman
who does her duty to the COM
munity and the state in which
she lives, not necessarily by vot-
ing. but by taking part in the
various movementt, towards So
cial service and civic reform
which arise wherever a sense Of
citizenship is strongly felt.
