BACK TO THE RIGHT CHANNEL N | II
Privilege Of the Democratic Party 10
to Restore a Safe and Sane
Government. .

The beginning OF the Roosevelt To-
gend is interesting. Back in the
eighties an American magazine pub
lished a series of articles on ranch HE
and the hunting trail, illustrated by
the pencil of the late Fred Remington
and signed by a name famous in the
history both Of New York politics
and western standardization sevelt.
Later it was reported that a new Dam
lei had come to Judgment in the 20.
lice department Of New York. Then
came the Spanish-American war and
the famous regiment recruited from
Fifth avenue, and Dead Mans Gulch.
The assassination of Mckinley oc-
Cured alta strategic moment, when
American politics was about to take a
new turn and crystalline about either
an idea or person. Roosevelts dra-
matte entrance into the White House
turned the scale. An era OF personal
government began. There is some-
thing wrong with the succession, how.
ever. Taft Is to Roosevelt what Ma
zarin was to- Richelieu. The founder
OF the dynasty has decided to govern
once more, The viceroy business Is
played out. Meanwhile the Democratic
party. through men like Clark, Under
wood, Baldwin. Wilson, Harmon and
others, has redirected the attention of
the country to the power Of ideas in
politics. 1t is our guess that personal
government is doomed and that soon,
the Roosevelts and Cannons will be
numbered among the popular idols
which have lost their sanctity.-St.

RISING Moral Standards.

In the stimulating little volume.
THE Moral and Religious Challenge
OF Our Times" President H. c. King
Of Oberlin) college discusses as one
of the significant national changes,
1.-THE rapidly rising moral standards
Of the United States in business, in
dustrial and political life"
There can be no doubt, he says, that
the business world now srepudiates
methods that would have been accept
ed as matter of course twenty-five
years ago., and that in politics there
is "a growing responsibility to the
whole people" He continues:
1.-THE significant element in the re-
volt against 'Cannonism' lies just here.
It is the reputation Of the old theory
that legislation is to be the outcome
Of a compromise of various corporate
or local interests, instead Of being de-
termined by clear view of the inter-
ests OF the people as q whole"
That is why the people revolted
against the manner in which the
Payne.Aldrich tariff act was framed.
and it explains the uprising which has
SO bewildered the old school Of poll
ticians who could see nothing out Of
the way in legislating for the special
interests. s

Science Of 1 Management.

Management, or the science Of exc.

4 Wind ow Curtains,


s Two kinds Of curtains at a window
are not by any means necessity, but
in almost all cases such an arrange
ment is extremely attractive, says the
Ladies Home Journal. Curtains OF
silk. linen, cretonne or madras provide
the note Of color that is desired In the
scheme Of decoration in the room; and
as a rule supply adequate window fur
nishing; but thin. curtains OF net,
scrim or muslin. next to the pane are
always a charming addition and have
the added value Of preserving uni
1formity in the appearance Of the win
dows from without. In cases where
curtains Of scrim or muslin are all
that is required for the decoration OF
a room such curtains should not be
used. n X "A s.,,t s rst}#

LET THE. PEOPLE KNOW
WHO is BACKING CAMPAIGNS OF
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT "a
That Enormous Sums OF Money Are
Being Spent is Apparent, and
Citizens Have a Right to
Learn the Source.

III BY all means let the house bill COM

expenditures Of presidential candi-
dates be passed.
Especially In the campaign now on,
which holds SO many candidates who
proclaim they are running in response
to the peoples demand, 1t is desirable
to know who Is putting up the sinews
of war.
The cost of the Roosevelt campaign
in New York county was over $4,000,
or nearly four dollars a vote. And he
lost out at that A short time ago
the total cost of his campaign thus far
was estimated at 100000. "A 4.
If we accept the colonel's interpre
tation of the significance OF his candi-
dacy this money is being spent to per-
NIT the people to express their over
whelming desire to nominate him.
All right. Let him spend as much
as he likes. If he spends it legitimate
ly. But who Is putting up? q
Mr.. Roosevelt has no million to
spend on his campaign. not even the
$50 1000 which, according to legal rec
ord, he dumped into New Y ork county
alone. Then who is putting up?
Is it Perkins. Munsey or Nc Cor
mick, or some other OF his trust
friends who are boosting the Roosevelt
campaign? Or are the plain people
parting with their pennies to enjoy
the salvation OF another Roosevelt ad-
ministration? ia.
The Taft managers, undoubtedly,
are spending money, too. Money has
always been spent in these campaigns.
The people have right to know where
the Taft money comes from:
But the agents OF the president
have yet to be charged with pending
money like drunken sailors as were
the agents Of the colonel in Indianapo-
lis. sf,.3j
1t may be recalled at this time that
George w. Perkins in 1904 contributed
$4,000 to the Roosevelt campaign in
behalf OF the New York Life lnsur-
ance company He can't do that now,
but what he is giving and how he Is
giving 1t should be known to the citi-
zens who are asked to vote for Mr..
Roosevelt. !, s.,{
If the nation is to have publicity OF
campaign contributions, it Is fully as
important that 1t has them for the pri-
maries and other REORGANIZATION &C

but to have on plain overall and to
be able to rush about the garden with
some OF her animals is Joy. Once on
their return from the country to-
Rome the royal family drove in semi
state up to the palace. and Princess
Yolanda, in her best clothes, bowed
graciously to the cheering people all
the way, frequently admonishing her
younger sisters to do the same. When
she reached the palace she rushed up
to the nurseries in great haste to get
a more serviceable frock, and noticed
that papering and embarrassing had
been going on and everything was
very clean and white everywhere. In
dismay ut these fearfully clean sur
roundings, which she knew meant
more care about dirty fingers and
dusty boots, she ran out into the gar
den to find her chief pet, Toto, the
donkey, and said. with relief in every
syllable: well. it's blessing they
haven't whitewashed you. too, and
