NEW CAMPAIGN SCHEME.

The plan proposed bv W. G. McAdoo
throughout the country receive and
transmit subscriptions to National cam
paign funds is probs bly, the forerunuer
of scheme to thwart all legislation re-
curing publicity in campaign funds. 1t
is evident that if financial agencies of
different sorts are to take part in the
raising and distribution of campaign
funds, the candidates and party com
mlttecs will be absolyed from all re-
quirement TO publish the expenses of
their campaigns. With little further
development Of this plan Of Mr.. Nc
Adoo $, the campaign managers and the
candidates may disclaim all response
bilty for campaign expenditures, put
up no money for the same, especially
before the election. and have the whole
expenses carried by the financial con,
ccrn which undertakes the work, and
that concern will be, of course, in po-
sition TO protect itself from inquiries as
to its money affairs, just as the House

natural outgrowth of conditions. The
financial part Of the campaign would IN
this manner be separated altogether
from the executive part. and in way
the right hand would not know what
the left hand was doing.
TO those used TO the old campaign
methods of irresponsibilitv to the public
in the expenditure of money for cam

this publicity is especially distasteful
and it would be a wonder indeed If they

HIS MENDAcIoUs COMPLAINT,

The amazing facility of Col. Roose.
relt in misrepresentation and selfish eff
fropterv is The astonishment Of the
country every day. He is always talk
ing about square deal but he
never by any chance gives any one else
even the shadow, to say nothing OF the
substance, Of square deal. His at
tacks upon President Taft have been
scandalous iU the extreme. His con.
slant viliiication Of mon much better
than himself has been public scandal
for months.
And nov he has turned upon the
press. In his speech at Providence ne
made the direct charge that the news
columns OF the newspapers of the coun-
try arc closed 10 him aud to the Pro.
gressive movement. Nothing moro
5candalouslv untrue could be stated or
even imagined than this The truth of
the matter is that the newspapers of
the country have given him unstinted
space ever since hc SHE'D his castor

uaGe after page, have been taken in all
the daily papers OF tho country. giving
accounts of what Roosevelt is saving
aud doing. No man in public life has
ever been treated so generously as h2s
Col. Roosevelt in this respect bv ali tne

towards him. Those favoring him and

islstion. The McAdoo proposition is A
starter; it opens the door for that sort
of escape, and suggests development
along secret lines, IL is altogether
probable that the MeAdoo proposition
will develop as suggested, even though
it might be necessary in some cases for
the banks to have a personal representa-
tive in way dissociatcd form the bank
to handle the political funds. But that
the McAdoo proposition will eventually
lead to snch a system Of covering mp
political expenditures can hardly be
doubted

GOVERNOR HADLEY'S REASONS.

Governor Hadley Of Missouri was one
of the great figures in the National Re.
publican Convention at Chicago last
June. 1t seems to be fairly evident
from the comment Of those who attend
ed that convention and aualyzed its
tendencies. that Governor Hadley might
have been nominated for President if
Col. Roosevelt had given his consent.
But Governor Hadley was Roosevelt
man, and Roosevelt insisted that pe
himself was the sole candidate to be
considered by the Progressive element
in that convention. And yet the Pro-
gressive element was quite ready to
shift from Roosevelt to Hadley but for
the absolute and peremptory refusal Of
Roosevelt to consider Hadley or any one
else than himself as the candidate.
1t was apparently Col. Roosevelt IS
idea that Governor Hadley would fol.
low him into the third party, just AS
so many Others of his supporters have
done. This, however, was an sssump-
tion in direct opposition to the fact, as
so many of Roosevclt's assumptions
have proved TO be.
Governor Hadley has given to Les
lies Weekly an explanation of his re-
fusal to go into a third party move
ment, which is wholly sound, wise, and
conformable to political party principles
and to political prccedents, 1t is also
an eloquent criticism upon the Roosevelt
refusal to abide by the decision of the
convention whose nomination he bad
solicited, and it is, further, a solid
ground for the activities of progressive
men in the Republican party for. the
pursuit of their ideas within party lines
Governor Hadley's declaration is short
and TO the point, well worthy Of the
reading of every Republican who may
have been misled by the gIamor of the
Roosevelt personality. The Hadley
statement is as follows:
have been unwilling TO concede that
the Republican party has ceased TO be a
useful agency OF good government ] be-
lieve large majority OF the Republican
voters believe In progressive policies and
principles OF government, and that those
voters can make their opinions effective
through the existing party machinery.
And / believe that the success OF pro-
gressive principles can be more promptly
and effectively accomplished through the
Republican party than by the organiza-
tion OF a third party.
What assurance nave those who Join
in the formation OF a new party that four
years from now the members Of the ma
tional committee OF that party will not
use. in some unfair way. their authority
az against delegates seiected in favor OF
some candidate for the Presidency No
party can claim for itself monopoly of
honest men. and no party can make Itself
proof against dishonest, selfish or de-
signing men securing positions of power
OF authority therein.
I have further felt that the platform
adopted by the Republican convention
this year shows that the Republican party
as Il now exists is not reactionary organ
ization. While there were number OF
planks that ! should like to have seen
adopted-pa rticularly the plank declaring
In favor of direct primaries--which were
not adopted. the platform, whole
is the most progressive platform ever
adopsed by our party.

MUST RETURN UNARMED.

The declaration OF the Mexican Con-
sui at FL Paso, representing the Mexl-
can Government. that the American
refugees from Mexico may return
TO their homes and possessions there
only on condition that they return un-
armed, is cruel mockery. For, first
of all, they would then make them
selves easy victims Of bloodthirsty
brigauds, aud surely there has never
been amy claim that the Americans
in Mexico have used arms in any other
way except TO protect themselves, and
especially have they not used arms
against the Mexican Government, save
in the possible cases Of Americans who
may have enlisted under the insurrec-
tionary banner, and as to these, they
must look out for themselves; but as
to that it is a clear case that Tar
more Americans took part IN the
Madero iusurrectiop than have ever
identified themselves with the Orozco
insurrection. 1t is therefore all the
more ungratefnl for President Madero
to make this restriction against Amer
can refugees returning to Mexico
only on the condition that they return
unarmed. 1t is true that most Of
those who disliked Diaz and have
taken any active part in the Mexican
lighting did 80 in behalf Of Madero;
and second, the American residents
in Mexico, almost without exception,
have studiously avoided taking part in
the war on either side, and where they
have used their arms, it has merely
been in self-defense, as in the case OF
the Mormon men that recently were
driven out from their homes and who
had to defend themselves in getting
out, this defense not being, however,
against the Mexican forces, but
against the forces in insurrection. One
might fairly conclude, therefore, that
the Madero Government would look
upon Americans in arms in Mexico as
friendly reinforcement rather than
as hostile array; so that the mocklng
restriction put upon their return to
their homes and possessions in Mexico
is all the more indefensibIe and unfair.
1t is not a matter, of course, In
which our own National Government
could intervene, for we have no right
to insist that any inhabitants of any
foreign country shall be allowed to go
into that country with arms in their
hands, But the necessity of Americans
who return to Mexico in the unsettled
conditions there, having arms with
them to protect themselves, is SO evil
dent that the Madero inslstenee
against this is both cruel and in effect
prohibition against their return.

SENATOR KEARNS ON ALASKA.

The interview in The Tribune yester,
day morning from former Senator
Thomas Kearns shows that he has had
his eyes wide open during his late visit
TO Alaska. and that he has fully iudged
and interpreted the situation in that re.
gion. He shows that the Piuchot CON
servation policy has paralyzed indus
tries, and not only prevented all devel-
opment of Alaska, but has actually
driven out population and capital from
that great and rich region. He shows
that the coal measures there arc ample,
but that by reason of the restrictions
placed by the Pincbot policies upon
coal mining, it is impossible to mine
that coal. He shows further that Col.
Roosevelt was the main bulwark of
those destructive policies, and that the
Roosevelt idea is the same as the Pin.
chot idea on that matter. and that the
election Of Roosevelt to the Presidency
would be nothing else than a calamity
TO Alaska. while it would be an injury
to the whole Nation.
Mr.. Kearns points out truly that Mr..
Taft is the only President that we ever
had who showed a Just idea of what
ought to be done for Alaska. and that
under President Taft policies Alaska
VIII have chance TO develop and be-
come one of the richest possessions of
the United States If Congress will only
heed his recommendations and do the
fair thing by the people Of that region.
Finally, Mr.. kearns, in discussing the
matter of progressivencss, plants the
matter truly and fairly upon what peo-
pie do rather than what they say. As
he illustrates, the man who builds such
buildings as the Newhouse buildings.
the Utah hotel, and others Che might
justly have included his own fine ten
story business block), are progressives
In far truer sense than those who do
nothing but stand around and yell about
progressive policies. For what is pro-
gresslon? IL is moving forward in the
development and in the utilizing of the
resources of the country, and in provid-
ing for the actual necessities of busi.
ness, of transportation. of commerce,
and of trade How else can a country
progress except in this way7 No coun~
try ever progresses merely because it
has lot OF blathcrskites yelling for
progress. There must be substantial
progressive men who do the actual work
for progression, or else VIC have no pro-
gross.
All this. placed fairly and squarely
before the people, ought to be au awak-
ening thought in the minds of those
who are blinded by mere hot air and
froth. Let us have real progression,
actual things that make for progress,
and less windy spouting about forms OF
progressiveness which mean nothing
more than catering to the appetite of
demagogues for Office, or the advance
ment to pnblic station Of those who
make the cry merely for their own per
sonal ends. Let those who would be
progressivcs do something By way OF
progression, and show by their works
that they know what progressivencss is
and do not confine their activities to
mere exercise of the mouth.
