have ruined business men through
 denial of the privileges of the
 mails without first having proven
 that such privileges should be withdrawn through an action in
 the courts; it is also known of financial institutions which have been wrecked at the word of a bureau chief, while neither the men involved nor the public were allowed to know what it was all about.
 There Is grave danger in plac- ing immense power in the hands of few men whose acts arc all most impossible of review, and there Is not a single right of the .ciliZ"n that would not be imperil- ed through bureaucratic rule. In The light of history, both in our own land and abroad, the sugges- tion of MT. Roosevelt that the questions of tru Is and monoDo- lies should be 'handlcd by a bu- reau or commission instead of by the courts acting under the laws enacted by congress would appear tO be miSchievous if not positively dangerous. If the trusts arc q menace to the nation then they must be handled by the courts under clearly defined and easily understood laws.
 When the president found it proper and advisable to check bu- crcatic rule in the case of the Indian commissioner is good sign that the evils of bureaucracy are recognized; that we should place an important function of government into the hands of a bureau or of a commission when it's acts would not at all times be clear to the public or guided by sharply defined law, would be to strike a blow at the fundamental upon which our form of is based.

MEXICAN "PhTRIoTIsM."

Mexican patriotism would ap- pear ln De largely question O, graft. At heart the average Mex jean appears to be very much q bandit prepared to gu in any sort of venture provided there Is a chance for loot. This spir- il seems to pervadc the unhappy republic to the south of Us from the lordly hidalgo to the lowly peon, and at the bottom of prac- iically all of the revolutionary movements that have been of such frcqucncc occurrence in Mexico has been found the desire of some leaders to exploit the cOun- try supported by the desire iu loot upon the part of the com mon people.
 Diaz farcd well through his long career of rule. MaderO has seen to it that as a result of his successful revolution his family has become enriched or at least we'll cared for at public expense, while according to the revelations of Campa and other rebel lead CTS OrOZcO has risen from a low ly position of mule driver until today he is possessed of millions, while his lieutenant, Salazar, is little less wealthy.
 It is not strange that Mexico should be land of loot and graft. of popular rights, and consequent There has always been a denial of popular rights, and constantly before the eyes of the people have been examples of greed and graft upon the part of their leaders. Given a rule of justice and the sway of high moral principles, and doubtless within a generation or two the Mexican people would rank as high not only in intclli- gencr but in moral qualities as any other people on earth.
 There has been marvellous iranSfOrmaliOn in the character of the Mexican peoples who have come under the operation of American laws and of American inSiituIinns through the anncXa- finn of Mexican territory lo the United Stal"S, and it would al- most appear that not until the bcncficrni sway of America should be eXerted over Mexico will the people of that cOuntry have an opportunity to develop in self government and in an apprccia- lion of what constitutes real people.

BUREAUCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

The recent action of Commits Slonrr Valentine of the Indian of iir" in ordering that religious garb shall not br worn in Indian schools, without first having re- rrivrd permission of his immr- dIair superior. the secretary of tn" interior, or of the president serves lo call attention iu the vrX- ali"nS and dangers of bIlrrHucral = Ir rule which has been i0u often the rule tn our government. The many ills from which Alaska has suffered from the hands of the government, have in most cases had their growth from some order "m"naiing from a bureau chief or were the direct result of a fad dist wishing tO test his theories "n people SO far away from the seat of government, as not to be able to help or protect themselves.
 That a bureau chief may take action in many instances invOlv- ing matters of grave importance, without the-sanction of his super iors and often in violation of law, is something that inc average American can regard with com placency.
 The people of Alaska will re- member the orders of vast im- port that were issued by Clifford Pinchot as head of Inc bureau of forestry. IL is remembered that absolutely without warrant of law Mr. Pincbot withdrew from en- try vast tracts of land and there by sensibly retarded the devel- opment of the territory. It is al- 80 remembered that bureau chiefs

EXPLAINING HIS VOTE.

If 1t should become the prac- tice upon the part of the citizens To explain why they will refuse to vote their party ticket straight, there will be such a deluge of ex- planations as would cause the or dinary man to believe that no party has acted wisely in the se- lection of it's candidates, and that in effect, there is no longer any such o thing as parties or party lines.
 There was time in the history of American politics when the av- craze citizen felt 1t incumbent upon him tO take his neighbors into his confidence whenever he believed that good cause existed why he should not vote his party ticket, in that time party fealty was looked upon as mark of honor and to refuse lO support i that party ticket was looked up- on as treason which required an ; explanation.
 Times have materially chang cd during the past few years and today inc man who votes a straight party ticket now feels that some explanation is due to inc public. The day when party frally was regarded as the su- preme test of honor and honesty has gone and today fcalty to principle and to the country as it's interests might be affected by party success or failure is the su- prcme test.
 The American people are doing their own thinking more than they ever have before in the dictum of party caucuscS or party cOnvcn- lions is today but little regard cd, il is no longer sufficient to Isay that a man is Republican or a Democrat to command the votes of the electorate.
 It Is the raS hman who will base his predictions as LO the "Iilr"n" of the coming election upon the results of elections that have gone past. When two men meet one docs not hear argu- mcnts as to politics of some certain candidate, but instead one hears talk of personal fitness of candidates and the possible in- tcrests that are standing behind the candidates of the several men mentioned for public office.
 Party lies rest lightly upon the average American citizen today and the fact that man has al- been Democrat or a Republican is no indication that he will vote either ticke now.
 The avcrOge voter is not seek ing to explain why he does not in- tend to vote the straight party ticket, in fact it is probable that he average vOcr has not as yet fully made up his mind just what sort of ticket he will vote, the only thing of which he is abso- lutcly sure is that he intends to vote according to his convictions and to his best Judgment regard less of whether his choice shall fall upon men of the party with which he has heretofore been af- Inflated, or whether hc will sup port men of opposite political faith.
 If every man who intends to exercise his choice and 10 vote Q

WHEAT BUOYANT ON
UNAVOIDABLE REPOR 7
lrreguiarity and Nerve usness Chief Features
arly in Week-Buying Stimulated by
Continued Light Recaipts

New York, May 12.-Irregularity and
nervousness were the chief features
in domestic wheat markets early in
the week The marked unsettlement
created no surprise among experienced
dealers. us II was evident that trad
ers were made nervous by the many
conflicting crop reports and the wide
difference of opinion as to what the
tenor of the monthly report of the De-
partment of Agriculture would be.
1t was. of course. generally agreed
that the report would be an unravor-
able one. and hence the general tend
ency at the outset was upward and es-
pecially in the distant deliveries which
short sellers We're anxious TO cover,
mainly prompted by the general BELIEF
mat large area had been abandoned
most conservative authorities estimut-
ing the loss between 100000 and o.
100000 acres.
Other Factors.
Covering was also stimulated by un-
favorable reports from Ohio and Mis-
souri, The ohio report was particular
ly unsatisfactory. the condition being
placed at only IL. against 81 last
month. and ST a year ago. Missouri.
too, was bad, the condition being plac-
cd at 65.i, against IS III April and 81
last May This made it fairly certain
that the government report would be
bullish, ana in some respects it turned
out 10 be even worse than anticipat ed
as the area abandoned was larger than
generally feared $3.50, COO acres, or
2o.l per cent. OF the area sown This
Is by FAR the greatest loss on record,
indicating shrlnkage of 10000. 900
bushels as compared with the outlook
a year ago.
Notwithstanding this, the market
did not advance to any noteworthy en-
tent Immediately after the report was
Issued, but this created no surprise
among experienced dealers. as they
imagined that many holders for the
rise would take advantage of the OPP
portunity to take their profits. es-
pccially as the condition of the re-
naming area was slightly larger than
the bulls had forecasted. Nevertheless.
the reported suggested "a total OF only
@I0,000,oo0 bushels. or slightly over
o." 100000 bushels less than harvest
cd last year.
What the Figures Mean.
This means that we Will not have
more than enough winter wheat to
meet our requirement for food and
seed. so that we will be practically ont
OF the running as an exporting coun-
try unless the crop of spring wheat
should prove to be record breaker.
Last years crop of spring wheat was
a poor one only l90.6S2.0 bushels.
This year we should have a least $50 :
100000 bushels in order TO have a
bushci 10 spare for export Therefore,
it is TO be hoped that farmers will sec
the necessity of sowing every acre
available.
Buying was stimulated at times by
continued light receipts at primary
points. while shipments into consump-

Therefore there was a heavy decrease
in the visible supply and a still larger
/ one is expected next week In view
OF the facts described. it is small
