mails up In a stable, did his marketing

ROOSEVELT REPLIES TO TAFT
Colonel Insists That "the People
Should Rule"

SUOuIO nuIc.
New York, March 21.-In the first
speech OF his campaign for the presi-
Dental nomination Colonel Roosevelt
contrasted his position with that taken
by President Taft. The real issue, he
said, was whether the American peo-
pie should govern themselves.
President Taft's recent speech at
Toledo YVES referred to several times
by Colonel Roosevelt, who devoted a
large part of his remarks to q reply.
Mr.. Taft again and again in quota
tons / have given and elsewhere
through his speech" said Colonel
Roosevelt, expresses his disbelief in
the people when they vote at the
polls" He asserted that the presi-
dents position wal that we have IN
this country a special class Of per
sons wiser than the people, who are
above the people, who cannot be
reached BIZ the people, but who govern
them and ought to govern them"
Colonel Roosevelt said that this was
'the old, old doctrine" which has
tended to create a bulwark for spe-
clal privilege"
This doctrine Is to me a dreadful
doctrine" said the. speaker, "for its
effect is and can only be to make the
courts the shield Of privilege against
popular rights"

the money has to be appropriated for
specific purposes before it can be ex.
pended, and if this were not done be-
fore the beginning of the fiscal year
the machinery of government would
stop unless emergency provision could
be made.
How Estimates Are Made.
The estimates" are prepared by the
executive departments of which each
member Of the cabinet Is u head. The
cabinet officers get the estimates" In
their respective departments from their
chiefs of bureaus and then combine
them as the estimates" for the depart
ment. The Estimates from all de
partments are then Sent to the secre-
tary Of the treasury to be submitted
to congress. and they then become the
Estimates for the cost Of running the
entire government during the next hs-
cal year. Upon these figures congress
makes the greater part II its %appropria-
tons. amounting to more than $1,000
O0O. 900 annually.
Until 1908 a more or less lax method
Of making estimates for the annual
appropriations obtained throughout the
government. The figures sent TO con-
gress each year. instead Of showing
indications Of a careful pruning all
along the line, showed there was a
disposition among the departments TO
vie with each other in getting as large
appropriations as possible without cor.
sfdering whether or not the money de-
manded could be advantageously ex
pended during the coming year. There
was no standardization Of supplies. and
the various departments were paying
varying prices for the same article.
What President Taft Did.
As soon as President Taft took Office
this system ceased. At the outset Pres
ident Taft impressed upon his cabinet
officials the absolute necessity of econ
omy and efficiency in their depart
ments. He admonished them that not

which all thinking men and women
will approve, President Taft pointed
out that the people Of the country as
a whole are interested chiefly in the
following governmental objects: The
national defense, the protection Of per.
sons and property. the promotion of
friendly relations and the protection of
American interests abroad, the regula-
ton of commerce and industry, the
promotion of agriculture. fisheries, for.
estry and mining. the promotion of
manufacturing. commerce and bank
ing, the promotion Of transportation
and communication. the postal service,
including postal savings banks and

One of the most interesting sights Of
Malta and at the same time rather q
grewsome one is the Chapel of Bones.

Of the long departed monks. In inches

gate its W expenditures and to de-
wise ways and means of curtailing ex-
travagances. The result was that con

had seen in years. This was followed
by a reduction in appropriations to cor
respond. always allowing for the nat
ural growth Of the governments ac-
t~ivities. which represented a net saw
ing to the taxpayers Of the country.
President Taft was not. however,
satisfied that all had been done that
could be done. He realized that the
departments of the government, like
individuals, are naturally prone to be
proud of their own achievements and
by reason Of their familiarity with
their W endeavors often insisted
that their work was more important
than the work Of the other depart
ments. relatively speaking. In order
to correct that evil he asked congress
to give him 100000 for a commission
Of disinterested experts to investigate

Washington, March 24.-With all
the pomp and solemnity that a mighty

last of the dead of the Maine were
laid away in Arlington cemetery.

Seldom in the history Of this coun-
try has there been planned a higher
tribute to the memory of any man or
men than that for the sixty-four dead
of the Maine.
Government business in Washington
was practically suspended by execu-
tive order. President Taft, most OF
the members of his cabinet, the high
est officers of the army, the navy and
the marine corps, officials Of the de
partments and representatives OF
many foreign powers participated In
the exercises.
Over the government buildings flags
hung at half mast, while congress ad-
journed for the day.
The booming of minute guns and
the tramp of soldiery added the touch
of military pomp and circumstance.
Exercises Are Elaborate.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for the ceremonies. Beginning
with the removal of the dead from the
United States steamship Birmingham,
which brought them up from Havana,
and ending with the firing of three vol
leys Of musketry over the new made
graves, the exercises were designed to
show all honor and respect to the mar
tyrs of the doomed b~attleship.

the Birmingham to the state, war and

Birmingham and other vessels now In
Washington. The speakers, who faced
the crowd in the plaza behind the navy
building, were only three-President
Taft and Father Chadwick, chaplain
of the Maine when the explosion Of
Feb. Is, 1898, sent her to the bot
tom, and Chaplain Bayard, U. s. N. .
The Marine band, the show band of
Washington, was chosen to give the
solemn music for the dead and an
army battery stationed neal the Wash
ington monument was selected to fire
the twenty-one-gun salute as the cere-
monies at the navy building ended and
the quiet march to Arlington was be-
gun.
Over the graves in Arlington the
simple exercises included burial serv-
ices by Chaplain Bayard and Father
