ROOSEVELT AT COLUMBUS
Favors Initiative and Referendum Be-
fore Ohio Convention

Columbus, O., Feb. 21.-Theodore
Roosevelt addressed the Ohio oonsti'
tutional convention today. The hall
was packed and hundreds were un-
able TO gain admittance.
Complications were caused by the
fact that somebody issued hundreds
of spurious ticks.s so that many with
genuinetickets were shut out.
Roosevelt's address took about an
hour. He declared in favor of the
initiative and referendum under res
trictions which will limit them to
important issues.
He said that he had originally
been opposed to the recall but does
not now object seriously to Il under
proper restrictions, so tina it may
not be invoked except for important
cause.
Concerning the recall of judges he
declared that the people will have
a better remedy when they can make
their own laws through the initiative
and referendum. Mr.. Roosevelt was
vociferously applauded.

GOvERN'R HARMON
WARNS AGAINST
Discomfort
Ohio Leader Is Plainly Not a
MOdernist
ATTACKS FEDERAL EXPENSES
Spoke Before Kentucky Legislature
and Says That Popular Unrest
is Warning

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 90 Gov
Judson Harmon of Ohio today warned
the Kentucky Legislature and all Of
fee holders to analyze their own rec
ords to see just how much they were
responsible for the unrest which was
making a demand for Government in
novations general. Gov. Harmon
spoke at today's session in answer to
a recent invitation Of the Legisla-
tors. saying in part:
Whatever we may think OF the in
novations in Government we are hear
ing so much about, 1t behooves every
one who holds public position to
make diligent self-search to find whe-
Their any shortcoming on his part fig
ures in the unrest which the proposal
of these changes signifies. For, while
some doubtless advocate them for
other reasons, the greater number
would not lend an ear without some
real or supposed ground for discon-
tent with public agencies as they are.
"All are involved in the measures
in question. Direct legislation is aim
ed at the lawmakers as a body and
the recall at the individual members,
as well as at Executive officers and
Judges"
Gov. Harmon told of two admins
trative changes made recently in Ohio
and concluded:
IL believe the reform most sorely

expense. 1t ought not to cost billion
dollars year, or over $11 for each
man, woman, and child in the coun-
try to maintain the Federal Govern
ment, with its limited functions.
Those of the State, county, and
city, which are much more numerous
and expensive, cost together but lit.
tie more per head, and that is far
too much.
"Trus, these are time of private
extravaganza, but that is no excuse
for public extravaganza. Everybody
may spend his own money as he plea
SEES, but public officials spend Other
peoples money, much of it contribut
ed under hardship and all of 1t fol
purposes, which make 1t sacred fol
every patriot.
Federal expenses bear more heav
lily on the people than State and loca
expenses because the latter are rails
ed by taxes on property only, Will,
the former are chiefly raised by tn,
tariff on articles consumed. So tn,
per capita figure is not an estlmat,
but a realty, because the poor maj
with a large family pays more FEEDER
al tax than the rich man with SINAI
Ter family.
I'VE need other reforms, too, bu
this would bring quicker, greater an,
more general relief than any other
And reduction of the tariff taxes witt
care and economy in public expend
lures, which go hand in hand, are
ready means to secure It,"

S5.OOO,OOO FIRE

THIS MORNING
twenty-five City Blocks We're
Burned Over
GALE TANNED THE FLAMES
Thousands Homeless But No Lives
Lost-60,ooo Bales Of Cotton
Destroyed
GALE TANNED THE FLAMES

Houston, Tex, Feb. 21.-A fire
which started early this morning
swept over a strip in the heart of
the city IS blocks long and seven
blocks wide. 1t was not until 2 o.
clock this afternoon that the fire was
under control.
1t is thought that there has been
little or no loss of life though the
flames were famed by a 80 mile gale
that drove them beyond the control
of the fire department for several
hours.
The loss is roughly estimated at
five million dollars. The property
burned included lumber yards, store
houses, mills, stores and upwards OF
thousand residences. mong the
property destroyed is $4,000 bales OF
cotton.

was unsuccessful and the pre-arrang-
ed program went through.
The platform says that the demo
cratic party under the splendid lead
ership of Champ Clark, overthrow
Carnolism and restored representa-
tive government in the popular
branch Of Congress-" passed a bill
reducing the tariff tax on wooden
goods, reducing taxes upon steel, cot
ton, chemicals, and other prime nee
essitles of life and forced them
through the Senate by aid of insur-
gent votes though in response to the
demands of the monopolies and other
great protected industries. President
Taft vetoed all these measures"
Fraising the wisdom and patriotism
of Champ Clark the platform says:
I'VE hereby specifically instruct the
delegates by this convention to the
national democratic convention to
work Tor Champ Clark and vote as a
unit continuously Tor him as the nom
inee of said democratic national con
vention for president Of the United
States and to use all proper and hon
orable means to secure his nomina-
ton"

PARCELS SERVICE
BY MAIL TO Be
PROVIDED
Annual Appropriation Bill To
Include the Plan
WEIGHT LIMIT II POUNDS
Senator Bourne Also Preparing a Par
cells Post Bill That VIII Have
Zone System

Washington, Feb. 20.-The House
committee on postofflces and post
roads will include in the annual ap-
preparation bill which originates with
them, provision for the establishment
of a parcels post service. This was
unofticially known today though it is
not likely that the bill will be sub
mitted to the House for two weeks
yet.
The limit OF weight will be increas-
ed from one to II pounds, and the
rate will be very considerably reduc-
ed from 16 cents, the present rate on
the pound limit. The provision in the
bill thus inaugurating this service for
which there has been such insistent
demand for several years is practic-
ally along the same lines as have
been the bills introduced by Repres-
entatiye Foster of Vermont to accom-
plish the same purpose, which Mr.
Foster has introduced and steadily ad
yocated at every session during his
term of service. Naturally he re
CARDS this final victory of the people
with much satisfaction, in view Of
his constant devotion to the cause.
Senator Bourne, chairman of the
Senate postoffice committee, has fol-
some time been engaged in the for
mutation of bill according to his
own theories, which he will later in
