LET PEOPLE RULE,
SAYS ROOSEVELT


Der OF reputable AMI honorable men
who down at bottom dlstrust popular
government and when they must ac-
cept II accept IL with reluctance and
hedge around Il with every species OF
restriction and check and balance so
as to make the power Of the people as
limited and as ineffective as possible.
Mr.. Taft fairly defines the issue when
he saws that our government Is ana
should be government of all the peo-
ple by representative part of the peo-
ple This is an excellent and moderate
description Of an oligarchy. 1t defines
orr government as government or all
of the people by few Of the people.
am not speaking jokingly nor do
mean TO he unklnd. for | repeat that
many honorable and well meaning men
of high character take this view and
have taken it from the time of the for
nation of the nation. Essentially TINS
view is that the constitution Is a strait
Jacket TO be used for the control OF an
unruly patient-the people. Now,
hold that this view is not only false,
but mischievous. that our constitutions
are instruments designed to secure JUS
tice by securing the deliberate but eff
fectivc expression Of the popular Will
that the checks and balances are valua-
able as far and only so far as they ac-
complish that deliberation and that 1t
is a warped and unworthy and improp-
or construction of our form of gov
eminent TO see In It only a means of
thwarting the popular will and Of pre-
venting justice. Mr.. Taft says that
"everv class" should have "vOice" in
the government That seems TO be
very serious misconception of the
American political situation. The real
trouble with us is that some classes
have had too much voice. One of the
most important of all the lessons to be
taught and TO be learned Is that n man
should vote not rs a representative OF
a class, but merely as good citizen,
whose prime interests are the same as
those of all other good citizens.
Taft's disbelief In the People"
Mr.. Taft again and again, in quota
lions l have given and elsewhere
through his speech, expresses his dis
belief in the people when they vote at
the polls. In one sentence he says that
the proposition gives powerful effect
to the momentary impulse OF major
ity of an electorate and prepares tie
way for the possible exercise of the
Crossest tyranny" Elsewhere he
speaks of the "feverish uncertainty"
and unstable determination" of laws
by Temporary and changing MAORI
ties" and again he s,.ys that the sys-
TEN propose would result in suspen-
sion or application Of constitutional
guarantees according to popular
whim," which would destroy call pos
sible consistency in constitutional in
depreciation. I should much like to
know the exact distinction that is to
be made between what Mr.. Taft calls

BACK SEAT
FOR WIDOWS
Ought Not To Be Allowed But
One Prize. The "IIl-Die.
For-You Man" No Good.
Girls Too Particular Some
times

Brockton, Mass, March Co. The
Rev. William +. Heating, curate at
st. Patrick's Catholic Church, in a
special Le1ten sermon last night ar
oused much interest with his views on
marriage. Here is some of his advice:
"Women who could marry and don't
often are too particular. They start
out in life by saying they will marry
the man the man they want or none at
all and usually it is none at all.
"a widow has no right to set her
cap for any man until all the young
girls have been supplied with husbands.
Profting by their first experience, Wild
ows practice their wles on men and
thereby win second prizes. A man will
have to be most extraordinary to be as
good as the first husband.
at is folly for woman to think she
can change the habits of man after
marriage. Do not exercise less care
in sele sting husband than you would
in choosing a girl to take charge of
your mothers kitchen.
''Do not marry stingy man. Do
not marry spendthrift
"Do not put too much confidence in
the man who says, I'D die tor you
You don't want him to die. You want
him to live and work"

"thc fitful impulse % q temporary ma
jority" when applied to n question such
as that I raise and any other question.
Remember that under my proposal TO
review n rule Of decision by popular
vote. amending or constituting TO that
extent the constitution. would certainly
take at least two years from the time
OF the election Of the legislature which
passed the act. Now. only four months
elapse between the nomination and the
election of a man as president, TO I'LL
for four years the most important Of
fee in the land. In one of Mr.. Tafts
speeches he speaks of "the voice OF
the people as coming next TO the voice
of God" Apparently, then. the decision
of the people about the presidency, aft
or four months elaboration. is to be
treated as next to the voice of God"
but IL after two years Of sober thought
they decide that women and children
shall be protected in industry. or men
protected from excessive hours Of labor
under unhygenic conditions, or wage
workers compensated when they lose
life or limb I'm the service of others,
then their decision forthwith becomes
a "whim" and "feverish" and 'unsta-
ble' and an exercise of "the grossest
tyranny" and the laying of the AK to
the foot of the tree of freedom" That
is the old, old doctrine which has been
acted upon for thousands of years
abroad and which here in America has
been acted upon sometimes openly,
sometimes secretly. for forty years by
many men in public and in private
life, and | am sorry to say by many
Judges: doctrine which has in fact
tended TO create a bulwark for privi-
lege a bulwark unjustly protecting
special interests against the rights Of
the people as a whole This doctrine
is to me n dreadful doctrine. for its eff
feet is, and can only be, to make the
courts the shield of privilege against
popular rights. Naturally. every up
holder and beneficiary of crooked priv
ilege loudly applauds the doctrine. 1t
is behind the shield of that doctrine
that crooked clauses creep into laws.

The regular meeting of the w. c. T.
L. was held a the home Of Mrs. Q. B.
Sas Tuesday afternoon. Ten mem
bers and one visitor. Mrs. Washburn
of Ocala, were present. After the
usual business an election of officers
was held with the following result:
Mrs. Bryant and Mrs. Ridge were re-
elected president and treasurer, re-
spectively. on account of her multi
tudinous duties Mrs. Mott asked to be
relieved of the office o. secretary. AS
she had served long and faithfully her
resignation was accepted, and Mrs.
COnnor was elected. The vice presi-
dents, Mrs. Fielding and Mrs. Weihe,
were appointed by the president. The
program for the afternoon was to have
been the reading of the essays on the
value and purposes of the W. c. T. u,
but so much time was taken up by
necessary business that the literary
part was postponed. The meeting ad-
journed after appointing the next
meeting place at Mrs. Weihe's the sec
ond Tuesday in January.
The union church service, which is
held on the third Sunday evening of
each month under the auspices of the
w. c. I. L, will be in the Methodist
chuEcn the coming SUNDAY. Inc sup
ject is Sabbath Observance and the
program is in the eficie hands OF
Mrs. Whittier. Mrs. Adams and Mrs
Weihe. The meetings thus far have
been helpful and interesting and the
union would feel much gratified to see
the church well filled.
AIRS. Lane, who was a delegate to
the state convention, feels highly hon
ored in being appointed by the state
president, Miss Neal, as president OF
the temperance work in Marion and
Levy counties, but as there would be
great difficulty in the matter Of trans
portation from one union to another
and the many duties which devoIve
upon her as pastors wife, she feels
that she viii be obliged 10 decline the
honor This is to be regretted as such
able work as she is qualified to do is
greatly needed in rousing the white
Ribboners'' TO make greater efforts
for the benefit of the cause.

An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in SEES.
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb.
OF Chicago, charged that there is in existence a
coffee combine which is 'the most monstrous i'm
position in the history of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. 1t comes very close to being literally
true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used
IN the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which conn.,
pels American consumers, as NJ. Webb said, s'to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that The consume
ers Of the United States have been compelled to
pot UP the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been r,ade effective.
There Were formerly revenue duties imposed upos
ali coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed al export duty UPON ?
coffee UP to the full amount OF the iorlsler customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merry went into the treasury Of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued 30 cost him the
came old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''va!orization' plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enaes derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in a season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
Keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much. higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining a trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
surners to pay an exorbitant price for The coffee
they use. What is the remedy?-SeanAe Post-In-
