KANSAS COMAENT
INGALLS, INDIGNANT.

Sheffield ingalls, system is all clog
ged up with condensed Indignation be-
cause Senator Bristow announced the
other day that he had not decided
which party he would select in which
to try to be reelected to the United
States senate. The lieutenant COVER
nor says that Bristow talks like the
unregenerated children of damnation.
the old party politicians. He appears
to have a suspicion that Bristow is
willing to go with any party that will
help him keep his job. In this Shelf
field is undoubtedly correct. But the
Atchison gentleman should not be too
severe upon the Sallna statesman.
Didn't ingalls, run for lieutenant gov
ernor and secure the election as a Re-
publican? If memory does not fail
us he didn't change his name from
the publican column when il was
decided that the name of Roosevelt
must be taken from that column and
that of Taft substituted. Not any.
Sheffield allowed his name to appear
under the eagle and under the name
of william H. Taft. He did that in
order to get the job. Had he held
the high patriotic notions then that
he breaches now and acted according
ly he would not have come anywhere
near being elected and he knew 1t.
The Times has not been retained as
defender of Bristow and is strongly
impressed with the belief that the

MORGAN AND PUJO.
The silliest thing likely to be said of
the death of ]. P. Morgan is that he
was killed by the Pujo investigat ting
committee. This statement was given
out by one of his physicians shortly
after the death of the great financier
in Rome last Sunday. Morgan was not
the sort of man to break down under
the examination of a mere committee
of congress. He had long held himself
superior to the ordinary laws and re-
garded a group of congressman inquir-
ing into his business as a sort of joke.
Morgan may have done wrong in his
day but he never knew it. He was
entirely convinced not only of the rec
titude but of the necessity of his fl
nancial methods. He appeared before
the Pujo committee not to defend him.
self but to do his best to enlighten a
stupid committee and criticizing pub
lie for their own good. 1t never oc-
CURED to him that he was on trial be-
fore his fellow citizens or that there
was anything in his career that re-
quired defense
But even if it were true that Nor
gan's ordeal before the money trust
committee killed him neither the COM
mittee nor the public that demanded
the investigation should suffer and sor-
row over the result. The world can
very well afford to lose every man
whose business methods are of such
nature that exposure is fatal to him.

If suffrage involved taking tobacco

MUNICIPAL JOURNAL RECALLED
Sixteen months ago the city of
Los Angeles elected a city admins
tration for a term of four years.
Every man on the ticket was a re-
former of the most pronounced stripe
and when they were all elected there
was great rejoicing among the up
filters. But last Monday they were
all recalled! They lasted out only a
little more than one-fourth of their
term, then the tinsel and gliding wore
away and they were found to be just
clay. Also a year ago the
city voted to establish a Municipal
Journal" The muckrakers had con-
WINGED the people that the papers they
already had could not be depended
upon to give the news or to tell the
truth, and so a city-own paper must
be started. And last Monday it also
was tucked away in it's little recall
coffin, the taxpayers having decided
that the $4,000 it had cost might
have been better spent. Los Angeles
is one of the star progressive" cities
of the country, but little by little it
seems to be learning that a change is
not necessarily a reform.-Iola Reg

The Mule.

The mule is a most beauteous bird. His
liquid voice is often heard throughout the
reaches of the night. His technique, it is
simply grand. His headstones have much
volume and his execution is all right and
when he sings his glad refrain his voice
scars like the aeroplane. He never suffers
with stage fright.
And like the opera singer, too, he's
stubborn, always through and through.
He also dearly loves to kick. He's hard
to manage, hard to please, although upon
your Bonded knees you beg of him until
you are sick. He always has his own
sweet way, no matter what you do or
say He has his way and has it quick.
OF all the voices east or west, he likes
his own sweet voice the best That is the
one and only bet. The other singers are
all fakes who cannot touch the tones he
makes No one gets notes that he can
get And when this ANIMAL see. it often
is impressed on me, he's like a lot of
folks I've met.

begun by Diocletian in 5O3, We are prob

BOURNE KEEPS FAITH
IN ROAD BUILDING PLAN
Former senator Wants Government
to I.sue $1,000, 100000 worth
of Bonds.

of Bonds.
In spite of the fact that bankers have
expressed doubt of the ability of the
Federal government to sell bond issue
running over period of fifty years at
only 3 per cent. former Senator Bourne
yesterday declared that his plan for a
national and State expenditure of 5000, :
100000 on good road construction and
maintenance would be introduced next
session with strong backing In both
houses.
The Bourne plan contemplates a 81
coo. 1000 issue OF 8 per cent Federal
bonds. to be exchanged for 4 per cent
State bonds. which shall have been issued
for road building purposes. The sum to
be derived from the per cent difference
in the interest rate is to be returned by
the Federal government to the States to
retire the bonds at the end of fifty years.
The amount of money to be raised by
each State is to be determined according
to population, area and assessed valu-
alton.
Two billion dollars is to be expended
for the maintenance of these roads-one-
half to be contributed by the States
and one-half by the Federal government
The maintenance cost is figured at 4
per cent annually as compared with 3
per cent,N which is the experience of
France.
Mr.. Bourne asserts that the provision
OF the entire scheme for fifty years in
advance removes all possibility of Con-
gress using this department of expendi-
ture as a political pork barrel"

REDFIELD AND GARRISON
ADDRESS LEGAL LIGHTS
Two Cabinet Officers Speak at Meet
ing of New Jersey Bar and
Bench Association. ----

New York, May A.-Lindley NJ Garri-
son, Of New Jersey, Secretary of War,
was guest of honor at a dinner held by
the bench and bar of the State of New
Jersey tonight at the Waldorf-Astoria-
Mr. Garrison, formerly vice chancellor
OF New Jersey, made no reference to
the Japanese situation, but in his re-
marks showed that he had done much
studying and had a grasp on the bust
ness of being Secretary of War.
The POSTMASTER was Edward Rober,
Walker, chancellor of New Jersey. Gov
Fielder, William c. Redfeld. Secretary
of Commerce and Labor; Justice Francis
]. Swayne, and Gilbert Collins were the
other speakers
Mr. Garrison criticised the system OF
spreading the army over the entire
country in the l57 army posts. If. he
argued, each post was given the same
garrison there would be but z2 men
at each station. He declared that he
favored a system that more nearly
modified the army or So arranged the
posts and apportionment that the army
could be brought together in short time.
Mr.. Redfeld gave a brief history of
recent tariff legislation and pledges. He
devoted time to comparing the Payne
Aldrich tarif bill and the bill passed
by the Sixty-second Congress and vetoed
by the President.
Mr.. Redfeld declared that Mr.. Taft
was elected on the clearly understood
idea OF a downward tariff revision. This
failing to bring results a Democratic
House was elected in 1910, and their eff
forts at reduction were vetoed by the
President.

TARIFF REVISION NOT
TO EFFECT LIVING COST
Representative Lindbereh Believes
Pending Legislation VIII Not
Help Consumers' Pocket.

Representative Charles A. Lindbergh.
of Minnesota, in an address before mem
bers of the Washington Swedish congre-
cation. gathered in Luther Place Memorial
Church at an entertainment for the ben
eft of their mission. told them 1t is use
less for the people to expect a diminu-
ton of the high cost of living from tariff
legislation TO be passed at this session
Of Congress.
NO legislation that this Congress may
pass will relieve the present high cost
of living.f he said. THE cause for the
high cost of necessities today is to be
found in the prevailing wasteful methods
OF distribution Problems of production
have held the sole attention so long that
economic reforms are only attempted
from a production standpoint. The re-
vision of the tariff will have but little
effect upon the cost Of things
In speaking of the work OF Congress.
Mr.. Lindbergh, who is a progressive, told
his audience that Congress must be
driven by the people, forced TO give the
best legislation. He said that Congress
is never as progressive as the people,
and intimated that the people all over
the world are confronted by a dispro-
portionately high cost of living. and that
they must take their legislators by the
ears to force remedial legislation from
them.
Representative Lobeck of Nebraska fol-
lowed Mr.. Lindbergh. He made the first
part of his address in Swedish. Mr.. Lo-
beck told his hearers of the large con-
tribution of the Swedish people to the
upbuilding and success of this country.
Rev. A. J. Enstam, pastor OF the
Swedish congregation. conducted the pro-
gramme of the entertainment Besides
the address. several piano selections were
given by Mrs. Jennie Lind, and a duet
by Mr.. and Mrs. Lind. Miss Lillian
