Would Mean More Offices.

Not the least of the arguments OF
standard worth that are advanced
against the income tax is the fact
that the collection of the revenues
will involve vast horde of addi-
tional government agents. The coun-
try is already saddled with some A.
900 special agents with inquisitorial
powers. The question is asked wheth-
er the good expected to accrue from
the income tax will be commensurate
with the evil of creating another le-
gion of the bureaucratic forces. The
country is running to bureaucratic
government under the guise of Demo
cratic rule.

Their Worth, Voters Will

The farewell reception given by GER
tain Progressive organizations to Col
onel Roosevelt on the eve of his de-
parture for six months trip to Pata-
gonia and other points attractive to
explorers In South America, was of In.
terest to the nation and especially to
politicians. Mr.. Roosevelt declared
that he proposed to come back" to
stay In active politics, to battle for
his principles, to remain in the fray
and never surrender.
He declared that he would never
abandon the principles to which we
Progressives have pledged ourselves"
or the men and women who have raj
lied around him; that next year we
shall enter undaunted as national
party on another national campaign"
and that he personally will never rest
content until every single principle
enunciated by us has been put into
practical operation in this nation
This means, of course, that Mr..
Roosevelt will be the next candidate

Mr.. Roosevelt declared, when he had
decided to displace La Toilette as the
Progressive candidate, that he was the
only possible leader of the movement,
the real progressive leader. Recent
events seem to confirm his diagnosis;
when he was in the field he attracted
an immense vote; on every occasion
since he has been in quiescence the
Progressive party from Maine to IL
linois, from Pennsylvania and New

She was probably the only person
who knew whittier Ferdinand's secret
hopes tended, and she foretold that
disaster would come at the moment
when his star seemed most in the as
cendant. When in the recent war
luck turned against him, the soldiers
murmured among themselves: Sure
ly this is what our princess foretold.
Every Sin demands its punishment"
After her death, King Ferdinand,
DESTROYS of restoring the great state
functions which were vital feature
OF his court, looked around for hos
tess who would share the throne,
which from being princely had now
been raised to the status of royalty.
But 1t was not easy for him to find a
mate. No Catholic princess would
give her hand; he made saey erai-over
lures at the Russian court, but there
was no Grand Duchess forthcoming

cess OF the House of Reuss consented

ago by Marie Louise.
Though unpossessed of her pre-.
decessor's winning charm. she has
nevertheless done great and good
work in Bulgaria. During the recent
war her devotion to the wounded was
unbounded. but 1t is well known that
her married life is by no means hap
ply. her relations with her husband be-
ing markedly strained.
Ferdinand himself has never con.
cealed the fact that, In spite OF their
differences. his heart and allegiance
are with the princess. whose shade
hovers round him, admonishing and
shielding. Confident of her never
failing assistance, he alone is not

Roosevelt Against Compromise.

Mr.. Roosevelt says to his followers
there must be no compromise with the
Republicans. Stand firm. Continue the
organizations, and add to their num-
Der and effectiveness wherever pos
sible. Keep the doors open, SO that re-
cruits from the Republicans, with eyes
opened at last, may come in. But all

cease. The Progressives have just be-
