An impossible Program

Sioux City Journal: Senator Cum
minis In his latest interview declares
that the reduction of southern repre-.
sentation is secondary matter in the
Republican reform program; that the
main desideratum is the substitution
of state for national authority in de
termining the makeup of the national
convention. On this point the senator
says: Where the states have primary
laws that govern the election of dele.
gates it will be an easy matter to pro.
vide by party rule that the certificates
issued by local officials shall be final
evidence emitting delegates to seats
in the convention Where such laws
do not exist, however, / believe that
republican authorities in each state,
either the state committee or a special
board. should pass on all contests and
settle the eligibility of delegations be-
fore they go to the national conven.
ton
Senator Cummins' plan ought not to
be adopted. 1t may be correctly de-
scribed as plan for destroying the
integrity of the national convention
and through it the coherency of the
national republican party The blat-
ant impracticability of the idea would
be recognized at once if it were proposs
ed to apply it to any official represen-
tative body In national affairs. Sup
pose, for instance, Senator Cummins
should undertake to apply the same
principle to the body of which he is a
member. 1t would mean that the Unit
ed States senate could no longer be
the judge of the qualifications of its
members. Il Would mean that the SEN
ate must accept any member who
might come to 1t with a certificate of
election from the state authority The
member In question might have been
elected irregularly or corruptly. Some
scandal might have arisen since his
election that would make him totally
unfit to sit in the United States sen
ate Under the Cummins idea he
would have to be admitted, so long as
his credentials from the state author
ity were in proper form. The same
rule applied to the house of representa-
tives would take all questions of quail.
fications for membership out of the
hands of the house and lodge them
with the several states. The evil in
such RELOCATION of authority was rec
ognized and guarded against when the
constitution provided that each house
of the national legislative body should

RAILWAY MAIL PAY.

1t is announced from Washington
that the postoffice department Off
Gals are rapidly completing the ad-
justment of compensation to the rail-
roads for carrying the mails on ac-
count of the increased weight follow
ing the establishment of the parcel
post, allowing within the per cent
authorized by congress right up to
the amount earned by each railroad,
computed upon the estimated weight
of mails carried Some railroads have
been allowed as little as 111a per cent,
while other roads have been allowed
the full per cent. Roads allowed
less than 5 per cent are complaining
because the department did not make
a fat increase of 5 per cent to all
roads. Oficials hold that they are
not authorized to give any railroad a
larger rate of increase than it would
have been entitled to If reweighing
of the mails had been authorized by
congress. The average increase al
lowed is considerably below per
cent. This shows that the careful
estimates of the increase due TO the
parcel post place the added weight
below the amount claimed by the
roads.
Ralph Peters, president CT the Long
Island Railway company and chair
man of the Railroads Committee on
Railway Mail Pay, has addressed a
long communication to Postmaster
General Burleson in reply to an in
teryiew with that official which APP
peared in a New York newspaper on
October ]. Burlescn was quoted as
saying that he was perfectly willing
10 consider any evidence the railroads
have to show that they are not receiy-
ing adequate compensation for carry
ing the mails Mr.. PEERS letter
contains spicy criticism of former
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
in 1909 sent to congress a report In
which he contended that upon a basis
therein set forth the railroads were
receiving s9,000.0o0 more annually for
carrying the mails then they were en-.
titled to. To offset this, the Commit
tee on Railway Mail Pay contends that

safety department interests of the
islands will permit. The administra-
ton will take one step at once. 1t
viii give to the native citizens of tho
islands majority in the appointive
commission and thus in the upper as
well as in the lower house of the leg
islature. It will do this in the con-
fident hope and expectation that inn
mediate proof will thereby be given,
in the action of the commission under
the new arrangement, of the political
CAPACITY of those native citizens who
have already come forward to repre-
sent and lead their people in affairs :"
At the same time Governor Harrison
reminded the Filipinos in his speech
that until your independence is com.
.plete we shall demand unremitting
recognition of our sovereignty" Every
reference to coming independence was
greeted with applause from the ma
tive hears. Heretofore, the appoint
ive commission has been composed of
five Americans and four Filipinos.
Hereafter it will stand six Filipinos
to three Americans.

The Maryland court of appeals or
Tuesday handed down its opinion up
holding the principle of race segre
cation as between white and colored
people in the city of Baltimore, where
an ordinance had been passed limit
ing the residential areas at the dis.
'posal of each race. Difficulties in the
way of enforcing the ordinance were
pointed out, chief of which was the
failure to require due public notice
as to what blocks were for the colored
and which for the white But it was
believed that these defects could be
overcome by further legislation. The
Court said 1t could not be contended
that the fourteenth amendment, took
from the state the police power pos
sessed when the constitution was
adopted. Tho West ordinance de-
clares that negroes shall not move
into a block where the whites are in
a majority and that whites must not
move into one having a majority of
negroes.

IMPROVED METHODS TO AID

Improvement in farming methods,

marketing and good roads were dis
cussed at the conference Of delegates
from the thirty-four state bankers as.
sociations, which have committee
on agriculture and education, held In
Boston last week, with B. F. Harris
of Illinois presiding.
Resolutions recently adopted at the
Kansas City conference held Aug. 26-
81 were read. together with a series
OF questions sent out through various
states for the purpose of gathering
definite information in regard to the
relations between the banker and the
farmer.
1t was stated that the whole agri-
cultural proposition must be consid-
cred in three ways: First, as an in.
dustry 1t must have effective methods
applied; second, as business It must
have business methods applied; third,

President Wilson has written let
ter to the editor of the washington
Post making fiat denial OF state
|ment that was printed in that paper
to the effect that he, the President,
had said that any one who does not
support him is no Democrat and a
rebel. He asked that the Post give u
very prominent place in its next issue
tc this denial, saying that statement
was contrary to his thought and to his
character. No President was ever be-
fore known to make direct personal
Genial to a newspaper, others having
depended on inspired statements and
secretary or friends. Thus new VIII

national committee in making UP the
| temporary roll, but would paralyze the
| function of the credentials committee
in the convention. If the credentials
issued by the local election officials
shall be final evidence emitting the
| delegates to seats in the convention,
| there would be nothing for the con-
ventiOn to do but to accept all regu-
larly credentialed delegates as entitled
! to sit throughout the session Indeed,
having surrendered to the state the
right to determine who shall repre-
| sent it In the national convention, it
would be grave question whether the
| convention would have the right to ex-
pei delegates for fragrant defiance of
authority on the floor of the conven-
ton. Certainly, democratic states
could send Democrats as delegates to
| the republican national convention,
: having gone through the form of elect
| ing them at primary, and the conven-
ton would have no means of throwing
them out.
II the republican party as an organi-
cation is to continue to do business
through national convention, that
convention must have full authority
to deal with any question affecting par
ty integrity. 1t must hold jurisdiction
over: the qualifications Of Its members.
Some natioanl authority must prepare
temporary convention roll Other
wise there would be no authoritive
way of deciding which of the contest
ing delegates held regular credentials.
The republican national convention is
the legislative body for the party. Just
as soon as it surrenders control over
its own membership it losses its eff
| fectiveness
II 1t is now considered desirable to
apply the primary principle to nation
al nominations the way to do 1t Is
through a national presidential pri-
mary law. applying to all parties and
', doing away with national conventions
for nominating purposes. This is as
logical in national politics as in state
politics. While there are difficulties
to be met, none of them is likely to
prove more formidable than those
which will confront the effort to have
an emasculated convention perform
the functions of real convention. 1t
was understood last year that Senator
Cummins would father movement to
secure the enactment of national
presidential primary. If he is bound
to have something new he should re-
vive that movement rather than con-
tinue his present effort to transform
the national convention into an absurd
ity.

KIND WORDS.

KIND WORDS.
What silences we keep year after
year
With those who are most near to us
and dear;
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak of myriad things, but sell
dom say
The full, sweet word that lies within
our reach
Beneath the common ground Of com
mon speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach
they go,
These dear familiar friends who loved
us SO,
And, sitting in the shadows they have
left,
Alone with lonliness and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret of some
kind word
That once we might have said and
they have heard.

According to the department Of
agriculture's figures the average yield
OF wheat per acre in the United States
IN 1910 was but 14.ol bushels-a dis.
gracefully low figure, as compared
with the production OF many other
countries. This poor showing is not
due to any natural lack of fertility in
the soil, but to the slipshod methods
of many farmers, especially those OF
the west, These have taken a rich
soil and have so exhausted it BY an
uninterrupted round of grain crops
that its productivity has been reduc-
ed to less than one-half of what it
was. The ultimate result is not only
disastrous to the farmer himself but
has an even more serious bearing as
ore g the causes Of the present high
cost of living. TIE land is not pro
deeing what it shoulA s:,uply because
of the unintelliaent ,aethaae OF cul
tiyation followed.
