Senator Root is only a little more
than one year older now than he was
while presiding over the 1912 re-
publican national convention, and
no one noted any signs of superan-
nuation in his handling of difficult
situation at that time.-Sioux City
Journal.
The senator is a man Of fine quail
tiles and it may be assumed that his
conscience, that cruel taskmaster,
has dealt harshly with him since that
memorable conventional man OF Sen
ator Roots high ideals could hardly
escape the punishment that his intel
lect teaches him is his due. In that
event the senator may be excused
for declaring that he is now too old
to become a candidate for the presi-
dency.

Postmaster General Burleson has
come out squarely for government
ownership of telephone and tele-
graph lines and it is said that the
only reason President Wilson has not
advocated that principle is due to
the enormous cost such policy
would entail. The postmaster gen.
eral says the experience of the gov
eminent with the parcel post demon
states that the government could
successfully conduct the telephone
and telegraph business.

gates supported Roosevelt, but their
previous vote in favor of seating OPP
ponents of Roosevelt made their lat
err vote for him of no avail, and that
is Just what they wanted. The par
ty must make it impossible for con-
scienceless men to repeat such per-
Torrance in future conventions. OF
course, direct presidential primar-
les, as urged by President Wilson,
will overcome this objection, but it
is hardly likely direct primaries will
be reached for a number of years to
come. AS a starter, it is likely the
first presidential primary law will
provide for the selection of delegates
by that method.
President Wilson did good thing
when he advocated presidential pri-
maries, but he has not escaped the
suspicion that his own personal fort
unes had something to do with such
advocacy. Now if he would swat
the secret congressional caucus he
would show that he is guided only
by thoughts of the public welfare.
But the president has used that eau
Gus to his own advantage and it is
not likely that he is Independent
enough to turn his back upon it..
However that may be, the secret
caucus is doomed and some day it
will 20 to the scrap heap with other
discarded and discredited rubbish. 1t
is relic of the days of special priv
ilege and an instrument to thwart
the will and scar the conscience of
representatives of the people.
Quite a few of the newspapers
throughout the country are publish
ing short articles that have appear
ed in the Mexico City papers. So
ridiculous are the articles that an
educated person of this coun.
try can scarcely believe that any
newspaper would have the audacity
to publish them. One paper pub
fishes an item stating that the
United States is now in the throes
Of war between the blacks and
whites: that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan are having hard
time to keep from being overthrown
by the blacks and that they will not
have any time to intervene in Mex
lico. Such articles are beneficial in
showing the people of this country
the absolute ignorance which exists
| in Mexico. Statistics state that only
ten per cent of the population of
Mexico are capable of reading and
writing.

Iowa spends about $17,0OO,O0O
per year for educational purposes"
says the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
That's big sum, but Iowa can
afford that-and great deal more,
if the money is wisely spent. The
states wealth is so large compared
to the amount spent for educational
and other good purposes that the
kicker hasn't a right to utter even
one yelp."
