President Wilson's administration
is now four months old and the
president has done SO much better
in that time than Taft did in his
first four months that comparisons
are distressing to republicans. In
four months Taft had surrended to
the Aldrich-C Cannon standpat fac
ton, but Wilson has completely
captured the Clark Underwood
standpatters and has their scalps
dangling at his belt. OF all the sad
words of thought or pen the saddest
are these. it might have been q
blamed sight different II Taft had
really been a progressive. as he pre-
tended to be before he was elected
president.

respect he is like Senator'S Cummins

Congressman Mann referred to
President Wilson one day last week

The democratic ambassador to
the court OF st. James doesn't seem
to take much stock in Jefersonian

President Wilson is likely to have
rs much trouble over Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds as President Taft
had over Secretary Ballinger. They
seem to be the same species Of states
men.
Col. Roosevelt is of the opinion
that the American people would not
submit to a law that permitted Jap

such a step would be opening the
way for citizenship to the Chinese.
A. d. Baldwin, a Cleveland at

Wall street is all "het" up over the
announcement that the government,
in the event of a money panic, has
$500, 900, 900 to loan to responsible
bankers. That $500, 100000 ought
to postpone any date Wall street
may hit upon to precipitate a panic.
The intense heat in Kansas the
past few weeks has caused several
men to lose their memories. Possib-

The more the truth comes out,
one sees that President Wilson
started a good thing in the lobby
investigation. A lot of things have
been accepted as quite proper I'M
der republican administrations in
the past, which will not be the
fashion in the future?-Davenport
Democrat.
The Democrat is unfair in its in
situations that these things were
popular under republican admins
trations. The fact of the matter Is,
they were carried on quietly and
democrats were just as susceptible
to the influences of the "insidious
lobby" as were republicans. Sena-
tor Cummins is the man who intro
duced the resolution in the senate to
Investigate the lobby. This lobby
business is a part Of 1.-The invisible
government" detected and exposed
first by Senator Beverage. These
insidious influences know no politics
and their exposure and humiliation

In England incomes of more than
$3.50 are taxed and the government
finds this tax a source Of much rev
enue. There would be much oppo-
sition to taxing such incomes in this
country, as 1t would hit the major
ity Of the people but few of us care
how much taxes the fellow having
an income of $4,000 or $4,000 a
year have to pay. "Put it to the
RICH" is the slogan.
