FRAUDULNET APPEALS
TO THE PEOPLE
columbus Dispatch)

The idea persists that, because a
man favors the principle of the refer
endum, he must approve such a vote
under any and all circumstances. One
might as well say that, because a
man likes pie, he is inconsistent in
refusing 1t for breakfast or declining
to eat it when it is bad. A referen-
dunn on laws passed by the legislature
is good thing in the abstract, but it
is not good thing when fraudulently
invoked. The law provides the meth
cd of invoking it, and n is as much
the business of the governor to see
to the proper enforcement Of that law,
with respect to all its conditions, as it
is to TO enforce any other law. IL the
referendum is to be f2yoked by fic-
titious or fraudulent petition, or 9th
erwise without comfliance with the
conditions stipulated, then It's use be-
comes mockery. Anybody on any
pretense may use this method of leg.
islation, and confusioa and trouble
may result. Those who argue that
fraudulent appeal to che Beopie is good
because 1t is to the people that the
appeal is made. are either Anticipated
or perverse.

administrator meagre record thus
far "is in connection with the tariff
and with discreditable impotence in
foreign affairs" AS for the tariff, it
is merely a red herring dragged
across the trail to divert our people
from the real issues" That would be
bad enough, but the worst is still to
come, for it appears that "the present
tariff bill has been handled by precise
ly the same improper methods by
which the PayneAldrich law was en-
acted"
This will be news to the protected
interests, to wool and steel and sugar
and cotton and the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers. Later we shall
doubtless learn from Mr.. Roosevelt's
scrupulously truthful pen that the ad-
ministrations currency bill was drawn
to please wall street and the National
City bank. Live and learn, live and
learn.
Roosevelts attack upon President
Wilson in his Century article comes at
a time when the president has admit
tedly won the confidence of the irtelli-
gent elements of all parties. Tariff re-
vision downward will soon be an ac-
complished fact. The currency tangle,
with which neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor
Mr.. Taft made any headway, is about
to be Strengthened out. In the Mexi-
can matter the policy which Mr..
Roosevelt describes as "discreditable
impotence" has been acclaimed by
practically a unanimous public senti-
ment the dissenting votes being cast
by Theodore Roosevelt, William r.
Hearst and a New Mexico senator who
is avowedly interested "in mining in
Mexico"
When Mr.. Roosevelt decided to be-
come a candidate for president in 1912
he had little difficulty in destroying
Mr.. Taft politically, because the Taft
administration was already discredit-
ed by its own record. But in promot-
ing his 1916 ambitions Mr.. Roosevelt
is dealing with different man and a
different situation. In assailing Wood
row Wilson he is "biting the granite"
as Bismarck once said, and while this
occupation may amuse a perpetual
candidate, 1t will have no serious effect
upon the granite.

ROBBED employer
TO GO TO OXFORD
Cleveland Youth Comes to Grief
In New York.

New York, Sept. 90. Wilbur
Foerste. II, high school boy, .ob1ed
the Cleveland department store for
which he worked as an errand boy of
81 l,400 Saturday, and was arrested with
the money in his pockets here on a
New York Central train He told de-.
tectives who caught him that it had
been his ambition to enter oxford
university, and that when he sudden
ly found 81 400 IN cash in his hands
he couldn't resist temptation. He had
planned to sail Wednesday on the
Mauretania. He had determined. he
said. to go straight to oxford and to
enter a preparatory school which
would fit him for university course.
AS young Foerste told his story his
eyes field with tears, but he didn't
appear to be dismayed over the situa-
ton.
On Saturday morning an assistant
cashier OF William Taylors depart
ment store, Cleveland, called young
Foerste and handed him q package Of
currency containing Si.400 in bills of
various denominations. He told him
to take the money to the office of the
chief cashier Instead of doing so ne
slipped from the store and, after max
ing a few purchases, boarded train
for New York.
The store people discovered their
loss and notified the Cleveland police
department. Chief r. S. Rowe, figur-
ing that young Foerste would make
for New York, telegraphed to the de-
tective bureau here description OF
the fugitive Two detectives here
boarded the train from Cleveland on
its arrival at the One Hunded and
! Twenty-fifth street station and arrest
ed the youth. It was found that the
only money he had spent was for his
railroad and travelling expenses.
Young Foerste was arraigned today
on charge of grand larceny and Is
being held to await the arrival of de-
tectiyes with requisition papers.

MYSTERY OF LEPRosY.
And the Treatment Its Victims Re.
ceived In the Middle Ages.

And the Treatment It's Victims Re-
ceived In the Middle Ages.
Why leprosy occurs in certain places
and not in others is one of the mys-
teries of medicine. In the early centu-
ries of the Christian era 1t spread all
over Europe. Every city had its leper
house. For no cause that any one can
assign 1t began to disappear early In
the sixteenth century. and Europe soon
numbered its empty lazarettos by thou
sands. Climate has no influence on
the disease, for when it left the most
of Europe it persisted In Norway, Ice
land, Spain and the islands of the Med.
iterranean. In Asia 1t is to be found
from India TO Siberia. and no part of
Africa is free from 1t.
That leprosy can be planted in new
territory is shown most pointedly in
the terrible experience of Hawaii,
which was free from the disease until
about 1880, when the Chinese brought
1t there. Now Molokai is name to
make men shudder,
In the middle ages 1t was the Gus
tom to consider a man dead whenever
he was found to have leprosy. His
heirs divided his property, a funeral
service was said for him and shovel
full of earth thrown after him as he
walked to his living grave in the leper
house. The world is kinder now, but
knows no treatment for this scourge
which is much more effective.-St Lou

further proofs os my identity-s pass
