REPUBLICANS IN THE SPOT
LIGHT.

1t appears that the votes and
democratic senators that forty-nine
of the tifty-one may be depended
upon to vote for the new tariff bill
If forty-nine democrats support the
measure and all others oppose it, it
will be carried by majority of one.
But why should all others oppose
it? There are republicans in the
senate pledged as truly to tax reduc-
ton as any democrat. There are re-
publicans in the senate who would
not be there if the people who elect
ed them had suspected that on this
issue they would array themselves
with the standpatters or split hairs
in behalf of privilege.
Business men who are weary OF
the thirty years war against extor-
tionate tariffs and who would like
to know when the new law will take
effect may appropriately address
themselves to this element. Several
of these independent republicans rep
resent states that on this question
are radically democratic. They can
prolong the agony or they can end it.
They can give monopoly a new lease
of life, perhaps, or they can finish 1t
with stroke.
Republicanism is in a minority in
most places, but it cannot escape a
certain responsibility for what is
about to take place in the senate. 1t
is to be all for the interests, or is a
respectable section of it to be for the
people?-New York World.

HOW THE PRESIDENT IS PAID.

The question is often asked, how
the president gets his salary
whether he goes to the treasury at
the end OF each working day and
draws his 240-odd dollars, or
whether he waits till the end OF the
week, month or term for his money,
says the Pathfinder. The answer is
that he does not get his pay directly
from the treasury, and he is the only
government official who is thus paid.
and his pay days are once month
ON the last working day OF the
month. President Wilson had to
wait till March 3 for his first taste
of Uncle Sans money. Then he got
an "unaccountable warrant for
$685..
This was figured to cover the por-
ton of the whole month beginning
with March 4, counting the month as
thirty days. Actually he did not
take office till after noon of the 4th,
and President Taft held down the
Job till that hour. But this was by a
fiction. The administration is sup
posed to end with midnight of March
3, but it would be announcement to
transfer the government at such a
time and so the change is made
twelve hours later. No fractions OF
days are recognized, however, in
paying presidents, and the halliday
President Taft did not get paid for
on March was made up by the ex-
ira half day he was paid for at the
beginning of his term.
President Wilson's monthly war
rant hereafter will be $6,250, or
just one-twelfth of his full yearly
salary of $4,000. Senators, repre-
sentatives and other government Of
fcials are paid by slightly different
system. The vice president is paid
by the secretary of state, who also
pays the senators and senate en-
ployes. His salary is $4,000, but he
does not get just an even thousand a
month. The annual salary is first
divided into four parts OF $4,000
each for each quarter year. The
quarterly amount is then again di-
yided up into monthly parts accord
ing to the actual number of calen-
dar days in that quarter.
BY a singular custom which was
started in Washington's time and
which for some reason has never
been changed, the president is paid
by what is called an ''unaccountable
warrant" That is, he is allowed to
draw mis- money each month, but he
is not credited with his services I'M
til the end of his term. 1t is now
proposed to change this and pay him
by settlement warrant" so that
his account will be closed at the end
of each month.

Senator Cummins, when governor
Of Iowa, left his executive Office and
for months campaigned this state for
senator, neglecting the public bust
ness and drawing his full salary for
it. Theodore Roosevelt, when presi-
dent, often left Washington and
toured on special trains all over the
United States, hunting or political
speaking or doing what he pleased
and his salary of $4,000 year went
steadily on. Taft was even more of
a traveller. Congressman get $500
a year and they want more than six
months out of every twelve to con-
duct their own business and build
political fences while every United
States senator who can speaks it out
on the lecture and Chautauqua plat
forms with big pay between sessions.
The difference with all these men
and Bryan is that the secretary has
been honest to admit that he needs

Congressman Pepper; chairman OF

vestigating the question OF whether
it will be necessary to have leglsla-
lures in several of the states reas-
semble before the primaries next
summer in order to pass laws proV1d-
ing the legal machinery to place IN
operation the constitutional amend
ment for the election OF senators by
direct vote. The present view is that
legislation is necessary to provide
means for placing the names OF can
didates for the senate on the ballot,
although Governor Goldsborough OF
Maryland in calling a provision for
special election to fill vacancy
made this provision with writ OF
election by executive order.
A cartoon in recent issue OF the
Des Moines Register and Leader IN
which Senator Cummins was ADVISED
to leave the sinking republican snip
and pull for shore in a progressive
boat has attracted comment IN wash

mean that the Register and Leader

THE IOWA STRADDLE.

1t was none other than Senator
Cummins who uttered these burning
words:
The moment protection becomes
unnecessary, free trade is demanded
by every consideration OF justice and
equality. ...
This is what is known in the west
as the Iowa straddle. 1t kept many
republicans with low-tariff constitu-
encies in office for life. These heroes
are for free trade or something like
it before election, but afterward they
find that protection is necessary;
likewise revenue.
What is really necessary in this
country is revenue. but it almost
breaks the heart of an Iowa republic
can to discover that there may be
both revenue and protection and that
democrats will not dodge either OF

CONSPIRACY OF CLAMOR.

From the present time till October
and perhaps for quite a while there
after, there will be periodical rum.
ors that European powers have de.
manded' that the United States take
this, that or the other action in Mexi-
co.
All such yarns should be discredit-
ed in advance. They are part of the
conspiracy Of clamor by which inter
ested parties are trying to force in
PREVENTION in Mexico. Europe isn't
demanding" things of the United
States, and If it were, the demand
would be politely bu. firmly rejected
American policy under the Wilson
administration will be dictated by
American interests, the interests OF
the whole people, not of group OF
anxious investors or irresponsible
jingoes.
Mexican elections will be held in
October. If at that time the dis
tracted country south of the Rio
Grande seems to support in good
faith the bloodstained regime of
Huerta, President Wilson doubtless
will accept the verdict of the ballot
boxes. If no valid election is held,
the president may be trusted to do
whatever best accords with the ira
ditions and interests of the United
States. If Huerta is deposed before
election, as now seems possible, the
administration at Washington still
will be on guard.

Iii 1925 Capt Jonathan Merry OF
Marblehead, Mass, died, leaving to
his heirs claim against the French
government for seizure of his schoon =
er, the polly" captured by French
pirates. Sixty years later the sum OF
$4,000 was awarded to his estate.
One OF the heirs, Miss Mabel E. AL
len, of 26G Henry ST., Brooklyn, N. Y,
could not be located; and in 1895
was declared legally dead by the su-
preme court of Massachusetts and of
the United States. Seventeen years
later she was found and legally re-
stored to life, so that she might in
herit $4,000 of the amount awarded
to the Marblehead sea captain. What
a surprise this must have been to
Miss Allen, and what a surprise also
for those who had expected to have
her share of the inheritance.
Something like the experience of
Miss Allen awaits the Sodomites,
whose city was destroyed 2045 B. {.
The Sodomites have not only been
legally dead, but actually dead ever
since the bitumen, sulphur and slime

their city; but. like Miss Allen, they

To Ardmore Business Men:
You are most urgently requested to
attend mass meeting which will be
held at the rooms Of the Commercial
Club on Monday, May 19, at 10 o'clock
sharp, for the purpose Of working up
plans for booster trades extension
trip throughout the county.
This matter is one of most vital
interest to you, and We urge you to
be present at this meeting to assist
with your experience and advice.
Different counties throughout the
state are working this plan for the
extension of the general business
and for the purpose of getting in
closer touch with our farmer friends
and getting better acquainted with
the trade that lives in the country
We wish to make this trip in autos,
and there should be at least twenty
or twenty-five autos filled with
boosters for Ardmore and Carter
county.
There is "a lot of trade going to
other towns that should come to
Ardmore, and which rightly belongs
to Ardmore, but We are not getting
it for the simple reason we are not
going after it.
You have, in times past, done much
to help the farmer, and the farmer
should bring his trade back to the
town that helps him, but he will
not unless we keep going after him.
Will you be one to help in this
great trip?
We are surely going to make this
trip and it is now only matter of
who is going. We trust that you may
see the importance of this move and
get in line.
Monday, May 10th, is the time to
start. Be here.
